I really do not think it`s a good invention that can make a difference---for the moment we`re using twitter to inform people of an accident or sth like that, we can actually do sth focusing on , experiencing with much more deep insight, what`s happening before our eyes. Cosidering twitter from a different point of view, I want to ask the people who are using it how they can make time to face to the computers, I guess they have a plenty of free time.
unagi
I ate Unagi yesterday. It was very nice.
However, I thought unagi is good but the sause is not sweet. I like amadare so that I like Yoshinoya's unajuu than this expensive one.
how green r u
I'm not green too. But, when I was elementary school student, I took a bath in dark bathroom not to use much electricity. So, my mother was surprised and said to light on. Now, I try to reduce energy to use but I'm not sure I can reduce it.
By the way, I'm going to go to Enoshima and clean the beach. Enoshima is famous for its beach and many people visit there in Summer. But, some of them leave a lot of garbage. So, the beach is always dirty.

How Green R U?
I don't think I am enough green. Because I often waste foods, electricity, water and so on. I know that I have to care about these things more and more. For example, I have to cut the time to run the water when I take the bath, I have to eat food which I don't like, I have to turn off the switch fo the air conditioner, light of the room... There are many thing that I can care in my ordinaly life!! I promise that I keep this in my mind!
Recently, there are tooooo many homework, aren't there? I am very worry that I won't be able to finish them by the deadline X( I'll do my best.

How Green R U
In my case, I refuse a vinyl bag when I pay the bill in the supermarket and jam foods into my own bag. I think simply it is obstacle for me because it is only one time to use it when I bring food into my room. That's reason. When I was a boy fresh from the country, I always receive the vinyl bags. But, I noticed they are no useful ways except to bring food and it is the cause to increase garbage in my room. So, I decided not to receive the vinyl bags. Also, I always buy compact fluorescent lamps when the previous one is no longer used. Actually, it is more expensive than incandescent light bulbs and it takes a little much time to be well-lighted.
But, the good points of compact fluorescent lamps are to save the more cost of energy consumption and to stand longer use than incandescent light bulbs. At first, I don't use them because incandescent light bulbs are cheaper than them overwhelmingly. However, their energy held only 2 months and decided to buy them. It was when I receive the electricity bills that I really feel the marvelous effect of them. I think you know what I want to say. Anyway, I think the most important thing to protect earth is not to share too heavy a burden for us. I don't think my action is too heavy. Refusing the vinyl bag and buying compact fluorescent lamps can't be too heavy. If you have other plans, please tell me.

To protect the environment is very important for the earth, (we know, of course). What I often do for the environment is saving on electricity because it can also save my electric bill!! And as well as electricity, I also try to save on water. On the other day, I got an assignment at a Aoyama Standard class. The professor told us to examine the budget of water we use per a day and hand in a report. As he said, I examined my budget and thought "I use toooooooo much water!!!". The reason came from the budget in bathroom.
I live in a dormitory now and each room has a bathroom with a toilet, so I always take a shower only without taking a bath. However, despite this, I use too much water. I think it's because the faucet (the device thet controls the flow of water from a pipe) is divided into two parts- cold water and hot water. Because it is hard for me to adjust the temperature of the water, I often let water flowing witout stopping it. That causes me to use more water than general.
Thus I noticed I use water so much and I thought I have to care about it. Therefore I started saving water recentry. Of caurse about electricity, I have saved on it for a long time and I will have saved as well forever as my mother told me to do so.
Noticing if we use how much quantity on electricity, water, and so on is less easy and we have few chance to notice it, but we should notice and improve it somehow!!

Today and yesterday
Yesterday, I went to the International Exhibition Hall which is placed near the Odaiba.
A big scale of clothing sale was held there. I get some cloth :) After the sale, I went to Ginza for celebrating my father's birthday. I had a great day.
Today was raining day. Since my hair become kinky when it rains, I hate rainy season:(
I had the test of TOFEL today and I went to Komaba exam station. This was the first time to receive exam in that station. Of course, I searched the place on the Internet yesterday, but I lost my way to go Komaba exam station today. I walked and walked...my map almost wet and its letters were hazed over,my hair was kinky and I got wet. I had a bad day and today was the day that I hate rain more.
Do you like rainy season? if your answer is "yes", please teach me how to like this season.

Mirage
Last Tuesday, we watched a short film, "Mirage". This story is about a robot who looked for water and tried to collect it to keep living. There were only a little water from flowers, so he could not get it a lot. When he kept walking, he found a tank of water. He decided to break it and got water, but a fish came out from the tank and it seemed to need water, too. He hesitated at first, but decided to put it in the water in his body.
I think this film shows importance of water. We, humans, also cannot live without water, but usually do not think about it in our daily lives. If there are only a little water, we have to share them and help each other like the robot.

mirage
The short animation that I watched last Tuesday was so complicated to me. That robot boy needed water in his stomach to live. So, he broke something like balloon filled of water to get water. But the gold fish(?) was in there. when he broke it, the fish fell down on the ground. he felt sorry for the fish. And he put the fish in his stomach......I can't understood the last well.
Then, what happened to them?

Mirage
Last Tuesday I saw a short movie, "Mirage".
This is a story about a robot boy who need to collect water to keep living.
I think this robot boy resembled human because he needed water.
He got water from plants, but it seemed that there were not much water,
and it is hard work for him to collect water.
At the end of this movie, he found much water and robbed water of a fish.
But he finally helped the fish by taking him in his water tank.
It is hard for us to think there were no water.
So, we tend to think it is natural fot us to get water without any difficulty.
But, water is also what the earth provide us,
and we should not take it for granted that we can get water every time.
And if we lost water, we would share little water with other creatures like the robot boy did in the movie.
This movie enabled me to think about water, about which we don't tend to think.

Rainy day
It is rainy today;(
Speaking of rain, there is a global environmental problem, acid precipitate.
It influences not only Japan but also all over the world.
The tree is dead because of it, since acid precipitate is absorbed from roots.
Moreover, buildings are destroyed.
Nowadays, people works for it.
However, Japanese people have little interest in acid precipitate.
I think we must know more about environment issue.

I didn't know about Twitter until Dr. Armstrong talked about it during class. As Yuri did, I also searched for Twitter on the Internet. I also thought it was something like Mixi or myspace, but it seemed like it was a really simple blog. Twitter might be good for people like me who can't continue blogs since there is limitation in the character. I am not really sure of the negative points since I have never used Twitter before, but the positive point is that you are able to protect and block your messaging. Maybe it is possible to think as a "mini" Mixi.
Yuri- I didn't make an account yet but really interested in it so thinking about making one. It would be great if we used Twitter in some kind of way for class.

I went to Twitter.com straightaway when I came back to home yesterday after class.
During the class, I thought Twitter was like mixi but after I visited Twitter.com , I noticed the difference between mixi that you can express your feelings by a little bit of characters. Sometimes there are times that I want to express my feelings with a single word or communicate with others like chatting. So I'm very interested to sign up for Twitter right now.lol
Did anyone made an account?

Mirage
I am writing about Mirage again.
I begin to read The Time Traveler written by H. G. Wells.
Wells wrote the future world where two people live is.
One is Eloi who have beauty, but are short and rack of intelligence because they want the development of technology.
They do not need their intelligence in the future, so they are rack of intelligence.
I think a boy robot's body is like Eloi.
Because of the development of technology, a boy robot became also the strange body.
His body is the result of the development of technology.
Today, we, including me, ask for the moon, so we decline ourselves things.

Mirage
On last Tuesday, we watched "Mirage" which was created by Korean creator.
I found it difficult because I know it has profound messages.
Mirage is an effect caused by hot air which makes you think that you can see objects when they are not actually there.
Through I watched the video, I thought that human is a mirage. I mean human disappeared easily if we don't depend on nature as mirage. Mirage never happen when there isn't hot air and hot air is a natural phenomenon.
Nature create human and human create nature.
I think that is a cycle.

We watched Mirage on last Tuesday.
Mirage means illusion and it is not good meaning in Japanese.
The boy robot's body save some water.
If he is rack of water, he is weak.
This means water is his life.
He wanted water, so he broke the fruit which is in gold fish.
Gold fish also needs water.
The boy robot picked it up in his body.
We should share a lot of things to live together.

oushou
Today, I went to Gyouzano Oushou with my friends Ayaka and Yuson. A old woman sit next to us and talk to us. At first we interested in her talk but after tha dinner came, her talk went boring. We wanted to concente on eating. We ate most of foods but 2noodles were left. Because we were full. Then, the woman pointed out our leftovers. "Oh, what a waste! Rich person are different to me. ohhhh" We felt sad. I decide not to go to Oushou again.
Mirage
We watched the silm, Mirage last Tuesday.
I think he was conflicted between his physiological desire and the life of the goldfish.
He chose his desire.
But he put it into him and the goldfish was brought back to life.
According to this film, I think all creatures in this world cannot live without water.

Tomorrow
Hi!
We will have no class tomorrow!
I usually have two Chinease Class on Saturday, so it is hard for me to take enough rest on weekends.
Although I have many things to do such as homework, I will sleep for many hours and make myself rest. I am really happy now.
If it is fine tomorrow, I am going to wash cloths.
These days we have much rain especially in evenings.
I don't want to keep cloths which need wasing.
So I hope it will sunny tomorrow.
I want to make good use of this weekend.
See you!

MIRAGE
We watched the film, MIRAGE in last Tuesday.
The action and thoughts of the robot symbolize human beings. The robot has to gain water to live and this is necessary for him, so he tried to kill fish to get water. However he put it into water( his body )after having gained water. This display his tenderness, guilt, and so on. The relationships between the robot and the fish look like the relationships between human and animals, I think.

new environment
Starting a new life as a Aoyamagaguin student, environment around me has totally changed. One of the biggest change is that I'm not living with my family and most of the people are strangers to me. I found it a bit difficult at first, but I'm used to it now. I made new friends and I managed to live on my own. I think I'm good at fitting into a new environment. But sometimes I miss my family.

I found some funny short films so I'll just share it with you.

First of all the moment I saw the movie I thought the movie's robot looked like this music video from Bjork called "All Is Full Of Love". Everyone CHECK IT OUT!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjAoBKagWQA
The story from my point of view was that in order to survive,we need to make sacrifices. Especially for this robot it seemed like it needed fresh water, and it is a very limited source compared to the sea water. After showing the sacrifice, the robot put the fish into him and made it come back to life. Maybe this was something where the director wanted us to think of the different ways we might find to live with other species, and also rethink of what we humans are doing to the environment.

hair salon
I went to hair salon on Monday to dye my hair to bright brown^^ but, since i dyed my hair to black for a cheer leading championship it was difficult to make my hair to color brown... so I will try to go to the salon again as soon as possible...
Mirage
I think the video shows the natural providence. The robot can't live without water, so he try to get water with every means which he can do. Also, we do for gerring food. For example,we kill the animals to eat. We live with helping each other.
Mirage
The short film we watched on last class, Mirage, made me to think what human always do as some people have already said...As the robot was looking for the water to survive his life, human is also looking for something every time to live or to save its life. The robot almost kill the fish to get water, which shows human kills other lives to save himself. I think we cannot do anything about it such as killing other lives to live, but we shouldn't forget about it and try to save other lives such as the environment.
Today
I am going to go the lake Yamanaka for the soccer camp, one of group activities. I'm a manager of soccer club. I want to enjoy this!

mirage
The movie "Mirage"was trying to express about the necessities for human. In the movie, the robot boy was about to die when his energy(water) was almost gone. This represents how humans are being alive by some kind of energy for example food. Next, the boy found a tap water and decided to climb to the top to get water from there. This shows that human are always searching for what they want which I agree to Yusaku's opinion that it is implying humans possessiveness.
I felt this movie was trying to let us understand the connection between the human and the nature.
And I also agree to Kotaro's opinion which says that we tend to overlook what we really have to cherish when we are fulfilled with our necessities. For example, in the movie, the boy broke the tap water to charge his energy without thinking about the tree. But when he heard the tree's anger voice, he stopped filling his body with water because he realized that the fish also needed water to survive.

The second thought on Mirage
Writing the last comment I remember the scene the robot pierce the egg-like sphere filled with the water. I thought the scene has some relations to the situation of this world, which is the happening of war and the absence of peace. There has been wars stem from the need of resources , but I guess if we can share the resource with every other countries and nurture the people in its environment, then we can save a lot of lives.
Art into words 4: Mirage
Watching the video called `Mirage` I was reminded of the miracle of my existence nurtured by the surrounding enviroment and the care from others. I had been very indifferent to the careness I received from others, naive, I know, but the living cycle of fish, the robot and the ocean was so compelling to me that I realized the importance of careing others and nurturing.
When we are filled with the feeling of warmth so long we`re inclined to overlook the kindness, I think.

Mirage
We watched a movie 'Mirage' in our last class.
In this movie, there is a robot, I think this is the symbol of human being. He has a person's face and mechanical body. And he searched water to be alive. Dr. Armstrong told us, 70% of human beings' bodies are water, and we cannot live three days without water. On the other hand, I noticed tha there were some lights in this movie. I thought something that have light were creatures which have lives, for example flowers. That is to say, that were nature.
I felt that human beings and nature need each other and live together. So if one of two disappeared, another would die soon. I rethink we have to protect the nature for our lives in the future.

Hi!!
Our class watched a video named "mirage" on last Tuesday and the video told each of us something. The moving image mainly represents "Circle" and "Circle" stands for coexistence between human-beings and nature. In this video, there is a robot, which is a symbol of human, and he searched for water eagerly. This action means that human needs water and without this, we will die in about three days. And this is a weakness point for human-beings. When he serched for water, he found an object concluding a lot of water. He tried to pull out water from the object and finally he decided to destroy it and did so. After he got plenty of water, a fish appeared from the object. He was very surprised, being depressed by it. He caught the fish as quickly as possible and put it in the place where is he always save water, (and the place is a part of his body). He rescued the fish!!
This action told us the importance of coexistance between human-beings and nature and we have got to protect nature without destroying it. The robot of the video represents too developed human and we believe we can do everything, but in fact, we are very very weak without any water. Nature doesn't have will at all and wasn't developed like human, but we human and nature could be the same at the point of weakness.
In addition, the end of the video, the scene the robot is in the sea is the same one as the first. We can also see "Circle" from it.
The video is no language, so we have to understand by only the image. However watching and being able to understand the meaning of the video is very enjoyable, I think.
See you soon!!

About the video that we watched on last Friday, it was weird but i felt interesting, too. I thought that the robot-like boy represented human. Inside his body, there was water and the water kept disappearing from his body really fast. I`m not sure if I took the message from the creater right, but I think that water represent human's desire. People never stop wanting something and when they get satisfied, they hope to get more. So I thought that water in the movie and human`s desire were similar.

What a boring day. I woke up with a sore throat and a runny nose and the next day at school was awful. Then I saw this TV show where they were talking about house dust and mold. I spent the whole day cleaning my room. I can now lick the flooring!
How many of you vaccum without wiping the floor with water first? Because if you are, youre not cleaning anything!
The thing I hat about Japan is the weather! I hate the rainy season. And you using a bed is probably not a good Idea. (ticks!!) I'm sleeping in a different room in a futon right now. I can't wait till summer is over. I hate getting sweaty. Its the best when its a little cold outside so I can wear my hoodies. <3 class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Dojo vol. 22 I didn't even have tickets but I somehow ended up in the venue ahahahaha. This band called Misery Index put on a brutal show!
The last band that played was on stage forever. I went out because it was so boring. The vocalist just kept windmilling his hair.
I met all the bands that played, but my friend and I were talking about how death metal bands are less talkative compared to metalcore bands. This other band that played called Cannibal Corpse almost seemed annoyed when approached by fans. Do you think a band's way of interacting with fans can change depending on the genre of the music they play??
I guess I had a nice time, but I was more upset about how if I got to Shibuya 10 minutes earlier, I would've been able to meet Lady Gaga. (My friend got a picture with her!)
But instead I took photos with this butch dude from Misery Index haha
And everyone loves my banana pencil case :]
Also, some of my friends publish this magazine called No Name Magazine.
Starting this month, it will finally be available at Tower Records and other places. Please check it out! (This month's issue comes with a free CD!)
How many of you vaccum without wiping the floor with water first? Because if you are, youre not cleaning anything!
The thing I hat about Japan is the weather! I hate the rainy season. And you using a bed is probably not a good Idea. (ticks!!) I'm sleeping in a different room in a futon right now. I can't wait till summer is over. I hate getting sweaty. Its the best when its a little cold outside so I can wear my hoodies. <3 class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Dojo vol. 22 I didn't even have tickets but I somehow ended up in the venue ahahahaha. This band called Misery Index put on a brutal show!
The last band that played was on stage forever. I went out because it was so boring. The vocalist just kept windmilling his hair.
I met all the bands that played, but my friend and I were talking about how death metal bands are less talkative compared to metalcore bands. This other band that played called Cannibal Corpse almost seemed annoyed when approached by fans. Do you think a band's way of interacting with fans can change depending on the genre of the music they play??
I guess I had a nice time, but I was more upset about how if I got to Shibuya 10 minutes earlier, I would've been able to meet Lady Gaga. (My friend got a picture with her!)
But instead I took photos with this butch dude from Misery Index haha

Disney
Yesterday I went to Disneyland with my friends because today is my birthday. It rained hard so it wasn't so crowded there. We rode 12 atractions in four hours. I really enjoyed Disneyland!!! Moreover, at just 12 o'clock, they gave me birthday cake and prasents. I was very surprised at it. I felt happy. In evening, I watched the movue with other friend. Unfortunatelly, it was so dull.. But I had a good time with my precious friends.
Good for the environment!!
The other day, there was this television show about growing vegetables at home. After my family watched that show, we went out to buy seeds. We got tomato, herb, basil, aloe, and other seeds. Hope it wouldn't die since our family usually forget to give water to it.
Mirage
Last Thursday, I watched the short movie "Mirage". the word means a dream, hope, or wish that cannot come true. I think the title is very suitable for the content after watching it because I think it signifies the our foolish expectations which caused the pursuit of too much resources for our wrong idea about the environment.I suppose the story tells us about the future of humans who pursues the all kinds of resources like water and oil and implies the black future if we continue our way of living. we know the truth and there many ways to avoid the serious situation. But, it is too heavy a burden for us to do the ways from the points of economy in this time while the means to ease a burden of the environment are developed steadily. Is it really possible to realize the coexistence of human and nature like the last scene of the movie? I was lost in thought after watching it.
Mirage
In the movie, the robot reflects some features that we have. He needs water. He was dazzled by the water and exploited it as much as possible without thinking the consequences; dead plants behind him are the symbol of environmental destruction by human. We often succumb to temptation right in front of us even if we know it will have an unpleasant effect on us in the future. The robot implies this feature of human and this temptation is the Mirage. He also implies the possessiveness( not liking to share things with others) of human. He stopped the tap supplied by the tree on the roof so that he could monopolize it.
As he killed the fruit hanging under the tree, he heard something criticizing voice from the tree. Having heard the voice, he regretted what he did and saved the fish coming out of the fruit. Finally, the robot and the fish swimming happily in the water. This means that environmental problem can be solved, and human and nature can live together if we reconsider what we do to the environment and take actions for it.

I watched some abstract video again today. It was "Mirage". there was a robot. He looks so grotesque that I couldn't like him. In this video, there was some demonstration that Water is very important for oue lives. But, I don't know why he, a robot was searching for water regardless he doesn't need water to live because he is a robot. Maybe, he thought he is a human.

Lonesome George
I remember lonesome George when I hear the word " natural selection". George is Galapagos giant tortoise. Galapagos Islands are famous for natural selection because Darwin discovered theory of evolution in the islands. Galapagos giant tortoises are different island to island. George lives in Pinta Island that is one of Galapagos Islands. But all his company were killed by human. So, he has been alone since then. He had children once but they were already died before they incubated.
Natural selection
The short film we watched in the last class is mysterious and a little bit nonunderstandable..But our group thought that the enemies tried to breed the birds more stronger one and control everything including nature. However their conspiracy was not success. After all, they were dead killing by birds. We can learn that we can't control nature. Also we have to take care of nature and nature will take care of us, too. It means we have to coexist with all of creature on earth and we can't live without nature.
I'm just reading book for my book report..umm many pages have left yet.

My sister
My sister came back home last Saturday from NY which she lives in right now. I was so excited to talk with her because I did not see her for a year. Saturday night, I talked with her a lot of things and shared information around us. I was really happy to share them and could have a good time:) I think I cannot spend time with her a lot because I have my part-time job and many homework. However, I will make a time for her to talk and hang out in this summer.

too busy!!!!!
These days, everyday I am busy. I have to read a book for my book report, write an essey, lean by heart a poem and prepare for my plesentation on next Thursday!!! I feel being pushed for time. People tend to get angry when they can't afford to relax. So, I am nervous these days. Anyone, please help me!!
Bookkeeping test
I finished "the official business skill test in bookkeeping" on last Sunday!! I did my best, but I'm very nervous about my result of the test;; I want to pass it!! Besides this test, I have one more test "Kanji official examination" on next Sunday. (>_<;;) I'm sooo busy! \(^o^;)/..... However, I'm feeling luckey because I can learn so many things these days and thanks to entering university, I have a lot of time to study what I want to know!! There are quite a few things I can know around me, so I have to think it's happy!! I also want to pass STEP 1st grade in the near future. I know it is very very hard to pass, but I want!! It's because I'm learning English at this university!! I study for me, so I don't want to regret and now I want to do what I can do for my future job!! I think "To have own dream" will encourage us to learn more. I have a dream to be a flight attendant, so I can try and try without giving up!! Moreover, I have the person who supports me-my mother!!, so I can hang tough!!
Though after finishing "Kanji official examination" I(our classs) have Book Report No.2 , I want to do my best to the end!!
See you Then!! (._.)ノシ

dead tired
I went to Kokugakuin University to sit in for the EIKEN exam
yesterday. It came home to me how poor I am at listening to,
and writing, English and determined to work harder on it.
But thanks at least partly to "media discussion", I am around
70% satisfied with how I did on vocabulary & reading sections
in the exam.

ONEPIECE
I get absorbed in reading comics now. The name of the comics is ONEPICE. A chief character is a pirate named RUFY, and these comics tell their great adventure. It is very interesting. Read by all means.
yesterday
I worked at the movie theater from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. My movie theater wasn't so crowded except ROOKIES and Terminator 4. I want to watch them. However, I wonder this movie theater will be closed someday. After that, I went to Big Boy, restaurant of hamburger steak, with my family because my birthday will come soon. I ate a lot of food. It was very delicious and I felt happy.
Yesterday:)
I and my friends of my basketball circle joined the basketball tournament in Aoyama Gakuin University on Sunday, 14th June.
We had a game at 11:45, but our seniors' team had at 11:25. One of the member overslept, and I joined the seniors' team and I played basketball with seniors since last December. I was very glad. In addition, we won the game:)
But, next my team had a game. And the competitor was strong X( We lost the game;
I was so regrettable!!
After our game, we watched the game of our juniors of boys in our circle. The last 10 seconds, they were tie with the competitor. But at last 1 second, the competitor goaled!! So they lost the game. We are shocked though it was not my team.
I could enjoy the tournament:)

Saturday night
I went bowling with my part-time job members on Saturday night. I got a call from my manager and was asked to hang out with him and other members. This was my first time to hang out with them, so I was so excited to go. The manager picked me up at my house by his car and went Spoccha. We divided into four groups and competed with each other. I was satisfied about my scores because I could scored nearly 100. However, the guys include the manager were really good at bowling. They scored nearly 200 every time. I could really enjoy the time and hope I will be good at it like them.
