Basically,our island nation is long from south to north.
This fact makes our country have various temperature and also we can feel variety when we travel around Japan.
In the northern part of Japan like ''Hokkaido''you can see a lot of snow in winter.In such regions,people can't survive without heater.And also,The equipment against snow has been developed well.
For example,Under roads there are equipments heating road so that snow can't accumulate on the road.
And people in that region have to do ''Yukikaki'',which is the way of getting rid of snow.
Because if too much snow accumulates on roofs,houses would collapse.
So it is necessary part of living in region which has harsh winter.
As you goes to south,the climate gets milder.
Because my home town is lacated in the middle of Japan.It's not too cold in winter and not too hot in summer.Considering this,here is good place to live.
But some people say that people in the place which is easy to live tend to be lazy.
Because such people haven't experienced harsh part of living.
I think there is no evidence about that.
But considering my personality,it might be true...haha:)

Everybody has different personality☆
I recently feel there are so many people who have different nature.
But there is one guy I can't understand,the one who work at the same restaurant with me.
He has been worked there for almost seven years just like me.but he is still older than me,45years old or so.The things I can't understand are his behaviors.He often gets irritated and mad in difficult situation like there are too many orders from customers.
As a chef,there is no way to complain about such things.Moreover it is something we should be glad about.
For me,I really like such situations.Because customers in the restaurant would wait for good food we serve.It's something we should appreciate.
And everytime I am in the situation like that,I enjoy how quickly dishes are served,how beautifully I can cook it,it gets down to it,how I can satisfy customers.
And I think we can get many rewards back as their smiles.
Let's get to the subject.In his case,The more order he gets,The more he gets furious.
and he eventually take the situation on other staffs.Sometimes because of that,staffs quits the job.
I've been endured his behavior and treated younger staff hurt by him for a long time.
I'm sick of it.
....I'm sorry,lately my blog is always about complaints.It's not good.
But just please understand this.Writing makes my stress let go.
I need peace in mind:(

or Bad day?☆
I will continue to write yesterday's story.
Well,I got to the Miyako Hotel, though,My father looked weird as if he was looking for something....something......yes,as you guess....It's his car key!!
I just waited what he would say.The first words came up from his mouth is..''I'm sorry,I forget to bring my key.''
I couldn't believe his word.
The person who need to get his car back doesn't have key?
How did he think he is going to drive without his key.and....more surprisingly,he didn't notice until he got to the destination?It's ridiculous!
I was at a loss for words.
But It couldn't help it.There is nothing I can do for it.It's his responsibility.
The only thing I can do is just to accept his offer that I would take him back to my house and to go to the Miyako hotel again.
what a waste of time it was!!
However,considering today's incident,I really feel we are family.I am careless person.I often forget something.like my father.
So I will call it genetic reason just as an excuse:)

Good day or....?☆
Today,my father's voice woke me up early in the morning.
''Hiro!!Can you take me to the Miyako hotel?''
Miyako Hotel is the place where my father attended a year-end party of his workplace.
As he drunk alcohol,he couldn't come home by his car.So he just left car in its parking lot.
He needed to get his car back.
I thought ''what a troublesome it is!!'' in my mind.But I didn't say it,of course not.
And there was no way to refuse it because I didn't have any plan in the morning.
On the way to The hotel,all of a sudden It started to rain.
Today was a very cold day.if it were colder than today's temperature,It would snow instead of raining.
But rain didn't last long,it stopped short after it begin to rain.And the sun beautifully showed up from a big cloud.
Then,beautiful rainbow was formed in the sky.It was a huge,beautiful rainbow.
I thought,
''Although I was reluctant to do this,because I could see this,It is not so a Bad day.''
However,it was just beginning of story.I didn't know something like nightmare would be waiting for me.
But it's time to finish.I will write the rest of this story tomorrow.See you then....

I feel like...☆
I am not developing.The reason why I feel so is when I speak something,only few word can come up from my mouth.Have I been doing in wrong way?
The thing I have been trying to get is not this one!
I want to speak English more fluently...
I think I put too much emphasis on input not output.
So I need more output practice like talking about some topics,expressing my feeling in writing,learning the way of making conversation like posing quetion.
At the beginning of this blog,you might feel my mood seemed down.But now,I feel much better than when I started to write.
I believe this is the merit of writing. Even though we have bad mood,But as we write our feeling,it surely helps us with organizing our feeling and also giving power to move forward.
Life is not smooth sailing,and we sometimes made a big mistake and regret that,though,I belive this words.
If you never give up,you will surely get to your destination.This is my motto.
Anyway I need to shift little emphasis from out put to input.
I want to write about it.I mean the study plan in detail.But it is time to finish writing.Because It has already passed 30 minutes.
Anyway,I try to write this blog as many as possible.Thank you for reading:)

Recent days☆
It has been a long time since the last time when I wrote something.
but I want to excuse myself for this.Because I have been busy studying TOEIC.
TOEIC exam I took last Sunday is the last one in this year.I think listening part was well-done,I can say,It was the best one I've ever taken.On the other hand,Reading part was not as good as listening part.I don't know how much percentage I could answer right.But I couldn't answer all questions.
Although it is well known that we need time management when we take TOEIC,I failed to manage time.As a result,there remained five questions.
So that's why I wasn't satisfied with it.
But I decided to look on a bright side.
If we are satisfied with something,we might not expect more improvement.
I think this doesn't apply to everyone.But at least for me,it is true.
And also,I promised with my friend that I'm going to get perfect score someday.So I need to keep the promise.
I will be able to get the result this day next month. I hope I can get higher score than before...
As I haven't written for a long time,I could express less words than before.And I don't know if these sentence are correct grammatically or not.
But i believe ''practice makes perfect'',''efforts never tell a lie''
I will keep going. Thank you for reading:)

Health☆
Recently I have felt pain in my neck and shoulder.I've though for a while about what cause me this.
The possible reasons are two.
1.Studying
while I am studying,I am always in bad position,I mean,I tend to make my back round and stay in the same position.On the top of that,I basically spend a lot of time studying.
2.Lacking of exercise
I haven't been exercising since I came back to Japan from Trip.(During trip,I had to walk around a lot with heave backpack)I have rarely moved my joints recently.
I think a combination of these things cause me pain in my body.Thinking about these reasons,there are many solution to deal with them.
what come to my mind first is to quit studying.But as you know,It's a very stupid idea.I need to study for my goal.So it is just escape from study.well...I would have to discard this idea.haha
I think problem with studying is fundamentally not come from study itself,but come from staying in the same position.It would be a good solution to do light exercise During a break between studies.
I will try it in several days.And if It can't be solved,I will have to search for another solution....

No money...☆
I have no money now.
The reason is that payday is on 10th every month.Besides that,I didn't work during one and half month long trip.
Even though I can have two consecutive day off and have a lot of things to do like changing engine oil of my motorcycle,buying new shelf for my room,I can't afford to do it...
But I didn't want to waste my days off,So I decided to clean my room.
Basically I don't clean my room until my room become so messy.Yes,I know, it is not thing I'm proud of.But as you know,I'm honest person.I can't help saying so.
Although I don't often clean my room,once I started to clean,I am really into it.
I would stick to it until I am satisfied.However,everytime I clean my room,It always take a lot of time.It's not because I'm not good at arranging things but I find something nostalgic like photograph of my youth.It reminds me of fantastic memory.
What a fantastic inventory photograph is!
Because,in fact,we can't seize the moment.nobody can do that.Flooding time is equal to everyone.But if we use this inventory,we can put our precious memory into this square paper.
And it can recall our memory at anytime.
For this reason,I like taking pictures which is one of my hobby.

watching DVD☆
The previous blog I wrote is about one of my hobbies.So I will try to write about another hobby.
It is to watch DVD.I don't mind whatever genre it is.So I try to watch a various genre of story.
Now the DVDs I am watching are Gray's anatomy season 3,Shokkyaku(Korean drama),Yanebeya no neko(also Korean drama).
I like Gray's anatomy very much,because basically It is story about medical interns,though,it also have a lot of things like friendship,love,competition for career and so on.
And the part of it I like the most is that there are a lot of nice word which touch our heart at the beginning and ending of each story.It is like a philosophy.And I'm sure everyone would experience empathy with such words.
Shokkyaku is Korean drama which story is about the restaurant which serve traditional court food.Main theme is who will be successor of restaurant which is called ''Te ryong gusuku''.
And in order to decide it,the owner of this restaurant will provide a qualification exam.
The main character faces a lot of difficulties,though,he overcome such things.
Actually,now I have a lot of DVD I want to watch.But I have to watch it little by little.
Sure thing is to watch DVD is moistening my life:)

Cooking☆
It is one of my hobbies to make some dishes.
But what I have to mention here is Cooking everyday is very different from cooking sometimes.
In my case,If I have to cook everyday,It would become stress for me.I like making people happy with my dishes,though,I don't want to cook everyday.
I think it's very selfish to cook only when I want to cook.
Seeing my oldest sister,she cooks for us almost everyday.It's amazing.
I am really admiring her for this reason.
Because before my sister came back to our home I have been cooked meals for my family 4 or 5 days in a week,at that time,It was not fun at all.
It was just duty.I couldn't enjoy cooking.
I really wanted to run away from this duty.
Experiencing this,I doubted if I really liked cooking.
However,Since my sister came back,my passion for cooking has been back.
During cooking,I describe faces of people who are eating my dishes.
It is fun part of cooking.and needless to say,
watching people's happy face is also makes me happy.
I will continue to cook....but,you know,not everyday.haha

Learning Korean Language☆
I have a lot of Korean friends I made in the Philippines and Australia .And they all are my precious friends.
Actually,I wasn't interested in Korea until I met them.But when I first met them,I was really impressed by their nationality.
And also,for some reason,being with Korean friends was so comfortable for me.
My Korean friends said'' you look like a Korean not Japanese.''hearing this,I came to think I might be Korean.
when I went to Korea,their family and they gave a red carpet treatment for me.I was really happy to receive such a treatment.However,when I left Korea,I wanted to tell them my appreciation by Korean language,though,I couldn't do it.
This experience encourage me to learn Korean.
Since I came back to Japan,I have wanted to learn it.Daily busyness like preparing for teacher's exam,doing household chores,working,getting credit of university to graduate and so on have been prevented me from learning it.
But now I've passed all subject of university,in addition,my sister moved back into our home to help us.So I can have a little time to study Korean language.So I will study it little by little.
I've heard from Korean friends that they could learn Japanese in High school and university if they liked it.
So,in Japan also,I'm expecting to have the same situation as Korea in the future.
Besides that.I think we need to help each other and make something together to be better countries.
Anyway,I will enjoy learning to Korean language.

what my mother wanted to say☆
I had a opportunity to experience supernatural thing with my sister and relative.
Basically I don't believe this kind of thing,but the reason why I decided to go there is it was related my mother who passed away about one year ago.
In mother's home town,It is apparently common that they meet the person who can call a dead
after someone's death to hear about something like what a dead person wanted to say to relatives.
The person is called ''Miko''
One of my relative,who is a sister of my mother,ask my sister and me to go there with her.
Because my mother was a very patient person.She never say things which make us worry,even though she was terminal.
I always ask her,and her answer was always same.''I'm OK,Don't worry''.
So I couldn't listen to her real feeling in her mind until she died.
when I got there, I was still skeptical about it.However,After Miko put her mother's spirit in her own body,and talked to me.
My skepticism was gone.Because she talked to me as if she has been known me since long time ago.
I am in unstable situation now.I don't have stable job,and still study.
But my mother(Miko) said to me.
''stick to do it,because you decided your way by yourself''
Even though this word is applied to everybody,this word surely gave me a lot of courage.
I will stick to every thing appreciating my mother...

Golf practice☆
I went to golf practice with my family yesterday.
And it was maybe the secondtime for me.As I haven't practiced since the last time I did it,I think,It was almost first time for me.
I didn't know even how to grab a gulf club.
My first shot was terrible.I think It can't be said as''shot''.
When I swung the club,I didn't feel anything like impact on hitting the ball.
As you guess,yes,that's right.
I couldn't hit the ball.As my family was watching me,I was red in the face and said ''it's just a practice swing.
Of course It was not.But I pretend to practice swing.
After some practicing,I got some tips of hitting a ball.and It's becoming more enjoyable.
But as the picture above is showing,It was not real golf as a sport.It was just practice of hitting a ball.
Of course it was very important part of golf.what is called,Basic skill.
I felt Golf is a sport of mind.Because mental pressure affect players a lot.
Even though I want to write about golf,it's time to finish writing.
I wan to play golf in a golf course with my family some day.

Analysis☆
I took the practical English Proficiency test yesterday.My impression of the exam wasn't good.
However,I know what's the reason.
When we try to take the exam,first thing we should do is to know the exam such as how much time it is,what is the trend of it.We have to know what kind of exam it is before taking it.
And then,we should make the strategy for it.and also practice for it.
But I skipped all steps of it like what I wrote above.Since I applied for it,I haven't done any training for it.
Because it is said if you have over 800 score of TOEIC,It's easy to pass it.
But there was a reality that we can't achieve whatever without effort.
shamefully I was overconfident.I realized that I had to be humble whatever situation I am in.
I know I am awkward.
and also know the thing covering awkward part is effort.
It was good opportunity to rethink of that.

What I felt in this trip☆
I came back to Japan from trip to Southeast Asia 4days ago.
So I'd like to express what I felt in my trip.
First of all,when I was in Japan,I couldn't feel Japan was wealthy and developed country.
No.I shouldn't say so,It would be better to say 'I haven't thought about it.
Seeing from outside of Japan,as for everything, Japan is so wealthy and developed country.
But unfortunately we rarely think about it.and also we can't notice that we are so blessed.
we tend to forget to appreciate that we can live in this country.
After this trip,I'm so proud of my country.
And also,through this trip,I came to think what is HAPPINESS more often.
I saw a lot of kids who was smiling innocently,people who look happy,even if they can't go to school,they don't have enough money to live.
There is surely something we Japanese left behind in the past.
It's not money,convinience,comfort.There was more important than that.
I could learn a lot of things from this trip.I'm so satisfied with it.
If I have an oppotunity like this,I'd like to do it again.
There would be more things I could feel...

Barbecue party on the riverside☆
Yesterday,I threw the barbecue party together with my friends on the riverside.
It was awesome.There are good nature,beautiful river,and delicious foods.we had a great time eating a lot of food,swimming in the river.we haven't contacted with each other for a long time.but thanks to this event, I could hear about their great efforts in their own fields.I'd like to value what they are doing.Although they work at different place,in different field.
Compared to their splendid work,as for me,It seemed to look shabby.Sometimes I feel such an uneasy feeling.It seemed that my friends continue to proceed leaving me alone.
This is not true,This is just what I thought negatively.My Toeic score is showing my improvement.So,I will continue to try.
oh my god!The story deviated from Barbecue party...I have to go back to the subject.
umm,well, although I enjoyed Barbecue party,now...I am suffering from sun burn.It's really hart....

The Bon holidays☆
There are three long holidays in Japan.They are the new year holidays,Golden week,and the Bon holidays.Needless to say,whether we can have days off or not depends on the job we have.
But basically,most people can have days off during these time.
In my case,during this time,in addition I worked at restaurant,I had to work as a buddist monk.
Because My family's job is a buddist monk.And it has been taken over from generation to generation since long time ago.
Today, let me introduce our job during Obon.
First we visit patron's house.and then,we chant Buddhist invocation in front of patron's home alter, in order to hold a memorial service for ancestors.it takes about 10 minutes.After chanting, we can receive a donation.Basically it is put on the desk in front of alter.
In our region's case,1000 yen per one patron is the average.But It apparently depends on a region.seeing from general average,our region is quite low.
But of course,It doesn't matter the price of donation.The important thing is an thankful heart.
On the other hand,There is a reality that we can't continue to work as a Buddhist monk because of lacking funds.In my house's case,we can't make our living from only this job.That's why my father has two jobs,As a monk and social worker.
I also have to think about my style of working.
But basically,most people can have days off during these time.
In my case,during this time,in addition I worked at restaurant,I had to work as a buddist monk.
Because My family's job is a buddist monk.And it has been taken over from generation to generation since long time ago.

our life is limited☆
Recently I've been very busy.I can't do all things I have to do.
So,it means that troublesome things are adding up day by day.It quite bothers me.
I'd ask everyone how you deal with this kind of fact.Actually the ideas which come in my mind are doing somethings more efficiently and judging properly wether it really need or not.
First one isn't a big problem for me.Because when I do something,I always seek better way.And I think it's improving gradually.
But second one is very difficult for me.I'm not good at judging if it really need or not.Because I tend to try to do everything.But I know It's impossible.If we try to do everything,no matter how much time there is,It is not enough.
I often wish a day could have 48 hours.
Anyway,all I need now is think about priority and do it from top priority.

I had a great time☆
Yesterday,as my work finished earlier than usual,I ate out with my co-workers.
It' been long time since the last time I ate out with friends.First we were talking about work.But after that,the topic has been changing gradually.
we came to talk about love relationship.there were one female and two male including me.They both had boyfriend and girlfriend.The person who doesn't have girl friend was only me.haha
They seemed to worry about their relationship.
One guy has been seeing his girl friend for 8 years.But he doesn't know when he should tie the knot with her.I think he is old enough to get married and he can get married at any time.The only need for him is beautiful word of confession.I think it's going to be successful.
Just I hope for his success.
And another guy is suffering from boy friend's attitude.According to her,she wanted to erase his ex-girlfriend address and number from his cellphone.But he apparently refuse her proposal.
In my opinion,He'd better erase it,if he love his present girlfriend.And I think even though he erase it,nothing would change.If he want to get along with her, it's easy way to just erase ex-girlfriend information.I guess he might have any reliance on ex girl friend.
Anyway,Their distresses are luxury for me.Because I don't have girl friend now!haha
But now,it's really the time that I can concentrate on my goal.and I am thinking It won't be too late to look for loved one after I accomplish one goal which is becoming a teacher.

In my post☆
While I was checking mails and packages in my post,I found an interesting thing.
It is here,
This was probably written by an child in neighborhood.
This was about seeking a missing rabbit.It's really cute.I can imagine that the child wrote this very hard.But actually,for this child,It was really sad thing that the rabbit had been missing.
I haven't seen any rabbit around here.But I'd like to find it for the child.
umm,But it's a bit difficult to find it.Basically,Once any kinds of animals escape from their house,it's rare to come back again.Unless Dogs or Cats.
She might go back to wild life.
However this message is so appealing to me.So I will corporate with the child to search for her as much as I can.
I hope we can find her soon....

The sport I like the most☆
Yesterday,I played sport I like the most.It is Volleyball.Because I have been volleyball for more than 10 years.The time when I started Volleyball is at my age of 12.And the reason why I started it is that we have to belong to club when we enter Junior highschool.In my case,I really wanted to belong Strong club.In our school,it was volley ball club.
Volleyball gave me a lot of lessons.Of course it was very hard and strict club.But I realized it was worth it to endure strict practice.As you know,volleyball is team sport.we can't play it alone.Every time I was about to give up trying and I was down due not to performing well,My team mates always supported me, encouraged me.I also wanted to help my team mates all the more for that,when they had some trouble.Until now,they are my best friends.Because we shared all experience like happiness,joy,even grief.
I really learned a lot through playing volley ball.Patience,importance of helping with each other,having strong will,attitude toward something which I really want,and so on.I could say volleyball is the largest part which made me what I am today.
OK,now,it's time to stop introducing my past.Let's move on today's incident.I couldn't play it well.Because I haven't played it for a long time.But my mind is remembering how to play.But I think it's the biggest problem.Even if my mind remember how to play it,my body couldn't do it.Because of lacking practice.I was really disappointed that i couldn't do it well as I played it before...
The time is fast.I am aging steadily...haha
I know I am still young.But
I really felt I need to exercise to maintain my youth!

Today is for things to do☆
Today,I was done with many things I have to do.Everytime I have something to do,I always tend to put them on the back burner.Because of that,The things I have to do add up each day.This habit is bad one I have.But I still have it.
Anyway,I have been postponed renewing my driver's licence.The deadline when my licence will be expired is coming soon.So I needed to update my licence.I did it in the morning.After completing renewal,I felt so refreshed.
It is new me!!sorry....It's a little bit exaggerated.But I think,completing things we have to do,or getting rid of ideas which have been bothering us for a long time is really good for us.Anyway, that made me have fresh feeling.
After that,I got engine oil of my car changed.It it also time to change it.If I use my car without changing,my car might go worse earlier that when I change it.Actually,my car seemed to be happy to get new oil.haha
After getting it changed,I looked for a backpack for my trip.Although I have been looking for it since one month ago,I couldn't find one I like.But today,I found good one!Here is my backpack I bought today.
This back pack has a good function I like.
One is having rain cover which is water-proof.It's need when we run into sudden rain.
another is having space which is big enough.
I'm satisfied with this.I'm looking forward to use it.It's very exciting!!

The destination I've decided is......☆
Finally,I bought a ticket for Southeast Asia.So I postponed my trip for European country.It was a bit expensive to buy the ticket for Asia.but I could afford to buy it.Actually,I have been to Asian countries which are Thailand,Laos,Hongkong.I am expecting that I can visit countries I haven't ever been to and circle around Asia.
My plan is here.
☆ Leaving Japan on August 27th,arriving at Seoul before the day is over.
☆Staying in Korea for 4 or 5 days,and hopefully meeting my Korean friends.
☆Leaving Korea for Bangkok on August 31th.
☆Thailand →Laos→Vietnam→Cambodia→Thailand→Malaysia→Singapore
☆In Vietnam,meeting one of my Japanese friend.(He was transferred from domestic brunch to there last month.)
☆In Cambodia,participating in the school project.(If it's possible.)
☆Seeing the world heritage site as many as possible.
☆Taking picture and movie as many as possible.(Actually,I'd like to utilize these material when I teach at school next year.It could be living material for the student.)
☆Leaving Singapore for Japan on October 12th.
These are my rough plan.I will arrange it in detail before leaving.

The thing which excite me☆
After finishing teacher's examination.I have been arranging my trip.
It's really exciting me.But previous plan I thought was changed.
That plan was that I would go to European countries for one half month.But I have been busy for a long time because of exam.so,I didn't buy a ticket for Europe.then when I tried to buy that,it's already too late.Because almost all good tickets were sold out at that time.
And before I first came up with this trip,the plan had been different.It was that I would go to Asian countries this season.However this season which I expected to go there is rainy season.So that's why I choose Europe.I thought it would be better plan.
But now,I have to rethink of it.
I have already checked the ticket for Asian country.there still remain available tickets.And I think Asian countries rainy season is different from Japan.In Japan,It tend to rain all day long and it isn't heavy rain.But in other countries in Asia,It rains cats and dogs.But it's rare to rain all day long.So if I can endure it for one or two hour.I could travel around.So that's why I changed my plan again.Actually it is very exciting,I can't wait it.
As for trip for Europe,I will save money for that again as much as possible after coming back to Japan from the trip for Asian countries.
During trip,I'd like to write about how I feel,what I see.And also I want to share my experiences in this blog.

Teacher's exam☆
I've finished first term of teacher's exam.I need have prepared for the exam.It was obviously lack of study.I didn't have enough time to study......ah...It's miserable excuse.I often say ''make your time before you complain that there is no time.I have to punish myself.haha
If I passed the examination,the second exam is in the middle of the August.But The number of applicant will be got rid of by 60%.To be honest,It's going to be difficult to pass this term.And It is very common to pass the exam the third times or fourth times.But it is also true that few people pass the exam only one time.
anyway,I felt I need more practical experience that I can handle any problem which will happen at school.In order to get such experiences,It is necessary to teach at school,in fact.
Fortunately,Our prefecture has a system that we can work as a part time teacher even if we fail the exam.I should make use of this system and get experience.And I also felt that I have to study a major subject more.
This exam showed me what I need, what I have to do,what I think of while I am living.For this reason,I can say this exam was very beneficial for me.

The thing I realized today☆
Well,I read my junior's blog.It was story about recent days.And He seemed to enrich his life.The reason why I felt so is that he used to be the person who have negative thought.But now,I feel he has changed his way.when we were in the university,he often say negative comment on anything he would do.But now I cant feel any negative thought from him.
Actually, as I worried about his way of thinking,I am so happy to see his improvement.I realize that every people can change their ways if they want to change.
At the same time, I realized one more thing which I really like to see people's development.It makes me so happy.And it is not only development but also process or people's attitude toward difficulty.when I see the person trying to do their best in order to overcome their difficulties,It is very inspiring me.They give me a lot of power to move for my goal.
And I'd like to believe this nature which I have is great advantage when I become a teacher.I can see a lot of people who manage their difficulties,of course I am willing to help them when they need help.It's very rewarding job.
If people think it's impossible,It's going to be impossible.But If we think It's possible,I think,99 percent of things is going to be possible.
So Don't be afraid of trying and thinking it's possible.

English☆
English is very difficult for me.I am always looking for the way of improving my skills.Especially speaking,Even if I can express my feeling well,I can't do it next time.And I can also say the opposite thing.When I can't express my feeling well,I get depressed.
However,I realized one thing which is true through learning English.And I can also say it's not only learning English but Everything I do.
The key to success is to continue to do it.If we stop continuing to do,nothing gain,nothing happen,nothing improve.But if you continue to make effort in someway,regardless of more or less,It surely lead you to success sooner or later.
Life has two side,of course we have a lot of downhill as well as uphill.And I guess it's very difficult to continue to do it when you are in downhill of life.But remember this.
whatever situation you are in,if you continue to do it even for 1 minute,you would move forward.
We also say,there is no rain which doesn't stop or there is no night that isn't dawning.As this words say,It doesn't last downhill of life forever.
Just endure it in your downhill and also enjoying overcoming such difficulties:)

Ippachi shokudo☆
Today,fortunately,It wasn't an ordinary day.After studying at cafe for theacher's exam,I was invited to eat for lunch by co-workers.Actually, As I have been trying not to use money,I haven't gone for a lurch for a long time.So,I permitted myself to go there.
We went to ''Ippachi Shokudo''.when we translate this into English.it means ''one eight restaurant''It sounds very weird.But I don't know why owner name this ''Ippachi shokdo''There might be some reason I don't know.
Anyway, we went there. The merit of eating at this restaurant is amount of food at cheaper price.You would be surprised when you see that food will be served.And you would be also surprised again how cheap this is.
The bill wasn't so expensive,and fortunately,yesterday was my BirthDay.One of my co-worker treated me.I was lucky.
After coming back home,I cooked dinner for my family,study again,And I have to go work from now.
Thank you for reading this short story,this blog is becoming the part of my daily practices.
See you soon:)

Birth Day☆
Today I became 25 years old.Nothing changed,Just the number was changed from 24 to 25.Today is very ordinary day.Study,house chores,work.But you know,Happiness is in our daily life.
As I wrote it before,we can eat food,have family and friends,live in this moment.Considering this,we are very lucky.Don't you think so?
I sometimes feel I am still arrogant.I sometimes want more than basic needs.So I'd like to be more generous,have more peaceful mind.Something bad is happening somewhere without knowing.Extend our view,think of it,and find solution.There is something we can do.
I am really happy to get Birth Day message from my family,friends,teachers,
Thank you guys,I am sure that my 25th year is going to fine.Because of your support.
At last I'd like to say this again.
Thanks a million!!

The most exciting time☆
These days,The most exciting time for me is when I plan travel around Europe.
But I haven't decide it in detail yet.what I've already decided is the date of trip.It's at the end of August.probably 24th or 25th.
I have been struggling to save money.But I've already saved almost money I expect.It was hard.I restrained myself from buying things I want.This would be reward of it.haha
Actually I'm planing that I will travel around Europe for one or one half month.And also expecting that I can go to Spain,French,Italy,German,Switzerland,The Czech,Austria,Holland.I think.It might be a little bit tight schedule.I may have to rethink of it.
Today,I was looking for a backpack for travel.But there are too many kind of backpack.So,I couldn't choose one.ummm.I think,when I think of backpack,the most important thing is whether it suit me or not.And second one is functionality.
This functionality I am thinking is that I can lock a zip,and the backpack with waterproof cover.
After thinking of these kind of things,I'll buy the one suit me.
I am really really excited to think of this.But I don't have to forget that I have to take the teacher's examination before this great trip.
But...
I can't help thinking of this!

After training vol.2☆
These days,after coming back home from work,I lie on the bed.And then,I fall asleep although I have a conversation lesson.I don't know why I can't keep awake.
Anyway,I have to apologize to my tutors.I 'm sorry.One thing I realize is not to lie.haha
As I said that before,I'd like to continue to write about practical training.
The second institution I went to is the school for the children who have disability.It is called ''special support school''
The class I was engaged in is the class which has students who have body paralysis.I spent two days with them.I played dabble in the water with them and made some decoration for ''Tanabata Festival''.In Japan,On that day,we usually wish something for stars.
Their wishes are ''I wish I could spend more time my family''''I wish I could be given TV game''They are very honest and cute.I am sure their wishes will come true.
During that two days,I also saw their difficulty when they do something.
But I realize that they all are very positive.
I have seen a lot of people who complain about difficulty or situation.Of course,unfortunately I am one of them.I was really ashamed to see their positive attitude toward life.
I don't know how much I gave them influence.But I am feeling that they give me a let of lessons.
I'd like to make the best use of this experience after becoming teacher.
''There is nothing impossible''

But I realize that they all are very positive.
I have seen a lot of people who complain about difficulty or situation.Of course,unfortunately I am one of them.I was really ashamed to see their positive attitude toward life.
I don't know how much I gave them influence.But I am feeling that they give me a let of lessons.
I'd like to make the best use of this experience after becoming teacher.

what she said made me sad☆
Today I meant to write the story about training.
But I will write another thing happened today.
I don't know if you know this or not.
Since my mother died,I have been doing house chores like cooking,cleaning,laundry and so on.
Of course I don't do it everyday.I shared them with my sister.But my sister is sometimes very busy because of work.So, on average,I do them almost 4days a week.In addition to parttime job and study almost everyday.
But it might not be enough.I only think selfishly that I am doing this.
I might be under illusion.
Today,my grandmother went to the hospital to check her back condition.(Because she got her bone broken several month ago.)And I also went to the hospital to pick her up.
On the way home,while we were talking,she said to me ''you should help family''.I don't hate my grand mother.I love and respect her.
But all the more for that,this word made me very sad.
I have been trying to help family,But for her, she saw me as if I didn't do anything...
I will also do my best.
But indeed,I am down today..

After training vol.1☆
I finished practical training in care giving.
It was very inspiring experience.I went to two institutions to undergo training.One is the institution for severe autism.Another is the school for the children who need special care.
I went to the former one for 5days and the latter for 2days.
It was hard for me.Because It was, indeed,first time to take care of them. I didn't know how to communicate with them,how to touch them.
Sometimes I feel afraid of them seeing that they hurt themselves.
Autistic person was very interesting. Although they are very difficult to transfer their feeling to others,they are very intelligent. One of them had a good memory.He could memorize some number for a short time. Some of them had fixation on particular thing like what they wear.
Surprisingly one of them wore 12 Tshirts at the same time.As I thought it was very hot for him,I suggested that he took off his Some clothes.And then he shouted and cried. He strongly refused my offer hitting his head on the wall.
I was very surprised.
Through this experience,I could learn a lot of lessons.
What I want to say the most is that they also human being as same as we are.
Today's time is up.....

Practical training in caregiving☆
From next monday,I have to undergo practical training in caregiving.
It is necessary to get a teacher licence.
Until several years ago,It was not necessary to undergo practical training in caregiving.
But after recent revising the school education law,it became necessary condition.
The goverment explains why teachers need such experiences.
The reasons are here.
Thesedays,there are so many teachers who don't have enough ability.(This is not that teacher can't teach well,It means lacking the way of how to lead students to thier own answers)
ummmm,It's very difficult to explain it.How can I say it?
Anyway,the government thinks that this is because they lack experiences.
Because if they undergo such trainings,they can think about problem from different point of view.
ummm,I wanted to write this topic....but actually,my brain doesn't work today..
I guess I might feel nervous without realizeing as for training.haha
just I hope I will be able to enjoy it,and I can get a lot of things through it.

Daily routine work☆
From the beginning of this month,I added it to my daily routine going to cafe.
In japan, when I enter a store or cafe,a clerk ask us how many person they expect,and whether we smoke or not.
After asking several questions,they lead us to specific seat.
Firstly,of course,I was also asked it,and answered ''One person,I don't smoke''.
But recently,instead of these questions,they say''Hello,you can sit there''because I was there almost 5times in a week.
And because I order the same coffee with morning set(this is Ice coffee with a boiled egg and a slice of bread),they also ask me ''Is it all right to serve the same as usual?''
And surprisingly,After I haven't been there for consecutive 4days,when I went there again,one of clerks at the cafe asked me ''Where have you been?What's wrong with you?''
Actually that was a funny situation.
but I think they may well remember me.Because I am an odd,wired person.
Most of customer usually go there with someone like friend or family etc..
And they usually chat with each other.
But in my case,I go there alone and just eat the same food,read a book written by English,and practice listening with i pod.It's so quiet as if I were not there.haha
Actually,this moment when i am there is becoming important part of daily life.
Because I can concentrate on something there.
If I stay at home,I would be lazy,probably,I would not do anything,just be lying on the bed.
It's good for me to go there:)

Oil spill☆
These days,The disaster on the Gulf of Mexico has been reported repeatedly on TV. And they mention concern over effect to the environment.
Today I read an article about this in the news paper.
It was an article about rescuing oiled birds.
Because of oil spill,many species of birds is suffering from this oil.As the left picture show.
And this article said that a lot of people is working on this problem.cleaning up their body oil.
But sadly,there is a few experts who say It is futile.From their point of view,It won't be fundamental solution.And according to them,If they are taken care of by human handling,they would feel a lot of stress.Then,even if they get clean, they might not live longer.So they say we shouldn't do these things.
Once in a while, scientists or experts say such a stupid thing.Of course It might be right from the scientific point of view.But then,what should we do?Let them die in the oil?
I really want to ask them''can you do that?just leaving them.''
We sometimes decide something out of the rule,theory. we can't decide it by only rule or theory.
We should see inside our heart,listen our heart.
And then,follow our feeling.

Are you optimist or pessimist?
Do you think you are optimist?
My answer is ''No''.I don't believe I am an optimist.
But most of my friends say I am an obsolute optimist.
In Philippine,I met a lot of Korean friends.
One day,I walked along street with my Korean friends after drinking.
Although i didn't notice it, I had gotten my wallet stolen.
I didn't notice it,until I paid for my ice cream.
But I gave up on my wallet as soon as I realized it.
And said to my friends,''OMG,my wallet was stolen.
They looked surprised to see this.They must have thought of like this.
''Why are you smiling in this situation?''
That's how they say I am an optimist.
But I think there is no use regretting past.
I can't change what happened.and I knew that my wallet would never come back.
If we worry about past,nothing would change,but one thing would change.
it's our feeling.If we worry too much about past,our feeling would go down.
Is there anything beneficial?
So that's why I never regret my past.
It's good to learn from past,but not good to regret.
Just let it be,accept it,and put it to good use.

TOEIC☆
Today became a big milestone for me.
Because I got the result of TOEIC and It's the best score I've ever taken.
Score is 865.Listening part is 460.Reading part is 405.Maximum score is 990.It consist of two parts,listening and reading.
I've been eager to have over 860.The reason is that if we have this score,we can have a privilege in seeking job.
And in my case,when I take the teacher examination,the part of special field will be exempted.
I'm really happy to receive this score.
Sometimes I felt anxious about studying English.I suspected If this way is good or not.
It seemed to walk in the dark without any light and map.But even in such a darkness,I could see some bright light.It lead me here.
so,I really want to give thanks to every person who showed such a bright light.
I mean,I'd like to express thanks to all teachers , my friends,and my family.
However,this is not my goal.It's just one step of my goal.
TOEIC can indicate only Listening skill and Reading skill.
I have to practice speaking and writing.
I need your help:)

feeling stress??☆
I got terrible headache yesterday.so,I was lying on the bed for most of the day.
I don't know where this symptom come from,and what cause me such a headache.
But this symptom is common for me.
since I was a child,I have had headache manytimes.
and my father and elder sister often has headache as well.
I think it seems like genetic reason.And when I talked with them about headache,i realized there were common fact that we often have headache on rainyday or the day after we think about something deeply or just when we are tired.
I guess especially weather is connection with migraine.
It's common thing for the person who have migraine.
I think we sometimes have a problem we can't get rid of completely.
In case of that, we should learn how to get along with such a problem.

South Africa☆
Recently,one of my daily routines is watching CNN news.(of course I can't understand everything)
But this is also good practice for me.
In the news,I saw interesting scene,where a little kid speak English well.
And I wonder why he speak English well. At the same time I felt envious of him.haha
After watching news,I checked it through the Internet,and then,I found that English is one of official languages in South Africa. according to Wikipedia,There are 12 official languages in South Africa.
Now Soccer World Cup is being held in South Africa. and people all over the world are enthusiastic over watching these match.and I feel that I am closer to foreigner,thanks to World Cup.
I think this kind of events help us to get together.And then,It would lead to world peace.
this would be better way than that each country's president talk with each other.

Daily appreciation☆
I think people tend to forget to appreciate daily life.
it is too ordinary for us.
but there are many hidden things we should appreciate.
it's that we can get up in the morning,we can eat foods(food),we can have family,even that we can breathe and more...
but sadly,most of people think their life (are) busy,and don't appreciate them.
as i said it self-importantly,sadly the person like above descriptions is completely me.
I'd like to change my attitude.I will appreciate everything in my life.
I am thankful that i can have friends,eat foods,walk,breath,live in this world.
when you think of these, you will noticed how wonderful our life is.
this time is a little bit religious,but this is true.
think our life positively,and appreciate them.

Rainy season☆
Rainy season started from this week.the humid day has been continued in these days.
Rainy season is called ''Tuyu'' in Japanese.it is usually from june first week to July third week.
of course, this season varies from the place to place in Japan.
this is because of ''baiu(seasonal rain)front''
this front is made in the south of Japan,and goes up to the north.
so it mean in the south part of Japan ''Tuyu''starts and ends earlier than north.
and as you guess, in the north, it's the opposite.
in this season,it's always crowded laundry store.
we have to wait there for a long time to dry clothes.
according to weather forecast,the rainy day will have been continued untill sunday.
It's so gloomy.i hope it will end as soon as possible.

Dreams☆
Today,my father said to me that everyone has to have dream.
and he also said if there is no dream,our life would be no value.
if people hear what he said,they would think he has a positive way of living.
but if people know why we were talking about this,their thought would be changed.
the reason why he said so is here.
first we(my sisters and I) complain about his way of using money.
because he tend to waste his money,he often buy things he don't need.
in addition to that,he likes horse racing very much,of course he doesn't only watch it but also bet some money,and lose.
so we blame him,because of it.and he said
''everyone has to have dream,no dream no value in our life!''
yeah,this is just his excuse.but I felt more than that.
because i think having dream is very important in our life.
it may be small or big,hard or easy.
but
I'm sure that whatever dream people have, it must make them live positevely.
even if those who are in big trouble,it must be great motivator to get over that situation.
what is your dream?
Let's have dreams.and keep going forward with it!

Japanese culture☆
it's been a long time.
I guess this was not because i was busy.
it's because i was lazy.
however,i reconsider my way of study.and realized that writing is important for me.
so I've decided that i restart this blog.
I'd like to update as many as i can.
but i have to say,
i don't know if it will last or not.haha
only God knows it.
but just i'm gonna try.
today i've finish reading the book written by English.
it's the book which introduce Japanese culture ranging from Holiday to religion.
though it was very interesting,but i was horrified how much i don't know Japanese culture.
when i talk with foreigners, it's important introducing own culture.
i think it's the best way to enjoy conversation when we first meet.
so what i want to say is there is a lot of benefit to know our own culture.
from today, i will learn not only English but also Japanese culture.
that's all for today.
as you know,this is for improvement of my skill.
so i would really appreciate it if you correct any mistake i do.
