Laughter Yoga

Laughter Yoga

I wanted to exercise and a bit socialized so I decided to attend some club called “Laughter Yoga” last Sunday.
I though they do Yoga in a park.
What they do was not really Yoga, I found out after I attended.

They just laugh.

Firstly we introduce each other.
And after they say their name, they need to laugh in a big voice, this is their manner.
The organizer said that not to care who laughs at you is a great lesson to give up your ego.

In a park, people just enjoy their time doing various things for sure.
However I think we attract many people's attention.

I think their practice is nice but it was just a bit different from what I expected and I wanted to move my body more.

I do not think I attend again.

Reading a novel

As you can see, I have some disadvantage in English.
I can read and write and speak however I've got to admit I can not do some particularly which require me more vocabulary.
Reading novel is one of them.
I can read some technical article if it is written in my knowledge since technical article never require me more vocabulary than novels do.
I decided to attend some book club recently. The next meeting will be hold 30th and I am reading the book which is assigned to the next meeting.
“Never let me go” by Kazuo Ishiguro.

So I visited some bookshop where they deal with books in English.

The shop is called “Good day books” in Ebisu. Since books there are used, they are relatively cheap.
Lucky me, I found the book there and I was able to purchase at the discounted price.

I was afraid I might not be able to read.
However I find out I can manage to read it. I can get what is written without dictionary.
What is more I find reading is quite comfortable. It is a bit small escape from my real life.
Escape is not so good word though.
I can have some brake in my real life.

Scary story

I've heard a scary story from my colleague.
She talked about her old male friend. She have known him so many years.
One year ago, he got married. However he was not happy in his marriage life.
And he asked her some advice.
The advice she made was he should have children and develop his family.
One year later, his wife got pregnant however this couple decided to split already.
Of course he is adult person who made decision his life.
So my colleague has nothing to do with it.
However I can see when she made advice she did not even imagine this conclusion.
What is more, my colleague is now his girlfriend and considering marriage.
Wow.
I feel so scared.
She is so nice and understand people so people often take her advice straightly.
Life is so.. what can I say...life is so scary.

BUSY

I am in a busy period.
I can only work but nothing else.

To be really honest, I feel anxious.

Wedding shawer

I attend a wedding shawer this weekend.
It is my first time in my life since Japanese barely do this party.

Wedding shawer is a small party to celebrate for bride and gloom.
The bride is Japanese however the gloom is Singapolian.


The bride is clerebreated by her female friends and we talk and have small and
warm party. I guess the gloom is also supposed to be celebrated by
his male friends.
I guess this is why we have this western style.
Is this American?
British people also have this?

We brought presents to her from her wish list.
I purchased an electonic tooth brash.
I wanted to buy something more pretty things thought.

It doest not look pretty or cheerful so I put some effort to make it pretty
by wrapping with pretty paper.




we are around fifteen people.
We all really wish her happyness.

Independent

Independent
Some days ago, I thought of the concept of "Confident".
Still I do not think I get enoguht.
When people do not have confident, people are scared of
other people's eyes. People's eyes judge who you are and
people might not like you.
That is so scarely.
I talked about "Indenpedent" this time.
Independet mean that you can get what you want and need by yourself and
you know that you can fix the problems when it happend.


Since I was a child, I wanted to be an independent person.
I have discussed the concept "independet" often with my friends for my life.
I thouhgt "independet" mean that people do not realy on anyone and
do not need anyone. I have wondered if people can be strong to that extent.



What is your definition of "independent"?

Hacker's meeting

Hacker's meeting

Last week, I attended a hacker's meeting since my nerd friend invited me there.
There I met several people.
They are quite American there.
One of them is a main developmer of Ubintu, I heard.
I think he should proud of it since Ubuntu is
one on the most used Linux in thI e world.
He taought me about LLD so on.
Have you ever heard about LLD.
As far as I LLD is an application between
the internet and the internet browser.
SO is the sistemy fory Linux and LLD is the system.
Am I right?!
I love computer and have some passion for it although
my skill and knowledge is exteam small.

Japanese nit club

Japanese nit club

HAve you ever been one of them?
We have this sort of unique places.

There , you can talk with beautiful girls and drink and pay much.
They are basially for men.

In our society, many working male need someone who listen thier story and
smile at them however they can not find that kind of friends or family.
All of are too busy.
So they go to this kind of nit club.
You just sit and talk with girls with paying huge.

Today we had guest from other countries and took them this sort of place.
It is my first time to be this kind of place.
Most of our guest looked a bit lost.
Some of our guest even mention the movie, "Lost in translation".

Homeless

Homeless


Today I watched TV and watched a TV program about homeless person.
One year ago, he killed his mother because of the poverty. His health was not good
and could not work. At the same time, he have to take care of his sick mother.
Now he is out of the prison and be homless.
He is gaining a small money everyday from some support.
With that money , he buys 88yen(40p) candy sometimes. That is the only thing he please
himself.
I think he sometimes need to please himself more not to make himself push to the corner.
(Is this right expression in English??)
I sometimes go to cafes. A cup of coffee cost me at least 400yen (2£).

One of the impressive charactor of Japanese society is that we have not have much gap between rich and poor.
We did not have much and extream rich and we did not have much poor and extream poor.
All of us were middle class.
After the world war 2, we decided to make this kind of society.
I am not sure it was the right decision or not.
Since because of this decision we might loose many things and at the same time we obtain something.
We loose the diverswity in the society and that makes our society boring and empty.
However we obtain the society that all people do not need to worry about food.
So I think Japanese society was a bit like communism.
However things are changing. We start to have some extream rich and some extream poor.
Some people suside becasue of the poverty especailly the rural places.
Only rich can have good health treatmetn and only rich can have good education.
This thing is always in my mind.
I am not from good family just a bit below middle class.
I have paretents and they tried to give me a good education.
To give me good education, we gave up many things. Since my parents are not
really educated they could not see what I needed to be educated and just made me
everything they thought of. Sometimes I even feel guilty of my exsitence.
I always think at leaset education of children should be given without
thier parenet condition.




Life is unfair.
I know.
However some people who is next to me can not buy even chocolate?
I am too small but I am not happy about this.

Isolation

When I need people beside me, I often can not find.
I guess
When my friend need me, I am busy with other things.

I understand things.
However it is not easy.

At my work, I think I have to take isolation since
I work as a professional and need to be independent although We work as a team.

I am happy in my company but sometimes I find a bit hard.
