慈善がないという訳ではないけど。。

やっぱり、チャリテイが賛成できない。

こんにちわ!このブログは「世界の増すしさを戦い」に送られます。昨日、そんなに事が母と議論をしまいました。母が本格的な親切があると思います。実は、母はヤバイ貧乏な子供のために、毎日40¥を寄付します。それは、本当にすばらしいでしょう?

 

一方、手伝うようにせいかく頑張ってるのに、チャリテイは否定的な面もあいますから。例えば、人間として、いつもお金がもらうと、自信が独立も失うとかもしれません。だれかに「ただ昼ごはん」をあげる時先方は怠け者になって来るはずですね。それに、政治はこの事件が真面目わりに、怠けになります。問題の原因を解かないものだからよ。

あたしとして、つらいけど、悲しいけど、フランクけど、この問題が解くように、犠牲が必要なのだろう?つまり、全部ビルゲイツの豊を使っても、世界の増すしさのため、彼のお金が足らないだと思います。

 さらに、皆でチャりテイ唯一解決が考えてます。余分なお金があっても、チャリテイが寄付ないと、皆の意見で、あなたは酷いというわけになります。例えば、母として従兄はとてもお金持ちな会社員ですから、お金が寄付しなければなりません。従兄はケチンポウでも、毎日頑張ってるし、仕事は本当に真面目だし、お弁当だけ食べてるし、パーテイーがあまりしないしい、お金が自身のため費やすのが当然でしょう?その他にも、従兄はもう27歳でも、まだ彼氏がないのに。英語の諺によって、「Now it is also time for me to eat my donut」で貧乏な人は生活の近道が選ぶので、今は人生が悪くなって、従兄は党回り道を選んだら、今は楽になります。

例えば、ほとんど貧乏な若者がセクス経験があって、皆で準備できる前に、妊娠されてしまいました。人間だから、それは大丈夫ですけど、一部人々が待つほうを選んでます。「Don't you think these people who wait deserve what they have right now?」というわけです。


やっぱり、日本語は難しいですよ。英語のほうがいいかな。。

Radio-Japan, Chinese Pod, and Dublin in April

For a week I've been dying to find a good site for listening to Japanese news. I don't know why I suddenly had this kick. I lived in Japan for years and never had I listened to Japanese news. Now, I'm far away, I realize that I missed something in my life.

I found NHK World http://www.nhk.or.jp/rj/podcast/ which broadcasts news in 18 different languages (including Chinese and Persian) but I cannot find the link for the Japanese news.  When I go to homepage of NHK, they only news they have are video clips and Japanese lessons. I don't like to watch video clips because the video card of my mini-laptop is not good enough.

And then I found a relatively good site on Japanese Internet Radio  http://www.multilingualbooks.com/online-radio-japanese.html#about  which has links to NHK in Japane, MBS, and Yomiuri news. But the problem is that it is only updated twice daily. And the clips are mostly less than 10 minutes each.

And finally, I came across Radio Tower http://www.radiotower.com/country-JP.html  which virtually transforms your computer into a radio so u can listen to the actual station as if you are in that country.

I still do tune in to JapanesePod101 but recently I've been getting annoyed with their lack of updates and fairly lame topics. For instance, they make uninteresting series about a certain Wasabi Ninja. Plus, I find their upper intermediate lessons to be too easy. I am pleased that I didn't push through my subscription and waste E15/month.

Clearly, ChinesePod is much better when it comes to the frequency of lessons, topics,, stratification of levels ranging from total newbie to 100% Chinese media, and the general method of teaching. In fact, thanks to the great team of Ken Caroll and Jenny Chu, I have successfully progressed from a complete beginner to middle elementary. I took an online Chinese test to gauge my level and I am quite surprised at how much I have learned in a few months for a few minutes a day.

Anyway, maybe it is just a phase and the fact that Dublin's April is so friggin' cold doesn't help either. I have made plans for a weekend trip on countryside of Galway or Sligo but because the weather is still very much unpredictable, with occasional rain and HALE, I figure it is better to forego of that plan until May or June.

Some updates with my life in Ireland this month: Last Thursday I attended Mike Scott's introductory talk to Pairings Applications to Crypto. For someone who is sure to quit her Math career in a few months, I would say that I really enjoyed it and appreciate how amazing Crypto really is. To be honest, how I wish I could still work as a Cryptographer in the future. I truly believe that Pairings will be the main basis of some of our technologies 10 years from now.

For instance, Mike Scott had discussed about the possibilities of cars talking to each other -- don't get this wrong, it's not whimsical talk -- it would be to avoid major accidents like collisions and to ease down traffic congestions and maybe even to save fuel. Can u imagine that a seeminlgy harmless Mathematical idea could solve this problem? Yes it is possible, and that this would be a very cheap technology which can easily be installed by major car manufacturers on their new products. That is why I am working hard right now just to be able to learn as much about Pairings because in the future I won't have access to this education anymore.

Oh well. That is the trade off one choses in his/her life.

Teaching Japanese

For the 3rd straight week I've been teaching Nihongo as baito! It's not much but at least those seemingly futile years of self-studying is not spent in vain afterall.

Moreover, it gives me a boost in my confidence knowing that I can now make money based on my meager Japanese ability.

In a few months, I will be going to Shanghai and enroll in a language school. I promise to do my best this time and become very fluent in Mandarin. I would never let anything hinder my progress not even myself. What I mean is that this time I would not self-distract.

But for now, I want to enjoy the remaining days in Dublin and of course earn the mighty EURO!!

そろそろ行かなくちゃ。。

I will be quitting mathematics after this summer. It is official. I have made up my mind, well at least I'm 80% sure.

So, that's it. A decade of mathematics is coming to an end. I will try to work hard for the coming days just so I can leave in a grand fashion. I want to at least give my best shot.

But, after this.. I will be free! Finally!! I waited soooooooooooo long to make this decision. Hopefully there is life after mathematics. I will try to figure out what I want to do cause to be honest, I haven't gotten a clue. But the best is thing is... stay tuned!!

Dear Babe,

Hi babe,

Today is March 24, 2008. I would have loved to talk to you more but unfortunately you have been to busy recently. So, I guess I have to contend myself in recording this video and time travel to the future. I don't know when you will actually be viewing this, it could be weeks, months, or even years from now. But it doesn't matter when. I just hope that u still remember me.

Sometimes when you are out at night, do u feel that the wind on your cheeks. Those were my kisses, babe, I'm blowing them from a distant land hoping that somehow they find their way to u. You are my baby, even if you already belong to someone else right now, even if someone else is with u at this moment, even if I'm exchanging vows with someone else, you will always be my baby. I will treasure the day when you smiled at me, when u took my hand and danced with me, the first movie we enjoyed together, the first meal, the first night when we made love and lose our innocence to this world, the first song u sang for me, isn't it "You're beautiful by James Blunt," and the first time I said I love you and u missed your flight to Fukuoka.

I meant it before, and I meant it now. I don't want to cry while I'm here in Shanghai with you cause I want u to remember me as the girl with the perfect smile, with the perfect set of teeth, the girl with the most kissable lips. I wanted to be remembered as your baby, the one who cared for you the most, the one who speaks funny Japanese, the one who laughs at your English, the one who taught u the words "COMPELLED" and the one that "ARRESTS" you with her simple remarks.

But most importantly babe, I wanted to be remembered as the girl who loved u the most, and the one who loved with all her heart and soul. I am your girl, I am your lady, I am your princess, and you are my prince. I never regret meeting u no matter what had happened. Because I know that for SEVEN MONTHS, you have loved me, for 7 MONTHS, you have been faithful to me, for 7 months, I made your world revolve and you made mine. For 7 months from March to September 2007. We were the happiest couple in the world. Do you remember what u said in Shinagawa station on the last day of Golden Week? For 7 months, babe! But then "Wake me up when September ends."

Now, I leave u with 7 snippets which I have all written this day. When u seek with your heart, you will find them. Good luck babe.

AND REMEMBER THAT I LOVE YOU!! I really do!
