先週末から家族でお昼ご飯を地元の公園で食べようという計画がもちあがっていたので、
今日はルーカスの散歩がてら、片道１時間ほどかかる公園まで足を運んだ
お母さんの作った炊き込みご飯、サラダとシフォンケーキを持って

先週末はゴッツ晴れて春らしい気候やったのに、
今日はあいにくの曇りで、
天気予報では午後３時頃から傘閉じマーク（←開いてるけど）
でも３時まで帰って来れればそれでいいので、
そのまま出発

せっかくバトミントンしよ思って、
ラケット持っていったのに、
誰かさんがはねを忘れたり、
公園に着いて、さあお昼食べよって時に、
フォークがなかったりで、
ちょっとグダグダやったけど、
工夫して楽しくお昼を頂きました

でも何か１人寂しげな表情
He looks so sad.



うちが食べてる炊き込みご飯が欲しそう
Wants my rice ball that I have in my hand.



欲し〜い口の回り土だらけですけど。
Give me some! Just to let you know.... you have dirt around your mouth.



今日は久しぶりに家族全員でルーカスの散歩／ピクニックに行けて、いい時間でした。
またいい天気の日に行けるといいな

From last weekend,
there was a plan of going to the park for a picnic to have lunch with my family,
so today,
taking Lucas for a walk,
we went to a park that takes about one hour for one-way.
We took flavored rice, salad and a cake that our mom made, with us.

Last weekend was a beautiful weather and felt like spring was coming,
but today was unfortunately cloudy.
The weather forecast even said that it would rain around 3p.m.
Well that's not big of a problem if we come back by 3,
so we departed our house at about quarter past 12.

While heading for the park,
we realized that we forgot to bring the blade with us though we had the rackets,
and when we got to the park and sat down to eat our lunch,
another thing we forgot.... the fork.
Too bad we forgot the fork,
but we wisely devised how to eat our lunch and had a very nice time.

While we're eating a delicious lunch,
there's one creature that looks a little unhappy.
See the picture??

It's been a while since we went to take Lucas for a walk/picnic as a whole family.
Today was a lovely day and I hope we could go again on a more sunny day.

昨日左耳だけピアスが入らなくて、
クリニックに電話すると決めてブログ書き終えたのに、
その後もウジウジ

同じようなことで悩んでる人達の対処法をパソコンで検索して、
何個か掲示板を拝見してたら、
薄い皮やったら自力でプスッと貫通させてる人の意見が目について、
自分もピアスの先が見えるくらい薄い皮だったので、
他の人が出来るんなら、自分も出来ると勇気を出して、
ファーストピアスで慎重に貫通させた

貫通して安心したと同時に正直めっちゃ恐かった
でもこれで電車代ういた

これから風呂入る時もつけたままにしとこう
２４時間装着しとかな

掲示板読んでたら、ピアス穴が安定するのに５年かかったっていう人もおったからなぁ
穴が安定する期間は人によるらしいけど、長い人もいることを忘れないでおこう

うちなんかまだピアス開けてから２カ月も経ってないねんから、
頻繁にピアスつけたりはずしたりしたらあかんね
ゆっくり様子見ながらピアスを楽しもう

Yesterday I was freaking out, about my pierce not going into my pierce hole,
and I finished writing this blog making up my mind to call the clinic the next day.
But though it seemed like I concluded this matter by writing it in my blog,
it kept me to be worried.

So I went to my computer,
opened up the internet and checked out what other people say,
who has the same worries.
I skimmed several internet billboards,
and some said that whenever they formed a thin skin over their pierce hole,
they tear through the skin pushing the tip of the pierce forcibly.

Knowing that some people succeed, doing it that way,
I felt that I could do it too if others can.
So I encouraged myself and challenged it.

Yeaaaaahh!
It went through.
At the same time I was relieved with success,
it gave me fright that I did that kind of thing myself.
But good thing I don't have to spend money riding a train to go to the clinic anymore.

From now on, I won't take off my pierce when I take a bath.
Keep it on for 24 hours.

Reading the internet billboard,
I read comments that for some people takes 5 years for their hole to get stable.
The length it takes for the pierce hole to get stable differs individually,
but I'll keep in mind that there are cases that take very long.

My pierce hole hasn't even got to 2 months since I opened it,
so I have to be careful not to change my pierce too frequently.
Well I'll enjoy my pierce step by step.

何でぇ
左耳にピアスが入らなくなってる〜〜

いつもお風呂入る前、
ピアスがさびたらあかん思って、
いつも外して入ってんねんけど、
たった２０〜３０分の入浴で、
耳の裏側に薄〜い皮ができとるやないか〜い

どんだけ耳治癒力高いねん
脚とかの傷はなかなか治らんくせに
治らんでいいとこ治る

初めての経験やから、こんな焦ってるけど、
所詮薄い皮やし、
消毒した針でぷすっといっちゃえばいいんかな
でもさっきピアスでやろうとしたら、
若干痛かったし

びびって自分でできない
何か大げさやけど、明日クリニック電話しよか


Nooooooooooooo!!
Why??
My pierce hole on my left ear is about to close!

I always take off my pierce before I take a bath,
to prevent it from getting rusty.
Just 20 or 30 minutes taking a bath.
There was a thin skin formed on the back side of my earlobe
Like how strong is my healing power!

The scars on my leg don't even go away when I need it to.
Why does it always turn out to be like this, when I'm not desiring it to happen.

It's my first experience encountering a situation like this,
and I'm in a bind,
but maybe this isn't a thing you should get too worried about.
After all, it's just a "thin" skin covering the pierce hole.
Just stab through it with a sterilized needle.
But I tried that with my pierce and it hurt a little.....

Yes I'm a coward!
Can't do it with my own hands.
Sounds a little exaggerating but maybe I'll call the clinic tomorrow.

犬の散歩に行った以外、今日は一歩も外に出とりません
引きこもり状態
基本用事がなければ、家の中でぬくぬくしとる。
楽を好むのはしゃあないよねぇ
毎日予定作るっていうのも結構難しいし

でも春休みに入る前に決めた日課は地味に続けてる。

・ちゃんと自分で起きれるようになる為に、就寝時間と起床時間を記録
・朝は必ずJapan Timesの記事最低一個読む
・毎日のカロリー計算外食の時は破綻してるけど
・ルーカスの散歩以外の有酸素運動を毎日１時間確保する
・風呂上がりに腹筋、背筋、腕立て各３０回
・寝る前にCNNニュース聞く

本間にパッとしないことばっかり
習慣になってくると毎日が同じで、
単調な１日に感じるけど、
これを続けたらいいことがあると信じて、やってる。
継続は力なり

でも今しか出来ないこともあるやろし、
もっと外に出て活発にいろいろ経験してみるのもいいんやろなぁ
でも外に出ると何かと出費も多い
だからバイトしろって感じやけど、
なかなかパチンコ以外の短期バイト見つからんし、
長期でやったとしても授業始まったら両立出来る自信がない
大学生でバイトやってる人も多いし、
無理ってことはないかもしれんけど、
ってどういう選択肢が正しいのかやってみないと分からないことが多くて、
頭の中で考えだしても切りがないわぁ〜

しかし、今やってる日課もこういう時間のある時にしか出来ないしね〜。
どっちも捨て難い
なかなか答えが出そうにないっす

Other than taking my dog for a walk,
I haven't gone out, even one step from the house.
I mostly stay indoors if I have no plan going out.
Love staying in the cozy house.
Can't help myself choosing an easier option.
And it's hard to always have set schedule.

But I'm doing the routines that I imposed myself before entering spring break.

・recording the time I go to bed and the time I get up, to guide myself to be able to wake up
on my own
・to always read at least one article of Japan Times
・record my everyday calorie. Well, it definitely fails when I go out and eat.
・do an one hour aerobic exercise, other than my dog's walk
・do sit ups, push ups and back extension 30 times each, after a refreshing bath
・listen to CNN news before I go to bed

Though I'm continuing these routines,
once this becomes a habit,
it turns out to be so monotonous and inconspicuous.
But I believe that it would bring me some kind of progression for an exchange.
Endurance will become a big power.

I know that there are things that you can only do at this age,
and that I should be more aggressive and go out to experience new things that I don't know.
But usually, there are unexpected expenditure when you go out
Then why shouldn't I do a short term job??
Because I can't find one other than working at a pachiko,
and if I start working as a long term worker,
it would be incompatible for me to do both work and class work.
I don't have confidence in this matter
I know that there are many university students that do part time jobs,
and understand that it's not impossible,
but this issue would never be solved just thinking about it in my mind.
Just got to try it once practically.

The things I'm doing now as a routine is another thing that I can only do at this moment when have time.
It's really hard to know what decision is best.
This will take long to get an answer.

今日小さいながらも、朝地震がありましたねぇ
震度
ちゃんと気づいて起きて、
パッと携帯を見てみると６時４９分
そのまま起きようかなぁと思ったけど、
「今１階におりて、さらにおっきい地震来て１階が潰れてしまったら・・・」
とか考えてたらちょっと恐なって再び眠りに
結局起きたの８時

いつもと変わらない午前を過ごし、
昼食後はランニングへと出発
前回１時間を目標にしていたのに、
結局５０分でリタイアしてしまったので、
今回は１時間ちゃんと走ろうと思ってランニングスタート

地元の川沿いをぐるぐる走り回るだけやけど、
自分で決めて走ってるコースは一周約３kmくらい。

最初の一周が一番きつい
まだ2kmも走ってないうちに右足のアキレス腱周辺が張ってきて、
「これでほんまに１時間走り続けられるん」
と不安に思いながら、
「１周終わった、２周終わった」と、
周を重ねていくごとに何かちょっとやる気が出てくる

もう３周目になってくると、
さっきまで違和感のあったアキレス腱も治ってて、
出だしさえ乗り切れば、後は大丈夫って分かった
前回は５０分（３周）で終わったけど、今回は１時間（４周）走れたぁ

そういえば、
基礎栄養学の教科書に何で運動し始めの時に筋肉が張るか書いてあった
筋肉が活動し始めるときは酸素の供給が不十分（嫌気的）で乳酸が生成し、筋肉に蓄積される。
でも筋肉をしばらく動かしてると血流が増えて、
酸素の供給が十分（好気的）になって乳酸ではなく、ピルビン酸が生成されて、
エネルギーを産生出来るようになる。

そういうことなんかな
まだ全然関連づけて考えられないなぁ
まだまだ勉強しなあかんぞ

This morning, small, but there was an earthquake.
An intensity of 2.
Though it was a small earthquake, I woke up and checked my mobile phone and confirmed it was 6:49a.m.
I thought of getting out of my bed since I woke up,
but considering a bigger earthquake might come when I'm downstairs (my bedroom is in the second floor), it made me scared that I might get buried under the second floor.
So I decided to sleep again.
The eventual time I woke up was 8a.m.

The morning passed by,
doing nothing much.
But after lunch, I went out for jogging.
Last time, I was running for a goal of one hour but gave up at the point of 50 min.
So this time I told myself strictly to run for an hour.

I just run along the local river around and around.
The course I run is about 3km per lap.

The first lap is the hardest.
My muscles near the Achilles' tendon starts to hurt when I'm still at 2km.
It's really doubtful if I could run for an hour at that point.
But as I finish my laps,
I get a stronger feeling that i can run another lap and it makes me move.

When it came to the 3rd lap,
my Achilles' tendon weren't even aching anymore.
I guess, if you get over the hardest lap,
your running would become stable.

Now i remember of reading this kind of thing in my basic nutrition text book.
The start of the exercise is under a condition of insufficient oxygen,
so lactic acid generates and stocks into your muscles.
But continuous exercise would put you to a condition of sufficient oxygen,
so instead of lactic acid, pyruvic acid generates,
and becomes to be able to produce energy.

I wonder if I'm doing the right thinking.
This makes me realize that I still don't have the ability to relate the knowledge I've learned in different classes.
Still have a lot to learn.
