Chick, again

fortunally, i have a chance to hear the live of Chick Corea again.

today, the band was not trio, but a duo with banjo player.

i don't know well about banjo,

so i cannot say his play was good or not,

but the only thing that i can say is

that Chick's play was fantastic.

i wish there the audience known a little more about music,

not just a music, but large means.

that is because there sometimes be a scene

that some audiences destroyed the atmosphere which musicians had made...

newspaper

i'm daily reading newspaper every morning,

but if i have drunk too much the day before,

or i have something to do in the morning,

i miss to read the newspaper on the day.

there are 3 or more newspaper on the floor of my house.

i'm going to read them sooner or later, no, sooner!

firework

i went to a firework festival in Chofu city.

actually, i was not expected that the firework should not be so nice,

but once the festival started, i realized i was wrong.

the firework was so fantastic that i have ever seen.

also, there was no too many people around the space,

so i really enjoyed the time.

the only point that i was not satisfied is

that the music which should be synchlonized with the firework

was not synchlonized, to say, decreases the atnmosphere

which was built with former fireworks.

anyway, the whole feeling which i felt during the festival was FANTASTIC!

Chick

today, i went to a live at blue note tokyo.

i went to see / listen to the music of Chick Corea trio,

which was consists of Chick Corea, John Patitucci, and Antonio Sanchez.

the musica was so fantastic

that i have just to say "yah" in a loud voice...

actually, i cannot believe why others can stay cool

when listening to their music.

the stage was so fantastic,

and also the music was very cool.

i'd like to see Chick Corea's stage more times in my life.

connection

to be connected with some one is a happening.

sometimes, one leaves,

and othertime, u may meet some one another.

but it is only a happening.

i'd like to think it not just a happening,

but very important thing.

because, there comes a leaving suddenly, too.

drink, drank, drunk

these days, almost all days, i drink.

this must be no good for my lever...

i'm going to go to my boss's house.

i wish i can feel like home,

but it seems to be hopeless....

days of wine and...

today, i met a person who invited me to his band.

and we talked at a sushi restaurant.

then ate sushi, and sashimi,

then drunk japanese-sake, and wine.

i hope this kind of days should be with me...

maybe, today was a little luxuary,

but i wosh my daily life be alittle more luxuary.

and then my mind should be a little happier and...

the dream spreads more and more.

phone call

some days ago, one of my friends in hong kong came to japan,

and today, he called to me, suddenlly.

actually i have told him my phone number,

and he said that he will call to me,

but i was not prepared for that,

so once i hear an english voice from cell phone,

i was really astonished and no english phrase came out from my mouth...

speaking on the phone is very difficult,

because there u cannot see his expression from seeing him,

and also, u cannot compensate ur words with gestures.

i thought it is very good way to train english to call to some one on the phone.

java

yesterday, one of my friends asked me

to build a heap sort algorithm in java language.

but yesterday, there was a live concert

in which i my band perform,

so i started coding today midi.

it seemed kind of easy task,

but soon after i started that,

i could not correct some bug, little but critical.

some minutes later,

i noticed that was caused with the way to use some method

(i was still writing a Java code like C++ code)

i realized that it is important to be used to this kind of language...

live

today, i had a live.

this live is performed with my own big band.

i really enjoyed playing with this band,

and needless to say, i really love the members of my band.

when i finished the live,

we the members went to a bar,

and talked about 7 or more hours.

today was absolutely good day!

work

i've got up early today,

and went to the office earlier than usual.

then, finished some work which was remaining from yesterday.

then, i finished some assignments which should be done in today,

and soon after the whole training finished, i went to a concert.

i have passed today very efficiently, and enjoyed.

now, i'm very fulfilled.

tomorrow, i'm going to have a live concert of my own band.

i can sleep with no worry today.

meeting

there was a first meeting for me

in which i have assigned.

and then, i took a note for conference minutes.

in my project , usually, there is a meeting as long as 3 hours.

actually, some meetings in other projects takes 7 or 8 hours,

so it is fortunate case with me.

but taking a note for 3 hours is not easy thing,

and especially, showing some action items in the end of the meeting,

which is a rule (or decided with the account of my project),

is absolutely tough thing, i felt today.

the meeting on today continued to 21:00,

and after that, i and some of my project members have another meeting,

thus when i return home, it was 22:00...

i afraid that this IS a work,

but i hope effectively working should reduce this kind of works...

bug

today, when i just play my iPod,

the screen freezed...

had i treated iPod so badly?

or are there any bug on the software?

fortunally, when i connect the iPod with my PC at home,

but i'm afraid about happening this phenomena again...

electronics are difficult thing.

irritated

today, i was so irritated with one of my friends in company.

these days, we new hired finished trainig,

and started On-the-Job-Trainig.

so actually, we are not contributing to company,

and still creating nothing.

then, today, we had a meeting with members

who belong to the project which i assigned.

and the meeting was extended, so we had overtime job.

then, one of my friends said about if the overtime wage.

but i think, we were jus joining the meeting,

and we are less usefull than notepads or pencils.

so, i was kind of irritated during listening his moaning.

i decided to be a person who can work effectively.

china

the title means not the country name,

but a bowl made from clay.

about 2 monthes ago,

i went a trip to Izu-Kogen,

and then, i made some china,

(china making experience)

then, it was burned and sent to

one of the member's house,

so i and some members who gent to Izu together

assembled to one of the member's house.

it was more real than i have expected.

so i'd like to use one when i have beer,

because i've made a mug to drink something

crash

today, when i returned to home,

i found that the vase of a plant was broken outside the window.

i have put it on the wall of my house,

but there is not balanced enough

when it is windy day.

i was very shocked to find it

because the plant has been growing up very quickly

so i'm going to buy new vase tomorrow.

mmmh, today seems to be not good day.

post birthday

today, some of my friends had a party for my birthday.

actually, my birthday was 6 days before,

but that day, i had something to do,

so the party was postponed to today.

then, i was taken to the restaurant

in which almost all the menu include garlic!

and the special menu paella,

which cannot be orderd without reservation,

was so delicious that i was fully satisfied.

and then, they gave me some presents.

they were so distict goods,

but one of them was so curious.

it was 屋久杉栽培キット.

with this kit, u can grow up a Yakusugi ceder.

but reading the instruction, there was the phrase below,

it takes 3 or 4 years to grow up one seed to a little tree,

then u can make Bonsai with it

and there was another phrase,

u have to give water everyday,

especially in summer, u have to give two times a day

...

it seems a long long way that i can see the Bonsai with Yakusugi ceder

hokkaido

today, i ate some deliciouc foods from Hokkaido

because one of my friends have took them from his home town

(his home town is Sapporo, one of the biggest city in Hokkaido)

and also, i brought sea eal from Hamanako.

this night was a gourmet night,

and i was so fulfilled with them.

these days, i really feel

that i'm so happy to be friends with many of my friends now.

business

in the project which i've assigned in the department,

we will deal with some companies which is placed in Nagoya.

because of it, i'm going to have a first business journey in mid of Oct. for Nagoya

and it remains for 3 to 5 days, so i will stay at Nagoya during weekdays.

it seems a little hard to me now, but also very exciting.

i'm going to do my best to distribute to our team members,

and also grow myself.

wedding

today, i received a mail,

that invites me to a wedding party at Kobe.

the two who is to marry is eldermen\mber of my circle in univ,

so i'm so happy to hear that they are to marry.

also, it is the first time that i receive a inviting mail formally

(i've already received some, but they were from my cousin, or some of my familliar friend,

so i've never received such kind of mail)

i'm looking forward to joining the party although it is 3 months later.

useless

yesterday was my first day after assignment,

but there was no task there, so substantially,

today was the first day to do something in my office.

i was told by my mentor, who takes care of me for one or less year,

to read some paper for a project which i will join on Oct.

but before reading that, i was told to make a plan.

i was just finished the training about making plan using TOR,

but i couldn't notice about writing one.

i was so disappointed with me...

on the job, it is usual thing and expected thing

to make documents for any little activity, i have noticed by making faillure today.

i'm going to think about it before everything.

pythagoraswitch

today, i have talked with one of my friends about a voyage.

we talked about the event during the voyage,

and once, we have talked about Pythagoraswitch,

we were so motived with it, and imagined about making our original architecture.

i'm still imagining which system should be more fantastic.

sooner or later, i'd like to buy DVD of Pythagoraswitch.

birthday

today is my birthday.

today is very joyous day in China, i heard.

*****

today, i went to the concert produced by Mr. Children.

it was SO COOOOOOL.

every time i go to their live, i notice one thing.

that music is not only a sound, but it includes staging and any other techniques.

even if their sound should be really good thing,

everyone canot notice the value of the sound if the stagin is not good enough.

two weeks later, i have one live which is performed by my own band.

i really suppose that i should prepare for the MC same as music.

filled with rehearsal

today was so busy, no, so fulfilling day.

'cause, i had three rehearsals, one is my own band,

and second is the combo that i have just started a month before,

and the last one is a bigband with many eldery people than me.

when i think of the h\last one band,

i really feel that encounter is not accident, but certainty.

and then, a theory come up to my thought.

that is Planned Happenstance Theory.

this theory means that people who succeeds always say that they are doing usually things,

and they are doing no special efforts,

but in spite of these words, they are ALWAYS doing their best to realize their dream.

i supose that this way of thinking is very encouraging,

and also reminds me that usual effort is VERY important.

farewell?

today, i have a farewell party with my companies.

that is because we will be announced about our assignments,

and then, some of my frineds should go to west area of japan.

so, i and some of my friends missed this party,

and we talked until there comes the last train.

there MUST be some encounters, and same numbers of farewells.

we human should be grown up with each encounter, and farewell, i think.

Typhoon

Today, there comes a typhoon in japan.

This typhoon is called fitow, which means the name of flower.

Do you know how these typhoons are named?

From 2000, typhoons which appeared around Japan is named following this rule.

I have never heard about this rule.

By the way, today, I have planned to meet one of my friends,

but I've heard that thetyphoon fitow is approaching to Japan,

and it will land on Japan on midnight,

so we hesitated the wind and rain, and postponed to meet to next week.

I hope that there are no typhoon next week.

(Actually, I wish the typhoon to go away on this Saturday,

because I have so many things to do on this Saturday,

and I have to move so many times...)

MECE

Today, had a training about proposition techniques.

Because of that there are tradition in my company,

there are some tools that makes propositions easy.

some of them should be restricted to my company,

but there also be some that should be common.

One of them is MECE, and another is Why So? / So What.

First one is well known for collecting elements for discussion,

which stands for Mutually Exclusive / Collectively Exhaustive.

And the other is used for prooving the consistency between two things.

I practiced these techniques today and trained for actual proposition.

It was very difficult, and very confusing,

but once this way of thinking realized,

the logic of thinking becomes very clear, it is so interesting.

I'd like to apply these techniques in many situations that needs logicality.

habit

these days,

i've used to do everything with habit.

this makes my brain and myself idle.

so, i decided to do something new.

then, first of all,

i started to write my blog entry in english,

and restart studying for an exam in next month.

hoping that this could be the start of something big
