How many times does your smartphone reboot a day?

Many people would answer “No!” or “not a day, but a week” to this question,

However with regard to my smartphone,
The answer is many times a day.
The number of reboot has been increasing day by day!
This model is for overseas,
The quality is not as good compared to Japanese model.
For example, look at the photo,

You can see only “O” , The rest of character have been stripped.

Since I bought this four month ago,
It is early to replace it.

I will try to do something to stabilize this.

One is to replace microSD card.
Two is to initialize it.
Three is to upgrade Android OS from 4.3 to 4.4.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Do not talk about blood type!

Japanese like to talk about blood type.
However there is no scientific evidence about this matter.

Every time I hear this kind of story,
I think “Here you go again idiot!”

They repeat same things over and over again.
They just do not have other topic to talk.
They are so dumb that they can’t find other proper topic.

In short,
They are ignorant and stupid and dull people.
At least I recommend you avoid this topic with me ,
Otherwise I start to regard you as one of the most stupid people I’ve ever met.

“Mochi” is more dangerous than “Konnyaku-batake”

Yesterday,I heard the news that two people were dead because of suffocation when they ate “mochi”.

It is very sad thing that same kind of incident happen every year.
However in spite of the danger, appropriate measures are not taken!

One reason is that people don’t know the fact that “Mochi” is ranked as No.1 food related suffocation death.
While “Konnyaku-Jelly” is ranked as No.4.

In the past,
“Konnyaku-batake”, which is made from “Konnyaku” was attacked from the media when the child was dead.

Since then, the label that indicates the risk is affixed to the product.

I think Mochi companies should display same label.

Swans and Ducks

I went to the pond where swans come every winter.
The pond is located in Kawashima Town.
It takes 40 minutes from my home.
There, many swans and ducks were swimming in the pond.
When I pretended to feed them,
Ducks were approaching me!
It was so cute to birds lovers!
But feeding is prohibited, because it may weaken their ability to find food by themselves.
During daytime, swans go to other places to find food, I recommend you come here in the morning or evening.

Habits in order not to catch a cold

Every winter I catch a cold at least once.
This winter I already had it November.
My friends also had it too.

In my case, the symptoms continue sore throat, fever, nose, and cough.
It takes more than two week to recover from it completely.
How wasteful it is!

I made up my mind not to catch a cold anymore!
To prevent a cold.
I try to do these habits listed below.

1. Gargle using a mouthwash.
2. Using mask when sleeping.
3. Sow the towel on the neck in order to protect the throat.

Is there any suggestions other than these?

Group action should be avoided!

During today lunch,
Over twenty people entered tiny indian restaurant where we usually use.

There was nothing but chaos.
In addition to many people, They brought very big musical instruments, but there is not enough space to place them.
It took ten minutes for all of them to sit down.
They kept the door open.

Many people around the door whispered that it was too cold!
I also wanted to say “hey you! close the door , wait outside, it is cold!” however since I’m japanese, I could not.
Or I should have said it in English pretending to be a foreigner.

Why didn’t they have any lunch plan in advance?
If your party is over ten people, I think you should reserve some place to eat lunch!

Magic hand

I saw students gather near the train.
I thought they were too close to the train and very dangerous.

After train left,I found out the reason.
One of the students dropped her belongings.

In that case, All you can do is to call station staff and wait until he or she pick it up.
I remembered that a woman dropped her shoe by accident.
She had to wait in one leg.

Several minutes later, Station staff arrived, Unfortunately there was another train approaching to the station.
He had to wait and I could not see the rest.

In general, Station staff use a magic hand just as Taku Hachiro used before.
but it is three times longer than a normal magic hand.
Usually it is installed in the pillar of the station.
