Christmas Day

(an article dated December 24)

Today was Christmas Eve.

All of us (wife, son, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and me) ate chicken and a cake, and drunk a bottle of champagne.

It was good for us.

My son was given a present to his grand parents.

It was a tool to draw a picture. It was made by plastic and we could draw a picture on the screen again and again.

Sorry, it is difficult for me to describe the tool.

Uh, only my son benefited.

Children are good on Christmas Day.

Hot Spring

(an article dated December 21)

Today, we went to the hot spring in Hakone.

My son took the hot spring bath with me.

But he feared it and cried.

So we couldn’t relax in the bathroom.

I wish I could take the open-air bath.

Sano City Marathon 2

(an article dated December 14)

When my father-in-law was running on the road, we (my wife, my mother-in-law, my son, and I) went to Aeon in Sano.

My mother-in-law bought a jacket and a pair of pants for my son there.

I was deeply grateful to her for her kindness.

He seemed to be warm to wear these clothes.

It was very good for me.

Sano City Marathon 1

Make a Pendant 2

(an article dated December 13)

Anyway, I had to make a present for my wife.

So I changed my mind to make a pendant.

2 hours later, I had finished making it.

He (a friend of mine) had finished, too.

/////

The pendant made by me was heart-shaped.

The surface of it was soft and smooth, and glittering.

And the back of it was written "H → I," and "3."

"H" means my true name.

"I" means my wife's true name, too.

"3" means "we have been married for 3 years," or "this pendant is the 3rd wedding anniversary."

I felt wonderful to do it.

Make a Pendant 1

(an article dated December 13)

Today, I went to the jewelry school in Shibuya with a friend of mine.

I thought I would give my wife a silver ring made by me as a Christmas present.

But, when I attended the lecture, I was very surprised which I had to make on that day was a "pendant."

I was sure I would make a "ring."

Because I read some sentences that I could make it in HP of this school.

But it was not true.

This was a fine kettle of fish!

Busy Work

(an article dated December 12)

Today, I was busy with the work of my boss.

So my works may be delayed two days.

Oh no! Not again!

Mr. Hashimoto

Mr. Hashimoto who is the governor of Osaka Prefecture works hard in many respects.

He has been severely criticized for his administrative skill for its officials.

But I think that he's activity will be very good for Osaka Prefecture in the future.

I want him to keep on holding out after this.

Independent Administrative Organizations

Employment and Human Resources Development Organization of Japan will be abolished near future.

It is good.

Because independent administrative organizations work inefficiently, and they can't cut down on expenses.

Japanese government must pay national bonds, about 800 trillion yen.

It is necessary for Japanese government to restructure their organization.

A Compliment

My wife works harder every day.

I should follow her example.

Fight against Economic War

In Japan, economic condition is getting worse.

A lot of daily papers report poverty of Japanese, a job shortage, lay off, the national pension, and so on.

More than 50 years old people might be safe from some economic crises.

But others will be difficult economically.

I will fight against economic war, and protect my family from it.

New Business

I am starting new business now.

For the present, it is a secret.

I think that it would be a big business for me.

I cherish great hopes for the future of my new business.

I am better than before.

I am full of drive.

I've got going at last.

Meet a Friend of Mine

(an article dated December 7)

Today, I met a friend of mine in Chitose-karasuyama.

He took a class with me in a TOEIC school, 3 months ago.

Now, He and I are good friends.

I consulted with him about a English matter in a coffee shop.

We will enter Temple University next spring.

We'll stick it out!

An Academic Meeting

(an article dated December 6)

Today, I went to Meiji-gakuin University to take part in an academic meeting of accounting.

There were about 100 people there.

I could understand what professors told about disclosure, accounting standard, valuation of corporation.

I think that an approach to analysis of social science uses statistics recently.

So I must learn it in order to become a scholar in the future.

In the middle of the meeting, I listened to CDs of English conversation.

I could study it for a long time. It’s good for me.

12/05/2008

Lost My Motivation

My work isn't going at all well today.

I lack drive.

I don't understand why I have lost my motivation to work.

I think maybe I am tired.

Omusubito

I sometimes eat a rice ball after work.

My favorite shop is "Omusubito" in Akihabara.

Omusubito means the person making a rice ball.

(Omusubi is a rice ball, and bito(hito) is a person in Japanese.)

Today, I would like to eat it again.

I practice English conversation every day.

I think I am making gradual progress in it.

Crying My Son

I usually leave for my office at 8:00 am.

Then my son cries in a loud voice because of parting from me.

He wants to be with me.

I am happy to be liked by him.

But I want to be with him, too.

I will do business on my own work in the near future !

(an article dated November 30)

Today, my wife and I went to "Maxim's de Paris in Akasaka."

We ate lunch course in there.

There was a small amount, but I was satisfied with the dish.

Tired in Many Points

(an article dated November 29)
