convenient

these days,

i go to convenience stores very often.

that is because

that i am going to business trip every week,

and during the trip,

almost every breakfast and dinner is managed in convenience store.

unfortunately, i have no time to go out to have dinner...

so i know almost all items in the convenience store next to the hotel.

the only thing with this occation is

that i can buy the seasonal things.

mmh, but i want to go out to dinner.

mockup

this week i'm acomplishing some tasks.

that is called screen mockuping.

during this task,

u make (draw) some screens of the system,

and present how the system acts.

it is written in html,

so i have thought that this is kind of easy tasks,

but actually,

the former engineer made the screen with complexed codes,

with many lines of java scripts.

i have not used to java script...

i have to study about it until this friday, oops.

from mobile

i noticed that i can update my blog

by mailing from mobile.

i'm gonna utilize this function.

the only thing that i'm being annoyed is

that i cannot ensure the appearance

on pc display.

anyway this way for updating my blog

makes my updating operation easier.

workaholic?

Today, I could be home on 7:00 pm, fortunately.

Then, I feel kind of guilty feeling,

Even I have finished my tasks.

I thought, that I'm being used to busy life,

and felt the adaptability of human is such a powerful thing.

cake

Today, I had meal twice,

breakfast, and dinner.

And also, I had cake two times,

after breakfast, and dinner.

What a strange day.

Anyway, I was fulfilled.

hakone

I'm comming to Hakone.

This year, the colored leaves cannot see in Tokyo

even it is November now,

Also, the leaves are not fully colored in Hakone,

but some are beautifully colored.

I enjoyed the atmosphare of autumn a little.

meeting

During the meeting, my project members are always said

that we have to make better slids.

It includes, the mapping of objects,

and the nuance of the phares and so on.

I don't have presentation now,

but once it started,

I have to remind these kind of things, I thought.

cd

Yesterday, I forgot to buy a CD.

The artist is Mr. Children, one of my favorite musicians on pops.

I have no time to buy CD,

and I noticed that I've forgot to buy today.

So I'd like to buy one on this weekend.

fiscal year

The fiscal year of my company starts on November.

So I had to write a travel report today.

But I was too busy to write it,

and When I started reporting that,

it was 23:45!

I was very irritated with the slow network of my room in hotel.

Finally, I could finish reporting.

I thought I had to start such things...

discovery

I have a little discovery today.

That is that I can buy my dinner in some receipts.

During my business trip,

I can receive as much money as I paied on my dinner.

I'm going to buy many snacks on convenience stores.

Nagoya, again.

Today, I'm comming to Nagoya for business trip.

I was given a mount of task today.

And also I have to build the network of my project room,

and reinforce the security and so on...

This week seems to be more busy than last week...

orange

Today, I'm still in Izu.

As I hoped, it is a sunny day.

The sky is blue, and the sea is more deep blue.

I and my friends went to pick up the orange.

This picture is taken during that.

izu

I come to Izu with my friends this weekend.

Unfortunately, a tyfoonis comming to Izu now.

As I afraided, the weather is wildering,

and driving a car was very defficult.

Finally, the weather comes to be carm.

I wish it will be fine tomorrow.

meeting

the meetingwhich had today was

as long as 4 hours...

the people in my project are not bad people,

but they tend to do things

with long term.

i think, consentrating and finishing firstly

makes their work easier...

cold

unfortunately,

i caught a cold today...

i have hard headache.....

i'd like to go hotel as fast as i can,

and sleep well.

networking

i had a chance to configure a network of our project room.

actually, i used Windows Server (it was ordered, not my opinion)

so the setting and configuration was not difficult,

but there was some trouble,

such as Japanese file name was not accepted with some software, and more

so i could finish all of that on 8:00 pm.

i cannot say Windows is EASY...

nagoya

business trip to nagoya, again.

first day for this week was,

almost the same as before.

no, more busy than last week.

i had ordered to make a list,

it was picking up some elements from a souce file,

and translate the instruction.

i'm not good at english, so i was very annoyed.

i wish i can go to hotel before 12:00 tomorrow

noodle

last month, one famous noodle restaurant opened near my house.

the name of the restaurant is Taishoken.

in the restaurant, u can increase the amount of noodle.

today, i had many accidental things during working,

so i was a little irritated.

thus, i ordered the increased amount.

it was triple amount of regular amount...

first, when i saw that, i afraided that i cannot finish,

but finally, i could eat all of them.

but i don't want it again...

exam

i had an exam to take a license,

which is recommended for system engineer.

actualy, i had no time to study for this exam this month,

so i couldn't prepare enough.

in spite of this situation,

i could answer alnmost all the questions,

i'm not sure that i could pass the exam,

anyway, the exam was over,

and i can concentrate on my job.

... i'm happy ...

sukiyaki

the title not means the song title,

but real Sukiyaki.

i went to eat sukiyaki at Imahan,

the most popular sukiyaki restaurant in Japan.

the taste was really delicious,

and also, the service was also absolutely good.

i'd like to go there again in my life.

meeting

i had a chance to say in the meeting today.

because, my boss was too busy to attend to the meeting,

and another boss talked about the topic which he had to talk.

then, one of customer asked a question,

it was really bad one, it must tried to guess if we know well about it,

fortunately, the topic was which i researched,

so i could answer the question.

i wish there should be this kind of chances again.

udon

i'm comming to Nagoya this tuesday by business travel,

but i haven't ate popular Nagoya food,

so i decided to eat one of them today.

in the tower which our office placed,

there is one restaurant which serves one of popular Nagoya food, Nabeyaki Udon.

i went to the restaurant today.

it was absolutely good!

but the amount was a little too much.

i'd liketo go there more and more times.

talk

i had a meeting with customers

whom our project relates.

almost all of them talks in very small voice.

i cannot take a note of them.

in spite of that,

i had a welcome3 party today, too.

and talked with them, again.

they talked in really loud voice,

(actually, their talk was not interesting,..)

i'd like them to talk loudly at the meeting...

annoying

I'm very annoying today.

One of my task is a little difficult.

It seems easy,

but actually it is very difficult.

because, my boss who game me the task

doesn't understand what to do well,

and the customer who gave my boss the task

doesn't understanding that, too.

I'm really irritated today.

I'd like to finish this task,

and to be free from it...

pachira

my pachira is becomming bigger and bigger.

last month, i replaced it to new pot,

because it seems not able to strength the root.

then, it is growing up.

but since this week,

i will go to business trip during weekday,

and i cannot give water to it.

this is one of the biggest problem with my business trip.

wii

i played wii today.

it was so exciting,

and also, one who is not used to play computer games can play it.

i want one.

i wish someone were present it to me.

bread

today, i had a party at my home.

and i cooked many diches.

also, i baked a carrot bread with home bakery.

i become really happy

when someone who eat my cooked dishes says

that they are pretty delicious.

but when i am too busy,

i stop cooking, and my wits of cooking becomes no good.

i want to continue cooking when i have a time.

spaghetti

i absolutely like spaghetti,

actually, one of my favorite restaurant is KAMAKURA Pasta.

today, i went to the restaurant.

fortunally, one of this restaurant is near my house,

and i can go there in 5 minutes.

i always become happy when i go to this restaurant,

and feel that it is miracle that i moved to this place.

live

i had a live today.

today's live was performed as "vivid miggy 3 + 1"

actually, my performance was not good,

i'd like to be able to represent my feeling

on a tone and the pharases as i want.

++++++++++

one musician, whom i cannot remember his name,

said a great quote,

music must be beautiful

account

i'm now changing many settings

which are services based on my own email address in my home.

i thought it is not convenient

that i cannot view mails during business trip.

during this process,

i noticed how many accounts i have to achieve some services.

i think, i have to manage these services on just one mail account.

wine

today, i had a dinner at Ginza.

this is because i had a meeting with a great pianist,

Toshiko, AKIYOSHI.

she was selected to a Jazz Master this year.

and she is fond of wine, so a member in my band arranged

to meet with her and have a dinner and wine.

it was so great time, and also, pretty good dinner and wine.

i have never tasted such a delicious wine.

i'd like to go to this kind of restaurant in a future.

brunch

on a holiday,

get up a little later than usual.

and have a brunch.

how luxrious it is.

yokohama

i had a live at yokohama,

where there is a festival, called Yokohama Jazz Promnade.

during this festival, u can see and listen jazz music

everywhere in yokohama.

the live was at the dock yard,

under the yokohama landmark tower.

the wind was so strong that almost all scores cannot be placed

on the music stand without clips or tape.

sometimes, my scores are to fly awasy,

so i had to place the score with many and many tapes.

the last number which our band played was called "wind machine",

during playing this number, the wind was too strong,

that one of my friends said to me "ur play was the real wind machine!"

ginza

i had a dinner with one of my friend, today.

the dinner was at Ginza.

i cannot feel like home in this place,

because many people seems to live in different part from my place,

and also, many buildings seems too luxuly...

i wonder if the day comes or not when i can feel like home in this place...

customer

i had a meeting with a customer company today.

needless to say, it was my first time to go to see customer.

i was very nervous, but busy for taking a note,

but actually, i cannot understand many words

which my boss and customers talking about,

so i really felt that i have to study, and know about many things,

this business field, engineering, and many things.

there r a long way to be a business man...

Rome was not buit in a day

business trip

today, i had my first business trip to Nagoya.

i have passed Nagoya for transfering for many times,

but i had visited Nagoya and sight saw only 2 times.

so, i was looking forward to this trip,

but actually, i had no time to see around Nagoya today.

i was just in the office and did some tasks for project.

i hope that i had some time to walk around tomorrow, after work.

OCUP

today, i had a examination.

it is called OCUP, stands for

OMG-Certified UML Professional Program.

briefly speaking, it is a license for UML technologist.

i have never studied about UML before,

but during studying this,

i was very interested in this logical system.

fortunally, i had passed this exam,

but i'm going to continue studying UML.

busy, but not busy

these days, i often feel i am busy,

but actually, i can finish work (correctly say, it is a training) on 17 or a little later.

so, i wonder what makes me so busy.

today, i noticed one thing about myself.

it is that i often feel busy if there are something to do with responsibility

or something which i do for the first time.

this week, i have a business trip, which is my first trip.

i'd like to be carm if there are something strange with me.

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

実は、その偶然は、

必然である、

という理論。

というのも、

その偶然は、

その人が、日常に、

努力をして、築き上げてきたものによって、

生み出されるものだから。

偶然は、作れる。

lesson

昨日の今日ですが、

ソロの、指南を受けてきました。

"間違った音なんてない"

名言でした。

やはり、

安カ川さんは、最高です。

session

相変わらず

ソロの苦手な自分に、

嫌気がさします。

とはいえ、

以前よりは、

雰囲気を読めるようになったのではないか、と

思ってみる、今日この頃でした。

beer

ご当地ビール、というのは、

おいしい反面、

高い。

限定ビールは、

値段はあまり変わらない反面、

味も変わらない。

しかし、

北海道限定、SAPPORO Classicは、

なかなかいけてました。

とりよせてみようかしら。

hakodate

フランス語で、

函館をつづるときには、

Hakodatéと、

書くそうです。

ambitious

北海道の、大地は、

広かった。

しかし、

暑かった。

genre

今日、改めて、

分類、というものの、あいまいさに、気づかされました。

同じ音楽を聴いても、

環境の違う人間にとっては、

違うタグ付けがなされるものであり、

まったく違うものに、分類される、ということを、

身をもって、感じました。

summer vacation

夏休みです。

初日は、家でゆっくりとしてみました。

明日からは、

また、忙しい毎日が始まります。

やはり、忙しい生活が、好きなのです。

and on and

ミスドがはじめたカフェ、

andonandに行ってきました。

お店の雰囲気や、完全分煙になっているのがよかったです。

ドーナツは、ドーナツプラントを意識した感じで、

とはいっても、ミスドが母体になっているだけに、

一口食べて、ミスドの味を感じました。

こっちのほうが自分にとって親しめる味だった、というのが、

正直な感想です。

とはいえ、

コーヒーの類が、

微妙な価格帯、かつ、味も中途半端。

おしい、感じです。

bluetooth

車載ヘッドフォンと、

携帯とを、

Bluetoothでつなげるというのを、

初めて、体験しました。

おもしろい。

Bluetooth、なかなかやるな。

logical communication

論理性とは、

相手からの見え方で、決まるもの。

だから、

事実と、基準と、判断と、

それらすべては、

相手に、理解されて、初めて

論理的であると認められるもの。

独りよがりな論理性は、

意味を成さない、と、

今日、改めて、実感しました。

insurance

友人の勧誘で、

保険に関する話を、聞いてきました。

今の世の中の、

保険の仕組みから、

金儲けの仕組み、

そして、

ライフプランにいたるまで、

広い範囲の、

話をしてきまいた。

やはり、

頭のいい人間と話すのは、

楽しいですね。

suān là tāng

酸辣湯を、いただきました。

酸味が強いというより、

レモングラスが、香辛料として入っていて、

タイを思い出させる味でした。

四川料理も、

本場で、食べてみたいものです。

takoyaki

駅前の、

たこ焼きバーで、

友人との、

飲み会。

ベルギービールと、

たこ焼きという、

なんとも不思議な組み合わせですが、

これがまた、

おいしいのです。

また、行きます。

SISP

社内の

ビジネス文書の

書き方を

学びました。

とはいえ、

こういうことは、

現場で、触れながら学ぶことが、

一番の近道じゃないかな、と思う

今日この頃です。

live!!!

miggyさんと、粕谷さんと、

ピアノトリオの、

ライブ。

今日、本番前に2時間しかあわせていない割には、

よくできたほうだとは思うけれど、

自分の、リズムの甘さと、

いざというときに、ひるんでしまう、

精神的弱さが、露呈した、ステージでした。

課題はたくさん。

一つずつ、こなしていこう。

firework

厚木の、花火を、

観てきました。

花火を、

はかない美しさと、

華やかな美しさの、

両面から、

楽しんできました。

そして、

花火を見ながらの

ビールは、

やはり、最高でした。

negotiation

交渉術を、

学びました。

論理的な、話術を、

学びました。

うまく、話をまとめられれば、

面白いのですが、

常にアンテナを張り巡らせて、

話の方向性を自分の持って行きたい方向に向かせるのが、

難しい。

今後、

努力していくべき点の、

一つです。

frank

同期の中で、

最も親しい友人と、

語り合いました。

現状への不満、

今抱いている不安、

などなど。

自分と同じような、

不満を抱えている人がいると知って、

少しだけ、安心しました。

speed

最近、

自分の生活に、

勢いが、

足りない気がします。

きっと、

不満を抱えているだけで、

それを、昇華しようとしていないからなのかな、と

思ってみる、

今日この頃です。
