Usually cherry blossoms flourished on 6th of April, here it is just the sean of entrance ceremony in shcool, companies. This year it occurred one week ealier. Now unseasonally cherry blossoms flourished.
Several years ago the increase of infectious disease was predicted owing to the surge of temperature. Now the bacteria such as tuberculosis and tetanus were found in a backfin of some sea bream and the very person writing this journal was infected with such strong bacteria. Year by year the speed of global heating was accelarating.

In the past experience I had no good memories in marriage. The part of the reason has been that I change my partner in two or three years regularly. I don't think I marry someone again. Yet she hopes for me to marry her. I need to make allowances for her feeling too. Anyway it takes more time to the goal.

Love is fragile. I'm uncertain whether our relatitions keep on after one year, two years from now. If we have the same faith, that makes us bound together more tightly, in the case of a kid not fastened us.
I'm happy because she agreed to keep on our relations. But I suppose the burden is heavy if I had to marry her in consequences.

That completely makes sense since the word fornication in Latin means prostitution. If fornication means relationship between just unmarried couples, it is just fair and an ordinary one. When it means prostitution, I don't think it's a good idea.

Ths citizenship would be meant something when the state that bestowed citizenship to their citizens is strong in economy or military and also has a steady legal system, stable politics, especially American or British citizenship means a lot to the people of the rest of the world, because the infringement of the right of the people of these countries often invites a military intervention from them.

I was drunk and sentimental at the time I wrote this journal. I was about to reveal what I think I'm not supposed to reveal. Probably it might be a trivial matter for others, but as long as I think it matters a lot to me, I'd better not reveal.
Basically writers want to be valued only from their writings. Not through their backgrounds. If their background tells more than their articles, people ought to read their backgrounds. But often their backgrounds mislead people to misunderstanding or superficial understanding, and that's not what I want my readers to do.

For my part, I make it a rule to reveal what has been revealed to me regardless of whether those fit my worldview. Although in the first place I doubt whether I have a particular worldview on my own.

As far as I see there are three marriages which are legal marriage, marriage under some religion, and marriage under common law.
Almost all marriages are legel, but in order to have been legal, there needed some religious endorsement. Legal marriage keeps on unless both sign the divorce document even if long after the real marital life ceased or started living separately.
Legal marriage only regulate the economic status of both sexes. There are some times we ought to be legaly married even if we don't live together for a long time, even though we don't love physically, spiritually any more. I always wonder what marriage is.

One Japanese dime is made of copper. If the price of copper went up more than the value of one dime, people would start collapsing them, resulting in disappearing of the dimes. One Japanese cent is made of aluminium. Cents would be disappearing by the same reason if the price of this metal surged. In the end coins will be vanishing eventually, and I don't think it just a hypothesis in an imaginary world.

Oh, I see.
On the bank of Potmac River, there're many beautiful cherry blossoms. Those flowers are about to flourish soon in late March. The climate there must be similar since those trees were adopted well. We had a snowfall at the same day. We hope we have a similar cherry blossoms viewing about the same period.

Corolla means petals of flower in general according to the dictionary. But I didn't know the meaning unless I looked it up after I got curious in hearing the name of the popular car.
I just thought Carina is a woman name, and now I learned which also refers to a part of flower.

Camry, Carina, Corolla, Corona, Crown, Celica...
According to some speculation, Camry is thought to be derived from the similar Japanese word, means a lid, tiara or crown. Corolla is a derivative of corona, which is a Latin word for crown, so at least four words are from the same origin -crown.
I didn't know that. I knew corolla means petals in French, corona means nuclear reaction on the surface of the sun. But I had no idea all names are correlated. It is certain that all names are unfamiliar to traditional Japanese.

In many beliefs we are able to find a kind of repeatitiou words or phrases anyone doesn't care whose original meaning any more. In Christianity it's 'amen'.
In slashdot we have signatures on them own. At a glance we see someone's signature, we can see who wrote it without seriously thinking about the original meaning of those phrases.
Those phrases are short, but they describe the nature of a belief or a writer well.

Only for those several months in the past I was enthusiastic about playing a game. I didn't go out with any woman at that time. It's strange, I don't feel like playing the game any more even if it's free by using MESS emulator you told me. Money doesn't indicate the absolute value of something. It only indicates relative value. At that time it was worth while to spend that time and money. I don't have to spend money this time. But I feel mean in spending my time in games.

When I entered the university in 1983, the exchange rate of yen/dollar was $1 is equal to 250 yen, so when I said I intend to study abroad some people derisively pointing out saying simply I can't because I can't afford. But the rate abruptly started changing from 250 to 150 yen within one year from 1986 to 87. Needless to say it became much cheeper to stay in America than in Tokyo.
Japan's economic growth kept on from then on and when I started teaching in 1988, the exchange rate was around 130 yen. Japan's economy was called 'bubble' economy. It was much more inflated than the real economy. At that time I didn't feel I was spending too much money, the feeling I would have felt if it's now.
