blog - Go!

I decided to write down my daily activities on the Excel file. There are there sections now. First, working reaport section, where daily working reports are written to report to my supervisor. Second, today's actions and objectives section, which is a system for objective manegement. Third, challenge and long-term plans section, which is for my future.


Writing on something is always important. Never forget that there should be short-term and long-term ones.

blog - Most Important Thing in English Area

I thing the most important thing in the English Area is to write and write sentences in English. As I've written in this blog, at this stage what I need most is the trainning of writing actual English sentenses. I clearly understand that. More I write, better my English skills are. It's surely clear.

Even same sentenses or same contents, writing something makes my English skills better. It's through being familiar with English itself, and being aware of the new way of using English. It's very useful, it goes without saying though. Plus, I have to remember that I completely master prasal verbs through reading the textbook given by my English conversation school. That book seems good.

So, the time has come. The time I have to complete my English area has. Has come.

blog - To Mitake

We are planning to go to Mitake, the mecca of bouldering, in May. To do that, I will have to buy a bouldering mat, which costs more than 30,000 yen. However, as I have a plenty of money, I should buy it.

Bouldering outside is really important to level up the climbing ability, because the experience enrich their image of climbing and that makes their bodies sharp. Unless people know the outside, climbing at the high level is closed to impossible. It's self-evident.

And what I have to say here is that we seriously consider how many people will go there together. It means too much people is somewhat troublesome, and too less people is not useful, which means we can't rock-climb outside alone.


So, I have to decide how many peole will go.

blog - Chances to realize my dream

There are chances to go abroad to work abroad at my company. It means that the website has a recruit system that introduces various jobs, including American ones.

So, some day I will try to apply that one. I mean I will work in America in some years through my current company's job site, or something else. My destiny has settled firmly.


Thank you.

blog - Love Song

I love someone now. The love is extremely firmer than rocks, extremely surer than the God. I should be happy that this English blog is not read by anyone, because I can write truth freely on this blog. Yes, I'm loving it.

Let me see, the road have been long ever. I got troubled once, I got threatened before. I had not been a good man, I had not been an admirable person. Once I, however, really persued the thing, that I really love someone, that I am devoured with someone.

My this feeling have been continued. And it would continue from now on. What I can say surely is that I love singing a love song. Singing the love song to someone makes me strong, makes me enthusiastic, makes me more valuable. I would devote myself to that thing. I would sacrifice my life for her.


Anyway, this is my song.

blog - Nhl Things

I also have to mention Nhl things. That is a client name which I'm now working for, and is masked other alphabets for confidential matters too.

Nhl is a global company. It's in logistic industry. It's one of the most famous distribution company in the world. And, the system is very complicated and advanced. It bothered me at first, but I think I could catch up the knowledge and skills.

There are many documents written of course in English. And they are highly quality and strong. There was even a project charter document. I've only seen that on books before. That made me extensively excited. I thought I was in the real world, not fake world.

From now on, I continue working for the company as an IT consultant authorizing the RFP, say Request For Proposal. It's for the next system of the whole delivery and warehouse system for the certain client. This really makes me excited.


The time has come!

blog - Npro Thing

Npro is my new company name. Of course that is a fake name. I have to do that because publishing the real name on the Internet is said to be a incorrect manner. So, I mask the name with other alphabets :-)

Npro is a great company. It has more than 60,000 employees worldwide, and its revenue is over 2 billion dollars, as well as the level of software engineering is admirable. The last thing means that the company is qualified with CMMI Level 5, ISO, and so forth.

I've been working there since the day when I entered the company, well, there are several important findings from my perspective. First, I've known the truth of a global company for the first time. Second, I've known that working as a consultant is really wonderful for me for the first time too.

Of course, there are many other things that I found around the company and my job, even so, although that will be mentioned some day to record the precious matters, I have to stress that the experience at Npro was really great and will be really great.


I'm thinking I finish this writing any more today. It'll be of course continued.

movie - Death Note

That's boring! Several people recommended me to watch this movie, but my conclusion to this movie is this. What a boring, daunting movie this is!

Of course, as I said before, I like the story of Death Note. I read the all volume of the comic at the beginning of this year, and I was surprised at the perfection. However, how terrible the movie is.

Despite the disappointment, I can say that the main actor, Tatsuya Fujiwara, acting Light, is brilliant. He is one of the best actors in Japan, even I think. He perfectly play this difficult character in this movie, and this made me surprised.

The most disappointed thing is that the quality of this work was really low. It means that the shooting and the script were really dreadful. This means that, although I have to say, the director is not competent to direct this movie.

As I bring the other drawbacks of this film, that is that the father's actor was also terrible, and L was kind of good, but L should not have eaten chocolates during playing this role. I know of course the character in the comics does that, but it doesn't fit the movie.


The points for this movie are 2. (out of 10).

blog - I have to do in the English Area

The English Area is an area that I have to do to improve my English ability. You know, I've divided my whole tasks of my life into respective areas, such as Physical Area or Family Area. So, now let's mention something about the area.

I strongly feel that I have to facilitate business meetings in English in the really near future. I have to be supposed to have my English ability set on a business level. It means that I have to be able to speak and write English on business, not just use English.

So, I have to facilitate a meeting with my clients and my colleagues in English effectively, not just participating. To do that, it is clear that I have to speak English more fluently and more accurately as well as more formally. Plus, I have to encourage my people through effective communication, which is like I can do that in Japanese.


I am a bilingual IT consultant, so I have to be able to do that properly. That's surely right.

blog - Being As A Consultant (3rd Day)

I've been an IT consultant since yesterday. I am involved with my client as an IT consultant. I couldn't imagine that being as a consultant is such an exciting thing. More I act as a consultant, more I feel energy. It means that I really like high value. The job that a consultant do has high value.

At the client's office I now research the client's system and project. It's a kind of BPR project and the quarity is really high, which is too high to imagine before. I think "real consultants" were involved with the project and they created effective strategies on the warehouse management system.

I stayed at the office until 9 o'clock and thoroughly looked up the documents such as a project charter or a cost analysis document. It was really exciting time for me. I forgot that the time passed. It liked the time was stopping. In three weeks I will be a real consultant surely.


Thank you for the company.

blog - What I have to do on English world

Let's write down what I have to do to enhance my English abilities to the business level.

1. I have to be good at speech, which is, of course, Englsh speech on business.
2. I have to utilize English at any cases in business, from arranging business affairs through making appointments with clients through negotiating with colleagues in India.
3. Be familiar with phrasal verbs completey, because I am a professional.
4. Write and write on this blog and emails and business documents. And check and check my electronic dictionary until it's broken.
5. Speak a lot. I have to speak a lot deliberately, because I am quiet and modest and decent. However, I am a professional IT consultant so I have to do that.
6. Get over 950 points on the next TOEIC test, to prove my English skill.
7. Read and read English books, especially technical materials to enhance my English skills as well as my IT skills. Concurrently doing is one of good quarity of gread business person.
8. Today that's it.


That's it.

blog - Important word: ensure, enable.

I thought ensure and enable are very important words in business. It means these word appear many times and have powerful impact. So, let me use these words below.

I have to execute to ensure I am a professional. Um, not enough.

It enables me to do the job done more faster. Um, good.

It ensure that we communicate each other. Um, good?

I'll execute these strategies to ensure that my dream will be realized. Yeah, not bad.


That's it.

blog - Toward the next day

I will have two meeting with the client tomorrow. First one is with the client's team and second one is with the project manager about the agenda of the Request For Proposal.

The leader of my company side said that he would send template files of this RFP of my company until today, but the files don't arrive at me. It's too bad that it means that I can't prepare for tomorrow meeting in advance.

So, I will have to translate the template files to Japanese, because the client wants the RFP in Japanese. I'm not a traslator, but I will be a good translator tomorrow. It's my challenge, it's my a hope.

What I don't have to forget is that I am familiar with logistic matters. It means at the current situation I am a professional consultant for the logistic company. It also means, of course, I have to have a high skills on not only the business knowledge but also the system knowledge.

So, now I am looking up various web site related to the subjects, logistics and warehouse management system, and read those at loud to be familiar with those terms. Of course, it's for the tomorrow meeting with my client, because tomorrow maybe I have to speak about the next system in English to my client, although it's expected that it will be held in Japanese.

Anyway, what I have to do now is to sleep early and have good rest and make it tomorrow as a professional IT consultant. Yeah, it's my task, it's my challenge, it's my wish.


Thank you for all!

blog - Regarding Rock-Climbing

I have teached my ex-colleagues how to rock-climbing. The other day too I went to the T-Wall in Edogawabashi with them. They were 7 people all.

Two women had come. And they were really good at rock-climbing. It made me surprised, because prior to that women I took out to a rock gym were not good (I'm sorry!). So, I am expecting that they are really interested in rock-climbing and will be good rock-climber.




Every times diversity is good for the world, I think.

blog - The 2nd Day

The 2nd day at the new company was over. There were several surprised matters today. First, I had a meeting with the client suddenly, which means no preparation for the meeting, like an explanation to me.

Second, the Indian colleagues trusted me completely, so I will handle all matters with this client by myself from now on. It's welcome, but I was just surprised at that. The fact that the delay in obtaininig my company email address and business cards is becoming crucial.

Anyway, I'm still highly excited about the new environment. I mean I have a great opportunity to use English at the office and to do my job at the high level on business. Yeah, I'm an IT consultant completely. I can communicate with "real" business persons and draw up "real" business documents.


My 2nd day is over. And my 3rd day starts. It's really exciting.

blog - About the new company

I went to my new company today. It's located in Yokohama. It takes around half and an hour from my home to the office. The company is an Indian company. It's a global company, which has over 60,000 employees. Its sales is over 2 billion dollars a year. It's the seventh largest company of the world.

I'm proud to be a member of this company. The language which is spoken at meetings is, of course, English, so I'm really excited. I'm really excited about the opportunities to use English and to work in global environment. There are many kind of people and many culture. The level of the system is really high. The security code is really restrictive.

Tomorrow, I'm goint to a client in Shinagawa. The company is a logistics company in Japan. It's famous as 3PL worldwide. This assignment was really sudden, but I got really excited. It's because I prefer dynamism to peace. I want whatever makes me grow. Thank you for all. Thank you for this opportunity.


Thank you.

blog - I Went To Rock-climbing Today

Hey, I went to T-WALL in Edogawabashi with my friends, colleagues of my current company. They did rock-climbing for the first time, so I coached them carefully. I was not sure they had interests in rock-climbing, but the result was not bad.

We did bouldering, not route climbing. Bouldering doesn't require wearing rope and isn't dangerous relatively. I was thinking one of them was really talented on rock-climbing because of his physical ability I could observe.

As I expected, he did rock-climbing really well. He finally cleared the blue four. It's new record as a new comer. The other guys really fun this sport too. It made me enjoy that time. And it looked like that they decided to continue this sport from now on. So there will be some chances that we go rock-climbing together.


Yeah, rock-climbing is brilliant sport, as I said, you know.

blog - I Got A Key

Yeah, I got a key to be good at. I wrote an email to myself the other day. That said, "I believe I'll be extremly good at speaking English. And, I'll revolutionize software. This is definitely clear. Just recall myself."

As I'm gettiing better of speaking English, the computer world is closing to me. That is, the time is coming that I have to be familiar with various technologies and methods. It must look like I can figure out the points I have to recognize. For instance, I would like to get a sence of J2EE, or WebShphere.


I got a key. The key is exciting.

blog - Some things I have to

The following things are what I have to do in some days:

1. Organize speeches in English, one for my current company, one for the next company
2. Learn phrasal verbs. It's because I'm not good at phrasal verbs at all. I should recover.
3. Learn J2EE and WebSphere. It's really important for me now.
4. Learn to write business emails, reading a book written about business emails.
5. See an Indian movie in order to be familiar with Indian English. This is really important, too.
6. Make a declaration of love to that girl. This is really secret. The time of destiny has come.
7. Practice speaking English, using a trainning book written for speaking English.


That's it?

blog - Be Strong

Be strong, otherwise you will lose to yourself. If you are not apt to be strong, it's impossible that you can be strong. You should put up with whatever you face. There would be tough, sad, unconvinced things. But, you can do it.

Be strong, and you would be strong. You will be able to get it done easily. The more you struggle, the more you can do. You should believe your own ability, your own genius, your own sensibility. You live your own life, and you can be satisfied.


Be strong, no matter what there is.

blog - The Time Has Come

Hey everybody:

I'm going to organize my thoughts about next three months from now. In this three months I have to do the following things:

1. Boost up my language skills extremely
2. Cultivate my IT skills across various technologies
3. Level up my bouldering ability to the next grade
4. Keep searching an opportunity to know somebody else
5. Depict my ground plan that covers my whole life in this 100 years


Let's see each topic below:

1. Boost up my language skills extremely

I have to use English in my daily life. That is, at my new company I would communicate with my colleagues in English. I would write system specifications like database layouts in English. And I would email to Indian people living in India to inform some changes on the system.

For that, I have to do the following things: read some books, of course in English, do a textbook to speak English fluently, keep writing blogs in English, take lessons with Christie and at the English conversation school, do dictation of the drama "Friends", and, that's it.


2. Cultivate my IT skills across various technologies

As I've mentioned above, I have to read some books: 1. The World Is Flat, 2. Beginning J2EE 1.4, and 3. What's WebSphere. I'm thinking that in order to play an active part at the new company I have to finish reading these three books without fail. Especially J2EE is an essential technology when living in this industry. So, I should do that.


3. Level up my bouldering ability to the next grade

Yeah, this is important too in my life. This covers my physical area. This improves my other areas, like intelligent area or business area. And the next grade means 2nd grade in bouldering. 2nd grade is in advanced area, which means that only are advanced climbers in this grade. So, this is very tough.

However, I already decided to master rock-climbing, so I must go. And I'm thinking this challenge is not impossible, because I already get 3rd grade and my ability is improving little by little, day after day. Without my back's pain, everything is fine. (still after building up my back, this pain looks relieved.)


4. Keep searching an opportunity to know somebody else

Yeah, I'm already 32 years old. So, I have to find a chance to be involved in something. Um, I can't mention about this topic on this blog anymore.


5. Depict my ground plan that covers my whole life in this 100 years

This is very important. I should remember this. I mean, people should manage their short term goals or purposes, but at the same time people should manange long term dreams or tasks. So, I will never forget this very important principle, and I will keep depicting my long term vision in my life. I will want to keep this in my mind firmly.


The future is beginning.

translate - Fascinations of rock-climbing 2

- Simply fun

Well, rock-climbing is simply fun. It's because human beings feel that. If we believe Dawin's theory, revolution, human beings used to be monkey, right? And we release 11 monkeys to a rock gym. What's happend then? One would eat a banana, one would write down something, and other 9 monkeys would move from the wall to the wall.


- Can feel a sense of achievement

It's a feeling I felt when I began to rock-climbing, and a sense of achievement that we feel when finishing climbing is rare, right? Anyway, although it was a time I first can climb a route which is 12 or 13 meters, after that, I can feel a sense of achievement when I can climb more difficult route.


- Good exercise

We can exercise feeling fun. Jogging is good too. Weight-trainning is good too. However, there is no sport than rock-climbing that we can train ourselves, sharp our body lines, look new mascles, and let ourselves exercise, right? It makes us to stretch, too.


- Can enhance intelligence of body

This is important actually. To be honest, I wanted to list this topic above all. "Intelligence of body" is probably existing, right? It's on conceptual. Through this sport, we can increase the intelligence of body. Can't you imagine? Rock-climbing is really similar to ballet, actually. That's it.


- Can write it down on your resume

This is extremly personal opinion, so you can ignore this, but I think it's good that people have something unique, which can be the talk. Well, however, in the near future, rather, it might be far future, rock-climbing will be a very famous sport in Japan too, like a golf, so such a circumstance is rare actually, I insist.


- And harmony with nature, and a sense of solidarity

This topic force up this sport to a particular position. That is, this sport is done in nature. And there are risks that people lose their lives. And we usually enjoy this sport with friends, in the concentration and fulfillment, we can spend really solid time, I suppose.


Well, let's enjoy rock-climbing!

blog - The time is coming

I'll start working for the new company on April 16th. Only two weeks is left. The challenge is nearly started. I will have to learn new technologies, new methods, and new circumstances.

My energy is emerging. It's actually thanks to my personal tutor Christie. When talking with her today, I convinced that I can do that. After knowing that fact, I was convinced of something.


I will go to hanami tomorrow. I will say something to her some day.

translate - Fascinations of rock-climbing

I'll organize this below.

- Simply fun
- Can get a sense of achievement
- Good exercise
- Can enhance intelligence of body
- Can write it as a hobby on your resume
- And, harmony with nature, a sense of solidarity


Um, there are a lot than expected. It's the end, although I can write that more and more. Well, let's see each topics.


to be continued...

blog - I'm really tired

I'm really tired. I'm tired of the resignation matter, what I have to master English onto business level, or the marriage thing.

When I'm tired, my thought has been tired. That is really disgusting. My hope is really dwindling. My tasks are really losing focused.

My dream is supposed to be more clear. I would be more valuable person in order to contribute the world. I should be more energetic in order to make me more energetic.

I had even quit drinking. It was to be more efficient for my life. It should make my daily life more effective. I could get more time to study, more money to invest, and more power to climb hardest route.


My dream has gone, haven't it? No. It's impossible. My energy is coming more clearly, thanks.

translate - What I should do in this three months 2

Actually, the next project I'm involved is already decided, and it's known to me secretly that the technologies used on the project will be J2EE, one of the programming languages, and WebSphere, product suites by IBM. It's always hard to learn new technologies and new products, but I think that is really exciting for me. Yeah, it's the time that I can use Java in business.

My English will be naturally brushed up. It's because I use it in the daily life, I study hard for that, and that makes me go to the English conversation school at least once a week. Yeah, it's following my plan. About rock-climbing, my back's hurt is getting better, so I'll try to rock-climb at least two or three times a week, and I think I will be on the next level, 2nd grade.

Finally, I must remember the resolutions I made at the beginning of this year. There was a resolution, I write a book. Hence, I have to prepare for that in the next three months. That means I have to experience, or I actually start to write something. Yeah, I will have to mention this later soon. Plus, the gratitude means I will heartily think the following think when I change my circumstance; People help each other.


And I will say something thankful, "I'm sorry."

translate - What I should do in this three months

I'm writing these.

- The first three months is really important
- Master new and unknown technologies, like J2EE and WebSphere
- Brush up my English skills
- Go to one higher class on rock-climbing
- Prepare for the second half of this year
- Thank everyone I've ever met


That's it?

First, changing the company will be biggest event in the next quarter. A new company, a new working style, new colleagues, new bosses, new clients, and a new level quality. Everything will be dazzling new, and stimulable. Then, those will be aggressively embraced with active mindset, and taken in correctly and precisely. People say the first three months is very important. I grab at high speed, and challenge.


To be continued...


PS
Translating my own sentences is really good!

blog - Good Idea ..

It's a good idea to translate my blog in Japanese into English. It's because I must think from Japanese when speaking English, because I am Japanese. So, when something in Japanese come up to my mind, the best strategy is translating that into English efficiently. So, If I can quickly translate my thoughts in Japanese into English, it means I can speak English very well. It's near almost a native-speaker.


Yeah, let's start?

blog - I really have to ..

About English, I have to do the following things:

- Make speaking ability on business level
- Make vocabulary fruitful
- Make listening ability surely height
- Make me more valuable


I can't but do that.

blog - I hate ...

I hate my company. They are dishonest and dirty. I should have had a clear attitude, firm resolution to quit at the end of March. I was weak, I was coward. I should have showed resolute stance toward the company. I was careless, I was unguarded.

However, I'll forgive anything. I'll embrace everything. This experience makes me strong, really strong, extremly strong. I am a fighter, I am a champion. I knew about all the things, I knew about what's happening. I am a wise, I am a winner.

Everything is over. The next is coming. It's extremly close. Fun has been started. Great has started. It doesn't matter what I lose, the problem was what I believe. I was facing the danger, acute danger. But, the sky is blue, far from here.


Everything is okay, I'm saying.

blog - The time is settled

As I said, I quit my company, and will work for an indian company. I said this tons of times. But, the date I leave the company was not decided actually. There were some arguments between the company and me about the timing of my resignation, rather struggles and psychological warfare.

I was really nervous about that, and I pursued happy resignation. In short my company strongly requested me to postpone my resignation or to rethink about that. So, I'd felt obligation toward my company because of my almost ten years working-term, and I had a negotiation with my new company about the date of joining the company.

That long struggle, however, is over. I quit my job at the middle of April, say, April 13th. And I'll start working for the new company on April 16th. I feel gratitude for the desition of my current company (well, that's somewhat late though). Whatever, my sight in front of me is suddenly all clear. My energy soars again. My passion spurts from my heart and body again and again.


That's it. That's just the beginning.

blog - Latest News

Hey, long time no see. I'm now writing on this blog since last month.

Anyway, there are a lot of things this year on me. This year is becoming the most stimulative year of my life, as I expected. First of all, I got a new job. That job is a systems engineer in an Indian company! I'm working for a foreign-affiliated company using English every day! One of my dreams is realizing.

And surprisingly, that company offered me higher annual salary than expected. The amount is nearly 30 percent higher than current one. (Anyway, this is secret information). I can get expected environment, that I can use English in business, and good salary at the same time. I was really excited.

So, I decided to quit the job and will work for the company. At the end of January, I told my current company about this matter, say, I quit my job and move to the next company. Although this was one of my expectations, my boss was really upset about that. And he said that the company couldn't admit my resignation. Oh, he couldn't do that though.

As of today, I'm quitting my current job at the middle of April, and the next week of that I'll work for the new Indian company. Anyway, my new project on which I am assigned is already decided. The project is a project on which we build up e-commerce sites for a Japanese company. J2EE and WebSphere are used on that project. Those are really exciting for me.


The new era is already beginning!

blog - New Year's Assertion (6) Get married

This is just a joke, of course. To get married, generally, people have to find their girlfriends or boyfriends in advance. It's, however, needless to say.

Though, I am feeling about the future of like getting married. In the near future, I would be married to someone. It's like a definite fact, I guess.

I would marry someone, and I will make her and my family extreme happy. I can say that even now. I'm diligent, honest, and visionary. I can do what I can do.


Hey, I can do.

blog - New Year's Assertion (5) Change the job

Hey,

I'd have liked to change my job, because I wanted a new challenge. I was a dreamer, I was a man who lives by his spirits.

I started searching a new job from last December, and I found several good companies, and I decided my next company among them at the end of January.

I was happy, because the offer was pretty good for me, say, the annual pay is really good. Of course, I'm not living for money. It's completely true. It's for the challenge, or the global environment, rather than money.

I was nervous, because the new job required highly professional skills, and especially highly language skill, both of Japanese and English. I didn't use English on business. I didn't have a confidence of being able to use English appropriately on business.

Generally speaking, the level of business English is much higher than the level of the normal one. Especially, formal expressions are required in both conversation and documentation. I hardly have the experience so far.

I'm a little nervous, but really excited. It's because there will be a lot of opportunities to use English. I had prepared for this situation in advance through studying English thoroughly. The time has come. My challenging time has come. The curtain has been open, for me.


I'm really excited.

blog - New Year's Assertions (4) - Investment

I swore to get 100 million yen by investing last year. This goal continues to be this year too. To get this goal, I have to research various topics thoroughly.


Chinese stocks are really good. They already gain almost 10 million yen. However, my target is 100 million, so I must try new challenge. For instance, I have to buy Brazilian stocks.




This assertion will be realized in the near future without a lot of efforts, I think.


Thank you, yen.

blog - New Year's Assertions (3) - ROCK-CLIMBING

I decided to climb the route of the level 5.12a or 2nd grade. It's actually hard to get. One who can climb that route is said as an advanced climber.

I'm now goint to a rock gym three times a week. To accomplish this goal, however, this is not enough. In addition to keeping this custom, I have to do more special things. They would be like below.

- Cutting down my weight by at least 2kg, taking proper diet
- Swimming at least 300 meter a week
- Developing my muscles by doing exercises
- Doing stretching almost every day
- Concentrating and never giving up


Besides, making a party is also important.

blog - New Year's Assertions (3) - ENGLISH

The third assertion is to get the perfect score on the TOEIC test. I think that this will be relatively easy to accomplish. Of course, getting the score is very difficult for non-native of English, but I already swore that I spare no pains to do that.

For that, I have to improve my English ability thoroughly. I have to do whatever I consider. For instance, I have to be good at speaking and writing English, not only listening and reading. I can naturally speak English fluently like a native speaker. And I can write tons of sentences on this blog.

Hopefully, I'll get the grade in March. However, I will not do that in March, I would continue aiming the perfect. This is my way.


Thank you, English.

blog - New Year's Assertions (2)

I have to get the perfect score on the TOEIC test by March this year. I started to study English almost two years ago. It's about time I get the result. Well, let me plan to get this goal from now.

- Grand Strategy

First, I make my listening skills perfect. To do that, I have to do the dictation thoroughly. Now I'm dictating TOEIC materials at least three hours a day. Until March 25th, the day of the 129th TOEIC test, I need to continue this task. The more I dictate, higher the possibility of getting the pefect is.


- Output Strategy

Needless to say, getting the perfect requires the perfect output skills, that is speaking skills and writing skills. Of course, I know. So, I'm writing this blog almost every day and I'm taking Christie's lesson almost every week. However, to make these skills better, these actions that I take now are not enough. I need to do something more. I think it.


- Vocabulary and Grammar Strategy

To getting the perfect, I need to enrich my vocabulary and grammar more. It goes without saying. I'm meaning to read a vocabulary book again and review the grammatical book again. I have to make me know the words perfectly which are on TOEIC test. I have to make me solve the questions perfectly which are on TOEIC test.


I just do it.

blog - New Year's Assertions (1)

I made New Year's plans last week. From now, I'm inclined to describe those.

1. Writing a book
2. Getting the perfect on TOEIC
3. Rock-climbing on 5.12a or grade 2
4. Making a million dollar by investing
5. Enriching working experience (Changing a job)
6. Getting married or getting a girlfriend


First, I'm meaning to mension the first assertion. I had been wondering to write my own book since a college student. I once was a poet. I once was an enthusiast of love. I wrote tons of letters to my lover. I read tons of books on various topics.

After working, I continued to keep my diary too. My thought went from here to there. My uniqueness was demonstrated. Plus, I liked to write emails on business. I wrote tons of emails. Those were mainly strategic assumptions. I was a strategist.

My dream of being a writer some day is realizing now. I am realizing my dream now. I accomplished to get English skills by getting a high score on the TOEIC test. I accomplished to make a money by investing too. It means that I can write something.

Writing something makes you having clear thought towards the subject. For example, writing how to work well makes you a better worker. That is, in the process of writing you get various knowledge and systematic thought. That makes you valuable.

I'm going to write my book in Japanese, but someday I write the ones in English too. At that time, my English skills is extraordinary high, I suppose. And, the first subject would be kind of an autobiography. I would write about my life, my thought, my methods, my dream, and so forth.


My dreams are surly realizing.

blog - Christie's two-hour-lesson

I took Christie's two-hour-lesson of English today. It was mainly comprised of free conversation. And she pointed my grammatical errors in conversation. That was very valuable for enhancing my speaking ability.

I can take this two-hour-lesson this time as a consequence of a student, who take her lessons after me, have been on vacation, but I'm meaning to take this type of lesson from now on if there is a chance.

I'm serious about increasing my English ability, especially speaking skills. To do that, I can get rid of the others, even the time of love. It's my life. It's the way that I live on. I would be concentrating on boosting my English skills.


Thank you all.

blog - Thesaurus

New Oxford Thesaurus of English is very valuable to me. This dictionary is contained in my electric dictionary. I found this fact only a month ago. Before that, I had not known that. It was too bad. That is, this dictionary can enhance my writing skills effectively.

Depending on this dictionary too much is, of course, bad, but using this dictionary with good mannars gives me numerous treasures. To write sophisticated passage, one of the most important things is to avoid using same words on end, you know. And to do that, using a thesaurus is the best solution.

At the same time, I can enhance my vocabulary efficiently. For instance, looking up the synonym of "sophisticated" brings me the knowledge of how to using "advanced", "highly developed", and "elaborate". This makes me better at English.


Thank you, again.

blog - Death Note 2 (Having a confidance)

I've noticed the fact: the most important thing of what I gained as a result of reading Death Note is having confidence. That means that Light, a main character in this story, has a totally strong confidence in himself and this fact gives me a perspective. That perspective is that one who have a confidence in himself can do everything he can imagine.

This is very important. By the way, I'm now reading a book concerning coaching. This book says the same thing. That is, being confident of himself means expanding his comfort zone and lifting his limit that he made before. Light and L are good example of this. Especially, Light is extraordinary. He get lost his own memory to overcome his rival, and he has a perfect confidence in doing that. So, the history was changed.

Being too confidant is of course dangerous, but having a confidance is very valuable for everyone. For instance, for me, if I have enough confidant in myself, I can do the following: getting the perfect score in TOEIC test easily, making one million dollar straight away, and rock-climbing on the hard way straitforwardly.


Thank you.

blog - Compound sentence

This morning I found my weakness in listening to English. That is, I can't catch a compound sentence once. "Compound sentence" is, of course, the sentence consisting of more than two single sentence. Listening complex compound sentence requires two things: memorizing the first sentence, and listening to the second sentence.

Memorizing the first sentence is more difficult than I expected. I'm now using a TOEIC material that is for advanced learners of English. And that book made me found that fact. I couldn't hear the question that contains a compound sentence. I was stuck in understanding the first sentence, and I couldn't listen to the second sentence well.

However, I found this fact this morning, so I can do that. Most important thing is not being stuck in the first sentence and concentrating the tape playing now. This is very important. And this requires the quickness of thinking more and more. I'm now aware of this fact, so I'm confidant of getting a job. I'm confidant of getting over 930 points on the next TOEIC test.


Thank you.

blog - Death Note

Do you know "Death Note"? It's a Japanese comic title. It depicts a note, which is a central topic of this work, the Death Note, and a psychological warfare between main characters. When I read this cartoon at my parent's house in the New Year's vacation (I bought all works in 12 volumns), I was really excited at this fascinating story.

Well, I'm already 31 years old. However, the good work is the good work forever, and whatever. Even manga is often a masterpiece. It's not matters that its form is. So, I'm going to mension what I obtained from this work from now.

The first thing that I have to say about this work is that this work is brilliant suspense, like a hollywood movie, say, "The Silence of the Lambs" or "Matrix". There are some unrealistic Death, who live in Hell, but the reality is enough.

Besides, I was entirely impressed with the intelligence of the heros, that is, Light and L. They are totally insightful and sharp. They think deeply and futuristically. The most important thing that I was affected is that I can do that too. I thought I venture with my intelligence. My possibility is not limited.


Thank you, death note.

blog - The Office

I have to write about "The Office" seriously.

The fascinating points, the negative impact to me, and so on.

blog - "Second Thought"

I'll claim that the importance of "Second Thought" soon. "Second Thought" is brashing up the first thought and is required to be systematize.


This is a memo.

Business - Q&A "Why do you want to work for this company?"

Q. Why do you want to work for this company?

A. This is because I want to try something challenge. Your company is the best company in the world. I am eager to enhance my ability in your company. I need a workplace that is suitable for me.

First of all, I want to use English.



Damn it!

Business - Questions

I write some questions that I have to answer. This is to improve my English ability and to get a job. So, let's go.

- Why do you want to work for this company?
- What do you think is the most important skills/characteristics for this position?
- What made you decide to choose your major in Economics?
- Why are you going to leave your current job?
- What are your strong/weak points?
- What is your greatest achievement?
- What are your career plans?
- How have you resolved difficult problems in the past?
- How do you manage your time on a day?
- Describe the best boss that you ever had?
- How do you manage your workday?
- Are you willing to work overtime?
- Tell me what leadership is?
- What are you interested in outside working?
- What do you do in your spare time?
- Are you married?
- How much salary do you want?


Let me answer these questions from now!

Physical - Rock-Climbing

I'm now crazy about rock-climbing. I've been rock-climbing two or three times a week. Now my grade is 4th in bouldering, 5.11a in lead climbing.

My goal in this area is to climb Yosemite in two years. To do that, I have to build my body up, exercise every day, and take a proper diet to loose weight.

I'm 31 years old now. My life is limited. My time is dwindling. So, I must do.


I must go.

Business - Searching for a job

To tell the truth, I'm searching for a new job. I'm thinking to want to get a job which is done abroad. Directly, I want to use English on business to enhance my basic abilities.

Working abroad is one of my dreams. Speaking several languages, I handle tough matters on various situations on business. I had a dream, which is shinning on a continental.

I'm kind of tired of my current job. It's not bad, rather better than most of other jobs. I have a plenty of pay, good relationship, and suitable workspace.


However, I must go.

Beijing - Confucius

(A statue at the palace of Confucius)

Confucius is very famous in Japan. He apears in various situation, such as books of business, or textbooks in school. His wisdom is often talked in people. The living of diligent, modesty, and strenuous.

He used to say, "The man in his thirties has to accomplish something. And the man in his forties has not to doubt." This word made me surprised, when I read this in a book. It's because I used to consider my thirties as like something fuzzy, but this word let me really awake.


I'll stand vigorously in front of my live. Living my life, accomplishing something.

Beijing - The Beer

I drunk beer in Beijing twice, although I had been quitting drinking entirely. There were some reasons. First, it looked like that I had to order a kind of beer. Generally speaking, people in a restaurant often order some alcohol.

Second, remenber that this trip's purpose was researching, not for sightseeing. So, at the proper restaurant I had to order beer for research. Researching the sales of beer or something is always important in the researching trip.

Finally, I had loved China. So, I had to drink beer. That means that ordering beer costs more money. Spending more money is valuable for the local economy. Booming the economy is that China will be a more wonderful country. It makes me happy.


That's all.

English - In the TOEIC test

I got 895 points in the last TOEIC test. The score is not bad generally. However, my target score was over 900 points, as I had mentioned over and over again. So, I was a little disappointed when I saw the result.

But, to tell the truth, I was truly glad to get the grade. It's because the grade was my highest score and was 60 points higher than the last one. I had been fairly afraid that I got the lower score than the last one.

By the way, my journey is just beginning. I should struggle to enhance my English skills from now on too. In March, I would get the nearly 990 points and be very pleased to get my goal. And, and, and, , , I'll do something. I'll do something.


Thank you. Good night.

Beijing - Chinese women

To tell the truth, I liked Chinese women in Beijing. They were really pretty and look like pure. For instance, at the souvenir shop I had a nice conversation with them. As well as at the hotel, the ladies were really smart.

To tell the truth again, I liked Chinese people. That is, it's because they looked like diligent and having dreams. They had something Japanese don't have. Their eyes were shining and clear. Especially, the women's emotion was very impressive.


I'll come back again. To see them, to meet them.

Beijing - Continental

I felt "continental" in China. Of course, China lies Eurasia, the huge continent. That I was swallowed up by the waves of people in buses made me felt "continental". That I was in the suburbs in Beijing and felt the sunset made me thinking a lot.

China was great, in terms of its scale. There were a lot of people, a lot of cars, and a lot of buildings. Rather, there was something big. I saw this as a continental life. Yes. I felt that I should send a continental life, not a small life. I thought that I should think big, or speak three different language.

I have to live as a continent. I have to live like something big. I have not to get the details. I have not to fall into a pit. I should be eager to concentrate into my life. My life deserves continental.


I am not satisified with my life, amn't I?

Beijing - Speaking English

I had fairly speaked English in China. Before leaving for China, I had heard of that I couldn't use English in China because most of Chinese don't speak English. So, I had given up practicing English in China in advance.

Contrary the expectation, I could fortunately speak English in China. Such as at the hotels, at the airport, and at the stores. Although at the last trip to NYC and London I used the textbook of the travel conversation of English, this time I could fluently speak English without the books. This made me more confidant.

That I can speak English is a passport to communicate with the world. It's extraordinary valuable. Several years ago I couldn't completely hava a good command of English. Not at all. I wasn't able to write even a sentence, and speak even a conversation. It made me frastrated.

However, through the struggle with English, I can do these little by little. I got the good score in exams. I had started the lessons with native speakers. The more important thing is that I become to be able to travel all around the world. It makes me widen.


In summary, it's good that I've studied English.

Beijing - The buses

Of course, buses were running in the city of Beijing. I thought the bus system of Beijing was good. It means that the fare was extraordinarily reasonable and the number of the running bus was many.

People in Beijing really often ride the buses. The buses run throughout the city surprisingly. Plus, the bus is cleaner that expected in advance.

I rode the buses several times. Riding the bus is one of the wonderful memories in Beijing. I could see the people in the bus and could know the life of the people.

The best way of knowing the nation and people is, I think, riding buses. The bus reflects public lifestyle and the level of their life. This is an important thing.


Anyway, I ride the train too.

Beijing - KFC

One of the most surprised things was there were really many KFC stores. KFC was much more than even McDornald's or StarBucks. Chinese like the chicken, don't they?

I ate the chicken, by the way, but it was not delicious, I think. That chicken was smaller than the Japanese one. However, there were a lot of Chinese in the stores.

Anyway, mainly young people like the fast food shops, as Japanese. The stores are clean and have standard. We are relieved with the factors.


By the way, I used to be a vegetarian. Where am I?

China - The toilet

People say that the toilets in China are extraordinary dirty. For instance, there are no partition between the bowls, or there are pigs that have the flowing something. My father used to travel China and said that the toilets were foul too.

One of the purposes in traveling China this time is to research how dirty the toilet is. This is almost a joke, but somewhat serious. It is true that the toilets reflect the nation's cilivization degree.

Anyway, I had looked up the toilets in Beijing, and I was really surprised. The toilets were surely clean. There were the toilets with fine facilities and good cleanness. I was very comfortable about relieving myself.


Finally, the toilets in China are becoming really clean.

China - Beijing

Let me introduce Beijing even in this English blog.

I had been to Beijing for five days, from Dec. 1st to Dec. 5th. It was really fantastic. I saw real China, the truth of communism, and the mentalities of Chinese. It was really instrumental in understanding the world. Adding to that, I had been preoccupied with the concept of "continental".

Now is late, so I'll describe that in this blog tomorrow. I promise that.


Thank you.

I should write something

I should write something in this blog in order to make my writing ability enhance. During the daytime I mainly study English grammar these days. Doing the dictation is held in the morning. So, what I have to do at night is writing English.

Writing proper and sophisticated English sentences is challenging. I have to learn tons of idiom, various phrases, and difficult syntaxes. I would have to proceed little by little certainly.

I have a dream. The dream is far from now standing. However, I cannot help trying that. It's my fate.


Thank you.

How wonderful China is!

Hi everyone,

I had been to China, Beijing for five days, from Dec 1st to 5th. I was really excited and impressed. I was wondering that which constitution between Japan and China is better, what image the 20-year-later China has, how I get along with Chinese people, and so on.

I got a fever. The fever was like a dream. A couple years later I'll be speaking three different languages and make a conversation with three different people. I had had a image of "continental" for China, Chinese, or the future me. I would be a "continental" person in my thirties.

Traveling around the world is really all good. What I saw in China makes me driving crazy. I would drive my car like a crazy. My target had been settled completely. What I have to do next is "just do it". Just do it with this new experience. The China was really great.


Thank you.

The 127th TOEIC test is over

I took the test yesterday. My feeling to the test was not bad. I think I'll get nearly 900 points.

However, I am not at the level of getting above 900 points. That means I maybe get 900 points but my ability doesn't deserve that. I have to strive much more.

To be specific, I have to do the following things for the next test:

1. Strengthening grammar ability
2. Enriching my vocabulary
3. Reading a tons books
4. Dictating again
5. Writing more sophisticated sentences
6. Speaking more fluently, more fluently


I now describing the details below.

1. Strengthening grammar ability

I am reading the book that I used to read for studying grammar. This book is good for me. Then I'll completely master this book and I have to complete my grammar skills.

This is scheduled for 11/27/2006 to 12/10/2006.


2. Enriching my vocabulary

Let me see, how can I do that? What should I do for my vocabulary? The vocabulary book for natives was too difficult for me. Whereas the book written by Japanese is not sutable for me. In conclusion, I have to make my own vacabulary book step by step.


3. Reading a tons books

For Part 5, I have to read various books. Above all, I am thinking to read "Catcher in the Rye" soon. Reading a tons books makes me more tough for English, I guess.


4. Dictating again

Approaching the next test, I'll begin dictating English using the TOEIC materials again. The dictation is really valuable for me. And to get above 900 points, it is necessary.


5. Writing more sophisticated sentences

I try this.


6. Speaking more fluently, more fluently

I try this with my tutor, Christie.


Thank you. Good night.

The day after tomorrow

The day after tomorrow is the day at which I have to really do my best. The Toeic Test will be held. I have been eager to dictate English senteces using Toeic materials. I started dictating about four weeks ago. On average I've done it for three hours a day. I now make some mistakes in dictation, but it looks like I graduate to be better.

If I can't get above 900 points, I think I won't be disappointed. It's because I am really doing my best. And I am going to continue to do my best.


Thank you.

Dreams

I have a pen on this blog for a long time. I've really been eager to dictate English recently. November 26th, the day I'll exert all my energy, is coming.

After that day, I would start writing English thoroughly. It's to communicate properly with foreign people. I am going to dive into the new sea. It's a paradise. It's a dreamy plase.

I can't wait any more. I can't wait to get my proper place and give my all energy to them. And finally I will meet a person, who is with red string. She is with a bluebird, happy bluebird.


I look forward to looking for.

Business Diary - Monday, October 30th

Business Diary - 10/30

I have to write documents today for my new client, especially a document of the schedule. After that, I would have to get home earlier than the other days, because I am really tired today. What I have to do is to dictate English sentences constantly. Therefore I would write English sentences down this evening too.


The time is coming.

Thank you.

Last Week and This Week

I had my hair cut short today. I felt new motivation due to that. Do you think this is not true? Yes, I lied. My new week start with my resolution.


I dictate English sentences today too. I am a dictateing machine, amn't I?

Thank you,

Business Diary - 10/26

Yesterday:

I could climb the route which I had never climbed. It was a fantastic experience. There was namely steep rock, and normal people couldn't climb on. I got it.


Today:

I have two meetings today. The first one is the meeting of the system for my new client, Futab- Railway Industrial Corp. The second one is the meeting for comfirmation of the progress of the analisis to the client, Hor- Engineering Inc. And tomorrow is the day which I'll attend the training course concerning the facilitation.


I'd make today the good day.

Business Diary - Wednesday, October 25th

Today, I have to test the application which is namely ITGenka. The test cases of today are following: the workflow system works correctly on preorder area, the interface between the project management system and the accounting system, R model of Obic7, is appropriate considering the transaction integration.

Yesterday, I had to this system too. That progress seems no problem for me. Anyway, this system must be released on the end of this month.

After the work is over, I would go rock-climbing at Isara, my favarite rock-gym. Then, I'll end today's job by five thirty.


Thank you,

The Old Man and the Sea

I bought "The Old Man and the Sea", which is a very famous book, needless to say. The reason why I bought that is to make my writing skill improve. Generally speaking, the writing skill of people depends on the amount of books which they'd read. People meet a new word or a new expression for the first time, then they take in that to themselves.

I would read this book carefully making sure that the expression is available for me or the words are useful for me. After that, I can write proper sentences at last. I would finally get the goal of studying English. My journey don't have a goal, but when I end the journey, I would be with the blue bird.


With literary works I find myself.

Dectation

I started to do the dectation, which is a famous practise of studying English, last week. I need to improve my English ability thoroughly. I need a drastic change to get above 900 points on the TOEIC TEST. My time is dwindling. My dream is just broken.

After last week I am concentrating the dictation extraordinarily. What I have to do is only the dectation. As a child, I am enjoying the game, dectation.

If this situation continues for a long time, about one month, my English skill would be boosted up the place where I never imagined before.


My mission appears to be clear.

Thank you,

This Saturday

I have to go work on this Saturday. Actually, that is not work, training. The content is "Efficient Facilitation". The most interesting thing is that course will be held by a teacher who is American. He is also a MBA holder. He can speak both English and Japanese fluently, the Personel Department said.

My precious holiday is gone, but the other valuable time comes.


Thank you,

Mizonokuchi

I went to the fitness center in Mizonokuchi to rock-climb. I rock-climb two days in a row. That is the first experience of mine. That is, I wondered climbing in a row would make my body thoroughly tired. Although my body sores now, I on the whole am good.

Then, I would rock-climb three times a week from now. That's my task on my physical area.


Thank you,

iPod was broken

My iPod broke today. When I was on the train home, exercising the dictation, my iPod suddenly broke. I was really shocking, because that meat I could not continue dictating English. My time to the goal is becoming short.

What's happened? My iPod recovered from the trouble. It works. I think that that trouble came from merely shortage of the battery. I can use it tomorrow too. My luck is booming up.


Thank you,

English Lesson

I have taken lessons of speaking English. I contacted my tutor directly about one month ago. My tutor's name is Christie. She is a good person and good at speaking Japanese. We meet on Saturdays almost every week. A hour lesson is held.

The content is mainly free conversation. About what I do this week, my progress of studying English, and so on, we usually talk. And About grammar, pronounciation, and vocabulary, I ask her. We had taken lessons four times so far. That's really useful for me.

Today, I took her lesson. Regrettably, I couldn't speak English well, because I was disappointed by getting bad score of the last Toeic Test. I am, however, getting light of improving my English ability through hard work. What I have to do now is only one thing: concentrate on studying English.


Thank you,

North Japan Alps

I went to the North Japan Alps to climb a mountain with my colleages. I rode on the train at 17:00 on Saturday, October 7th from the Shinjuku Station. Arriving at the Matsumoto Station, I joined other members at an Izakaya and drunk a glass of beer, going to my hotel and sleeping in my bed.

We got up the next day at around 3:45. After that, we left the hotel for the entrance of the mountain which we were goint to climb. At 6:30, I started to climb the mountain in the slight rain. I had to buy a raincoat at the shop.

Climbing mountains is really fan. The steeper the slope of mountains, The more I enjoy. the bigger my legs feel a load, The more I enjoy. I really like strenuous sports.


Thanks God.

vs Ghana

I went to Nissan Stadium on last Wednesday with my little brother. Regretably, Japan team lost to Ghana 0-1. Since the ticket is 7,000 yen, the place of our seats was very good.

Plus, I weared the Japan uniform which I bought when the World Cup in German held. That day's game was not perfectly good, but I would go to a stadium when Japan team have a game.


Thank you.

How my destiny moved on

Now I mention destiny which I met today and yesterday.


I am sleepy, amn't I?

I'll go see a soccer game

I bought tichets of the football game in which Japan face Ghana tomorrow. The thing is, I had slight hope that I can go with someone girl together. However, reality is bitter. I would go there with my young brother alongside sadness.

However, I am seriously looking forward to seeing that game. As I had mentioned, I am a crazy fan of the Japan new coach Osim. And I haven't seen a game at a studium but on TV for a long time. Tomorrow would become a fantastic day, isn't it?


Thank you.

Piano

I am planning to learn playing a piano. Music is the last area that I would have to do in my life. Playing a piano, singing a song, and dancing a dance are the remainder of tasks that I have to do in my life.

People say music makes people happy. People say enjoying music is one of the most fantastic things of life. I thing so, too.


Then, when I have nothing to have to do concerning English, I would start to learn playing a piano. And finally, I would be I.

Thank you.

What I feel today

Last week I didn't have good days. I couldn't speak English fruently during the English lesson. I couldn't study English or something over the weekend. I couldn't have a positive perspective on my life.

These are because, probably, I was very tired. I was too tired to be able to think. I had kept rock-climbing twice a week. I had kept studying English or something all day and every day. I had kept my tension high.

Now I, however, feel my power. I can do anything. My direction is not wrong. My road to the goal keeps right track. I would complete my tasks as early as possible. I would be a greater man than I expected. The time comes.


The time comes.

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.
