75％ say parents' wealth affects kids' education

It's very difficult to have a child in this country.
All you need is money.

If you have enough money, you can have two or more children.
It's almost an impossible dream.

The government should spend more money on this problem.
But aging society is the more urgent issue.

the earthquake in Java

More than 5,000 people died in the earthquake in java.
Indonesia had a great tsunami two years ago and another disaster came suddenly.
I'm so sorry for that.

We still can't predict a natural disaster.
We always have to prepare for it.

Before Hanshin Awaji great earthquake occurred, they said the probability of the occurrence of an earthquake was less than 8%.
But now they say the probability of the occurrence of an M7 class earthquake in a metropolitan area within 30 years is 70%.

One day it will come.

Love is trouble.

I have to be independent.
When I die, I have to go alone.

Sometimes I get weak and restless.

It's sarcastic, isn't it?

"Misson Impossible 3 " is coming this summer.
Another mission starts.

You still are my Spanish teacher.
And I hope your Japanese will get better.

it's only a paperwork

It was so complicated to register our marriage six years ago, because you were an illegal alien at that time.

Now it's so easy to get divorced.
Only a piece of paper is necessary.
You are going to file for a divorce tomorrow.
It's so easy.

Laugh, and the world laughs with you ; Weep, and you weep alone

according to Murphy ( not Joseph)

It's better to have a horrible ending than to have horrors without end.

You said you have something to talk about.
Reading between the lines, I think you might be hiding some problems.

It might be financing, divorce, HIV positive, another child or something like that?
It's so insane to synthesize another pain.

Hard times, come again no more.
There's no wild boar bigger than a mountain.

'Da Vinci Code' opened in theaters

It must be entertaining but it's controversy.
Christ had a child?

It may be a little bit difficult to understand the movie if you don't have some knowledge of Christianity.

I think I still have a chance.

A seven-year-old elementary school child is diagnosed as GID and going to school as a girl.

The society is changing.
They should be accepted more.

Today, Apple announced the release of new MacBook.
It has Intel inside.
You can install Windows in it.

Because I need to use Windows sometimes.

I can't decide whether I should buy new MacBook or DELL notebook.

Alzheimer's disease

There's no treatment for the disease.
The only medicine used for it is Aricept.

How fearful it is to lose your memory, especially when you are still young?
It must be tough for the family to see the serious change of the patient.

She and I worked together for about ten years.
Today was her last day at this pharmacy.

She is a good pharmacist.
I wish her good luck in her new location.

My heart will stop someday.
It is unescapable.
Until the day I will live my life.

What will become of our pharmacy?
It's sad for me to lose a long-term co-worker.
I hope I can do fine without her.

friends

It's hard to find a true friend.
Someone says most people can't find a true friend all their lives.

Why do you need friends?
Because you want someone to depend on when you need help?
Because you need someone when they are lonely?

You should not depend on your friends too much.
You should keep a good distance.
Distant intimacy is best.

I like to watch TV programs about travel and also like to read books or magazines on travel.

Think of what you can do now.
