Traditional Japanese New Year foods 'Osechi'

At last night, I watched Japanese cooking TV program. It was about traditional Japanese New Year foods "Osechi".
　
　

Old Japanese women made Osechi by themselves. Making Osechi needs many times.

Recently, Some of Japanese buy Osechi at the shops. Then they eat Osechi at home.

My mother keeps making Osechi now.

I like these foods of Osechi.

- Prawn


- Black soybeans ( We call it "Kuro mame")



- Broiled fish paste ( we call it "Kamaboko")


- Japanese Pickles Recipe( We call it "namasu")


- Kurikinton


If I go to Nagoya's father's home on 28th Dec, I decided to make Osechi with my mother together in order to learn how to make Osechi.

LOST season3

For a few months, I had to release programs and I was a little busy. So I couldn't watch "LOST season3" yet.

Since last week, I have a lot of time to do. For a few days, I enjoyed reading books.

Of course I will read more books. But I will finally watch "LOST season3" tomorrow.

I want to know the next and the secret of LOST now!!!

The live of Queen

I like Queen. In the past, I often listened to their songs.

A few days ago, I watched the live of Queen and the documentary on TV.

It was very wonderful. I am sorry that Freddie Mercury was dead. He was very excellent. His voice and performance were very wonderful.

I have many songs of Queen. Now, I want to listen to their song again.

Moment to Remember - The Eraser in My Head

Do you watch korean movies?

I like Korean movies and dramas. So I often watch them.

Once I wrote about the movie "Moment to Remember".



I watch this movie many times. I think that this movie is very wonderful movie. After watching this movie, I am impressed with this movie and think about love. This is one of the movies I love.

The Big present

I took day off today because I felt bad.

Wonderful package and flowers were arrived at my home!!!


The flowers are very wonderful.

Taking medicines

Well,I don't feel good. So I have kept going to the hospital. Then I take medicines every day.

I still go to office although I was late for the office because I feel dizzy and heavey headaches in the morning.(Sometimes, I took days off.)

The doctor said that you have to take sick leave. So I will talk about it with my boss tomorrow.

I really think that human health is most important.

Yoga help us!

I read an interesting article on the net.

I really understand that yoga is good.

After I may quit my current job, I may go to abroad in order to get a Yoga Alliance of USA. If we learn about Yoga and doing Yoga at the studios for 1 month, we will be able to teach Yoga.

I found programs of Yoga of Japanese travel agency . There are some programs in some countries in order to get a Yoga Alliance.

For example, San Francisco, NY, Canada, Australia, Hawaii etc.

I don't hear about the program yet. Recently, I have to go and listen to about it.

Interesting websites

When I read one person's blog, I found interesting websites.

The 10 Worst ROKSO Spammers

HOW RICH ARE YOU?

I will try it later. I am afraid that I must be poor.

Keep working

I am keeping finding bugs and releasing programs for about 3 month.

But I was a little tired. 2 weeks ago, I sometimes get vertigo and have heavy headache.

So I went to the doctor and I am taking some medicine.

I wish that my task will be over and take holidays for 1 or 2 months because I am lazy and I am not an workaholic.

Tokyo tower

Do you remember the book "Tokyo Tower"?



Once, I had written about it on this blog.
The story is about one family.
At this night, the TV drama of "Tokyo Tower" will be broadcasted in Japan.

I look forward to watching it. It must be true that I will be impressed with his mother and him and shed my tears.

Stupid government

I know that Japanese government is stupid.

It a report and target about Japanese education.

Strategy to child

- The home must be doing. [ What should I do in the starting point of the education ]. "Alcove" is made in the apartment of a housing complex and the apartment house, etc. The bus is not used in the excursion, and "Education of endurance" such as making it sit for 3-5 hours in the temple is done. The room in the mat is made in the school.

What do you think this stupid thing?

It lives together for about two weeks in simple lodgings and the physical labor is done. "The age changed here" and "Japan perishes if not changing" are announced, and it administers shock therapy. The virtual reality says it is evil as Hakkiri. They are stupid and teachers and children are suffer because of stupid Japanese government. It lives together for about two weeks in simple lodgings and the physical labor is done. Please read this.

PS3

I like playing video games. But I can't stand and wait for selling PS3 all night.

Could you stand up in front of the stores and wait for selling PS3 all cold night?

Japanese best actor

Do you know Japanese actor Yusaku Matsuda?



You may know him because he had played as a role the movie "Black Rain".

I didn't know his best time as actor because I didn't watch his movies and dramas when I was a child.

But now, we and younger people like him and he is a hero for us although we didn't know them at real time.

I like his movies. Because I think his play were real and wonderful. When I watch the movie the moive that he played a killer role, I feel fear. When I watch the TV drama that he acted funny, I feel funny and I laugh.

I like these movie
- Kazoku gêmu

- Tantei monogatari

- Yajû shisubeshi

I want to watch his movies. So I will rent them tomorrow.

Big eater

I like Japanese noodle "soba". But I was very surprised at this news.

He ate wanko soba of 329 cups.

I like eating delicious food. But I can't eat 329 cups of soba.

I think that we can't eat wanko soba in Japan because there aren't any restaurants of Iwate food. Please try eating wanko soba if you go to this restaurant.

Arigatou

Do you know a song of this video?

This song is popular in Japan.
The title of the song is "Arigatou".
It means that I thank you. I like this song. The title and lyric are very nice.

So I dedicate this video to one person who sent me wonderful things.

The lyric is here.
--- There are wonderful persons around me.
I thank you. the word of thank you is my favorite word.
you are precious for me.
I hope that we are happy forever.
I am glad and I am happy because I could meet you.
We are not alone because there are wonderful people around us and they help us.

Japanese school

Big problem in Japan.

I am watching the program on TV now.

I can't believe now.

I don't want to write about bad thing. But I want to know about other countries's situations. So I decided to write about one thing.

Do you know that Japanese children recently suicide because of school bullying? Children hurt other children in Japan.(If you want to know one sad happen, you can read this But more other sad things happen in Japan.).

The news are often said about the news of it in Japan.
If you know about Japanese school bullying, you couldn't believe because it is terrible. I may suicide if I was a child.

I remember one person said that Japanese education is good and other countries try to innovate Japanese education.

It is wrong.

The old education system of Japan may be good.

But the education system of our generations changed worse than old one. And current education system is worse.

The teachers can't pay attentions to children who do wrong things because of the wrong education system's manual of Japanese government.

If the teachers pay attentions to bad children, overprotective parents go to school and they complain.

The overprotective parents don't educate and they depend on teachers and schools.

I think that the number like those parents is increasing in Japan.

In the past,people thought the job of teacher was a wonderful job. But now, it was different. Many of teachers are suffering. Many of they became mental sick. Then they quit jobs in Japan.

So many of people don't want to become teachers because they spend a hard time while working without any joys. Of course me too.
To tell the truth, I don't want to become a teacher if I have a chance to become a teacher in Japan.

It is very sad.

But it is true.

The education system and society may become worse in Japan.

Are there children who suicide because of school bullying in your country?

And are number of children who suicide increasing in your country?

Big surprise

Yesterday, I went back home after work. Then one big surprise waited for me.

Bouquet!!!



After I got a wonderful and beautiful bouquet from the man of home-delivery service, I didn't know who sent it to me at all. Then I opened a bouguet from the box and I found a message card.

Yes! I could understand who sent me. XXXX,I really thank you.(hahaha).I just did what I wanted to do. Anyway, this bouquet is very beautiful.

This bouquet and card are my treasure. To tell the truth, I wanted to bring the bouquet to my desk of my office in order to look at it while working. So I posted the photo of bouquet in order to look at it while working at my office.

Thanks!

Japanese poetry

Do you know Japanese poetry Haiku?



Recenlty,I enjoy making Haiku.

At frist, I thought it was difficult to make Haiku. A few weeks ago, I saw one woman's blog on the net. She is older than me. And she made Haiku. Her Haiku was very interesting. So I decided to make Haiku.

My haiku are here.

- 朝起きる ヨガして　今日もがんばるぞ
Asa okiru yoga shite kyou mo ganbaruzo
- 昨日はね　夜更かしネットで　寝不足だ
kinou wa ne yofukasi net de nebusoku da
- 来年に　ペナンに行くよ　楽しみだ
rainen ni penang ni ikuyo tanoshimi da
Sorry that they are Japanese.

It is very fun to make Haiku.

My next vacation

I forgot to talk about my next travel.

Yes, I went to the travel agency on Saturday and paid money.

My next travel is Penang.


I had gone to Penang last year. But I couldn't go to some places and I couldn't do scuba diving.Please look at this if you want to know more.

In addition, my mother wants to go to Penang with me.

At first, I thought that I would go to Langkawi because my friends and Lizze recommend.
But I changed my mind.

I want my mother to see Penang.

Anyway, I will go to Penang with my mother on January of next year.

I can't wait for going to Penang again.

Mircrophone and cold

Hi! I am fine. But I have a cold again because I took a shower after doing Yoga on Saturday and walked for 1 hours.I was stupid. By the way, I bought a microphone and I finished setting up of Skype. I can talk by a microphone. (Fabi,thanks.Because it was a first time to talk by a microphone although I didn't finish setting up of a microphone and I couldn't hear you.I was stupid.hahaha) I will write about the travel agency and my next travel.

About women

Today is a holiday. But I have to work. So I am in my office now.

By the way, one my favorite movie was broadcasted on TV and I watched it at last night.

"All about my mother"



Have you ever seen it?

I can't explain why I like this movie well.

After watching this movie, I think about various women and lives again. One mother lost his son. She tried to find her ex husband and she met actress and nurse and her parents and her ex husband etc. But they had some troubles and one mother helped them and they helped one mother. I think that they were very good persons although they had problems about themselves.

I can't remember how many times I have watched this movie. But my feels are different after watching it. This movie keeps my trust even if I had watched it many times.

I really recommend this movie.

about George W. Bushism

I like this blog. This blog is written about George W. Bushism's comment and others.

If you look at it, you may laugh.

His comments are funny.

Before release

Today,I am very tired.

I set up some programs. But they didn't work at all. So I checked them. Then they are working now.

If they didn't work now, I will stay at the office all night.

By the way, I will go to the travel agency on this weekend. I will write about it later. I can put up with some troubles because I can imagine the beaches and oceans.

Music and Yoga

When I do Yoga at my home, I listen to one CD.

You can listen to them on this website.

I especially like a song "Mountains". The photos of CD are very beautiful. I can relax while listen to them.

You can buy a CD of Brickwerk on this web site.

I will buy them because I want to buy and present them to my friends and my family.

The movie "Death Note"

I like Japanese manga "Death Note" very much. 6 months ago, the movie "Death note" had been broadcasted. But I couldn't go to see it at that time.

But finally, I could see the moive "Death Note" at last Friday's night.

It was very good. The characters and story were very good. I like this movie very much.

If you watch the movie, you are surprised because Ryuk is same like the comic.

Do you like spaghetti?

How are you?

I am fine. I couldn't post because I have to test and prepare new services.

By the way, do you know about spaghetti code?

It is a buzzword. We sometimes use some buzzewords.

For example,
- Death march

- Debug

- GoTo etc
(Although I don't want to use GoTo. )

I am watching spaghetti code now. I didn't make it. But I have to check it because it doesn't work at all.

I like spaghetti. But I don't want to see any spaghetti code yet.haha

"Web 2.0"?

I read an interesting article about YouTube and Web 2.0. Please look at this. After releasing the services, I will write more.

Hakone and lake ashi

Today, I had prepared web servers and installed some programs on them. I didn't write about my short trip. So I want to write about it again.

I had stayed Japanese inn and left it because I wanted to go to one place.

It was Hakone. Hakone is one of Japanese place I like. There are a lot of natures(lakes, mountains,lakes,hot springs etc) and temples and museums in Hakone. So you will be able to find places where you want to go if you look at this.

In the past, I had gone to the Hakone Open-Air Museum. It was very good. But I never been to go to Hakone museum yet. I hope I go to there someday.

By the way, I got on the bus from Odawara staion and I arrived at lake ashi of Haokone at 9 am.

There are cruise ships in Lake Ashi. If you want to enjoy Pirate boat cruise, look at this.

This is a pirate boat cruise.

Then I got on other boat cruise in order to visit one shrine of the island in Lake Ashi. While getting on the boat, I could enjoy beautiful islands and others.

- the boat I got on



This is a gate of Hakone shrine.















I had gone to this place in order to attend this ceremony and pray. If you see this ceremony, you may think it is strenge. But all of them were serious. Of course me. After that, I walked around the island . There are a lot of trees and flowers. They were very good. Then I got on the boat again in order to go to Hakone shrine. I will write about it later.

Friendster

I read this. Very interesting. One decision changed the world of internet and the same chance never comes. What do you think?

Going to Odawara #1

I want to talk about my short trip of last week.

Odawara & Hakone.

I had left my office at 7 pm and got on the train to Shinagawa staion. There are many restaurants and shops in Shinagawa station. After I arrived at Shinagawa station, I took photos of food.

This is called "Uni don". Uni is expensive. Of course I like Uni.



This is called "Inari shushi".



This is called "Matsutake rice". Matsuke is a mushroom.



Then I waited for the train to Odawara. There are some of people who live in Odawara and Kamakura and work in the center of Tokyo. So people already got on the train that I had waited for. But it was not bad to stand up for 1 hour. After 1 hour, I arrived at Odawara station. In the past, I had gone to Odawara. Odawara is a famous city as Odawara castle. Please look at this if you want to know about Odawara.

Then I went to Japanese inn. It has a homey feel. After checking in, I went out to buy food and beer.

I will write about hakone later.

Healthier food to kids

I read the news about Disney. I really agree. In Japan, it is same.

What do you think about it?

Stretch myself!!!

Yesterday, I had gone to Yoga studio and enjoyed doing Yoga because I decided that I go to Yoga studio on Monday.

After doing Yoga, I read a book of Yoga at home. According to it, it is best to do Yoga after awaking up in the morning. Then I tried to do Yoga this morning. Although I done Yoga for 5 mins, it was good for my body and mind.

So I will keep doing Yoga after I get up in the morning.



This boy may do Yoga more nice than me.

The photos of Hakone and odawara

I just uploaded the photos of Hakone and Odawara. I will write about it later. Please look at this if you want to see them.

Escape from Japan

I found this news on the other blog.

I can understand their feelings and I wanted to go to America before. I knew some women left Japan and live in other countries. I really respect them. Recently, there are TV programs and news about Japanese who live in other places.

I had applied Diversity Visa Lottery several times. But I had never got them yet. I will try applying it this year. If I get it, I will go to Hawaii at once in order to enjoy feeling nature.

Selling yourself

I am thinking about my work and my life since last week.

By the way, I watched one TV program at last night. It was a TV program of England.

The title of it was "Selling yourself".

It was a documentary of job interviews. 4 people tried to get a job and they took job interviews. It was very interesting. Their characters were different. After taking job interviews, one woman could get a job.

By the way, I like taking job interviews. I think it is a good chance to check the offices and people when we take job interviews.

So I checked a office, people of companies and other when I took job interviews.

Before, I checked the rest room too.

Because it is important that the places where we spend for a lot of hours are good.

Do you like taking job interviews?

The earthquake of Hawaii

When I woke up this morning, I read the news about the earthquakes of Hawaii. Hawaii is one of the places I love. So I am worrying about it now.

After short trip

I am fine. Mike,Alex, Thank you!

I am at my home and I am very tired because I didn't sleep at all last night.

I could enjoy a short trip and I noticed that I must think about my life and dream, job.

I will write about my short trip and my job and company later.

Anyway, I really thank Mike and Alex. You made me happy. I will try to do my best!

Bad feeling

I know that working isn't always to have fun. The bad thing happened at the office. I don't know why she doesn't share with informations to us. If she shared them to us, bad thing didn't happen. I can't understand her way and her tought. She makes my feeling bad. Now, I want to quite the job and I want to cry although I am 32 years old because I don't like her terrible way.

Short trip

Today, I will go to the Yoga studio after work. Yeah, I love doing Yoga.

By the way, I had take a walk again after I had done to Yoga studio last week.

This is a building "Tokyo Opera city".



I took photos in there.

When I had lived in Hatsudai, I often went to there.

This is an Indian restaurant "Ganges" where I often went to.



I will go to there again.

I like to go to other building "Park tower".It is close to Opera city.

There are shops and restaurants in both buildings. So I sometimes enjoy going window-shopping my favorite shops "The conran shop" of Park tower. By the way, I will make a short trip tomorrow. I will write about it.
