Sense of wonder 感性


Why is it like this? It's something that I even get an uncanny sense. I even feel there is nothing beyond the nature on earth.

なんでこうなってんの?なんか不思議だ。自然に勝るものなんてない。

SAKURA ironic




SAKURA in my home town. Unfortunately I always get sick at this season when SAKURA is full bloomed. I might have something allergy of pollen dust from SAKURA. 2 years ago, I called ambulance. And this year, I took 2 days off from work.... But it doesn't mean I need to stay away from SAKURA season. I love to see SAKURA tree...How ironic....

地元の桜です。桜の季節は必ずと言っていいほど病気になります。桜アレルギーとかあるのかな?2年前には救急車呼んだこともある。今年は会社を2日休んだ。だからと言って桜を嫌う理由にはならない。桜は本当にきれいだよね。皮肉な話だ。

Not a chance まだまだ

そいや先日42になったよ!さすがにもう善良で立派な大人になってるよね俺?う~ん......なってね~とおも~。じゃあもっと頑張れや、俺。

Music and Life


This is Aiemu 1st album & mini album. Apparently they have been around in another band. So I guess Aiemu should be something special unit for a limited time. But anyway, I'm into their music now. Their music just made me realize there were so many underrated people in the world.

スペシャルユニット?の愛笑むさんのCD。ほんといいです。YouTubeで見つけたんだけど、元々は別のユニットで活動してるっぽいです。あまり詳しくはないのですが、自分は今彼らのCDをよく聴いてます。どこの世界にも埋もれてる才能ってたっくさんあるんだなっと改めて感じた2枚。






Aiko & D.A.I. I love the song ''Kabutomushi'' from Aiko. That's the only song I know from her lol But I know every time I listen the song, I just keep repeating the song over and over again. As for D.A.I, I love her voice when she sings. My favorite song from D.A.I is always ''Hi no ataru sakamichi''. But I have to admit that I was just fascinated with her besides her voice lol

AikoとDo as infinityです。Aikoのカブトムシは今でもよく聴いてます。聞き出すとリピートで聴いちゃうくらい好きです。彼女の詩はこの曲しか知らないんだけど 笑 Do as infinityは伴都美子の歌声がめちゃくちゃ好きでハマった。 「日のあたる坂道」 が一番好き。ぶっちゃけ伴都美子が綺麗だから好きになったみたいな...笑






Goo Goo Dolls & American Hi-Fi. I still listen their songs. A song called ''Name''(1995) from Goo Goo Dolls have been my all time favorite song. I first heard this song from car radio when I was exchange student in US, I was instantly stricken. Fadeless song.

グーグードールズとアメリカンハイファイです。今もたまに聴いてるCD。特にグーのNameって名曲があって米国留学時代に車のラジオで聴いたのが最初。一瞬で心持ってかれた感じ。色あせない名曲だね。






Hard Rock & Heavy Meta was first Western music l started listening. These are some bands I was listening when I was 13 ~ early 20's. 90's music is still my favorite music scene regardless of genre.

洋楽はヘビメタやハードロック系から入った。これ系のは中学から大学生くらいまでとてもよく聴いてた。90年代の音楽シーンがジャンル問わず一番心に残ってるかな。



So what kind of music you loved before or you love now? What does music effect your life? I think music is the breath of life for our life. You must have lots of memories no matter what you like or dislike.

皆さんはどんな音楽が好きかな?音楽は皆にとってどんな存在?今では自分らにとって音楽は無くてはならないものって気がする。音楽が残してくれた色々な思い出が誰にでもあるはず。

Task that requires concentration

 I don't know how I maintain my concentration when I'm at work. I did work harder than usual today. And it turned out pretty good result. I was kinda filled with a sense of achievement. I have taken pride in my calling. I just wanted to give myself credit today :)

仕事場での集中力って難しかったりする。今日はいつも以上に集中してた。結果もしっかりと着いて来てた。自分にとって唯一の専門分野でもある天職に就けてる自身を誇りに思ってみたりした。っていうか今日の自分を褒めてやりたかったのだ・・・。

リフレイン

I had so strange day today. Everything went wrong. But I know I didn't do anything wrong. But still it went wrong all the way. Life.

今日は色々と駄目な日だった。プチっと途切れてる日だった。難しい。人は俺を買いかぶり過ぎなんだよ。いい迷惑だ。なんて愚痴るのも久々。明日は何も考えず頑張ろう。おやすみマンモス。

Professional touch 美味い  

パンナコッタのレシピもクリームブリュレのレシピも動画にしてアップしたことあるけど、やっぱプロのスイーツを食べちゃうと動画削除したくなるくらいに美味い 笑

I have uploaded Panna Cotta video recipe, and also Crème brulée video recipe. But I even feel that I have to delete those videos after I had real one from pro lol   Sweets from executive chef are amazing. No doubt about it.

Blog of This & That あれこれブログ


実はノートパソコンが壊れてた。ブログも更新できなかった。運よくパソコン修理が得意な人がいて修理してもらった。アメリカ仕様になってるからかキーボードの使い方が色々わからない。でもとりあえず動いてくれたので感謝。

そんな理由でお休みしていた間のちっちゃな出来事をブログってみようかな。

其の一。
ウォ―ルマートで80ドルの自転車を買った。12ドルのワイヤーロックも買った。合計で約92ドル。海へ出かけて泳いだ。自転車の鍵をポケットに入れたままだった。紛失した。どうにもならないのでLocksmithを呼んでワイヤーを切ってもらった。95ドル掛かった。あれ?・・・

其の二。
電車の席で隣に座ってきた中年のおばさんの話。細身のワンピースを着たちょいセクシーな金髪のおばさん。若い時はちやほやされてた感たっぷり。香水の香りもなかなか。でも何か別の香りもした。アルコールのにおいだ。このおばさん、ワインのようなものを飲みながら完全に酔っ払ってやがる。「あなたどこ行くの?」「どこに住んでるの?」「何してる人?」色々と質問される度にアルコールの匂いがプンプン。けっこうきれいな人だったから不思議とショックだったりした 笑 そのおばさんがイメージする日本人像はこうだ。『ルールに従う国民』だって。酔っぱらいながらも、一応日本人の僕を立ててくれた 笑  

ちなみに画像のようなリムジンをよく見かけるけど、彼らはなぜ、窓を開けて通行人に叫ぶの?今のところ3回出くわしたけど、3回とも窓からこっちに向かって何か叫んでた。なにかのお祝い事?よくわからないので、毎回手を振ってイエーイと言い返してる。なんかバカっぽく見えてるかも。


Actually my laptop was broken. I couldnt update blog. But fortunately my friends friend know how to solve it. He used to work at repair company as engineer. So its been fixed however I still have trouble with the new key boad typing. It maybe US version now. But thanks to my friends friend!    

For that reason, I have some itty-bitty episodes from my absence.

Episode. 1. 
I bought 80 dollars bike at WALMART. I also bought 12 dollars wire-lock for the bike. So the total cost was about 92 dollars. I went to beach. I was swimming while my bike key was in my pocket. It`s gone in the sea water. I just left my bike and back to hotel. I called locksmith to cut the wire-lock. It cost 95 dollars.     .... !!!!!!????           Life goes on....

Episode.2.
This is a story of middle aged lady who was sitting next to me in the train. She was wearing slim fit one piece dress. She looked kinda pretty lady. As for my vision, I think she is the one who used to get a lot of attentions when she was young lol She smells like perfume and there was also something smell other than her perfume. It was alcohol. She had something wine on her one hand. And I saw her completely drunk. She started asking me "Where are you going?" "Where are you staying?" "What do you do?"... Every time she asked me something, I smelled big alcohol from her. Since I thought she was kinda pretty lady, I was a little disappointed (with the fact she was totally drunk in the train) lol  But anyways, she told me that she had some images of Japanese people. She said "Japanese people follow the rules". Well she still treated us with some respect even though she was drunk IN THE TRAIN lol 

btw I often see limousine like the photo in here. Why do people in the limousine shout to passersby? Every time I see it, they find me on the sidewalk and start to shout something at me from the window as if they are crazy people. I have come across this situation 3 times so far. I should celebrate them for something, right? But I dont know how, so I always wave to them and just say Yaaay... Do I look stupid?lol

Casual blog てきとうブログ

TV見てたら昔の映画がやってた。特にロッキー2とベストキッドは中学生の頃に見てめちゃくちゃ燃えたのを思い出した。「Yo Adrian! I did it!」 とか 「Mr Miya~gi」 とかの台詞が懐かしいなぁ。


I was watching old movies on TV show called throwback Thursday. I used to love ROCKY2 and KARATE KID when I was junior high. '' Yo Adrian, I did it!'' or Mr.Miyaaaagiiii'' just bring back memory.

Japanglish Preacher  説教

今日はホテルのシャトルバスの運ちゃんが警備員と喧嘩したらい。機嫌が悪かったようで運転が荒くえらい目にあった。なのでホテルについてから一発ぶん殴っておいた 笑 それは嘘だけど、20秒くらい俺様のJapanglishで説教してやったわ。いやいや、マジ客なめんなよ。

Today, the shuttle bus driver from my hotel seemed he had argument with some security at the gate. So I saw him completely in bad mood. He also started to drive recklessly. That was not nice. I don't care your problem. So I just lectured him in my Japanglish for 20 seconds when we got back to the hotel lol But seriously, I might want to break his nose next time.

Food Network アメリカのTV番組 

アメリカのFood Networkという食べ物をテーマにした専門のTVチャンネル。いつみても何時間見ても飽きない。とにかくホストや出演者のキャラも最高で、演出がさすがアメリカといった感じ。US版の料理の鉄人Cutthroat KitchenChoppedなど番組も様々だけど、中でも超アメリカンテイストなDiners, Drive-Ins and DivesRestaurant Impossibleなんかはホストのキャラが強くて楽しすぎる。

Food Network

I just watch Food Network when I'm back in hotel room. I just love watching this show. I wish I could still watch this back in Japan...

ps:SORTEDfood reminds me of Food Network.

Gender equality 女性差別


日本では男女平等を促進させる動きが多少あるとはいえ、ここアメリカの男女平等を尊重した社会と比較すとまるで扱いが違う。それぞれの国の事情もあるから一概に男女平等の社会を称賛するつもりはないけど、日本もおおいに見習い続けなければならない問題の一つだと。runnyは何を偉そうに言ってるんだろう・・・

写真はサンディエゴはコロナド島からの夜景


In Japan, there is a movement toward gender equality. But I see that it's in a totally different situation from US where has better perspective of gender equality (IMO). I wouldn't give too much credit because everybody has their own reasons. But still it's the issue that we have to make better by following other country. I hope I'm not bullshitting...

Not my fault とれないんだけど


コルク落ちちゃったよ。もう取れないじゃんか。ワインなんか料理にしか使わないし、酒飲まないからコルクなんか開ける機会そうないんだよ。だから俺のせいじゃないよ。

I don't know how to pull out the cork properly. I don't have much opportunities to uncork because I don't drink alcohol. I use it only for cooking. So it's not my fault.

Japanglish あはははは  

Costcoって日本でコストコだけどアメリカではコスコ。現地の人に場所聞いてたら日本語のコストコってそのまま言い続けてしまってて、理解できなかったようで困らせてしまった。間違いに気づくの遅すぎ俺。ごめんね!

Costco, we Japanese call it '' Kosutoko''. But in US, they call it '' Kosko'', right? Someone had a big trouble with my ''Kosutoko'' when I was asking about it. After this guy really tried to get what I meant, I realized that I was using Japanese-English. I should have realized it earlier...haha Sorry America!

Correspondという英単語がちょっと気になっただけ

今日のブログはCorrespondという英単語の使い方が気になってるだけの記事。

I was just wondering if I'm using the word ''correspond'' properly. Can you correct me or maybe give me some suggestions for another example?

''I'm trying to correspond this chair to the chair in the photo.'' 

Is this understandable?

Peter Rabbit うさぴょん♪

今日帰り道でウサギがぴょんぴょん。野生のうさちゃんだってさ。昔留学してた時にはりすはよく見かけたことあった。ここは海も近いから次は人魚に会いたいな。男版はいらん。

I came across wild rabbit on my way home today. I didn't know there is wild rabbit in the city in US. I saw squirrel many times when I was an exchange student in US before. I might want to see the little mermaid next time because the beach is close by. No thanks merman though....
