Last Saturday, I went to Maebashi city in Gunma prefecture, located in nothern Kanto district.
Gunma prefecture has some ski areas, and there was an ad board besides a ticket gate.
When I was listneing to pod cast program broadcast by BBC, I happned to hear the words "Plastic Smile".
The words, which have been spoken by English novelist Hilary Mantel, illustrated English princess Catherine "Kate" Elizabeth.
These days, I want to wirte and express my thoughts and feelings on a blog, Facebook or Twitter.
I don't know why, but maybe it's time to sort out my brain.
When I want to write, my brain wants to list my thoughts and confirm what I am thinking and feeling.
What are my favorite things, what is my priority, and what is my fear...?
I think this is some kind of process for changing myself.
When I am discussing with someone in English online, like e-mail or chat, I somtime run into an argument, which have been heated upo from oridinary conversation.
Facebook, Twitter, Google+.
Needless to say, these are major online SNS sites.
In addition to these, there are other big SNS sites in Japan. Mixi is an example.
There are so many SNS that I can’t easily keep track of them all.
Some friends mainly use Twitter and others mainly use Facebook.
When I have some things I want to share(photos, messages, quotes, etc) I have to post them to each site individually!
There are tools which enables you to post to multiple SNSs at the same time, though I still feel annoyed with the situation.
I wonder how other people handle these services.
How many times did I try to write my journal each day habitually?
I’ve been trying to grow accustomed to writing each day, but my brave challenge ended in failure each time I tried.
Recently, I tried to write my Japanese diary at first.
It’s not a journal, but it’s a private memorandum which is about daily events.
I think that if a man can’t write his journal in mother language habitually, he also cannot write a journal or diary in another language.
I’m using an online blog service and writing in my diary each day.
These articles can only seen by me because I write them in private mode.
Until now, I’ve continued writing in my diary for a month.
I also want to start writing in my English journal again too.
My friend will matriculate at a college in London, where she will enroll in an MBA program. She will go there this autumn, and she’ll stay there over a year. Last year, my other friend had also moved to London, and he is now working there with his wife. I don’t know why my friends go to that city one after another. Maybe some invisible fortune surrounds their network. Anyway, I hope she has a good time and makes good friends in London.
It’s summer time! Hot days have been continuing in Japan, and this hot atmosphere makes me really sweat. I have to change my shirt frequently. So I bought some new T-shirts in this season. This picture is one of them. I’m sure you can see some characters are printed on the front of shrit. These [...]

Last month, I went to the Ube, Yamagchi prefecture, where my wife was born. Yamaguchi prefecture is located at western part of Japan. I went to Ube almost every year. In that city, there is a beautiful place named “Tokiwa park”. Tokiwa park has a large lake called “Tokiwa-ko”. I took some photos and movies [...]
