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.

Blogs and AdSense (2)

Blogs and AdSense http://itoshunsuke.blogspot.jp/2015/07/blogs-and-adsense.html     When I see my Adsense page today, I see some numbers!! *Yay* Last time I open this page after years about 10 days ago, I found that I had made only 78 yen, and other numbers on the list were zero yen. But now, I see "+224 yen!!" This is GOOD. I will donate whatever I make from my blogs to the city of Miyako. Then, hopefully the city of Miyako will let people know by saying "The blogger, Ito Shunsuke, from Miyako has donated 10,000 yen!!" on city paper. So, I will get more traffic, and it will make even more money. Then, I probably can donate 100,000 yen next year, and 1,000,000 yen for the following year, so on. When it reach to 10,000,000 yen, I will say       *LOL*

Portals in Miyako (1)

By playing INGRESS, the smartphone game, sometime it takes me to the places of cultural significance, such as public art, landmarks, monuments, etc. where I have never been or seen even in Miyako, my hometown.    　 I have been taking some pictures of those portals, so I would like to introduce them briefly with map link.  Some of them are not registered as the portals yet, but I had sent the request to INGRESS when I took the pictures. 1. Suidou Kouen (Water Line Park) [Portal Requesting Now] Map:  https://goo.gl/maps/jAZRP This park had opened in June 4th in 1993. You can walk not only behind the water fall, but also in the water with bear foot. So, it's nice place to "chill out" literally. 2. Suijin-hi (Stele of the Water God) [Portal] Map:  https://goo.gl/maps/jAZRP Next to the Suidou Kouen (Water Line Park,) there is Miyako Water Line Management Office.  When this Office opened, they made this stele.   In front of thi...
