Stationery

OK, let's talk about stationery *LOL*
My favorite stationery is this pen.
This "ceramic (the name of the pen)" is produced by Kyocera.
 

 
 
I really did not care what I used for writing or taking note.
But, this pen made me different.  For the first time I wrote with this pen, it's like "DARN, GIRL."
It's very smooth on the paper and it feels almost like fountain pen.
Actually, you can see how people think of this pen from the reviews at Amazon.

I did not know how much this pen was until I looked for the ink refill (yes, I used up the whole ink.)
The pen itself costs about 1,300 yen, and refill ink is about 400 yen.  It's pretty expensive for a pen.
If you go to the 100 yen store, you can buy 10 pens for 100 yen.
So, 1,300 yen, you can buy like 130 pens.  
I still choose this one single pen, ceramic, rather than 130 pens from 100 yen store.
It's that good.  

I found this pen when I was cleaning my parents' house.
In one corner of the house, there were many cardboard boxes piled up, and those were filled by books, dishes, clothes, so on.
It did not look good, so I started opening those boxes, and separating them into the same categories.
Shoes, bags, T-shirts, expired canned foods, bottled waters, wines, books, papers..
many things came out from the boxes.
I felt it like I was doing treasure hunting; It was fun.

I found the pen in the very bottom box.
I thought nobody would use this pen for another 100 years even if it's there, so I took it with me.
Later, I confirmed with my parents if I could use the pen, but they even did not remember how or from who gave it to them.

Don't Drive and INGRESS

INGRESS is an interesting smartphone game and I have been playing months now. What is INGRESS?  Here's a wiki. Ingress (game) via Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingress_(game) Players have to move around their towns for this game, so some players walk, another players use their bikes, and others drive. But you have to be very careful when you play this game and drive your car at the same time. When you get caught by watching smartphone while your are driving, you will get 1 penalty point on your driver's license and also the ticket cost you 6,000 yen. How do I know about it?

[PolitiC@Nippon] Ryukougo Taisho 2016: Japan’s Most Vogue Words of the Year

Ryukougo Taisho is one of the unique events of Japan. In the end of the year, they choose the buzzing words that everyone is using them in common during the year from TV shows, dramas, news, so on. (Sometime, it's not really used in common, but they pick those words anyway.) Last year, they chose some words from from politic, such as Abe Seiji wo Yurasanai (or "We won't tolerate Abe's politics") SEALDs, the "youth (well, there are some young folks but mostly old folks in their 60s and 70s) group" going against to Abe's politics) and so on.

I got banned from facebook AGAIN for a week.

Facebook banned me of posting and sharing on timeline, sending messages, and like button for any post for a week.  Right now, what I can do on facebook is only to login.            I asked what I did wrong to get banned to the help desk, but they have not replied me anything yet.    What I did right before I had got banned was re-activating one of my pages about discussing the differences between the facts and the fake news on fake medias.        Well, these are my new pages:    Please give your "like" on my pages.  You will be receiving tons of update (since those pages are updated by bots) from the pages, but you can hide them too.
