What I do today

I got up at 7 a.m. this morning. After that, I did a wash and went to my office.

In my office I prepared some documents for afternoon's meeting with our client in the morning, and in the afternoon I had a meeting with my most important client and after getting back to the office, I researched on the new technology.

I left the office at around 9 p.m. and during riding on the commuter train, I read the book written about ASP.NET. By the way, I have been eager for ASP.NET, which is of course the developer's software produced by Microsoft, because of it's revolutionary feature and the things that it would make possible.

Getting my home, I took a shower and had a cold pear. After that I did the training of speaking and writing English through reading a book out loud and doing the dictation. As I had mentioned, dictating English is extremly useful to those who are the starting point of studying English.

And now, I am writing this blog in English after writing some mails in English. Then I would go to bed at around 1 a.m. dreaming of wonderful things, which is brought thanks to being without alcohol.


Thank you. And nice to meet you tomorrow.

125th TOEIC Test is over

The 125th TOEIC Test is over. And my ambition to get above 900 points was broken.

The listening section was more difficult than I anticipated in advance. Especially the British accent bothered me thoroughly. I regreted not studying hard on listening English. At the next time I would totally master on the listening section, especially the British accent by subscribing the BBC news on my iPod.

I have nothing but English. My friend and even my lover is like English. Mastering English is my only dream. Without English, there would be no hope in my life. --- To practice writing English, these sentences is kind of exaggerated.


Thank you.

TOEIC Test

I have to do that.


I'll get over 900 points.


That's it.

Rock-climbing

I went to Isara, a rock gym, to rock-climb this evening. I could climb the route that I had focused on. From this week I decided I go to the gym twice a week. Climbing twice a week makes me more powerful and be a good climber.


Certainly I lived in my life.

Thank you.

The most important thing in my life

The most important thing in my life is to be honest. I should be honest for my wife, my son, my daughters, my friends, my clients, and my life. I should be always decent, polite, merry, vigorous, brave, and honest.

My life is just beginning. God, look at me. My oath would be completely done.


Thank you.

It's necessary to ...

It is necessary to keep doing something. Keeping doing is power. So I have been studying English for almost two years now. I would get soon the fruits of that. I am certain of that.


Thank you.

Workbook

I have been trying workbooks for the next Toeic Test recently. There is a point that I noticed when did that. That is I am not I who existed four months ago. Four months ago I took the Toeic Test and got 855 points. That was terrible memory. However I have very much improved in English, especially writing English.

By the growth of writing ability, I can solve grammer problems easily. I feel that definitely. Thanks God! Finally I would get over 900 points on the next Toeic Test. I deserve it apparently.


Thank you.

My new teacher, Christie

I met my new teacher, Christie, in Shinjuku yesterday. Seeing her, I was surprised that she was so good at speaking Japanese. The thing that she can speak Japanese well has both the good side and the not good side.

The good side is of course convenient to communicate with each other on the difficult matter of English, such as about grammer. On the other hand the bad side is to make my motivation down by the fact that she can speak Japanese.


By the way, the die is cast. I would continue taking her lessons with enthusiasm.

Thank you.

United 93

I watched the movie, 'United 93', which is depicted about that horrible affair, 9.11, yesterday. As I had imagined in advance, that movie was totally serious. That had overwhelming reality of that affair. The people lived. The people cried. And the people struggled.

Watching that, my tear naturally dropped down from my eyes. Those who were in the theater cried too. Especially five minutes of the end completely made us embarrassed by the result of that affair. 'United 93' is the movie that I never watch again, but this is the movie that I had to watch and I felt good to watch.


Thank you.

PS
I would have to read the book written about 9.11, "The 9/11 Commisions Report", someday.

About English

I have to do nothing but study English. On the next Toeic Test I would get over 900 points. I think I deserve it. It's because I have studied English at least three hours a day. I have read various books more than anyone else. I have listened various material more than anyone else.

The time is coming. In two weeks from now I would do my best to enhance my English ability. My oath is becoming firm thoroughly.


Thank you.

Present methods of studying English

These days I study English by the following methods:

1. Read "Werther"at loud
2. Build up my vocabulary with "1100 Words"
3. Preparate for the next Toeic Test by handling exercises
4. Read various books thoroughly


Thank you.

I enjoy climbing

I am totally enjoying rock-climbing. I go to the rock gym at least once a week. My power of grip is booming up and my body is shaping up. I am completely satisfied with my physical area.

In a year, I would obtain ideal physical power and have a starting point to climb "Everest".


Thank you.

American Football

I went to the Tokyo Dome to watch an American Football game played with the team which my company sponsor. And my team won a landslide victory, 56-3.

After that game, I went to a Izakaya with my colleagues. The of course, I didn't drink alcohol. My oath is completely solid. I'm proud of that.


Thank you.

Abe, Shinzou

I had read a book written by Shinzou Abe, who is probably the next Prime Minister. Before that, I rather don't like him, because he didn't seem to be smart especially when he had his speech.

In this book he talks about Japan and Japanese, especially the pride of Japanese. He seems to be a good politician.


Thank you, I am sleep.

Injured

I have been injured in the foot for almost two months. Two months ago, when I tried to stand on my hands at the Inogashira Park, I fell down and strongly hurt my toe. At that time I thought that the injure was slight, but now that one still makes me irritate.

I am thinking to go to a hospital to be checked my toe. It may be broken.


Thank you.

I like Osim

I like Ivica Osim, a new Japan coach. There are several reasons. First, I had hated Zico, a former Japan coach, thoroughly. 'Zico Japan', which means Japan team managed by Zico, seemed for me to be terribly a bad team.

Second, Osim seems to be philosopher. A philosopher can teach his pupils universal rules. A philosopher can advocate proper things to the public. I like philosophers. Therefore, I like Osim.

Finally, I have a confidence that Osim will finally get a tichet to the World Cup, which be held in South Africa in 2010. His understanding to soccer is unbelivable. His idea to soccer is excellent. And his enthusiasm to soccer is respectable.


I like Osim. And I would go to South Africa with him.

Isara, a climbing gym in Kichijouji

I went to a climbing gym, that's name is isara, in Kichijouji today. That was the second time to go there.

In Isara, there are several bouldering walls and one top roping wall. That is the smallest space I have ever seen.

However, since I can go there within only ten minutes and the fare is very reasonable, say, one thousand yen, Isara is very good place for me.

I would climb up these climbing walls at lease every week.


Thank you.

Alcohol

Since I swore I keep writing this blog everyday, I do it right now.

I have a thing that I have to tell you. On August 23th, I quit drinking completely. That is a memorable day as I be first able to quit drinking in my life.

To do that, I had read a book that be written about quiting drinking. The book's name is "EASY WAY TO CONTROL ALCOHOL", written by Allen Carr, a writer in England.


Anyway I can do whatever I imagine.
