What can I do from now?

After seeing and experincing a lot of thing, though it is still not enough, what I want do in the future is becoming gradually clear.
Although there are numerous number of problems in the world that should be solved, not so many people are working on it, and I think even trying to know it. I myself started to think about my current interest, ethnic conflict, or refugees, etc. by trigger from outside sorces, such as books, photos, movies. If there weren't such signal from outside, I would not realized current problem in all over the world. So, I myself want to be a trigger for others.
But the way I conduct my purpose is still unclear, so I have clarify my own way to convey messages.

I wish our merry Christmas!

Christmas season is coming just around the corner!
Even Shiki station is beutifully illuminated with lots of lights and bells.
In Japan, many people regard Christmas as time to spend with their girlfried or boyfriend, which is slightly different to the western style in my image. By the way, I'm planning to spend Christmas Eve with my old friends watching drama, which I hope will be fun!
How will you spend one of the most happiest time in a year?

Great friends in Intensive

Well...I may not a most outgoing man. But still, there are already great fellow around me.
Yesterday, I went to Ikebukuro to cheer my friends, who is friend in my English intensive class.
Since I was little timid, I decided not to participate in speech contest. Although there is no doubt to be in such an atmosphere is great experience, I don't regret what I did as a supporter.
Looking back, I have not played such a role, supporting others from behind , for a long time.I did what it pays to me, instead of others. But I did what I could do as a same member in intensive for him this time, instead of myself.
After all I learned so many thing through last few weeks in intesive class.

Lastly, Concratuation! Moemi!

Lots of X'day is coming

From end of this month to middle of December, so many events I involved are coming.
I can't manage to do such so many things in one time. But I will do my best

Long time no see

The blog has rearranged!
I will write as much as possible. Any short messages encourage me a lot, so please leave a message.

How blessed I am

Since I am sensitive to every kind of impact from outside, I realized how blessed I am recently.
Yesterday, I watched the movie" Little birds" filemed by Watai Takeharu, who is a free-lance journalist　working mainly around East Asia.
The movie was made to demonstrate the cruelty of war from the view point of Iraq.
Seeing those people in Irag, I can't stop appreciating my blessed situation today, and confirm ed my determination to make full use of my opportunity.



I can't stop looking forward to living myself♪

Living Alone

I'm going to live by myself in Shiki, which is very close to my college next month.
Since this April, I colud bearly keep up with my daily commute, which takes 4 hours in a day.
Ofcourse, not everything will turn out to be good by my decision. However, I'm sure that I can rest a bit.
I found out that a person need 4hours sleep in a day.

The Shift

I just want to play without thinking all the chore and requirment.
Well, I'm not complaining any of my homework or other thing, since that's the university!
But the problem is I'm not tough enough to keep both studying and playing. So if I tried to work hard on my study, I can't play!
I need to be more and more tough, not only physically, but also mentary.

Second semester

Finally, the second semsester has begun, after two month of summer vatcation.
As I expected, I have been keeping four hours sleeping life since second semester has began.
Two days ago, I ate dinner with one of my close friend and talked about living alone. There comes up the idea that "room share" Althought it is just a futur plan yet, it sounds great and I really love to think about that.
I feel fatigued all the better because the life which takes four hours to commut has began.

Yes, but I should realize how blessed I am

Family affair

Since this April my life has been generaly good, with the exeption of a matter of family.

Looking around, I know that I am so blessed position, so that some people might say it's too much to complain about other thing.
But for some reason, which I can't find what it is so far, I can't bring my fulfilled life into my house. I know that current situation should be changed immediately, I don't know how....

May be I take advantage of them, but I don't know....I 'll figure out

End of the summer

Well, just a week is left before the best of summer in my life over.

I developed myself in many sense in the past two months.

Unfortunately, my last challenge in this summer resulted in not a great outcome. But it is OK for me, since I think I should go through certain hiccup.

Now, seconed semester is just around the corner! I hope my effort so far will blossom into a wonderful Autumn.

Melancholy

Although about a week has past since great LF forum over, I'm still struggling to get back to my daily life. Before I entered university, I was more used to lead a lonely life.But now, I feel more vulnerable to alone...

To solve the problem, I started to working at a spaghetti restaurant as a part-time job. True, I mainly focus on study as a student, but I think working at such a place which makes my back upright gonna be one of good experience for me, rather than get a small amount of money.

Looking back the LF 2007

One of the biggest event in this summer, Leadership Forum2007 has over.
I am still not sure whether I was appropriate to the chosen members of the Rikkyo, since I found out afterward that other applicants of the forum were so great.
However, I believe that I enjoyed and cultivated myself best of all the participants of the forum.
Through this forum, I learned so many thing that I can not state all the thing I acquired.
Although I have studied English for this moment, I have no words to thanks to you all.

One thing I can say is THANK YOU

Forum,Forum, FORUM!

Finally, the day has come. Well, in the forum, my personal object is to learn as many thing as possible from great people concerned in this forum. I am still not sure what I can do for sustainable development of North East Asia. But I am sure that such big and abstract thing is impossible to accomplish without improving myself.

I always want to put myself where I must overstep the margin of my ability. I believe that is the royal road to improve myself, though which is not easiest way.

Do you love others?

Once I am attracted by others. I can not think about other things. This is my bad habit. Yes, love is important, but not everything.

Topic is changed, though one of my friends behavior in last camp might not great in every way, I want to say thank him again sincerly for all of his effrot through the camp.
You main spending in a hard time, but I hope and believe that you can take back your best smile.
Cheer up!

Coming back to the hot and humid Japan

After staying in the dry and chilly camp, I feel this hot and hot summuer in Japan. Beacause of jet lag, I woke up at 4:00am, in the still dark morning. I thought about a wonderful stay in camp in a dim consciousness. I have to adjust myself as soon as possible because my biggest event in this summer, forum with students from China and Korea is coming just around the corner.

Changing the theme of the blog

After the great camp in Dry Gulch, I will change the theme of this blog into my picture blog.
First, I want to say thank you to all the members participated in and support the 2007 camp. I will do my best to develop myself by making use of this precious experience.
I"ll upload my pictures in the camp as soon as possible.

PC obsession

Although I don't like to spend many time in front of PC. Under current circumstace, however, I can't do without the icon of IT age. For example, when it comes to collecting information, I would prefer reading books to surf on the Internet. Still, efficiency of PC is clear and I don't say anything about that. How do you like PC?

Test

I have some important tests coming week. I spent very relaxing time this past one week, so I bolstered my motive to go to school, thouth my momentum was little bit reduced.

Well,Topic is changed, have you ever experienced what it is like to be discriminated? I have NOT. After seeing the movie "crash" I have thought what it is like to be dicriminated by one's race or personal identity. Of course, I do not want to be discriminated, but I think it is imortant to know what the "racial discrimination" is.
So far, only way to learn about it is through media like DVD or Internet , but someday, I will learn what it is like directly.

This is my hottest hobby, toy camera. Although it looks like hevy and complicated, the inside of the camera is almost notihng but film. It stands to reason that so many people can buy it easily.

Because the camera is made in very unique style, you can take so many easygoing picures, though there are so many blunders. I went to the neighbor beach with this camera, book, and tea to take a break after the so quick first semester in Rikkyo. Gained energy from today's reflesh, I will spear for the final test!

Minoriy

I have two main theme to wright about from the lecture I took in university.
First, I heard a story of one innocent man who arrested by Japanese police and had a very difficult time in prison, though he had nothing to do with crime.
I am afraid that I can's explan the whole situation in my English. But what made me thinkg was that social pregudice toward people from foreign countrys in Japan. Yes, it is difficult to get over stereotype, but we all know we can do something. Now I got interested in the topic like"Minority" . It is difficult for me to find what I should or can do.

Hearing the guest lecture

In yesterday's class, we had a special guest from Sri Lanka. He taught us about basic information about Sri Lanka and growing ethnic conflict in the country, which seemed to me related to the Hotel Rwanda. We don't need to pay too much attention about ethnic identity here in Japan, though we hace a history of oppression to the"Ainu" . So seeing or hearing those ethnic conflict, it is very hard for me to imagine what people in such situation feel. Getting into such commuinty may be the best way to know about both sides point of view.

I wish I had more time to question.

Blog and Mixi

I do not know much about difference between Blog and Mixi, but seeing my friends using both community well, it may be good for me to make use of both Blog and Mixi. Since it is easier for everybody to see Blog, it may be better to write in English on my Blog in order to show my Blog to many people including people from foreign country. So I begin Mixi in Japanese, and I'm planning to write what I thought in my daily life from the Engligh point of view in this Blog.

Movie

Though I love to see drama, I have rarely seen moovies past one or two years or so. However, I slowly started to watch moovie recently. Among moovies I saw lately, "Hotel Rwanda" was one of the most impressive moovies that I have long time no see. The moovie is about the domestic conflict in Rwanda. Seeing this moovie, many thing ran around in my head. First, how lucky I am to receive high education and live in warm house everyday. It is too small problem for me to complain about three hours sleep, compared to those who live in such internsity.
Second, I felt so powerless that my effort in my daily life might be meanigless to resque those have-nots in other side of my country.
I just want to save those people from current tragedy.

Dream

One of my teacher in cramschool told me that the most important goal in a university is to find something that one can devote a whole life. I didn't pay much attention to what he said at that time, but now I slowly understanding what he was trying to say. I assume that many people find job before they graduate, but I think get a job is one thing, and find something that you really wish to commit is another. I'm on my way of long and winding load to dig out what I truly want to do in my future.

New camera!

I bought a new camera, which was I think impulsive. Since I have spent a lazy afternoon, I suddenly itched for something new. Buying a new camera by my own has long been my small dream. The camera is not like modern digital camera, but something like Polaroid. So it may take certain time to make full use of the camera, but I hope I will take lots of great picture by the camera someday in near future.

SD

Fortunately, I passed the interview and allowed to participate in the seminar which will be take place in Niiza campus in late Summer. The main purpose of the seminar is to establish the idea of Sustainable Development. Within eight participants from Rikkyo university, I am the only person who join in this seminar as a freshman. It is no doubt that this seminar will be a huge opportunity for me to experience proffesional air among chosen students who come from Korea, China, Keio , and Rikkyo. I have to do certain amount of preparation for this seminar. I think what I need to do first is to find out what sustainable development is.

Disney land

I have wondered why the disney-land or disney-sea is said to be one of the biggest attractive theme park in Japan. But visiting there last Wednesday, I experienced bit about it's attraction. First, disney-land is consists of lots of fancy buildings, which attract not only female, but also person like me. Second, staff in the disney-land were well educated that we can enjoy feeling like prince or princess easily.
I never thought such a thing when I was in there, but looking back, I found that there are so many things to learn from disney-land, not only enjoy in the moment.

Experience as an actor

Can you guess what those are? Those are the mask I used in the drama, which I acted as a last event of my Kawaijuku Cosmo. I juggled both study and drama in those days in Cosmo.

What like about acting is that I can make myself completly different from my daily life. I often told that I looked calm and steady than I am. However, once I started acting, I would be a completely opposite person, which is my favorite.

If you feel tired in your daily life, why don't you close the door, listening to your favorite music, and act like other person?

What I can do so far?

Although it is still May, we can enjoy the climate just as like early Summer. Icecream is tasty, easier for us to wake up, so what's the problem?
Most of problems we would face in the future are already happening other side of earth.
It is so difficult for me to explain those things in Engligh that I will write about it on my Japanese blog sometime. But I believe that I have to expand my knowledge do every tiny thing.

p.s I took a good photo for the first time in 1 month...

Kenya

I attended the seminar about kenya's education system. I learned a lot from presentation decorated with power point.What remains in my mind is a story about a kenyan 12 yers old child, who did not have any oppotunity to take education because of his family's economic problem. One day he went to the police and complain about his situation by himself. After while, he succeeded to go to school and studying hard at school...
Linsteng to this story, I looked bach to myself. I sometimes feel tired with my study at university. Compared to this young kenyan boy, however, how stupid my small concern is!
I think I have to study hard not only for myself, but also contribute to those kind of kids, who has fewer chaces to receive proper education.

Not a kid anymore

As an university student, I think I have to be a "MAN" both mentaly and phisically.To keep a young mind is important in a sense, but once we became a certain age, I believe one has to behave as an adult depending on their situation. I have seen a lot of respectable grown-ups during my life, what they did in common was to draw the line between public and private affairs.

I'm trying to do like that, but the way to a MAN is tough!

See you

One of my best friend will leave for Canada tomorrow. When I first met him last summer, he was a goood guy but looked he hadn't find his own way . I don't know whether he found his way now, but I think he started something that will guide him to his goal.

I envy him because I haven't find what my real way is yet. All I can do so far is to look after his back and say "GOOD BYE"

Old fellow

I wathched 「Spiderman 3」 with my fried yesterday. I saw a movie at a movie theater for the first time in about a year! Although it takes some cost, one good thing about watching something on the theater is that we can feel the unusual feeling. When all the lights off, I feel realy excited without reason, when the movie starts,I feel I'm in the other world.
I suggest you to go to a theater and feel different world if you feel bored or tired with daily life.

To be a host

Today, two Korean men visited our house. One of them was a student of Kokusai Budo University and the other was his friend. They speak Japanese so fluently that we had no trouble communicating with each other,and they were such a nice guys! Some people say that we can communicate with others from foreign country without language, but I think language is one of the most important factor of all. Talking with them, my motivation of studying foreign language became red hot!

GW

In japan, there is an annual week consists of lots of holidays, which is called Golden Week.
This year we have three holidays in a week, that means we have 5 Sundays! Some people go to short vacation and others work hard on part-time job. Well... but I have nothing special plan during the week. In fact, I'm happy enough to go to cafe and just relax.

Spring has come

It's becoming warmer and warmer these days. Although I have lots of concerns, the Spring sunshine get rid of my small worries. This morning ,I went to a park with tea and bread to be healed by the power of sunshine. I suggest you to try this and feel the breath of coming Spring!

Nice to meet you

Nice to meet all of you.
This is my first time to keep blog. I have my own mixi in Japanese, however, I'm going to make this blog in a different way from my mixi.
I think my first job is to just keep this blog, and I will make my best to keep this blog new as long as possible.
