New to this country

I really wanted to go to IKEA since I heard the news that their first store opened this April. It was huge and they have a unique system for purchase. My friend and I couldn't understand it a while. You need to check the number of what you want to buy first, then go downstairs and find the box of the furniture by yourself. It was apparently assumed for only customers who came on their cars. It was rediculous that the delivery cost was about 5,000 yen (58 AS dollers, 42 US dollers) from 1 goods and up to 1t. Who would buy 1t furniture? I felt as if I was fooled and so gave up buying a 8,000 yen chair for my mother. However, the store was nice and I liked it. We had lunch there. The cafeteria style restaurant was very western and I thought Japanese people would be glad to enjoy it. The outlet mall where I sometimes go was near there and we went to the mall after IKEA.

Niggly

Tomorrow's good body condition is only from today's efforts. That's what I hadn't realised until recent time.

I found that my eyes looked like I was angry or aggresive and then remembered my mental state about when I was in my uni. I was quite reckless because I didn't know anything about society and business. I don't really want to remember about it anymore, but I just feel that I like myself in that period of time.

Inspired

To do daily duties fills up my time. It wasn't so bad. What I needed was now in my hand. I want to look after it well.

Perspiration

Althought last weekend was quite busy for me, I suddenly decided to start studying math with a textbook and recorded a TV program course of it. I fully knew what I was doing may have been riduculous for the other people, but my running of last night seemed to effect me to do what I wanted. It is evident that I need to keep runnning everyday to control my body and mental state.

I thought why I just ran around my house. I already got used to jogging and so I could take a longer course. Even just jogging made me nervous when I started it, but now I'm ok. I also got used to running in sports clothes on the roads.

The streets were quite dark and deserted, but I met some runners. After that, I did streching in my room like yesterday. I got very sweaty.

The whole nine yards

Today, one of my Chinese friends came to my house. I went to the nearest station to meet her. She said that she wanted to eat something and we had crape. Then, we took a bus from there to my house. When we were talking on the bus, she suddenly got carsick. It reminded me of how weak I was when I moved here. I was thankful that she came all the way to my house. Two hours should have been too long for her too. We talked about Chinese things which I could hardly talk with anyone. I was very glad to share the topics with her. I gave her MDs I prepared a while ago. We had carbonara for dinner. I haven't cooked it for several years, but maybe it was ok. Because of the very easy recipe. It was a great time with her.

Scavenging

I cleaned up two of our rooms, a hallway and stairs today. It was so hard and I thought that I should have kept them clean daily.

My sister finished her examinations. She seemed to have been studying so hard. She is now struggling in a difficult situation which she never imagined. I think she learned an important thing this time and so even if her efforts don't yield an ideal result, she needed to experience the paradoxical state.

The reason people like me can't do something as planned is that they can't discipline themselves. Everyday, I am lost by myself. It's strange, but it's true. Defeats accumulated and a part of current myself consisted of them. As long as I can realise, I won't leave something painful until later anymore. It's difficult but very simple.

Drownder in other areas

My mother and I went to the nearest city together to get another of two paintings which needed frames from the art supply store. However, it started raining after shopping. The staff recommended not taking it today. We have thought that carrying it needed two people because of her explanation, but it was a misunderstanding. What she meant was that if we want to take those two paintings at once, only one person wouldn't have been enough. Ok, maybe I'll go there on Saturday this week. I hope it won't rain.

Undefined

When I tried to write something on this blog, I sometimes found I just had nagative things. Then, I stop writing. I often forget what I decided. No good.

There is a saying of "write by fingers" which means that you shouldn't think too much before writing something and should just start to write. Thinking follows typing. That's what I'm doing now.

My friend's saying still has occupied my mind since about a week ago. Today, I suddenly found what was the problem. It was me. I need to change my attitude and thinking toward her who wasn't who she was in our uni.

I called the travel agency for my seat on the airplane.

Aftertaste

My guitar performance was better than last time. I now know how much and how efficiently I practice. I installed another software onto the teacher's PC. If it works, we can have lessons even in America.

Japan lost. But Australia won. I have a complicated feeling. Only a problem was how Japan lost, I think. Lacking stamina and mental weekness sound like someone who writes this.

Millionth

I started doing something related to my future work. It was funner than I thought.
