一年

一年前の俺は何をしていたんだろうか。
そう、ちょうど今頃憧れのニューヨークに着いたころだ。
バンクーバーを出発したのが１０月２日。
カナダ旅行を終えてニューヨーク到着が１０月２０日。

そして、一年経過。

信じられないなぁ。
あの頃は今の俺がどこで何をしているかも想像もつかなかった。
懐かしいな。

バンクーバーでの思い出をムービーにしてみた。

因みに、このムービーは2006年４月～2007年10月までを時系列で流れます。
後半に僕と出会ったあなたは登場するまで辛抱して待ってちょ。

ま、身内以外は見てもおもんないけどね。

I was in Montreal a year ago

It's been a year since I left Vancouver. I still can't believe it.
I was in Montreal a year ago. It's amazing.
I need to enjoy my current life like the one at the time.

Cheer me up!!

無いものねだり

本当に欲しいものに限って手に入らないのか、手に入らないから無いものねだりなのか。どっちが先なんだろうか…。

最近どうもロールを過度に演じすぎる傾向にある事に気が付いてきた。
指令系統が壊れたらおしまいだな。

客観性客観性…

ゲートウェイ２１（Gateway21）

はい、もう知ってますね。
ゲートウェイ21

僕バッチリ使ってました！
2006年4月～2007年7月のプランだったから今からちょうど1年強前に過程は終了しているんだが、今から思うときっとオレの金もそのまま振り込まれてはいなかったんだろうなぁ。。

2005年12月：オレ支払う
→ゲートウェイ、お金を転用

2006年4月：オレのバン生活開始
→どこかの誰かのお金が転用され俺のホームステイや学校に支払われる
→2007年7月までこんな感じで続く

この螺旋がオレの後にもう２、３世代続き、今の被害者たちへ・・・

良く考えると俺も結構きわどかったなぁ。。

いや、逆に言うと俺は絶妙にうまく事が運んだもんだな。
唯一の誤算はオレの滞在中のカナディアンダラーの異常な上昇くらいだな。

結構GW21の担当の方は親身になってくれたんだけどね。
まあ、確かにあの必死な営業はノルマによるものなんだろうけど。
何だか、何ともいえん気分だ。

まあ、とにかく今回の被害者の方々にはホントに気の毒だとしか言いようがない。
100万、200万単位の金を預けた人もいたんだろうなぁ。
そのために必死で何年も働いたんだろうなぁ。

被害者は留学前の人だけじゃないんだからね。
留学中で、「もう支払われたはず」の人々も急に学校おいだされ、
ホームステイ追い出されともうひどいもんだ。

本気で恐ろしい。

そういえば、僕の友達のＴ氏。
唯一のGW21仲間だったけど、お互い無事終了してよかったよかった。
そういえば、Ｔ氏、あの噂のNOVAに在籍していた事もあったな。

Ｔ氏。呪いをかけているに違いない。

梅とコーラ

今日梅の菓子を食った。
うまかったけど、味が何かに似ていると思っていたら、、、
そうだ！！ コーラの味だ。
そうだったのかぁ。梅はコーラの味がするんだ。

友達は金メダリスト

谷本歩実
今日五輪連覇しましたーーーー！！！

因みに谷本歩実、僕の友達です。

…汗

いやいや、ホントホント。

■ルート１
オレ　←→　友人A　←→ 谷本歩実

■ルート２
オレ　←→　友人B 　　　　　　　　　谷本歩実

ホラホラ、友達の友達は皆友達だって。
ルート２なんて、友人Bは既に義姉ですから、その友達の僕は義兄同然だね。

やー、妹よ、よくがんばった！

ま、会ったことありませんけど。

First class discourager

Hm.. that guy is totally professional of discouraging people. Wow great.
The timing when he comments is always perfectly annoying.
It's like an art in a sarcastic way.
OK, I'll stop.

People are pretty different from I expected

Many things I leaned lately. It is weird because people never pick up the phone except when they expect somebody call them. Another thing is that people are more ambitious than I expected and they show that obvious. There should be something always attract people automatically and it's something like power or authority or something. As far as I understand, there's only few people who cares somebody weak or facing bad situation. It is more obvious than people say that people do not have interest in others.
Anyhow, this is the world I live. Nonetheless I don't like to be that, as long as I find a precious right person, I will be one of them treating people mean to the rest of people except the right one. That's the only way I can survive in this weird world.

Wanna-be rational

It's quite different btw understanding and dealing. Even though I totally know what's going on, I sometimes even cannot find the way getting through it. It's pretty difficult manipulating people. I found a fucked up stupid dumb bitch. He's just a wanna-be rational who's actually saying something always don't make sense. Nonetheless, I myself am also just an immature kid. I'm going to be a tactical guy.

I think I'm cursed

I hate my fate.
If it didn't work out, what would work out?
Man...

I feel like in a rush

I have a little bit of plan.
But it needs some time to get it done.
I think I'm suffering something tough.
Yet I hate hating somthing.
Face the situation.
I'm sort of excited on the other hand.
I feel like in a rush.

九十九里浜（東金旅行）

土日で、つくば発九十九里旅行に行ってきました。
目的は
１．人生初サーフィン体験
２．ＢＢＱ
３．夜パーティー

以上！

さてさて、朝早くからつくば行の電車にのり、集合時間につくば無事到着
I love NYのＴシャツで行ったらバンクーバー組にブーイングをくらう。
集まったのは、アリ、キャロライン、シェーニー、クリスティー、クリスティーン、エリ、けんじさん、りえこさん、ニック、アナ、他数名名前が・・ごめんなさい。

というわけで、４台の車で九十九里へＧｏ Canucks Go!!
オレはキャロラインの車でアリと３人で向かう。
結構あっさり現地到着。
でも天気は会いにくの雨。まあ、小ぶりでしたが。

さてさて、着くなりアリ、けんじさん、俺の３名はなんとサーフィンに行く。
人生初のサーフィン。ってか、コンタクトレンズのせいにしてマリンスポーツはできないと決めつけていたオレがいる。。
クリスティーの友達ジョンの紹介だ。でも、ジョン自身はサーフィンしないらしい。
先生はロス。彼かなり屈強です。
さて、実践に入ったけど、海（九十九里浜）は大荒れです。波強いす。もう超体力いるのってなんのって。海辺にはなんと足元を見ると何万という生きた貝たちが砂浜にうごめいています。すごい。なんかあんまり上手くサーフィンができないまま、途中で腰が痛くなる。。うう。日ごろの運動不足を恨む。でもまあがんばってみました。また行く機会があればいいなぁ。

とまあそんなわけで、初サーフィンを終え、ＢＢＱへレッツラゴー！
時刻は何と、まだ２時半。そのまま夜まで飲み続けること、うーん何時間だろう・・(笑)
そして、コテージに帰って、また飲む！！
そこで、２１という妙なゲームが始まる。
もうみんな酔ってて無茶苦茶。。汗

やーおもろかった。
次の日は朝飯食って、近所のGlass factryへ。その名も、菅原工芸硝子。
噂によると、芸能人のちあきのお父さんの会社はここらしい。

まあ、なんや、かわったガラス細工をみて、さて帰路に就く。
つくばについたのが３時くらい。
いやー、ちょうつかれたけどめっちゃ楽しかったとさ。

ちゃんちゃん。

日の出は早い

6月14日今日現在
早朝3:30は既に空が明るくなっていた事に驚く。
日はまだ出ていないが、時期に登るだろうな。

ところで、ヤフージャパンで、「friends season1」と検索したら
俺のブログがNo1だったのに驚いた。
ヤフーもどうかしてるぜ。

日本社会・縦社会

日本社会
縦社会
比較社会
根性論
右へ習え
臭いものには蓋をする

そんな社会がここにある。

Angel of Death

やべー。
職場にSlayerのAngel of Deathが流れてる。。
どんなやねん。。汗

人

やれやれ。
つくづく思った。
やはり人だな。
大切なのは。

泣いてもええですか？

こんなに週末が待ち遠しかったことはない。

悔しいことがあった。

畜生。ちくしょう・・
うまくできんなぁ。。

くやしいなぁ。
なんでこうなるんだろう。
畜生・・

Seize a chance

Well.. it's pretty much hard to live a life as I myself am. Actually so many chances and stupid crappy things are surrounding  us everywhere. What makes me annoyed? What was the problem in my previous decision? People, include me, mistakenly think the problem is in thier circumstances, nonetheless, it's I believe always in my mind. Whenever chances come, it also brings risks as well. In other word, you need to take a risk when you want to seize your chance. Boy..do not be scared of anything. Nothing hurts you seriously actually. What you think it's really critical is usually not so big deal afterward. All you/I can do is just be strong, experience anything, think and try your hardest. Hang in there, man!!

携帯電話

携帯電話を忘れるというドアホな失態をしてしまった。
うーん、いつもどこか抜けているんだよなぁ・・・。

寂しいなぁ・・・

まあ、そんな時もあるか。。
と、仕事中にこんな事を書いているけどもうみんな帰ったからちょっと休憩しよう。
あー疲れた。

ってか、、ちょっと仕事抱えすぎかも。。
ヤバイなぁー。
こなせるんかなぁ。。

ってか、寂しいなぁ・・・
あ、関係ないか。

Work as a dog

しんどいわ。。
おなか減ったよー。

チキンなオレ

昔はサーモンだったが、最近はチキンだ。。

「覚える」事は「取り出し方を決める」事なのでは・・・

はい。暇人です！
ふと思った事を忘れないように書き留めておく。
そんな日記です。
だから独り言です。

さて、テーマは「記憶」について。

■□■　Agenda　■□■
・実は脳って一度見聞きした事の多くを一瞬で覚えてしまうんじゃないだろうか。
・俗に言う「覚える」という行為は「脳から記憶を取り出す経路を作る」作業ではないか。

■□■　Trial-and-error method　■□■
人生で一回しか行ったことの無い場所に数年ぶりに行っても普通に「あ、知ってる」って思ったりするもんだ。これは脳の中にその景色が「入ってい た」から「取り出せた」わけかな。オレは映画とかって大抵一回づつしか見ないんだけど、数年後にテレビでやってるのを見つけて、各シーンを結構鮮明に覚え てたりするし。

あ、あと自閉症の人が一瞬見た本のページの内容を全部覚えているとか、一瞬見た景色を完全に再現した絵を描くとかあるよな。
あれは実は「脳に取り込むスピードが早い」んじゃなくて、「取り出し口が開きっぱなしになっている」だけなんじゃないだろうか。
確か自閉症の人って一度作ったルールを破れないんだよね。
ってのは「いつも情報の取り出し口が全開」だから、「この場合はこっちの情報を取り出して、別の場合は別の情報を取り出して」ってロジカルにできないから矛盾が発生すると対応できないわけか。

多分かなり多くの事を人間は「勝手に覚えている」んではにゃいだろうか。
そういう観点から行くと、オレも君もどっかの天才も「みんな記憶している量は同じ」なんじゃないだろうか。いや、正確に言うと、多分「年齢を重ね た人」の方が見聞きした時間が長いわけだから多く記憶していたり、「本を読んでいる人の方が」多くの「有用な情報」を記憶していたりするんだろうけど。

じゃあ「良くお出来になる方々」との違いは何やろ？
まあ、まずさっき言った年齢や関わった情報（本とか）か。
あとは、「情報をいつでも取り出せる」かが違うんだろうな。

・同じ量の情報を持っている
・情報の質は違う（読んだ本、見た映画、聴く音楽などによる）
・情報を「いつでも取り出せる」かどうかが違う

こんなとこか。

よく、全然忘れてた事を何かのきっかけで思い出す事がある。臭いとか、音楽とか、味とかきっかけは色々ある。そんな時に自分はそのことがらを知ら ず知らずに「覚えていたと実感する」。実感しようがしまいが結局覚えていたわけだ。覚えようとする努力をせずに。だから覚えるのにはきっと努力はいらな い。努力が要るのはむしろ「取り出し方を作る」方だろうな。自分で取り出し方がわかった時に始めて「知っている」と言えて、知っているという事は「記憶し ている事を自覚している」状態だと言えるわけか。

さっき出た「きっかけ」は意図的に作らない場合は「偶発的」な物ばかり。「味噌汁」で「実家」を思い出したり。でも、「意図的に脳から記憶を取り出すトリガー」を作ってやれば、「いつでも取り出せる記憶」になるってもんだ。

あ、あともう一つ大事な事は、取り出した情報の意味を理解している事と、複数の情報の相関関係を理解している事だろうな。

１．有用な情報を詰め込む（本を読んだり、映画を見たり）
２．詰め込んだ情報の相関関係を理解する
３．情報を取り出すトリガーを作る

この全部がそろって初めて知識人になれるという物よ。
さらに踏み込むと、よくいる「結構頭のいい人」でもこの３つの組み合わせがそろってないために得手不得手が出てくる人もいるわけだろう。

【パターン１：Intelligent で良くお出来になる方】
１．２．３．そろった人。えらい人。

【パターン２：Smart で小器用だけど、知識不足の人】
２．３．は満たしてるけど、あんまり勉強してない。
とても理解が早く、要領よく必要な部分だけかいつまんで知識を得る能力に優れている。反面、自分を過信する所からそれ以上の知識を得ようとせず意見が希薄だったり偏っていたりする。

【パターン３：Knowledgeable で物知りだけど、含蓄が無い人】
１．２．は満たしているけど、持ってる情報の本質を理解していない。
とりあえず、「物知り君」の称号はこの人の物。結構情報集めに余念がなく、なんでもさっさと詰め込んでいくので知らないことはあまりない。でも、それら情報に対する意見は持ち合わせていない。

【パターン４：Wise で博識、だけど人に伝えられない人】
１．２．は満たしているけど、専門用語の記憶（記憶の定義は「トリガー作成」の事）や、具体的事例の記憶をしない。
物事・問題の本質を理解しており、分析、問題解決の能力に富んでいる。抽象的に物事をとらえるので事象の本質は理解しているのに、「説明しろ」と言われると具体的でなく、説得力のあるプレゼンができない。

【パターン５：３つとも無い人】
１．２．３．全部持ち合わせていない人。
情報も詰め込まないし、持ってる情報の相関関係も理解して無いし、せっかくある情報の取り出し方もわかってない人。ま、それでも人生生きていけるさ。

こんな事を考えていると、得手不得手なんてのは、後天的に解消できそうな気がしてくる。

そんなわけで、きっと脳は見聞きした事を実は全部知ってるんだろうなぁ。んで、後は取り出し方を作る事がそれを知ってるって自覚させてくれるのじゃ。

たぶん。

やー、すごいなぁ。脳って。
さて、こんな風に何の文献も読んでないのにコンクルージョンを出していいのだろうか。だめだろうな、きっと(笑)

Hike in Black tusk

Holy crap! This was far different from "Hiking" sounds like!! We walked up to the camping ground in the mountain where is pretty close to Whistler. We were heading for Black tusk eventually. I brought only a pack of cookie for my meal in this 2 days camping. Besides I only had a litter bottle of water. Those were totally not enough. The mountain was so much steep slope. Who told me this was esier than Grouse mountain!! 7 hours walking for one way was totally killing me. But finally we reached the camping ground by the lake so-called Gribaldi lake. It was sooooooooooo beautiful!! Yet we were still on the way to the top... We stayed a night there in tents. Fuckin' heavy rain sounds whole night, and it made me be worried.
Next day, Luckyly the weather was fine! On the way to the top of the mountain Black tusk, we just left our most gear and kept walking. The scenery changed a lot. First we were walking in the forest, then open field apeared, finally we could only see rocks and snow! It was so much amazing. It was pretty cold, hazy and foggy. You could see wide view only once in a while when the mist disappered for few seconds. It looked like we were in the heaven. The mountain was so much majestic! We all were so much moved. Eventually we arrived the place which people were prohibited to go. However they just kept walking. Jonas, Sean, Aurelia, Tao, Elesa, Yoichi and I arrived almost the top. Catrina was already worn out and just gave up to climb at the end of the walking trail. Tao, Yoichi and I also gave up the final rock climbing part. The view was just incredible and deserved climbing. We returned to the check point where we past before. On the way there, we saw 2 small cute animals which most likely a kind of Muskrat on the ground. They were approximately 50cm long. They were so cute. I love to see wild animals. Then we caught up Catrina finally. We all were totally worn out too. First we were waiting rest of us. But at last, we just left there and started walking down hill. When I arrived at home, I felt I survived anyways...
Oh by the way, when we reached the parking lot, Catrina just ran over my left foot by her car!!! I was soooooooooooooo shocked, you know? When I was still loading my bag on her car, she suddenly started driving. I thought what kind of joke it was!!! Yes, it was just an accident. She just misunderstood I'd already been in her car though. Anyway, the trip was pretty much tiring but much funner!

Done

Hellow everybody, first of all I need to inform you my graduating from the school. I canNot believe it past a year since I started. Everything is like happened yesterday, you know. As some people know I am the one who attends this school the longest. Because of that, I had spent so many time with several generations of friends and classmates. When I had a hard time, so many people helped me. Please let me say thank you guys. I somehow finished everything.
I don't know if you know, yet I several times attempted quitting school. This is my opinion though, my school is unfortunately Not good enough. You know what? A month ago a woman who saw my homepage sent me a e-mail to ask me how is the school like. Yeah, she is completely stranger to me. Anyways, at the time I had to say "My school is definitely bad". This is pretty sad, isn't it? Yet this is the fact. In spite of that, I still miss my school. Finishing this school is .. well how can I say, kind of sad.
Though I complaint, I was kinda lucky as well when it comes to practicum and internship. My practicum task was flash project which is for insurance company. And internship was web designing company. The office was pretty neat, people are great! location is in Gastown. This is a bit far though, still in downtown, eh? Oh my gosh. everything has done. Oh my goodness.
Now I really want to know what's going on with you guys. Are you guys doing well? Do you ever get in touch with Raymond, or the other instructors? Hope you guys are doing pretty well. And I may catch up with you guys soon or later. All of you guys whom I met and spent lot's of time in Bodwell school, I appreciate you so much.

Oh, by the way, my going back to Japan is still a little bit later. I'm staying Vancouver little bit more and go traveling then. Anyhow, I'll let you know when I decided my plan.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Did you know what Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Gov. of California, is in Canada now? I watched the TV news and I saw his speech on TV yesterday. You can feel a bond with him, aren't you?
Today I had an appointment to have lunch with Chris, my client of the practicum task. I was supposed to meet him at 12:00. While I was sleeping in the morning, I got the ring from someone. I woke up and answerd it and it was Chris. I checked the time and I realized when it was 12:05. Ooooops!! I over slept a lot! What'll I do? how can I answer him? Somehow told him I'm late and I'll come up at 12:30. When I arrived his office, he said "What kind of restaurant do you want to go?, I had an idea before but I kind of have to change since we don't have enough time." Uh-Oh... I was so sorry Chris, but I couldn't tell what I was sleeping. haha...Then we went to the restaurant on Thurlow St. As we ordered, Chris suddenly mumbled something. I just "perdon me?". "Arnold Schwarzenegger...". What!? Boy, it canNot be happened, men. As I said in my mind, I turned around my neck and what I saw was Arnold Schwarzenegger sitting at the table behind us!!! OH MY GOD!!! Arnold Schwarzenegger!!!!!! Once more, OH MY GOD! I canNot believe my eyes. He just appeared naturally and just sat on the chair and eating as if he is a normal guy. Of cource there were several security guard though. I still remember the impact of Terminater 2. Surprising thing was what people didn't bother him, although everybody knew there was him. According to Chris, the restaurant is sort of high class place and people really care to harass them. But Chris looked excited too. Waitresses pretended not to be excited. Yet some of them whispered his name. As the atomosphere, I couldn't take any picture. That's my only remorse.

White Rock and Peace arch park

Folks, I went to White Rock again with a friend! The weather was nice, everything was good. And it was kind of a great time. When we arrived in White rock we went to the pier typically. And of course check the big white rock and took some pics. then played near water to look for small fish. The scenery was so awesome and everybody around us were not asian. If you want to spend some calm and slow moment, you should visit this place. We ate fish and chips there. Then we went to the park called "Peace arch park". The park is located on the border of U.S. We were supposed to get there on foot from the coast. While we were walking, a old guy who felt sorry to us found us from his car and talked to us, "I think the park you're heading for is so far to walk, that I'll take you guy there by my car." Though I hesitated for a second, soon after we nodded our head and got there. They were so kind to us. We were lucky. The park was really cozy and pretty nice surroundings. In the park surprisingly you can see the border of U.S. There is a big white gate in the center of the wide space and you actually can cross by on your foot easily. We didn't though. On the way back we found crowds of clover. So my friend said, "Whenever I see clover, I always feel like seek a four leaves one." In fact I'd never seen the actual four leaves clover in my life. So I just said, "Oh, does it really exist? That is a kinda sperstition, isn't it?". Then we started looking for one. Then I found one!! Bullshit! Oh, my gosh! Does it really exist?? First I couldn't stop laughing. Hey, anyhow my wish will come true soon or later. Cool, men!

Vancouver Sun Run

I took part in Vancouver Sun Run! This is one of the biggest annual event in Vancouver. You know? the number of the participants are such as 55 thousand.
They were separated by the color, Blue, Yellow, Green, White, Purple, Red. Blue starts first and Red does the last. My bib's color was Red and started with the final group. Starting gate was located on Georgia st. and Thurlow st. and you know what? Red's waiting area was Seymore st. which is located on five block away from the starting area!! Then you can guess how crowded it was! On the street we could only see the crowd of people. it was so crazy! First we headed for Stanley park, then ran along with English bay, cross the Barrurd Bridge, went to Canbie bridge and cross this and finish at B.C. place. It was 10km. I hadn't done any kinds of sports lately. I was so anxious of this 10km. but it was just so much fan. nothing was problem. Hey, see I proved I'm still such young!
Oh, I'm looking forward to the Vancouver sun news paper tomorrow. Coz participants' names will be on the paper! Yeah.

WHL Giants vs Cougars

Hello everybody! I finally went to see Ice hockey game. Though the game was WHL which is sort of junior league(under 20), that was sooooooooooooo amasing!! I'm afraid to say, but I say that was totally different from Canadian football. I didn't have any knowledge of football when I saw lions game, and I totally couldn't understand what was going on at the time. But hockey is different. just exciting!!
The place we went is PNE stadium where I saw dog show in summer. And you know what? I found a spirit-bear named Hastings which is sold in last November.
As some of my friends know, I'm the one who was correcting the spirit-bears pics, so I was so excited!!
Oh, and let me surprise you, we didn't pay anything and we used the official's door to enter the stadium and surprisingly our sheets were right behind the fence!! Imagine that, it must have been wild, huh? In fact our friend Maintja was the every reason why we could be treated like that. She does volunteer at food bank. then her boss is one of authority of WHL. Cool, man!
The game was between Vancouver Giants vs bla-bla Cougars. Giants won 2 - 0. Oh, there's a thing I found. The officials were wearing the clothing that sais, "OFF ICE OFFICIAL". That pretty funny, do you know what I'm saying?
Then we went to have some food and We spent perfect time there. Actually one of my school friend is going back to Japan the day after tomorrow. This time might be the last time to see her in vancouver. hope we can meet in Japan.
After I went back home, I realized that the TV show Giants vs Cougars game is going on!! Wow, that must be the game we saw today!! And guess what we all were on TV. Since our sheets were the 1st row. Do you know what I mean? I finally debuted in Canada!! wahaha.

Cherry blossom

I went to bed at 4 o'clock last night, because I had a party with Ken.
So I got up at 11am.....
Right after I woke up I went to have a hair cut.
Though I also have an appointment with Ali and his friends, it starts at 8:00 PM, so I had so much time.
I just called my friend to kill some time at Starbucks.
On the way there, what I just found was trees which have pink blossom beside the street! I just was wondering if it was Cherry blossom???
You know what? It is still March 3rd, eh? I just come close to those trees, so that I wanted to fegure out whether it was or not. Then those were definitely cherry blossom! I can't believe that. and they were sort of full bloom. It's too early. Moreover nobody broadcast the condition of cherry blossom. Those were just standing alone calmly as if nothing happened. Those ones just reminded me of my arriving in vancouver. I still clearly remember what I saw when I reached van.
I almost spent a year here. Oh, shit! What did I achieve here? what can I come through from now on? Ah-, I don't want to think about that.
Oh btw, Ali just came back from Japan temporally. He was pretty fine. and the restaurant was amazing! We called it a day at 11pm, then I felt just I still have some time, so I joined Phil, Nathan's party. Their party was crazy. I'd never seen that big and crazy party. 90% of them were Caucasian people and evrybody got dranken tooooo much and spilled tons of alcohol on the floor. It was wild, but bit scarely as well. Oh, what a mess!!!!! But I could pretty much enjoyed.
Go crazy!

2 days in a row

Hey buddy! I've just come home from my birthday party now! And my class mates had my birthday party yesterday too! So I had 2 birthday parties on Friday and Saturday in a row. I really want to say thank you for everybody! I'm very happy.
Oh, I remember that I was drawn graffiti on my face 2 days in a row as well.
...(-. -;)
The party on Friday was originally called "Takoyaki party" and my class mates prepare cake with fireworks instead of candles. That was kind of surprising. I was dranken, everybody got dranken and I spent so much fun time.
Then today I had another one basecally organized by PGIC friends. I got lots of gifts from them. I'm so glad them. I got perfume, Dream theater's DVD, clothing for my daughter(???), cookie, chocolate, amulet and antiplaque mouthwash which is actually leftover(???). I'm very glad you guys. I'm so happy. you can see some of the presents are something strange though. haha.

In fact some of my friends who couldn't come to the party gave me a phone call or sent me a e-mail to celebrate me as well. I just thank everybody.

Then I'm going to be a 29th on Feb. 20th. This is my last year of my 20's. I have to be more mature.

Oh, as I said,  everybody drew graffiti on my face, then let me introdece what the hell they wrote down on my face.
They wrote such as, "crap", "I'm gay", "SEX", "meat" on my forehead, and so forth.
Don't you think it's a punishment?

I feel down these days.

Holy shit! I don't feel good now. I don't know why. There's no reason. Am I bored or scared of something? I don't know. I have no idea. Somehow I feel down. I guess I shouldn't think seriously. It could be just a temporary poroblem. However, because of that, I think I'm pretty short temper now. I hate that. Hey, hang in there. All I need to do is being confident and more humble. Come to think of that, I can say I'm very immature. Crap

Boxing day

oxing day is the day after christmas and you can buy whatever you want extremely cheaper than usual. There is not such a culture in my country. So I was really interested in it. Since I'd been standing the life without a guitar, I was aiming to buy one in this opportunity. However I just thought that I don't want to bring one to Japan. So I was supporsed to buy the cheapest guitar, less than $100 in the store though...

On the boxing day; 26th of Dec. I reached Tom Lee, a musical instrument store in Vancouver downtown, and started looking for the cheapest one like $100 or so. Then what I found was... Ooh!! This must be Fender U.S.A.!!!!!!! Well.. what's the condition?? Cherry sun burst, alder body, maple neck, maple fingerboard, in addition that has a 22nd fret as well. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh!! This must be! This must be!! What I wanted to buy is that!!! Let's see...What's the price??? Noooooooooooooooooooohh! It's ONLY $1190! Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! that's very cheaaaaaaaaaaaaap! Oh, no! What'll I do?? If I buy this one, how can I bring it to the metropolis Okazaki city? Before of all, can I live my rest of vancouver life? Oh, but this Fender is waiting meeeee! Oh, gosh! Hey, let's try playing to check the sound. Wow, the sound is pretty good. and you know, how good the feeling is? It just for me...

Well, well, well... something is strange. Haven't I looked for the cheapest in the store??? What the hell am I thinking of! Satoshi! don't be defeated by my impulse! Forget about it, Satoshi! I can buy fender in Japan, can you? Not now Satoshi! Not a chance!!!!! I don't afford to buy stuff costs more than a thousand!! It's impossible. Don't do that Saaaaatoooshiiiiii!!!

At last I could stop my impulse. Finally what I bought was a guitar costs $89 include tax. The brand I bought was "MRW"!!! I don't know!!! I've never heard  that and it's just cheap. but I didn't have to pay like $1000. Oh, I almost die. Anyhow, I finally got the guitar here in Vanoucver!!!! yeah!!! I hadn't played for more than 8 months. Please forgive my laziness Mr.Kamadoneko master and Mr.Suzuki. Somehow I've got now and I'll practice a lot. Well...don't ask me the question, "What about your study?"
Somehow I'm happy!
