ID Photo

I needed 2 ID photos.
So, I went to one of the photo booth to take my pictures.
The photo booth machine have the different sizes in one sheet and the one sheet costs 800 yen.
 


The size I needed was the biggest one on the top left on the image above.  However, they have one big one and two of the middle size ones together, but I did not need the middle size ones.  That means I have to take my picture twice in order to get the 2 biggest ones.  
I was like 
    


It's ridiculous to pay 1,600 yen for the 2 ID photos, I thought.
So, this is what I did.  
I went back to my office, and took my selfie with my smartphone.  
I saved it as draft on gmail, so I can open it in PC as well. 
Then, I download my selfie picture and edited on pixlr, the free online photo editor, to adjust the size of the photo. 
After I re-size the photo, I saved it on my USB drive, so I can take it to one of the convenience store to print it out.  
It worked out just fine.  

   
   
As you can see on the receipt, it only cost 30 yen to print it out.  
So, I saved 1,570 yen.   
Yay,

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.

The Coffee Vending Machine

   When I was buying a cup of coffee from the vending machine, it made a big sound and shook itself a little.  It sounded like somebody inside hit his/her head somewhere there.  I was so curious but I was not brave enough to peep inside the machine because I had a feeling that if I peep inside, he or she inside would be attacking my eyes.

Hospital Day (6)

I was about to get back to my work, then the English teacher company called me again said "hey, Ito.  You have time?  We got the English teacher who need to go to the hospital."  I was like      I thought they were joking.   But neither they were joking nor I was in the movie.  So, this time, I was taking the male English teacher to the hospital.  He got black toe nail and other finger nails were turning into black color too, but he did not remember he hit anything with his toe or his shoes had been too tight.   The doctor was examining his toes, however, he could not find what had caused his toe nails turned into black color.    So, the doctor took the nail file and started filing English teacher's toe nail.   Guess what?  The color just came off!!    He did not have to take any medicine, but he had to pay for the examining  That cost him about 2,500 yen.   ...
