Half price campaign of TSUTAYA

TSUTAYA in my town started a half price campaign from yesterday for two weeks. Tomoko and I rented 3 DVDs: vol1 and 2 of Trick3 and vol1 of Toshiie-to-Matsu. We might finish watching all volumes of Trick3 during the campaign. We will decide if we continue watching Toshiie-to-Matsu after watching val1.

My Dad Visit

My dad came to my house from Nagoya. It was in the way to see his grand daughter of my sister. My mom sometimes had visited my sister's house alone, but he had not. It was a first time for my dad to ride Shinkansen :)

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.

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 :)
