Deja Vu

Deja Vu
2007.03.01 1:06

I lived in Kokura till age 20. The vague light was shining through the window of the bathroom in Kokura's house, and I would often see the light while I was taking a bath.
Tonight it was for the first time though I noticed the similar light was shining through the window of the bathroom while I was taking a bath. As if I thought I were in Kokura's house.
You see this indicates the truth of deja vu. Deja vu is not what we see now. Deja vu is the feeling as if I were in the same place or time that I experienced. When we relaxed, this feeling appears.

Statistics & Antithesis

Statistics & Antithesis
2007.02.27 23:56

Someone raise one example that is directly against my idea. All rules have exceptions. He is merely showing the existence of exceptions.
Someone raise statistics and try to criticise my idea from statistical view point. What is right or wrong doesn't fit the argument of majority or minority.
I can't argue sanely in my informal get-together.

Exaggeration & Vanity

Exaggeration & Vanity
2007.02.27 3:13

Cram schools, prep schools are just so common in Japan's society. In their advertisement they tend to show off the number of students who passed some of the extremely competitive universities like the University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, Medical schools. One cram school was warned by fair trade committee that the number of the passed be exaggerated. I was lucky to be fired by the very school many years ago.
The power of cram school is so limited, they like to borrow the aura given off by those prestigious schools. Might they show a larger number instead of showing the actual number out of their same feeling that they must have felt in showing those prestigious names of schools?

In Japanese anime, many women are very pretty -big and clear eyes and long nose, and their bosoms were exaggerated. Their anime is a phenomenon of their unfulfilled wish.

The Commuter Train

The Commuter Train
2007.02.27 2:25

Those compatmentsa are very often packed like a sardine in rush hours, 7-9 and 17-20. This is very common in any big cities in Japan. We mustn't move our hands, body. These acts are regarded molestation.

Hugging

Hugging
2007.02.27 2:07

Hugging is common way of greetings in Western culture. But this way is not common in Japan. If we try to hug a woman before we leave, she will reject strongly. If we do this between men, others will consider we are gay.
I think it's because the land of our country is so narrow so we've learned to keep some distance from each other in natural way from ancient times.
We do instead bow, we tend to keep about one metre from each other and tend to repeat bowing. Westerners might think we are playing see-saw.

Blood Type

Blood Type
2007.02.27 1:32

Because Japanese people are much more homogenised than Americans, we like to categorise our characters by our blood types.
There are four blood types. Type O is characterised by ambitious, energetic, enthusiastic, bold, showing leadership, tolerance, acceptance, summarising, paranoiac, fanatic. Type A is astute, rigoristic, theoretical, analytical, formal, traditional, scholastic, systematic. Type B is liberal, unique, novel, revolutional, creative, artistic. Type AB has two characters that are found in both A and B, so sometimes called schizophrenic, double character. Combination men O and women A, B, AB are much better than men A and women B, men B and women A, AB themselves. Combination women O is only well fit with men O.

2.26

2.26
2007.02.27 0:19

In 1936, on the 26th of February was still very cold, cold enough to have had a snowfall in Tokyo. This very day 2.26 incident occurred. This was an insurgency plotted by one sect within military. At that time military was devided by two main sects, one was moderate and the other ultranationalistic. 2.26 incident was led by the latter, ultranationalistic one.
This day happens to fall on the birthday of my love. 71 years later today it was a hot day in another meaning.

Resource Of Wages

Resource Of Wages
2007.02.26 23:24

I thought it is a price for our labour. But the manager of our premises said it derives from profit we earned.
Strange.
Suppose if our salary were derived from the profit, we can't earn it if no profit was made. On the other hand we can get much more if we can get more profit than expected.
If our salary is a compensation for our labour, we can get our salary regardless of whether our company came up with no profit or much more profit.
Things are our salary ought to be paid regardless how much profit our company generated. Profit has to be reflected in our bonus, incentives, perk, or pay increase.

Interpretation Of Dreams

Interpretation Of Dreams
2007.02.24 1:38

I often have the similar dream which is I am chased by someone or something that is superior to me. Then at some point I can get away with their chase after I was able to fly.
I was struck by the mook that was being displayed in a bookshelf at the entrance of some supermarket. The title of the book was 'The Interpretation Of Dreams' In a cover seven dreams are interpretted as follows.
Dream being chased - you have a complex. Dream being fallen - you are losing your confidence. Dream you fly - you are ambitious. Dream your teeth being pulled out -destruction of your family. Dream you are in labyrinth - struglle between your spirit and body. Dream you have sex - frustration. Dream you have a party -hoping encounter.
Accoding to these interpretations, I have a complex and I am ambitious.

Fly

Fly
2007.02.22 1:33

Fly in February is completely out of the season. Usually in May. Mayfly means 'noisy' in Japanese. One fly entered my room. The one generated owing to unusually warm winter.
In our Buddhist belief, we are not supposed to kill any livings. I tried to get it out, now it has gone outside.
It was really noisy.

Thorn

Thorn
2007.02.21 3:47

Poet Rilke was killed by the thorn of rose by which he got injured. Recently I was injured from the fin of fish, part of the fin is deep inside my index finger of my left hand. Was he suffered from leukaemia? Or is the inflammation from the injure the cause of his death? If the thorn were pulled out, the injure would be cured soon. So harsh.

Many young people quit their job. Once they deviate from an ordinary course, it's so hard for them to enter the regular workforce again. Instead many are absorbed into dispatched labour force. Their pay is considerably lower than that of the ordinary workforce. I can see some day in the near future many of them are enlisted in regular force. Some of them are willing to take part in the force because of the benefit they will get. Personal poverty will be the storehouse for the military force.

Religion

Religion
2007.02.20 23:31

I didn't like religion until recently, yet I started reading Torah about five years ago. I have often thought religion is irrational.
Religion is irrational, it's true, however our real world is also irrational. Many years ago I thought religion is more irrational than the real world. But now I thought religion is more rational than the real world.
Our real world is an endless result of irrationality. However long we live, we can't oevercome this irrationality. Religion is based on only one irrationality, which is not verifiable by anyone. We don't have to get over this irrationality because religion statrs from this irrationality.
Which do you choose to live in reality or in religion?

Contraceptive

Contraceptive
2007.02.20 1:28

She bought me a contraceptive, but actually a spermicide, a tab for insertion. Effective ingredient is Menfegol, which kills semen inside her vagina.
I used it for the first time. She knew more than me as to sexology. Her body was very warm last night. She said she can tell whether the day falls on her egg-day. Both we are over 45, we don't want kids.

Ganache

Ganache
2007.02.20 1:05

I like ganache chocolate, so I buy it and have it almost everyday. In Japan there's a custom a woman sends a chocolate to a man whom she likes on St Valentine's Day. I got two chocolates. Both two were ganache chocolates.
Ganache chocolate was much more expensive than ordinary plain chocolate and it was hard to buy in a supermarket many years ago -ganaches were able to buy only in a French patisserie. Thanks to the recent technological development, ganache chocolates have been comercialised and many new products are sold in a store. But the ganaches they gave me are the ones bought in a patisserie. I finished had them in two days, feeling how my responsibility over them -two women are heavy.

Handmade Chocolate

One of our coworkers made us a handmade chocolate. I had a bit of it and it was more delicious than ready made cakes. She's going to turn her 45 years soon. I never regard her as a woman since we are working in a closed area, in such a situation inhibition and harmony work together, but love never gains power.

She was an interim love on one day.

Who's Anti-Christ?

Who's Anti-Christ?
2007.02.15 23:34

As long as I know the anti-Christ means those who claim to be Christ in Greek, Messiah in Hebrew, the anointed one in English, anyway a Saviour.
According to some woman, she concluded that the anti-Christ is those who oppose the idea that Jesus is a Saviour and a son of God.

Avalanche

Avalanche
2007.02.15 4:16

Avalanche never occurred in winter. Mostly in April, rarely in March. It usually occurred in the midst of spring. But in February, this winter, it occurred owing to an unusually hot winter. No one anticipated. Two people were dead as a result.

St Valentine's Day

St Valntine's Day
2007.02.15 3:59

So far I have received no chocolate. This is a barometre of popularity in Japan. I will receive at least two?, maybe.

Brittany

Brittany
2007.02.14 4:07

Brittany is a peninsula and one region in France. People who inhabitted here must be the first setller in the Great Britain. They must have named after their homeland when they found much larger island. When Briton moved to America and made independent 13 states, they chose their national flag after the flag of Brittany.

Hidden Truth In History

Hidden Truth In History
2007.02.14 3:37

In 1939 Chinese military personels trained by German advisors were equipped by Czecho made submachinegun ZB26 imported by Germany. I thought it was some mistake in broadcasting. I tried looking it up. Tripartite pact was signed in September, 1940. The Battle of Shagnai was in July 1937. The siege of Nanjin was in December, 1937. So German aid was held before the pact. But their aid continued as long as they was able to camouflage, in German Tarnung even after the pact was in effect.

The Birth Of Japan

The Birth Of Japan
2007.02.14 2:33
Once upon a time in Korean peninsula, many peoples were fighting. One people were extradicted to small islands off the coast. They were called Wa, which means small, because their islands were much smaller than the land in peninsula. They were outnumbered so they started moving to other islands. They found relatively bigger islands. Though they still kept on being called Wa.

Wa is the old name for Japan. This story is not a fiction.

The Fate of Two Strangers

The Fate of Two Strangers
2007.02.14 2:07

Japanese woman Yoshiko Yamaguchi was born in Fushun, China's region Manchuria to Japanese parents in 1920. Later she became famous as Chinese singer known to Li Xianglan. After the war ended, she was caught and interrogated whether she committed the crime of treason, Hanjian, which means Chinese traitor, she was acquitted because she was identified as Japanese.
Aisin Gioro, a woman born in 1907, one of the daughters from the last royal family of Qing dynasty was sent to Japan in her youth, after raised and educated in Japan she was sent back to Shanghai, China and known as Yoshiko Kawashima. This is a Japanese name. She was executed by Kuomintang government in treason or Hanjian in 1948. If she were certified as Japanese, she would be acquitted. She was refused to be identifed as Japanese by Japanese government. She was Manchurian Chinese in linege.
The fate of two stranges was completely opposite. Kawashima vanished in the valley of history. Yamaguchi later became the member of the Upper House and still alive. She's now 86 years old. We are now watching the film of her entire life.

Reason Of Crime

Reason Of Crime
[#163272 ] 2007.02.12 4:46

For some criminals, this world is a full of wickedness and immorality. Therefore they thought they had to punish those who live in this real world.
Strange, but this is often the reason of crime they committed.

First Invasion From China

China and Japan fought many wars. But China never invaded Japan. Why? China located in the most affluent area, so they didn't have to get out of the land they live. Instead many surrounding peoples often invaded China. Both Mongolian and Manchurian once conquered Han people and established some dynasty in China's long history.

One time there was a time Mongolian Empire had invaded Japan in 1274-1281. Han people came along with their ruler at that time -Mongolians, but they were reluctant to come here. The number of soldiers they sent to Japan was 53000. Aside from this, Japanese always kept on invading China. The first war between two countries occurred in 663. Japan sent 32000 personels. Baegang -one of the three countries in Korea, and Japan, those two countries had formed a kind of united kingdom at that time. Japan lost the War of Baegang. The navy of Tong dynasty was much stronger and bigger than that of Japan.

In 1592 to 1598, Japan again tried to invade China by sending roughly 150000 soldiers in Korea twice. Korean fought the war in alliance with Chinese Ming dynasty. Japan lost.

The last war between China and Japan took place in 1937 to 1945. The first landing place was Shanghai, later they invaded up to Nanjing. The atrocity Japanese army made was only comparable to Soviet-German War from 1941 to 1945.

Recently the sky of my town is foggy. Local meteorologists claim the air from rapidly industrialised area around Shanghai is coming here. This is the first invasion by China from the air. The country whose economy is significantly declining can do nothing for it but to look on this.

Taboo Word

Taboo Word
2007.02.10 1:12

Why they don't like to be told 'sorry' between loves & lovers. If it's truly united one, no need to say so one another.
Sorry is a word for the compensation that ones cannot fulfil their love enough.

Price Of Beauty

Price Of Beauty
2007.02.10 0:03

There is a Japanese famous television programme that has been aired once in a year in which women are introduced before and after they made a cosmetic surgery. I noticed that so so pretty women never become prettier than before. Those who had particulary bad point in their face can be cured completely well.
In today's medical technic, almost all women can be much prettier than before. It takes probably 30-50 thousand dollars. The nutrition of Japanese had been apparently bad mainly because their religion -Buddhism prohibited kiling animals to eat. So fatty eyelid, short nose, big nostils are so common, besides their arangement of teeth, the line of jaw are also bad for some reasons. I think all are related to bad nutrition for a long time.
Now they can obtain a very pretty face if only they spent thirty thousand dollars. But their obtained beauty is not hereditary. Their offsprings will face similar problems. After all their beauty has something to do with their economy. Japanese hadn't had meat for more than millennium. Now they are rushing to pay their debt at once.

Evolution Or Natural Selection?

Evolution Or Natural Selection?
2007.02.09 5:09

Mackerel has a strange eye-like design in their back. As long as they remain just design, they are just the result of natural selection. If those eye-like pattern back of mackerel turn to real eyes, that is evolution.

First In First Out

First In First Out
2007.02.09 4:25

First in first out is the term used in selling products. We all tend to choose the newest one when we buy something, because the newer the products, the longer we can use. We ought not to supply new products until all older ones are sold out. Consumers tend to choose newer ones, so if they found the newer ones besides older ones, we can't stop their buying newer ones. We are taught to store newer ones behind the older ones in a shell. That's nothing but a deception to consumers.
First in first out is the term used in labour force. Those who were engaged in a job earlier ought not to be fired prior to firing new ones. Labourers are not products to sell. Exactly. But in order for a company to be viable, sometimes first in had better get out first.

Back Design Of Mackerel

Back Design Of Mackerel
2007.02.09 3:42

Back design of mackerel is grotesque, so similar to many eyes. Their design protects them from being had by their natural foes. Only those who had such designs have been able to survive. That's the meaning of natural selection. Their design is not a result of evolution.

Feedback

Feedback
2007.02.08 7:11

One domestic company made a coke many years ago. I tried drinking one. I was unable to sleep after drinking it, and after I sleep I had a nightmare. Apparently the quantity of caffein was too strong. No more please.
One domestic company made cocoa recently. I tried having one. I was unable to sleep for a while because that caused rapid palpitation. The quantity of cacao that contains polyphenol must have been too much. Soon I quit having it.
It must take years for producers to come up with some product to finally commercialise, but because they saved such a process, they are making use of a dynamism formed by consumers whether the products get populality. So far few products succeeded. It requires bigger market to conduct such surveys. It is needless to say mulitinational corporations have got more superiority in reflecting consumer's inclinations. What lacks greatly in domestic company is the effective commercialisation reflecting feedback.

At World War II in European West theatre once German troops surrounded the American army. Germans proposed American counterpart to surrender. The reply Americans sent was just one word 'Nuts'. I am not sure whether Germans understood the meaning of the word.
Last night my girlfriend asked, pointing out the pictures in advertisement of intel and slashdot, what the brain-like objects are, I answered 'it's nuts'. She said 'I see.'
I had no idea why nuts means a fool in English until she points out. Brain made of nuts must be 'nuts'.

Virginie and Paul, Abelard and Heloise, there are many couples who have been thought one of the best couples in the world, though, I wonder who are the best couple.
Best couple is not based on comparison to others. The couples that bear the best results in their life are the best.
I hope I find the best partner first.

I deleted 300 emails from her without reading them back, those were sent during 5 months -from July 2006 to November 2006. Only void left. Probably I was not supposed to do so, but I did it because I didn't like to read Japanese.
I'm not certain I am serious enough to keep on our relations. I feel certain limits.

Communion

Communion
2007.02.03 3:10

Jesus Christ commanded to hold only one ceremony in his whole life to recall the true meaning of his crusification. This ceremony is called Communion or the Eucharist. He said in the Last Supper that the unleavened bread represents his body and wine his blood. The message he wanted to send might be that the today's prosperity was not built in a day but brought under tens of thousands of sacrifices our forerunners made. Communion is held every Sunday in Cathoric. In some sect this ceremony is held annually in the season of Passover as Jesus did just before his compensation.

History is a chronology by the strong. It's not a record of what really occurred, but rather a record of what really became how.
Learn not history itself, but something from history.

Stove

Stove , 2007.02.03 2:11 (0 comments)
For the first time in ten years I brought the oil heater out of the warehouse, now I'm using it in a room surrounded by walls and shutters made in wood and paper. We don't have a furnace in our room, let alone chimneys, so it's improper for us to use gas stove or something similar because there's no exchange of air in the room. Because our room is not made of materials enough to protect from coldness and wind, we are vulnerable to coldness. The lowest temperature tomorrow morning will cross the zero centigrade. I'd better take a rest soon.

Strength For The Earthquake

Strength For The Earthquake
2007.02.03 1:36

Japan is prone to the earthquakes, so there's a standard in the strength for the hit of earthquake. If one building can't have enough strength in the event of earthquakes, it won't be permitted to construct. Many buildings including hotels and skyscraper condos had failed to fulfill these criteria. Some are ordered to destruct all and reconstruct after all were constructed. They forged the document thinking their unjust is not likely to reveal.
No one would doubt whether thier buildings were constructed by using proper material before the earthquake and no one would be unable to confirm whether those builings were constructed by using materials strong enough to endure in the event of earthquake after all buildings were destructed by earthquake.
Devisers must have thought they successfully get away with punishment, but they didn't realise there's an earthquake before the real earthquake hit the building.

The End Of Corporation

The End Of Corporation

For corporations the most important matter is trust. They have to end their economic activity when they lost trust among their customers.
Recently many reknown companies accused of selling a product or using material whose consumption term is expired. Once such unjusts revealed, the all products of those companies are sure to be out of the market. Sometimes those companies bankrupt at one night.
