Hakubi line rail way

I went to my home town by train. I took a Shinkansen to Okayama from Osaka, and a Yakumo to Yonago from Okayama.

Both a Shinkansen and a Yakumo are Limited Express. But, Yakumo stops sometimes because of train traffic lights and crossing path.

This is very exceptional trains, I think.
Why Limited Express stops by traffic lights? We stopped 3 times in the way...This is not local train!

ideal family

I expect that I can make a happy family in the future.

I imagine everyone want to do it.
I got an idea from the DVD of Mouri Motonari, one of the feudal warlord in Japan.
Motonari had 3 sons. They often fight each other with talk. Other people said that the children are like cats and dogs, but, I saw it as one of very amusing form of family.

3 sons make very vivid and funny atmosphere.

I would like to make a family like that, very vivid and funny.

Gmail

I usually use Gmail as my mailing software.
It offers label, instead of folder. This is very useful system, I think.

The most useful point is that I can use other mail address than Gmail address, like Yahoo mail address...as you know...
I have 3 mail address and mobile phone. These days, I manage these all mail address on the Gmail.

I have been getting involved in Google services.

Tomorrow date

About half a month ago, I made an appointment with one of my friend to go to theater.

I worked out one plan of date and told her it. She kindly offered to put ahead the meeting time. Further more, she offered that she would get the ticket...


I decided to have her do it with a little hesitation. To be honest, it is very convenient to take that way.

The problem is that I have to go to my part-time job. It binds me till 23.
Today, I slept only 4.5 hours and 6 hours tomorrow. This is a half as long time as I usually sleep. Addition to it, I work till late. So, I would need more sleep.

I expect not to sleep too long...

Christmas Eve

Yesterday, it was Christmas, and it is Christmas today, you know...

I had no appointment these 2 days. So, I went to church and attended to the mass.
I went to Suita church for the first time.
It is new church, built last year. The establishment is so beautiful and clean.

I laughed that 3 fathers are all foreigners...This is Japanese churce! Every father speak English with foreign acccent.


It was horse barn replica made by fathers. It was very beautiful and of good sense, especially under the moon light.l

After Christmas mass, Christmas party was held.
Fried chicken, cakes, sushi, and chocolate are treated. I didn'teat them and feel full in a long time.

There were many children. 10 children under 5years were there...Very cute...I like children.
They talk through mike. They run around.

I don't go to church so often. But, the church is very amusing, I feel.

The problem is that the mass is held from 8 o'clock......early....for me...

Present a little early

I bought 2 shirts.
This summer, I decided to put in black clothes. But, I have not gotten black clothes and pants. So, I can't be in all black clothes.

I bought 2 black shirts. So, I will put them in and celebrate happy Christmas.

What I want.

Long coat I put on these days is so long that I'm very satisfied with it.
Sometimes, I accidentally step on its edge at the stairs.
With the inclusion of it, it is warm enough, even running by bike, and its color is good for me.

Yesterday, I went to the university in theat coat for the first time. Some friends told me that it looks cool and so long!
I like that coat and myself in it.

After Christmas, I promesed date with one of my female friends...I like her very much!
I'm going to meet her in that coat.

What I expect that I can have her...
Please advise me...!

Mendelssohn

These days, I often listen to violin concert, written by Mendelssohn.
This is the piece I played 4 years ago at the philharmonic orchestra in Osaka university.
Some months ago, I often listened to symphony No.4, written by Brahmus.
It is also the piece that I played 4 years ago, at the same regular concert.

Oh, I have 2 "concert"...
It has 2 meanings at same spelling. It is like the Japanese "douon-igigo"(2 words with same pronunciations)

early morning

I got up early (or generally...?) this morning for the class. Since today, intensive class courses are offering.
I memorised that the class was from 10:30, the 2nd class time.

When I got to university, yawning, and checked the notice board, I knew that the class was from 14:40, the 4th class time. This was because language class of undergraduate school had been offering till 14:30, the 3rd class time.

Oh?

Getting early was waste? (I could have sleep till late!)
Last night, I was on part-time job till late, and I went to bed at 3:00 am. I was sleepy......

3 days in a low

I went to a book store for my part-time job.

Yesterday, I also did it.
Tomorrow, I am going to do it,too.

At last, I work 3 days in a row, though it's holidays...

This three days are my busiest holidays......Sorry! It's emphasised very much.

lost

I attended the seminar for job hunting.
In the way home from that, I mistook the way. I ran at will without cirtainty by bike. I didn't know the direction.

I went into residential block. So, I went through the random way. I felt a little nervous because of the unfamiliar sight.

At last I stumble on familiar street near the Osaka station.

relieved...

In the end...

Today, I intended to be absent from class for the first time in my school life.

I got up at half past from 9 o'clock.
I noticed that I can go to the university in time for 2nd class.

But,,,I took preference on resting rather than taking class.
This is the first experience.

I have been absent from many class, but they were because I can't be in time.


So, I finally started to get dull...?

Rainy days

From 2 day ago, it has been raining in Osaka.
I heard that rainy days were very unusual in December in western region of Japan.
These several years, abnormal climate is occuring around the world. These rain may be the one of that.

According to this rain, I don't put on my long coat, made with fur skin because I don't want to make it wet...I blame this rain...I want to put it onnnn..

I hope it is shine fair weather.

misunderstand

Yesterday, I received an e-mail from the manager of seminar.
It says that the presentator is C-san and S-san.

When I read this, I thought that "S-san" was my friend. But, today, the presentator was not she. I don't know S-san, who presented today, at all.

Oh,,,I went to seminar with myself interested in the presentation of my friend!! It's a little pity...

A small misunderstanding...

Long coat

I got the new long coat at last. No sooner a man came with my coat than I go out for interview.
After getting home, I immediately put it in.
...It's still too large for me in spite that this is smaller one.
But, the length is what I imagine. The end come to my calves of legs. I should look so cool...I imagine.

Good.

What I did't intend is that I sometimes step on the end when going up stairs accidentally.

cleaning

I received my suits at cleaning shop. I need it for the individual interview of my job hunting.
I feel very nervous so far...

Last Saturday, I participated in a seminar on analysing oneself. I'm glad to practice it at the drop of a hat. But it makes me feel nervous because this is my first time to practice it.

Ah,,,please relax me at the interview.

promise to go to movie

Now, I'm making a promise to go to movie with one of my friends.
She is the 4th grade student of nursing care college in Hyogo prefecture. Recently, she got her work at a hospital submitted her graduate thesis. So, I want to congratulate her.

I asked her what she wanted to do with me, and she told me to go to movie.
I decided a movie whose thema is christmas.


The movie may be the last chance to meet her and tell her my feelings to her.

This will be the third time to tell her my love.
I make a plan to have her.

good customers, good shops

I assumed that on-line shopping doesn't allow us to mistake and return the commodities.

These days, I'm trying to buy long coat through Internet. And I made some misconception on their size. So, I have to return them or exchange to another size one.


I sent e-mails to the shop to ask for the returning and exchanging the commodities.
Shops replied immediately to send the commodity, and they cancel or exchange the first shopping to another one.


So, I moved away from the idea that shops were always too stubborn to respond to customers' calls.

Good shops are kind enough to work for customers if customers are polite and justified as a customer (I think of myself as that...)

a cold? or only assumption?

These 2 weeks, I may have caught a cold. I have running nose and cough.
Some friends said that it's caused by "noro" virus.
?
Isn't it bacteria coliform, which is the source of food intoxication?
I did't know that virus. I did know only its name. The short-stay welfare institution for disabled people has been telling that "noro" virus has been prevelent.
So, I assumed "noro" virus was intoxication bacteria.

It may be only assumption.

one-pot cooking

I have been eating one-pot cooking this week. I put various ingredient into a pan.
meats, carrots, celery cabbage, bean curd and so on. I make this because it is very easy and hot to eat everyday.
I don't use oil to cook it, only boiling. So, I feel hungry for fried foods these days. Today, I felt it in front of pork cutlets.
Fighting with my own desire to have fried food, I passed the corner and bought ingredient to be boiled.

Tomorrow, the dish will be one-pot cooking too.

package-delivery service

The day before yesterday, it was the due date of the arrival of the coat I ordered on the web.

But, I could not get it though I was at home till 3 o'clock.
Why?

Yesterday, I catched the contact paper of absence. It was quater past of 7 pm. I was on my part-time job at that time.
...It's very late, isn't it?

I'm going to the delivery center to get it unless it's too large to carry on bike. Of cource I can ask them to bring it again, but, I'd like to catch as soon as possible.

Tale of the Heike

I bought Tale of the Heike, which is one of the most famous Japanese classics.

I hovered between books with only original sentences and modern translation addition to the original. Japanese classics are unique and interesting even if we only read aloud.

I want the book because I read a fantasy novel written on Tale of the Heike. So I want to understand the basic of the story and read as general culture.

At last I decided the book with original sentences. I will try to read...It seems to pay much time and have a difficuly.

Big hole

When I was taking my part time job, I found my sox have big holes on right heel.

At the job, I often put off my shoes, so, the holes were seen by many people.
It made me look like the poor, from the view point of Japanese.

Even if I put on my shoes, I felt the holes under the shoes. I felt my heel rubbing with shoes directly. The feeling was very strange for me.

holiday...

Today, I have no class on Saturday. And, I don't have anything to do. No part time job, no appointment, no transcription...

This situation made me feel dull. I slept till noon.
I slept long enough to get a clear brain and I went to Hommachi to see the coat.

It was a little short as I imagined. But, I can put it on over the suit and looks very warm.


I'm looking forward to putting it on when it gets colder and I have to change coat.

Business suits or casual fashon to put on?

Today, the briefing session on the test of staff to work at national institution in Kansai was held at my university.
It was at university library hall. It was designed by university staffs, basically for students.
It's much formal session, which is announced at formal web page. But, this is a project on university. So, I couldn't decide which to put on, suits or other usual fashon.

After ten minutes consideration, I put on my business suits I bought for job hunting activity.

When I arrived at the room, I found most of students are in business suits. (My decision was agreed by most people)


To be honest, I put on trench coat over the suit. It is what I usually put on casually. I imagined it looks natural, but casual coat and business suit might be very strange combination, I think.

Long? or Large?

I could hear the long coat from many shop staffs.

These days, the fashon trend of coat is on short coat, which is similar to casual fashon. So, many shops have short coats and less and less long coat.

Some shops had what seemed good, but they were too large. It was long enough, but, too large for me. So, I had to search many shops.

Fortunately, I could find good one. Maybe, it's not the best. But, I felt good. So, I ordered one because there is only too large one for me at the shop.

Next Saturday (2nd December) I can get it at the shop...Semba Center Buildings.

The darkest place is under the candlestick.

These days, I have some difficulty to find new coat.
Today, I went to men's suits shop near my house.
Surprisingly, I found many interesting shops.

I couldn't find the satisfying one, but, a kind of satisfaction came to my heart. I felt this kind of feelings for the first time.

Maybe, this is the real satisfaction.

open seminar

I attended the open seminar in Toyonaka campus. The title is "Culture, Identity, and Globalization"
I'd like to describe the library services to multicultural society and education with multiculture. So, this topic is very interesting for me.

Unfortunately, the guest speaker is the German and spoken language is English. This blocks out my understanding because I'm not good at listening to words in English!

But, this seminar itself is very interesting and the teacher is very gentle man...

Children play the piano/electric piano

Today, I went to Hommachi to shopping again.
The destination was exactly what I imagined yesterday, but the doors are closed and windows are shut down.

Oh, the shops are all closed! The buildings are closed on Sunday...

I was a little disappointed, but I found the "Concert of thanks"(Arigato concert) held near there.

I entered the hall and found many children running. And the players are also children. Farther more, the music cheered me up. I used to play the violin from when I was 5 years old. So, I remembered when I performed the violin. It's very comfortable and good memory.

Today, I walked very long way, and very tired. But, I feel very nice day with a lot of interesting events.

I went to Namba for my shopping

I went to Namba, where I have not been for a week. (This is rather frequent for me.)
I wanted to buy my long coat because I feel cold these days.
But, I didn't find the satisfacotry one.
Instead, I bought the down jacket to put on at driving my bike. So, I will ride bike
without quaking...I hope.

I hope this is not bad

I recovered from stomach disorder. I have been away from any society.
I didn't access inter net. I didn't even go out.

Today, I went to the university, and take 1st class. then, I went to Kyoto, where I accompanied 2nd grade students.
We could know the new social welfare service systems(SWSS) in Japan.

Japanese SWSS are, now, to lighten the burden of government, the staff said.
Whether it's true or not, I think this is valuable story to listen.

I was very interested in that explanation.

number

These days, I noticed one interesting thing about my blog.
It is that many people stay at my Blog when I come to mixi, one of SNS services.
Usually, 10 to 20 people reads my blog. But, my visit to mixi brings 40 people.
Maybe, these numbers are very small. How about your Blog? How many people visit your blog?

About class

National Social Welfare services vary very much.
Today, I took a class on services for disabled people. The topic is leisure. We compared Japanese services with Swedish.
I think Japanese services are not sufficient. I imagine many people will think so. Japanese parliament changed the law on welfare services for the disabled. It says, service demands the charge to the users. They could use them for free on the previous systems.
The responsible person says the reason why the system gets charged is the lack of money to run. But the cost prevents disabled people from using the system and from going into society as human beings. Japanese social welfare service systems have many problems. Without solving them, to make them bear additional cost is the very shortage of services.

Fight with myself.

Today, I didn't go out. I stayed in my room all the day.
I washed and watched TV.

This should be unhealthy life.


Usually, I go to university and take some classes. But I have no friends to go out with.
So, I'm free, especially in holiday.

I hope I can be busy with my friends.

Maybe, I'm so shy.

What do you do in the holiday?

fashon? or affording?

I tried hair dressing form for the first time in my life.
I have been longing for fashonable hair style.
But, it didn't work as I imagined.
So, I afforded another hair dressing...
I feel being spending too much, these days.
