Someday lucky, someday not. Someday happy, someday not. A serious student try getting good scores in the graduate school and an ideal job in the future. Please give me a hand, New Yorker!Mangoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17558420168638409170noreply@blogger.comBlogger17125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779380356138967042.post-15293009443497711982012-02-10T12:34:00.000-05:002012-02-10T12:34:21.462-05:00Medical cost is fair for everyone.I watched the TV program that showed super obese women.<br />
Like, their belly were down to knees and no more human being shapes.<br />
But surprisingly, they insisted that they were beautiful and healthy.<br />
The host of the show, seemed to be a doctor, couldn't keep talking<br />
because they were too confident to realize they were wrong...<br />
<br />
Center of their life may be food.<br />
Bacon, Egg, Cheese oily sandwiches are breakfast,<br />
then Chips and Cup cakes before lunch<br />
big Mexican food for lunch<br />
then a slice of Pizza for snack<br />
Hamburger and FF are for dinner<br />
Cakes and Chips before sleeping with Beer...<br />
And of course, Sodas are with all food...<br />
<br />
They are extraordinary<br />
but many "still human shape" obese people are the same.<br />
I'm surprised how rich they are.<br />
If they have a time even a little bit<br />
such as short break in the class or waiting for ferry,<br />
they buy snacks and a bottle of soda...it costs like $3?<br />
And when they do that twice in a day it goes to $6.<br />
Plus, 3 times meal. (I'm sure not only 3 times though)<br />
If they drink beer and smoke cigarette,<br />
They can spend $40-$50 in a day only for food and beverages!<br />
<br />
$40 x 30days = $1,200/month LOL<br />
<br />
And I can imagine that people who live like this claim<br />
that "we cannot buy healthy food, because it is expensive".<br />
Then they go to hospital because of heart attack.<br />
They need to use wheel chairs in stead of walking.<br />
<br />
Insurance?<br />
They may not have enough income to buy good coverage.<br />
Who pays for that medical cost?<br />
<br />
People, who keep their body healthy,<br />
pay for insurance, gym for exercise, supplements and natural foods.<br />
They tend to work hard, eat suitable amount, and sleep well.<br />
Of course, they do not smoke or drink too much.<br />
I guess $1,200/month is enough for their normal cost of food and some beverages , too.<br />
<br />
Is it fair if medical services are almost equal to those different people?<br />
<br />
Well...I'm super poor now.<br />
I don't think I spend that much money, $1,200<br />
including my rent...ouch!<br />
Cooking rice and light taste foods are good enough.<br />
$5 Subway Footlong is for two times meal.<br />
$5.50 Chinese lunch combo with wonton soup is for three times meal.<br />
Never drink sodas...thanks to my taste.<br />
And then, finally, I can spend extra money for some martini at the bar!<br />
Cost friendly and health friendly.Mangoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17558420168638409170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779380356138967042.post-87091166181161713462012-01-30T11:20:00.001-05:002012-01-30T11:30:30.882-05:00I love here and listen to Martha Wainwright.First, I need to explain that I don't mean I dislike Japan.<br />
I love Japanese sensitivity and beauty. I swear.<br />
But, avoiding being one of the group means death in Japan.<br />
I think many people feel fear to be alone or to do something alone.<br />
Of course it is easy to lean against something big and trust it.<br />
I sometimes feel it is a religion of Japan, too.<br />
Something invisible called "MAJORITY" do brainwash Japanese, like<br />
"You gotta love it, because it saves you without doubt".<br />
And it harms your nature and personality, who you are and what you really want.<br />
Becoming robots is the way to live there.<br />
<br />
I really feel I'm alive and a part of the world when I'm in NY.<br />
It means I have to think everything carefully and do by myself with my own decision.<br />
Losing identity means death in NY. Everyone is struggling to live.<br />
That is why I have visited here almost every year since 23,<br />
and it must be my birthday time.<br />
To re-realize I'm nothing in the world, but I exist.<br />
Everyone has uniqueness and is proud of it.<br />
<br />
There are some people who don't know moral and ethics.<br />
They don't care what the others feel about it.<br />
Throwing garbage and spitting everywhere.<br />
Openly blaming and attacking someone.<br />
Unfortunately they do.<br />
<br />
On the hand, there are some others who sincerely help people.<br />
Talking to strangers to make them happy with giving a nice smile.<br />
Hugging warmly, telling useful information in need.<br />
Saying NO to wrong ideas, covering the weak up.<br />
<br />
Yes, they are simple. They don't make things complicated.<br />
Showing "This is what I want, that is why I do it".<br />

I know, it must be harder than General course...no choice but to make me motivated.<br />
No idea, why I'm excited to study Finance.<br />
I'm not good at numbers at all.<br />
Numbers also don't like me.<br />
But now, it's the time to shake hands.<br />
<br />

<br />
It was heavy snowing in this morning but there were classes.<br />
From 8:30 am. Took 7:00am boat. How nasty it was.<br />
But I didn't care, because I like those classes,<br />
Finance and Statistics. I had missed them.<br />
<br />
<i>Oh no I said too much -M.S-</i><br />
<br />
When I took a basic accounting course,<br />
the professor was so bad to handle with students,<br />
yes, because they were like kids... didn't buy the text book,<br />
always let the professor make copy after the class<br />
only for the pages to know the homework... and complained like " I don't understand,"<br />
...well, to understand the class, first, buy the textbook and read it...<br />
The professor didn't tell like that, either... some classmates and I couldn't believe<b> </b>the situation.<br />
That's why, the professor used only 3 chapters from the text book that had 1,200 pages...<br />
could not finish what she had to teach us at all....<br />
<br />
And the professor, who became a china attacker last time, said<br />
"It's very basic issue and too easy for masters, so skip those sections..." in today's class.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Professor.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: xx-small;"><b>: ) Proooooof I'm here</b></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
You are the same parson, I know.<br />
<br />
You did not teach me those.<br />
<br />
The other classmates seem to have taken those classes when they were undergrad students,<br />
but for me, your basic course was everything.<br />
<br />
How can I know that?<br />
<br />
Ok, I will start from the accounting again...<br />
need to pull out the text book from somewhere in my room.<br />
<br />
See? Finance is exciting!Mangoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17558420168638409170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779380356138967042.post-82472183079814547102012-01-16T09:24:00.000-05:002012-01-16T09:24:46.908-05:00Runaway ProfessorMy finance class starts from 8:30am on Saturday.<br />
Even though I have to take 6:30am boat, I have no complain,<br />
because I like the atmosphere of Bronx classes.<br />
Most of the students are US citizens and full time workers in week days.<br />
That is why they have some knowledge about working environment and give it in the class.<br />
As for money, US people know how their money to relate their life cycle.<br />
They use cards, both debit and credit, and check than cash.<br />
Moreover, they need to do insurance and tax processes by themselves.<br />
Plus, many of them buy stocks for investing.<br />
Japanese usually don't have those knowledge that much.<br />
We don't have to worry about it because cash and saving culture make us safer<br />
and companies solve those troublesome automatically without cheating.<br />
So, the class skips some obvious topics, such as explanation of basic words.<br />
Me? I need to learn EVERYTHING from scratch...It's tough but also exciting :)<br />
<br />
And professor is a key, too. I took her class before and liked it.<br />
She is from Hong Kong, and has a unique accent in her English...and she knows it.<br />
<span style="color: red;">(Please do not mention about my English now...)</span><br />
But we are not able to say her English has Chinese accent.<br />
In last class, she started talking about bonds, and gave us example of China.<br />
And then, talked about China so much...<br />
<br />
It began from their disbelief points of bonds, and then went to somewhere else.<br />
<br />
"China doesn't have human right, they just keep a baby boy in the family<br />
and send baby girls to somewhere without registration in the country."<br />
<br />
(<span style="color: red;">Yeah, I know... oh, some students seem not to know it...</span>)<br />
<br />
"If you pursue freedom, you can be killed easily!! "<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">(Right, and you can ask for someone to kill someone, cost only $300...</span>)<br />
<br />
"When someone say if I am from China, I say NO! I'm from Hong Kong!<br />
I don't want to be mixed up with such a low level people!!"<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">...Professor? </span><br />
<br />
"You know what? Chinese send young women to US and let them get married<br />
with old US guys to get citizenship, and then back to China. Shameless!"<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">...Professor? What's wrong with you?</span><br />
<br />
"There is the fake marriage business here!<br />
Don't talk to an old man and a young Asian girl when they are together,<br />
he isn't her grandfather, that is a fake marriage couple through agency!!!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Professor LOL Where is the FINANCE class???</span><br />
<br />
Anyway, I enjoyed it.Mangoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17558420168638409170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779380356138967042.post-46511426022906651762012-01-13T01:19:00.003-05:002012-01-13T01:31:13.243-05:00Where is your answer going?<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm not a good speaker as I mentioned before.</span><br />
<div>Plus, my English level is not good enough to take graduate course, honestly.</div><div>That is why I need to take time to study and practice more than the other students...</div><div><br />
</div><div>But, I can answer the question to assignments somehow.</div><div>Moreover, I learned how to write a paper in academic way during the last semester well.</div><div>It is completely different from the solution in business way.</div><div>When you work, you need to output the idea by using theory, experience, data, etc...</div><div>and summarizing in it your mind first. </div><div>The output must be simplified to be explained and implemented with getting the point.</div><div>But in academic way, you have to explain </div><div>what you learned from text books and lectures one by one for papers.</div><div>Giving the definition of the words that you use in the paper, </div><div>building the discussion and then applying the case or questions are required.</div><div><br />
</div><div>...Yes, the paper<i> </i>let you feel to waste the time to explain a lot.</div><div>Because if you did it in the working situation, you must be said</div><div><br />
</div><div><span style="color: red;">"COME RIGHT TO THE POINT, PLEASE."</span></div><div><br />
</div><div>Wait, I remember that this thing happens sometimes in the office, too. </div><div>Especially when you talk with engineer or geek type of people, you need to be lenient.</div><div>They tend to start talking from 0, and you find it is too much explanation to listen to,</div><div>because most of their talking is another story with pointless. </div><div>Just keep talking to you what they have as knowledge.</div><div>... and their topic is going to be far away from the answer to the question at the end.</div><div><br />
</div><div>orz..... amen.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Here's the thing.</div><div>I already faced the facts a lot in the school, too.</div><div>The problem is not writing way or something.</div><div>I'm so surprised that</div><div><br />
</div><div><span style="color: red;">some people do not answer the question LOL</span></div><div><br />
</div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">For example, when the question is</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">"<span style="text-indent: -24px;">What are the different ways of leadership styles?</span><span style="text-indent: -24px;"> "</span></span></div><div><span style="text-indent: -24px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">of course, you can find several types of leadership ways in the text book,</span></span></div><div><span style="text-indent: -24px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">and write to explain what those are and give the point what is the difference among them.</span></span></div><div><span style="text-indent: -24px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">Easy. And then, if you want to add some information on it as your opinion, go ahead.</span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-indent: -24px;"><br />
</span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; text-indent: -24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Their ways are just <b>"I think my boss was..."</b> or <b>" Leadership should be..."</b></span></span></div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; text-indent: -24px;"><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Of course, after you read the answer, you have to recheck the question.<br />
Wait a minutes...What is the question?</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">No! You don't need to give us your idea about what is the good leader or something.<br />
That is not the question, question is "DIFFERENCES" of each type.<br />
From that, I can guess those people cannot have conversation well for complicated topics.<br />
Once they start speaking, they forget what they need to answer and just keep talking.<br />
I'm kind a jealous because I cannot keep talking... just freeze not to be out of the point....</span></span></div><div style="text-indent: -34px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #333333;"><br />

We have learned how to make a harmony with people during the conversation.<br />
Before we start talking, we think those in a second:<br />
<br />
Does my talking have an appropriate topic and words in this situation and atmosphere?<br />
How long and how deep can I keep talking not the others get bored and feel bad?<br />
Can I show my emotion and passion here? Isn't is too much for the others?<br />
<br />
Then, we decide<br />
<br />
OK, <span style="color: red;">AFTER</span> he finish his talking, I will start my talking. <br />
<br />
Yes, you are correct. Listen to the others first is common sense.<br />
But, listen, your way may not always work in the world.<br />
Because a lot of people, you cannot imagine how many,<br />
don't care anything you concern as above.<br />
They don't think it is rude that they don't listen to the others<br />
and just talk as much as they want in THEIR OWN TIMING!!!<br />
Plus, they apparently show their attitude, like<br />
"I am not interested in your talking, and do not need to listen to you, I wanna talk" .<br />
<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pjigkVD4drg/Tws5-4jfwoI/AAAAAAAAAEY/Lia6AE6lenI/s1600/what.dib" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pjigkVD4drg/Tws5-4jfwoI/AAAAAAAAAEY/Lia6AE6lenI/s1600/what.dib" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I know, you cannot believe my saying. Rude, yes especially in "Japanese Culture".<br />
You must get hurt when you face this fact, but it happens a lot.<br />
For example, if you are in the classroom, you can see the scene frequently.<br />
<br />
Professor ".....and ......., so......"<br />
Student A "But in my experience...(5min talking)...and..."<br />
Professor "Ok, thank you for your comment. Let's go to nex..."<br />
Student A "And then professor, .....(2min talking)"<br />
<br />
<b>Other students are bored. </b><br />
<b>We want lectures, not your personal comments.</b><br />
<br />
Another case is like this.<br />
<br />
(<span style="color: red;">You want to listen to A's idea</span>) <br />
Student A ".....and .....that's wh.."<br />
(<span style="color: red;">You tried to give comment AFTER his talking</span>)<br />
Student B "Yeah, I also did it and....."<br />
(<span style="color: red;">B started talking before A finish it</span>)<br />
Student C "Right, I can...."<br />
(<span style="color: red;">C joined B's talking</span>)<br />
Student A "Hmm, anyway, I wanted to sa.."<br />
(<span style="color: red;">You started expecting to listen to A again</span>)<br />
Student B "Oh, do you know this? This is a..."<br />
(<span style="color: red;">B cut it again with another topic</span>)<br />
Student C "I know! Is it a...."<br />
(<span style="color: red;">C move it further</span>)<br />
<br />
<b>You never have chance to get A's whole idea </b><br />
<b>nor your turn to talk!!!!</b><br />
<br />
It happens not only in class but also in daily conversation.<br />
Don't wait your turn, it never come among those people.<br />
You should show your attitude to them clearly,<br />
cut their conversation if you need, and start talking what you want.<br />
Yes, it is rude, but it is necessary for you to show your existence.<br />
Otherwise, the topic goes to another. <br />
<br />
If you didn't do that, they would think you are dull<br />
and not interested in participation of the conversation. <br />
<br />
<br />
I realize Japanese who live here for a long time seem to know it<br />
and have changed their way on purpose to adapt to those situation.<br />
Means, they sometimes don't read the atmosphere as well as normal Japanese do.<br />
I'm still on the way to have the skill. So hard to ignore our cultural beauty.Mangoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17558420168638409170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779380356138967042.post-89631194494384092822012-01-06T20:29:00.000-05:002012-01-06T20:29:05.412-05:00School again. Finally.My holiday is over.<br />
I'm taking those three courses in this semester:<br />
<br />
1. Research and statistics for managerial decision making<br />
2. Managing information technology across the enterprise<br />
3. Managerial finance<br />
<br />
I'm not good at math or number things, pretty sure.<br />
But sounds good for me to take those courses. That's odd.<br />
Maybe because of my nature. I tend to like make things clear in black and white way.<br />
Number does not tell a lie...<br />
<br />
Motivation Level ■■■■■■■■□□ (as of 19:22 EST)<br />
<br />
Then I found a very sad fact in my curriculum of MBA course.<br />
They Only Have One Core Course and One Elective Course for Marketing.<br />
And Elective Course is Only Online by The Professor Cannot Teach Well.<br />
<br />
Motivation Level ■■□□□□□□□□ (as of 20:07 EST)<br />
<br />
I hope they will hire another better professor,<br />
as least the person who can speak naturally, not has terrible stuttering,<br />
and do not make book smart business person.<br />
<br />
IT class (2.) already gave us assignments, and that was not lecture or something.<br />
That was really hard for me to answer because I still cannot find what my ideal job is.<br />
I don't find any passion right now honestly..I'm still struggling.<br />
The question was like this:<br />

I asked my big brother and he answered "how about a prostitute or a fortune teller for you?"<br />
Thank you. I used the later one.<br />

Japan seems to <a href="http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/nn20111227x3.html#.TvnxNgM1Iso.twitter">loosen the weapon export ban</a>.<br />
As I had worked for the company related to precision measure equipment,<br />
I think I know how strict gov controls are for the exporting those to other countries,<br />
and some manufactures in Japan have amazing tech and quality to make arms.<br />
(I'm a super Jap tech believer. Something wrong?)<br />
Plus, high-end consumer products are already great enough to be parts of weapons.<br />
Ironically, yes. Such as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_War">Chad Toyota war case</a>.<br />
Of course, they will limit the process of loosen the law,<br />
the arms, however, must go to inappropriate countries somehow.<br />
And if it would be unlucky, the countries have arms made in Japan might attack Japan.<br />
...well sounds familiar for new yorker.<br />
<br />
(Then we could re-realize that Jap tech is awesome LOL)<br />
<br />
We must buy expensive weapons from US in current situation.<br />
US has been protecting Japan, too.<br />
Debt, debt and dept to defense our country.<br />
On the other hand, if Japan start selling Japan brand arms,<br />
many countries must be interested in purchasing or co-working with them.<br />
<br />
GOOD FOR ECONOMY!<br />
<strike>(not big deal for US... happens all the time...)</strike><br />
<strike><br />
</strike><br />
But, from crazy peace-addicted Jap point of view,<br />
most of Japanese would hate to see the facts, like<br />
"The arms are made in Japan".<br />
Feel to be a part of war. Isn't it sad and embarrassed?<br />
OK, if Japan has to cooperate to the war world<br />
how about... how about.... well...<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">Mr.Wiki-smart-pedia says </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">58 (29%) maintain the death penalty in both law and practice.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">96 (49%) have abolished it.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">9 (5%) retain it for crimes committed in exceptional circumstances (such as in time of war).</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">34 (17%) permit its use for ordinary crimes, but have not used it for at least 10 years </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">and are believed to have a policy or established practice of not carrying out executions, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">or it is under a moratorium.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">(as of Feb, 2011)</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">and then, people were killed by people along the law in 2010.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"><span style="background-color: white;">Bahrain (1), Bangladesh (9+), Belarus (2), Botswana (1),</span><b> <span style="background-color: yellow; color: red;">China (2000+) <- LOL</span></b><span style="background-color: white;">, Egypt (4), </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">Equatorial Guinea (4), <span style="color: red;"><b>Iran (252+)</b></span>, Iraq (1+), Japan (2), Libya (18+), Malaysia (1+), </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"><span style="color: red;"><b>North Korea (60+)</b></span>, Palestinian Authority (5), <b><span style="color: red;">Saudi Arabia (27+)</span></b>, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">Singapore (0+), Somalia (8+), Sudan (6+), Syria (17+), Taiwan (4),<b> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><b><span style="color: red;">USA (46)</span></b>, Vietnam (0+), <span style="color: red;"><b>Yemen (53+).</b></span></span> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">Congratulations. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">USA is a member of death penalty worship as well as some Asian countries</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">whose culture is something "overkill" compare to the other countries.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">Well, the way of USA is definitely different from Saudi Arabia's, they are so scary,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">USA, however, did same thing that people decided to kill somebody anyway.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">(Over 2000 means they don't care the number anymore, just what everyone would expect.</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;">)</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">In Japan, it still exists, too. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">It seems to be decided by the depth of sympathy for the family of victim,</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">and level of the heinous nature about murderer.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">I agree on abolishing the executions, if you asked me.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">It, of course, is to avoid false charges. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">Only for that?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">No. I think that death is meaningless and just let them free from agony.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">If it is obvious to find the people committed the atrocious crime,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">they should be trained to be engineers for land-mines removal in Cambodia forever.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">Every single day, they are helping Cambodian people by facing being dead or quadruple amputees.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">You may work wrong and die, or some others would do wrong and you would suffer terrible injures.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">No one can expect anything.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 19px;">This is the idea that I have had for a long time. Is it strange?? </span>Mangoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17558420168638409170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779380356138967042.post-16858037221188890002011-12-27T13:16:00.000-05:002011-12-27T13:16:30.760-05:00Becoming to one world...I'm not talking about peace or something.<br />
Well, I'm supposed to but unfortunately it is not well prepared for most of the countries.<br />
<br />
This is about China.<br />
They have a lot of people, money and aggressiveness.<br />
<br />
NYC is not exception.<br />
I almost cried while I was walking down Lower East yesterday.<br />
Where has Little Italy gone in Manhattan?<br />
Why dose Bowery have 20 of same type Chinese lighting shops?<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Why does the city ignore their too much expansion for ruining the scenery?</span></b><br />
And of course, as many people cannot speak English,<br />
just talked to me in Chinese, I know I look like Chinese,<br />
but then I started speaking English, their face turned to say "troublesome".<br />
<br />
What is that? Excuse me? I think I'm in NYC, not in China though?<br />
<br />
My lovely sis, squirrel told me that they would tend to make the level lower <br />
to insist that they should be the rule instead of catching up other levels.<br />
I agree. <br />
Sadly, many brand shops from casual to formal are filled with them.<br />
When I saw a beautiful white woman, who seemed a model, came out from the black Porsche,<br />
and went into Dior, THAT had to be the picture in the a high-end boutique.<br />
Then, glanced at inside of miumiu and Channel, oh...my...<br />
<br />
Recently, Chinese buy "real" brand bags or clothes...not only "fake" products.<br />
Ok, they can buy anything, because of MONEY. I know that.<br />
It, however, is not beautiful for the stores to have a bunch of Asian,<br />
like families or friends stick together and block the aisles.<br />
<strike>(Could you please wear the appropriate shoes at least NOT old New Balance sneakers?)</strike><br />
<strike>(Could you please stop putting anime character key holders on the expensive bags?) </strike><br />
Yes, I'm an Asian, and pretty sure Japanese had done it the same several years ago.<br />
They were really hated in Italy when PRADA was the big deal in Japan.<br />
Shame on ourselves.<br />
I have never done in, but would like to apologize to have broken their elegance.<br />
And I wish I did not have Asian look...honestly.<br />
<br />
From economic aspects, no one can say China is nothing.<br />
But other point of views, they need to come up to world level first.<br />
Their behavior and moral should be better to get along with the rest of the world.<br />
Do not think your level is the center of the world, please.<br />
If they completed entire of the world right now, some sense of beauty would disappear. <br />
<br />
Who can stop their unusual expansion? India? No, they are willing to work under Chinese.<br />
EU has almost gave up being friendly to them because of human right aspects.<br />
Unfortunately, Japan has no power at all. They are peace-addicted.<br />
(But after I watched a TV showing a wealthy Chinese girl<br />
who was in the night club in Shanghai said<br />
"China already knocked out Japan, Japan is nothing for us to learn anything from" ,<br />
my emotion turned to mood against them. Never forget the moment.)<br />
<br />
That is why USA exists on the earth!!!!!<br />
I know many countries hate US too, but please imagine the situation<br />
that all counties are occupied by Chinese and work under them... you like it??<br />
They can, if they want. So scary.Mangoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17558420168638409170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779380356138967042.post-54002416054374301682011-12-26T00:12:00.005-05:002011-12-26T00:34:50.447-05:00The Thrills / So Much For The CityChristmas season has gone.<br />
So it's the time to stop listening to this album for a while.<br />
Heavy rotation these days... what nice music they are.<br />
A great album in my collection.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_Much_for_the_City">So Much for the City</a><br />
<br />
My favorite song is "Don't Steal Our Sun"...<br />
but PV is so corny... that's sad.<br />
<br />

and just finished Christmas and for next year...<br />
<br />
Santa Cruz ... also this PV is a trash... spoil the song.<br />

You are delicious enough.My friend got pregnant and then got married.<br />
34 years-old woman success to catch 27? years-old boy. Haha.<br />
They are mature enough to have a baby and I hope the guy is not a greedy...<br />
just can obey a monotone life as a typical Japanese dad has.<br />
<br />
(Well, that's kind of a reason that Japanese guys spend<br />
a lot of money for piano bars and sex trading shops<br />
or touch high school gals body on the packed train...<br />
those are terrible culture in Japan... unfortunately...<br />
They excuse that they need to have "small" amusements in monotone life.)<br />
<br />
How about marriage of under 25 years-old-couple because of pregnancy?<br />
<br />
It must depend on the personalities and circumstances of them.<br />
If they are living in a country side and have nothing to do but having family,<br />
a man wants to get married to a woman to have a stable life without playing around<br />
because it's good to concentrate on his professional work, such as athletes,<br />
or don't need any other women anymore, I guess it would be great and work for them.<br />
<br />
Besides those... I need to say sorry.<br />
<br />
If I were a young man, I would like to invest all of my money for my potential.<br />
(...I'm doing it even though I'm an old woman... oops)<br />
Especially in New York, there are a lot of opportunities for young bachelors<br />
to get and spend money as much as they can, attract women as much as they want,<br />
and obtain chances to see important people for their life and work, more and more.<br />
I think that would be men's need at an early age.<br />
Having experiences both good ways and bad ways to learn.<br />
And what if you are a good looking guy and was supposed to have enough money to go out?<br />
While the people around you are in the hip night club with wearing D&G and Armani,<br />
you get text "Remember diapers! CVS is closing! Where are you?" from your wife.<br />
<br />
<br />

THE END<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Boys, if you are still interested in playing with sexy gals, use condoms.<br />
Don't waste<span style="font-family: inherit;"> your precious youth, energy and money for near future divorce.</span><br />
To avoid the misery, stop using internet matching and putting your stupid fake profile.<br />
Even though you are playing with them, you have a chance to be trapped by women, too. LOL<br />
<br />
Oh, if you are not young and eager to have someone, of course no prob. Go ahead.

But I guess, I'm a big eater for my size.<br />
To be honest, I gained weight 4kg (around 10lb) compare to August.<br />
I know the reason very well. Food. So it's the time to handle it.<br />
Just go back to my normal life style.<br />
Eat only at decided time, avoid snacks and sweets, cook Japanese food,<br />
sleep early time, and do working out. That's it.<br />
I really hate to have extra meat on my body, especially belly and back,<br />
because at that time, legs and butt have already had some fat before other parts had.<br />
Oh yeah, that was my fault... kick out disgusting stuff during winter time to make it by spring.<br />
<br />
Here's my excuses.<br />
Be careful to face the fact.<br />
<br />

They say that it's tough even for scientists to divide soft drugs and hard drugs,<br />
and Alcohol and Cannabis are also unhealthy but legalized.<br />
<br />
Yes, I understand, that's why I don't do anything including cigarette.<br />
Everything is in the same category for me... not healthy.<br />
My all family members but me had been smoking cigarette until my mom got cancer,<br />
but I'm not sure about my brother really quit it, actually.<br />
(My drugs are music and arts..., they make me high enough...)<br />
Well, I take an alcohol, a little bit, not too much for drunk.<br />
Just taking appropriated amount to have good blood circulation.<br />
...Sounds healthy, right?<br />
<br />
I know some American insist the same for legalization.<br />
But one of them I know has never done any drugs, even weed,<br />
and say the good reason to legalize it is only for revenue to government by taxation system.<br />
Ah, I see. The economists must consider how government makes money.<br />
<br />
...I do not have knowledge to talk about deep side of economy or crime incident.<br />
But I cannot say yes for those legalization.<br />
Simply, it's too risky to implement it.<br />
People who had been interested in drugs but never used it<br />
would try casually when they had chances because of no regulation anymore.<br />
And decades later, it would not be considered dangerous things.<br />
In Germany, they know what strict rules they need to handle drugs after legalizing.<br />
But if the pharmacies could sell it only when the patient have prescription in US,<br />
another business would emerge soon, like "Prescription.com".<br />
(They may give you Free Trial up to 3 times, join now!)<br />
<br />
And the person whom I mentioned say<br />
that even though it is legalized, only people who want to ruin their life use it,<br />
and normal people would not enjoy it to keep current life style anyway.<br />
<br />
Wait.<br />
Wait.<br />
<br />
OK, of course they would spoil their life. It's obvious.<br />
Yeah, then many prisoners for using drugs would be released at that point.<br />
But why they are illegal right now? Why do many countries have same policies against drugs?<br />
Why even medical marijuana is a topic to battle whether to be legalized or not?<br />
Because drug users have potential to be violent with craziness to others, is it correct?<br />
So, if drug users increase, crime rate and the number of the unemployed also increase.<br />
Then you need to build twice more jails and prisons for that.<br />
Is it good for economy? And tax will be used for feeding and maintaining them. <br />
Even if it would be good for economical aspects, not for ethical aspects.<br />
<br />
Well, anyway, my point is just one thing.<br />
<br />
I don't want to lose my dear people around me because of that stupid reason.Mangoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17558420168638409170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779380356138967042.post-37060094711614956902011-12-17T17:40:00.000-05:002011-12-17T17:40:41.260-05:00Talkative nature is woman's weaponI think Japanese tend to be quiet.<br />
"Iwanu-ga Hana" is Japanese proverb, means<br />
that it's wise to be a person of a few words.<br />
Especially, it is usual for me to talk to nobody a couple of days.<br />
<br />
*You are not allowed to say that's why my English is bad yet...<br />
<br />
It may not apply to many countries.<br />
For example, my next room, Sri Lankan, expresses her emotion too much with her BF.<br />
Laughs loudly then bursts into tears with screaming...oh boy. It happens all the time.<br />
<strike>(She has a cute face, but her gross gob sound is awful from bathroom.)</strike><br />
Well, it must be a normal thing for Sri Lankan, because their talking way is dramatic.<br />
I guess it is alike to Arab people or South Americans, might be. Emotion is important for them.<br />
<br />
<br />
For us, it must be evaluated like<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
But for them, we Japanese must be cold, unsure and boring.<br />
<br />
As for women, talkative nature maybe some attractive element to men.<br />
Usually, up beat cheerful talkative girls are <b>dragging</b> their cute quiet boy, yes.<br />
Going back to the next room's story,<br />
she talks on the phone, brings and keeps talking with her BF,<br />
then after he leaves, starts using Skype...<br />
(I don't want to hear but everything is too loud to mute for my ears)<br />
<br />
I always wonder these three things...<br />
<br />
1) Isn't she tired to move mouth such a long time?<br />
2) How many topics does she have to talk?<br />
3) Isn't she afraid of having throat polyps? <span style="font-size: xx-small;"><b><- kidding</b></span><br />
<br />
To be honest, I'm kinda jealous.<br />
I think I'm too quiet... can't talk more than need.<br />
Sometimes, I hear that men hate to listen to their wife's meaning less talking<br />
when they come home with tiredness after work.<br />
Act bored, wife says "are you listening to me?" without feeling sorry to talk too much.<br />
<br />
I cannot.<br />
No.<br />
100% ultra No.<br />
<br />
I tend to be on men side. Speaking about regular topics or gossips is troublesome.<br />
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, it makes my impression "boring". I know.<br />
Ok, I can listen to you. but please do not force me to talk. I cannot.Mangoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17558420168638409170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779380356138967042.post-56887536745069578102011-12-16T09:06:00.002-05:002011-12-16T09:15:11.531-05:00Customer ServiceFrom Japanese point of view,<br />
shop staffs sometimes give us unbelievably terrible services or behaviors.<br />
If they were working in Japan, they would be fired immediately.<br />
On the other hand, the rest of those have great skills to welcome and help customers.<br />
Two extremes. Part time or internship... I don't know but kids are also have this tendency.<br />
<br />
Is it nature?<br />
<br />
I don't think so.<br />
<br />
They had not practiced to handle their emotion (feeling) not go to mood (behavior).<br />
The cycle of emotion and mood is built by environment while they had grown up. <br />
In family, schools or neighbors... adults let them know that by oral and action.<br />
Like, "No need to hide your emotion to get something. Everyone is selfish, do it."<br />
But some who had been raised in moral can learn<br />
that your mood make the other's mood, too.<br />
Or, they realize their mood is wrong at that point they start working and see seniors.<br />
<br />
When you are depressed or angry, it must be tough to make smile on your face.<br />
When you are tired, it must be difficult to move fast and talk with customers.<br />
<br />
Sorry, but it is your job that you selected to do.<br />
You are a part of the window and mirror of the shop and company.<br />
<br />
Recently, many companies use outsourcing for CS,<br />
such as Indian firms of telecommunication.<br />
24 hours call service... sounds good.<br />
It, however, connect to Indian company... does it really help you?<br />
Many people don't understand their speaking,<br />
and some staffs cannot understand American English, because of their Britain English.<br />
So smart companies already realized that Indian are good for hard working<br />
but not enough for customer satisfaction.<br />
Then, it goes to Philippines whose workers speak American English. Sounds better, right?<br />
<br />
How about Japanese CS.<br />
Well, actually, shop staffs or call center workers are robots, not human.<br />
As you already found, their "apologize" is not from bottom of their hearts.<br />
Their too much "thank you very much" is reading the lines.<br />
Therefore, sometime they cannot respond to the irregular questions or requests.<br />
Anyway, their behavior as CS is correct, even though it is fake and surface.<br />
<br />
But when I went back to Japan after spending 8 month to live in NY,<br />
I felt their thanks and vows were too much and.... made me tired LOLMangoohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17558420168638409170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3779380356138967042.post-30820988597052347592011-12-15T00:17:00.001-05:002011-12-15T00:40:34.599-05:00It's English Blog Time.Well, I have two blog pages already.
