Those Appliances

I just don't get along with the appliances. 
Whenever I use AC, I feel bit sick.  It's because it gets too cold for me even though I know how to adjust the temperature on AC.   
So, I am using a fan instead of AC. 
However, it's not enough because of the very high temperature these days in Japan.  
Then, I put a wet tenugui (手ぬぐい, the Japanese hand towel) around my neck with the fan.  
That helps me a lot to cool myself down by taking the heat away. 
Usually, I am just by myself in the office, so I do not have to cool whole office space down, but me. 
   
In this afternoon, one of my classmate back in the high school stopped by.  
When she stepped in the hot office, she asked me if I don't feel too hot in the office (nothing kinky *LOL*)  So, I explained how the combination of the fan and wet tenugui helping me.   
She said "Oh, you are an old person."  
I was almost said "Well, you were my classmate in high school, so you are supposed to be the same age as me, girl."  But I know she meant "old fashion," so I just said "Yeah."
Sometime, Japanese language still confuses me.  I guess I am not Japanese enough yet. 
  
Another thing that I am not get along is the Japanese vacuum cleaner.  
Why they upgrade or releasing the new models so often? 
I am using the same vacuum cleaner years, and I don't think it's not necessary to buy new model every time they come out unless I am crazy for the vacuum cleaners.  No, I am not.  Not just yet. 
The disadvantage of using the same vacuum cleaner is it gets difficult to find the paper bag to put inside the cleaner; I either have to call the vacuum cleaner maker or order them online.   
I am getting tired of doing that, so I go like

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?

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*

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.
