Determination?

タイトル:決意?

At Akasaka, I went out to have some drinks to celebrate my boss' promotion with elder bureaucrats, now in charge of our nation's policies.
It's a pleasure to drink with professionals, which I have the freedom to taste being a reporter in the center of our nation.
赤坂上司の昇進を祝うために、今わが国の政策づくりを担当している役所の年長者たちと飲みに行った。
プロフェッショナルと飲むのは愉快だ。我々の国の中心で記者をやっていると自由に味わえる楽しみだ。


with shochu of course!!Posted by Picasa

We all know we're not talking about profits and losses... but we all have our ambitions... that we will be the ones to make our nation a better place to live...
But the elders all blame me, being a bachelor ambitious enough to do anything...
Hey, it's really tough because I only get to meet a girl of a lifetime, once or maybe luckily twice! It could be mere superstition that we can all be happy if we work hard...
損得の話をしてるんじゃないってみんな分かっている…でもみんな大志を抱いている…この国をより良いところにできると思っている。
でも、年輩の人たちはみんな俺をとがめるんだ。なんでもできるって野心たっぷりなのは独身だからだって…。
おいおい、結構厳しいんだぜ。人生で最初で最後のコは一度っきりしか遇わねぇんだから。ツイてりゃ二度かな!一生懸命働いたらみんな幸せになれるなんて単なる迷信になっちまうぜ…。

Well, but nothing changes... all I can hope for is to be happy in life as long as I have the opportunity to accomplish something!
まぁ、でも何も変わらない…何かを達成できるチャンスがあるうちは楽しい人生を送れるって祈るしかないかなって!

Hello! It's been a while since I made comments. Yes, I agree with you guys in "the center of the nation" need to come up with something better for a change!! Even if we try hard ourselves, it's not so easy here in the world with full interest in PROFIT but only PROFIT!!
We are counting on you!!

P.S. Hoping won't help you much in resolving your bachelor issue, does it? You've got to take the chance or take action ;) Let me know if I can help you in anyway. Bunch of girls around me...not sure if they fit you, though.

Thanks for the comment!
I fully understand the world is now asking for PROFITS. Living in a nation where risk of death is quite low, people's heart is just set on moneymaking because that's where you can make a difference!!
Well, that's not my kinda game. (I don't have that talent of business management, anyways!)

P.S. I'm kinda fit with my bachelor's environment too much... I'd just like to go out where I can just relax, as you can easily find out in my diary!
