I,these days sometimes think what is normal? I used to be said that I was unique.Firstly my voice was unique(this is something I can't mend(*^_^*)more or less my voice is bit too high tone・・・this was very naturalfor me (*^_^*))ecause of that or so my story goes this way ,then jump to other way and again goes to different way・・・I want to be the one who was good at talking or listening(laugh)
Yesterday,I joined the program called assertion ,that means to lead to the conclusion that would be good for me & you. Members who were joined this said lots of opinions,among that there was a one which was very impressive,that was "It's easy to make every bad thing because of our mental deseases " Well, I'm sure that it's so easy to think I can't communicate smoothly because of this diseases,but if you say so nothing changes・・・for me this was so hard to listen to ・・・because I can't easily change
After joining this program am I changed my own character soon? am I be able to good at communicating with anyone? This would be ,NO. If I think about to talk with too much high tention to cheer up myself It would be kept about a few hours or a few days ,but after that You would be back to the same poor communication person. Should I give up to aim that I would be the one who is very good at talking or should I be the one to good at lisning to other people's stories? because I am not good at talking(laugh) Well,actually, to be honest , to talk properly and to listen to properly is ideal for me.
assertion training is difficult・・・（bitter smile) I'm the one who feel very blue only with one small nagative word to me. hang on, Be strong myself,I・・・can't I hang on,and be strong？？？？？？(*^_^*)
Today there is a program called "YUMECHIKA"and a duo ,"HIIRAGI"is on it.They did in store live with a new single "nakid" on 22nd and 23rd of Sep.I am looking forward to seeing them on TV♪（Thank you so much Ms. R to let me know a lot about "HIIRAGI"-SAN(*^_^*)<(_ _)>）

On 18th Sep.3 of my friends & I ate lunch together.One has known since elementary school,other one has known since high school and the other from junior college, I have known them for more than 20 years.But one of them who moved to Kobe city hasn't seen about 10 years,and she & I were conected just by Greetind cards such as new years and birthdays,so I wonder how she would think about me, but it turned out to be my too much thinking. she hasn't changed at all in a good way.
We went to a cafe produced by Harumi Kurihara(cooking teacher) http://www.yutori.co.jp/restaurant/cafe_sapporo.html on 5th floor at Daimaru department store. My friends ordered A dish of rice fried with meat, vegetables and curry powder(called "dry curry" in Japan)and Avocado sandwiches. And I ordered Kid's plate(well,I'm 38 year-old, is there any problem to order it??(I know you say OK to me (*^_^*)) because they said no problems at all.Kid's plate was served with An omelette with rice, fried chickens ,salad(this time was pumpkin salad)and mini fruits.This dish has good quantity for adult,too and price was 1100yen(drink was incruded) This time one of my friend treated for me! Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it<(_ _)>
Our talk was almost non-stop. About works, ordinary life ,healthand I asked aboutPC which came with alot of question marks,such as "Is it possible to keep WORD or EXCEL documents with CD=R or why MD became bit hard to find? how you defrost a pressed file?"etc.They answeredwith good explanations ,but my head has little space to memorize ,so now, I can't remember well...but,listening to natural style talkand spent these precious time became my treasure. Well,please invite me again these girl's(women's?)talk . Keep in touch and again, thank you so much <(_ _)>(*^^)v

Because this was my first MR.Sada live!! I was excited (although I had a feeling that this would be a great live about both singing & talk)how it was going to be
After he sang 2 songs MC started He said He didn't mind if a audience said " Sada's music was so good! so I could sleep so well.But I plead you not to wake up only when my MC started" and He talked to a man who was delayed "please take your time to find your seat ,I only finished 2 songs...but, those 2 songs were "a chief caracter" & "scarecrow"which were ,I might say ,crusial songs". Like this from the bigining his talk was so fluent. My favorite artists, KOBUKURO's MC is always great, but Mr.Sada's MC is really funny",too ,so, I was soon in Mr. Sada world before I knew it.
After singing "paulownia flower "He taught about Japanese famous poet, Hakushu Kitahara(who wrote the collection of poems called paulownia flower )"Hakushu was falling love with a woman who had a husband. and that time it was a very cirious sin so,after her husband let the police know about Hakushu he was in jail. Although Hakushu & the woman got married after pasionate love later they parted only for half year(I can't remember how long their love lasted,but i'm sure they divoced soon)
"He wrote dreadful introduction in the poems 【here comes the my favorite season, autumn & of Castella sponge cake】Hakushu was from Fukuoka not from Nagasaki(Castella Sponge cake was special prduct of NAGASAKI Mr. Sada is from NAGASAKI)but mention about it!! this was a big surprise !!
"I had been to FUKUSHIMA(I guess, he said FUKUSHIMA not FUKUOKA)and was surprised to see the writing "FUKUSHIMA's special product, NAGASAKI Castella sponge cake"(*^_^*)well, I don't mind as long as FUKUSHIMA advatised about NAGASAKI's Castella "
But,the children who was from Castella kingdom,NaGaSAKI was more blessed than others when thinking about the times, just the end of the war and there was nothing . When you had 5 yen,it7s large sum of money,4of us together it becomes 20 yen,it is right isn't it?I'M not good at arithmetic,still less mathematics.Well,the looser of Rock, paper, scissors went "fukusaya" where was lacated over the bridge called ○○bridge(I forgot the name of the bridge) to buy the ends of Castella,it took about 20 minute one way.These Castella 's ends were sold out as soon as the shop was opened,therefore you have to go in a hurry.and duringone of them went the shop we played with lots of things.And when the person came back we gave the biggest Castella to the person. And that was the time we don't have time to think about how dreadful colon bacillus was or no time to think this place was not clean,so, we placed Castella on the durty benches of parks etc and then mesured the length of each of them!such as saying " this one is big one!"(with special accsent of Nagasaki)
"everyone,how thick you cut Castella?"when you are asked we almost answer the same size.I ask everyone at this place"how thick you cut Castella?"(everyone at the live place indicatedwith thumb & forefinger) "see,almost same thickness!! there might be slight difference, that is the difference between poverty and wealth (laugh) The rich cut castella bit thicker,so, the poor cut it thinner.Did you know when you place cutted castella for a while they lean to the same directions(so,did Mr. Sada lean his body)"But,if you place them more than 30 minutes,the castella become more soften.Please remember the season from now is the season of castella"he said like this.
After the performance of "north country"he said "this song is used like a theme of HOKKAIDO,I 'm so glad about that" "This song is performed at the baseball game of NIPPON HUM FIGHTERS(one of baseball team belong to HOKKAIDO) "this song(he mimiced as if holding a wind instrument and start the performance of "from the north country"(from you tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-3gnAk3G-w)→【(with fast pitch )puppu pupupupu～,puppu pupupupupu～ GO FOR IT ,○○○←（shout at baseball player 's name】"so,I thought how come this song is being like this (laugh) "Last time when I went to Fukuoka(south of Japan) to see a baseball game SOFTBANK HAWKS & NIPPON HUM,and before the game started (some NIPPON HUM fanplayed "from north country"『pupu～pupupupupu～』（a bit out of tune)that melody is something I can't explain,so I was moved much and wondered 『which team I should support(He was born in south of Japan called NAGASAKI so,his favorite is rather SOFTBANK HAWKS)』then, everyone said 【it got to be NIPPON HUM!!】(we did big applause(laugh)"
"MUENZAKA"was played with Mr. AKIRA NAGAI who was a concertmaster,Vancouver at Canada, had very good relationship with Mr. sada and he was from Asahikawa. Because I had very little knowledge about classical music he was a concertmaster who taught all Japanese ones ,but his so gentle face made me bit hard to beliebe he was some concertmaster,he looked just like gentleman.The violin performed by Mr. Nagai,Guitar by Mr. Sada,other instruments by suppoertmembers harmonized with one another. Mr. Sada seemed to be very impressed and said "how long has it been since I sang 'MUENZAKA' without playing violin by myself ? "
After "COSMOS",I guess ,he talked about a first-class Japanese restaurant and explained next song "Food boiled down in soy with samll fish called TSUKUDANI" This song was written by Japanese famous writer 'MASUJI IBUSE 'and Mr. SADA composed it. I don't remember surely but he said that he wrote "SHOUROUNAGASHI"at 21 year-old,"MUENZAKA"at 22,"COSMOS" at 23(all 3 of songs became big hit in Japan),he continued "I was called genius when I was young and old people at that time liked bit strange young ones,therefore I was invited to a first-class Japanese restaurant by Mr.○○（I forgot tne name )and drank with TETSUZOU TANIKAWA (philosopher ,the father of SHUNTARO TANIKAWA (Japanese famous poet,translator etc.)),FUJIO AKATSUKA (famous cartoonist) SHUSAKU ENDO(FAMOUS WRITER)!!!" " Do you believe it? Everyone envys me,but because I had a lot of chances to drink with old ones everybody believed that I was as same age as SHINJI TANIMURA OR CHIHARU MATSUYAMA"(both are very famous Japanese singers )(I'm not sure he said these singers names??)"That's wrong.They were 5,6 year old older than me,don't try to classify me with them.
About the poem of MASUJI IBUSE "Mr. ○○ was calling【Hey, SADA ,come here!】I felt happy and went there,then he said【I, HATE YOU. you were man but sang songs such as very weak women 】,【There was a song which fitted you.that song was sang only by you】and I was taken to Mr. IBUSE ,○○said【MR.IBUSE,MASASI SADA who I was taken care of really really want to sing your poem 'Food boiled down in soy with samll fish called TSUKUDANI'would you please allow him to sing it?】Because Mr. IBUSE was grown man 『No problems at all, please use it』,this poem was that Mr. IBUSE bought 'TSUKUDANI',but he dropped them into a pool after the rain as he stared at the pool 'TUKUDANI 'had beautiful color in the water, but they never come alive even in the water again ,Mr. SADA said "I loved the way Mr. IBUSE pour SAKE.『SADA,please drink ,please drink』and thought he was a really really good man,so I said to my maneger ○○（I forgot the manager 's name..sorry)「say,was Mr. IBUSE such a good man?」then my manager answered such a fool answer, [He was like a hag!!]
And my favorite story was about UFO. He said "There was a girl who I loved.Used to be It was unbeliebable to walk man & woman hand in hand.I was shocked at SUSUKINO( An entertainment district in Sapporo),oh yes, well,there was a girl I love, she asked me 『why don't you go to see UFO together by bus,SADA?』 that departure was at night and( he seemed to say it was 0o'clock midnight??) I was so happy to be with her through the night ,so I went.There were about 20 people, among the one who wore glasses looked so intelligent(smart guy),he talked about stars and so on, all of girls listening with shrill voice. And the bus went to midnight Mt. FUJI. Itwas much better to go daytime Mt. FUJI,more beautiful ,besides you can see nothing around at 2 o'clock"
"When we got there the smart guy took out a hand lantern and started talking again. AND all the girls went around him.then he said 【ok,let's call UFO】"I was excited and thought 「call UFO, call UFO,great」He continued 【make circle】 "all the girls went to his side ,all guys were around me .AND 【hold hands 】 ,because there was no choice I holded hands with next guy,although I didn't want to .To express him one word「Cholesterol」.After that the intelligent said 【please～～ come～～！(voice like an idiot)I】 I was sure nothing would come,oh well, there was no way but doing that,so with small voice I said 「Please come～～～～」over and over again for more than 40 minutes.but nothing happened,therefore the intelligent started to irritated, and said 【there was someone who won't believe that the UFO came.That was why the UFO wouldn't come!!】
"I was startled with his guess and thought 「I has bad mind,that's why the UFO won't come」.so with every one ≪PLEASE COME～～～～～≫we said that witout stopping,then everybody さいｄ≪oh ,it's coming comingGGG～～～～！！！＼(^o^)／≫Only I couldn't see taht,so I didn't want to ,but asked the colesterol guy「where was it?」then the colesterol started to excited 『There, SEE, THERE!!!』but I couldn't see,but when you see very very carefully there was a slight light, I thought that was a satellite ,but every one said the UFO,on our way back home all of them were excited about THE UFO and said ≪that was good ,that was great≫ I reflect myself and thought I had narrow mind(bitter smile).the girl who he loved, as soon as she got to HARAJYUKU station,『See you,SADA ,take care』and disappeared"He talked very helpless ,but funny story to us.
When he talked there waere persons who giggled out of tune everytime they did that Mr. SADA & WE bursted out laughing and Mr. SADA expressed taht "Laughing Kookaburra is singing".because talk part became longer than he expected,he excused ,"It's not my fault but that giggle out of tune"
Last Thu. I challenged Karaoke by myself for the first time. That is because there ware a lot of day-care-center members who went to Karaoke by themselves. And also another reason was that one of the member said a Karaoke shop called UTAYA at KOTONI where is near from my Apartment you can sing Karaoke with 80 yen per 30 minutes, from 11 am ～6pm
I went there around at 3 pm. The place was crowded with high school students or women. after 10minutes or so waiting for my turn, I was called and went to Karaoke room. After ordering drink I started singing One-man Karaoke show. I input a song one by one after finishing one song. As thinking what to sing next at first, but later starting to input songs during intermezzo. As a result I think I sang about 16 ～18songs（＾ｕ＾）
Because I wanted to know how was my singing skill I covered one side of my ear...I discovered my singing was poor(laugh). people who are good at Karaoke can sing variety of songs I envied them(*^_^*)As thinking like this I found that a song called "HANA(HANA means flower)"by KOUSUKE ATARI I can sing normally. His key seemed to fit mine.（ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtMyjRqKMgs if you have time please listen to this song .although I can't mimic his unique way of singing) I hoped to go to Karaoke again with my friends or by myself again and want to practice songs.
I started to jog about 5 days ago and think to continue until the winter season. Last Fri. on my way back to apartment I met one of the day care center members. He was the one I hardly spoke before. He said he used to work at service industry . His talk was very fluent and we talked about an hour before I knew it. I thought it's great to do jog like this sometimes.
Last Sun. I went to the basement shopping mall of Sapporo , called "AURORA town",because I knew the acquaintance company of ENDO Kigata company which they are always good to me called "M@KS"was held "herb tea tasting at "KITA kitchen"(north kitchen)Recently I haven't been to center of the city much and alsohaven't been to "KITA kitchen" before ,so it was fun to look around the products there(unfortunately, to take the pictures were prohibited ,so if you live near there please come and visit "KITA kitchen" which displays products,made in HOKKAIDO )
Back to the story of tasting of M@ks,I maybe tasted"lemon blend" "White mint" and "kamomeal",too. All of tea has nice flavor to drink and there was no bitterness. I guarantee about the taste besides there were a lot to learn about how to service to customers.
①their way to serve customers are natural ②don't push their products to customers too much ③they have enough knowledge about the products so you can trust what they say ④they don't forget to appeal their product with unobtrusive way
and so on.These manners are used not only when you sell something but also can be used in ordinary life so, I hope to be like them who gave gentle smile to me & customers all the time
And there was a good thing today.I received a letter from a girl who I once got mad about her manner mentioned at my latest blog.She drew her original ones ,that made me so happy.
She wasn't mentioned about the insident of last time ,but her gratitude and tenderness to me come direct to my heart and that warmed my heart. I can't imagine how we build our friendship,but I 'm sure there is no chance I would be furious to her again.
私も彼女のお陰で１つ大人になれた？？(*^_^*)気が（気だけかもですが・・・）します。
Because of her I can grow up one step??(*^_^*)（or do I just feel that way ...)
One more thing to introduce. I went to MITSUKOSHI department store with a friend of daycare center member. She asked me if I am interested in to go to the event hall of 10th floor where sold separated OCHUGEN products on special price(OCHUGEN is one of the Japanese culture to send mostly some foods or drinks etc. during summer season to show our gratitude to our close relatives,friends or companies and so on. and now it's out of season for OCHUGEN,therefore they separate the products and sell with bargain price)
I am very weak in department store.Especially to be talked by clarks.Although Food floors or special events ' floor of 10th is somehow all right, but when I come to clothes ,cosmetics or accesorry floors I suddenly feel like running around(laugh)
They sold juice, hams,retort-packed-food,coffee,sweets etc. with reasonable praice until 9th of Sep. so it might be a fun to look around if you have time and are interested in this event.
I happened to go for a walk with a day care center member. we talked a lot of things and had a nice time but ,befor almost reaching to my apartment I said "I am the worst silly person" and she said "oh,you are the worst silly person,aren't you"with serious face without any denial.I don't remember how we reached to such conversation...but,this made me get mad ...although i said to myself "if I felt like this way I shouldn't have used these words to her from the beginning " and at the same time,thanks for her I realized that there must be a lot of people who hurt with my words,too. Because I am so poor at praising people and at laugh tragedy off(in a good way to make people feel better).So her words became a good cause to reflect my ordinal actions or words and wished to stop being act like that.I have to say thank you for her...but, even so ,to be honest with you I feel bit mad and bit sad ,too(wry smile)...if these feelings are gone can I be one step closer to a gentle charactor like cherub?...there still is long way to go , I think(a roar of laughter)
