The Beautiful Wall Reliefs

Today, I noticed that the beautiful decoration of the buildings of downtown Victoria, especially the wall reliefs just under the roofs.
But it's the first time for me to realize this for the whole four years!!! What was I looking for the past four years? Anyway, I found one more beautiful things in Victoria. It's so good to have found this. I wonder how many more do the amazing things left unnoticed in here. It's so much fun to look for them.

Worked on Homepage

Today, I worked on my homepage.
And tomorrow, I'm going to update those at school. I can only update my pages from school since I'm using the UVic's space. I guess if I buy some software from UVic and install on my computer, then I can update my homepages from home, but I think updating from school is OK for now.

Nonfiction

Today, I am reading a Japanese book for a whole day.
It's nonfiction and I love document stories much much more than fiction.
It's good to know many things that actually happened.
Nonfiction is much more interesting than fiction.

After the Rain

It's been a long while from the last time when we had have rain, but today we had rain.
But now it stopped and I can see the sunset ray shines all the trees along the road. With still the gray sky, the trees are stand more than a usual fine day.
It is the scenery of after the rain.

The Power of the Nature

Today, I went to see the sea and the Olympic mountain from Beacon Hill park, mile zero.
Today's mountains were so beautiful. I'd never seen that much layers of peaks of the mountain.
Seeing that mountain, the sea and the sky, I felt refreshed and went back to home.

Lay Down and Fell Asleep

I can lay down on my sofa and fell asleep
with no fear about a bomb coming from the sky.
How happy this life is.
I wish any child on this earth could feel this happiness.

An Angry Shouting Man

"Don't do that!!!"
Today, I awakened by this angry man's voice.
I've been sleeping opening the window to avoid too much heat, but then the noise outside has easily been come in to my room. This was the second time I awakened by a shouting voice from somewhere outside. But both voice were a man's voice and they were similar, so I guess it's the same man.
Last time, I got very irritated by this voice, so I shut the window violently and turned on a music loudly. But this time, I didn't get irritated at all but instead felt it funny. He was shouting, "Don't do that!" "Everyone gets mad." "NOOOO!!!" for about 15~20 minutes! I thought, "Wow... he has so much energy! It's already been fifteen minutes. Not so many can shout so long. It's like a comic! Poor the other person, though." I couldn't hear the other person's voice, so I totally don't know whether a kid or a woman or a man was scaling by him. I also don't know what the person was trying to do, but certainly felt sorry for him/her.
But that was a comic!

Manga for Improving English

I stood and read manga in a bookstore today.
It's one of my bad habits. I love reading manga, but don't have enough money to buy all of them especially in here. The English translated manga costs double of its original Japanese one. Naturally, I just go to a bookstore and read them, however... I do feel guilty, so what I do is to pray for the bookstore to earn more money so that my browsing won't be a big thing.
But there are two good points (only for my side though). I've learned many new words from them, and I actually start thinking in English.
I guess reading (even though it's manga) is really good for improving English.

An Advice

Today, I went to school to check out the text books and to take a rocker to keep my stuffs in for this new school year.
When I was checking text books at the bookstore, I met a friend who already took the Math course that I'm planning to take. She said one of the course is much harder than the one I took in Spring, and if I take two Math courses at the same time, it might be so hard.
I was actually planning to take two Math courses, but now from her stories, I'm considering dropping the harder one and take only one Math which she recommended to take first.
I'm not yet decided, but it's good to hear such advices from a friend. I appreciate for her.
Thanks!

Moving Ads

Blogger is good because there is no moving ads inside.
When I look some pages where there are lots of small moving advertisements, I feel dizzy.
If there are switch to stop them, it will be very good.

The Violin Case

In these days, whenever I look my violin case, I always gloat.
I really appreciate for it. The violin itself and the case didn't come at once. At I first bought the violin case, ... more accurately, a violin case and a bow set that contains a case, a bow, a rosin, and a shoulder rest. I had found this set from a web page of a strings store. All of the items are good quality and I'm satisfied with them, especially for the case. The case always closed very tightly (so the water doesn't easily come in) and is lighter (I guess). Also it can be carried either over one's shoulder or on one's back, and for me, both style fits my body very nicely.
I'm sure that I bought a nice one.

For Everyday Life

As I know more, the unknown increases in double.
If I keep looking too far, I'll be devastated.
So, keep my eyes down and look only two or three steps from my feet.
This is for everyday life.
Only occasionally, look far away.

My African Violets

One of the two of my African violet is now getting weak and weak.
But the other is getting strong and strong. But they share one pot. I don't think the soil becomes bad and I'm watering them properly I think, so the only thing I can do is to change the position.
The weaker one is facing brighter place; the stronger one is in the opposite. African violet doesn't like too much sun. So, I'll turn the pot 180 degrees and watch what will happen.

The Second Step

The second step of building the pillar of light is finished today.
Wait for the next step... Then at least the pillar will stand.

Two Weeks More

Only two weeks left? until the schools begin?
Wow... I'd better do more preview.

The Pillar of Light

Today, I started building one strong pillar of light in my mind.
This is not yet completed, but the first step will complete soon.

The Dream Which I Don't Remember

Today, when I was sleeping on my sofa, I may have seen a mysterious dream.
I totally don't remember the dream, but when I woke up, I was overwhelmed by intriguing feeling.
I might have learned something important, but I don't remember. ...Well, I guess when the time comes I'll know it.
Dreaming is so interesting. Anything is possible in a dream, but it's almost always doesn't make sense.

One Minute

Just before midnight, I opened this page.
The clock on my computer was 11:59, but this post's time shows 11:58. I thought this posts creation page's time and date follows on the computer it opened up... Well, they may follow but show one minute late. (or just my computer is too slow to download the entire page.)

How is it enigmatic to be exist.

UVic's Practice Room vs Conservatory's

Today, I went to a practice room at UVic.
This was the first time to use the room, so I didn't know where the room is and how I open its door. But, that wasn't difficult at all. I don't have to call the building manager to open the door unlike the Conservatory. It seems the door is open all the time even in the weekends.
However, there are two bad points. The first one is the time. I can't use the room (only one room is available for non-music students) more than two hours per week, and also I have to sign the schedule sheet before I use. But if I go to the Conservatory after 5:00 pm, I can use a room (any practice room) as much as I want until the building close, and as long as it's outside of the office hour I don't have to book. The second one is the distance. UVic is much farther than the Conservatory from my apartment. It's take about half an hour to go UVic by bus, but to the Conservatory, it's only 15 minutes by walking.
So, as soon as the summer courses ends at the Conservatory, I'll use the practice room at there.
