I don't believe it!!! My stupid computer is broken again! The shop said that the computer would lose all the datas when it is fixed. Then why didn't I save important details? because my father pulled out all the plugs without any of our family's permissions! He always says that his company's computers are so and so, but I know that HE! is the last person who leans computers in the world! Hell! Why couldn't he wait? Well, he has never been patient. If he is, that would be a big laugh. Then why couldn't he just keep away from the stupid broken computer? HELL! I have had to spend my life without computer since Golden Week was begun. Yes, it is very hell. I didn't come to KGU during Golden Week, so my life has really been w/out computer... Today I come to KGU, and this is the first time that I can use computer since the stupid computer has been out of order. The shop has not called to tell us how much it would cost yet! What the hell are they doing??! Hurry! I need a computer back in my life anyway! If it will cost a lot to fix it, I will buy a new one. A new, cleverer one.

Thanks for lots of comments, everyone^^. This is the first time that I received 25? 26? comments on my blog! I am very happy about this. I have worked as a volunteering staff at the Food Expo in Intex Osaka on Aprlil 29th, May 1st, 3rd, 5th and I will work one more day on May 8th. My group mates and I in the Food Circus Area have to encourage people to wash their hands before they eat. After people wash their hands, they can get a sticker of Food Expo's characters on their hand. I thought the stickers are for kids, but parents and obachans are in the line too. There are a lot of bad-mannered, rude people who try to get more stickers even if we explain there is one sticker for one person, or try to get a sticker without washing their hands even if we encourage them to clean their hands first. Those people get angry when we try to let them do things appropriately, and it gets me very nervous and unhappy when I meet those people. On the other hand, I feel very good when I meet good-mannered, smily kids who become very happy when they get a sticker on their hands^^. Of course, Foopie is the most popular sticker, but other characters are also popular. There are Lanlan(egg), Tarakombi(Tarako), Niraran(Nira), etc. Did anyone see a girl who put a funny sticker on her hand at KGU on May6th? It was me! I can hang around all the areas during my lunch time and break time, so I have enjoyed visiting a lot of different booths to try various yummy food! yey! My favourite is a greentea softcream at "Osaka-booth" in 6A. Has anyone come to Food Expo? There are two more days, so you should come! I found UNICEF's booth, so yesterday, I visited there during my break time. They show a video of refugee camps, I guess, and they sell postcards and T-shirts and etc. 50% of the sells will go help UNICEF's activities. There are also charity-boxes people donate money. I bought two greeting cards, and one of them has "Happy Birthday" in six languages that are U.N.'s official languages. I also donated 100yen in the box. I chatted a woman in UNICEF's booth, and she told me that I can visit their office in Osaka when I have time, and I can help their works. The office is where Mio and Mo-chan visited last year. She also said that they use an old school's buidling as their office. It is not always just fun when I talk with a lot of different people, and when I have to listen to endless boring stories of occhan and obachan even in my break time, but it is an experience. I am especially very happy to meet new very nice friends. When I had a work to serve lots of dishes of pibimpap to 2005 people(One Coin Charity), I met Yuka. We had to work very hard to finish giving all the dishes to 2005 people, but thanks to this work, Yuka and I can be friends. Yuka is very beautiful, funny, and she is really my new sweet friend^^. We had just 2 or 3 days to work together, but we will keep in touch. Both of us are on the 3rd year of Uni, so there will be a lot to talk to each other. Next Food Expo is 2009 in the same place, so if you cannot come this time, try in 2009!

I have been studying about Oslo Accord 2 because I will have a presentation of it on May 12th in my seminar class. Guess what! I realized that I have never done presentations in Japanese! I have even never spoken in Japanese in front of a crowd! Oh, no... I wish it is in English. Anyway, I have understood quite a lot about the Oslo Accord 2. It is just 'how to explain or describe things I understood making sense to my audience'. My audience seem to prefer Japanese... Some poeple around me say that it is nearly hopeless to believe that peace will come between Israel and Palestine. There have been agreements like the Oslo Accord 2 for peace, and killings, and there have been agreements, and kiilings again, and again. but I wish that I can say something positive about the Middle East at my presentation, but it should be logical... Tough, but I will try to make sence^^. Wish me a gooood luck!

    Too bad... i wouldn't know what to do w/out my PC... Which OS were yours running? Windows, Linux, MacOS...?
    Data loss is avoidable. But in general, they (the computer shops) don't give a f**k about recovering data (now i'm pissed off!). It's really simple, and there's plenty of free (Open Source / GNU) tools for it. But they go they easy way: format c:. Next time you should partition your disk. And save documents (or important stuff) in a secondary partition (not where OS and software is installed). Then, if your pc crashes, you could reinstall your entire OS and software, and documents will be safe.
    I think encouraging people to wash their hands before eat is a good idea. That prevents a lot of health issues.
    Good luck with your presentation! Don't worry... first five minutes you'll want to die... but after that, you'll feel relaxed... like "what the hell... i'm still here and didn't die... let's segregate endorphin... NOW i'm relaxed".And words will start coming from you mouth like a water from a fountain.
    GOOD LUCK! ^_^

    Wow, it sounds like you have been having a lot of computer problems. Me too . . . ugh. Sometimes I wonder if computers are even worth it! Anyway, soon I won't have a computer at all, because when I leave Kansai Gaidai, I have to give my laptop back to the university. boo hoo. I'm going to miss it!
