Theme

I'm now thinking about this blog. These days, the topics on this blog is too various genre, and sometimes I realize that there is no specific thing to write.

When I started to write blog, I wrote review on newly released CDs. And after that, I started to upload photos around me, which include seasonal things.

I think, when you post something on the web, the content should include something useful for the readers.

If you just want to explain your thought, you don't need blog and twitter or kind of things can be the substitute.

Now, I'm looking for the reason why I express myself on the web. There are huge amount of information, like a flood. Even in this situation, if you express something in the world of Internet, you need some reason for being there, or the topics becomes garbage.

As a result, the question what to write on the blog becomes the question why you exists here. Do you know the answer? No one knows.

Time flies

A proverb says, time flies like an arrow.

And in Japan, the old name of the month December is Shiwasu, it consists of two characters; one is Shi, means teacher, and the other is Haseru, means running. As a results, the two characters means teacher run about because of his business, and it indicates that December is as busy as that teacher run about, and it also means that December passes so fast.

Now I have many things to do within this year. I have to schedule carefully, or I would loose the chance just running about.

Box

Early Christmas

Fault

When there is some failure because of the difference of the environment, and any another things that you can hardly notice, is it your fault?

I don't want to accept it as my fault, but sometimes it is said that lack of your knowledge is your fault.

But how can I notice that I don't know something? The only answer is just continue studying / learning.

Scone?

Chestnut

Today, I had a lesson of cooking.
And cooked chestnut sweet, called Kuri Kinton.
The chestnut was special one, so it was absolutely nice even it was just mushed and smoothed.
It was so happy hour.

The day before holiday

I like to stay up late in the day before weekend or holiday.
There are plenty of time and you don't have to care of tomorrow's work.
But staying up too late wastes my time of the day after for sleeping.
Everything should be kept in appropriate range.

What I cannot stop

The things which effects our body, brain and other parts is mostly comfortable, tastes good or something toxic.
That should be because that people goes to the easy ways.
The only exception is Work. There is a word workaholic. I don't know the mechanism of being toxic to working. Money? Status? Or any other things?

Sweets, macrobiotic

Today's breakfast was macrobiotic sweets, apple compote and tarte tatin.
Usually, these kind of sweets taste, especially post-taste, too sweet.
But this time, they didn't taste the sweet sticky feeling at all.
I think that is because the ingredient doesn't include white sugar but include another thing, like agave syrup or the kind.
There are so amazing, but interesting things with macrobiotic.

Credit

It is hard to obtain someone's credit, it is very easy to loose it.

Satisfaction

What is the factor on your satisfaction?

Sleep? Food? Hobby? Work?

I believe that the happiness of someone satisfies you the most.

Boring

When you assume something as boring, the reason should be inside you.

That should be because of lack of your knowledge, or your way of thinking.

Every feelings are came out from yourself, so every negative feelings are crystalized from part of yourself.

You can change your feelings by noticing that.

Coat

Today, I started to wear a coat in weekdays, with suits.

Last year and before, I haven't wear coats until January. There is no reason but just I could endure the coldness in winter. But this year, I couldn't bear, and pick up one from the closet.

Actually, my weight has lowered a little this year. But I supposed that I came to be weakened to the environmental change. I don't know the reason is just staying inside and don't do any sports, or taking age...

Anyway, I have quit jogging since this April, this is true.

Sooner or later, I should restart jogging.

Comic

These days, there are some opportunity to read comics. Actually, I rarely read comics, because there are so many books that I want to read and I haven't finished yet.

But reading comics, this is like watching a movie, and some of them are so dynamic, dramatic and filled with messages, and mostly the episode comes into our heart directly, following our ideal story.

Now, I'm going to start reading another comic tonight...

Shirasu rice bowl

Today, I had Shirasu rice bowl, rice bowl with whitebait.

Shirasu is one of the famous food around Enoshima, Shonan.

But today's one is so special because there are two different whitebait, dried one and raw one. Mh, so delicious!

Natto

Natto, fermented soy, traditional food in Japan.

I don't like the smell, and even who like this taste, most people don't like this smell.

Once I have heard that the smell of Natto comes from the case, made with plastic.

Originally, Natto have been fermented covered with straws, and that don't smell at all.

So, I tried the one with straw, today.
I realized that the smell is absolutely decreased compared with usual one, with plastic case.

But one problem us that each of the soy beans are sticky with the straws, and it is quite difficult to put the Natto out from straws.

Comparing the smell and convenience, I'll choose the convenience...

Photo and balance

Once, I have read in a magazine about the composition technique.

The article says that dividing the canvas into 3 parts, or place one object as 1 third size.

I don't know why this makes the photo balanced, but it is certainly stable and very balanced composition, I thought.

Also, this is also important for art to place "blank" in the piece. Sometimes, we afraid that there is blank space, but this is very important not to place unnecessary things and keep necessary space.

The same thing is applied to the music. Silence makes the sound after silence stands out. As the gap becomes larger, the existing thing stands out more.

There are many things that seems to be trivial and unnecessary but potentially essential and important.

Mandarine

Today, I went to the hotel Mandarine Oriental, for a seminar of ERM., enterprise risk management.

Actually, I've been here about 2 months ago, for a sue diligence meeting. Same as that time, during the coffee break time, I could find some snacks with coffee there.

And today, even this was just second time, I thought that I'd like to stay at this hotel as a customer.

Pointer

Today, I have implemented a program with VBA.

Then, I tried to use array as a return of one function, but I've found I couldn't.

Then, realized that in case of C or C+, I used to use pointer, and also in the case of Java, I use constructer, and in the case of C#, I use iterator.

This reminded me of the mind I programer. Today, I was reminded that I'm happy that I've experienced, studied programing in various languages.

Half understood

This is the most dangerous thing that we assume that we understood something.

In case of that, people think that they understood that without any reason and they don't act to know about it more.

A famous philosopher said, "I know that I don't know".

Also, knowing something also includes various meaning; just heard about it, understood it and experienced it.

Maybe, our recognition, or belief should be the most dangerous and not credible thing.

Wooden shelf

Wedding

Today was one of my best friends' wedding party.

He is a member of my band, and we have been playing together for about 6 or more years.

And today, I had played with him at the after party of wedding. Also, I have in charge of the party facilitator, so I have planned and prepared for many things, such as planning schedule, sharing information, etc.

After the party, I have received a present from him, actually I and 2 more friends was the facilitator, too. And three of us have got the same bag.

At home, after coming back from the party, when I opened the bag, I found the contents was a pants, with very sexy drawing. I was very surprised, but also thought that the present was how he is, and laughed.

Today I've got so warm and happy feeling.

Base cafe

Today, I'm coming to an event at base cafe, Kichijoji.

This event is related to the release on one book; Recipe of Vegetables.

Here, you can enjoy various kind of dishes, and all the dishes are made with vegetables, not with animal protein.

And today, I could enjoy so many kinds of dips, such as balsamic vinegar, pumpkin seed, peanut butter, basil taste, and so on.

As for all the dishes I enjoyed today, their recipes are included in the book.

Now, I imagine that I'm tasting them at home, wonderful!

Dislike someone?

Yes, I have one colleague whom I dislike. Honestly saying, I don't dislike himself, but I dislike his action and way of thinking.

Maybe, the reason why I dislike him is that his approach to do various things are so different from that of mine. And there should be people who agree with him and like him.
But as for myself, it wasn't.

Actually, I tend to judge whether the person is enemy of not at a glance.

But I believe that my intuition or first impression is mostly correct, of course not 100 percent, but near.

Now I'm looking for the way how not to dislike person. But this is opposite way of thinking that judging person with first impression. Do I have to change my belief one hundred eighty? Probably, I need aufheben in order to beat myself.

"No", the traditional musical in Japan.

Yesterday, I went to see the No to the National No-gaku theater.

It was so difficult to understand the show. But I'd like to try more times.
