Crazy for Niconicodouga

Because my cough became worse, I stayed at home almost all the day. I have to study bookkeeping hard but I couldn't keep my concentration today. So I watched Nikonikodouga from afternoon.

One of my favorite contents is captureing games. I mean that you can see the display which some professional players play a certain game, for example Dragonquest and Mario and so on. Originally I loved to play TV game in childhood and I sometimes play TV game when I returned my hometown now. I used to be said I am crazy TV game player but even such me, this contents in Niconicodouga surprised!

Once I watched this streaming image, I urged to play TV game for a while. I wonder I returned my hometown soon. By the way I'm thinking to buy new software in DS. After finishing test, I will carry my foot to game shops

Maebashi

I returned to hometown today because I'd been to Maebashi to lecture some softwares for clients. As I say Maebashi, it took 20 minutes to go from station to seminar place by bus. Recently I'd been several places around Kanto area to lecture for clients.

In fact, it was hard day because I got down with cough from last week. But once I stood at platform and started explaining some softwares, I forget that I feel sick. Originally it was not a problem for me to speak in public but due to many lecture, I became to get accoustomed to speak in business situation.

I felt sick a little again on my way home. I waited for my mother around half and an hour at Udon shop with studying book keeping. Well, this environment that I can return my hometown is good for me. I stayed at my home as it is, and commuted to my company from hometown.

My first arriving at Niigatga

I went to Niigata today. As for Niigata, I associate a lot of snow but there were no snow near the Niigata station. I passed through Echigayuzawa on the way to Niigata but then I saw a lot of snow. I took a picture as usual.. It seemed that not all places in Niigata had a lot of snow.

In Niigata, I have a friend I knew him at university. Though I wanted to meet him for a while, my friend couldn't finish his work on time. It seems I have to come to Niigata in March so I hope to meet him next time.

In fact, I had a fever last night. After work, I felt chill and lazy in my body, so I think I got flu! Fortunately that seems wrong because my fever was down when I woke up in the morning. I should be careful not to get flu and other sickness. In this business trip I couldn't do something special of Niigata but my client introduced me some traditional dishes at bar. It was flied thick tofu, another name is Aburaage. But Nigata's one was thicker than that of Tokyo. I thought I watched curious thing.

===================================================

もともと合格率の高い試験であり、内容も非常に吸収しやすいものばかりだったので、勉強期間は約3～4週間という短期間で臨みましたが無事合格しました。よかった！

内容はある程度は常識で解ける問題も多く、学生時代に理科や現代社会などが好きだった人は特に対策などしなくても5割くらいはとれるんじゃないでしょうか？たとえ理科など全然勉強していない人でも問題付きの参考書を買って1か月やれば多くの人が合格レベルに達するのではないかと思います。重要なのは全体の試験範囲をまず確認してECO検定で問われる問題の形式を理解したら、あとは暗記です。時事問題なども含まれるのでこれは勉強してても勉強してるという気があまりしないかもしれません。テキストを1冊買って、まず1周する（内容理解と付属の問題演習をやる）。2周目はよくわからなかったところや線を引いたところを重点的に反復して確認していけばよいのではないでしょうか？試験はすべて選択式なので用語を完全に覚える必要もないし、試験に受かるという観点ならばニュアンスが理解できていればOKです！

ただECO検定で覚えた知識は、それなりに短期間で詰め込んだがゆえに、忘れるのも早いです。ぜひこの試験の受験を気に生活にECOを取り入れてみてはいかがでしょうか？自分で実践すれば忘れにくいし、これほど実生活で役にたつ資格はないかもしれませんね！パークアンドライドとかこの試験で初めて知りましたが、結構使ってますよ（笑）

試験当日はこちら

IIas in Tsukuba

I went to IIas at Tsukuba Kenkyuuagkuen station. It was built recently and it seemed this shopping mole is the largest in Tsukuba. It includes Toyzarus and movie theather. Besides You can see museum displayed science products.
Because I supporsed to cook nabe for dinner, I bought recipe of Kimuchinabe there.

By built such a large shopping place in Tsukuba, the main place to gather people may change. At any rate, I could say it is great many building were built in vacant space on and on along with TsukubaExpress.

Health check

I took a periodic health check at company today and I was shocked about my weight. My weight gained aroung 4 kilogram comparing with last time. Well, I knew my weight gained recently because I checked my weight everyday. But it seemed the bathroom scale was broken.

Now because it is winter, I couldn't sweat abundantly and I have rarely chance to play sport. So I supporsed to change my diet and juice from now. I always had ice cream after lunch and besides I had many junkfood as snack. To improve this diet, I 'll have lunch to the full and I deny snack as possible as I can. Because my basal metabolism was excellent I think, maybe I would be thin in a month. One thing I worried about was decrease my basal metabolism by I became old.

Snow scenes

I went to Hokkaido for a day. I could see beautiful scenes which was covered by snow. In fact this was first time to see snow in this winter. Does it mean global warming is progressing? At any rate it seemed we rarely see snow aroung Tokyo recently. For this reason, this business trip was impressed me.

I introduced my new coat because of this business trip in those day, but it wasn't colder than I thought. I had never been to Hokkaido in winter, so I didn't know the world which is under minus 5 degree. But today was around minus 2 degree, so I had experienced it. Well, originally it will be good thing it didn't cold...

After work, I met my peer and went to eating dinner. My friend taught me good Chinese noodle places and sunvenior shops. The Chinese noodle I ate was good because of some thick roast porks. There are still many place I want to see in Hokkaido. Someday I will come to this place as private, and go sightseeing freely.

Stock seminar Ⅲ

I joined a stock seminar today. I sometimes joined it from last years because I felt it is worth studying to know the trend of economy and I　want to try investing a little.

There are some types seminar, some are free and others are pay seminar. I always joined a free seminar and it is enough for me! It is important to see timing in investment. Now it seems that business prospects are somber at a glance but some companies pull together. So you can find a company we should invest if you have a power of good analysis.

As for me... I'm still going to keep waiting for a while. But in fact I urge to start investing.

Mahjong battle

I played mahjong with company member. Last time I badly defeat, so I don't be allowed to loss again. But to unfortunately I lost all my points at first battle and I got two series of losing from then.

Uhh... Was my luck fallen without notice? Totally, I won because of three series of winning from third battle but I didn't satisfy today's way of mahjong. I may need some practices.

Drinking party at Shout

This is a special meeting party in SHOUT. Members who belonged to SHOUT primally gathered once in a year and drinking in this party. But because some members were in different places far from Tokyo, it is difficult for us to meet every year. In this time, three members could gather and drunk at Ueno.

One of memeber married last yaer and supporsed to perform marriage in this June. I think this is a good chance to meet old SHOUT members to meet
again. The meeting broke up around 10. I lifted my aim that I hold SHOUT much more times than last year. I want to make a chance to meet most of the Shout member!
