After nine days off

I took nine days off till last sunday. It was technically four days off, but I was able to take nine days off including holidays. I did intentionally nothing except reading books. I read six books although I thought I could read more.

I also listed up what I should do next week. I realized that I was not recently studying pure programming skills trough the listing. I am programming everyday, but it is just an outputing of my skills. My vacation was worth enough to recognize the necessity of input.

MPK

I've used a passometer known as manpokei (万歩計) in Japanese since last week. My passometer says I walk about 6,500 steps a day in average. The literal meaning of manpokei is "10,000 steps meter". So it puts pressure on me to walk more 3,500 steps a day.

Should I get off the previous station of my station when going home?

Wedding party in geek style

I attended at the Wedding party of my coworker. She is a geek, but I realized her groom was much more geek. Ah no, let's say he was a nerd. He loves trains, idols, comics, games and of course computer.

I have to admit I really enjoyed such a geeky wedding party. It was my first experience that I got their original comic book as a gift (and only one gift) of the party.

Congratz guys :)

Walk from Nakameguro

I walked from Nakameguro to the office. The office is located in Shibuya, so it was just a 15min walking. Yesterday, I walked from Daikanyama where is in b/w Nakameguro and Shibuya. During walking yesterday, I was listening to a podcast for English learners. I felt that it was a great activity because I was able to get healthy and English skills at a time. Only one problem was, the length of the podcast was 15min while walking from Daikanyama is 10min.

That's the reason I walked from Nakameguro. As I predicted, the duration from Nakameguro to the office was actually 15min. However, today's podcast ran for 20min. Hehe.

My bro is stay in our house now. Four nights. He came to Tokyo for lessons about laser. He said he will finally get a license allowing to handle laser. If he can pass an exam.

Presentation to students

I gave a presentation to students about my company. The theme was engineering but not technical topics. I really enjoyed talking to people. I could be very relaxed at the speech because it was not a kind of reviewing or a presentation in English.

The organizer gave me an USB memory with the logo. Yey! I've copied some mp3s to it soon. :)

New earbuds

I had used normal earbuds bundled with iPod, but I bought new earbuds today. I had a trouble that it was difficult to listen audio programs with the normal earbuds on a train. When it's noisy, the voice sounds too small. On the other hand, when it's silence the voice sounds too big. I could not find a suitable volume.

My new earbuds are canalphones. It fits to my ears. I could listen audio programs much clearer. It was good deal.

Bro's visit

My brother stayed 2nights at my house on last Sunday and Monday. He came for a lecture about the security of handling laser. However, he did not bring any pens or notebooks... So, we went to a 100yen shop to buy them. He could not stop buying unnecessary items. He bought a pen light and two laundry bags even though I forcasted that he would never use them.

I'm expecting my forcast will be true.

2nd anniversary

Yesterday (Oct 15) was 2nd anniversary of our marriage. I took a day off and went to the restaurant where we had the wedding party. Tomoko gave me a lovely letter. I should put it on my desk for several weeks ;)

I didn't think the stuff of the restaurant remembered us, and it seemed right. However, they gave us message plates celebrating our anniversary in French. Surprise!

I'm still suspecting they reminded it during serving dishes.

Shopping

On this weekend, I bought various things; shirts, a belt, an umbrella, a pajama, a book about shortest path, a brush and a sponge for bath cleaning.

I had troubles to spell umbrella, pajama, brush and sponge so that I took a longer time than I expected.

Soused mackerel

My ex-office mate came to Japan from NY (Mr. A.C.). He will stay in Tokyo till this weekend. My wife said he somehow looked like Jude Row. However, I did not know who the guy was :)

By the way, I went out to lunch with him. It was a standing sushi bar. Low price but tasty and menu in English. He found that shimesaba (〆サバ) was translated into "soused mackerel" and said that sounded like a drunk mackerel. He might had said "it should be mackerel with souse".

I also learned the word, Ferris wheel.

Office decoration

My office mate (T.O.) had been out of office for a whole day yesterday. So we decorated his office. We made his working space empty and set carbon boxes as his desks. We put up wallpaper made of news paper, and replaced his books with comic magazines. That looked a modern art of homeless.

Picture is worth a thousand words

My English teacher Daniel became a dad of his cute daughter. He looked having a calm and happy atmosphere nobody could not have except a new dad.

I saw him for the first time in three weeks. Just three weeks ago, he had been a guy to be a dad but he had looked just a guy of guys (Sorry Daniel ;). He must be a good dad.

Congratulations!!

Musical chairs

I've rearranged chairs and desks in the room with my colleague to make a room for one more person. Our room already has five members while its size is not big, so somebody says our room an octopus pot (タコ部屋). Our room is already full loaded, furthermore we are trying to see the limitation of filling people :)

I just remember a gambling; two guys alternately try putting coins into a cup filled with water. It looks the cup is already full filled with water, but there is a small room because of the surface tension.

Sunday programming

I enjoyed programming today, which was not (so) related with my job. I was making an web application which encourages users sharing URLs interested by the users. That's like Digg or Hatena bookmark? Kind of... I don't care about the uniqueness. The purpose was not for making money or getting salary, but for fun and catching up web 2.0 :P

(23:02 - 23:09 7min)

Could not sleep

I was very sleepy and tired yesterday. It seemed that I was too tired to sleep. I went to bed soon after I posted the previous entry, but I was rolling on my futon. I hope I can easily sleep (-m-).

Just FYI. (-m-) is a face mark praying with hands.

(23:49-23:53 4min)

Sleepy day

I was very sleepy today. Commutings of both ways were horrible. Although I usually read a book on the train, I was napping by standing today.

One possibility of my sleepiness is just a short sleeping time. I have got a good habit to wake up 6:30am, but the time to sleep still tends to be extended after midnight. I cannot believe there are short sleepers of somehow 4 hours.

I will sleep in 10 min today.

(22:18-22:26 8min)

Lost and Found

Tomoko and I went climbing the mountain behind our house. We're trying to make it a habit as I mentioned. We changed the route to the mountain from the normal route for fun and exploring neighborhood.

We got lost.

When crawling roads, we found a wild road at the top of a slope. It seemed crossing a mountain (different from the above mountain). That wild road was amazing. I was very surprised that I could find such a nature near my house. I will bring a camera next time.

Walking on the mountatine

There's a small mountain behind my house. I walked on the mountain with Tomoko this morning. She said she had started the walking several days ago as her habit.

We intentionally lifted the knees during the walking. It seemed easy but I actually sweated. I have to admit that I exercise too little. I decided to start lifting my knees more on my commuting. It should be good for my health for the long haul.

Well, it's not true. I'm not sure I actually do that. I just wanted to use "for the long haul".

Cockroach poker

I play Catan with my coworkers every Friday. This Friday was a special day, because we had guests from another company. One of the guests was a very famous person to me and similar ages of me. He had been a PR of boys toys and a comic magazine had featured him as our hero!

Anyway, we played "Cockroach Pocker" as he introduced that the game reveals the players' evilnesses. The rule was very simple so that I could get into the game soon. The game was very fun. I want to buy the game and play it every Friday.

Ah, I was not evil but a loser.

Secret treasure museum in Atami

My most impressive place at Atami was the secret treasure museum (秘宝館). "Secret treasure museum" is a literal translation, but a more suitable translation is the adult museum. So under 18 old kids cannot enter the museum. We expected that it is very silly, and it actually fitted to our expectation.

Booked a Restaurant

I booked a restaurant today for our wedding anniversary. The restaurant is the place we had the wedding party two years ago. Tomoko and I will go lunch there on the same date of two years ago. The date is actually over one month later, so I do not need to rush it indeed. However, it is obviously better than forgetting booking it ;-).

BOOK OFF

BOOK OFF opened a new shop in front of Shin-Yokohama stations some months ago. I went to the new BOOK OFF with Tomoko as today's destination of our walking. The shop consists of 3 floors. It is a relatively big shop comparing other BOOK OFF shops.

I did not find attractive computer books there, but found some business related books. I saw a poster which said they will have a sale tomorrow. If it was today, I don't need to go again...

Tomoko's cooking skills are getting better. I love eating her dinner :) Correctly, it may not be a matter of her skills but I think she is enjoying cooking than before. Today's dinner was grilled yellowtail (ぶり), kamaboko with wasabi (いたわさ), and boiled egg pudding (茶碗蒸し).

Black out of a station.

Due to the thunder storm tonight, Musashikosugi station was black out. The train agency said they were recovering it but it would have taken a long time, when I had been in a train car and waited for the departure. So I had to take other train lines to go around the out-of-service line. The trip was Shibuya -> Azamino -> Shinyokohama -> Kikuna -> Okurayama.

The usual duration is about 30min, but I took over 2 hours to go home. Tired.

Hair cut

I had my hair cut. The last time was probably two months ago, although I'm not sure. While I had my hair washed, I could not find a good topics of conversation. I usually don't like such a silence but I could be relaxed at that time anyway.

Hip ache

I'm recently feeling hip ache, correctly the joint of my left leg. That ache was specially terrible today. I felt bright pain when I was walking literally step by step. That pain is just like a sprained neck. It distracts me. I'd better see a doctor, hmmmm.

22:57 - 23:03 (6min)

PMM

I went to Otemachi with Tomoko to see our advisor for personal money management. It was a second of three. We received a result of our money flow till age 90. As a result, we would start having debit from age 80 X-|.

I'm not sure it's true. Anyway it was a good opportunity to think of money plan with Tomoko. I might try private pension (個人年金).

First review of my blog posts

Tuesday is the day of my English lesson, and today is the first time to show my blog posts to my English teacher. He was willing to review them and corrected some errors. I will update my previous posts with the corrections, but I am still thinking how to update.

I also studied story telling using past perfect and past progress. Something like this:

• I had just taken a seat, when suddenly there was a flash of light.
• I was eating lunch, when suddenly there was a flash of light.

Someday I will use them more naturally without a flash of light.

Monthly automatic wire-transfer

I have to wire-transfer to pay our house renting fee every month. That's a troublesome task and I had sometimes forgot it and the owner asked us to pay it. That were very embarrassing.

To pay the fee, I always use online banking of Shinsei-bank because it's free! However, I cannot stand for the awful UI. Every time I use the UI, I continue hating the bank. It requires three passwords and confirms twice before login. Besides, it forgets all the preference about the logging in. That's a paranoia and a good-bad-example of UI.

I might open an SBI bank account.

23:40 - 23:50 (10min).

Getting started

I decided to write a blog in English just for my English trainning. I try writing it everyday, but spending up to 10 min per day. I think this is a good way to keep a dialy.

My wife and English teacher are promised readers :)
