If I start enjoying ICQ, the access counter on my web site count up very much... ha ha ha
Because I ask them to see my web site^^;
Today is the paid holiday. I went to doctor to have a checkup.
Take a sample and blood, X-ray examination, blood pressure, measure my height, eyesight test... and...hearing test. I have that once a year.
When I looked up a Japanese-English dictionary, it was "Health examination". Is that correct?
Well...according to the weather information, it will be rainy on Sunday in Tokyo...I am very disappointed.
But, I hear there will be a lot of people. Because of the last Sunday for Halloween event.
Tomorrow will be fine weather, but I cannot enter there because of full...
However, I am planning to go there in the evening.

I was so tired yesterday. When I woke up this morning, it was 8:45...! even though I had to leave home at 9 o'clock... Oh my GOD!!!
When I opened the door at the entrance, I noticed it was rainy...
I don't like rain.... do you?
Because of rain, the train schedule was disrupted.
I usually have to transfer trains twice to go to the company. When I arrived at the station from my house, it was 9:07.
Usually a rapid train is passing away at that time, but a local train was stopped. In fact, the train had to arrive there at 9:01.
Unfortunately, I couldn't catch the train because a crossing gate was closed. Yeah, I had to across that to get a train....oh... no...
When I arrived at the the station to the first transfer, the train was 4 minutes late.
Then I hurried up to transfer the next train, but it was late, too. So they changed the train schedule in a hurry because the next train couldn't appear for a while at the track No.11. Instead of the train, they switched the train that was stopped at the track No.12.
However, I was on time to the company(^^)
...I hope this weekend will be fine.

I have successfully promoted to the higher level at my English conversation school.
After just two week since I start going there.
But... I cannot feel happy. Do you know why?
Because I have been trying hard for a lot of things since the middle of July.
I used to work very hard in those days. Sometimes I had to work until 11:00pm.
However, the previous temporary contract was finished at that time.
...I was thinking about my skills. Even now, I have never got the job that I want to.
My dream is to be a computer instructor, but I don't have a confidence to teach them. Because I don't have enough experience of using "Access" so much... And also, I don't have any certificates of my skills.... So I was trying hard to get one.
After I took the examination for Japanese Word processing with Word 97, I decided to start learning English conversation again...it was on October 1st.
That's why there is no period, no break time... do you know what I mean?
I think I have been trying to improve myself too tight...without relaxation. I was always thinking about something.
So I need the vacation for my brain.... ha ha ha

It is going to be cold.... Many people get colds... but I don't want to get sick. My boyfriend gets colds,
You know, I am looking forward to going to Disneyland, right? I am going there next weekend!
In Japan, the Ministry of Education's idea is to change the order of people's names.
If we say our own names in Japanese, we say the family name first and the first name second.
But, in Korea or China, if they say their names in English, they aren't changing to the western style. I mean changing to the first name first, and the family name second.
However, we are changing to the western style.
So, they change the style... but I think if it changes, many people will be confused....like "Which one is the first name???"... What do you think?

I am going to Tokyo Disneyland on October 28th.
It is the first time I am going... even though Walt Disney's birthday is the same as mine, you know? ....ha ha ha
I am going to bring a digital camera and take a lot of pictures there to show you on my web site.
...I am going to take my portable computer to my English conversation school to use it to update my web site.
I don't have time because I want to do a whole lot of things, I don't have time to do all of them. I have to use my time to the best advantage.

Today is NOT a day off...I had to work ...to make up for the national holiday??? huh?
I was updating my section's web site^^;
Then... I went to a party at my new English conversation school. I took a lot of pictures.
I go to the English conversation school almost every day... to tell the truth, I didn't want to go to the party because I was very tired, but my agent told me to go^_^;
I need time for myself.
Monday, October 9
Today is a holiday. Until last year, one of the national holiday, the name of "Sports Day" is used to be October 10th, but for this year, it is not the holiday on that day.
Instead of that, Sports day is changed to the second Monday. Yes! "Sports Day" is today for this year.
Anyway...I was reading my old diary... five years ago.
Yeah... I used to work at a life insurance company... It was a hard time for me.
Looking back upon my past days... now I recognized I improved myself a lot than before.
I have been changing jobs a lot... many people say that it is not so good. Do you know why?
I must be not a good person... maybe worthless... Even though I tried hard... I made many mistakes... I don't know why but... if I entered the company, I cannot do anything.
However, my ambitious is the only good point. I like to learn anything I can.
...it is very hard for me to be asked about my carrier or work experience...
But, when I am depressed, I try to tell myself, "Don't give up, keep improving myself".

I am updating Japanese Home. Because many people are waiting for that...ha ha ha
I think WS_FTP is inconvenience. Because I use FrontPage 2000for the homepage editor.
It is very nice for the web management. But, If you start to use it, "_vti_cnf" or "_vti_pvt" or something mysterious(?) folders are automatically created in each folder. I think they are used for the software, maintenance for the web folder. It is unnecessary to transfer them to the remote homepage server.
So, I uninstalled WS_FTP. Instead of it, I use Japanese FTP free software, "FFFTP".
I can setup to be invisible them and not to transfer them, too.
... oh, I have to edit "Profile"... ^^;

I went to the new English conversation school today. It was the first time to take a lesson.
But... I think the class is easy for me.... My English level is high level of the class, so soon I can go up to the higher level.
Because I have never spoken English for about one year, sometimes I cannot remember just a easy word.
The agent was very surprised at my English. According to her, I am the first person who speaks English so well. In fact, almost of the student are beginners.... and also.... I have already paid all of the school expenses in one lot by myself....ha ha ha
Sunday, October 1
I took the examination.... for Word processor, the 2nd grade by Word 97 in Japan.
I was so tired... Do I have a confidence to pass??... the answer is NO!
After that, the agent of the English conversation school asked me to visit there.
Well... when I was going home, she asked me the questionnaire about English. there was very close to my personal computer school, in front of the movie theater. there were some questions... the last one is..."If you can speak English, what do you wanna do?".... oh well... I do!
.. so it was not able to the question... ha ha ha
I wanna use English for job... but I never do that... besides I used to work for a part time at McDonald's(^^;
Do you know my dream is to be a computer instructor? Yes, it is not changed yet.
I can use computer, I speak English... BUT... their level are not sure for using at work.
... after all, I started to go to the English conversation school again... for two years.
