26th
Ha-ha, I seem to get sleepy at last...thanks to beer.

I bought a scanner and new software to make web pages today.
It's very difficult......the manual is so thick that one may be able to hit and kill someone with it...
After all, I have not yet mastered the one that I've used till now...is it my habit?
But I intend to make better web pages, so I'll do my best; I've already checked some of the functions,
and I found that it has compatibility; it may be good.
I bought also a scanner; it's not for inputting photos and so on; I'd rather like to put various books in the computer.
But is it really possible? ...or will I really do it? w

Yes, after all, I couldn't sleep last night, and I stayed up until this morning, and I was asleep in the daytime.
And when I woke up, it was already night......I cannot get to sleep of course...it's OK; there is no need to sleep when one is not sleepy.
One sleeps because one feels sleepy.

Well, I'll go to bed.

Oh, yes, I like tea (of Taiwan) these days, and I drink it all day.
It may have caused my insomnia.

OK, I'll go to bed. Really.


25th
Good morning.

But I didn't sleep.
Because I just couldn't get to sleep.
Well, I have had insomnia often recently; why?
Do I think too many things? And, I have not had exercise very much.
When the body is not tired, it may be difficult to fall asleep.

It has got quite warm and cherries are coming into blossom; spring has come.

I think also these days that we are just born in this era, at this time,
at this place, in this environment and in this country; the colours and the ideas
given by them are peculiar to this time.

If one had been born 1000 years earlier, one would have thought that the colours, the place, the country and the custom at that time would have been
natural and ordinary; one's mind and heart would have thought like this...

I mean......well, it's meaningless, isn't it? Or, how shall I explain it?

If one find something strange in countries here and there,
one will sometimes say "huh!!!", "oh!!!", "nonsense!!!!",
"unbelievable!!!", "it's provincial" or the like, and burst out laughing because of the funniness
or look down on it.

But on the contrary, people in another country may think of one's country in the same way.

I did not mean one of them is good or bad; I mean there isn't such a distinction.
The custom itself told in one's own country is temporary.

Now we can tell that much of the custom of hundreds years ago has already changed, therefore
the common sense that we think "yes, that's right" may be different 50 years later
and it may be entirely different also 100 years later...well, one will not live such a long time.

Well, what do I mean...? I mean:
Be free...

Ha-ha.

Time always passes.
Just as Sakyamuni said "everything is uncertain"; well, the only "certain" thing that may be eternal is
the change itself, isn't it?

What is Taiwanese? What is Japanese? What is Korean?
One is Japanese if one is born here now; if one had been born 1000 years earlier, then one would have been Japanese;
if one had been born 5000 years earlier......which country would one have belonged to...? What are the criteria for judging the nationality?
If Japan will be occupied by China, Korea or Taiwan 500 years later, will one born here still be
Japanese? And how about 1000 years later?

People in these countries originally drifted from various places.
Why do they emphasise the honour of the country? Is it because they are proud of it?
What is pride?

Be yourself, everyone.

What is oneself?

Ha-ha.

I've written quite long...indeed, I cannot fall asleep because I do nothing but think about such a thing.

Don, I haven't seen you for a long time, It was a pleasure to be with you.
I'm sorry that I got drunk, ha-ha.
And Mr. Orange...thank you for always treating us a drink. Is it OK that you deduct our drinking money as a necessary expenditure of the company? ^^;
Let's drink together some other time.


17th
Grrr!!

......

Umm, I have not written my diary for a long time.
Er, to tell the truth, there was a reason for it; how can I explain it?

After reading my diary, some Asian abnormal journalists especially of Hong Kong
reported something groundless with their imagination;
it annoyed me a little. Why did they choose especially the part of diarrhoea...?
(I have to add a sentence to avoid someone complaining to me: there are also conscientious journalists.)

So, I was at a loss whether to abandon it or not.
Well, I don't want trouble my office staff.

So, I have not written it...do you understand?

Well, I will ignore someone abnormal anyway,
When Mr Yana and I were eating Chinese noodles the day before yesterday, an abnormal-looking taciturn lewd nitwit (is it overstated? w) sat next to us,
and I don't know if he thought no one paid attention to him, but he took a picture of my face with a cellular phone with camera.

Ignore it, ignore it...

But because of such a guy like you, I get tired of going out. Bah...no...Phooey!

Well, it cannot be helped.

Whew, I stop complaining now.

Well, what shall I talk about? Then am I talking to my fans after all...? (Enigma)
It doesn't matter.
I'm just talking about something in my mind anyway.

I intend to quit UO, but I know I cannot quit it. Ugh.
A new server will be set up; let's enter the naming contest of the new server quickly.
Moreover TD will come out at the same time...

I want...a kirin and an unicorn!!!
I just chat with guild members when I play it these days; how shall I explain it? I don't have a passion for it;
I just cannot quit it.

I will start my work soon, ha-ha.

Well, I intend to do odd work in a good meaning.

We will have a small party at home with team members in Taipei;
the main dish will be esoteric roast pork of my home...heh-heh, it should be delicious, extremely; you will drip tears and mouth water at the same time. (It's true.)
If you have hey fever, you might also drip snivel.

Here is the sauce of roast pork; anyone can make such roast pork only with it.
I will sell it at 10000 yen per 50 cc. (It's false.)

Good-bye!

Ah, yes, yes, yes, it was White Day...well, what's this? w
I heard that they gave candies before,
but they should give a bag of Prada at the minimum these days... w

I think:
Japanese people think basically nothing of having an affair.
Because they have a custom to give chocolates or candies to anyone in a sense of obligation besides to their real love.
I rather think it's not related to etiquette; it's only for lovers, isn't it?
They are flirts and playboys. Yes.
Me too. (Enigma)
