SANPELLEGRINO / SANPELLEGORINO

I just drank it in a cafe. I thought the name was “sanpelleOrino”, but it was actually “sanpelleGrino”. The shape of “G” is a bit special and similar to “O”, so I just misjudged.

Maybe it is not unusual drink, but since I have never seen it in Japan, it is exotic for me and tastes better than other sparkling fruit drink. It is not so strongly carbonated, so it feels subtle and sensitive.

The following site, although it is in Japanese, introduces a lot of useful information about 3ds max, most of which contains sources in English.

How to motivate myself?

How to motivate yourself?

This is one of my largest problems I have now. I have to find a work placement for my next academic year, but actually I’ve just sent my CV to few companies.

My methods of motivating myself are:
1. Change the place/ mood
2. Don’t think too much

Basically my character tends to be too careful about anything, so when I need to take some action, I try to think it is not a big thing if I make a mistake. However, they don’t work well so far. Maybe now is the time to learn a new way to solve the problem.

Fujita vs. Thompson

I bumped into a video of MMA.
This is really exiting and shows the lesson that you should never give up.

Fujita used to be one of few heavy-weight Japanese MMA fighters who could compete with fighters of other countries. I don’t know who’s the next generation.

The Royal Tenembaums

I haven't updated it for a long time. I'd like to start it again to improve my English writing.

I watched “The Royal Tenenbaums”. I watched it before, so it is actually the second time. To be honest, I almost forgot what I felt when I saw it at the first time. I felt it much better this time. I might have become more mature to be able to understand what the good point of the film is. The loneliness of Royal was the key point for me. He tried to be funny, positive and humorous, but he’s lost his family and there must have been loneliness. This film seems to be about compensation and forgiveness.
