I just take up things only I’ve realised they are necessary.
Thinking of this principle, I guess it’s anyhow better to be on the start line at least in case I determined to join the course, though the value of MBA has been depreciating.

The university I’m planning to go is in fact not a proper fulltime one. To be precise, I won’t go to university but I’ll take a course remotely. Although I sometimes have to attend actual classes, the schedule is very flexible and should affect my work minimally. Besides, I used to take their course and the class credits are still valid. Therefore, I can effectively get the degree in two years though it is maybe so-called ‘educational-career-laundering’.

For many conservative Japanese, my life could appear bit bizarre. Most of my friends from high school have already graduated university. Some of them will have completed their master courses on this spring.
But I believe my way of learning is absolutely yielding as it’s always followed by vision and passion.
I hope this works well again.

Anyway 2008 has come! Not only from the school gathering but also I had to think about quite complicated things and feel strange exhilaration.

In retrospecitive, the theme of 2007 for me was ‘stabilisation’. Although there were some unpleasant upheavals -I was hospitalised and my beloved granma passed away- at the begining of the past year, I in fact managed to make my life very stable -I moved to here Roppongi, made a significangt improvement in English etc-.

However, I’d rather say to myself “It’s too early to content with the circumstances” even though my life still appears to be fluctuating for many. Therefore, I’m kind of planning to shake it up drastically in this year by pursuing my instinct. Needless to say, I won’t lieve for the moment. I’m a typical future-minded person and just afraid of the stagnation. I wanna see a viblant future.

Yet, I haven’t made up mind for the actual plan clearly, maybe I can tell it later.

The previous design was created when I stayed at auntie’s house at Melbourne. I was in fact farley satisfied with the result but as the time goes by my tendency found some premature points. Thus, I tried to improve the following point at this time.

• Spacing
  This is the highest priority of renewal. At the previous design, attempting to optimise the site for 800 width resolution screen made the site quite narrow; nevertheless it was vertically bit spacious. Therefore, I made a scrupulous effort on it.
• Japanese title available
  Probably it doesn’t concern English version readers but actually the most of the readers of this page is Japanese, and I wanted to entitle the entries in Japanese as well. However due to the system reason, it was difficult to archive this function but finally I made it. However, it was a kind of trade-off which I had to relinquish 'next, previous entry function'. Maybe I need to carry a further research to solve it.
• AJAX
  Recently, I started to use jQuery and it's absolutely fascinating! I made use of it on this site as well.

That's all for now. With this renewal, I anew noticed how flexible ExpressionEngine is. Although there is a restriction of title handing, it's because of unusual bilingual trick. Apart from it it was literally depends on my imagination. I could integrate a couple of blogs and make small functions by PHP and despite the adaptability, the output code remains clean enough (validated XHML+CSS).
I really hope ExpressionEngine thrives in Japan as well.
