Story - ストーリー

Wish to share a true story from a friend of mine .

Germany is a highly industrialized country, when it comes to Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Siemens…… no one does not know about it.In such a developed country, people's lives there must be to savor the best in life.Before heading to Germany , they tried very hard to figured out the country and full of expectation.

Arrived at the port city of Hamburg, they habitually went to a restaurants. The local colleagues had been waiting to give them some welcome treat. Into the restaurant, they past across the big restaurant with few customer. More ridiculously was that one pair of lovers whose dining table only placed a plate with vegetables and two cans of beer.Was the meal too simple for a sweet gathering?

Another table was filled up with some old women whose hair were in white color .The waiter served their food quickly and they finished the food with no left over.They wouldn't want to pay too much attention on the ladies, but to hopes for a quick meal. Their locals colleagues were very understanding, let's them order as many as they wanted to.

With a few customer in the restaurant,their foods were served quickly, and their table was soon filled with food.The meal was ended quickly with many arrangement ahead of us.At the end,one-third of our food was left on the table.After someone paid the bill and they were out of the restaurant.

A person from the restaurant was calling them not far from the restaurant. They thought someone must had forgotten their belonging.They were so curious to saw that the few old ladies were arguing with the restaurant owner and which seems to be against them. She told them in English that the food they left was too many and too wasted. They felt funny and awkward by her behavior.

She was pissed off by one of them told her that they can afford to do so.And she called someone. An officer with uniform came after a while and tried to understand the situation. After finished hearing the story he issued them a ticket which was a fine of 50 marks.The local colleagues had to come up with 50 marks and said: "Sorry!" !The officer said to them,"Money is yours, but resources are the whole society, a lot of people in the world are lack of resources, you have no reason to waste! ".They were so ashamed !

Please check your refrigerator now and look inside...........

Life after death - 死後の世界

Anyone talk to you about organ donation before? What's your reaction? Normally , when someone mention organ and tissue donation to anyone and chances are, you'd get a bewildered look.

The complicated death and organ donation are difficult issues to think, let along talk about. Imagine how it might feel during the death of a loved one. Making a decision to donate the organs and tissues of a loved one who has just died is not easy.Actually,it is by pledging our own organs and tissues during out lifetime that we make this decision making process easier and less stressful for our relatives.

The key message for those that wish to have organ donation is that people need to get the facts about donation in order to make their own personal decision about whether to be a donor. And most importantly, they need to share that decision with family members in order to be sure that their wishes will be honored.

I have the idea of becoming an organ donor for sometime.Just haven't put it into action yet.I think this is about time to do sometime while we still can. There were too many disasters happening, nobody can predict what will happened the next moment in our life.

Remember, organ and tissue donation is the ultimate humanitarian act of charity!

Free Widgets - 無料のウィジェット

Widgets are elements often in the left or right columns of a blog, that enhance its usefulness.Widgets pull content or services from some other place on the Web, and put it into our personal page.It is really handy and easy to use.

Typically, widgets are built with Flash software from Adobe, or the JavaScript programming language, which ensures that they work with most Web browsers.Basically widgets can be group into three categories.

1.Self-expression widgets, like photo galleries, games or YouTube videos that you like.

2.Widgets that generate revenue for a blogger, like a box that displays auctions from a particular eBay category, or a blogger’s favorite DVDs from Amazon.com.

3.Site-enhancement widgets, like discussion forums, news feeds or a guest book, which provide better utility for your Web site

I think Widgetbox(www.widgetbox.com) is a site that spotlighting the newest and most popular widgets ; it offers more than 500 widgets.Widgets don’t benefit only blog visitors; some exist primarily for the benefit of blog publishers, showing, for instance, which other blogs are linking to their posts.

Most widgets are available free, though they usually carry links or logos that promote the site that supplies them, and they sometimes have advertising.Why not just try it out yourself?But remember don't over doing it!

Green Car - グリーン車

Ever hear of 'Green car"? Types of green vehicles include vehicles that go fully or partly on alternative energy sources than fossil fuel. Another alternative is to use alternative fuel composition in conventional fossil fuel-based vehicles, making them go partly on renewable energy sources.Examples of vehicles with reduced petroleum consumption include electric cars and fuel cell-powered hydrogen cars.

Hybrid car may be partly fossil fueled and partly electric or hydrogen-powered.One drawback to all hybrids is that they cost more than their conventional counterparts. The extra expense is for the added technology. Conventional vehicles have only a gasoline engine. Hybrids have the gasoline engine along with one or more electric motors connected to a battery pack that automatically recharges itself.

But the one consumer decision most people make which impacts the greatest on the environment is the choice of car we drive.A gallon of gasoline weighs just over 6 pounds. When burned, the carbon in it combines with oxygen from the air to produce nearly 20 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2). By switching from a gas guzzler to a hybrid , you can literally save the earth a couple of tons of greenhouse gases.These electric and gas powered machines not only save resources and money, but also help preserve the environment.The growing environmental concerns and rising gas prices are convincing more and more people to choose a hybrid.

My next new car definitely going to be a hybrid.How about you?

Movie ムービー - Kung Fu Panda

The movie " Kung Fu Panda" ,in addition to Hoffman(Shifu ,the trainer), McShane(Tai Lung) and Black (Panda), Angelina Jolie (Tigress), Lucy Liu (Viper), Seth Rogan (Mantis), Jackie Chan (Monkey) and David Cross (Crane) have voice over roles.

The movie was directed by Mark Osborne and John Stevenson, "Kung Fu Panda" has something for just about everyone.I personally think that it's the right mix of humor, action and drama, and it's all carried out wonderfully through a superb story and excellent animation work.

This movie is one of the best family films of 2008,truly worth watching it with your family.The most of all,with a positively simple message -- believe in yourself -- as they enter the "Panda."

Enjoy the movie!
