Bear market

The mood of recession has deepened in the global economy for credit crunch in US. Japan market is no exception, stock was underperforming.

This week, one of the most interesting news is Lehman Brothers stock going down more than 40%...

I can not see my holding stocks price. Because it goes down stocks price such as jetcouster.

Depending on the perspective, it's bargain now.

For your information, the picture's bear is when I went to Hard Rock cafe on July, they passed our it for each reservation.

Kiva

This loan is my 4th loan.

I made a loan to "Kosar M. Akram Group" in Pakpattan, Pakistan. I hope to help them succeed.

Entrepreneurs have repayed me little by little. So, I relend to them using it. I guess it's a good cycle.

Demo of Bangkok

I have a schedule business trip to Thailand. But I am not going there now.
Because, there is a demo in Bangkok now. So the company stop business trip.

In fact, I stayed in Thailand, when there is a coups last year. But the area I stayed was very quite.

Got a iPod touch

I got a iPod touch 8GB.

When I went on a trip in July, I lost my iPod nano... So, I bought a iPod touch. Just a years ago, I posted somethings about it.
I put some music and pictures on my new iPod. It's good operability and display.

But I think the keyboard is hard-to-use. But I don't adjust it. So, I'll see how it works.

Passed the oral interview

I passed the admission exam!! Last week, I received the news. I'm so glad!! I become a student in October.

I got an opportunity. It's a big investment in my future.

My friends told me that almost all people that take the admission exam pass. And then it's very hard. Exactly, I think so that too. I haven't done nothing yet.

3 way to become another person

My reading mail magazine said, there are only 3 way to become another person.

1. changing time management
2. changing a place where you live
3. changing people you meet

Most nonsense is to decide. Nothing changes only decide.
Only change concrete your action.

What do you think it?

Passed the documentary examination

I took a briefing session for a MBA in July.　I had 3 concerns in taking classes, but I sent my resume and 3 essays.

Travel Plan

The ticket is limited to a number, but I could taken it to Hiroshima.

I will go back home on Friday evening.

Summer Vacation

I will take summer vacation a week from today. But I don't have a plan, yet. Because, I will go to work a few days during summer vacation. But it was canceled.

If I know to take a week, I would go abroad. Now it's too late. But it's okay. I think that I will take time to learn and go anywhere for a few days.

Have a great summer holiday!!

Maybe Tokyo Tower picture add an effect.

My friend wedding

I went to a wedding for my university friend. Now he is a elementary school teacher. I know his student days very well. So I don't believe, he became a teacher. :P

I met many university friends such as alumni association. I enjoy his wedding and after-party.

And dishes was very nice!! There are Japanese dishes, Chinese and Western!!

Hard Rock Cafe Tokyo

I went to "Hard Rock Cafe Tokyo" with Thai engineers. When I went to business trips at Thailand, I worked with them together.

They want to go to a Japanese restaurant. I know that after I reserved the Hard Rock Cafe. We went to it this time. But they enjoyed some dishes and I enjoyed my time, too.

After enjoyed some dishes, we went to Tokyo tower.

Tokyo Tower

It was very good view on Tokyo Tower. The picture below was taken at main observatory(150m).

There is the special observatory(250m), but it closes at night.

They had a digital camera each, they took a lot of pictures. They said that Tokyo is very beautiful and fun. I'm glad they likes it.

Briefing session for MBA

I went to a briefing session for a MBA on Wednesday.

I heard it, I'm concerned about 3 things.
The 1st, I don't have a background for business administration. Average age of students are late 30s and management class at a company. Can I keep up with classes?
The 2nd, There is a school on the web, so students keep working. If I keep working, Will I have any time for learning?
The 3rd, academic fee.

I thought above all these things today. After that, if I pass an admission exam.
It's my bad habit that I think a lot of things before I start.

Running

I start running last week, because I felt that my body is heavy in recent days.

When I run, I couldn't do it for 10 minutes... I shocked myself.

Passed my certification exam

Last year, I took a class for a problem-solving skill, and I completed it. This time, I passed my certification exam(経営管理指導士 ３級).

Passing the exam was a very happy occasion for me, but it is not the end. I want to do a breakthrough in my life. I think that now I come to the crossroad. I must keep learning.

Shinkansen (新幹線)

I took the Shinkansen for a business trip. It's the bullet train in Japan.
I don't know the details, but it appears to have high technology in Japan.

I often take it for business trips. The picture below I took at Tokyo station.

Nasushiobara city (那須塩原)

I've gone to Nasushobara city for a business trip and I will stay at a hotel for one night. Tommorow, I will go to Mito city.

DREAM.4

I went to DREAM.4 on last Sunday. My brother passed me tickets, because he can't go for to work. I asked my co-worker who he like MMA (mixed martial arts).

The seats were good and good game that almost games knock out. I don't know detail but I enjoyed my time.

The video below is opening-video of this event. I saw on YouTube.

21

I watched '21'. This movie is real story that MIT's students make lots of money...

I've been Las Vegas three times. I lose second times. The third I won little. I almost played blackjack. It was not bad. But I usually lose by one arm bandits that is slots machines.

There aren't casino in Japan. But there are some gambling. Most gambling are bad probability. For example, house raise is about 25% banker's fee. This fee is pretty good for government finance.

My pc broke

My pc broke last week. I bought it about a year ago. I was shocked that I thought that I would used it for about 3 years.

My PC hangup sometime 2 weeks ago. Before it broke, I backuped my necessary data. And when I broke my pc about a years ago, I lose a lots of data. Recently I keep my data on the web.

Before I know it, my life depended internet. For example, learn English, investment, e-mail, to see news, to search information etc.

Joined Kiva

I joined Kiva and I made a loan to "Arubaine Ce Group" in Uganda to expand charcoal business. I hope to help them succeed.

I loan to them because I saw a catch-phrase 'think globally, act locally' on the net. It seems to use environment affairs. Then I've thought what I can to do. And I met Kiva. I would keep this program.
