fish-shaped pancake 2

I was surprised with this big pancake. One of my bosses gave me it after lunch time. It is stuffed with 2.5 times of bean jam as ordinal one. I ate two-thirds of it and then was really full to have been able to skip dinner. Since I have got many kinds of sweets and snacks in my current office I might gain weight.

drinking session

I ate out for dinner with my coworkers and went to the Karaoke bar. We didn't have plan going to the Karaoke first but one of them was excited so much and suggested we would go there. He is by far older than me so I don't know all of songs he sang. After all we got carry away and extend time for singing.
Now I got sore throat. Seems I made merry too much.

on the early shift

I was on the early shift for 2days in a row so I had to get up 1h earlier than usual and then I felt sleepy in the office. Especially I had to be a proctor of the vocational aptitude test for the employment exam after lunch. I just have to be there to monitor the prospective new employees next year. So I almost got sleep but one of them asked a question to me, I was awakened suddenly.
I felt like eating chocolate intensively after I was back home. I ate some sweets instead of dinner. It's like sign of that I am getting tired when I want to eat something sweet. I wish this week would be finished very soon.

what will become of ash chaos

Since I heard about some airports in Europe are closed because of ash I have started to worry about my flight to Paris this summer. I will supposed to meet my friend there and he will take the holidays for the days I will be there. But nobody knows what it will be going on. I just wish it will not cause affection to my flight.

hot day

It was summer day. The temperature rose to 29.5 degrees at my place. The city next to my town is the hottest town every summer. So seems it had hottest today too. The weather forecast says it will be summer day tomorrow too. I have to think about clothes for r while when I get up. It still cool early morning. But I can get up easily if it's not cold. I will be on the early shift tomorrow. Aww...I have to go bed earlier.

nightmare

I had heartburn and felt nauseated suddenly last night so while I was watching movie. So I went to bed earlier and then got nightmare as expected. I was had been teased by that older female owner at my previous company. I had forgotten completely about her, though...Anyway the existence of such as good-for-nothing women are really annoying.

The TV show

土曜日の夕方、何気なくテレビを付けたら、カンボジアで活躍している地雷探知犬の特集がやっていました。現在もカンボジアでは地雷が沢山埋まっていて、地雷探知犬の存在が必須だそうです。

今までは探知犬を国外からの輸入で賄っていたのですが、コストがかかるため、カンボジア出身の探知犬の育成をに力を入れているそうです。今回は初のカンボジア生まれの犬が地雷探知犬としてのテストに合格するかどうかにスポットがあてられていました。結局その子(犬)はテストに合格し、現在も沢山地雷が埋められている、タイとの国境近くの現場での任務を与えられて現地へ向かうという所で番組は終了しました。

日本では考えられない事実に衝撃を受けました。また、以前カンボジアへ旅行した時に聞いた「カンボジアではつい最近まで戦争をしていたので、人々の生活はまだまだ困難で食糧事情に至っては、クモでもネズミでもゴキブリでも何でも食べるよ」と可愛い顔をした現地ガイドさんがサラッと言った言葉を思い出しました。

この様な国の事情を聞かされると日本は不景気と言っても本当に平和な国なんだなぁと改めて実感させられます。私と言えば、日々の食べ物にももちろん困らず、真剣に考えることと言えば次の旅行計画ぐらいで、本当にお気楽に毎日を過ごしています。せっかく恵まれた生活環境にいるのだから、こうした貧困国の人々のために私にも出来ることは何かないか・・?と再び考えさせられた週末でした。実は前から考えていることがあるのですが、これはまた次の機会にお話ししたいと思います。まとまりませんが今週のチェックインとさせて頂きます。

When I turned on a TV unconciously on a Saturday evening, I found out in a TV show about dogs who search for land mines in Cambodia. I hear many land mines are buried there even now so the dogs searching for land mines are indispensable.But it is very costly so they have put a great deal of effort into bringing up the dogs born in Cambodia.The highlight this time is that if the dog born in Cambodia could pass the exam for searching land mines or not. After all, the dog who passed the exam got the duty on the site nearby the border of Thailand, it has many load mines even now at the end of TV show.

I was very shocked by the truth I can't imagine that happening in Japan.
Also I recalled the words of the local cute guide. She said, in Cambodia our life is still very hard and the food situation is terrible, we eat everything like spiders, mice, cockroaches and the likes.

Whenever I hear about the situation of countries like this.I recognized that Japan is still a peaceful country even it has been in recession. Like me, I have no trouble with my daily food and only the thing I think of seriously is the plan of my next trip. I live an easy-going life. I thought about the things I can do for poor people on other countries just this weekend. Actually I came upon something but I would like to tell it about someday. I can't organize my thought well though I would like to make above my topic of today.

eye doctor

I went to the eye doctor after work. Since I couldn't finish the job on the fixed time I couldn't be on time accepted at the clinic I always go. So I went to the other clinic at first time. That clinic was really crowded because we can get seeing a doctor until later time than others.I waited about almost 2h. Although I thought I got the scar on the surface of my left eye the doctor didn't mention about it. He just said, the pupils of the eyes are pretty dilated so you must have been felt everything was very slowly today. But he never gave me eye drops. I think it's a quack.
I have to be check-up again at the usual clinic. It was really waste and money today.:-(

cold

I caught a cold last night. I felt chilly in the morning but I had continued to do chores. I thought I can remove that chill if I had sauna so I went to the spa after drinking vitamin drink. I felt it was getting over at first 1h but I started to feel ill soon. I went back to home immediately ( It was very hard to drive ) and then rushed to bed.
After all, I absent from the office today. Since i don't have high fever now, I might go to the office if I tried to do that. I wonder I got tired?? Even I got long holiday just one week...

jogging

I jogged after 2days today. Although I decided to keep jogging as my daily exercise I tend to skip it when i worked in the office. After all I jog only weekends. I don't know it's effective for maintaining my health.
Some people jog in the park and they run by far faster than me. Actually I feel tired very quickly and then I walk most of the time. Want to believe it's better than doing nothing...

got job offer though...

I got the job offer from the company I worked for there about 1.5 years ago. What a ironic this world is ! It's too late. I have already started my new job for a month. Although current job is not the one I really wanted to do. All of staff are very nice and the boss is also gentle and considerate. Actually I have never seen such as good office ever. My contract will be finished by the end of June but seems I will be able to renew it again and then it is possible to be there as long as that company isn't in financial difficulties.
Since I got the other job offer from the temp agency I wonder the economy situation in Japan is getting better as the medias says??

back to work

Golden week have passed in a instant. I had something to have to do ,though couldn't do a half of them.

I went to Yokohama and then tried to some Chinese foods but all of shops I wanted to have meals were crowded unusually. So I gave up them.

anyway I was back to work from today. I had been slept all of day. I yawned over again and again during the meeting. They are talking too much long time. It's just about the contents of training they tried to offer to their clients. In my opinion they have to start something if they could have enough time for meeting.

I decided to keep writing this blog everyday even if it would be short one and jogging as well.
But I had already skipped jogging because it was blowing a gale around this evening. :p I don't want to be outside when it is bad weather.
