New My Hobby I have not written notebook for two years, but I want to start studying English again. Yesterday, I rode bicycle for the first time in five years because I hesitated to get on train due to coronavirus. I noticed that I felt very fresh when I was getting on bicycle. There were new discoveries that I could not notice when using trains. So, getting on bicycle became my new hobby.

Relaxed time for me Yesterday, I went to a spa which had a lot of bathes and saunas with my friends. I can took various bathes and saunas to sweat a lot. I felt relaxed with closing my eyes and forgetting daily hard work. Besides, my skin could get smooth. A lot of people came to the spa. Japanses people like taking bathes long time ago. At the present day, I thought everyone was tired from everyday work and they needed healings. So, they come to spa to spend the relaxed time. There are a lot of stresses in daily life, but I am pleased that there is a culture of taking bath in Japan.

My wish In Japanese company, there are a lot of procedures to get approval for everything. In my case, I have to take 5 bosses' approvals to submit a quotation to customer, though depending on the price. Everyday I work overtime until 9 o'clock in the evening ,but I think spending time on profitable work is very short. There are tendencies that risk should be shared by all partied concerned in the matter in Japan. We have to spend a lot of times on inefficient tasks. I wish procedures will be simplified and efficient times will increase. In my conclusion, I wish to go home earlier.

Things that I'm into these days I have been into to watching DVD of "Sex and the City" for the first time in in a while. In the TV drama, there are four main women whose age is around 30 years. And they talk everything very close to indecency to each other openly. I started to watch the DVD to study English.Now It becomes the best pleasure for me. When I was a university student, I loved it.But there were a lot of things I couldn't understand. I have become the same age as main characters, and I can sympathize with them.Around 30 years women have a lot of problems about her career, boyfriend, home ,future and so on. But I envy them because they have the best friends they can talk everything to each other. I stay in Tokyo away from my friends in hometown. Next time I meet my friends, I want to talk a lot.

My regret Recently, I was busy with my work in this three days . I did not have time to see my face with mirror. This morning, I saw my face closely, then I found a big pimple on a under jaw. I touched , then It had hurt. I wanted to squeeze that, then I could restrain my impulse. When I went home and saw the mirror again, I noticed the hateful pimple has become bigger! Finally, I have squeezed.....now, I worry about acne scar. I should not have done....I regretted, but that ship has sailed.

Disasters in Japan I live in Yokohama city near Tokyo which is east area of Japan. But, now I am in Toyama prefecture which is one of middle area of Japan. Today ,typhoon is crossing Japan. Around noon, typhoon was in west and moving up to east. Many transportation will be predicted to stop tomorrow in eastern Japan. But I will have an appointment in Toyama city tomorrow, so I came here before transportation will stop. This year , there are a lot of disasters in Japan, for example, big earthquakes in Osaka and in Hokkaido, and a lot of typhoons. Both earthquake and typhoon deprive us of many things. In case of earthquake, we cannot forecast when it will happen. So we usually have to prepare for that. And if it happens, we need to help each other. I am thinking what I can do for suffers......I want to help something but it is not just looking.

Yesterday 's sad accidents Yesterday, I went home at 11 o'clock in the evening. I had two unexpected jobs. First, suddenly, I was requested to submit some document from my client. It often happens, so it was not special for me. Second, it was troublesome. I had got to install a new software which was necessary to transaction with some client to my laptop. But, it did not work well. So, I called my client who retested to install , but he was not in the office. So I asked call back when we went back to his office. But he did not call back. So I tried to do many times. However I could not installed. The software is developed to make deal easy between client and vendor. But, it is no meaning that install is hard and take a lot of times. I was very tired yesterday. I will have to try to install again next week. I hope this weekend will continue forever....

Starting autumn season in Japan Last midnight I waked up at 3 o'clock because It was too cold for me. So I took thick bedding from closet quickly. I was wearing T-shirt and short pants. Until quite recently, it was very hot, its temperature was around 30 degrees. But I have not realized that autumn season had already arrived. In autumn in Japan, it is really comfortable season. Mountains are covered with red leaves. That views give us a lot of pleasures. Besides, autumn is known as the harvest seasons. For example, you can find a lot of delicious foods, for example, sweet potatoes, persimmon, matsutake mashroom, autumn salmon and so on. Especially, my favorite is a steamed rice with chestnuts. It taste very sweet and makes us feel happy. In conclusion, I want foreigners to experience autumn Japan!

My lover pets I love animals from childfood.When I was young, I had a dog, a rabbit, a turtle, a hamsuter, budgerigers,guinea pigs,chicks and so on. They were so cute and my playmates.Especially, as for dog, she was so faithful to me. When we went for a walk together, I often run into my friends and talk for a long time. But, she waited sitting stilll for hours by me.Now if I think about her, I wanted to apologize to her.She was my best frieand and my old sister who understood me very much. I am grateful to her deeply. Now I have a cat. She is really capricious and selfish. If I try to hold her in my arms, she trys to run away quickly and scratches me. She comes near me only at breakfast, snack time and dinner. Only that time, she snuggles up to me. But, even such a selfish action makes my love to her more deep. As a result, dogs and cats, they have opposite charactaristics, however, I love both.
