今日の言葉/最善を尽くしたじゃないか!
You’ve given it your best shot..
■The first half of year finished.

This week I ’ve been pressed for time on my job.In my company every manager has to commited thierselves to achieve our goal for thier general manager before the first half of year begins.So my general manager has been trying to pressure me into achieving the goal.Without being said that my actual performance is far below expectations,I am required to work harder and harder.It is an absolute must that I acieve the goal.Besides,it is necessary that we have our boss evaluated our performance fairly.The result was good.If we didn’t achieve,our bonus in this winter would fall.Unless we actually try it,we really won’t know.Without enough rest,it is doubtful that my health keep going well. My wife said to me that I looked stressed out.

■Field day

The field day of my kids was held as well as on last weekend.So I went to the preschool close to my house.Today’s weather and temperature were good enough to relax myself.The weekend gives me a chance to relax.Even if I spend a busy weekend with forgeting my job,I would be healing.

今日の言葉/私は健康だ!
I am in good health.

■Neuralgia

I went to the field day at the elementary school of my second kid .If I felt fine,I could have enjoyed to cheer my kid.My helth condition was not good,because I ’ve been tortured by neuralgia on my neck and back since last weekend.In the early morning on last sunday I happened to strained my neck while I did sit−up to strengthen abdominal muscle after jogging.At the monent I didn’t notice and guess that I would be suffer from a heavy pain for a long time.But I made myself do the sit−up too hard to relieve my stress.The muscle around my neck was strained with being handled by too strong force.The next day each movement of my neck and back caused stabbing pain.As this week end was approaching,thier pain was increasing.So I saw a dotor after my kid’s field day.According to the doctor,the muscle between a neck and a upside of back is connected, so adviced I should do streching to prevent them.

■Blowfish

Since sep.13th I ’ve been keeping the blowfish in my tank.They are called ”KONGO FUGU”, and they have a high popularity among aqualists.I am not an exception,they entirely got me facinated!! ”KONGO FUGU” has two horns on the head and projection on its tail as long as on the head.They look ”PIKACHU” that is a popular cartoon’s character and very cute.

今日の言葉/私は運が悪かったとあきらめています
I am philosophic about my bad luck.

■Camp
In this summer I planed to go on a camping trip at the place that would give me a good chance to relax.What’s the ultimate camping place for you? I recollected that I ’d veen yearning the life in a secluded country or in the heart of the mountains.So this time my goal was ”campsite in highlands”.In comparison with the past,a few years ago, year by year the opportunity to go on a camping trip has been decreasing for me.I think the cause is busyness of my job and the change of the my family’s life style. The growth of my kids makes themselves independent from parents.My family isn’t an exception to the fact.My kids are trying to make much of a companionship ,so they are unwilling to spend the time with me.I know that it dosen’t meen they don’t respect me. But I never thought the effect would get me isolated! It might be exaggerated explanation.But I really want to go on camping trip with my kids.  So when I got a oppotunity to execute,elaborately I  planed special camp  in highlands .Our destination was the ”NORTH LAND” that was located in the mountain close to ”SHOUSENKYO(top photo)” in Yamanashi pref.That site was in 1,200 meters above sea level. Finally the day come to me.I had been looking forward to leaving for the wonderful campsite,but in the early morning on that day I had to watch a bad weather forcast that said a typhoon would be approaching to our destination.No way!!That’s too bad.Unfortunately the weater forcast didn’t fail.We had to pitch a tent in the hard rain and wind.We were never able to watch a wonderful view from a hillside close to the camping site.We had to remain in the tent for two days. I sweared I would be back again when the nice sky.

今日の言葉/私は再会に思いをはせた。
I turned my thoughts toward reunion.
■Aqua−Lover

What got me impressed with was the feast called ”OFF−MEETING” in this summer. ”OFF−MEETING” is the meeting a lot of aqua−lover get together and have a nice time drinking and eating .They have been enjoying as passionately as me.If I didn’t open my web−site and slip in the other web’s bbs,I would never acquaint with other aqua−lover .The internet enables me to acquaint with a lot of aqua−lover .Of course,I won’t deny that actually there will be lot of dangerous encounter.But I have every confidence that nobody needs to worry about the meeting of aqua−lover.Everybody will be prepossessed  with other gentle manner.Guess what? Because the actual encounter isn’t the first time! We have been chating and keeping in tatch through bbs untill we meet for the first time.This meeting that was held in the Miura Peninsula was the second time for me.I So most of people have been my friend.At the Arasaki beach in the Miura Peninsula we pitched camp and dived for butterfly fish during daytime,sometimes chated with friends about keeping fish and coral, then  gave an impatient banquet in the night.It was wonderful time.From now on I want to partipate in the meeting like this.

I felt a lump in my throat.
■Class Mates

In this summer I think I could balance work with leisure ,except for my study of english.I have been excited at a lot of wonderful experience during this summer.They were childlike excitement for me.One of them was that I had participated in alumni association of my highschool’s days.It’s been for long time...23 years have elapsed since we had graduated from high school.I’ve never seen classmates shortly since I  graduated.Because most of classmates have been living hometown since they got a job except for a few classmates including me.The trigger was One of classmates had planed a party in this summer to celebrate our teacher who had gotten promotion to the principal.In fact the similar party was held 3 years ago to congratulate our same teacher  who got promotion to the vice−principal.But I was not able to take part in it for my job .I was concerned that by any chance nobody might remember of me and I wouldn’t be able to catch up with them.Eventually the fear become only fear. As soon as I saw them,I shaked hands with everybodyand embraced .The good old days welled up in my heart.At the moment ,I felt a lump in my throat. Then I forgot the time passed.

今日の言葉/ついに梅雨が明けた
the rainy seazon finished
■Summer
Finally the rainy season finished in kanto region.
It was so late that the growth of some crop would be influenced by  anusual weather.
Lack of daylight and low temperature has caused a poor crop.Weather person forecasted the price of lice might rise by any chance.
I forecasted that this summer would be very hot and in this summer there would be as lots of clear days as last summer.My forecast become oppsite.

My wife and second kid went to ”SUGADAIRA” in NAGANO.
Their perpose is to perticipate in the football game and support to player.I want to respect parents’ eagerness to support to kids.On next weekend they will go to KOUFU to perticipate in some friendly match with local club.
I and two kids and dog are going camping at the camp site close to the friendly match’s place to support them sometimes,and to enjoy the camp.

I put new coral I had purchaced at the shop into my tank.
At the shop I was not going to buy it, first I was going to purchace ’stag beatle’s ”spawn bottle” .
 ”Spawn bottle” is inserted as its photo the below.
”Spawn bottle” helps grub(kids of insects) to grow into bigger insects.Recently the technique to raise into bigger that using ”spawn bottle” has been advanced .
Everybody can make it with ”spawn bottle” easily.
The way of  ”spawn bottle” is to put one grub into it.
If we put more than two grub into it,one will eat another grub.Until the grub grow up,we have to keep it,management a temperature,moisture,and a change of it.Before the grub eats  spawn inside of bottle,we have to change new ”spawn bottle”.Until the grub become a insect,we have to change it average  3 times.But up keep can’t be disregared for me.Because a pair of stag beatle bore about 20 eggs in one time.If that pair of stag beatle bear eggs in 5 times,a number of eggs will be 100!!
I will have to ”100 spawn bottles”!!
 ”Spawn bottle” costs up to 1000 yen .It depends on a size.When we want the grub to grow up into big size,we have to use big bottle.But bigger insect comes from big parents,big grub.

For the several past years, to breeding stag beatle had been an investment.Lots of enthusiasts had conpeted to raise bigger stag beatle than other contender.
Over 70mm stag beatle was realy in value among  enthusiasts.Now we are able to raise Over 70mm stag beatle easily with  ”spawn bottle”.
 ”Spawn bottle” is a reasonable direction so far.

The ultimate goal
■Regular class
I haven’t seen Brett for long time because I took the business course.So I made a reservation of two regular classes on saturday.Fotunately I could meet Brett in this afternoon, becides one−to−one.Lucky!!I was to be congratulated.
Brett said that he had been enjoying the scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
He said that the view of inside of the sea in the Great Barrier Reef was very very tempting for him.
In fact I think every summer that I wish I had a scuba diving license.So I decided to obtain a scuba diving license during this summer.The beginner has to get the C−card to be a scuba−diver.And the beginner has to take ”lecture and training at the sea”.C−card is not a like qualification with a driver license.Public diving−educational institution of the world  issues them as common curriculum.
On this weekend I am going to study , by any chance,
I may apply to the nearby diving shop.
I am lookforward to taking lots of photographs of the coral and fish!! Now on the weekend next month I will be diving.

今日の言葉/原点に帰る
Go back to the basics
■New class
I don’t think that I have much progress in my english capability.I never thought that it would take so long time to master english for me.I am never satisfied with my progress so far.
So I contineu to study english at school.
Actually I don’t have a good opportunity to talk with foreigner on my job.
But I feel I may have the chance to negotiate with foreign customer or agents in the near future.
I may have to receive the direction abroad from my company.The reason I study english is to prepare for the future and to enjoy the study as a hobby.
So I determined to take a business class that school manager had recommended  to me.
I have been studying the biggest english school ”NOVA” in japan since last april.I had changed the schools three times a past five−year.
Now I feel this school fits closely for me.
At this business course in this school six students began to study. There are so many students in this class that 
I am concerned about the procession.
But the business course benefits the way of reservation.
 From now on I don’t need to make a reservation while I contineu to study at busuiness course.
This school always has us made a reservation except a special course.
Besides only 28 points will be deducted.

■What is the optimum health conditions?..


What is the optimum health conditions for you?
Lately I feel slack on both weekday and weekend.

As I age,I feel it takes long time for me to get rid of tiredness.
The next morning I sometimes wake exhausted.

Until  I was in my middle 30’s,a night’s sleep had been able to ease my tiredness.I had been naturally strong , especially I had been keeping a tireless body since I found employment at one company in information industry.I had continued to enjoy something on weekend. I have lots of change of hobbies and interests I can be absorbed. Since I was 27,I have been involved with jog in every weekend to keep my health condition.It is a daily routine for me.
Through the jog,I haven’t ever made holiday on the ground of my illness.
They say that there is a close connection between mind and body.Mind influences on the body and health condition delicately.
As we age,we get our mind wasted.On the other hand our strength bigin to decline regrettably.. 
I believe that curiousity will activate my health condition  
Health is better than wealth.

About 1 month ago I received one letter about my car.
That letter was sent by the maker I had purchased from 5 years ago said the maker had found a deficiency about  my car, therefor they had asked me to bring my car to the shop to repair immediately.As usual I called the shop to make a reservation to repair and comfirm the detail about the deficiency.In fact I received those kinds of letters on my present car more than 5 times in the past 5 years.I ’ve become exhasuted receiving those letters!!
I receive those kinds of letter in every year!! 
Becides I was not able to make a reservation at this time.That was because the congestion of the reservation by other lots of customer.Unwillingly I agreed with the day the shop attendant recommended to me.It was today..
To pass the time while my car was being repaired,I had to wait at the shop .During waiting for the repair, the shop attendant had been recommending me to buy a mint car.
Incredible!!

I never thought that my car would be really demanding!!
Now I am disinterested in all of mint cars of that maker.
If I  purchase a mint car,I never will chose that maker.
You will be able to understand my feeling ,won’t you?

■Education

Last week end my kid’s friend  who has been living in Australia with his family and 12 years old stayed at my home.His father is an Australian and his mother is a Japanese.His father made a bussiness trip in Japan,so he brought his wife and kids to Japan.As soon as they came to Japan,thier kids contacted us and determined to stay at our house.
One of thier kids ’ Yamato−kun’ was a classmate with my second boy in a kindergarten.My kid and ’ Yamato−kun’ used to play amicably and used to stay at mutual home.He has been keeping a ability of japanese language since he left for Australia 5 years ago.
I inquierd him how he had been keep going.
When he talks with his family,he speaks english.
But exception next.When his father is out of his house,he always communicates in japanese.
Actually he is very fluent in both english and japanese.
I think that it is very effective for all of people to start studying a foregn language since a boyhood days to master it.On the other hand, I feel it is taugh for us to make our kids concentrate to study a foregn language.
I expect ’ Yamato−kun’ will keep going well.

■Satisfaction on the USJ

I went to the Universal studio of japan with my kids and my parents.It was not only first experience for me but also
exciting event for us during GW.I thought that if I didn’t stay at the hotel closed to the USJ,I wouldn’t be able to have enough time to enjoy the USJ .So I got a paid holiday on May 2.
As the matter of fact, May 1 is our company’s anniversary day ,so company gives all of employees a holiday on that day every year.
The result was that I could get 5 days off.
 The kintetsu hotel I made a reservation  in MAY 1 and 2 at was located very closed to the staion called JR−universal station.It took  3minute−walk from JR−universal station to get there.Besides it didn’t take  1minute to get the USJ.It was very convinient!!
As I forecasted before,there were too overclowded people in USJ during GW.The stay at the hotel was so effective that we were able to use the time efficiently.
But to enter one famous attraction all of guests had to stand in the line and wait over 200munites.It was 200 munites!! I never thought it would be so crowded
Before I vitited the USJ,I had imajined that the USJ wouldn’t be able to make us feel as confortable as the DISNEYLAND.After I entered to the USJ,I had to change my feeling about USJ.That was why it had entertianed us  as well as DISNEY LAND.I am sure the USJ is trying to catch up with DISNEY LAND.The USJ imitates the DISNEY LAND,on the other hand,they are trying to make the difference.

■The miserable incidents


Many of people have been afflicted with a sequela(”headache”) by salin.More than 20 people were killed by it.
The accused has been detained for years,but the pain of the victims on their heart will never be cured forever.
I remenber that they caused serious and miserable incidents 8 years ago(7 of heisei) .Besids closed to my work place.I will never forget it.When they caused that incident in hibiya line of subway,I reached my office that was located in hacchobori tokyo ,and I was getting to start my job.On that day the important meeting for us was supposed to be held as soon as we got my office.One attendant was able to attend the meeting.He took the same train that mass murdersers excuted it in.Fotunetely he was able to escape the miserable accidents becase he had taken the different cars.
On that day I happened to take the keihintohoku line from ”KITAURAWA” to ”TOKYO”. It takes about 10 minutes on foot  from tokyo station to my office.The sunny day might get me done like that.I usually commuted using hibiya line after transfered at the ueno station from keihintohoku line.  
If it was a bad weather,I would take hibiya line as  usual and might be in the incidents.

I used to be wild about physical sports when my boyhood days.Because they always made me perspire.
I always felt the physical sports had helped clear out impurities from my body.
The football we watched yesturday reminded me of old times.In my case I prefered football to basketball.
I had been in a basketball club until high school student.
I had been fulfilled enjoying the basketball after sturdying
school’s subjects.
The football game we applauded also got us satisfied.
I hate to say,I support ”URAWA RED DIAMONDS” as enthusiastic as other supporters.That game was very exciting for me.Before the game started,the pre−match of my kid had been held at the same coat ”KOMABA”.↓kids in KOMABA
My kids will never stand in the coat forever,unless they become pro−football players. It was sure worth for kids!!
One coach of our kid’s club applied to the football associasion ”J1”.
The result was that we could get the oppotunities to make our kids entry to pre−match game at KOMABA in april 19th.We was able to have the exciting and irresistible experience.
After the struggle of pre−match  between ”TOKIWA” my son perticipated in and ”DAITO” had ended,the game between ”RED DIAMOND” and ”PERPLE SANGA” started.
I think the supporters of REDS are really enthusiastic.
When REDS player got the goal, most of supporters stood up crying loudly and lots of flags wavered in front of me.
I was very satisfied that REDS triumphed by the score of 2−0.It was an overwhelming triumph.
I expect RED will win the championship of J1 now and then.

With Tv or newspaper we could hear the war would enter into the final stage .That means Sadam was austed by the US.Nobody knew Sadam would survive under this condition or not.

If us couldn’t find any nuclear weapones in IRAQ,us would be criticIzed from oter countries and would be isolated in the world.
Because this silly war had got lots of people killed.

But today I recalled that we would take part in the event held by my firm’s lavor union in TOKYO DISNEY LAND next saturday.
So I rebooked thier lesssons from next saturday to tommorow. But I am not confident that if it will be fine day ,I may cut school.

The serious and terrible disease ”SARS” has been aflicting lot of people in HONGKONG and CHINA.
They say it is a kind of pneumonia.But the cause of the terrible disease hasn’t been mapped out.Therefore it is quite difficult to cure for people with the latest medical science.Any effective prescription for the disease haven’t exsisted yet. The neighbor countries have to be carefully to remove the threat of expansion to other countries.And I hope the cause will be claryfied and the prescription will be delivered to their patients as soon as possible.

今日の言葉/それは初耳だ!:
That’s a first for me.

■Flower

I happened to take photo when I was walking the dog.
The flower was very splendid.
■English conversation school


I  went to the english language school today.
I usually make reservations of 2 lessons on weekend.
I had 2 lessons as same as other weekends. 
Fotunetely both lessons were−one−to−one lessons.
In one−to−one lesson I am able to have enough oppotunities
to talk about anything with instructer.
First instructer was ”Stainly” who looked Japanese today.
In last lesson provided by him he said his glanma had been in Taiwan ,so he sometimes would visit her now and then.
And he said he had visited Taiwan in every  6 months.
”So many!!”
(Taiwan has been developed these days to catch up with Japan and other western countries.I remenbered that the highest building in the world would be under construction and would be completed in a few years.
It will take for years to complete  to build that building because of the very huge building.
That building’s hight will be 600 meters,have more than 100 stairs.One bussiness magagine introduced that the elevator’s technology produced by TOSHIBA would be used in that building.
According to my memoly,they say that elevator will be able to move 1000 meters per minute.
In short that means that elevator will be able to ascend from 1th floor to the top in 40−minute.The elevator will be the fastest one in the world.)
 I am able to enjoy talking about current affairs and incidents and happenings with Stainly.
We also exchanged our opinion for the war between Iraq and US .
The second instructer was Glen who was from Austraria.
He looked young.I thought he would be in his middle twenties. The foreigner,above all,white man usually looks older than the true age.By any chance he may be in his early twenties. How young!!


■Cherry Blossoms 

In kanto erea the cherry blossoms began to bloom this weekend.
I think the cherry blossoms will be full open next week end.
So I took some photos about cheery blossoms this weekend.
Next weekend I will go to the good places I ’d like to see
them at.And I will take lots of photos .Are there any places you would see or recommend?

■Serious Conflict in the midlle east

Eventually the US has taken an incredible action for Iraq.Lots of people in the world will crtisize and oppose their action.President Busseh said that  if Iraq accepted the Us’s proposal of investigation without hiding lots of weapons during the time the US required,the US wouldn’t attack Iraq.Lots of perple won’t be able to
understand what the rationale for that miserable conflict is.Is it the romoval of threat for the world or the US?
What dose the justice for US mean? Getting oil?
Are there any differences between this conflict to be realized in the world for the US and the invation by the US.

And I guess that lots of people won’t deduse what it is that is threating the Us!!
Are the US and England  trying to encroach on Iraq.
What will the concludion of this conflict be like ?
How long has this conflict been keeping going?
I expect Sadam will be ousted from power by the revolutionaries of IRAQ and the pease in middle east will be ralized as soon as possible.


■Aqualists

Compared to the middle east, japanese life is very peaseful.
My life has been as peaseful as other japanese.
Because I can have enough time to enjoy breeding coral and fish ,and walking the dog.
But one of coral in my tank had been in critical condition.
That coral is called ’takoashi sango’.
It looks isogincyaku and brriant when it is in light.
The coral is the most beautiful one that I have ever invested in .Of course it is expensive. I have been wanting to let it revive.
Finally I got one special prescription in famous shop.
I decided to buy that prescription shop attendant had recommnded me to use.After I put it into my tank to cure that damaged coral,
the symptoms of that coral was relieved as the left photo.
I may not be able to indicate
the difference between the bad conditions and good conditions.Because I haven’t show the photo of bad conditions. 
Now and then I am confident that the symptoms will go well.

■If I won lots of money...

If I won a lot of money,I would buy a foreign vehicle and
pay for 20year−mortgage for the current residence at once.
I sometimes question that contents to my friends.
They sometimes responed that they would realize what they
would  not be able to achive as usual.


■Mental Health

Last friday I could have a good oppotunity to study the mental health at my office.It was the education for us to manage our men’s mental health.
It has been held for all of manager of my company until new business year will start at my company.
We have some serious problems about mental health.
If person suffer from melancholy sick, the nerves will dejenarate ,then go insane.And they will be reluctant to go to office to work.They will have a low tolerance to the job and and keep talking with person and spending usual life.Their behavier looks sabotage.But some  effective cure should be done until the impending situation comes.
We had studied that it would be most important thing not to encourage them.And we should have sympathy on their circumstances ,then we have to make them have adequate time to rest.
■When I walked the dog..


As soon as I struggle to get up early morning every day, I usually start to walk the dog.
This week end lots of ume’s flowers has been seen around
neighbor.They have been in full bloom.
On the part of the walk,I took some photos about them.



《2003.3.8》

■The key


This week I haven’t had enough time to sleep .Because I have been in my office and spending hectic days all day until I  finished the job every day.Besides I have my bicycle’s key stolen.I usually go to the station by bicycle.It has been inconvinient for me. There for I was inclined to miss the final train bound for the station close to my residense.The result was that I would have to hail taxi at taxi stand at the different station and come back to my home at 12 o’clock,then have a meal then go to bed at 1 am.
I will go onward with my struggles until I will be able to enhance our capability and excute our mission responsibly.


■The view of Mt.Fuji

According weather forcast, caster said today would be clear .So I deduced that I might be able to watch Mt.fuji in the long distance view in early morning.
I went to the place to watch Mt.fuji with my dog.
Mt.fuji was very impressive for me.



《2003.2.22》

■I hope my work will go well

How was this week?
I have been in a hectic and auduous week.
I did’t have adequate time to finish the work I had to do.
I didn’t have enough time to solve  lots of problem either.
One of  serious problem was the lack of trust from my customer.Our section had made the major error on that customer that we would be able to prevent our fault with a littile attention.
Unfortunately it was a second time for the same customer.
I  visited them and  explain the datail as soon as possible.
I apologized without hiding the facts and details .
Apparently I could barely attain the objective given to me,but evidently I consider our job’s quality bigan to deteriorate ,now it is very serious.
I had investigated about them and I concluded that both our insufficient skills about our work and a lack of passion for customer have aggravated our task’s quality for long time. There have been lots of complicated causes in our section.
Both my subordinate and I had been  trying to legitimate our work.Eventually we noticed the facts.I will never give my subordinate and myself a concession any more.
I am confident that I will enable my section’s person and myself to prosper soon.
All of my section’s person had been spending a special week.So I had to have all responsibilities about them.


■Stress

So a lot of stress had accumulated in me.
Fortunately I will be able to enjoy my private time because of ample hobbies.



《2003.2.16》

■Incredible Action

How is your days going?
Did you see today’s paper?
We are able to see the articles about the investigation of nuclear weapon in IRAQ.Besides,also about North Coria.
I am worried whether US will attack IRAQ or not.
I don’t know how long US and IRAQ have been under the
serious conflict.
I can’t understand what the real aim of US  is,why US is trying to ignore the determination of ”The United Nation’s General Assenbly”.I am quite worried if it may mean US attemps to be isolated or not.Is Us trying to govern the world? Are any conflicts really unavoidable?
Children can find the result of war.
I think that it is in time for JAPAN to declare our opinion and ground to US and other countries.
Anyway I really want to oppose any wars and struggles.


■Cnsolation

For change of topics;
This week end I made a effort to spend with my kids in my free time.Because I hadn’t been able to talk with them .
I hadn’t been able to go back to my residense until AM 0 o’clock last week.Of cource  I had to work harder every day.
I have really been wanting  one consolation this week.
What grasp me now?
They are my kids and to bleed " REEF".



《2003.2.11》

■We need to train my dog...

My kids are reluctant to walk my recalcirtant dog.
That is because certainly they had underwent the painstaking walk before.
I am sure the dogs are good at picking up a scent,so my dog  always concentrates to smell at anything around him as soon as I start walking outside of my residense. I sometimes feel wreched with such a behavier.But I don’t mean there is no affection for my dog.
I had been wanting to keep the ”retriever” since I had decided to relocate to new residence of my wife’s parents.
And I have been intereted in the daring and friendly character that most of kinds of them have.
Of course I know it is very effective for the owner to flatter to train a dog.
But it also requiers the serious patience to me.
I really want my dog to be a smart and depansable pet.
There for I will attempt to train ,sometime punish him.
I came to the conclusion that we shuld guess what is happy for both a owner and a pet.


■ ”Trachyphyllia geaffroyi”

Recently I have been going for the kinds of ”Trachyphyllia geaffroyi”.Japanese aqualists call it ”Hiyusango” or ”oobanasango’” as a japanese name.
It is a kind of the most attractive and popular reef.
It can vary ”color” and ”types”.
Authentic one that has mulutiple color and a complicated shape is extreamly expensive.
To keep their reef healthy,we have to pay attention for the elements of artificial sea. 
 



《2003.2.9》

■Positive Thinking

I decided to have a positive thinking for the disposal of my campany.So I walked the dog around my residence to change my thought.I found japanese apricot tree.



《2003.2.8》

■Special Ocadion

I had a special ocasion this week.
I was very surprised by NIKKEI  article about the disposal of my company.
It said that one invester company would invest in my company .with buying from the parent’s company.
So we haven’t confid the parent’s company.
The news was so ambiguous that we had upset and were irritated.
But I hate to say the detail.Because it is a confidencial.


■Space shuttle’s accident

One week has elapsed since the space shuttle had disintegrated as it had hit the earth’s atmosphere.
NASA have been investigating the cause since the terrible accident.
The anterior portion of the left wing of the shutlle was found to be damaged.It may be the cause.
The latest technique is too frail to keep up.



《2003.2.2》

■The disaster

I was very suprised to see the news that had mensioned about the bad disaster of space shutlle "colonbia in us.
The caster said that the  space shutlle had exploded in the air.He also talked that there had been no relations with ”terolism”.As soon as I heard the bad news,I recalled the same disaster like this had happened in the past.
It was the bad disaster that "callenger" had exploded in 1887.
The advanced science will always face the risk of the bad accidents like this.


■Kohanagata Sango

Mainly my hoby is to bleed fish and coral.
So I have been spending a lot of time taking care of them.
The time taking care of them is worth the gold for me.
Above all I am wild about "Cynarina lacrymalis”.
 "Cynarina lacrymalis” is a technical term.
Japanese call it ”kohanagata sango”.It can vary to color and types.
I had acquired it one month ago.
After I had put it into my tank,I saw some fish try to eat it!
Unwillingly I had to set a net around it in my tank to prevent thier atacks.Then it started expanding.



《2003.2.1》

■Flexible time

Morning rush is too heavy to peruse a newspaper in saikyo line.My company has adopted the "flexible time system" to work during the time we choose.But sales people are an excection.
Because sales people have to be  faithful  for customer.They have to be in office to be ready for coustomer in anyway at least form 9 am to 6pm.
They eager to acquier the day off.In the past I use to be in office without getting the day off when I was engaged in
 sales job..
But I use to repose at usual coffee shop to relieve my stress. It was a great relief for me .I had liked a composed
plase since my boyhood days.
Now I have been living in saitama for more than a decade.
I never thought I would have to live in so busy city and spend so crowded life.
Saitama’s population are incleasing day by day.
The condos in saiatama are also incleasing in value.


■The stack of work

Recentry there have been the stack of my work I have to do.I have to lean to my section’s colleague to atain the aim,unless I am not acessed from my company.
We have to respect mutual ideas to enhanse our ability.
I think our colleague are quiet dependable staffs.
At the same time we need the human skills in our section to produce a maximum effect and  to succeed in our bussiness.


■The musical play 

These days the temparetures has been fluctuating not rising steadily.I dislike the winter ,so I want to concentrate to some confortable things to forget the winter.
My wife purchased to get the tickets of the play for kids.
It was supposed to start to play at 1:30 pm .
My wife said most of guardians would be father,but they wouldn’t.They were entirly mother.
The play’s title was ”Oz’s witch”.



《2003.1.25》
■Entertainment for me

I had drunk with the person that our department contracted about entrusting for our special works last night.It was the entertainment for me by him.So I never had the responsibility for paying for the expenses.Actually I dislike to be entertained by another company,but I decided to receive the entertainment. Because I was moved by his dinamic personality.He is a very passionate man and concentrates to take care of the man around him.The result was that I had been very delighted to be able to talk with him.He had made the effort to let me enjoy for long time.We had talked about everything each order.We had discussed about the thought of our work we have to do,the view of forcast on our bussiness,our private situation,our opinion about the future not only Japan but also the world.He is the one that has been running his small company as the president.So he is positive for everything around himself.
 He looks as optimistic as me,so I felt close to him ,because I thought that we were very similer each another.So we forgot the time.
We had tranfered from the pub to other pubs.
When I left the fourth pub,it was 5:30 am.I didn’t think that I would continue to drink from 7:30 pm to 5:30am for so long time. They were  so  beneficial experiences that I decided to keep to support him.




《2003.1.19》
■Wonderful Show

I went to the KOURAKUEN to enjoy the circus with family.
The BOLSOI CIRCUS has been held until feb 23 at kourakuen’s special field.It had taken a 10−minute walk for us from kouraken station to there .
It was a freezing day today.So it had been hard for my third kid who was a infant.
I used to enjoy the circus with my parents.
It was the first time for me to meet the BOLSOI!
BOLSHOI is the one that have been held for long time.
The most of japanese feel close to it!



《2003.1.18》
■Class Mates

I could have a nice day at english school today.
On every lesson I have had the oppotunities to meet and
get to know the other students and talk about anything.They give me not only the chances to study english but also
to realize the world I had never known about.
They also makes me excited.
I studied with the business people who had been working for the famous beer’s company.It wasn’t the first time to meet for us.It was three or second times.
He menstioned the details about his industry.
We were really  interested in  his talk about the kinds of liquor in the world.
He asked me what the country the leargest quantities of beer had been consumed in was.I guessed that it was USA.It was a correct answer.I never knew the second and third.
He said the second one was China.The next one was Brazil,
the 4th country was Japan.
A lot of people enjoy to drink beer in our country.
When we hold any party ,we usually drink to our health or success with beer!
The othe people sometimes say I look low tolerance of alcohol.Because I see red easily.But I usually don’t have hangover .

■The Circus

Tommorow I am going to  enjoy the circus that have been held in KOURAKUEN with my familly.
The cirsus’s name is the BOLSOI.
I am sorrly I may have a mistake with that spelling.
  



《2003.1.11》
■Holiday

I will be happy to get 3day− holiday.
There are a lot of things I want to do.
I would like to have more than 4 lessons at english school.
And I want to have much progress on how to breed the marine fish and reef.


■Class Mates

I went to the english school to study today.
Long time no see! I havn’t  come here since Dec.27.
I could get to know the one that had bacome a junior high school’s teacher .
He said that he had made a effort to be a english teacher.And  he said he had to study english here to improve his english capability.And he said that the teacher of english always  had not been good at speaking english!!



《2003.1.3》

■A happy new year!


I could get as 9−days holiday as the most of office workers.
How long this long holidays is!!
We are able to have a rest at my house by Jan 5.
But it is too long to enjoy my free time.
When I wew young ,I used to be exited with ’OTOSHIDAMA’ and getting togather with the relatives far from my house.
Thier events had made me exited.
But recently their events makes me bored.
How were your newyear’s eve and newyear’s day?


■Temple

I had only two events like newyears day.
One of them was
