Iritis

2006-06-25T17:42:00.000+09:00

I'm suffering from iritis. ;-(

I was bloodshot suddenly on Tuesday, then my view gradually became cloudy.

Now I apply eyewash every 3 hours.

A doctor says that 70% of the cause of iritis is not clear.
In my case, it is probably tiredness.

I have to take a break regularly during working.

Rainy season

2006-06-18T21:25:00.000+09:00

In Japan, the rainy season has set in last week.
I feel blue on a rainy day, so the days I get depressed last for a while.
Moreover, it is a little hard to go to work in the rain!

But I have to work on weekdays, so I think about the way to make my feeling lighter.

1. Listen to favorite music on the way to work
Recently "Jimmy Eat World" and "Nightwish" are my favorite musicians, so I listen to their songs over and over. Especially I like the songs such as "The Middle", "Bleed American", "crownless" and "She is My Sin"

2. Put up my favorite umbrella
Until quite recently, I put up an umbrella which I bought at convenience store. It's made of vinyl and the hundle of it is a little small because it is used for emergency. It is hard to hundle for me, so I bought a new umbrella.
A pattern of this umbrella is very, very cute and size of its hundle is fit my hand! I love this umbrella. :-)

Do you have any more ways to refresh your feeling on a rainy day?
If you have them, please comment me.

I'm very tired

2006-05-30T21:31:00.000+09:00

Oh, I haven't written this dairy for a long time!

This spring, I entered a company that I had been informally notified of my employment.
The lapse of 2 months, I gradually become accustomed to my new environment. But everyday is fulled with new findings. I try to keep my mind as open as when I began.

On the other hand, I decided that I contine to study at university.
Of course, it'll be a hard task to be engaged in two trades at the same time. But I want to try it.

Oops! I'll write this dairy regularly! :(

Moving

2006-02-19T02:43:00.000+09:00

I cleaned up my room today, because I'm moving out of an apartment into another one by the end of this month.
I've lived in current apartment for nearly 4 years, so I found a large quantity of trash... :-(
Today, I classified about two hundreds of books by its value. It's so hard!!

At the next apartment, I'll not store too much things. :-P

I did it!

2006-01-11T11:04:00.000+09:00

I was able to submit my thesis yesterday!! :-)

But I can't feel relaxed fully because I have to take a viva voce about my thesis the month after next...

Generally, one of interviewers at the oral examination is a supervisor. In my case, my supervisor can't attend the exam for certain reason, and what is worse, all interviewers' course are different from my major... ;-(

I feel SO miserable.

Happy New Year!!

2006-01-01T11:21:00.000+09:00

I wish you a happy new year !! :-)

That's a tough one

2005-12-21T05:56:00.000+09:00

I resigned from "english2diary" by accident.... ;-(
(Of course, I rejoined the ring.)

Recently, my main ID is not CaramelSuger but MilkCocoa when I use Hatena.
So I take advantage of this opportunity and decide to change my HN.

Please take care of my new HN and "MilkCocoa's Monologue" continuously!! :-)

A Slump

2005-12-11T00:33:00.000+09:00

I have to write a paper until in the course of this month.
But I'm not in the mood for doing it lately... :-p

When I think about my future, I get depressed.
The future I have an end in view is really what I want to do?
And can I achieve it...?

A Humidifier

2005-12-04T01:22:00.000+09:00

I bought a humidifier at SEIYU.

Althogh the humidifier's price is about 2,000 yen, it humidifies my room sufficiently.
Moreover, its equipment such as a blue LED and the usableness of aromatherapy makes me feel relax...

When I start to work it, I feel my nose which is stuffed up due to a cold gets relief.

I bought it on impluse, though, now I think it was the right choice. :-)

Give-and-Take(a kind of memorandum)

2005-12-03T01:50:00.000+09:00

For consumers, what kind of give-and-take can improve consumers' utility?
In Japanese market, a way of thinking like "Only One" is generally accepted?

Relation between price and effectiveness

2005-11-30T01:52:00.000+09:00

Today, I actually felt the following sentence...

"The higher the price of lotion is, the more effective it is."

But!! I have no money to buy expensive lotion at ease... :'-(
<==　This photo is the lotion I realized the above-mentioned. My senior gave me it as a free sample.

Maybe I'm getting a cold...

2005-11-23T20:52:00.000+09:00

When I met one of my fellows at university, he had a cough and blew his nose frequently.
He seemed to catch a cold.

To my surprise, however, he said, " Probably I'd have a cold a few days ago, so I went to my doctor in this morning. But my doctor told me that I didn't have a cold and he didn't give me any medicine!"
I felt pity for him and I said, "Take care of your health!"

From yesterday evening, I have felt a cold fit and been sniffing too.
Moreover, from this morning, I have a cough...Maybe I cought a cold from him.

I have a plan to be inoculated against a flu virus, but I need to put it off until I'll get better.
(By the way, I got influenza last year in spite of inoculation. This year, there is same possibility that bird flu could become epidemic. I wonder whether traditional inoculation against a flu virus have an effect or not??)

I Joined Hatena Ring.

2005-11-23T00:26:00.000+09:00

I joined Hatena Ring. (The Ring I joined in by the name of "english2diary".)
Hatena Ring is a kind of WebRing which are available if you are a member of Hatena.(This page is written in Japanese.)

Each Hatena Ring has a logo and its member can put it in member's blog using HTML tag.
But some HTML tags are restricted in my blog... BOO! :-(

Social Networking Site

2005-11-23T00:21:00.000+09:00

I have been interested in Social Networking Site(SNS) since I became aware of it existence. Recently I had a chance that I asked an acquaintance to invite me for SNS. Because of his invitation, I was able to get the right to take part in SNS. I was going to participate in SNS immediately, however, I found several reports and blogs which I was worried about. I hesitated to join it.

The reports and blogs I found say that the condition to limit members seems to be practically useless now. Due to the existences who send invitation mail indiscriminately or make systems that let someone join SNS without invitation mail, the condition became a flash in the pan.

SNS in Japan, "mixi" and "GREE" and so on, suggests registration using one's REAL name as well as a nickname, because one's friends easily find out one in network. Under the above circumstance, I think that registration using one's real name in SNS is just like doing it in WWW. I feel insecurity, so much so that I cannot resister my real name!! :-(

Needless to say, we can register ourselves for SNS using our nickname only. But, if so, we cannot be done a favor by SNS such as communication with friends that we have heard nothing from. :-(

I've not been able to decide to participate in SNS yet....

Tokyo Tower

2005-11-18T01:11:00.000+09:00

Today, I went to Tokyo Tower.

There is two observatory in Tokyo Tower; Main Observatory and Special Observatory.
The former is at 150 meters above the ground and the latter is at 250 meters.

To go to the latter, we have to pay additional fee.

We can enjoy a night view such like jewelry scattered on the dark at the former place, and we can feel as if we were on the Galaxy at the latter.

When I was at Special Observatory, I found something fantastic!!
What it was?

That's ANOTHER Tokyo Tower on the ground!! :-)
What do you think about this photo?
Do you see it as another Tokyo Tower like I do?

I LOVE Stationary!!

2005-11-16T03:19:00.000+09:00

I'm fond of collecting stationary. Of cource, I'm also fond of using them. My favorite goods make me happy and cheer up!! :-)

I LOVE stationary, especially made in foreign contries such as U.S., France and Germany.

Totally, my favorite stationary manufacturers are BiC, STABILO and STAEDTLER. On a notebook, MEAD and Herlitz are my favorite manufacturers.

About a pen, I found a ball-point-pen which is easy to use, stylish and low-priced recently!!
The pen is this!↓

The manufacturer is FISHER which is a company in U.S.
I've never heard it's name, so I ran a computer search for getting to know "what is FISHER?" and other products made by FISHER.

I got a result that FISHER is a long-established manufacturer which made high-quality goods. OH!!
But I bought my pen at drugstore and it's not high-priced (it was 210yen).
I want to see whether FISHER makes low-class products on its website, though, I cannot find a URL about FISHER.
If you know its URL, tell me about it, please!!

Rainy night...

2005-11-12T02:26:00.000+09:00

Tonight, It's rain...cold rain.

A night like that, I drink a cup of hot milk tea and eat some pieces of chocolate.
This combination makes me warm.

From a stereo in my room, the juzz music is heard.
From the outside, the sound of rain is heard.
This combination makes me feel sentimental.

It was cloudy from morning till to night, and it started to rain in the middle of the night.
Tomorrow is another day.
I wish tomorrow would be fine! :-)

What changed a type of dry battery?

2005-11-09T08:06:00.000+09:00

Recently I use AAA-size batteries at frequent intervals. But I used to use AA-size batteries. I recall the scene that I often asked my mother "Where is a AA-size battery?".

What changed a type of dry batteries?

When I look around my personal belonging, I notice that almost all electrical appliances become smaller, thinner and lighter than former ones. I suppose that the miniaturization of electrical appliances results in the change of battery's size.

Someday the button cells may be used generally, and then the dry batteries may dissapper...?

Can you forgive your sweetheart?

2005-11-09T02:27:00.000+09:00

Today, I talked with my friends about "Driving with his or her sweetheart".

In my country, most boys say, "I cannot forgive my girl's nap when I drive a car!!"

But one of my friends said, "I want my sweetheart to sleep on the way to our destination." I was so surprised that I asked him why? He told me three reasons.

First, he wants to enjoy activities at their destination. So if his sweetheart is tired, he rather want her to sleep in a car and become cheerful than talk by force.
Second, he doesn't want her to be bored or irritated when they meet a traffic jam.
Finally, he said with a smile, "When I'm driving a car, I cannot grasp a my girl's hand if she stay up!"

Whenever I ride a car, I fall into a doze... So, I'm envious of his sweetheart.
Can you forgive your sweetness's nap on a drive?

Hi,I'm CaramelSuger!

2005-11-09T02:13:00.000+09:00

I'm CaramelSuger.
My mother tongue is not English, so I'm not skillful at writing in English.
BUT! I want to conquer my week point. :-(
By way of the first step to overcome it, I decide to write my blog in English!!
