sleep well and work hard!

I came back from work earlier than usual tonight.

I changed, had dinner and some wine,,,
As soon as I sat and started reading a book, I fell asleep.

I just woke up and thought... "oh, I gotta write something in English..."
Writing something here everyday is what I try to do, even if it's a small stuff.

... Honestly, I don't think of any,,, anything special though...

Well, I'm in here just to update with writing something today.
So I'll go back to sleep soon. I gotta go to work early tomorrow too.

Taking TOEFL

I'm taking TOEFL this month.

Have I been studying hard enough?

... No, not at all...

I know it's just making an excuse but,,,
I've been busy since I registered for the test.

I've taken TOEFL once before,,, when I was a student.
So many things have changed since then.
The test is on the internet through each computers
And it has writing and speaking parts.
My town doesn't hold the test so I need to go to other bigger cities.
And... one test costs $200... very expensive!

But I know I need TOEFL score to study abroad.
So I'm taking once this month to see how much I can do so far and which level I am on.
Then I really need to study after that so I can make a better score next time.

I hope the next time is going to be the last time and I'll be able to get an enough score to go to a college that I want to enter.

Toshi-Koshi Noodles♪

I'm having a very relaxing New Year's Eve at home.

Eating noodles,
Drinking hot shochu,
Watching TV,

Just spending a relaxing time with my family.

So many things have happened to me this year.
Some were very fun,
Some were really tough.

But I always have family and good friends,
I have a job,
I can feed myself,
I'm healthy and happy... I'm living my life.

I appreciate everything!

I don't know what's gonna happen in 2011
but I'm sure it's gonna be another happy year for me

... and for everybody too!

engineer boots

My current favorite engineer boots.

I bought them at a shop called ROSE BUD this year.
They match my style very easily and are so comfy.

But there was one thing I had to do to my boots.

There wooden soles, only the heel side, were not coverd with rubber.
It was nice to look at but not very good for bad weather.

...especially when a floor is wet...

So, I took my boots to a shoe repair during my lunch break and they became a perfect pair,,, finally!

I'm sure I'm gonna wear them more in this winter!

RED ROSES

Roses are always beautiful.

One of our customers at work gave us flowers today.

The customer visited us in the morning so we had to keep these roses for a day at work, until we finish work at 20:30.

When we finished work these roses were almost dead.
I didn't want to put them into gabbage because there were so beautiful and didn't deserve it.

So I filled an empty PET bottle with water as soon as I finished changing,
put roses in it and cought my bus to go home.
I was holding the small bottle very carefully so I don't spill any water and damage my roses on the way home.


Fortunately, roses are alive again!
I'm glad to keep these lovely roses in my room now.
