It was supposed to be a day off for my liver, but instead I was drinking again for about 6 hours this night...
Monday and Tuesday's parties were mainly about saying farewell to my senior colleagues, but today, I had time to talk to the much younger, who are planning to enter our company next year.
It's quite hard for me to communicate with them as they're really innocent about what they are facing next year as freshmens. The willingness and devoting spirits are at their heights right now, and I have to try to be reasonable as ever about what I inform them with, as they probably will believe anything I say. But honestly... these guys were trustful and I tried to be as informative as I can.
After the party I was drinking with older acquaintances and sparked up again. Talking about my life and worries. But drowsiness easily caught me just a while before midnight... I always thought I'm young enough to do anything... especially when alcohol is the issue... I think I have to change my view a little bit... Zzz...
the wheels without tires...
There were 2 striking news for me today. Both were not fatal, fortunately, but very alerting.
In the morning, Japan Airlines' airplane had another trouble, as one the jet planes landing at Haneda airport, lost its tires of the nose gear wheels, which fell off during landing. The accident caused only minor injuries, but it probably left many of the passengers in real danger. I'm getting wary of riding planes, but we really need to use them when we have to get to distant places quickly. I really hope there wouldn't be any major accidents, and our only hope is the serious checking by the airline companies to prevent them. I just pray for their devotion!
Another news was the Magnitute 7.4 earthquake off the coast of Northern California. The quake was not close to the big cities and probably none have felt any danger from it. But next year it'll be the 100th anniversary of the 1906 earthquake greatly damaging the San Fransisco bay area.
California is another dangerous place concerning earthquakes, just like Japan is. I hope they are all ready for disasters, as I have many acquiantances there including my dearest sister. I just pray for their readiness!

タイトル：飲みすぎだ…
３夜で７つの飲み屋で５つの飲み会…。ふー…。
本当は休肝日にするはずだったのに、また６時間ほど飲んでしまった。
月曜と火曜の飲み会は先輩を送ることが中心だったが、きょうはもっと若いのと飲むことになった。来年、うちの会社に入ることになっている奴らとだ。
彼らの会話するのはかなり難しい。来年、新人として直面することについて、本当に無邪気なところが。彼らのやる気と懸命さは今がピークで、何を伝えるのか いつも以上に道理が通ってないといけない。だって、きっと何を言っても信じてしまうから。でも、これだけは信じて欲しい…。こいつらは信頼できる。だから 出来る限り有益な情報を伝えるようにした。
飲み会のあと、今度は旧知の知り合いと飲んで、さらに盛り上がった。自分の人生や悩みについて話して。でも日付が変わる直前に眠気が襲ってきた…。まだまだ何をやるにも若いと思っていた…。特に酒については…。少し考えを変えないとな…。ぐーぐー…。
写真：タイヤが無いホイール…
きょうは自分にとって２つ注目せざるを得なかったニュースがあった。幸いにも両方とも命取りではなかったが、強く警告を発していた。
午前中に日本航空の飛行機がまたトラブルを起こした。羽田空港に着くジェット機の一つが着陸時に前駆のホイールからタイヤが取れたのだ。この事故では、軽 いけががあっただけだが、たくさんの乗客を本当の危険にさらしていたに違いない。航空機に乗るのはどんどん不安になる一方だが、いち早く離れた場所に行く ためにどうしても必要だ。大事故が起きないことを祈るだけだが、とにかく航空会社にそれを防ぐために真剣に点検をしてもらうことしかない。とにかく真剣に 取り組んでもらえるよう祈る！
もう１つのニュースは北カリフォルニア沖で起きたマグニチュード７．４の地震だ。地震は都市の近くでは起きなかったので、誰も危険を感じなかっただろう。でも、来年はサンフランシスコ・ベイエリアに甚大な被害をもたらした１９０６年の地震から丁度百周年を迎える。
カリフォルニアは、地震については日本と同じように危険な場所だ。みんな災害に備えていて欲しいものだ。大切な妹を含めてたくさんの知り合いがいるだけに。備えていることを祈るだけだ！

It's just important to know how vulnerable we are. Then we can be ready to take in whatever's ahead!
Yes, the three of us have things in common. Without alcohol maybe all of us will die... but we mustn't forget one thing... I know you never drink and drive, and I promise I never do it either!
