Writing a letter

Writing a letter makes my time very precious.
The time to feel my heart is beating and thinking about me and others.

Recently, I have been getting few letters.
I've noticed that the structure, contents and even message were messed up = no logical development.
I know that sometimes it's fine not to be logical, when you just want to let other people know you are thinking of her.

In the movie 'Norwegian wood', Mr. Watanabe wrote to Ms. Naoko what he has been thinking and asking her to answer him whether he did hurt her.

Letters (emails and blogs too!) can be one way just like a love.
Readers would get different message than the writers message.
We all have to keep it mind that not to give up communicating to find out the true message.

Maybe we are way too used to it to have too many short messages.
It's good opportunity for you to take time to write on Sundays.

Have a nice weekend!

Norwegian Wood / ノルウェーの森

I went to watch the movie 'Norwegian Wood' directed by Trần Anh Hùng.

Love is different to each person.
Love can't prove its value.

Each person just try to seek what he/she thinks it's love during one's lifetime.
Nobody is expected to have the same love.
Love is varied.

If you are comfortable with the love you receive, stay with it.
If not, then leave it.
No guilty.
Leaving may be a love too.

Love could be one way.
If you want to make it both ways, you respect and appreciate the other half's love it's style.
Love doesn't have to be matched.
There is no way to compare.

Do you wanna see me??
Do you wanna be with me??
It could be just that simple.
It could be just that a hope.
Don't you wanna see me??
Just wanna see you ...

In the movie, they expressed many kinds of love.
Innocence love, Game love, Physical love, Tolerate love, Responsible love....
It's all love they chose.
Everyone's love is different.

Some of the scenes were really beautiful and music was nice.
Still, I wish all my friends could understand Japanese for this movie.

Enjoy listening the music :)

Communication level

As most of you know I am a recruitment consultant.
What we do is to try expanding candidate's opportunities and get them a job.

Sometime even the job scope and requirements are bit different / difficult for the candidate, I still try to introduce the position.

Why?

It would be a good way to know their personality bit, when they look at the JD (job description).

Responses:
1. He gives a glance at the JD and it's title and check the name of the company and say 'sure! I wanna try!'

My internal feeling →'Do you know what kinda job, Maaan!?'

2. He reads each sentences carefully, and honestly shares what he can't do but positively he would say that he will try learning and like to apply if it's possible.

My internal feeling →'Good communication / analytical skill! He knows what he can do and can't. And he would try and work hard for further achievement.

3. Reading fast to find what he can't do or things not qualified and then say 'I am not qualified for this position since I can't do this one skill they are requesting'.

My internal feeling →'Hellooo?''I already knew that would be bit difficult, but wanted you to show the positive / trying/ learning attitude!'

I think that can convert to their girlfriend relationships;

#1 man: He cares her appearance and what she wears!
Communication skill level: Animal, Physical basis.

#2 man: Well balanced man. He might not be able to get her, but she will feel that he is sincere and secure. He can prove himself trying to build stable relationship with her, not with his selfish desire.
Communication skill level: Human

#3 man: He reserves himself, but checks everything about her. Predict in negative ways, give up by himself without trying. This type of guy gives many good reasons not to try so that he can protect himself being hurt.
Communication skill level: Talking with his barbie doll at home or virtual fantasy girl.

Which one are you?

中田　＆　前園　チャリティーサッカー

プレミア！とまで言われたチケット！
安い席で6ドルから高くて200ドル。
50分ですべてのチケットが完売だったと。。。

中田と前園がシンガポールで震災のためのチャリティー試合をしたのです。
日本はアルビレックスの2軍メンバーその他メンバーVSシンガポールのナショナルチームからの選抜メンバー。

この日に限ってなぜか異常に蒸し暑い。
同僚は上司命令で1時半から席取りに。。。
5時開幕って、私はマイペースに20分前着。
それでも、まだ暑い。

後半戦になって徐々に風がふきだして、、、
そんなころ、後半戦から出場の中田が見事に美しいゴール！！！！
素晴らしい！！！
スタジアム総立ち！さすがに興奮しました！！！！

ちょうど目の前にゴールがあって、
小さなスタジアムなので、とても近い！
プレーヤーのお互いの掛け声や、ちょっとしたことがすべて伝わるのがまた面白い。

震災Charity Soccer in シンガポール

日本VSシンガポール
７対２で日本圧勝！
普通のサッカーの試合ではありえない数字よね！

だって、後半戦は小学生を出場させ、シュートを決めさせたり、
企業の社長がS$3,000の寄付をして、5分間だけ出場したり、
やっぱりチャリティーイベント！

海外に居るほど日本人ってこと意識するけれど、
これだけ多くの日本人が一同に集まるって、
シンガポール来て以来初めてかもなぁ～。

ヒデを間近で見れた上、募金もでき、これはかなり良い時間でした！
