I am looking forward to ...

I talked about our job with my friend at lunch. How should we do to be rich? We talk nothing but being rich recently. We used to study hard to get the license related to trading before but it seems we will not able to take advantage of that license due to global recession. My friend is looking for the license which can bring much profit. She is dreaming of getting luxurious car Lexus of Toyota when she would be rich.Why Lexus? I have no idea.:p

After lunch I went to the bonesetter to strengthen my bandy legs. Seems it will take a long time to be strengthened completely. But I will try to keep straightening there.
It is a trustworthy office. The doctor's fee is just one-third of the one when I have it in Tokyo.
I was learned about how to stretch myself which has good effective to strengthen bandy legs. I have to do it as much as I can a day. But it pretty hard to keep that posture even 1 minute.
Anyway I should work on it. I am looking forward to getting well-shaped my legs after sevral months. hehe

thinking about my job

I went back to home late last night because my students asked me to extend the time for tutoring since they will have the semester exam today. I arrived at home around 10:30pm and noticed the mail from another student. He asked some questions of math. The questions are very easy besides I taught him how to solve over again and again. Seem he still can't understand them.:-(
Anyway, I am getting very busy these days with tutoring compared to the importing company at the daytime. Maybe I'd better have job only as a tutor on concentrate. I tried to calculate the amount of my benefits when I have 2 times of students I have currently. Oh, I can expect gain pretty much.

I wasn't busy in the office because the owner wasn't there.:p Even though she gave us some chores so that we couldn't spend freely we could get through them immediately. We picked some herbs in the afternoon. Actually there are many kinds of self-cultivation herbs in the garden of the company. They are very useful to release my stress.


According to my today's student, her school is almost be closed due to swine flu. She says some of her friends got flu now. Now I feel the flu issue is closing to just around me. It is my first time in ever all of my life the flu is such as serious problem. I should be careful but I don't know what to do aside from frequent washing my hands and gargling. I doubt the vaccination is the most effective.

quick lunch box

I usually take my lunch box when I have work in the office on weekdays and have make it by myself. Sometimes I feel it very troublesome so get it at the convenience store. But the best way is using frozen foods. I can make it only for 3min. And it looks very colorful and delicious. Actually the taste is worse than what it is homemade, though...

Since I was spaced out I left my bag which has all of my belongings like wallet, cosmetic poach, cell-phone, digital dictionary, handkerchief, eye-drops,etc. in my house. I noticed that on the way to the office and then I retrieved it from my house. I had bought only lunch bag. I am very clumsy. Fortunately I was not late on the time for the office.


Ah, I just have to note. The lottery which is annual the end of the year started to be sold from yesterday. I should get it later.

my labor thanks giving day

I started gardening about three months ago. I planted young tomato, lettuce, basil and so on.

Now I am waiting ripen petit tomato but it still have not been enough. Maybe that's because it got colder suddenly last week. I picked two kinds of lettuses and Italian basil as today's harvest. Actually I had forgotten to pick them so they were grown too much.










Although today was the national holiday as the labor thanks giving-day, I had work of tutoring at night. I really wanted to skip it but I couldn't. Because my student will have the semester exam in 3days so if I would skip I would be disgusted by him.
Today's subject was how to prove congruence of two triangles. I was in trouble to explain about vertical angles.
I tried to ask him which high school he would like to go. He wants to enter the high school with recommendation from succor and be a professional. I just have known he is belong to the succor team but I didn't know about that. He was speaking enthusiastically with sparkling eyes.I want him to be active as a J-leaguer in the future. I wonder I should get his autograph before it is too late? haha

Spa & etc.




I went to the Spa again. But it's not the one I always go. It is 'Ganban-Yoku'(Ganban means bedrock and Yoku means bath) which is one kinds of the sauna style bath and you can sweat lying on the warmed natural stones or rocks, they call it the bath needless bath.
It causes good effect for the poor blood circulation. But just about me I broke into a sweat and lost my weight in a short time. Actually I don't need to be on a diet because I am thin so seems someone takes care of their weight would better use it. I prefer ordinal Spa which has hot spring.

Around at 6:30pm I was heading to the my student's house and passed by UNIQLO crowded with many people.Seemed the shop was holding sale. I think the reasonable shops like UNIQLO are getting popular around the world. So far I still have not found nice item there,though. I am excited getting something luxurious which has big reductions in the prices.

My students will have the semester examination in a week so he asked me to tell the measures of math. I gave him some questions and found he is poor at the application of equation. If it would be composed by the fraction he always takes a long time to solve it. He also doesn't like the question requires reading comprehension. I explained about how to make the formula carefully. I hope he can get the high score of math.

Atelier of Japanese paper







I visited the workman of Japanese paper to ask her to make the trial product made of Japanese paper. It was very cold just today. Besides that place is located in the mountains so it was cooler than city area. But the Atelier was great. We could see many kind of Japanese paper crafts and some famous people in this field.
We had lunch at the popular Soba restaurant around that area after meeting.

We went to back to the office in good mood ,though we got the announcement from the customs brokers and then was upset terribly. Because it says that we will not able to use the certification of foods inspection needed when we import the goods related to foods from overseas. That expire date is the end of this year which means we have to get the certification again next year. According to the owner the inspection fee is very expensive so we can't expect the profits at least for a year. So we placed an order mass of products immediately. Anyway I really have grudge the person who decided this system. There is always someone who stand in the way of our business.

I was very sleepy last night.

Since I went to bed before I knew it last night. So I'm writing up this dairy now.
Yesterday, I had labor work in the warehouse of the importing company . I leaned about how to move the pallets and use the PP bands. I can admire the person who invented the PP bands.I guess he must became rich thanks to this patent. Anyway...I'm sure I can be hired by the packing agent when I lose the job next.:p
About tutor, the student was elementary so I could make it easily. I taught how to get the volume of cubic, triangular prism and so on. That student is very talkative and she always change the subject to her favorite Japanese idol,Hey say Jump. Actually I didn't know about them ,though recently I am getting familiar with that idol. But for me they don't quite make the grade. They are too young for me. But I can make a sense because the girls who are 12-15 regard the men more than 25 as old man. haha.

Oh, It's almost the time for leaving home. I have to visit to the workman of Japanese paper with the owner today.

addicted to hotspring


It's getting cold day by day these days. Just yesterday, the temperature was the same as the middle of December. It had been very cold in the office all of day so I was thinking about going to the Spa after work. I don't like taking a bath at home during the winter because there is the coldest place in my house. So I usually go to the Spa near from my house when I have time. Luckily my class was canceled just last night so I went there after dinner. I could warm up my body,release my stress and the swelling of my legs was gone.

Seems I will be a regular customer of that Spa this winter too.

got something new

In the office I was taught how to use the electric screwdriver by the owner. Actually I had never thought about that I have to do such as works in my daily life before. But just in that company requires some handiwork. We have to assemble the carts for luxurious hotels like Birdcage luggage cart, Bellman's Hand Trucks before we ship them our customer when we received the shipments from overseas . I tried to use the electric screwdriver following owner's advice. I could use it by far better than I expected. I can make it very well so I should try do-it-yourself carpentry next time even at home.^^

About tutoring I was in trouble in the difficult question of math like this: required the area of triangle surrounded by the straight line of liner function and the curve quadratic function. Phew...I don't like math.

Now I feel sleepy and have to go to bed soon because I have to get up early tomorrow again...

real Japanese meal

Nowadays I usually eat out with my friends for lunch on weekends. But there was no person who has time to hang out with me today...so I spent alone all of day. I went to the beauty-treatment clinic to have facial massage in the morning and went back to home and then cooked my lunch. But I cooked in a very short time. Just baked fish(a Pacific saury), made instant Japanese pickles and Miso soup, boiled rice,sliced sesame Tohu...that's all. How healthy and simple my lunch is!
Although I love Italian, French, Indian, Korean and other countries foods, I sometimes feel like eating simple Japanese foods like today's lunch. I knew it.

rainbow




I could find the rainbow around 4:30pm today while I was driving my car to get something at the supermarket. When I noticed it I didn't have camera so retrieved it from my house unconsciously. Maybe it has been a long time since I saw the rainbow last time. It can't be come out badly on just the picture but the original was fantastic.

Japanese handmade Paper











I visited to Ogawa-town in Saitama prefecture with my coworkers because we are trying to think up the new products used Washi (Japanse handmade paper) for the guest room at first-class hotels. We thought we have to learn about Washi first as the start. That town is famous for the home town of Washi.

Ogawa-Town
The history of Ogawa-town can date back to far the Jyoumon-Era. It was known as the important point of the Kamakura Highway which connected Kamakura and Jyosyu in the Medieval Period and interesting town for the touring Japanese old history because there are the place of Umegaoka remains the legend of Miya Shogun Morikuni Imperial Prince who escaped safely to there after the fall of the Kamakura government, the ruins of Sengaku-Risshi (priest) who achieved research on Manyou-syu, Daishou-Ji(temple) which has Rokkaku-Touba(stone Monument) of the important cultural property designated by the government.
We could see many kind of the paper crafts. That made me realized again the beauty of Japanese traditional culture
