In these days, I had just read books. Other than that, I've had nothing to do.
Yesterday, I borrow a book written in Haruki Murakami from a library and I'm enjoying his book after a long interval.
There're plenty of books I'd like to meet, but I need to keep distance from specialized books for a while. Yes, novels suit me now!
August is gone, and welcome a nostalgic season.

Feeling Autumn for a while
In these days, the temperature suddenly downs to under 30 °C. And today, it was heavy rain in the morning. So transportation in my prefecture was not working and some places were chaotic.
At the night, all gone and silent. While drinking DITA with orange juice at outside of my house, I was feeling melancholy.
It'll be over 30 °C tomorrow. Welcome back, Summer!

Enthusiastic
This week in Japan, we could watch a TV program named "Sense of Sound" which a music teacher made a movement in a local secondary school. It was broadcasted at BBC2 in 2007.
At the beginning of watching the program, I just wanted to practise listening skill and I didn't keen on chorus. However, the more knowing students' effort and growth, the teacher's hardship, and group dynamics, the more I got into.
Especially, when I knew the saddest story that one of youngest chorus members had Hodgkin's disease, it struck me. He was just 13-year-old at the moment, but he got a cancer in last Christmas. Although all sports and activities he wanted were restricted, he was really tough and a positive thinker. Only singing a song was allowed for him and he enjoyed it. I was inspired a lot by his mentality and I considered what my life is.
This story reminded me of the life in the university hospital I used to work in Japan. I have remembered that most leukemia patients were young age. Having the disease was not their faults, but they had to fight against it. That was the hardest part for me to see young innocent patients suffered from it.
I am not a doctor and clever. However, I believe that there is something I can do for them.
I'm gonna take action!

iPod touch 5!?
In these days, I was struggling to buy a smartphone. However, it came to be unnecessary in the end.
I just want to use it as a mp3 player and small PC and I don't need the telephone function.
Yesterday, it was occured to me that iPod touch suits me! I searched it at the drop of a hat and I caught a new release rumor in September.
I will keep my eyes out.

I'm an amateure pianist!!!
When I went to an electric shop today, I met a few foreigners. Soon I asked them about their home countries and I knew that they are all English teachers who came to Japan using "Jet Project".
One of them was playing Piano at the electric shop. I was really inspired and I decided to upload my video on my weblog.
Practically, I must need more practice, but it was not bad as the first step.

Half A Year and The 66th Anniversary of War's End
Today, just half a year has passed since I came back to Japan.
I have not been able to get used to Japanese culture and I only knew the rule. In fact, it is more than enough for me to have comparisons between Japan and England. I am so happy that I became the one who is able to have a choice. No one can criticise my future anymore.
Through living in Japan, I must think about deteriorating of my English skill. Because I believe that the ability in English depends on how much hard you study it.
Largely, I am lack of effort.
On the other hand, I have read lots of books more than I expected and I am also keeping a reading diary. Seising knowledge and wisdom from books is that I can spend my time wisely.
Knowledge is Power!
今年は「療養の期間」としているため、時間があるときは市立図書館で勉強したり、面白い本を探して空いた時間を「Input」に充てている。ある時偶然に、竹村健一の『例外的日本人』という本を見つけた。何人かの若い活動家と著者である竹村健一さんとの対談が本になっているだけのものだけれど、その中に「若き日の野口健」さんがいた。
その本の中で唯一知っているということもあり、野口健さんの本を何冊か読んだ。アルピニストだけだと思っていたけれど、僕の知識が浅はかなだけで清掃活動家・遺骨収集活動等、「Noblesse Oblige」の人で、近い世代で尊敬できる人だと知った。
先日彼の著書「それでも僕は「現場」に行く」を読み終わり、その中に出てくる「見ることは知ること。知ることは同時に背負うこと」には、僕も同意見だ。
僕はもう30近い年齢だけれど、若者に向けて書かれた「確かに生きる～10代へのメッセージ～」という同じく野口健さんの著書から、印象に残った文章を載せて終わりにしたいと思います。今日はちょうど終戦記念日でもあり、旧日本軍戦没者の遺骨調査・収集活動をしている彼の本から言葉を借りるのはいい機会ではないでしょうか。
以下の文章は、世界的な冒険家・植村直己さんがマッキンリーで消息を絶つ直前にミネソタの野外学校で子供たちに話した言葉だそうです。
君たちに僕の考えを話そう。
僕らが子どもの頃、目に映る世界は新鮮で、すべてが新しかった。
やりたい事は何でもできた。
ところが年をとってくると疲れてくる。
人々は諦めみんな落ち着いてしまう。
世界の美しさを見ようとしなくなってしまう。
大部分の人は、夢を失っていくんだよ。
でも、僕はいつまでも子どもの心を
失わずにこの世に生きようと思う。
不思議なもの、すべての美しいものを見るためにも・・・
いいかい、君たちはやろうと思えば何でもできる。
僕と別れた後もその事を思い出してほしい。
やろうと思えば何でもできるんだ。

Prestigious!!!
I came home from Kobe yesterday and I had a good short trip.
ESP, the Sushi (Photo below) were the best taste I've ever had!
Left : Conger. It was melted in my mouth.
Right : Prawn with Sudachi (kind of citrus)
The combination of taste was amazing!

Congratulations national Football team!
I watched the football match Japan vs KFC yesterday. Japan defeated 3-0 and it was great victory. I feel so good!
Today, I'm seeing my friends in Kobe in 3 years. It's also gonna be great!
Have a nice お盆(Obon) vacation!
This has definitely been the UK national anthem for the last 3 days

London's Burning
My friend told me the situation of riot in Tottenham. Bastards just broke everything and stole TVs, PCs and clothes etc...
Is it worth a try to live in the UK if I can work as a medical staff?
Absolutely, I am be able to say Yes. I think that working in England is just the first step of my future plan and my goal as a medical staff is to work in the United State. I just want to make a career and practise English.
If not, I'll work in Columbia as JICA staff.
It's a cool university students' music video! Sunday=Sundae!

The capability of dealing with different environment
During summer in Europe except for Portugal and Spain, they do not need Air Conditioner because of the dry weather. I had got used to that life style and I spent times in park after school for relax when I was in LDN.
In Japan, however, the temperature is over 30 degree C and very humid in these days. What is more, there are plenty of cold rooms everywhere. Unfortunately, it seems that my body rejects cold wind from Air Conditioner and I do not know how many times I did get diarrhea because of this.
Now I have headache and I might be getting summer cold again.
I would like to run away to LDN in the period of Japanese summer.
I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life.

OMG! What happened in Tottenham!?
It's quite close to the place I used to live in LDN.

New PC!
I set up two PCs yesterday.
I came to be able to keep my weblog up! It means that writing practice has restarted.
I got a message from a landlady in LDN and it is said that a new assessment of Radiographer license in the UK will be taken two months. I can wait for the result!
When there darkness, I'll shine a light
And mirrors of success reflect in me
I saw the light
At the end of a tunnel
Believe in the pot of gold
At the end of the rainbow
And faith was right there
To pull me through, yeah
Used to be locked doors
Now I can just walk on through

Still having a bad year, but it's gonna be a great in 2012!
I'm being surrounded by countless unluck in 2011 . Everytime I experience uncontrollable situations even if I pay attention a lot. I wish I could look for many my advantages from the nightmare lives and seize chances in 2012.
This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill, fifty percent concentrated power of will, five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain, and a hundred percent reason to remember the name!
