***

In Japan, elementary schools are on summer vacation during late July to the end of August.
During the vacation, "radio gymnastic exercises" are held in public grounds from 6:30 a.m. every morning.
Children, their parents and neighbors gather in the nearby ground and do "radio gymnastic exercises" to the music on the radio.

Children are given attendance cards, and each morning the leader stamps on it.
I felt proud to see stamps filling my card.
A card filled with stamps is a trophy for a child.

七月や亀に連れられ天の川

***

Today's entry comes from "Urashima Taro" and "Tanabata".

Urashima-Taro is a popular old story.

Taro Urashima, a young fisherman saved a sea turtle being bullied by children in the beach. The turtle was a daughter of the Dragon God. She took Taro over "Ryugu-jo", a submarine palace of the Dragon God. Taro stays there for three days, when he came back he became an old man standing on the world 300 years later.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urashima_Tar%C5%8D

Tanabata, literally meaning Evening of the seventh is the Japanese star festival, celebrated on July 7th.

A loving couple, Orihime (vega) and Hikoboshi (Altair) became lazy after the marriage. The emperor in the heaven got angry and separated them by putting on each sides of "Amano-kawa", the Milky Way. Once in a year, magpies fly to the Milky Way to make a bridge for the couple to cross the river.
People celebrate the day by hanging small pieces of papers on bamboo. Wishes and poetry are written in the paper.

The first home-built PC

2011-06-17T23:41:00.001+09:00

This is my first home-built personal computer.

Until two weeks ago, I haven't imagined that I would make it.
However, my PC, which I usued for four years, are having continuous problems and it was almost impossible to use it.

So I planned to buy a new one and studied about the recent PC, abilities and price.

Things I require for the PC are to be able to use Painter and handle RAW data.
I asked at Kakaku.com, it's a shopping site with SNS function.
I got helpful information there. For instance, for CPU sandy bridge series are good, a graphic board isn't necessary for me.

Then I read magazines about PC parts and DISCOVERED.
The INSIDE of HOME-BUILT PC is VERY NEAT!
The door to a home-built PC is opened.

Select parts, go to a PC parts shop and consult with a salesperson and buy parts.
It took me almost one day to buid a PC.
I had many problems, but it was fun to solve them one by one by refering manuals and serching internet.
The manual of the motherboard which can be obtained at the maker's web page was really helpful.

List of Parts

CPU -- Intel Core i-5 2400
Mother board -- ASUS P8H67-V Rev3.0
Memory -- Silicon Power 4GB x 2
HDD -- Hitachi 500GB
PC case -- Coolmaster CM2 plus
Power Supply Unit -- Gigabyte powerRock 500w
OS -- Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

Now I'm writing this article by using it.
It runs very smoothly and quietly.
God saved my money...

When an unusual typhoon hit Japan in May, my friend and I reklessly headed toward Mt. Fuji area.

We took Gotemba line from Numadu to Gotemba.

In Gotemba, the moutain lifted the veil and said hello to us.

we got an useful information at a tourist counter at Gotemba station.

Dear My Dog

Dear Yupie

I give

an orange gerbera daisy

to you

the vivid orange flower
reminds me of your cheerful smile

six years and ten months passed since you were born

wish we could spend more time together

wish we could laugh more together

Sleepless Night

I count cards of regrets

If I watched you more closely

If I took you to the veterinarian immediately

If...

On 25th april, our dog, yupie suffered a heart failure and crossed the rainbow.

After the big earthquake on March 11, we had hundreds of aftershocks.
At each aftershock and warning sound, he was scared very badly.
But in other times, he was healthy and cheerful.

Yupie, we miss you so much.
