Chie-bukuro (the brain)

For the first time, I used "Yahoo! Chie-bukuro" today. It is a function by Yahoo! that people question various things via net work and others answer it. When I uploaded my question, after ten minutes, I got the answer. Isn't it unbelievable?

Yesterday, I met my friend at Shinjyuku, had coffee, talk and talk.
Because the Christmas is coming, girls (also boys?) are absorbed in who will stay with them in the eve. huuuuu....
By the way, I will spend a week from 12/20 in Niigata for driving licence. So, it is not my problem. lucky me ;ω; uuu, my birthday...

Nowadays, I think I wanna get a childcare licence by myself.
I'm interested in sociology of education, development of psychology, and influence of music education in an early stage etc.
These are parts of subjects for the licence.
Moreover, this licence will be useful if I quite a job because of nurturing my children.
I didn't start now, but will consider it in a positive light.

I found a new type of washer for contact lenses.
I usually use only liquid.
First, rub the lenses for 15 seconds, turn them and do same thing.
Then, soak them at least for 4 hours.
However, the new type is much easier!!
Only soak lenses in liquid and put a pill into a contact case.
This way costs more but have strong sterlize power : )
I recommend this.

new semester has begun

It's already December!
Compared with November, it is much colder.
I cannot stand riding a bicycle without a muffler and gloves.
In this autumn vacation, I went to the Myoko highlands to get a driving licence with two friends.
I chose manual cars because I thought it was much cooler than automatic cars lol
It was difficult to get used to drive it at beginning, but at last I like to do it.
Because autumn vacation was too short to finish the program, I have to go there again to continue training after a temporary licence.

I had stayed in a pension with friends for a week. Though we knew each others since last year, we got to know more in this opportunity. I am only afraid of forgetting what I learned till a second part(12/20~27).


One of my friend participated in the program has a boy friend. They met in high school and she fell in love, but the school didn't allowed to get together. After entering university, she kept in touch, and finally started to associate with him about 6 month ago. Don't you think it is romantic? ; )


As I looked her, I became envious of her lol and got courage to contact with who I loved in elementary school by message of mixi. He is the boy I wrote in an article about Kendo. : ) He remembered me and we enjoyed conversation. We can see each other in next month because we will take part in a coming-of-age celebration in our hometown.Though I didn't think he would come back there, I really glad to know that! I don't think he is same as what he was in 12 years old, but I felt he is not changed so much from it. I don't think I will think of him special like I did again, but we can be good friends.


I was satisfied with my courage that brought happiness in a new year :)

What did I learn from this course?

I didn't have interest in creating and publishing by myself though I like reading and enjoying created things. Though the class, I wrote many things about me and what I think about something on my blog. I hadn't experienced to publish something without speaking to many people. Therefore, I was afraid if my writing could be understood like what I want to or not.

However, I learned that that is creating. It is difficult to share what I think or feel with others via works. It is easier to explain it by speaking for me, but I think it is interesting to know how readers feel from my work. Even if the feeling is not what I want to describe by my work. Besides, if we can create good feeling by my poem in readers mind, don't you think it is magical? because they don't experience what I wrote in poem and don't see special but only read my work.

I wrote one poem about youth as a first publishing, and 4 poems about pictures of times of a day by Mucha, one of my favorite painters. My poems could be immature, but I am happy some friends say they like my poems:) I wanna continue writing poems after the class. I enjoyed this course very much! Thank you :))

My obituary

Meiko Horikoshi passed away by on December 25, at the age of 70, at her house in Fukushima.

Meiko was born on December 25 in 1991, and grown up in Iwaki by 18 years old. Then, she entered International Christian University and studied about music education for children. She graduated from ICU in 2014, and work for the Agency for Cultural Affairs. Because she liked stage works very much she contributed to make them popular among Japanese young people.

She got married to one of her good friends in 2017 and had 3 children, two girls and one boy. She also worked after the marriage and births because she liked her work. Since her parents lived together, they helped to raise children. She and her husband tried to make their family warm together, and realize it.

She lived in tokyo, but she likes her hometown Iwaki. Therefore, she kept working for reconstruction till she died. She also liked to travel abroad with her husband. They visited over 100 countries.

After her husband died in December 23, she didn't cry hard and spent grate time with all of her family because it was Christmas eve. However, she couldn't wake up in the next day. She went to heaven where her husband and parents were there.

A funeral for her will be held in December 27, but it is the end of year. She said she want to die quietly and want my funeral to be held only by close people. Therefore, instead of participate in the funeral please celeblate happy new year :)

Directing

In this term, I take a class, "Interpreting in Society."
This class focus on not only Interpreting but also other profession intermediate between anything and anybody.

To intermediate is very difficult work.
For example, interpreters have to tell what speaker talked to listener in different language. To do this, they have to study about a topic in advance. Besides, depending on a case, they are needed added value like presiding and arbitrating. Though these work are not original work but needed in fact.

As a final paper, I will write a report about something related to intermediate.
My theme is directing of foreign musical in Japan as intermediating between an original musical and Japanese. As I talked about Romeo and Juliet the musical before, this work was played in over25 countries. And each time the contents is different by directing though the songs used in were aimost same. What did directer do to atract people in a country?
Actually, Japanese one directed by Shuichiro Koike was not so good for me. However, that't why I become interested in directing lol
Now I read a book about directing and acting, or a role of directers. I found some new points to see acting. I recommend to study it if you want to enjoy movies and of course musicals.

What's my view about religion?

I don't have a specific religion.
However, I sometimes pray god for giving me power to overcome something, but the god is vague. I went to a shrine to celebrate a new year. On the other hand, I celebrate a Christmas and hold a party on the day.

I like a way of thinking that everything has its god. Is it animism,an ancient Japanese thinking style?
I don't know much about it, and I'm not interested in its roots. This is my way.

If I walk in a quiet woods, I feel a mystic aura.
I cannot explain the aura well, but it's like Sisigami-sama of Mononoke-hime or Totoro...
These two images are different from each other, but how I feel depends on my mental condition.
What I can say is that I feel something cannot see at the time, but I don't know it is a kind of gods.
Similar things occur when I go to a church, an old construction, a mountain, and so on.

I don't want to deny those who have own religion. But it is true that religion sometimes brings about a conflict. If they allow others to have different thoughts, the world would be more peaceful place. Religion is a very influential thing, can be a crux of a believer. Though I took a introduction of Christianity, and study what religion is, I still wonder it.

Before I entered ICU, I rarely met religious people and thought about religion so much. However, because I chose ICU, I have been interested in it without consciousness.
Now I have many Christian friends and can listen their thinkings. We, don't have religion, are minority in the world. I don't think I will believe particular god in the future, but I wanna know more about it to understand the majority.
