a fight with English teacher
I fought with my English teacher whom I had been trusting at school. That was so stupid, but I did. .
He was expected to be a good teacher at private lesson. That said, it is difficult to continue our relationship outside of the school and he can be well organized only inside of school.
Basically, I am tolerant and can put up with uncomfortable thing. It was probably the first time in years I had lost my temper.
It is good to think that my teacher at school was different with a person who I met outside of the school. It is great memory that he had a lot of effort to teach me at school.
A fight is a kind of my improvement to proceed next stage.

In landslide, DPJ wins over 300 seats
The Democratic Party of Japan won the Lower House election by a landslide last Sunday, grabbing more than 300 seats in the 480-seat chamber.
To summarize the historic results,
- DPJ gets 308 seats against just 140 for the LDP-New Komeito ruling bloc.(LDP:119)
- Several LDP bigwigs sent down to defeat.
Toshiki Kaifu(former prime minister) /Taku Yamasaki (former LDP vice president) / Shoichi Nakagawa Shoich (former Finance Minister) / Seiich Ohta (former farm minister) → Serves them right!.
- Most of the "Koizumi Children" elected in 2005 on the back of then Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi also got wiped out.
- Incompetent statespersons remain in LDP.
Survivors who regained their seat in proportional representations votes after losing in single-seats:
Nobutaka Machimura/ Yuriko Koike/ Hidenao Nakagawa / Seiko Noda /Sanae Takaichi etc.
Winners: Taro Aso, Shinzo Abe, Yoshiro Mori and Minoru Kiuchi(no party currently)
Above are all right wing politicians. If only they disappeared.
- In Saitama No.4 district, Hideo Jinpu of DP won. But some DP members including Jinpu under Saitama Prefecture governor, Kiyoshi Ueda are famous for wasting our tax. They like making buildings.
I am positive that the historic huge defeat of LDP means that achievement by former prime minister Junihiro Koizumi are completely denied although most nation inconsiderately supported about Koizumi in the last Lower House election 2005 after "postal dissolution".
What caused while Koizumi was prime minister from Apr.2001 to Sep.,2006 .are as follows.
-The growth of GDP: 501 trillion yen →550 trillion yen.
However, 40 trillion yen has decreased at once since last year after Lehman Brothers’ bankruptcy
- Wage of employees : 271trillion yen →266 trillion yen (-1.9%)
- Burden of employees' pension and health insurance: 4 trillion yen increased.
- Tax: 5 trillion increased.
- The rate of non regular employees increased: 27.2% (1st qtr 2001) → 33.2% (1st qtr 2005)
On the contrary,
- Reward of excective officer : increased 85%
- Profit margin of large corporations: increased 52%
The discrepancy between rich and poor people widens.
Fortunately, Koizumi did not run in this election. However, it comes as a surprise that his son ran and won. He should be ashamed of the nepotistic succession.

Japan PM Front-Runner Wants to Promote China Ties
Clip a little bit old article from Dowjones.
First, it is good decision that Hatoyama was absent from Yasukuni Shrine and declared that he will not visit there as Prime Minister.
Yasukuni Shrine is widely viewed as a symbol of Japanese past militarism, enshrine war dead, along with convicted class A war criminals. That is why China and Korea have protested our ministers who visited Yasukuni.
The ministers seem to pray peace at Yasukuni, however, they can not fight the election without the support base from Japan War Bereaved Association who require them to visit there.
In addition to the above behavior, the good point of Hatoyama on this news is to promote China Ties, insisting on acknowledging the past, alluding to Japan's aggression during World War II.
What is more, he said that Japan should stop designing its policies to fit U.S. demands. Koizumi got closer too much to US. I hate it. Japan should be independent from U.S.
Moreover, he wished to establish an EU-style Easy Asian community. Although he could suffer from the gap between ideal and reality, pursuing ideal is must for any politician.
I have not liked Hatoyama so far, such as his policy "love". However, I have a good impression about him on this article.

not so much by what they say as by how they act
From the sociology point of view, we should make sure that it makes a major differences between words and aciton. Judge people not so much by what they say as by how they act.

The first time I felt a pang of conscience
The first time I felt a pang of conscience was when I had an affair. It was before I got married. At that time, I enjoyed with toy boys.
The above is just sample sentence I learned(laugh).

hoping for somthing in return
Ordinary people may well think about hoping for something in return.
I would say that devotion is nothing but an illusion.
If only I could quit the negative way of thinking.
The above are just samples of my learning idioms....

It comes as no surprise
It comes as no surprise that Noriko Sakai has abused stimulant although audience tend to believe her personality through TV monitors, such as the idol singer with cuteness and her acting as honest on the" Gold Coins of Stars ??(星の金貨). I am surprised at Asian people' s surprise rather than the news. They are so pure.
Actually, actor, actress, TV talent and rock singer have a tendency to be something addict such as drug and sex ! To make matter's worse, in case of Noriko Sakai, she has been lying after arrested.

Historic Eclipse
Good news! I could see eclipse of sun incidentally at my office in Tokyo.
To tell the truth, I was not interested in the historic event very much. I felt it strange that my husband insisted " Eclipse is very significant chance for us to know science. People should be more intersted in eclipse!" . I replied in mind "so what?". One of reason I did not have interest is the weather forecast was not good.
However, at noon in 23rd Jul, my coworker screamed " Look! Look! Eclipse is coming!". Everyone gathered tothe window.
" Wow! " The clouds moved, then we could see the partial sun at last. It seemed like Pacman!
On the contrary, although my husband took a day off in order to observe eclipse, he could not. The weather of Saitama was very bad.
Eclipse obscured by lousy weather

Masahiro Yamada Lecture: Gender in Gap Society
I attended lecture meeting "Gender in Gap Society" by Masahiro Yamada who is famous author for "Parasite Single "at Rikkyo University yesterday.
Roughly summarized as follows.
■The law of Realization of Sexual Eaqulity in Society was enforced 20 years ago. The problem is that it was acheaved together with the deregulation of non regular employment.
■In reality, the realization sexual equality was targeted for high educated and skilled women
↓
■As a result of the above, the discrepancy between women widened.
- Recentry, those who want to be a housewife have increased. They are sure to get married with a nice and gentle guy with high salary some day.
- However, in fact, there has been a few men who meet for the above desires after the lifetime employment system were destroyed. In addition, they can still make ends meet without marriage because they are still allowed to live with their parents after reaching adulthood in Japan ,that is so called " Parasite Single", let alone men. That can play a role of social security"parasite single "after .
↓
■ After all, the rate of marriage and birth has been decreased in Japan.
The real gender equality has not realized yet.
I fully agree with his explanation of the situation. However, to tell the truth, I felt " so what?" about his lecture. He is not optimistic about gender equality and the increase of birth rate in future compared with Europe countries.
In my opinion, although that kind of parent's generations who luckily lived through lifetime emplyoment are rich, in next generation, parents will not rich to support their sons and daughters sufficiently
What's more, the employment should be stalilize because depopulating society will come.
Therefore, they will not be able to make ends meet without marriage and the women's working condition should be better.

The change of situation
I have finished TOEIC Test on last Sunday. Next test is in the middle of Sep. So, I will take a brake for the time being.
To tell the truth, I wasexgausted exhausted to study TOEIC. I have been making much of listening part and I listened to it by ipod on the train. Maybe, I got accustomed to the native speed to a certain extent. Anyway, I am free from studying TOEIC!
At last, I found another English school which is suitable for me and applied to enter the school soon after I took the trial lesson. The school provides us with free style of lesson which I can decide. I like it!
My previous school is so luxurious with beautiful interior and convenient on-line booking system that I can feel comfortable. In addition, the staff and teachers are very polite.
On the contrary, my new school is narrow, dirty and analog booking system. Most teachers are not polite and some teacher have ta-too, but they are very frank. The receptionist is very kind.
Everything is different from the previous one but I can feel their personalities clearly and I like it very much. Which means, my previous school provides us with ritual manners.
Anyway, I do my best on the new school with enjoying a few of rest lessons at the previous school.

My resolution
To tell the truth, I splurged on travel expenses during my stay in States. I really regret to some my mistake . Then, I made up my mind to save money, that is, to stop taking a taxi.
My company is located in inconvenient place, being far from station. So, I have often taken taxis whenever I come close to being late.
It would be terrible to calculate the total sum of taxi fees. Therefore, I never calculate it.
I put it into practice as soon as I came back to Japan.
To my surprise, I have been keeping that so far! However, no one never praise me.(laugh).

trouble, travel....
My some trouble during the trip in LA was come close to missing the Lego land tour.
I waked up late at 9:00 am although the departure time is 9:15. As soon as I prepared quickly, I called to the tour agent and asked "Please wait a little bit. I will go to there soon by taxi." "NO! NO! Bus will leave 2 minutes." Oh my god! I was already charged with my credit card.
However, how lucky am I ! They could reschedule and I can participate in the tour next day at last although any refund should not be allowed as usual. I felt as if I was survived.
I can't go through travel without any trouble. Keep cool anytime.
