Pressure

Under a Pressure

Last night, I felt chilly so bad so I had dinner in my bed, although I knew it was such a bad manner.
Soon after I ate, I passed out...
I woke up a couple times during the night since my stamache hurt.
This morning, I decided to go to see my doctor where is close to my apt.
I could not stop going to the bathroom, and I burped a lot this morning so I started being worried about my health.
My doctor checked me, and asked me,
"Are you under a lot of pressure now?"
I wanted to shout, "Hell yeah!!" (Of course I didn't)

This picutre is a part of the reason of my pressure, by the way.
I am not stressed out actually, but I feel pressure that I can't get some of my work done quickly enough.
I don't want my bosses to feel disappointed with me, and of course i am working hard because I wanna get the best result from what I am working on right now.
After I went to the hospital, I went to work and got many things done.
I figured that I would feel better if I can get rid of everything which made me nervous.

Unfortunately, I had to be absent from my Hula lesson tonight, because I should get some more rest to keep my energy.
Speaking of "energy", this time, I feel weird that I don't feel sick at all but I am full of vigor.
I feel totally fine, and probably people around me may wonder why I went to the hospital.
My co-workers kept telling me to calm down since I am looked too energetic.
I hope this is not becuase I am too high from this sickness.
Oh well, I will feel much better tomorrow for sure, gotta be.

Cold

Getting Cold, and Caught a Cold

It has been getting cold in Japan since the day before yesterday.
When it's cold, I feel lonely somehow.
Now the cup of Starbucks turns to Christmas version, which makes me miss my life I had in the US.
Anyway, it got cold here and I caught a cold.
Since last Saturday, I had a bad stomachache.
I had a bad pain, and had to go to the bathroom so many times.
I was kinda happy because I thought I could loose weight.
However, when I was at office today, I felt chilly and had an arthralgia.
I got fever, and obviously I was not in a right condition.
My boss made me go to the hospital to check if I had a bad virus.
So I did.

The closest hospital from my office is ghetto.
I had to pee for checking in a bathroom with other men.
I can't believe that a bathroom, which men and women have to share, still exists.
I did it anyway, but I was really embarrassed that I had to walk in front of a man who was peeing with me holding my pee in a cup.
The doctor tried to give me a shot, but I refused since I could not trust him.
I just got to know it was not a bad virus, so I relieved.

I left office soon after the bell rang today.
I just need to sleep.
I still feel chilly...

Good Rest

Had a Good Weekend

I read my old diary the ohter day.
Since I am not good at writing, and moreove, not good at keep doing one thing, there were only a few notes on my diary.
However, I could remember what I was thinking at that time by reading a few notes, and it was kinda fun.
So I decided to write little by little what I think each day here.
I wonder how long I can keep writing, but I will try from today...

I had been really busy lately and my work has been over my capacity.
Since I had not had enough rest for a month, I decided not to do anything during this weekend.
First thing I did was sleeping.
I slept more than enough, and I felt really good.
Afterwards, I cleaned my room and did laundry.
I took everything out from my closet, and found shits of mouse.
Yewwww, I don't want to imagine that there s a mouse in my apt.
If I find one, I will move on the next day for sure.

This picture is macaron which I bought in tokyo for work the other day.
They were damn good.
I go to see many sweets place for research.
So I eat a lot of sweets everyday.
Lately, I can't stop eating besides work.
Also I go out to drink a lot, and I eat really late.
very bad habbits...
I was too afraid of weighting myself but I finally did when I went to Spa today.
Then I figured that I did not gain any weight!
I felt really good because of it, so I did some shopping on the way home.

I wanted to do more cleaning but I called my friend and went to eat noodle which my friend runs.
By looking at my friend who is struggling running a restaurant, I realized that I could work harder.
Lately I think I comlain too much about me being too busy.
I think now is the time I should work really hard no matter what.
If I can go through this time, I will have lots of confidence and I can start something I want to do.
I believe it, so I will hang on here.
Tomorrow is Monday, first day of a new week!

I am 29 years old

Birthday in 2007

I became 29 years old on October 29th.
My friend threw a big party for me, and forty people came to the party on Monday after their work.
I was so moved that so many kinds of my friends came to celebrate my birthday.
It was my first experience to celebrate my BD with that many friends.
I was really afraid of becoming 30 when I was 27 and 28 somehow.
I was very afraid of being old.
However, this year, I got very positive idea about my age.
30 will be my next stage of my life, so I shoud be excited about it.
Now only one year left before becoming 30.
I don't wanna regret of anything, so I will do my best while I am 29 years old.
Last spurt of my 20s of my life!

8/14 in Thailand

2nd Sightseeing Day in Thailand

I was in Ayutthaya on this day.
There are so many places to see in Ayutthaya.
I even can’t count them, but at the end, I asked a TukTuk guy who took us to many places to stop going temples...
We were planning to go to Ayutthaya from Bangkok by train, and after getting there, we were thinking to rent a bike to look around.
However, when we asked a cab to take us to a train station, the driver told me not to take train to go.
He suggested us to take a van from a certain place, which cost us much cheaper to go.
So we did.
After we got off from the van, there was a guy who told us to take his Tuk Tuk.
We really wanted to rent a bike, but he said it is impossible for us to look everything by bike.
Especially, it was such a hot day.
So we started negotiate with him for ten minutes, and got discount so we decided to take Tuk Tuk, which was the first experience for us.
It is an interesting ride, but I got sooooo dirty because of the bad air from other cars, and sand.
First I thought I got sun tan, but after I took shower, I realize that was just dirt on my body…

We talked with lot of people during this one-day Ayutthaya trip.
It is interesting that there are many young travelers who have similar purpose to visit.
So many huge things in Ayutthaya moved me.
They made me think lots of stuff.

After we finished sightseeing, we went to see a guy whom I was introduced.
He lives in Japan and works at Honda, but he works in Thailand a couple months in a year.
We could not get the place correctly, and got a city where no foreigners.
I got scared a bit, kind of, but quite an experience.
He knows a local restaurant, and had the best Tom Yang Kun ever.
While we were eating, unknown other customers spoke to us, and planned see in Osaka soon.
We never know when we make friends.

After eating, we went to see a light up in Ayutthaya, and I was really excited!

It was such a long day, but fully enjoyed Ayutthaya!

8/13 in Thailand

1st Sightseeing Day in Thailand

I got 9 days summer vacation from work this year.
I was pretty sure to go abroad, but have not decided where, but maybe to the US.
Last month, my friend, Ayako, asked me if I was interested in going to Thailand.
Thailand is one of the countries where I always wanted to go.
So soon I decided to go to Thailand with Ayako.
We departed separately so we arrived there at different time.
I arrived there earlier and was very hungry, so when Ayako arrived, we ran to a place to eat.
We were so ready to eat, but the restaurant we entered, there was no English menu.
We had no idea what it says, we even could not guess.
Therefore, we showed a guidebook and pointed picture on a book.
All the dished they brought was extremely hot!!!
I was so nervous if I can keep eating Thai food during this trip.

So this is a collage of our first day of sightseeing in Japan.
I took so many pictures and wanted to put all pictures, so I made a collage.
I was amazed that how beautiful all the building in Bangkok.
On 8/13, we joined a tour in Bangkok.
We went to Wat Arun and a temple of Emerald Buddha in Bangkok on this day.
We climbed up the high “thing” at Wat Arun, it was very high and very scarly…
However the view was excellent.
Also when we were at a temple of Emerald Buddha, we happened to see a changing of the guard ceremony.
After these sightseeing, we went to a hotel to experience Thai food Buffet.
Since we were in a tour, we got to be close to other people in our group, whom we would not usually be able to be friends.
After we separated with this group, we went to eat Thai Suki and took subway to go to luxury spa!
Each room has a shower, sofa, bed, etc, etc.
It was 2 hours long, and still much cheaper than spa in Japan!!

Anyway, we got so many experiences on this day in Bangkok, which was hard to summarize.

Internet Connection

Having Internet Connection At Home

Finally I got Internet connection at my apartment.
I was waiting for this day soooo long.
Now I can do lots of stuff with my PC.
At work, surfing Internet is getting really difficult.
I know I am at office not to net surfing, but still I want to research something through Internet.
They got some sort of software to check what kind of site each employee look by their computer.
Sucks…
I got new PC at office, so I got my old one as my private PC.
Therefore, I work at home too, like this picture.
I make many kinds of pancakes, take pictures, and prepare to make manual to sell those.

Since I got Internet connection at home, now I wanna get two things.
One is Desktop computer.
Using laptop computer is quite convenient, but still I think desktop computer is easy to use.
Moreover, now Mac got a new version of iMac, I think I should get one.
20 inches big screen!
Also, I would like to buy a nicer digital camera.
I love taking picture, but still there are not much things I can do with my current one.
Well, I think it is good for me that there are a couple things I wanna buy.
I raise my motivation to make money.
Having avarices is very important to be a successful businessperson, I heard.
Once in a while, I become a person who just can’t stop using money to do whatever I wanna do without thinking carefully.
Now I am becoming like that.
Gotta be careful…
Anyway, having Internet connection at home is great, especially there are lots of things I wanna know in this world now.
