I guess I'm catching a cold

I have a sore throat.
Maybe I can't sing tomorrow.

living dead

I see many patients with brain disease every Wednesday in a hospital near my pharmacy.
They can't get up, speak or eat...but they are still alive.
There's no chance of recovery but they still have to live.
It's too cruel.

New Mac OS leopard

I wonder if I should install "leopard" to my Mac or not.
Maybe it needs more memories.
I should by a new Mac with leopard.

I want to believe in reincarnation

I went to Miwa Akihiro concert last Sunday.
He is a man but is more beautiful than ordinary women.
And his songs are really moving and bring me tears.

He admires Edith Piaf.
Before he sings "hymne a l'amour" in French, he reads Japanese-translated lyrics.
So we can understand the meanings of the song.
He's a great performer.

And he also is a spiritualist.
At the end of the concert he sang "Hana (flowers)".
He says the song means reincarnation.
We live to reach to a higher place.
Life is tough.
We must overcome the hard times to get a great spirit.

My German is a little bit rusty

I want to sing Beethoven's " Ode to Joy" in German.
So I must practice.

I haven't cooked at all recently

Cooking should be one of my hobbies.
If I take it as a housework, it will be boring.
Reading English books is another thing that I haven't been doing.
How long will it take to read Harry Potter?

pitfall

A pitfall is a hidden or not easily recognized danger or difficulty.
Sometimes I can't find a pitfall.
And then a disaster comes to me.

I'm willing to give it another try

I will never give up.
Singing has become one of my hobbies.

I've been changed

I was very arrogant.
I thought I could do anything when I was young.
Now I know how small I am.
But I don't want to show my weakness.

I'm looking forward to the weekend.

I'm just going to stay home and take it easy.

Let's keep the big picture in perspective.

Don't hide your head in the sand

You're not an ostrich!
You've got to face the fact.

I know you want to keep dreaming.
Dream an impossible dream...

Don't get jealous

People have embraced multitasking as a shortcut that saves time on busy workloads.
I find that unitasking can be more efficient and productive as I tackle one chore at a time.

What happened to my reading ability?

I took an English exam to check my English ability.
Since I don't read English books recently, my reading speed got slow?
And I need more vocabulary.
I had to write an essay on world hunger.
Even in my mother tongue I can't write the essay.
The topic is too big for me.

There's no end of studying foreign languages.

the poem of self-sacrifice

Something least expected happens in life.
On the other hand ordinary days come as usual.

He's very focused.

You can see he means business.

Getting confused

I've got a lot to do.
I don't know where to start.
There's no shortcut.
I just have to do one by one.

A murder in the neighborhood

An elementary school girl was killed just in front of her house.
That's awful.
The murderer must be a psychopath.

I play my part

I can be a breadwinner and you can be a househusband.
That will make us even.

This is the reality

I can't keep dreaming.
I must live in the real world.

Edith Piaf had a hard life.
I saw the movie "La Môme" (la vie en rose)

She was very poor in her childhood.
Singing in the street led her a star.
But her life was not happy at all.

She suffered from drug addiction after the death of her boyfriend.
Her songs are really strong.
The tough life made her song so painful.

100-year-old eye doctor

I read about her in newspaper.
She gave me courage.
I will work until I die.

He's got half of my salary and double of my weight

I found an interesting fact.
Life is tough.
But I'll try to find something funny in it.

I'm just an ordinary woman

I want to have a baby someday.
A 60-year-old woman is going to have a baby.
It's amazing!
But she says she really wanted to have one.
I understand her.
I want to be pregnant before it's too late.

I place a high value on punctuality.

Writing diary is not always fun

Sometimes it's hard to find what to write.
But I'll try to write everyday.

My body temperature is strange

It goes up and down.
The hormone balance is wrong because of too much stress?

I wanna be a celebrity

That means somebody everyone knows.

The congress of pharmacy

I have to go to Kobe to attend the congress.

Warning on Overprescribing Tamiflu

Be careful.
Maybe we should stock Relenza before it gets running short.

Words can't bring me down

No matter what they say, I will go my own way.

Sometimes I overdo..

Being the newest addition to the team makes it easy to overstep bounds.

The season is changing

Summer still remains a little.
But it's getting cooler.
I'm feeling sad.
I need friends.

My heart is drenched in wine

I feel so lonely.
I don't know why I get confused when I talk about myself.
When I was young I was too selfish.
Now I'm so humble.
Is it good or bad?
