What I did?

Today, I look back on the To-Do list for my first year at the university, that I posted on this blog before.
http://masanarimasanari.blogspot.jp/2014/05/to-do-list-made-me-feel-sadness.html

I wrote it about 7 months ago, and I didn’t remember the details of the list until I reread a short time ago. I was surprised at the details. I can’t understand what I thought when I wrote this list.

1. Buy some milk by May 19
 Of course, I achieved. I like milk, and I don’t want to run out of milk. But it’s too tifling. No matter how I like milk, I should not have write such a thing on the Internet. No one wants to know that I must buy some milk.

2. Write a paper on chemical bond in a week
 I achieved. The professor requested me at least three sheets of paper, and I wrote 7 sheets in the end. I had other assignments which was not finished, but I wrote more than needed because I came to feel fun to do it. I also finished other assignments in exchange for the time to rest.

3. Buy a pan by the end of the month
 I didn’t achieve. But I didn’t buy it because of my laziness. I realized that a frying pan I had was enough to cook. My frying pan is deep type, and when I tried to boil somen with it, I could. Now I can cook even curry with it.

4. Take a part-time job by the summer vacation
 I didn’t achieve. I failed to do it because of my laziness. If I can say some excuses, I want to say that I was too busy. I studied hard. I was too tired to do more job because of my first time living alone. But some of my friends took a part-time job. So what is bad is my laziness.

5. Get a driver’s license in the summer vacation
 I didn’t achieve. I 
failed to do it because of a little laziness. It’s true that I felt it troublesome, but I thought that getting a driver’s license at that time was not good for my drive in the future. I don’t think of driving a car in my student life. So I should get a license later in order not to forget how to drive.

6. Go to all eating houses in the university
 I didn’t achieve, but I went to 10 of them. The number of the rest eating houses is three. Maybe I can achieve this by the end of this year.

7. Become a regular customer of a restaurant or coffee shop or café
 I didn’t achieve. I only ate out at a chain store of beef bowl. And in the store, I buy meal tickets from the vending machine before ordering. Of course no one remember me. I can’t say the line I admire.

8. Go to an eel restaurant near the university
 Of course I didn’t. It’s too expensive. It is not a place to go, for a student who doesn’t work or earn. I will go there when I graduate.

9. Learn to cook well
 Maybe I achieved. My cooking repertoire became larger, and now I can decide what I cook for dinner at a supermarket, judging from the price of food. But I sometimes feel that cooking is profound. I must learn more.

10. Remember the names of my classmates

 No comment.

11. Learn some one-shot jokes to set the audience laughing with
 I hit on a wonderful one-shot joke, but I don’t have any opportunities to show it. Maybe I won’t have such opportunity in my whole life.

12. World domination
 Never give up! Dreams come true!


There is some time in my first year at the university. Some items may be difficult, but I will make efforts to realize them. To begin with, I will remember the names of my classmates.

If I had a dinner party with my admirable persons

Today, I'll talk about a fanciful party I want to hold.

If I had a dinner party with my admirable persons.

Guests
Nicolaus Copernicus
   A Polish astronomer, who is known for the Copernican system. Copernican system is the idea that the earth and other planets go around the sun, and he suggested this idea for the first time. I admire him because he changed the fundamental idea which all people except him believed in. Maybe I can’t do it if I live to be a thousand.


Isaac Newton
   A British mathematician, physicist, astronomer, who is known for the laws of motion. And he made the idea of differential and integral calculus. I admire him because he made the fundamental idea which are used even now. I can’t do any academic thing without Newton’s idea.

Ichiro Suzuki
   A famous baseball player, who is called “Ichiro”. He is called “Wizard” or “Hitting Machine” in America. I admire him because of his numberless records and prizes. He has too many records and prizes to write down here. He is a Japanese hero.


Koichi Wakata
   An astronaut who belongs to JAXA. He has been to space four times for his mission. I admire him because he is a first Japanese person in the middle echelons of NASA. And he has the record of longest stay in space in Japan.


Walt Disney
   An American business magnate, cartoonist, and filmmaker, who created a famous character, Mickey Mouse, and influenced and contributed to entertainment. I admire him because he made many dreams come true. Now nobody don’t know Disney, and many people watch Disney movies, enjoy at Disney land, and love Disney characters.


Steven Allan Spielberg 

   An American film director, screenwriter, producer, and business magnate, who is known for famous movies “E.T.” and “Jaws”. I admire him because he made many wonderful movies. He was awarded a lot of prizes, and his works are watched by many people.

Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio

   An American actor and film producer, who is known for “Titanic”, which is a famous film. I admire him because he is very handsome and his works are wonderful. He has been nominated for five Academy Awards and ten Golden Globe Awards and won Golden Globes for Best actor in Drama and the Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy.

Lionel Andres Messi Cuccittini
   An argentine professional soccer player, who plays soccer as a forward for Spanish club FC Barcelona and captain the Argentina national team. I admire him because he is very good at playing soccer and his play is attractive. He won an Olympic gold Medal and received the Ballon d’Or four times.


Seating arrangements
I want to make seating arrangements like this picture.


   My partner Chika wants to be seat between Walt Disney and Messi because she admires them the most. She wants to talk to Disney about 
how to make our dreams come true and she wants to be given many dreams. And she wants Messi to tell his successes and his love to soccer. 
   Next to Messi, Ichiro Suzuki will be seat, and they talk about sports. Messi plays soccer, but Ichiro plays baseball, so they will find similarities and differences between soccer and baseball.
   Disney, Steven Spielberg, and Leonardo DiCaprio are engaged in jobs related to movie. They will talk about creating wonderful films. They may make plan for co-created film and ask other participants of this sinner party.
   Koichi Wakata and Copernicus will talk about the space. Copernicus will be impressed and surprised to Koichi’s experiences in the space, and Koichi will thank Copernicus for his works.
   I, Newton, and Copernicus will talk about physics and astronomy. Ideas of Newton and Copernicus are very profitable for study.


Place arrangements
I will hold the party at a restaurant in Tokyo Disneyland to show Disney his job. But Spielberg may be angry as I don’t hold at USJ, which he supervised. I want them to be friends…

Food arrangements
I will serve them with dishes which are connected with them.


1. Gaspacho
Gaspacho is a Spanish cuisine, and the team Messi belongs is a Spanish team. Maybe Messi knows a lot about this cuisine and other Spanish cooking, so I’ll be glad if this dish become a first lead of their conversation.

2. Salmon steak with mousseline source
This dish was served at the real “Titanic”. I don’t know DiCaprio, the leading actor of “Taitanic”, ate it in the filming, but I want him to tell everyone the episodes concerning his experience in the filming. Maybe some of them don’t know anything about Titanic, so I must prepare some pictures of Titanic and tell them about the movie.

3. A selection of space foods
Now I hear space foods are delicious unexpectedly. So I want to serve space foods and ask them whether it is really delicious. Koichi must have eaten them a lot, so I want him to tell everyone about other space foods he have eaten, and impression of old space foods. And I’ll be glad if this dish become a lead for Copernicus and Newton to ask Koichi about his experience in the real space.

4. A selection of sweets of Disneyland
In Tokyo Disneyland, there are a lot of sweets like chocolate, cookie, churros and so on. So, I will serve some popular sweets in Tokyo Disneyland, and if they take to any sweets, I will give it them as a present.

I want everyone to enjoy this dinner party!






By the way, of course I know that there are handsome men who got bald, such as Walter Bruce Willis. I know you, who read this blog, are also handsome.

To space

I watched a short film by Erik Wernquist “WANDERERS”. Today, I wrote the impression of it.




   First, I marveled at the various, beautiful and mystic pictures included in the film. A picture above is one of them. These pictures were built from real photos of the locations. They grabbed me by the throat, and I was drawn into mysterious world in the film.
   And in the film, a narrator read about “Wanderers”, which refers to not only planets going around but also ourselves, the human race on the earth. It says we humans wandered on the earth to find long summers, mild winters, rich harvests, and other profit in order to survive in natural selection. And now we go to another new world, space.
   But I had a question to hear that. Why should we go to space, out of our planet? In the film, it says we wander in order to survive and appease the indefinable craving for the unknown world. 

   Should we have to go to space to survive? The answer is no. Maybe our planet will die in the remote future by expanding of the sun, but it’s too far future. We humans can’t make plans with the future in mind and we think only of the present. If we have time to try to escape from the earth, we had better spend the time to make environmental improvements of the earth. It is a better way to live a long life on the earth.
   So, do we go to space to appease the craving? Maybe it’s not true either. To avoid misunderstandings, I have to say that I think the craving is one of the reasons to go to space, but not the main reason. We humankind have to have a logical mind. If we conduct ourselves by only desire, it is the time when we resign from mankind, and become just animals.
   Why should we go to space? The answer, I think, is because we have to learn and find out the unknown. We humans can’t bear something being unknown. You may say it is the craving, but it’s not true. I said we have to learn, not we want to. There is the big difference between them. If we stop learning and exploration, we will stop thinking, and resign from mankind. We have to wander to keep ourselves humankind by going on thinking. This is the answer to the question.
   Whatever reason for the exploration, now we human beings can go to space. We can take pride in this achievement. I wonder whether it will come the time we leave our galaxy…

How to prevent...

How to prevent “baldness
The baldness is terrible. If we grow bald once, there is no way to improve the situation.
So, today I wrote how to prevent baldness.
You should read this writing before you regret.



1. Sleep enough
   The cells which grow hairs are activated by growth hormone, and the growth hormones are secreted in 22:00 ~ 2:00. If you stay up this time zone, the growth hormones are not secreted.
And the growth hormones are secreted 0.5 ~ 3 hours after getting a sleep. So the shortness of sleeping also cause baldness.

2. Eat a balanced diet
   If you always eat an unbalanced diet, you can’t get enough nutrition you need to grow hairs. To grow hairs, you must take in protein, which is the main component of hair, vitamin A, vitamin E, which improve the circulation of the scalp blood. The lack of these nutrition cause baldness.
   If you take in too much fat, it cause bad blood circulation and pores are stopped up, which also damage hairs. You should eat vegetables.

3. Give up smoking
   Nicotine which is included in cigarettes activates the central nerves, and then your blood vessels shrink. It cause bad blood circulation, and necessary nutrition doesn’t get to hairs. And carbon monoxide which is included in cigarettes also cause bad blood circulation. Smoking is harmful not only for your health but also for your hairs.

4. Get rid of stress
   Much stress upset the balance between the sympathetic nerve system and the parasympathetic nervous system. If the former works too much, the blood pressure goes up and the blood vessels shrink. And badly-balanced nervous system weaken the function of the internal organs and you can’t take in enough nutrition for hairs. It is difficult to eliminate all stress, but you had better do what you want to do and get rid of stress.

5. Change your hairstyle
   If you always have the same hairstyle, it may cause baldness because the same part of your scalp is exposed. Ultraviolet rays dry the scalp, and then hairs can’t get enough water to grow. Ultraviolet rays also damage hairs themselves. Ultraviolet rays destroy hair cuticles, and hairs come to be sensitive to any stimulation. You should change your hairstyle to prevent only one spot on the scalp from being exposed to ultraviolet rays. But tying hairs like a ponytail can damage hairs and scalp, so you should have a natural hairstyle.

6. Don’t use a hat for a long time
   Using a hat is a good way to protect hairs from ultraviolet rays, but too long use can cause baldness. If you use a hat, your scalp gets sweaty and various germs multiply in the hat. It causes an inflammation on the scalp and damages hairs. If you want to use a hat, you should use the one that breathes well.

7. Dry your hairs after taking a bath
   As mentioned above, sweaty scalp causes baldness. So, you should not leave your hair wet after taking a bath. And when hairs are wet, hair cuticles are apt to be broken. If you go to bed with your hair wet, cuticles can be broken because of pressure and friction among hairs. You should dry your hair with a hair dryer soon after taking a bath.

8. Don’t wash your hair too much
   The scalp secretes sebum, and it protect scalp from the stimulation like ultraviolet rays. But if you wash your hair too much, the scalp secretes too much sebum, and it makes pores stopped up. It is important to keep you hair clean, but one washing a day is enough.Too much washing do more harm than good.



The baldness is terrible, but you can prevent it! Let’s enjoy the life with plenty of hairs!
