Nobu's Diary

Warm winter way

Sat, 04 Feb 2012 17:10:17 +0900

I enjoyed pleasant works with my wife at the elementary school's exhibition.
　
Among them, we couldn't help smiling to see these lovely Fu-jin pictures that my son and his classmates drew.
　

Hometown

Tue, 31 Jan 2012 22:00:27 +0900

My two sons went to my hometown Tsuyama today.
　
The elder got a digital single-lens reflex camera a few days ago by saving his allowance.
　
So he was looking forward to taking photos at various places in the northern part of Okayama.
　
Under my parents' influence, they must use my native dialect like "-jaken" or "-ja" for a while after getting back to Tokyo.
　
It'll be fun:)
　

Urban Camping site?

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 15:50:27 +0900

I found many tents on the underground passage between Shin-maru build. and Maru-build.
　
It was an experiment of how people could stay at the underpass in case of a big earthquake.
　
I felt it was very good to be prepared for contingencies.
　

AED

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 22:58:22 +0900

I attended a workshop to know how to use AED, which helped me a lot to understand many things about first aid.
　
Heart massage works for pumping the blood to the brain, not for restarting breath, and AED doesn't work for the heart that stops completely, and so on.
　
Most important thing I learnt was that it was very easy to use.
　

Stayed hungry to play, and really stayed foolish:)

Shortly after my son went out, his friend living next door also rushed out though it was late at last night.
　
They looked very happy!

Chat over coffee and blueberry cheese pie as dessert with my wife.
　
　
In our area, children walk to elementary school in a small group of neighbors.
　
My younger son became a 'Hancho' from coming April because of losing Janken.
　
The group had 12 members in my elder son's day about 5 years ago, but only 5 members now.
　
And there're 85 pupils in my son's 5th grade, but only 53 new pupils will come.
　
Decreasing more and more.
　

Roast fish

Had lunch with my coach yesterday.
　
Talking about the 6 days training program that I planed for my staff, which is intended to improve logical communication abilities and problem-solving skills under his guidance.
　
I hope to see good business strategies by each team after repeated hypothesis and test cycle at the end of this course.
　

When and where?

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:49:55 +0900

I lost my commuter pass!, I realized the disaster in front of the ticket gate.
　
I hurried to the office to check if it was on the pathway, but nothing could be found.　
　
"You've Got Mail", the company mobile phone showed a message when taking the train with hopeless feelings.
　
After logging in the intranet, I was deeply impressed by the message that a kind member of the different department found it.
　
So relieved!

New year party with camping friends last night:)
　
We used to enjoy 'Takibi-talk' on the camping ground until late at night almost every week.
　
It was a rare event that I was the youngest!
　

Lucky!

Mon, 16 Jan 2012 23:00:18 +0900

By real-time lot, I won the prize of On-Demand preview of Ken Watanabe's Hayabusa, a probe vehicle that successfully landed Itokawa.
　
As I had enjoyed Yuko Takeuchi's another Hayabusa's movie, hope this would be interesting too!
　

Imitation factory in China?

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 23:13:57 +0900

Actually, my daughter didn't finish her homework for winter vacation till the middle of this week.
　
She was having a hard time with this imitative painting late in the night!
　
I advised her to be more organized, but she might take after me:)
　

Largest rice consumer per person

Sun, 08 Jan 2012 21:07:30 +0900

It's reported SEZ(special economic zone) will be set up in Myanmar, of which three zones are for Japan, Korea, and other countries.
　
After Secretary Clinton visited there, land prices seem to have rapidly increased and only its currency has risen among Asian developing countries because of the expectation of lifting of economic sanctions by western countries.
　
As we've conducted basic research for the country, I want to see the situation of the eve of its economic growth and 'Money game' for the land speculation.
　

Anko-Nabe

Sat, 07 Jan 2012 13:21:46 +0900

New Year party at a hideaway-like restaurant, 'Yamahara' inside Tsukiji Fish Market with former colleagues last night.
　
Very delicious seafood came one after another:)　
　
Thankfully, It's a Bring Your Own restaurant!
　

No Fuji, no Eagle, no Nasubi

Mon, 02 Jan 2012 10:31:10 +0900

I put this Hatsuyume-fuda under my pillow for the first good dream last night.
　
But, unfortunately, the dream that I remembered when I awoke was issues about production bases in ASEAN countries(>_<)
　
And as usual, it was unclear and unreasonable.
　
Where has my romantic dream gone?
　

Happy new year!

Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:57:34 +0900

We just came back from a shrine near my house.
　
As the new year began, I prayed for good health and happiness of my family and those around me.
　
As we all know, we've been facing the major turning point in many aspects not only for Japan but also for the world, which would undoubtedly lead to large changes again this year.
　
Thinking about what should be done and how to carry out, let's keep on positively getting through this age with diversified perspectives together.
　
Change brings opportunities!
