what motivates ppl?

Thinking about which group solve the problem "quicker", I think group B is the one.

It seems people could be more motivated when they have something to get when they finish the work. However, I just came up with the idea of greed. I think that makes peoples mind messy. When they really need to concentrate on the problem, that might be affect to the people in some way and people would not be think smoothly. Because of that emotion, people might get rushed and get a wrong solution. On the other hand, people have nothing just think about the problems. there is no reason but only the curiosity for the answer and I think that curiosity makes people move. In addition, when no one get nothing when it is finish, there is no rank between them. Therefore, nobody feel fairer or too much pressure on them. I think making good atmosphere is the key to solve the problems.

The candle problem

hummmmmmm... BEATS ME!!!:(

i have no idea what is the answer. i thought i have to do something with the table but it was said i can only use a candle, some matches, and a box holding some thumbtacks so it seems not.
i need a clue anyway.

i think i would my work efficiently when i find what that works for. in other word, i don't feel like start it when i not really sure what it is for so the reason for the work is pretty important for me. Therefor, i think it has benefit to make some treats when i finish it. for example, what i usually do is making a plan for hanging out with my friends after i finish writing report or something. that small thing affects me so much (not always though).
in addition, i just can't feel satisfaction that much. when i finished something big, like school festival maybe i can feel it. however, it is rare. i think i do my work because i have something after that. in my opinion, that work is not the end. it is just a point that i pass.

Beyond the kitchen!

No Reservations in Vietnam!!
I chose Vietnam just because I have some Vietnamese friends. They took me a Vietnamese restrain someday and I like it. I had a beef pho, rice noodle and a sweet shaved ice as a dessert. I had it when I was in Australia but it was the first time for me to try that dish so I was kind of surprised. I tasted some kind of spices that I hadn't tried before. It was little bit spicy for me. However, I enjoyed the dinner very much with my friends. Although, I was not really sure it is the real Vietnamese food or not. I asked my friends then they answered me like " It is nice but not really what we call Vietnamese food."

When Anthony had the meal in the restraint, his friend asked him do you think you can make similar taste of dish or not. He said I think I can. However, he also said it is important to have atmosphere when you have exotic dishes. Even though you made the dish totally the same, it's not the same if you have it at ordinary dining room. I pretty much agree with the idea and I personally believe what lucking in the Vietnamese restrain was that atmosphere. I found it is interesting that cooking is not only in the kitchen but also spreed in many ways. Therefore, you have to care about how to decorate the table. It might be the key to make the nice meals.

Having long hair style

One of the biggest women's beauty is consisted by their hair style. Therefore, many of them are wondering what kind of hair style they try next (pretty much always for me.).

I think into pros and cons about having long hair style today.
first, you look feminine. I think once Eve, the first women in the bible has has long hair it is a symbol of women. It marks women's curvaceousness very much because when you have long hair you having a smooth silhouette at the same time.
However, you have to care your hair condition everyday. Also, when you dry it, it takes much longer time than short one.
On the other hand, you can enjoy arranging your hair. You can change your appearance only to tide your hair up. With that hair arrangement, you can show your sense of beauty.

Cultures in Japan

I like seeing how the world understand Japanese culture or people. I think Japan has an unique culture. I mean even though Japan is a developed country, some parts still have some sort of old atmosphere, many temples in Kyoto for example. Also, there is a very long history in Japan and many of that still not extinct. It not that big matter whether they notice it or not but Japanese have that thick background so that it might looks strange for non Japanese. In fact, I heard some foreigners often say Japanese are so polite and they don't know why.

There is another thing in Japanese culture, what we called high quality of sub-culture. Animation is one of biggest industries in Japan. On the other hand, not so many Japanese realize that importance. It needs is huge from specific people (otaku) and that otaku wave is now spreted around the world. Not only Japanese but also everyone who loves the culture enjoying it a lot.

These mixed cultures are very interesting for me.
In my opinion, Japanese are strange but I like it.

The World University

I agree with Mr.Fukushima on the point that he mentioned about young Japanese students are not interested in studying abroad. Because Japan is consisted on group society and they cherish people in their circle, it would create the strong bound between people in the grope. However, it also makes huge gap between the strangers who are living in outside of the circle.
Therefore, some Japanese hesitate to go abroad. They could feel isolated when there is no Japanese around them. In addition to that, they might struggle with the anxious feeling that they could lose the bound when they stay oversea for a long time and as everyone knows, it takes a long time to graduate university. So that it would be hard for Japanese students to study in that environment.

It might be not enough only studying in Japan to get highly education as he said but the Times higher education, English education magazine showed the world university ranking and Tokyo university had ranked in 30 on October 6th 2011. It is the best result in Asian countries. There are another four more Japanese universities in top 200 that Chinese university had got three.
Still, it has 29 more universities ranking higher than Tokyo university. It is better to go those place for the best education. It education is not that worth but seems have long way to go.

Finally, the world getting color of globalization and Japan, island country hasn't fitted in that very well. It might be because of that historical issues but there is higher percentage to be succeed when Japanese society get global. So that Japanese government should try to help for young students to studying abroad and have open mind to another countries.

Present~< 333

I can say being here is kind of present for me :)

I wasn't think about going to this university since my homeroom teacher told me.
It was end of June and I was going to take other uni's entrance exam but teacher noticed me that this uni will start SIS course. I have been interested in English so I started prepare for the exam.
There were not so many time to do it but I tried hard and I made it as you can see.

I think I'm really lucky to be here. I met many great friends (of course include you guys;)) and notice there are many assignments in the university trying to kill me and when I start to work in a company, it could be get worth... x(
However I can feel awareness before that so it was good for me.

I want to make this present better by my effort and with your help;)
I LOVE YOUUUU(>∀<)<333 xoxoxo

WINTER!!

my winter brake gonna be extremely busy!
i hung out with my friends and travel many places.
but before that i have to make my grand parents and parent's new year's card (nengajyo).
i make it with pc every year and i got some treat from them:)
this year, my mum go to Hong Kong with her friends from Dec 26th so I have to make it as soon as i can but i usually get started late:( Both of them send the cards a lot (about 600 for each!)
so I have to be hurry in this year.

Adult

When you get older, is it makes you to be called adult? I don't think so. It is true that there is a age border that separate minor and adult but sometimes little kids might think more carefully or wisely than adult (maybe it because they are child, they think different way though) .

so I'm not sure what makes me I'm an adult.
I can tell I'm not really like I'm adult now. However, I have to pay my tax from next year and have to vote. I just can't believe it... I have to be responsible more than now.

At the same time, it's a kind of exciting thing to be adult for me. I think that would be cool if I can stay calm and help others because it is my ideal image of adult;p However, it is often saying that ideal and real is different so I'm not really think of it. haha
I wish I can get closer to the adult every day. little by little:)

I forget!!

umm, my memories,,,, well, I think I'm not good at remembering things because I just can't think of any. There are pictures so I can tell what I was like but hard to say like, how I felt at that moment or what I was thinking about. I do remember what I was like a month ago but before that......not sure. x( haha

I'm thinking hard now and something came up. :D
When I was in kindergarten, I love playing outside and my favorite was swings. I always play with boys and playing sports then got dirt but my mum didn't mind it. I also like to go fishing with my dad and when we went to the river I went into the river and my cloth got wet. My dad didn't care about it either;) so when we came back to home I cleaned my body in front of the house first (there is pluming) and my mum went out with a big towel. I still go to fishing with my dad but I don't have much time lately.

This is the earliest memory that I could remember. I was about four or five. I was a kind of kid who had tons of energy. I was a tomboyish girl but I did love reading picture books and painting but not really like playing... well I say gracefully. lol
ah, I remember I was really into Pokemon. I loved pikachu's stuff toy. I brought it every where. It must have got dirt too.

well, this blog helps me to remember what I was like! :p
It almost a year since I started this. wow...!!

Italy

I'd like to visit Italy someday. I took Italian class last semester and it was pretty fun to speak Italian. I wished I could choose Italian for second language. Its pronunciation is fun to pronounce! That makes me feel I'm saying foreign words which is enjoyable for me.

One of the reasons why I like Italy is the language and another is food and lots of historical places. I love basil and tomatoes and cheese. They can make fantastic pizza margherita. Buono!
There are many places I'd love to visit. One is Pompeii. This is the remains of ancient Rome and world heritage where whole town used to be covered by volcanic ash. Therefore, it still has old buildings or street. Visitors can see how the ancient people were lived. It's very interesting!

My sister and I are planing to go oversea next holiday and my sister wants to go to Egypt and I wanna go to Italy. Egypt is great for me too so it is really great if we could visit both of these countries. well, maybe someday.

Misunderstanding between men and women in the kitchen

It is not really like misunderstanding but...
From the ancient time, men don't cook. Women cook usually.
There is a idea which some Japanese men think that men shouldn't cook at home. They think cooking is women's work. I don't mind cooking. I like it actually. well, like to cook and cooking well is another thing though. ;p
Some men think women cook well and some women think men can't stand with it. Maybe it is true but lately there are many cooking men on TV or books. In addition, there are many famous chef or patisserie and of course they are men. So I think nice gentlemen should have have great cooking skill;) There is no excuse that men don't need to cook nowadays!

FALL

Does fall still exist? This is what I though lately. I don't know it is because of global worming or not but these few years, when summer ends winter comes really soon. I feel it takes only a week to change season summer into fall. The climate changes so sudden that people get cold easily.
However, I like fall. There are nice foods (great harvest season) and makes me feel like reading a lot of books! Now I'm reading Nobou no shiro (The castle of Nobou). It is historical story. The book takes place in 1590. I'm usually not into these thing but the comic book artist who I love designed these covers and it becomes movie maybe next year? so that I reading it. It is pretty exciting book. There are lots of war tricks which the commander (he is Nobou) uses. He is brave and smart. I want to read more books this fall! ...winter? lol

My type

my type....ummmmmmm:(

I dont have any particular type. I can say someone i liked is my type. so that they had many different characteristics. kind, funny, crazy
I want to find my right man but I don't wanna rush. I just wanna enjoy my time and someday, maybe I can find them.

Kimini Todoke

kiminitodoke!!
this is girls comic but everyone read it even boys reading it.
that is about the girl who scared by everyone fall in love with a nice guy. this guy is so sawayaka. his name is Kazehaya-kun. he is friendly and kind moreover his smile is so cute.
I can feel the sweet feeling that I nearly forget. sometimes my face turn red because they are so pure, not matured so cute!! you have to check it before you get old!!

Drinking scotch;)

When I was in Canada with my host family, I got a interesting experience. My host father was from Scotland and he had unusual way to greeting guests. When the family gathered and there are guests, they bring a cup of scotch whisky and everyone at there drink it. I was under age and never drunk any alcohol before so that was my first experience of drinking alcohol. I actually didn't know what it like. My host mother said you don't really need to do that but I got interested it and wanted to try that. so that I sipped it a little bit but scotch is very strong one so I coughed a lot and my host father laughed at me. I couldn't stop it about few minutes. I surprised but I like it. I want to be able to drink it without coughing someday. I gonna wait till when I get older;)

techonologyyyyyyy

I love my cell phone, PC, texting, emailing, do chat on the net, see CG pictures and more but when I think about technology, I think the air conditioning machine is the most important technological thing for US, I mean people to survive.
global worming is now considered very seriously and last summer was extremely hot!!! I can't remember how many times I was nearly dead and I was helped by them for about thousand times. lately it's getting chilly, you know. I like this weather but when it get colder, I really need Kotatsu or air conditioner. I just can't make my body cool or worm by myself anymore. I know i shouldn't but it seems it is too late;p
BTW I just can't help myself sleeping with my Kotatsu. How about you?

back to uni!

My vacation was just great! I had lots of people and really enjoyed hunging out with them.
I love spending time with my friends. This time, I picked the time I met my high school friends to write. I couldn't met my high school friends during spring semester because I had lots to do so I decided to meet them. I went to fireworks party with them once. We also saw another fireworks and ate shabushabu together. nobody were changed. I took it good way. nothing changed between us. I felt like I'm a high school student. It was fun. really. They are really nice friends;) I love my friends not only them but everyone! Thank you so much my friends!!

SUMMER SUMMER

Summer is coming. it's getting hot lately... I don't like it. Even though I was born in July, I don't like it. I prefer winter. I can stay with cold weather but not hot one. however, I like summer activities. such as go to beach or swimming pool and fireworks. now I'm looking forward to see fireworks from my house. Many people come to this big festival. I talked about this on this blog before but I have to remember this because there are many posters in my neighbors and if I forget the date I might have in trouble. because lots of people come, there is not enough train so if I go out that day I just can't get back home! one of my friends did it before. anyway, I can see fireworks with no patience:) just wait at home and when i hear the sound I get my head off from my balcony. sounds good?

JAPAN

if i want to show what japan is... i will bring some fashion magazines with me because this is what i like in here and i know it a lot so it is easy to explain. in addition, i think japan have lots of kind of them. each books have interesting ideas. I think knowing subculture is pretty fun. I also like some historical cultures in japan but this subculture saying what is going on right now and its easy to compere to another cultures. therefore, they can talk their cultures and i can talk my one and i personally believe that every single girls in this world loves fashion or want to be look nice. even though they haven't notice it yet, I'm pretty sure they are. so that i wanna know how the girls live abroad think about fashion. it must be exciting :)
