The Secret of My Success

このご時世、いつ社内政治に巻き込まれ、槍玉にあげられるかはわからない。

独立をいつでも視野に入れなければ！！

NYに住む親友のCは医者を続けながら、MBA取得に頑張っているからな。

やる気出すために、「摩天楼はバラ色に」でも観よっと！！

Today, you never know when you get involved into politics in the company and you might have to exit... I gotta get ready to start up my own business no matter when it is. My boy, C works as a medical doctor as well as he has been pursue an MBA. I think I should watch "The Secret of My Success" to motivate myself!!

It Could Happen To You

昔、友達が遠距離恋愛の話の時に、

”遠くの10より近くの5”理論を説いてくれた。

要するに、遠くにいる大好きな人よりも、

近くにいるちょっと良い人に惹かれていくという人間心理。

海外生活が9年目になった今、この言葉の妥当性をつくづく感じるね

A friend of mine told me about long distance relationships that He called it "Nearby at 50% than Far away at 100%" theory. In short, you tend to get more attracted to a nice person living by you who you like a bit than a person living far away who you like a lot. This is my 9th year to live abroad. I totally agree with his theory.

It Had To Be You

歳を重ねるとどんどん恋愛に億劫になる。

経済力と経験が伴い、一人でも十分に楽しめる。

結婚に至っては、良い子に出会っても、

この子なら昔のAちゃんでも同じじゃん？

この子ならBちゃんで良かったんじゃん？

と、”結婚ボタン押せないスパイラル”に陥るよね。。。

 

When you get older, you will feel bothered to have relationships. Once you have enough experience and financial situation, you will be able to enjoy yourself alone. When it comes to a marriage, even if you meet a nice girl, you would think Miss A was like her or Miss B was better than her. You would always compare her with past relationships, then you will be in a vicious circle not to propose her.

 

It had to be you by Frank Sinatra

Jamaica Song

夏よ、終わらないでくれ～。

夏が一番高ぶる季節。

でも、東南アジアみたいにずっと暑くても滅入るよねｗ

Dear Summer,

 

Please do not end it. I love you so much.

I'm going to miss you a lot.

Hopefully, you will come to me again.

UFO

United Future Organization (aka UFO) がFlying Saucer (aka UFO) って言う曲作るなんてお洒落すぎだろ！って思った大学時代。

I thought it was so cool that United Future Organization (aka UFO) created Flying Saucer (aka UFO) in my college days.
