Incubus of sudden phone call I got last night. And I think this will be the last post for this URL. ~ At 19:19, I was in a hurry just finished translating texts to submit it to the monthly contest. When I started to examine the composition, my cellphone rang. It was from the one - firstly threw me into the world of blog. To break the conversation short, I spoke to her all in Japanese - never in English. It was nothing but a self-will persecution complex. During the short absurd argument, I told her never to call me again to end up the conversation, and disconnected. I just wanted to escape from her sexial-business involvement and cheating. However, her call came to my keitai again, and so I simply powered it off for going back to work. How disturbing and senseless. After sending my entry to the contest office, I forbade the number to block its connection. 着信拒否設定 is quite well-adjusted to Japanese society now, for the better or the worse. ~ Anyway. Making the long story short, I met her through email-magazine's forum. Firstly it was hosted by まぐまぐ, but now the registration of issue is missing - as I expected. In the end of 2004, she asked me to translate her arranged book of British sweets by email. At that time we're in good relationship, and so I accepted. Things are gradually changing by the coming of 2005. In January, I was surprised to hear about her sudden divorce with (ex-)Japanese husband Mr K by email and blog's post. Because some of my relative experienced a hard divorce and redeemed single mom's honor in the past, I really felt for her misery. ...I must admit my English was poorer at that time. Just by a glance, I can see how crazy this show was for now. It's so hard to understand why a human can brandish such a blade to win others over. Crabs? I don't need such third-rate friendship. Human is not a belonging or stuff to show-off. ~ As I wrote about in previous post, I sent consultation offerings to several organization by email, in several times. But it seems to be a real crap to deal, 'cause such harrassment seems helpless even though the web-justice I asked. So much alike in every modus operandi. Following to the study case, I dare to fight back now. Shut your frigging mouth and stop annoying others, Joolie. There's no loophole already, everyone's watching. My friend who you met at Tokyo in March (This is the most regrettable and sad unfoldment, but we do remember the meeting. I'm sure she can witness for me, 'cause she's one of my best friends from the school). ~ How sad. Do you wanna stay false to keep your majestic reign to every other human being?! Can't stand it. Such conduct is beneath you. Keep your own way, I just throw up my hands and go on with my own work. Nothing more to say. Rant and rave over, good-bye. ~ Extremis malis extrema remedia ---and I'm not a doctor or therapist, at all.
Today's photo news just made me chuckle. Niigata upfront! Yay I admire delicious food product and cultural tradition in my prefecture, as well as I'm interested in outward exotica.
addition: heard a rumor and seems to be true. iPod's surface = made in Sanjo, Niigata Here's somewhat a country of crafts and creation I suppose...to get over a long, cold wintertime with fun.
I don't know why the error's happening to the left. Umm.
1) Audition of newly-released music. Listening booth @ record shop is best, but it's also nice to try them online. My amazon.co.jp wishlist here. I simply add and keep them for future reference, to remember + buy 'em myself when I can afford to order. Check if you interested.
2) Reading. Part of my work and own pleasure. I love the atmosphere of bookshops and libraries. Mountains of good stories make me excited and happy.
3) Watching movies. Mostly by renting videos/DVDs, but theater screen is dynamic and the best. I'm interested in what others think and live their lives, greatly. That'll be my eternal investigation through my life.
Finally...released from pre-test strain. Today I took TOEIC® from noon, the regulation was utterly strict. Especially, I was taken aback by newly added rules to prevent troubles like cheating or unfairness. Here I report some of them:
------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------------- ---------------- No marks of any kind should be made in the test books. Educational Testing Service(ETS), developer of the TOEIC test, considers any marking of test books to be a form of cheating. Warnings will be given if you are caught making notes in a test book.
= It was OK last time I took the test...why suddenly?
Test proctors will make rounds of the test room to confirm that optimal testing conditions are maintained and that all examinees comply with the instructions and warnings.
= Because of strong air-conditioning for rainy Sunday in mid-September, the venue was chilly cold. It was annoying...
Please limit noise that may disturb other examinees. If you do not feel well, please ask a member of our staff for assistance before the test starts. Certain noises are unavoidable during the test, such as those associated with turning of test book pages and movement of test proctors. Even if a noise does occur during the listening portion of the test, the affected questions will not be repeated. The testing time will also not be altered if a noise occurs during the reading section. - = These two instructions...seem quite paradox.
Refer to the examinee guide for other warnings and instructions. Failing to follow test-proctor and/or printed instructions may result in (1) your answer sheet not being scored (2) dismissal from the test site, and/or (3)refusal of future test applications.
We would like to thank you for your understanding and cooperation so that all examinees will have equal opportunity to maximize their test performance. Feel free to ask a member of our staff if you have any questions.
Stoicism, or double-standard for maintaining so-called the very best conditions...? Anyway, I'm quite weariful of these usual fastidiousness happen in my country, in honest. That gets examinees too nervous or tensive in test captivity. In reality, almost no one speak or ask questions - as long as I remember.
Thanks to reading various kinds of blogs, responding emails in English, etc. in past months, I could solve the problems more easier than before. Yes, this is my new way of learning live words - quite innovative. And in my classic case, I spent last 10 minutes falling on my face on the desk to sleep...just the same as my highschool age. I wasn't a top student at all. Always a latecomer for morning assembly, in practice. Viva freemason! :) Event organizing is my knack I learned in the past.
PS I watched Bakuten last night, just to relax...but hey, the program was too funny that almost killing me with laughter! All is relative, ridiculously.
Yes, it's a matter of chivalry, intelligence and humor.
Cowards just grumbling 'bout me on their own consumption, and I really don't take such kind of ****** criticism.
And what makes the matter worse, they're having no ears toward others just to feel as if they're the coolest or something of #1 - at any time. That's the most disgusting point I see in many introverted people. Bloggers seems to be sorted into 2 certain types, according to survey: a) simply loves communication through anything, either in actual or not. b) weak in actual conversation and express their feelings by writing.
------------------------- ------------------------- ------------------- news: Nicole is back and we're not much as green as celebrity, as you can see in our scripts. Hooray.
PS Having something to ask or say? For the ones in my contact list, let me know by any ways. Skype is already done, I'm such a lump of curiosity...
