rockin' pepsi
Have u seen a new commercial of Pepsi on TV yet?
I like those girls...Pink, Beyonce, and Britney. They've got good voice, characters, sense, ...

I guess vitamin C pills are not really helping me.
I can't stop coughing. sob sob.

Anyway, Friday Friday.

lazy chick...
Hey there.
Sorry I haven't updated my website such a long time.
It's a popular excuse but I've been kinda busy...my apology.

Since I came back from USA, I've been struggling with lots of documents...huge amount of patents. All of us are in a big trouble now. The worse thing is, we have no clue when it's gonna give us a break.

These days I really want to get a car. Well, I've been wishing to get one for long, but recently I really want to. I know it's impossible though. It's just my wish, u know. :) Wishing costs no money!

Know what type of car I want? I want a Mini Cooper. A brand new Mini cooper has improved in its spec, resistance, and reliablity, which has been a problem before. Now that BMW produces Mini, they are trustworthy as u know.
I gotta save money but it's really hard to save up enough to purchase that fancy car. :I
But someday I will get it definitely and drive wherever I want, listening to whatever I like...

I have a sore throat. I hope vitamin C pills will help me get better.

tadaima
I came back from Boston and NH yesterday.
It was such a long flight, but it was not as hard as I was worried. Though I couldn't get an isle seat on the way back...that was kinda hard. And the meals in the planes! They really killed me...how can people cook such...untasty thing..?

The business in NH was really...hard, to be honest. lol
Interpreting as a job is really really hard. I felt it with all my nerves. No wonder interperters earn 100,000yen per day!
You have to totally understand what one person says, and tell it simply and efficiently to the other person, on time.
You always have to concentrate on the conversation. Your nerves can't have a rest even a second, then you'll miss a word.

Anyways, I don't think I could be much of a help, but I guess I could help a little.

People in the company we visited were really sincere and kind. We could have big rib steaks and nice cold beer in NH. Yummy.
Also, the colleagues I went with were really nice. I went there with three colleagues, who are all older than I. Well, one boss was...kinda disappointing.., (shhh) but the other two engineers were really nice. They are kind, smart, and hard working - not like me!

I found out that the city of Boston was a little different from that I remembered. When I was taking a walk in downtown with my colleague late at night, I felt it a bit dangerous...I asked my friend living in Boston about it, then he said the crime rate is rising. Too bad...I hope Boston keeps its peaceful atmosphere.

I'm going to take a nap now. I couldn't really adjust myself to US time while I was there, so it's not hard to be back in Japanese time again.

I don't know what I'm writing about...nighty nite..

rainy Sunday
It's been raining almost all day today...
though I went to Yokohama again.

There were lots of ppl. I guess ppl were out for shopping something nice for their moms.
Me? I...couldn't get anything for her so far. I will get something nice for sure, but at least I gave her a phone call to thank for everything she has done to me.

I had only Sunday to rest this weekend...I should take one day break in this week, definitely.

back to the office
"...cuz a real man can't just deny a woman's worth..."by Alicia Keys. :) I like this song. Woman's Worth.

Anyway, I came back to Kanagawa on Wednesday!
The Airport was not that crowded despite my anticipation. I could reach home so smoothly as the trains I was supposed to get on came so good on time.

I brought from hom a flying disk which emits light in the dark to play with my colleagues! can't wait.

I was back home in Hyogo for GW. I met some good old friends and had such a fun fun time. I had good in Kobe, Osaka, and Kurakuen etc. I saw a new home of Yawara-chan and Tani senshu. It was big, but it looked so ordinary to me.
I also saw Fujiwara Norikas home too. It was nice.

I couldn't watch any movies during GW cuz the theatres were too crowded with ppl...it's crazy.

As 30th was my birthday, my friends in my company threw a party for me on the night before I went back to Hyogo. It was so much fun!!! We cooked good BBQ (expensive meat! mmm) and played PS2 until 3am.
They gave me such a sweet lovely card with their messeges in it. It was such a heartwarming present. :)

I gotta work on Saturday...weird system of our company...damn

warm day
It was so warm this weekend. I must have had sun-burned on my face a lot...freckles gonna be increased..:(

I went to Yokohama yesterday. It was fun. I think I'm eating Chinese at China town every weekend recently... I never get tired of it cuz it's soooo tasty. mmm.

Shinsengumi is so interesting. I love it. Choice of actors is just perfect!

long long time
Loooong time no see... such a long time has passed since I wrote the last time..

I was really busy, I mean it!
Let me explain.
First, I moved out of my house. Well, it's a room precisely.
I used to live with a roommate in a 3K room of a big apartment near the station.
I moved to another dorm to live all by myself. :) It's quite comfortable...now I feel like I am standing on my own feet. My own bathroom, kitchen, toilet... Privacy is so important for a man...maybe especially for a woman.
This new room is kinda big, although the closet is not big enought for all my clothes. It's extremely far from the station, but it's okay. Can't complain... Now I can go to the office in 3mins by bicycle.:)

As for my job, it's been so busy for the past couple of months, and still we are busy. And I guess we will keep being this busy... despite, I like this job. :) Today we got new displays which are huge! It's 17-inch displays I guess...somebody in charge thought a bigger display is better for translating. It doesn't really make anything easier actually...I have to move my eyes and a cursor more than before. Phew.

Anyways. It's a nice season huh? :) and lovely GW is coming soon! Yay. I am going back home in Hyogo as I always do. I can't wait... soon I will be 25...geez.

Here's another news. I'm going to Boston and New Hampshire for business in the middle of May. It's for purchasing ink-jet apparatuses and the purpose we are going there is for training so we know how to use them in Japan. Well, I'm not actually learning the process, but the other three engineers will. I was chosen as a translator during the term...which I don't know why. It seems my boss recommended me to other groups coz he's seen me doing translating job in CA and the exhibition in Yokohama as well. I'm sure there is someone better. :( I should tell him that some time.
I think I'm lucky to be chosen though. It's definitely gonna be a tough trip, but I gotta do what I gotta do.
The boss of another group who will go to the trip with me sent me a map of the motel we are to stay in Boston. It happened to be kinda close to where I used to live when I was studying in Boston! I hope I won't say "I am not going back to Japan".

pingpong
As I'm on a diet, I play pingpong as much as I can, I eat as little sweets as I can (?).
I can't lose my weight though...damn..

Gotta work out!!

I came home early tonite...what the hell is my bf doing now?!

hakone
I came back from Hakone a few hours ago. It was lots of fun and my friends(3 translators) and I got so relaxed...the hot sping was amazing. I ended up in enjoying the three hot springs four times at the ryokan we stayed at. Two of them were roten-buro. It was such a nice time to warm ourselves as long as we want and talk about subtle things... I could hardly sleep at night though.
I think I gotta take a nap after this. :)

My roommate is leaving in a few weeks. She happened to be lucky enough to be able to move to the newest dorm..because of her age, precisely.
I wish I could move out too cuz one of the new employees will move in this apartment in her place for sure. I hope she's a nice girl...

Anyway, I gotta work real hard again. We got a crazy amount of patents to be translated. I hope we all can stay sane until the end of April...

nothing to write about...
Hmm...I've got nothing special to write about.
On Sat. I went to Shinjuku and bought a white shirt. I like it but I want more "standard" shaped one also.:) A bit of shrinks and wrinkles woule be lovely too..

I skipped dinner tonite cuz I had a biiig lunch. I had a big sandwich of roasted beef, a cheesecake, and ice tea. There's a nice cafe at Omote-sando, which I go every month.

Gosh Monday is coming! I guess I'm uttering this phrase every weekend...how pathetic.
I've got lots of work to do. I should play pingpong as a break some time...
