A Sudden Realisation

2009-07-29T02:43:00.004+09:00

I just realised I can write Japanese... Like... this is the first time I've sat back after writing an essay (I'm actually only half way through) and thought "Yeah. You've made progress on last year, that's for sure. Good job Me."I am now able to express so much in sentences that even sometimes span over 4 lines. Clauses are fantastic! Thank you, John LoBreglio (now we find out if you search your

Japan

2009-06-07T15:20:00.005+09:00

So I`ve been in Japan for almost a year now. I don`t see myself writing in this blog any time soon so I thought I`d give a quick update...I spend all of my time playing Jubeat now (refer to the sidebar stuff) -- I`m getting married this month on the 29th, and if I can get away with it I won`t be going back to Brookes to graduate this year. I hope to put my education on hold for at least a year.

And so the weather became colder

And so the weather became colder, originally uploaded by Datael.Epic weather the other night! I couldn't believe my eyes when is saw that I had actually managed to capture an image of this fork right over the buildings I like to eat at!

Here goes nothing

2008-08-18T18:16:00.001+09:00

I’m now embarking on the journey that I have waited for throughout the entirety of recent memory. I’m moving to Japan for my year abroad.Waving goodbye to Mum and Embla made it really hit me that I won’t be back here in England officially for the next year. Usually when I go to Japan it’s for a holiday. Now when I go to England it will be the holiday. It’s a very odd feeling indeed and something

Something you need to see

2008-08-10T18:29:00.003+09:00

I'm back in England... Back in Cornwall, in fact. I've got one last week here before I go to Japan for the year. I'm looking forward to it and also not at the same time. I'm sure the reasons for both are obvious.I found a Facebook group with some of the students who will be doing a year at Obirin like me and Nat this year and was looking through the discussion boards when I found that someone had

やっと、やっとアパート探しが終わって、ちゃんとリラックスことはできる！只今はコインランドリーでインターネットを使ってるけど、洗濯がもうすぐ終わるからこれはちょっとだけのアップデート。三日間大阪に行け、京都にも行った。結構きれいな場所で嬉しかった。ありがとう、咲！今日は弟と相模女子高等部でイギリスに来た学生たちに会いに行く！夜は渋谷でハチ公の出口のへんで遊ぶつもり。８月４日はまたイギリスに戻って、査証とかの準備しなきゃ。また後で写真をうpする！Finally I`ve found an apartment and now I can relax!Right now I`m in the coin laundry waiting for it to finish so I`ve gotta be quick; not long until it finishes now.We went to

Well this is pretty fucking cool!

I'm in McDonald's, sat on my laptop, eating a Megamac! Fuckyeah!It's 3 pounds a month to use the net here in any McDonald's and a tonne of other places too! I can't believe it! This'll mean, also, that I'm not going to go crazy from lack of internets when I move into my apartment! Huzzah!

So that's the apartment that, assuming all goes well, I'll be moving into! Yay!Just gotta sign the contract on Monday and then I move in on Tuesday! *crosses fingers*(It's the building to the right of the picture. Third floor (In Japanese floors; 2nd floor in English) number twooooo!!)無事に入れるように☆

What an interesting development!

2008-07-08T20:24:00.005+09:00

Well this is an interesting development!After visiting the University I was introduced by Nakamura Fumitake to the University’s housing company. They recommend other companies to students who are looking for apartments and by that they were able to make things a little cheaper for me.I have already called and cancelled the rental I originally planned to go with with Housecom and have made up a

Visiting Obirin Today!

2008-07-08T20:18:00.003+09:00

I am currently writing this on the train travelling to Fuchinobe to go to Obirin to meet with the person in charge of the year abroad. I’m sat in coach 7 near the front (sat down!!) between a guy who is studying electronics and a woman with a Takashimaya bag. Across from me I keep getting dirty looks shot at me by a man and his wife. Oddly this guy looks like one of the nice Japanese, rather than

夜の空 The Sky at Night

2008-06-24T08:57:00.006+09:00
So... today, after a flustered call to the 24/7 online banking after finding something wrong with my account (it turns out nothing was wrong afterall), I found myself outside looking up at the sky trying to calm down... I realised that Cornwall is so much more tranquil than Oxford. I was staring up at the sky and it hit me how strikingly beautiful the stars look here...Oh, god listen to me

It is time!

2008-06-22T07:45:00.003+09:00
Well I haven`t been here in a while, have I?I`ve been so busy these last couple of months that I`ve not really had time or the energy to write on my blog.Today, however, is different. I`ve gotta go to sleep soon and the only thing that I want to do is to play Eve, however I know that if I do I`ll be up until the small hours of the morning and I won`t sleep enough to go home tomorrow.I`ve finished

There`s something nice about being able to just dump pictures onto here now. I hope you`re all ready for the flood of pictures I plan to be sending up here as I take them! Although Picasa2 is a memory hog and a bit too shiny for its own good I do like being able to directly upload to my blog and to the Google WebAlbums... It would be nice if they added an "Upload to Facebook" option, though...

As with all of my long posts, I`m not going to read through this after I`ve written it; I`m just going to let it all appear on the page, and see what happens.Before I start I don`t want sympathy from people. I`m just writing this to get some feelings down on paper to hopefully help me get my head around things. If people look at this as

Redundancy

Grrrrrrr!(This means I'm angry...)Got redundant data? These people sure have!My mum tasked me this evening with rescuing data from some third-party car management program with nearly 10,000 records of REDUNDANT DATA! I swear half of the 14megs of this database was unnecessary. The database itself had over 15 tables and I found all of the data in one. There were no relationships between the tables

I shouldn't link to it in case I'm found to be in breach of copyright or whatever.Wani Wani World, or Crocodile World, is the single most awesome game on Earth. Ever. I've loved it since I was about 5 years old and Riley and I have now played through it for our second time. If you have an emulator try

Those of you who are heavy users of what has to have been the mainstay of my Japanese studies since I started at Brookes might not already been aware that Kantango is dead. A rather unhelpful SQL problem has left the page inaccessible.

I found it was really easy to just take people's photographs because I had an SLR in my hands... I loved it xDJoking aside, though, I did really enjoy taking the photos at the Filipino Society's event and I think I might well do it again in the future... I hope everyone likes the

Some thoughts on my future

2007-09-04T02:57:00.000+09:00
Recent events have prompted me to take a more serious look at my life. I'm sure most of the people who read this blog know that I am engaged to a Japanese girl and I'm sure everyone knows that I want to move to Japan. What most people don't know is what I want to do in Japan. To be honest I don't even know myself what I want to do.I've spent the last 3 weeks in Japan doing not much. It certainly

These last few days have been nothing short of tiring. The students this year were far, far, far more quick to become friendly. I'm thinking that maybe this mid-week arrival is actually a good thing. It meant that the Barbecue with the ATC folks was on one of their first days and that is usually their "opening up" day. It's usually close to the second weekend so there's a lot of time to be made

I've taken the plunge and signed up on Stickam.com purely for webcam-on-my-blog functionality. It's a nice touch they've got on that site, actually...So, if I'm online you'll be able to watch me! Isn't that exciting!ブログの右側に新しいウィジェットが付けてる。Stickam.comのサイトでサインアップしたから僕が

Third Post of the Hour

2007-06-25T00:12:00.000+09:00
Heh this is my third post in the last ten minutes or so. I'm enjoying this.Anyway, to the point:This is external temperature.

Best. Sandwiches. Ever.

YES!...they even have free WiFi!

アフロあひるんコーヒー Afro-Duck Coffee

2007-06-25T00:00:00.000+09:00
Hehe my coffee looks like a duck with a person's face with an afro xDあひるん見えるんでしょー！！ｘＤ(For those of you 'in the know' it looks a little like one of /b/'s Habbo Hotel guys, amirite? ...with a duck's body, that is ¬_¬)(Don't ask me to explain if you don't know about it. It's not too hard to find out what I'm talking about ^_^)

It's so warm!

2007-06-23T23:49:00.000+09:00
No joke, last night it was 85 Fahrenheit... that's 30 Centigrade... at ONE IN THE MORNING! What the hell is with that?! The heat here is relentless, although awesome. Like, if I want to get a suntan I need only to sit outside for an hour and I'm all set *grin*Although at one in the morning Wendy's is open. My word, their triple-burgers are to die for *drool*Turns out that my Wii doesn't work here

Different day, different state...

2007-06-22T01:46:00.000+09:00
Not of mind, but physical location. Today I wake up in Florida. We flew over yesteday afternoon. It's so damn hot D:Like I kid you not it's boiling here. At least 30 degrees... And humid to boot.We flew over yesterday afternoon, Philipp and I made a little too much noise on the journey, though, I fear... We played Tetris for about an hour, then sat there giggling at Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu.....

Haaaaa??

2007-06-20T11:41:00.000+09:00
Well apparently today we walked like 6 miles (-_-;I hate it when I realise I've actually put effort into a day *grin*Today has been awesome. Philipp and I basically wandered around doing nothing in particular. We walked to go and get lunch and then came home. After that we decided to trek to the Beverly Center to see if we could find a cable for my Wii. Oh yeah. Why does no American know what

アメリカに着いたぢょー！ Arrived in America!

2007-06-19T14:17:00.000+09:00
Just a quick update. I arrived at Dad's earlier this afternoon. I'm going to sleep soon because I'm so tired (-_-;ちょっといきなり書いてるんだけど。やっと、今日の昼に父に久しぶりに会えた。しかし、眠いからもうそろそろ寝ます。(T￢T)/~~~サヨナラ・・・オヤスミナサイ・・

アメリカ旅行 Off to America

2007-06-17T20:28:00.000+09:00
Today I leave Penzance on the bus at 8.20 to go to Heathrow for my flight to my Dad's house. I arrive in London at 5am. My flight is at 11.20-something. 6 Hour wait in Heathrow. Buses are totally fail, I tell you...今日バスに乗ってペンザンスから出たり。夜８時２０分。ヒースローに着いたり。朝６時。フライトを待つ。朝１１時２０分くらい。ヒースローで待つのは６時間。楽しみにしていることなんてないのー。バス嫌い。The journey (albeit with my grandparents, so I'll have someone to talk to) will be 11

It's early. I'm so tired. (-_-;早い。超眠い・・・

There's a storm brewing...

2007-06-15T08:07:00.001+09:00
I can feel it in my bones...And I can also see the flashes outside my window.Weather is cool.

Marc's dog is like a sheeps

2007-06-14T04:46:00.000+09:00
I just got home after having helped Marc chase his dog (who seems to act more like a sheep) and to herd him back to Marc's house xDSo here's the current state of my hair. I hope you like the Myspace-style picture. I still don't have one, by the way, and I never will :P (a Myspace, that is...)After taking that picture I decided I would play with the camera and I got this snazzy picture that

I swear to god I did NOT fix this...

髪切った！ Haircut!

2007-06-13T07:31:00.000+09:00
Hmm... I kinda accidentally got a haircut like Major from Ghost in the Shell.I have, like, dog-ears or something =/ Although they're not quite as puffy-outy as the Major's. LOL xDI'll post a pic or something when I'm not looking too dreadfully tired...

Just a Quick Update...

2007-06-11T19:07:00.000+09:00
OK I'm sorry I know I haven't updated in ages. I've got lots to write but that's exactly why I haven't written it yet. I'm being quite lazy ¬_¬I'll try and get some more real stuff up this evening :PHere's some Youtube to keep you happy (yes more TV adverts but the song is catchy):♪Ahirunrun Ahirunrun♪

助けて！僕はにんにくの臭いがしてる！Helps I am smell of the garlicks!

Uwao. Headache! Is it possible to die from too much garlic? I hope not LOL頭痛～！にんにく食べ過ぎたら死んじゃうかなー？死なないといい・・・（笑）I had like 6 Pak-Chois cooked in Oyster Sauce and a crapload of garlic. Like at least a whole one and a half galics (not that I don't mean cloves there, I mean full bulbs), or maybe even more...白菜を六個作ったり、オイスターソースとにんにくと一緒に作った。にんにくすっごく入れた。今すっっごいにんにくの臭いがしているんだけど。どうしよう。。。ヾ(≧へ≦)〃

2007-06-06T04:33:00.000+09:00
Well today has simply been wonderful! I met up with Marc, Tom and Jonny and we all went to Jeepers to go on the Go-Karts (pictures to follow... They're transferring from Marc now... You can have one of the weather for now, though!)Pretty nice, huh? It's days like this that make me appreciate living in Cornwall. It's kind of an odd feeling, actually: I spent so long here not really being able to

What is this crap?!

2007-06-06T02:31:00.000+09:00
'scuse me WHAT?I've just been shown the 2012 Olympic Logo. Oh so that's what cost so many million pounds to make. I understand why this country is failing so badly at everything now: We're wasting money on RUBBISH!BTW the animation isn't officially there. But you all know what it looks like ¬_¬

皆ありがとう Thank you, everyone

2007-06-02T05:47:00.000+09:00
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been reading my blog. It makes me happy to think that people would be taking an interest into the rubbish that I write on here, and the more I see people visiting the more I feel I should write.ちょっと書きたかったけど、これは皆に僕のブログについてのお知らせである。最近読み込んだページ数は上げました。すごく↑↑した。毎月１００アクセスずつ増えていった。僕が書いたものを読みたい人が居るのはすごく嬉しいことだよ！Unique visits have gone up by 100 per month

一番キレイな撮った写真 The best picture I've ever taken

2007-05-29T20:30:00.000+09:00
OK I shit you not. I actually took this picture myself with my mobile phone. It was a bit of an experimental shot so I didn't expect it to come out anywhere near as well as this but I'm so pleased with this picture!Please click on it to make it full size. Lol I can't believe I've actually reacted to this picture like this. I never react to pictures like this =/Personally I think that this makes a

Simple things...

2007-05-27T20:39:00.000+09:00
OK so most people will think this is lame, but I love it! I just filled up my mobile with Pokémon ringtones! Every time I plug my phone into the PC now, when it starts to sync is plays the tune from the Pokécentre when the Pokémans get healed! Dannn dan dandan daaaaaaaan! \o/Also included are battle music for people phoning me, a "zomg it evolved" tune for an email and, what else? Text messages

GBP/YEN

2007-05-27T01:19:00.000+09:00
Things are currently looking up for our holiday to Japan. This is a dynamic image so those of you who will be going to Japan soon can keep a tab on how everything is looking. From a British holiday-maker's perspective higher on the graph is better. It looks like it's soon going to be time to start investing in the Yen, don't you think?

Vista isn't so bad...

2007-05-26T23:22:00.000+09:00
I was speaking to my cousin the other day and I realised that most people have the idea that Vista (the new Windows, for those of you who don't know) is really, really bad. I really wish that this record could be set straight because the truth of it is is that Vista is actually really, really, really good. (Notice there's three 'really's for the good one...)In three months the Operating System

My poor, poor phonebook...

2007-05-25T21:29:00.000+09:00
God damnit! I installed Live Messenger onto my phone this morning and it's pissed up my phone book a right job!What was once a perfectly arranged, grouped, pictured, profiled, noted phonebook is now strewn with random MSN contacts with whom I no longer speak, out of date emails and non-named contacts about whom I have no clues. Who are these people?! Why do I have so many people I don't know on

Tidy, tidy, tidy

2007-05-24T10:04:00.001+09:00
Yay, look what I did! Tidy tidy tidy... I think that's pretty much every album on my computer with album art, and if it's an incomplete album I threw it out ¬_¬ Yay, tidy, tidy!PS... Yes I was bored tonight...

Latest achievement on DDR

2007-05-23T08:39:00.000+09:00
I was SOOO close today to getting this song to an AA but I just screwed it up at the end >_<; I think this is my highest combo on one of the boss levels (8,9 or 10 out of 10 difficulty) to date so I figured I should post this image of the score on the screen. I took it quickly with my phone so I'm not so sure that the quality is very amazing or anything but you can see the combo score that I got

Broken car

2007-05-22T23:12:00.000+09:00
My car isn't working :( What a fail... The petrol seems to have fallen out the engine. It should be at least at a quarter...

DSのポケモンは３D!?! DS Pokémans are 3D!?!

2007-05-20T19:09:00.000+09:00
OK so I was aware that Pokémon is now running on a 3D engine since its port to the DS, and when you're walking around this is quite apparent since the buildings are moving like you're playing GTA1 or something, but when I entered the first gym check out what I saw:これを見たら本当に信じられなかった。ゲームの歩きモードが全部３Dになった！ちょっとグランド・セフト・オートの感じけど。Isn't that frigging awesome?!? OK so not amazing: I already knew it was

This will be my last blog entry as a resident of Cotuit Hall. This is just a short message to say thank you to everyone who has made it into such a great year for me. No more Pullen's Lane to walk down any more, though!!このブログは僕がコチュイットに住む時代の最後でございます。このメッセージで皆に「本当に本当にありがとうございます。今年は本当に楽しかった。」って言いたいメッセージです。ありがとう。
