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.

Miyako Autumn Festival 2016

For Miyako Autumn Festival 2016, Adam and Patricia were practicing taiko drum to participate to the Yamaguchi Taiko Drum demonstration.  When I was watching their demonstration, I could find Patricia, but Adam.  I was looking around for him so hard, but I could not find him at all.  I thought he might be feeling sick and he could not make it.  BUT, later, I found that he was on the other side of the mikoshi shrine.  That was shame that I could not capture his taiko drum playing in the video.   When I was browsing around, I saw one of my classmate from my junior high school. She was about to play one of the games, kan-otoshi, there.   The rule of kan-otoshi game is that you throw a bag full of sands to the cans to knock them down.  Then, you get prize according to how many cans you knock down.  More cans you knock, bigger prize you get.      Classmate:  Hey, what if I make all of them fallen dow...
