MTからWPへ・・・？

2011-06-11T15:34:56Z

そう、それで何でこんなに久しぶりにブログっていうのかというと・・・実は久しぶりにITの血がさわいできてて、ブログをポピュラーなものを使ったブログにしてみようかと思案中なんっす。いまはMovable Typeをつかってこれを作ってるんですが、WordPressに以降しようかと。こういうの結構大変だから、ちょっと躊躇しちゃうんだけど、なんだか4年ぶり？くらいに色々やってみようとすると、もう変化しすぎなITワールドで面白そう！ロリポップでサーバスペースをレンタルしてますが、それも５００M→１３Gとかに激増（値段は同じはず）で、なんだーーーーだし、オンラインショップも簡単に開けたり（←これ近所のおばちゃんがやってみたいっていうときにあってほしかった・笑）とかとか。

JoomlaとWordPressで迷ってたんだけど、クールでプロしてるTさんが押したのでWPです！（笑）後でXOOPSとJoomlaもいぢりたいけど、余裕無いかも。色々したい、したいことありすぎです。びっくりするくらいある！そんなときもあるよね？！

基金訓練で簿記

2011-06-11T15:24:57Z

お久しぶりです。MIXIとFacebookだけやってました。が、それすら怠けてきてしまったこのごろ（苦笑）です。

最近ですが、簿記の勉強をしています。オーストラリアから帰ってきて就職活動！のはずが全然上手くいかず、親の仕事を手伝っていたところ、３．１１東日本大震災が来ました。4月は一週間ほど東北へボランティアに行き考えさせられ、簡単に言うと実力をつけたいという結論に達しました。

そして5月はお金を扱う力が弱いと思ったのと事務系での能力もほしいとか色々思ってたら基金訓練というのがあるというのをYから聞いたのを思い出して探してみました。グローバル会計人養成科というのでBATIC(国際会計）という資格がとれるということで現在やってみています。早速7月終わりごろにそのテストを受けてみます。TOEICも受けなきゃだったり、そのうち簿記2級もとりたいと思いつつ。8月いっぱいまで学校～！また学校かよ！とつっこまれそうデス（爆）。

Where I have visited in my life. / いままで訪れた街。

2010-08-22T09:22:31Z

これまたFacebookを通して知った面白いAppli。いままでいったことあるところとか、行きたいところとかをマップに示せるもの。旅行好きにはいいかも☆

This is also what I've come to know through Facebook. It's an application that you can map where you have visited and will visit in your own world map. Yeah it can be for either your own satisfaction or letting your friends know abit more about you. It may be good for those who like trips!

Your hometown is thought from far away / 故郷とは遠くにありて思うもの

2010-06-26T16:54:53Z

Because you are far from there you think you would love to be there or feel nostalgic. Or if you are a traveller you would feel and think of anything shining to where you travel. This is what happens, maybe not always but often.

そこから遠くにいるのでその場所へ行きたく思う、もしくはノスタルジックに感じる。もしくは、旅行者なので、旅行しているところがすべて輝いているように思う。これはいつもじゃないけどよく起こることです。

There are two unable-to-see things in the world: The end of the universe and your eyelash. This is told as a metaphor in Buddhist teachings.

世界には二つの見ることができないものがある。宇宙の果てとあなたのまつげです。これが仏教で言われている比喩なんです。

I think that those things above are somewhat related.

これらのことはいくばくか似ていること思うんです。

What I want to say here is that I can be both a traveller and hometown-longing guy. I am not sure of whether on contrary or in related or in contrast to the above sayings - perhaps regardless of any of them - Tokyo that has been in 1.5 years is super cool for now me!

ここで言いたいのは、自分が旅行者や郷愁の念をもってる人みたいになれるってことです。どれかわからないんだけど、上で言われてることの反対か関係してるか対照的なのか―でもきっとどれでも関係なく―1年半ぶりの東京は今の自分には最高ですぜ☆

Some dreams are like surrealistic drawings

2010-05-29T05:42:08Z

A few of my dreams are: 1. Dig up a hidden treasure, 2. Adventure in an unknown continent, 3. Cast a magic, 4. Make friends with a ghost or unseen creature, 5. Have a pet lion, 6. Live in a parallel fantasy world....

Unreachable? Impossible with common sense. Or rather insane am I? Maybe realistically will write some fantasy things as compensation in the future.

Though having those kinds of dreams does NOT seem to make any sense, I DO think that there are yet unknown and undiscovered existences and knowledge in our world. Because we are humans that are always under development, the world must be bigger and wider than we would grasp in our hands. For example, I am not too sure but I think I have read something like this: Some scientists may say that there is a possibility to "reverse even the time" if some theory on the universe is correct. The theory simply says that if the universe starts to shrink, the time reverses as well. How unimaginable!

Ah, there came up more than a a few of my dreams.

how you know and decide on what to do or want to do

2010-04-14T06:00:55Z

it is the question of me finding what i will do after my graduation. there may be so many options, while i am not skilful. basically two distinctive futures awaits me. 1) I work for savings and go abroad for volunteering or another paid work. 2. I am loaned more money and go abroad straightforwardly. then continue working.

arrrr, it's tough. the one who decides on this is not intelligent/wise persons but only me. no one else substitutes for yourself.

i am probably so bad because while i'm stuck at things like this, what i study is people in suffering. if you compare their pain with my feeling.... it only tells me "what makes you think over but not act?"

that's it! think globally act locally! go local. i'm not very sure, but i should go for local actions.

When I woke up this morning somehow sadness was with me

2009-08-19T13:39:15Z

Was it because of the dream I had? Even though I had not had no idea of the content, I felt something left inside of me. What if you were one of the likes of me you would try to help yourself feel better?

Well while I am just writing this entry, I am getting a feeling that the reason I had the feeling is from yesterday. I was thinking of a close friend/soul mate whom I don't have. You know if you really focus on things you don't have or things you think you'd never get in reality you'll feel kind of empty/disgrace/less power/less respect or maybe even apathy. Arouse those feelings the dream of yesterday brought me to this morning...

Wanted the reasons and the consequences though.. Knowing yourself really is not as easy as like see/analyse/judge others, but often even seems plain simple hard. Agree?

一時帰国　Temporary return

2008-12-15T15:25:05Z

お久しぶり。8日から日本に一時帰国のMasaです。

オーストラリアの学校は夏休みホリデーで、今回の日本は2ヶ月以上いるんだけど、何しようかなあ。

It's been a quite while! I came back to Japan and stay here temporarily for over 2 months. It's my summer holiday now and this time I have that much of time, so I am wondering what to do here.

働くかも。でも不況の状況でいけるのか・・・

I will perhaps work. But I am not sure if the possibility is high for me in such bad economy.

Anyway, ganbaru zo---!

Friend's Graduation and Pool

2008-12-01T13:06:05Z

今日は友達のDのGraduationに行って来た！といっても写真を撮っただけなんだけど、なんせSuper cuteで興奮！いや周りが興奮してたのにつられたのか。とにかく短かったけど楽しかった！！！！

それからPoolの約束のためCityへ。それがまたまたYが送ってくれて・・・頭がさばるばっかり。この子も最高！それでSと待ち合わせだったけどそしたらNもきていた！最近この二人セット！NとはSGIでも会うし、SとはJapanese共感出来る少ない子だし・・・定番の関係！

Fat LouisでPoolしながら一杯、それから最近好例のIrish pubでちょっと飲んで、それからGeorge StのJapanese Ramen shopで一杯（らーめん）、何故かそれからまたCasino道向かいのIrish pubで・・・の、ノリ良すぎじゃん！？！？最後のPubではなんかみんな疲れてSilenceが多かったのになんかそれも良い雰囲気なのか、気にせん3 人なのな。。。（笑）

というか昨日の日記にやばい遊びすぎって書いてて、今日はまじめにTおばちゃまの家にいきたかったのだけど・・・ぎゃー。遊びすぎで脳みそ解けてるよ。。

ああ、途中でMobile壊れたのね。「Insert SIM card」で急に出て、、、Optus shopいったらSimがぶっこわれたんでしょうって言われ、４＄で新しいSimを買ってそれで直ったよ。意外と簡単だって良かった～。でも２，３年も Toughに生き残ってた携帯だからちょっとびっくりしたね。遊びすぎてるからこういうこと起こるのかも。。あ、でも今日から新しくお仕事したCは良い感じのようで良いこともあるぞっと！

Vegetarianism or even vegetarianisation

2008-10-14T14:50:39Z

I've got another vegetarian friend recently. That's really good because I sure am becoming a vegetarian, though I don't know why. I suppose that 60% of me is a vege already. I don't mind, apart from that it costs a lot! I don't afford it. *sign* That means that you are most likely to have to get supplements in order to avoid the lack of some nutrition, probably some kind of protein contained in meat.

I can be an meat eater yet. However, I guess that I'm becoming a real vegetarian in mostly a few years. For the reason, I wanna learn how to cook vege food. So far I've only 2 friends to ask of it. More importantly, I'm worried about when I go back to Japan what my mum cooks.

Organic food sounds cool. Today I bought organic ground coffee for a plunger which I finally bought. Then I made a cup of coffee from it, which was excellent and what I really needed in order to reduce the stress from the papers.

Well, don't worry that I don't say, "Stop eating meat at once!" *haha* It'd be offensive, quite strong. I don't like that way and I eat meat but it's less than sometimes. In contrast, I am afraid to be a vegan. I can enjoy eating cheese and eggs. I do love Italian food. If they became like what I feel to meat, perhaps I wouldn't enojy eating... lol

Meat eaters can become more aggressive? This is one of the contraversial topics on vegetarianism. I don't know and give a hoot. People can be good at finding excuses hey. People are just people.

By the way, what's totally good is that the vege friend is helping me out. I respect her because despite her busy life she can offer help to others. Also I must say this: I don't know the reason, but people around me are all smart. I found it the other day that one of them is her. I have something I can do for her, which is still good to get me her support. ;)

Yeah I will have to send her an e-mail tonight or in the tomorrow morning with a dull toothache. *phew*

How do you say becoming a vegetarian with a word? Vegetarianisation? Anyways, things are getting better or not?

Headed off to try to held GKI at UQ

2008-09-24T13:11:34Z

I really wanna write down about this!!!!
I'm kind of too excited right now!

Before starting it, yeah finally I've got a goal in my student life.
(I am deadly struggling with assignments all the time... lol)

My friends and I gathered and had lunch together at today's lunchtime. At that time we had a decision that we are gonna try to have an exhibition of GKI at UQ.

Finally it came out, which I've been secretly desiring it for last a few months!

Thanks Y and also B!!! It's a challenge and not sure. Just we'll see if it is successful or not after we try it. I hope that we will be able to involve many people like lecturers, classmates, friends and staff. Then it's gonna be enjoyable.

Mahatma Gandhi, Dr King and Dr Ikeda - GKI

Knowing that one's great life of accomplishing to make impossible possible can be that lighting limitless hope at people's heart.

Peace by Peaceful Means, isn't it?

This GKI exhibision that I saw the same one at university in Japan 10 years ago will come back to me... I just remember this and feel that life is truly wonderful and mysterious.

If you would like to know further, I'm happy to share anything with you.

PCE,

Masa

ここ数ヶ月ずっと思ってきたことがついに来た～！！

Thanks Y!そしてB！実現するかはやってみないとわからないんだけど、うちの大学、UQで展示に挑戦だよ。LecturerとかClassmatesとかFriendsとか色々巻き込んで、楽しく大成功でやれたら良いな♪

Mahatma Gandhi, Dr King and Dr Ikeda - GKI

一人の不可能を可能する、不屈の偉大な人生を知ることが、時に限りない希望を灯すこと☆

このGKIは、ほんと10年前にうちの大学で見たのを思い出したよ～あの時めっちゃ感動た。。。。それが今になって展示する側になるとは人生って何があるかマジ不思議で素敵やわ。

あまり接触無かったUQメンバーとも仲良くなれるし、楽しくなってきたよ～

Yもすぐ電話くれて言ってたけど、こういうことで張り合い出来てより頑張れる☆

Really the last moment of the OPC

2008-09-13T15:57:39Z

Oops, I didn't write a blog in English for a while, whilst I did a few in Japanese.

Well let me say about today when was the very end of the OPC - Oceania Peace Conference held the other day. It's because we together could finally have a drink meeting for celebrating the success. Yea there were many at the Centre. Wasn't it around 30 ppl? It sounds really many, though ppl came and went sometimes. Drink, eating, singing, performances, joking etc..

Till 11:30 at the centre... Wasn't that late my first time? Apart from that, what's interesting for me is that all ppl stayed till the end were Japanese and the like. This means I guess that people from Japan are not really industrious/serious but in fact fun-seekers/easygoing, despite that I believed. Other nationalities, including local people, came back home much eariler than us. Really. Ah, I should've remembered about the today's soccer game I heard of. This was probably part of why.

I really liked N's song for her hus. The song was the same that she sang for him at thier wedding. How romantic like that sweet made me feel melting. That three Malay girls' performance was excellent as well. Really like I saw and was touched that each of them, as they took turns, danced, sanged and played the piano one another, they might be able to do every artistic performance. I always feel this way but I am wondering of how artictic they are and how misterious coincidence that they are here together to study as the same university from one same country.

I would be continuing more and more. However, time limit doesn't allow me to do so. I can never say to others that this way is perfect. In contrast, I feel I will definitely be able to change myself this way and will show the change toward happiness to create and treasure others' values.

Bestfriend - Meeting with J

2008-08-30T13:00:25Z

J-chan and I met up in the city today. That is why yesterday she just got the sufficient result of the IELTS test, which she was waiting with anxiety for a long time and we wanted to celebrate together=) We hadn't see for a while, while she was free. I was the one who was very busy. Phew.

It's interesting to mention about that ramen shop on George St. You know the shop which is a bit new, come up 1/2 years ago? The other day before the meeting, we were talking about the shop, so went there. It is good! For me actually very good. I had a miso ramen and she had a seafood ramen. Mine was very close enough to what I eat in Japan! Tasty.

Then what's funny is that she knew and was saying she was talking a lot and sometimes needed to listen to others but couldn't do so. Haha. For me it in turn comes to the reason why I feel her cozy though. Regarding this, she said exactly what I heard from L, which led me to think something. That was that she has once realised she knew a lot about her close friends, whilist she knew little about them because she talked and talked on the one hand but they didn't on the other hand. As a consequence, at that time she lost her belief in them like that she might've doubt if they were her friends. It was so shocking for her.

In contrast, for me I am bad at talking completely. Therefore, by listening to others I make/keep a relationship and don't talk much or sometimes insufficiently. That's why I know a lot about them but they seem not to know about me. It's also unbalanced in a different way. Well, that unbalance may make J and me close on the contrary.

What she called me her bestfriend made me happy! That sounds a bit embarrassing usually. However, hearing it from her sounded just great! Because I like her as much as she likes me? Otherwise, it's hard for me to say you're my bestfriend?

Well, after the meeting, we totally missed today's main event Riverfire that is the annual biggest event in Brisbane!
