Malfunction
Apr 13, '08 10:02 PMfor everyone
I started blogging again for the first time in three months. My first priority was to adjust new environment both in my new workplace and new land. Kokura is my hometown, but for me like who spend 26 years outside this town here is just a foreign country.
My entry 'Misperception' disappeared from my inbox. This is the second time as to the malfunction related to this journal.
My hypothesis is computer might be taking this word 'Misperception' as command.
This is a strange incident this early spring.

Easter holiday
Apr 13, '08 9:49 PMfor everyone

People must be busy spending their holiday. I can't hear from many.I myself will take a rest a while in our Golden week season from 26th of April to 6th of May though I only take three consecutive holidays from 4 to 6 of May.It is better to take a rest in this spring season. We tend to make a trivial mistake when it gets warmer in this season.

Misperception
Apr 13, '08 12:20 AMfor everyone
Many years ago I tried to carry drinking water in a car. I tried to pick one bottle of whiskey since I kept a lot of vacant bottles of whiskey in my room, but quit doing so. I chose another pet bottle instead.Because I thought it must be very confusing if someone eye witnessed my having water through whiskey bottle.Nine out of ten people understand things from their appearance, but that doesn't reflect reality well.

Violator
Apr 12, '08 2:13 AMfor everyone
I found a smoker in a prohibited area.I quit letting him notice since I found bigger violator which is a chimney in town.
They say animals and babies are not supposed to be used in commercial message. Some cell company started using a dog a year ago. Today I found a monkey used in other mobile company.
We can accept someone says we can increase convenience if we use it. But we can hardly accept someone says we can get damaged if we don't use it. However sometimes we see some commercial message that uses this negative campaign.
The price of gasoline went down from 150 yen to 130 yen. Politicians start trying to get it back to 150 yen by imposing new gasoline tax. Probably they might have thought that gasoline has to keep its price because all others are getting higher.
Moral hazard never stops.

Running reverse
Apr 12, '08 12:39 AMfor everyone

I came back to my hometown Kokura for the first time in 26 years. Then I recalled abruptly some event I saw in my elementary school.At the athletic party one pupil ran reverse in truck.With laughing.

Then I asked him why he did so.

He said he wanted to do something no one does.

Dialectic
Apr 11, '08 11:04 PMfor everyone

All the prices are higher and higher everyday. On the other hands, yen's appreciation tends to get stronger.That means we'd better buy things directly from abroad via email in the Internet.Domestic consumption will decrease whichever.

Love

It is difficult to express love. It is even more difficult for the love to be accepted.

Lesson
Apr 11, '08 10:58 PMfor everyone

Long years ago I found a very old folklore museum in a very rural fish port. I entered and enjoyed there for a while. No entrance fee was necessary.Several years later I found a newly refurbished folklore museum at the same place. It needed 2 dollars for entrance. I was not enthusiastic enough to drop in at there again paying some money.Exhibitions must have been the same. We needed to pay some money for facility.

Premise broken

Don't sit down on the floor - it's a proper suggestion when all passengers can take a seat. But it's stupid when no seat is available.

Pros and amateurs
Apr 11, '08 10:51 PMfor everyone

What are you going to say when asked what the difference between pros and amateurs? Some top pros say pros never say any excuse. I thought about it for three days. Here's my answer.Amateurs merely do their job for money to fulfill their supply. Pros often do their job not for money but for fulfilling their demand that that's what they have to do.For amateurs, job is given. For pros, job is what they found.

Hunger strike
Apr 11, '08 10:47 PMfor everyone

Soy sauce 10-17%, milk 3-10%, oil for food up 30 cent per kilogram, beer 3-5%, electricity up 72 cent, gas up 132 cent, wheat 30% so related foods like bread, noodles, confectioneries, solid curry go up too.Yen's appreciation is sharp. 1 dollar became 100 yen recently. It is hard for me to know the effect of yen's rapid appreciation.Only the price of gasoline went down from 1.5 dollar to 1.3 dollar per litre. Still very high though.

Kokura
Apr 11, '08 10:41 PMfor everyone


Kokura is not a good place to live although I spent here for twenty years in my minor. 400 thousand population, that's a medium size as a city, it is much smaller than my previous residence -Hakata that has 1 million 250 thousand.
Here I can hardly find 'culture'. All people are only busy pursuing the norm of the day. People's mind is harsh. Besides I don't like the atmosphere here. Lots of smokestack cause polluted air.
I want to move again. I will stay here for a year at longest.
