This phrase represents breaking the opponent's power and weakening them to seize victory. Nico has an intellectual and calm fighting style, and aims for victory by analyzing her opponent's techniques and utilizing her own skills.

Look up at the night sky

Look up at the night sky

I try to take walks twice a day, in the morning and evening, on my days off. This is because I make it a point to walk more than 8,000 steps a day.


When I went out for a walk after 5:30 PM, it was already pitch black outside. As I looked up at the night sky, I saw a strange sight. The crescent moon, Venus, and another mysterious celestial body were lined up almost in a straight line.


I wonder what this could be.


When I got home and watched the live video on Weather News, it turns out that the other celestial body was Jupiter.


This was my first time seeing Jupiter. I was impressed by how bright it looked.

How to brew a delicious one-drip coffee.

I drink coffee every day because I have found that it helps me relax. 

I drink drip coffee at work and instant coffee at home. However, I became dissatisfied with instant coffee, so I considered buying a coffee maker. 

But it seemed like too much hassle, so I bought one-cup drip coffee instead. 

It's a little more expensive than instant coffee, but I think it's convenient and good. In fact, I think it's better quality than instant coffee when I taste it. 

Today, I found a video on YouTube that shows how to make one-cup drip coffee even more delicious, so I want to share it with you because it's a great video. 

According to the video, the type of coffee I drink is called "hook type". 

I used to pour in a little bit of hot water and stir for about 20 seconds, but the video says there's a trick to it. 

The trick is to pour 140 ml of hot water all at once and wait four minutes. If you have Amazon Echo, you can easily control the timer with your voice. 

Let's try making coffee with this trick starting today.

February 23th

 Today is Thursday, February 23, and the weather in Tokyo is cloudy with clear skies later. The high temperature is 14 degrees, which is much warmer than yesterday.


Today is a national holiday called the Emperor's Birthday. It's interesting that even though February only has 28 days, there are two national holidays in this month. I wonder what I should do today?


Since the weather seems to be good today, I want to do laundry and wash my sheets and blankets.


I plan to study English more than usual. I also have to file my tax return and apply for paid leave. There are many things to do, so I'll take them one at a time.


This month is almost over, and time seems to fly by so fast. If I'm not careful, my life could be over before I know it. I'm going to work hard to make the most of my remaining life.

【DOAXVV】New Venus "Yukino" Debut!

Today, February 21, KOUEI's online computer game DoaXVV received an update, adding new characters. The total number of characters available is 28, with 26 available to me.

For the time being, the new characters can only be obtained through paid Gachas.


I don't have any money, so I won't be turning paid Gachas. Therefore, I have no connection to these characters for the time being.


本日2月21日、KOUEIが運営するオンラインコンピューターゲームDoaXVVでアップデートがあり、新しいキャラクターが追加された。登場するキャラクターは合計28名、私が使用可能なキャラクターは26名だ。
新規の追加キャラは当面、有償のガチャのみで入手が可能だ。

私はお金がないので有償のガチャは回さない。したがって当面このキャラクターとは縁がないのだ。

February 20th

Wow, it's already Monday and the fourth week of February! 

And can you believe we have a national holiday coming up on Thursday the 23rd? 

Yay! I can't wait to have a break from work and enjoy the day off. 

This week is gonna be a breeze since I only have to work four days, woohoo!

But, ugh, being just a temp means my paycheck is gonna take a hit. 

It's frustrating and puts a damper on my excitement for the holiday. 

But still, I'm grateful for a little break and time to relax.

Writing in my diary every day to practice English is tough. 

I struggle to write simple and concise expressions.

I try to keep it simple and sweet, but it's still a challenge.

I'm thinking of tweeting my daily sentences to help me improve my spoken English.

 Do you think it could work?

 Let's give it a try this month and see how it goes. 

But I know that next month, I'll have to come up with a new strategy. 

It's important to switch things up to learn effectively, isn't it?

2月20日月曜日。2月ももう4週目。今月も後残りわずかです。23日木曜日は国民の祝日。このため今週は会社に4日だけ行けばよい。いつもと比べるととても気が楽だ。

派遣社員のため、収入が減るため単純に祝日だからといって喜べない。だけど祝日があると気持ちが楽になるのは間違いない。

英語の学習のために日記を書いている。あまりに長い文章や複雑な文章を書くと、難易度が高くなってしまう。なるべく短くシンプルな英語を書くようにしよう。

書いた文章を毎日つぶやけば、英語が話せるようになるのかな。今月いっぱいは、書いた日記をつぶやく練習を続けてみよう。3月になったらまた新しことを試すかもしれない。英語を話せるようになるためには、色々と試してみることが必要だと思う。

February 19th

It's Sunday, the last day of a two-day weekend...

Ever since I was a kid, I've always hated Sundays. Because I have school on Monday (I work now).

On Sunday morning I can still feel like I'm on vacation, but in the afternoon it's all over. I feel depressed.

Well, today's weather in Tokyo is cloudy and sometimes sunny. But there is a chance of showers.

I wash sheets and blankets every Sunday, but I think I'll stop today.

I've been worried about my weight gain lately, but it's finally starting to come off. I'm going to keep an eye on the scale every day. I want to eat as much protein as I can. I know cooking meat is a hassle, but I'm going to eat chicken breast because it's a good source of protein for weight loss. Chicken breast is very good for losing weight.

I'm going to study English again today. I study English because I want to get a better job, increase my income, and live a rich life. I can't afford to skip it, can I? I can't wait to speak English. I will definitely learn to speak English by the end of this year.


 今日は日曜日、二連休の最終日だ。

子供のころから、日曜日は苦手だ。何故なら月曜日は学校があるからだ(今は仕事)。

日曜日の午前中はまだ休み気分でいられる。しかし午後になると気分が憂鬱になってくる。

さて、東京の天気は曇り時々晴れとのこと。しかしにわか雨が降る可能性がある。

毎週日曜日はシーツと毛布を洗濯をする日だが、今日は止めておこう。

最近、体重が増加していたので食事に気を付けていた。ようやく体重が減りだした。今後も気を緩めずに毎日、体重の計測は継続しよう。食事はできるだけタンパク質を多く摂りたい。なるべく鶏胸肉を食べようと思う。肉の調理は面倒なため、普段、あまり肉は食べない。けれでも鶏胸肉は減量にとてもよい食材なのだ。

今日も英語の勉強を頑張ろう。私が英語を勉強するのは、もっと良い職業に転職して収入を増やし、豊な生活を実現するためだ。早く英語を話せるようになりたいな。必ず今年中に英語が話せるようになります。

Loxonin

Since catching a cold in November last year, I have been experiencing symptoms where my whole body feels uncomfortable every Saturday night.

It seems that the inflammation in my back, legs, and lower back, which are usually painful, worsens temporarily.

Despite the long weekend, I feel depressed.

While researching ways to deal with this, I suddenly thought of something. What if I take Loxonin to alleviate the pain?

I immediately purchased Loxonin at the pharmacy. One tablet can be taken up to twice a day.

I thought it would be better to take it before the symptoms appear, so I took one tablet during lunch and one tablet during dinner.

As a result, I was able to alleviate the pain significantly.

Although there is still some pain, I am happy that the symptoms have been significantly reduced compared to usual.

I wish I had taken Loxonin earlier.


昨年11月に風邪をひいて以来、毎週、土曜日の夜頃から体中が辛くなる症状が続いている。

普段から辛い症状のある背中や足、腰の炎症が一時的に酷くなるようだ。

折角の連休なのに気分が憂鬱になる。

対処方法を調べていたところ突然思いついた。ロキソニンを飲めば痛みを緩和できるのではないだろうか?

早速、薬局でロキソニンを購入した。1回1錠、二回がまで服用できる。

症状が出る前に服用したほうがよいと思い、昼食時に一錠、夕食時に一錠を服用した。

結果として、かなり痛みを緩和することが出来た。

多少は痛みがあるが、いつもと比較すると大幅に症状が緩和出来ているのはうれしい。

もっと早くロキソニンを服用すればよかったなーと思った。

February 18th

Today is Saturday, the first day of my holiday.

I usually wake up at 5:20, but on weekends I wake up a little later, just before 6:00.

It is now just before 7:30 and I am writing out my plans for the day over a cup of coffee.

I have a routine for Saturday mornings. First I brush my teeth and have a shower. As I plan to have a bath later, I also clean the bathtub.

Next, I get ready to do the laundry. However, it is too early to start the washing machine.

I fill the drum of the washing machine with hot water (60 degrees Celsius). This will help to remove the dirt and prevent any odours.

Then I take the rubbish out. I only take the rubbish out once a week.

I do all these things before I write in my diary.

Next I will study English and then go to the hospital at 9:00. Since the end of last year, I have been treated for cough variant asthma. As my symptoms have greatly improved, this may be my last visit.

After the hospital, I plan to go to the supermarket to buy food for the week.

When I get home, I will prepare lunch. I don't usually eat breakfast, so I'm looking forward to lunch.

After lunch I plan to have a nap. Later I might vacuum the room.

In my spare time, I will study English.

According to "Weather News", the highest temperature in Tokyo today will be 14 degrees Celsius. It's great to save electricity when the weather is warm.

I will try my best today too.

今日は土曜日、連休の初日です。

普段は5:20に起床するのですが、休日は少しだけ遅めの6:00前に起床します。

現在は7:30前、今日1日の予定をコーヒーを飲みながら書いています。

土曜日の朝はするべきことが決まっています。

まずは歯磨きをしてシャワーを浴びました。今日はお風呂に入る予定なので、ついでにバスタブの掃除も行いました。

それから洗濯の準備です。この時間は、まだ洗濯機を動かすには早いためです。

洗濯機のドラムに60度の熱湯を入れます。

熱湯でつけおき洗いをすると、汚れがよく落ちて臭いの防止になります。

それからゴミ出し。ゴミは一週間に一度だけまとめて出します。

以上の作業は、この日記を書く前にすでに終わりました。

この後、英語の学習と、9時になったら通院の予定です。

昨年末から、咳喘息の症状で通院中です。かなり症状は緩和されているので、今回の通院が最後になりそうです。

診断が終わったらスーパーへ、一週間分の食料品を買いに行こうと思います。

帰宅をしたら昼ご飯の準備です。普段、朝食は食べないので、お昼ご飯が楽しみです。

昼食を済ませたら、昼寝をしようと思います。

その後は掃除機で部屋を掃除しようかな。

空いている時間は、英語の学習です。

「Weather News」によると今日の東京の最高気温は14度、気温が暖かいと電気代を節約できるのでとても有難いことです。

今日もベストを尽くして頑張ります。

February 17th

I can't think of anything to write today, so I decided to write while moving my hands, hoping that ideas will come to me. Since I am the only reader of my blog, I don't really care what I write about.


Today is Friday, which is the most pleasant day of the week because it's the beginning of the weekend.


Although it's sunny in Tokyo today, it's a cold day. I leave my house at 6:20 every morning to go to work. The sun rises in Tokyo around 6:30 in the morning. Until recently, it was very dim at this time, but the brightness has increased significantly lately. Since it's almost March in half a month, I feel like spring is coming soon.


I've been struggling a lot with my electricity bill lately because it's very high. This month's bill was the highest ever. By the way, last month's bill was the highest ever, so it's a record high for two consecutive months. It's really scary. The high cost of utilities is a worldwide phenomenon and I don't see the end of it yet. I hope it gets warmer soon so I can save on heating costs.


I'm always thinking about what to do over the weekend, but in the end I don't do anything significant, and Monday is just around the corner. I'm still bad at using my time, no matter how old I am.


For the past 10 years, I've only taken showers and rarely used the bathtub. I want to take a bath once in a while, so maybe I'll take a bath tomorrow. I'll reuse the water I used for the laundry.


That's all for today. Good night. 


今日は書くことが思いつかない。考えていても仕方がないので、手を動かしながら考えることにした。適当に何かを書いていればアイディアが閃くかもしれない。

私のblogの読者は私自身なので、何を書こうとかまわないのだ。

今日は金曜日、土日は連休のため一週間で一番、気持ちが軽やかな曜日である。

今日の東京の天気は快晴ではあるが、厳しい寒さの一日だった。私は毎朝6:20に通勤のため家を出る。東京の日の出時間は6:30頃。少し前まで、この時間はとても薄暗かった。しかしここ最近、明らかに明るさが増している。あと半月で3月なので、春は間近であると感じる。

最近、電気代がとても高いのでとても困っている。今月の請求額はこれまでの最高額だった。ちなみにこれまでの最高額は先月の請求額だったので、2か月連続で記録更新中である。これはとても恐ろしいことだ。光熱費の高騰は世界的な現象なので、まだまだ先が見通せない。気温が暖かくなれば暖房を使用しなくても済むので、早く春になって欲しい。

連休は何をしようかといつも考えるのだが、結局大したことはせずに、あっという間に月曜日になってしまう。いくつになっても時間の使い方が下手なままだ。

この10年、シャワーばかり浴びていて湯舟に使ることは滅多にない。たまには湯舟に浸かりたいので、明日はお風呂に入ろうかな。使ったお湯は洗濯に二次利用することにしよう。

今日はこんな感じかな。おやすみなさい。

Death and rebirth 2

(continue)

The idea that it's important to make yourself happy comes from Mr. Hitoli Saito, a famous Japanese merchant.

I really like this idea.

If we can do that, we will always be happy.

Sometimes, things around us can make us feel unhappy.

In a spiritual way of thinking, there is a belief that your thoughts can affect what happens to you. It's the law of attraction.

Thinking positively can bring positive things, but thinking negatively can bring negative things.

It's better to think positively, like dreaming big or wanting to be successful.

If you don't feel very happy, try to do something that makes you feel good right away.

You can think of something you like or eat something that makes you happy.

It might be a good idea to think about your favorite idol.

For me, eating chocolate or drinking coffee would make me feel happy, but be careful not to eat too much or you might gain weight.


自分で自分の機嫌を取るという考え方は銀座まるかんで有名な斎藤一人さんによるものだ。

私はこの考え方がとても好きだ。

もしこの教えを実践出来れば、常に幸せな気分でいることが出来るだろう。

周囲の不快な状況に、気分が左右されるのは仕方がないことだ。

スピリチュアルな世界観に、幸せの法則というものある。これは自分の思考は宇宙に放射され、その思考に共鳴する現実を引き寄せてしまうというものだ。

ポジティブな思考はポジティブな現実を引き寄せるし、ネガティブな思考はネガティブな思考を引き寄せる。

どうせ引き寄せるなら、夢がかなうとかお金持ちになるとかポジティブな現実を引き寄せたい。

もし機嫌が悪いことに気づいたら、すぐに自分で自分の機嫌を取るように努力しよう。

そのために、好きなことや楽しいことを考えたり好きなものを食べて自分の機嫌を取ろう。

私の場合、大好きなチョコレートを食べたりコーヒーを飲むことで自分の機嫌を取ることが出来るだろう。ただし食べ過ぎて体重が増えると逆効果なので要注意だ。



Writing is fun.

I recently started updating my blog again, which I haven't done for a while. I want to improve my English writing skills by writing on my blog.

With the AI services that are currently popular around the world, it's easy to write in English.
It's a very comfortable world.
The AI services that I often use are ChatGPT and DeepL.
Both are excellent AI services, but I feel that the translation results are quite different.
Text can vary from person to person, and AI is probably the same.
I convert the finished text to an MP3 using an online service.
I download the converted MP3 to my smartphone and listen to it while I'm on the go.
Since I can learn English through the sentences I write, it's easy to understand and writing has become more enjoyable.
Eventually, I hope to be able to write directly in English without relying on Japanese.
It's possible to use an AI service to correct the English text I've written.
I adjust the Japanese to make it as easy as possible.
I may write more about my thoughts and feelings than about daily events.
It's very important to put your thoughts into words.
What should I write about today?

書くことは楽しい。
最近、以前から利用しているブログの更新を再開した。
