英語で診断、やってみて♪

Try this for fun!

here → http://www.oprah.com/spirit/Who-Am-I-Meant-to-Be

This is a test from the website of Oprah Winfrey's magazine.  I tried this during a break at work today.
Very simple and easy.  Just read the statements and choose your own answer, then the result will tell you what kind of person you are and what jobs are suitable for you.
I guess this kind of test is very common, even in Japanese.  But it was kinda fun to try and to see the result in English♪ 
Actually, it was a very good English practice for me.  Because I did this during a break I tried to read and answer quickly.  There were some new words so I also checked the meanings carefully... in a hurry, so I can reach the correct result. :-)
What it told me was...
I am striving to be in control---You approach everything as though you were born to be in charge.
...lol   maybe.  I'm like that sometimes! lol
 It also says.. in work, I'm suited for leadership positions.
Well,,, I do hope so too! lol  Because I've been struggling with the leadership issue recently!  lol
It told me what I should watch out for, too.  They say I am prone to becoming a workaholic, slaving away toward success while neglecting personal life...  ahhhh, could be right.  haha!
The result told me a lot more stuff♪ 
Please try this test if you are interested, and find more about yourself! ;-)

覚醒のトキ

When I was waiting for my bus at the terminal after work, I was feeling tired and bored... watching people in a hurry so they won't miss their rides home.

10 minutes later, my bus came into the track.  I got on the bus, had a seat, turned on my iPod and started reading magazine articles on my kindle.  Usually, 40-minute bus ride takes me home.  This is a good chance for reading,,, as long as I stay up.  lol

Yeah, I fell asleep a few minutes after the bus left the terminal.  I guess I was asleep for 15 minutes or so. 

And suddenly, a sound and a shock woke me up!

...My sleepy swinging head knocked into the window and made a sound "bang!" ...a man next to me was looking at me ...Embarrassing! lol

Well, let me make an excuse, "I was tired today!"

and it happens!  lol

But I know I gotta be careful not to hit the window... and not to surprise the person next seat!  haha!

summer solstice, 夏風景

There's a sunflower field in the neighborhood which is full of cheerful yellow petals all around in the middle of summer every year.  I always pass the field by bicycle in the morning and evening.  Because I'm in a hurry in the morning then it's too dark in night time, I didn't notice some flowers were already coming out.

On the way back home yeasterday, it was still light outside around 6pm, I was riding my bike same as usual and found these pretty flowers among green field.

I left my bike home, grabbed my camera and walked to the field for some pics.

Nice picture isn't it?  I love sunflowers :-)  I love the positive cheerful image of them♪

A volunteer group of my town take care of this sunflower field.  They plant and grow some varieties every year.  The one in my picture is "Gogh".

As you see, the image of the world famous painting by Vincent Van Gogh.

Still in the rainy season, but it's the summer solstice today.  Summer is already here♪

いい眺めだ

We can see beautiful blue sky and enjoy the sun here in Hiroshima today.  I can feel "summer"♪

I'm having a break at a cafe between English classes. 

Well, I gotta go back to class soon.  I wish I could write more... but, maybe some other time :-)

I'm glad I can spend my day for English study today♪

ひざのうえ、ね。

That's why this is called "laptop" :-)

hmm... this is much easier than touching my small cellphone screen♪ 

Because I am planning a trip, I was thinking about bringing my laptop which I always use at home.  But my laptop at home is big... and heavy.  As you know, it's gonna be way too expensive if I access internet though my cellphone abroad.  I was wondering how I should do.

Like I wrote before... I'm not good at IT stuff, lol.  I didn't know about "iPad" "Wifi"

So,,, I went to a store and ask the sales people for a help! ;-)

Then... this is what I chose, a netbook with WiMAX reception in it.  They say I can use this computer during my trip to the states♪  "without any extra charge"

That's good, right?  :-)

and you're my dad, too!

I guess he's enjoying golf today :-)

People say he looks very serious and difficult.  Well, I agree with that. lol  Usually, he is.

But he likes having fun with people and treating people, especially with his dish.  He's a good cook♪

He always enjoy cooking dinner sipping shochu from his favorite glass.

...for me, a glass of wine.  Yes, I learned HOW to cook from my dad! lol

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

日向も木陰も♪

Did you see the beautiful blue sky yesterday?  I had a very good busy but relaxing, fullfilled dayoff yesterday.

Because of the nice weather, I enjoyed walking from Hiroshima station to the center of downtown.

yes,,, I was longing for this sunshine :-)

Though it was already hot and sweaty, I chose to walk in the sun♪  ...and walking through the shade of roadside trees sometimes.  In the shade, I could feel pleasant breeze because it was not as muggy as midsummer yet.

One of the good things about Hiroshima is that the city has many rivers and small parks along them.  Nice places for basking in the sun♪ 

Busy dayoff in the city but I could do what I wanted to do,,, mostly shopping! lol

I bought a gift for my dad too :-)

Because I was walking around with big shopping bags all day, a short break with iced soy latte was... bliss.

I had a good day off prior to weekend and will go back to work now♪  You have a good weekend too!

夏おもう月曜日

Longing for summer time♪
Longing for laying down on a beach in the sunshine... and getting a summer color suntan :-)
When the rainy season is over, summer will come!  yeah~!
Any plans for your summer time or summer vacation?
Ahhh... in my computer, I found this picture I took in Hawaii 2 years ago.  That was a beautiful vacation time♪  Honestly, I was not very interested in going to Hawaii on vacation because my image of Hawaii was "a place with a lot of Japanese people" "good for super brand shopping" "should do marine activities there"... so. lol
But I had a very good relaxing time there from the first time and I like going to Hawaii now... like people say, if you go there you'll like it!
Planning a trip is fun♪  If you have a chance to take a vacation, I hope you'll enjoy your summer time,,, anytine, anywhere! :-)
I'm thinking about going to the states, but not in summer time.  I guess it'll be in September... maybe! :-)  I hope I'll have a chance to see the college places that I'm planning to go to.

Thinking about summer time,,, ♪
Have a good Monday!

一息つかせて

Human resource management is... difficult!
Sometimes I feel "I wish there were people who have same character, same attitude, same feeling as me!"
...I know it's impossible.
...and it's very weird if I imagine a bunch of me! haha!
Various people, various thouhts. We all live together and we gotta get along with it.
I want to know how they do it well... I mean administrators, supervisors and any boss who have their people...
WASABI is struggling! lol I'm not gonna give up yet! ;-)

うちら広島のオンナじゃけぇ～♪

If you are in Hiroshima or from Hiroshima, you might know about this book or might have read this book.
This book was reported in a local TV show in Hiroshima recently and they said the sales was going up.  I guess it's especially in Hiroshima.
Well,,, because I'm a Hiroshima woman :-) I was curious to know how a person outside Hiroshima analyze us and our city (prefecture), the author is from Nagoya, they say.
The book was out of stock at the biggest bookstore in my town a few days ago, so I ordered one.  They let me know the book had arrived yesterday.
I don't know what is written in the book yet because I just bought it. lol  But I'm looking forward to reading it... little by little, I'm a slow reader! lol
Oh, maybe for a change between my English sutudies♪ :-)

Rainy weekend must be a very good chance for reading♪ ...I'm working though. lol
Have a nice weekend!

COOL / UNCOOL!

Stag beetle!     COOL, isn't it?
I met hin (...her? I guess it's him because it has horns) last night :-)
On the way back home, I was thirsty and bought a can of coke(yes, again! lol) from a vending machine near my place.  The machine was on a roadside in our residential area.
I put a 1000yen bill into the machine, pushed a button... then I found something balck at my feet when I tried to take out my coke and change.
I started then because I thought it was a big roach just beside my feet in sandals!
      yaaaaaaaah!
But ti was not a roach... it didn't move fast.  This black thing was still...
I was like... "wow,,, this is a stag beetle.  Where are you from?" lol  and took some pictures of it.  The stag beetle kept still even while I was shooting with my cellphone camera... good model. lol  Only the antennae were moving softly♪
Hey, I was about to step on you.  You gotta be careful, stag beetle :-)
Well, this is funny... both of them are insect.  I get disturbed by a cockroach but I get interested in a stag beetle. haha!

朝だけどbedtime musicのことを…

Hey, I'm blogging 5 in the morning! lol  Good morning :-)
I'm not drunk... lol   Just because I woke up early today.
Today is going to be another 8to9 long day.  I hit my bed early last night.  Actually, I was going to post something from my bed... well, I was just too lazy to sit in front of my computer, haha.  So I took a picture with my cellphone camera and was trying write... then fell asleep soon☆
I was listening to my favorite Dead Can Dance then.  Even a rock chick feels like listening to this kind of soothing stuff sometimes :-)  This album is called "wake" but very relaxing Dead Can Dance sound let me have sweet dreams easily last night♪
I found their music when I first went to the US 14years ago.  When I was walking around in Old Market, the art and shopping district in Omaha, I found an interesting shop.  It was like a gift shop with a variety of stuff, like postcards, candle, decorations for your room...  What attracted me was the psychic,,, spiritual atmosphere...  I don't know how I should describe, but I remember the shop was like that.
Well,,, I can't see any ghost, I enjoy fortune-telling but I don't believe it.  lol   Just the atmosphere, the incense and the music in there was... nice to me :-)
Dead Can Dance has been my favorite ambient music since then.   http://www.deadcandance.com/
Alright, no more relaxing music for now :-) because it makes me go back to sleep again! 
Time to get ready and go!  Have a nice day♪

毎日これだ！

Give me something bubbly!
Champagne, beer,,, not right now during a break at work. I drink Coke very often lately... a can, almost everyday. I'm not picky about coke because I don't drink so much coke basically. But I prefer the regular coke in a red bottle...
I know I'm drinking ZERO in a black bottle... the reason is very simple, I'm worried about getting fat :-) because I drink it often! lol
This is my energy source to work untill the end of a day from now!
I gotta go now♪

アジサイはhydrangeaだって

Hydrangea flowers in my grandfather's garden♪  Pretty,,, :-)  The symbol of "Tsuyu", our Japanese rainy season.
Because I was carrying my camera with me, I took this picture of beautiful purple color flowers♪

Looking at these flowers made me think like... "when is the last time I enjoyed nature?"
...I don't remember.  This is like an excuse, but I say I've been so busy for many days that I didn't pay atention to things around me... That's very selfish, I think.
I like being busy, challenging new stuff.  Everyday is like a battle, especially at work! lol
What do I fight with? ...Myself, lazy me!  :-)  I want to win so I can improve myself, ha!
But I do need time-out sometimes.
I don't need to go out for great nature all the time.  I see a lot of blessings of nature everyday.  The moon in the sky that I can see on the way back home, mountains with fresh green outside my windows, a slight change of wind, even a flower in the vase on a table,,,  They all remind me of taking a breather and let me relax for a while.
Now I feel I was missing a good part of my life lately because I forgot about my time-out for many days!

Thank you grandpa!  Your hydrangea flowers gave me time-out.  And your granddaughter is going back to her battlefield again! :-)

アタシの土曜日朝

Another morning,
Another chance to challenge! :-)

Does anybody go to work today?  I do♪ 
I also have a plan to go to dinner with my friends tonight.  Some of them have studied abroad, so I might be able to get some more information on going to a college in the US. :-)
I'll work hard looking forward to our dinner time♪

I don't think I have a lot of friends, a lot of buddy-buddy.
But all my friends and people I know are very very very supportive.  I often feel I'm very lucky and I appreciate it!
They are independent, they work hard, they have thier own style,,, and most of them love drinking♪  haha! The last one is the most important part! lol
I'm very happy with them!

This is what I'm feeling on Saturday morning♪
If you go to work today, Good Luck! ;-)  If not, have a beautiful Saturday!

Nice weather, windows are open, feeling a breeze... yes, this is the holiday♪ :-)
Many things... problems... are going on at work lately.  Because I'm a manager, a little one :-) , I gotta take care of it.  This is my duty.
I often feel it's very hard to manage to work and prepare for my future plan at the same time.  But this is a good chance to try harder! and improve myself♪  I'll work hard and keep moving on!

Friday♪ but I'm going to keep my geta shoes in my closet and I'll spend the rest of my dayoff on English study.  I got some papers that I haven't tried to read yet :-)
