音時雨 ～Regentropfen～

Damn, I’m not accustomed to type a new year’s number each time. It happens in the very beginning of EACH YEAR.
Well, anyway, here I am. I don’t want to be a bad blogger. I just read my previous blog entries, and I realized that I wrote much more before. What I found as well was my English in that time was so unreadable.
Thus why I’m here, typing madly on Microsoft Word. I’m going to write something important issues I need to do in this year.
Well… I know, such thing should be better done in the first day of the whole year or the last day in the old year. However, today is just the third day, and actually, I did the similar thing in the fifth day in the last year. It would not be that bad in this case, I THINK!!

Okies, now, the main part of this post:
My 2010’s to-do list.

1) Do more research: I need to figure out why my experiments didn’t work though. Then I’ll work more on it. And, in this summer, I need to think on whether or not I should leave here to fetch my PhD. I may transfer myself to a PhD program within 2 years, but the earlier I decide (even though I would change my mind afterwards), the better.
2) Pass the level 7 driver’s license exam. To be able to drive a car is very, very important.
3) Learn more German, French, and Italian if possible. As you know, I like to learn languages. I want to be multilingual. I’ve started to learn some German in the last year, but I was just pause and pause again by some reason. Recently I have just finished re-reading the lessons I’ve already learned, and in this year, I hope I can learn more without much serious pausing. Also, French is another language I want to learn; plus that French is also an official language of Canada, it’s more necessary to learn it. For Italian, I just want to learn it for singing, so it’s not very prior to the other two languages.
4) To check for if KOKIA will go to Europe in this year. And if so, find a chance to GO TO EUROPE!!!!! Omg, I just love Europe more than any other places, and I love KOKIA more than any other (modern) artists!!!
5) Post more. I just like to see my own writing stuff on my own blog with my self-designed template. Kinda narcissistic, huh? But, that’s what I do like!
6) Start my story. I started it in 2008 winter and halted in 2009 spring. orz. This time, I can’t stop anymore, I want to continue; I want to finish MY STORY!!! -___-
7) Sing/draw more. Hmmm… no comments for it. xD

That’s all I can think up currently. Yes, yes, I know sometimes to write down your to-do list for a whole year is stupid, because you can always ignore what you’ve said before and change your plan at any time. But…
A new year HAS TO have a good start, right?

I tried my first bottle of ramune today.
I found it in a Korean/Japanese food shop. There were three kinds: melon, watermelon, and strawberry. I took the strawberry one without hesitation. Hmm, you know why, don’t you?
Since the moment I found that, the song “piano” by FictionJunction YUUKA was haunting around my mind all the time.

It took me a bit time to figure out how to open it. (The fact was: I ignored to read the instruction on the seal, and finally realized that after getting my fingers hurt, orz.)
The taste was good. I love strawberry favour anyways. But after a happy drinking, I was in trouble of how to take the marble out. The simplest way should be to break the bottle, but I really didn’t want to do so.

So, I went to wikipedia. It says that recent ramune bottles have plastic caps. You may turn the cap clockwise and the marble can be taken out. However, it just seemed that my hands had no enough strength to open it, and even with the help of a spoon, fork, knife, scissors, wrench, the plastic cap just stuck on the glass and didn’t fall off. At last, chinks went upon the glass after a firm holding of the wrench.
Seemed I broke the bottle already, huh…?
Fine, there was nothing more difficult than what happened in that case.
I warped the bottle in a piece of cloth, then gave the thing a gentle-yet-strong hit.
Klang!
The bottle, as what you can imagine, was broken.
I didn’t keep the bottle, but at least, I got my trophy, a ramune-marble.

inspired by KOKIA's songs 'I believe ~umi no soko kara~' and "il mare dei suoni"
