Vi “Doraemon”
There was a welcome party at my office.I ate too much and had a slightly stomachache. (^^;)When I was walking to a nearest station, I saw a woman that I had ever seen before.I walked slowly and tried to remember who she was.I found the name, and I cried out.“She is Nobuyo Oyama, isn’t she???”Nobuyo Oyama is famous for her voice used as a cartoon character “Doraemon”.Doraemon is a robot which is looked like a cat.He has a magic pocket on his belly, and he pull out a future mechanical kit from it for saving his master Nobita-kun.For more information about Doraemon, please visit this site.http://dora-world.com/top.html(Sorry, it is Japanese only site.)The number of people who stopped to see her increased.From ten to twenty people were around her and one of us started “Banzai”.Apparently, she resigned her career as Doraemon.So, people were standing there started “Banzai” and showed our appreciation for her work.She was holding red roses.She vowed several times to her friends and us and said “thank you” to us.My colleague and I were exited when we heard her real voice!!!It will be one of my precious memories in my life!

el equipo peor de la oficina
I was quite exhausted but unfortunately I had two meetings today.How hard I tried, my sense were going away…I don’t want to know what I was looked like at the meetings.I was taking notes and I couldn’t read it after the meeting.I had to report the content of it to my teammate but it was quite hard for me to remember it and read the notes.I felt my shoulder aching in the evening.I thought it was a kind of stiff neck but I noticed that it was a muscle ache.I went to a concert last night and I kept my arms upward to clap my hands.Whenever I go to the concert, I talk to myself that I should do some exercise.

mal dia o buen dia?
I went to work today.I got several phone calls and they made me completely upset.Some of my colleagues said that it looked like the light got darker around me.Can you imagine it?I got so exhausted that I hardly spoke and moved.Perhaps I looked like that I was sleeping with my eyes open.There was a plan to go to see a Chage & Aska’s concert after the work.It was quarter past five when I finished working.The concert was supposed to start at five.I decided to go to the concert by taxi because it was easiest way to get there and I didn’t have to run.The driver did a wrong turn once and I was about to get off in front of a different building.I’m sure it took me 10 minutes more than it should be.And I fell down when I got off the taxi… (>

Sabe usted que es “DAMENS WALKER”?
One of my colleague asked me if I had ever heard of “DAMENS WALKER(だめんずうぉーかー)”I have never heard of it before.Can you guess what does it mean?It is a comic book about girls who fall in love with DAMENS.The next question is what DAMENS means.This is my guess but I think that is the right answer.DAME (だめ) + menDAME means “no good”.How should I translate the original word?Girls who always fall in love with loser!?I haven’t read this comic book yet, so I don’t know what it is exactly.But… Is it good for me to read this comic book???

Teniamos invitados de Taiwa’n
I haven’t expected that I keep this diary for more than three days, but this is my 101st diary!I first noticed it when my friend e-mailed me about it.Thank you K-san for letting me know about it!!!Well, what should I write today???There were two guests from Taiwan to our office.One of our employees from America showed them around in our office and explained what each division’s part.He explained everything in English, although he speaks more fluently than I do.It was quite funny because one of the guests was asking questions in Japanese.I supposed that the other guests didn’t speak in Japanese.It is really global company, isn’t it?The wind blows tougher and tougher, as the time passes today.When I was walking home, I couldn’t walk forward.I felt something prevent me from going home! (^^;)The wind is very strong, so I’m worried that my house might be blown away!!!

Buen trabajo!
What do you think I did at my office today?I turned on my computer.I double-clicked the Internet Explorer’s icon.I checked the result of the last night’s match of Valencia CF.The result was that we won!!!I tried not to show that I was excited for this result.You know, my colleagues were started working or were preparing for their work.But I want to say one thing.Why, oh why this match wasn’t broadcasted on Japanese TV!!!

el escape otra vez
I wrote there was a bad leak in the roof in my office on Monday.I heard the engineer would come and fix this problem by Tuesday.In the morning, I saw the roof and it looked the same as it used to be.I was surprised because the roof looked completely white like brand new roof.They have sorted it out already.Isn’t it too fast?Yes, it is too fast.There was a leak again from the other part of the roof, although it hasn’t rained for two days.I asked the employee in the general affairs department what exactly the engineers did for this problem.He said they put a tray between the ceiling board and the roof.If it rains, the water will be gathered in that tray.According to him, there is no quick solution of this problem right now.Is it twenty first century or what???By the way, team Valencia will have a match of UEFA Champions league tonight.I must pray for them before I go to bed!!!

Valencia CF es el equipo muy fuerte!!!
It is Labor Thanksgiving Day (勤労感謝の日) today.My father told me that one of his friends sent him a e-mail.She wrote “we must appreciate that we can work!”What a beautiful mind she has!And this is my father’s reply mail.“I had retired already!”Well, that is a great reply, isn’t it? (>

Habia un mal escape en la azotea.
There was an accident today.It looked like someone poured a bucket of coffee to one of my colleague’s desks.It had dried already but her desk was covered with brown liquid.We stared at it and wondered what it was.There was an answer at the roof.There was a bad leak in the roof.To our surprise, her computer wasn’t damaged by this accident.Can you believe it?The roof leaked, although it was an office building…It was actually the second time, because there was a same accident at one of our meeting rooms.Some engineer came to look at the scene, and they took some pictures.I know it is very much difficult to solve the problem.The water comes through the gap of roof’s concrete, so it is usually difficult to find the weak point of the roof.We really want them to fix it as soon as possible.I heard our office building was built more than forty years ago.We can’t blame if the roof leaked!?

Cla’sico!!!
Ví un partido entre Barcelona contra Real Madrid.En mí opinion, este es un partido my divertido por quien queren ver partidos de fútbol!La gente quiere ver los jugadores bonitos, verdad?There was a football match between Barcelona and Real Madrid.In my opinion, it is the most exiting match in the Spanish league.It is very famous that spectators were throwing things like bins and pet bottles to Luis Figo.Figo was seen as a traitor for a fan of Barça, because he once played for Barcelona and moved to Real Madrid.These two teams are big rivals.That is why players who move between these two teams are called “Traitor”.But I didn’t see any bins or pet bottles in the pitch of Camp Nou.I found the reason why people didn’t throw things.The pitch and the seats of spectators were divided by big high net.That was a good solution about this problem.But still, they booed so hard.You can tell when Figo have a ball, only you hear them booing.The match was really fun to watch.Ronaldinho was one of the most excellent players in the world.We can’t predict his next move.Sometimes he passes a ball watching the different direction where he is going to pass.He passes through defenders using tricks quite easily.But my favorite player in Barça is Deco!By the way, our Valencia won a match AT LAST!!!I can't wait to watch it!!!

“UTOPIA” y “Castillo mo’vil de Howl”
Ví dos película se llaman “UTOPÍA” y “Castillo mo’vil de Howl”.En mí opinion, ambas películas no eran tan malas.Creo que Leonardo Sbaraglia es my atractiva cuando sonríe!I went to see two movies.One of them called “UTOPÍA” and the other called “Howl’s moving castle （ハウルの動く城）”.UTOPÍA is a film made in France and Spain.But the language which spoken in this film was mostly Spanish.It was a quite good listening lesson for me, even if I was only able to hear easiest phrases like “Hace tres años”.Leonardo Sbaraglia is played a main roll in this movie.The story is a man- Adrián, who is played by Leonardo Sbaraglia-who can foresee.Adrián lost his parents when he was a child, and was adopted by a man who had a same talent as his.He raised by this man and became a part of a group called “Utopía” which consisted by people who foresaw future.This group prevents bad accident before it happens by foreseeing future events.Adrián foresaw scenery that a man bombed a car and killed mother and son.This nightmare happened in front of the police when he went to police to tell his vision.He felt guilty that he couldn’t save these lives and he quitted from this group.After he left Utopía, he started foreseeing a girl who was attacked by a group of terrorists.He decided to save her by foreseeing her future.I don’t write the entire story, just incase there are people who is planning to see this from now on.I thought a girl whom Adrián foresaw and Adrián met in reality was different for a while.That’s why I couldn’t follow around a middle of this movie.I was wondering why Adrián followed a different girl… (^^;)It is said Leonardo Sbaraglia will be post YON-SAMA. That means he will be the next cool actor in Japan.I can only say that he was really cute when he smiled at the end of this movie!!!I hope he will be a big star in Japan!I should move on to “Howl’s moving castle”.It was made by Hayao Miyazaki, so its quality is guaranteed.My impression was that it is an ordinary Miyazaki’s film.Unfortunately I wasn’t moved enough to cry.The reason why I wasn’t moved so much was that probably, I had a headache.You must take care of yourself before you go to see movies!

Enhorabuena, Angulo!
I read news about Spanish national football team.They had a match against England and team Spain won this match.I don’t really care which team won this match, because I like both teams.I am glad to hear that Angulo was selected as a member of national team.And he actually played in that game.I’m sure he was longing to play in the national team.Playing in the national team is a football player’s dream, isn’t it?There was another reason that I felt happy for.The other football player from Valencia CF was chose for the national team.Why don’t I feel happy?Lately, Valencia CF hasn’t won for weeks.That’s why I haven’t visited Valencia CF’s official homepage these days.This Angulo’s news was the first good news in some weeks.I really want to keep hearing good news from now on…

Co’mo soluciona el problema?
I had an English lesson today.Today’s topic was customer service.Basically, customer service is the division which receives phone calls from people who have their point of view.That’s only my impression.I listened to an interview of a person who worked for a famous computer company.He said there were two types of claims.One is real problem, like a computer breaks down.And the other is illusional problem.What is an illusional problem?It is that one of their clients THINKS there is a problem with his/her computer.So, there isn’t actually a problem.Usually, they can sort it out themselves if they look into the manual attached to a computer.I felt sorry for him, because I knew exactly his feeling.I sometimes make manual for my colleagues.Every time I make manuals, I try to improve it and make it easier to understand for everyone.But some of my colleagues always ask me questions without open the manual.I almost always answer their questions with smiling, but I would like to punch on their nose in my heart!!!That is quite Japanese way to solve a problem, isn’t it?

Sabe Usted que dar una presentacio’n?
My company held a seminar today.I went there to help this seminar.I was at a front door and handed material to people who arrived.There were three speakers today and I had a chance to listen to one of them.The lecture that I listened to was given by English native speaker.And of course, he gave the lecture in English.He was a professor of a university.To my surprise, half of the audience didn’t use receiver that we provided a simultaneous translation and more than half of our employees used it…The professor was speaking very slowly at first, but in the end, he started speaking rapidly.I quite admired this professor because his speaking was very clearly and the way he talks, it was very easy to follow what he explained.He said he was teaching English at university. And one of the methods was “logically thinking for presentation”.Have you every experienced the difficulty of making a presentation?I have experienced it before. I didn’t know how to start and finish it.I was speaking what I had in mind, and now I think it was hard for the audience to understand my presentation.Lately, I learned that there was certain logic to give presentation.Most of all, I was pretty surprised that he made us laugh a few times.If I was in his place, I would be nervous and all I could do is read aloud a script.Perhaps, I made the audience laugh when I couldn’t speak clearly, or I fell to the ground.I know I must learn how to give presentation first, not how to tell a joke!

Haga o no . No hay intento.
I started reading a book called “THINK & GROW RICH” written by Napoleon Hill.It is a kind of a manual about how to make money, good relation ship, and how to achieve your goal.The reason why I chose to read this book is I don’t like learning English.I want to learn something with English.I have been interested in this Napoleon Hill’s method for a while.It is not a really manual.It was written about episodes of some famous people, like Henry Ford.You read a lot of episodes and you will find the right method by yourself.Basically people who were written in this book were very positive.I can’t imagine a president who has very negative thinking, though.I found it very interesting, because it makes me think positive, too.I will step forward to become a positive person when I finish reading this book.I must say that “I will become a rich president!” but I’m not convinced it yet.You must trust yourself and make your goal more specific as possible.That is the basic rule in this book.It is like this famous proverb by Yoda in “Star Wars”;Do or do not. There is no try.

Soy un a’ngel?
I got sixteen tickets to draw lots.I had a bad feeling about this…I had gotten ten tickets to draw lots more than ten years ago, and I got ten pocket tissue papers then.Though, the woman next to me won the second prize.However, I got sixteen tickets this time.I was worried the way to bring to home if I won sixteen bottles of wine!But it wasn’t necessary for me to worry about.I drew sixteen losing tickets.And the woman next to me won a heater…The clerk couldn’t find a word to say for a while, and she said “you got sixteen losing tickets. If you got five losing tickets, you can draw one lot. That means you can draw lots for three times again!”Oh well…I thought at least I could win a last prize. I would draw nineteen lots altogether!!!Finally, I got three more losing tickets again.I thought twice that I am a luckiest woman in the world.It is hard to draw nineteen losing tickets at once, don’t you think?Or I was an angel sent from heaven to give luck to a woman next to me!!!(>

El fantasma de la o’pera
I went to see “The phantom of the Opera”.There are two type of “The phantom of the Opera” in Japan now.One is performed by Japanese group called “Shiki” and the other is performed by English group and written by Ken Hill.I saw the Ken Hill’s one.I had arrived at the theater one hour earlier than the show started.The reason why I went there earlier was I was supposed to receive the ticket at the box office.I reserved its ticket at the internet ticket shop and I expected to have a good seat’s ticket if I went there by myself.It is much easier to squeeze in for one person than for more than two.Anyway, my seat was in six rows, but actually that was four because first two were used as orchestra pit.It was funny to hear the music not coming from the orchestra but from a speaker, although I was sitting close to the orchestra pit.I enjoyed seeing and listening this musical very much.There were two electrical boards at the both sides of the stage. So, when I confused or couldn’t follow the story, all I have to do is read these subtitles.I knew its story a little bit, so I didn’t have to read each and every subtitle.The woman’s voice was really beautiful.But the phantom’s voice was not the one that I expected.I expected the voice of the phantom were much more like opera singer’s one.Like Luciano Pavarotti or Plasido Domingo…Tonight’s phantom had a soft voice and I liked it.I laughed, moved and cried during the show.This story was so sad because it was written a quite simple fact.Love makes you blind.I’m sure it isn’t quite common to KILL somebody for your love, though.I really want to see “The phantom of the Opera” in Her Majesty’s theatre in London someday!

El me’todo a caminar ma’s ra’pidamente!
I’m listening to music while I’m walking these days.I realized that Rick Astley’s songs are the best.I think its tempo is quite good for my walking.I feel I can walk much faster when I listen to music.I guess the way I walk is different from ordinary.It looks like I’m hopping and walking.Do you remember there was a trend of walking in America for about 10 years ago?People were walking and listening to music by Sony’s walkman.Probably, it looks really like it while I’m walking.The difference is, I’m not a health centered person and I use ipod mini!There is a theory that people tend to accelerate their cars when they listen to their favorite songs.I proved the report today, although I was walking, not driving.

No puede cerrar una boca de un abogado!
I was asked to attend a meeting as an observer.If the meeting went wrong, I was the one who stop it and made it getting back to the right track.In that meeting, I saw a lawyer for the first time in my life.The lawyer kept talking as if he stops talking he will die.He also seemed he take it as his responsibility to make us laugh as often as possible.I found myself enjoying being there.For one reason, I was an observer, so I didn’t have much responsibility.And I thought he was clever-Ok, a lawyer must be clever!–he got information what he needed to know very quickly.I spoke what I wanted to say without hesitation. If I hesitated to open my mouth, I couldn’t stop him talking.This meeting lasted for about three hours!?When it was ended, I was feeling great because I was able to speak anything that I wanted to say without any hesitations.He doesn’t seem to care if I said something firmly.I expected him, lawyer, of his age would be arrogant and didn’t hear what YOUNG woman like me.I often feel I must really care to choose the right words when I speak to a man who is older than me.They sometimes pretend that they are very eager to hear women’s opinions.I can sense that disguise. You can’t underestimate women’s hunch!But I didn’t sense this feeling when I was speaking to him.He seemed to concentrate on his work. In other words, he didn’t care about the people around him…Our appointment supposed to last for two hours, so one of my colleagues tried to end this meeting, but he didn’t let her do so. Because he wanted to ask us more questions!He stayed almost three hours and he ran to the next appointment. We hoped him to be in time for the next appointment!

no hay lugar para snowboarding en Inglaterra
My teacher and I talked about the weird things we ate in our life.I said the most disgusting food I had ever eaten was NAMAKO.I didn’t know what NAMAKO is called in English.I tried to explain it and said it was like a big fat MIMIZU.I wasn’t able to explain MIMIZU in English too…Ok. I am going to look for these words in an internet dictionary.なまこ 海鼠 a trepang; a sea cucumber [slug]みみず 蚯蚓 an earthworm; a worm; 《US》 an angleworm; a fishwormIf only I could remember these words…I’m sure I don’t use these words quite often, though.My teacher said he had eaten a sparrow and lizard in Japan.He won this match, however I didn’t want to win anyway.By the way, I have never heard of a lizard’s plate.If you know anything about this meal, please let me know!We also talked about winter sports.He said he started snowboarding after he came to Japan.He didn’t know the place where you could ski or snowboard in England.He explained the reason “there was no mountain in England”.That makes sense!I believed what he said, but he could make fun of me!?

Es una ley o una criba?
I read a bill about protecting private information.This law will be activated next April.I suppose all Japanese company care about this law now.We are checking our information, manuals, and our routine works.But today, I’ve got this bill written in Japanese and also received the one which translated in easy Japanese.Although I started reading the easy one, I reread it several times.Then I moved to the real difficult Japanese one.I read it aloud because I couldn’t get the meaning of it at all.Reading aloud made me understand it a little bit easier.I found myself reading the same line more than three times without noticing it.And I made tea more than three times while I was reading it.At last, I finished reading it through.I really want to ask what the average age of the people who made this law.How can they believe that we understand these phrases?Some of these phrases don’t have much content.I have a short temper so I was about to cry out in my office.Do you sense my feeling?I’m sure you do!I kept reading phrases like riddle and some of them didn’t have content!I couldn’t believe it.Perhaps, I couldn’t get the meaning. My brain could stop working at that time.I can’t deny the possibility… (^^;)

Estaba muy rico!
It is the fact that things are expensive in Tokyo area.May be the rich people don’t think so. I want to be the one of the someday…Oh right, I stop complaining about it.My company is located in Tokyo, so I don’t usually eat out in the evening because it is expensive.However I sometimes eat out for lunch.You can eat much cheaper at lunch time than dinner.Some people say they can’t be satisfied without drinking while eating.But it is not common to drink at lunch time in Japan.So, you must eat out at dinner, if you want to drink.That means it is expensive.I’m lucky because I don’t drink alcohol!I went out for lunch at an Italian restaurant today.It was my colleague’s favorite restaurant.Six people joined this lunch.There were four menus at lunch and we ordered every menu.We shared every meal.I think that is a good idea.You can eat four kinds of plate, but all you have to pay for just one plate.I ate two kinds of pizza and two kinds of pasta.They were really delicious as usual and I was full when I finished eating!Or perhaps I ate too much!?

Gocemos del seminario!?
There was a seminar of a new system which planned to install in our company.These seminars are made me sleep when the speaker use a projector.The darkness when they use projector is the best sleeping pill for me.However, today’s seminar was fun to listen to.After the explanation, there was a Q and A.I’m a shy Japanese girl, so I don’t usually ask many questions.But I was the only one who asked questions several times today.I was really exited!There is something new before your very eyes!Why wasn’t I excited!I was feeling like that I found a new toy!Actually, it is for the sales staff so I won’t use this system, although it is installed.After the seminar, my colleagues said that it looked like I was the only one who enjoyed the seminar.Well, I can't deny it!

No soy periodista.
There was a train accident today.I was in a Yokosuka-line and I heard an announcement that we were about to arrive at the next station.Then, the train I’m in stopped without a notice.I walked two steps forward because of this sudden stop.I was lucky because we were slowing down already, and I didn’t get a great shock.And I saw the train which went opposite direction and Tokaido-line also stopped at once.The second announcement was there was an accident resulting in injury or death.After I heard this announcement, I noticed that the windshield of train going to the opposite direction was cracked.I thought a stone might hit the train, so I picked up my cellular phone to take a picture.If I take it, maybe I could send it to a newspaper company, you know.I hadn’t used this function and I totally forgot the way to take a picture.Anyway, I couldn’t take a picture.But then, I saw something wrong.I saw so many dots on the downward of that train.The colour of the dots was brown or dark red.For a few second, I didn’t figure it out what they were.At the time I realized they were blood, the scenery made me shiver.I was really lucky that I didn’t know how to take a picture with my phone.And I thanked that I wasn’t a journalist!Oh dear, how silly I was!I heard the announcement that said there was “an accident resulting in injury or death”.But I didn’t understand the word’s meanings.The big life or death accident had never happened in my life, so I simply couldn’t imagine it.

mi juguete nuevo
I set up my ipod mini for listening music.I don’t usually read manuals as everybody else.I was sure that I could use it without reading manuals because it was created by apple.The image of the apple’s products is easy to use for everyone.But I was wrong.I didn’t figure it out how to transfer music, turn it off and change volume.The things worse, I couldn’t find some of the solutions in a manual.It said “please refer to this matter in a CD-ROM manual”.I thought it very troublesome, so I made up my mind not to see this CD-ROM manual.I found out how to turn it off and change volume, but still I didn’t know how to transfer music.I knew I should use itune, and I copied music from CD to PC.But I didn’t found out the way to transfer them to ipod mini.All right, I thought.I made up my mind not to see the CD-ROM manual, so I looked it up in an ONLINE manual.I didn’t break the rule that I made, did I?Finally, I transferred some songs!Now I enjoy using my new toy!!!

Quiere usted beber algo nuevo?
My colleague said she invented a new drink with a broad of smile.She was holding a pet bottle of “NAMA-CHA”.NAMA-CHA is one of a famous green tea which is sold in Japan.I thought she was trying to make fun of me, so I said “But you are holding NAMA-CHA, right?”She explained she reused the pet bottle and the content was the tea that she made.She suggested me to try it and saying “it tastes and smells really bad”.Can you believe it?She offered me a cup of tea and said like that.But it is a common behavior in Japan.You shouldn’t show your talent.If you do, you might think as a pushy person.But if you come from abroad, it doesn’t matter.We tend to think foreigners are our guests and guests must be treated well.Well, I was curious and I wanted to know whether she tried to be humble or she is telling me a truth.First, I smelled it.Yes, the smell was something that I haven’t encountered before.It smelled something sour.I doubted it might start to be rotten.I hesitated to drink it, so I said “It smelled sour. Is it right?”I wanted to reconfirm the smell that I smelled was right.Then she said it was right because it was “Shii quaa saa’s tea”Shii quaa saa is a kind of a lemon which was cultivated in Okinawa and it is believed Shii quaa saa is good for your health, because it contains a lot of vitamin C.She wanted to drink it everyday, but it is sour and it is really difficult to drink it only.So, she sorted out this problem by drink it with tea.I admired her inspiration.But, to be honest, it tasted something that I haven’t tried before.I wouldn’t say it tasted really bad but I’m not allowed to say it tasted fantastic!

la batalla entre el suen~o y el despertar
I was too exhausted today.I guess I was too excited and kept writing mails to my friends.And I have lack of sleep today.There was a long meeting. It lasted almost three hours.During the meeting, I was trying not to sleep.It was so hard for me to be awake then.I kept talking myself, “you can’t sleep or lost conscious now”.It sounded like I was lost in a cold mountain.“You can’t sleep or you will die!”I totally forgot about my English class.I forgot bringing textbook today, so I asked a clerk to lend me one.The class started and the teacher and I discussed something about psychology.The lecture and discussion lasted for almost 80 minutes.In the end, I noticed I didn’t have to borrow a textbook.I was quite satisfied with the lessons.You don’t usually learn something about psychology in an English lesson, do you?I heard somebody said, “The best way to learn English is that you learn something with using English”.I totally agree with this idea!By the way, I finished reading “Harry Potter y La piedra filosofal” and started reading “Harry Potter y La cámara secreta”I suppose ‘finished reading’ is not a word to use here.‘Finished reading through’ is explained my situation, I guess.I don’t understand all of it, but finished it anyway.

Hoy debe ser el mejor dia en mi vida.
Today must be the best day in my life.I went to my colleague’s wedding party.More than 80% of guests were from our office.For me, this was one of our company’s parties.Just one difference was I was wearing a nice dress.I enjoyed the food, and talked about some business matters with some colleagues.Bride was cutest girl in the world.She looked really happy.Bloom was about to melt whenever he saw bride.I don’t blame him, because she was really cute actually.Whenever I look at happy couples, I feel happy, too.Maybe they share their happiness to the people around them.We did some games to win a prize.I also joined one of these games, and I gulped down cola at one go.Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a prize.But after that there was a drawing of lots.And I won ipod mini!!!That was a first prize!!!I was too excited to speak.I must thank the couple first, but I don’t think I did it…Anyway, they really shared their happiness, didn’t they?

Lecciones a hacer una presidenta?
I attended a seminar.The guest speaker was Kaori Sasaki CEO & President of ewoman Inc & President of UNICUL International.It was a good seminar to listen to for Japanese women.Ms. Sasaki is a quite active person.She started her career as a TV reporter.And while she was working as a TV reporter, she established her own company called UNICUL International.For me, a president of a company means VIP, so I’m not allowed to be close to him / her.But Ms. Sasaki doesn’t have an aura like other VIPs.I felt that she was a real businessperson, neither businessmen nor businesswomen.Everything she said showed she didn’t care gender problem.I always consider doing something if it is allowed for me or somebody in my position to do this or not, before I do some action.But it seemed she didn’t care these things. She do something that she believes it is right thing to do.I suppose it is very difficult for her to make time for her family.She was asked this question from one of the audience, and she replied“I’m not the only one who is a working mother”Her speech made me have a confident for myself.I think that is the most difficult thing for Japanese women.We used to be trained to become a good housewives and mothers.The good example is this.I went to a girl’s high school.The president made a speech something like “we will train all of you to become a good housewives and mothers” at an entrance ceremony.How can we be a businessperson if we got an education like this?Now, the president was changed and the school’s motto changed to help their student to become a global person.Things changed so rapidly.I think that was quite a good experienced for me to keep working confident, satisfied, and happy.For more information of Ms. Sasaki and about the seminar, please visit this site.Entrepreneur Association of Tokyohttp://www.ea-tokyo.com/index.html

Son sus amigos?
The new bank note was released in Japan today.But I haven’t seen the real bank note yet.In the lunch break, colleagues were talking about it.Colleague A: Have you seen new bank note today?Colleague B: Has it released already? I didn’t know that! Who was…A: Hideyo and Ichiyou.B: What about Yukichi?A: Yukichi didn’t change a bit, but the picture on the opposite side was changed.It was so funny. They sounded like they were talking about their friends.Hideyo is Hideyo Noguchi, Ichiyou is Ichiyou Higuchi, and Yukichi is Yukichi Fukuzawa.They are real famous historical people, Nobel prized doctor, novelist and…What should I describe Yukichi Fukuzawa.He was known as the founder of Keio University.He was described as a philosopher in some homepage.Anyway, it doesn’t matter for young people to treat these noble people like their friends.Don’t you think we need more respect for these people?Am I the only one to think like that? Or I got old…
