Tokyo Tower

I think the best book that I had read in last year is "Tokyo Tower". 東京タワー Before I went to Penang,I bought it because I had to get on the plane for hours.When I got on the train or plane,I can't stop reading it because the story was very good.While I was reading it,I shed tears. This book is a true story.The author "Lily Franky" wrote his family.He was born in Kyusyu of Japan and grew up in there.At first,he had living with his parent and grandmother together for 3 years since he was born.But when he was a child,he live with his mother. They had been living together for years.His mother was very cute and kind mother and she loved her son deeply. After years,He left his hometown in order to study in the college. But his mother had a ill and he lived with her in Tokyo.Althought she had been in Kyusyu,she enjoyed the Tokyo's life.Many people loved her because she was a very kind woman. But her ill was worst and she died for cancer. I couldn't stop shedding tears while reading the last of story.After finish reading this book,I deeply feel my parent are very important.And I would like to do something for my parent. I hope that many people read this books "Tokyo Tower". The reason of the title "Tokyo Tower" is that they saw it in her room of the the hospital.

Lovely cat!

I went to the favorite Japanese pub "Orench" at night! And then I ate a lot of foods and dranks a little with my friends. My friends live in the place near "Orench".I envy them! I have some reasons that I love there. The first reason is that there are delicious foods and drinks. Especially,I think seafoods and vegetables foods are very nice! In fact,there is an aquarium in front of "Orench". The owner buys special seafoods every day from the market. And he puts those into the aquarium. The second reason is that the owners of "Orench" are very friendly and their service are very fantastic. The last reason is that I can meet their cat.I think that last reason is very important to me.I rent my house and so I can't have any animals in my house.But I love cats! So when I visit "Orench",I can't stop hugging the cat.Unfortunately,I couldn't take phots of the cat.If I live in the place near "Orench",I think I would go to "Orench" every day.

going on a diet with eating Miso soup

I recently wrote the article about breakfast on this blog.I wrote that I have a breakfast.But now,I try to have a breakfast since on Monday.I have a reason that I decided to have a breakfast since I watched the program on TV. The name of the program is "Aru Aru daijiten".This program is about health. According to the program,When American people eat Miso soup as breakfast,They could lose their weight! They eat only macrobiotics foods and they can lose their weight with eating macrobiotics foods.It is said that macrobiotics foods are brown rice,vegetable,soy beans,Miso etc. Those were Japanese food and old Japanese people have eaten those in the past. I knew macrobiotics foods and I usually try to eat those.In the fact,people ate Miso soup as breakfast and so they could their weight!They could lose at least 1 Kg for a week. It is said that Miso and Soy milk are fat-burning food.In adittion,They are said that they burn more calories. And so people eating those can lose their weight simply. Many of Japanese recently don't drink Miso soup ,because Miso soup contains many salt and it is bad to take many salt. Although I didn't drink Miso soup, I am drinking Miso soup as breakfast since the day I watched this program.There are many type of Miso in Japan. According to the program, red type of Miso is nice in the morning and white type of Miso is nice in the night. When I cook Miso soup,I boil water with frozen Tofu "Kouya Dofu" and some seaweed "Wakame". After 3 mins,I put red type of Miso into the pan. It is very easy to cook Miso soup. Will I be able to lose my weight? About miso is here

"Zenikin" - The man living in the mountain

"Zenikin" is one of the TV programs I love. This program is very funny! Because funny people appear on this program. They are very poor and save money to live.But it isn't serious because they enjoying saving money. Sometimes,I was surprised that I could not to do if I were him or her. In the past,I watched that the man living in the mountain appeared on this program.I envied his life because there are beautiful mountains and rivers around his house. When the sun rises up,he get up and have a breakfast. And he goes out to do rafting or swimming in the river. When he get tired,he goes home and take a rest. After taking a rest,he go out to get food. There are many vegetables that we can eat. Neighbours sometimes give eggs or meats etc to him. In stead of taking foods,he helps neighbour to repair their furniture and houses etc. After having a lunch or dinner,He does what he wants to do. At night,He goes out to prepair the hotspring and takes a bath. He can take a bath seeing beautiful night view! I think he can his time and decide what to do.Well,I have to leave my office. Of course,I will watch "Zenikin" tonight.

I don't know what I'm doing now.

Finally,I could finish doing testing of one program. When did I start doing testing of this program? I would not like to remember that. But when I finish doing testing of programs,I think that there are not QA engineers in my office. Because they don't know about development of web program. So I have to do testing about security. It is very hard to do testing all by myself. I think it is only in my case. It is very important to find security holes ,recently. Luckily,I had not to do testing like now at all before I joined the current company. Because there are many QA engineer who had high skills and some tools in ex company. But now,I wonder if I am a web engineer while I do testing programs. If I had to do testing all of cases,I would like to use some tools when I will do testing. At least,Bugzilla. It is for free!

bottle cap figure

When I go to the covenient shops,I can't stop buying plastic bottled drinks with the bottle cap figure. Then I bought the bottled drinks and I drank to get the bottle cap figures. Sometimes I gave drinks to my family because I can't drink . When I found the nice bottle cap figure ,I collected those. Especially I like the bottle cap figures of 'adidas' sneakers because I love 'adidas'.When I had collected these,it was very hard to collect all types of sneakers. Because the cap bottle figure was packaged ,so I couldn't know what kind of sneaker it is. When I find the new bottle cap of figures,I sometimes buy them.

In japan,it is very famous and the animation 'The girl of Alps' played on TV when I was a child. It is common that the bottle cap figures is sold on the auction of net in Japan. like this

In this morning,I wake up at 5 am because I was hungry. This was out of common to me.I usually don't have a breakfast. But today was different. After getting up ,I went to the kitchen and looked for some food. Finally I found soy beans 'natto' and brown rice. Then I ate them. After eating them,I couldn't sleep. So I gave up sleeping and then I read the book 'The abduction of 99%'. 'The abduction of 99%' was written by Futari Okajima. They are very famous writers and there are their many books in the book stores. 'The abduction of 99%' is thriller. While I had been reading it for 1 hours,I felt asleep and so I went to bed at once. After 2 hours,I waked up again. I went to bed as I wanted to sleep more. Honestly,I wanted to take a holiday today. But I didn't and went to office. Anyway,I am very tired now.Why? I think that today is last half of a week.

Trouble of networking

I decided to leave my office as soon as it will be 6 pm today. Yesterday my boss had taken a holidays but I couldn't leave my office early. Yesterday I had to check the setting of IIS because some coworkers couldn't see the website of new server that I had prepared. Although I had checked the setting of IIS,it was right. The reason of it was networking. Engineers can access all servers but other's pc deny them by IP address. So they can't access the new server. After work,I will go to the library to return books. Then I will go to the book store.

The living price of Tokyo

I live in Tokyo for a long time. I sometimes feel that the living price of Tokyo is higher than foreign countries. Especially when I go to travel. The news said that the living price of Tokyo is 2nd in the world,but it was 1st for 14 years. And the news said that living price of Oslo in Norway is 1st ,Osaka and Kobe's living price are 4th this time. When I had gone to travel,I always buy some cosmetics and clothes. Because everything was very expensive in Japan. Recently,I sometimes buy those when I go to travel. I can use the internet and buy things which prices are lower than Japanese shops. And now,when I go to travel,I only enjoy doing travel. I don't need to bring the heavy bags when I go back to travel.

New Japanese Social Networking Service '3zai.com'

I found the new Japanese service '3zai.com' that is called 'Social Netowork Service'(SNS). This Japanese site 'Sanzai' means to spend money. I think it is an interesting site.Because members of this site keep their household account books on the net. And we can watch their household account books and vote their good shopping. Then they can watch the ranking lists. ・cool expense ranking ・saving ranking ・popular articles ・popular shops ・popular areas ・prices of popularity Of cource,I am member of this site '3zai.com'. Because I would like to save money and I would like to watch how other people spend money. Then I can look for the person who is interested in the same thing so that a household account book is connected in an article and the shop which oneself purchased,and there is a merit to be able to discover a local new shop.
