Updating my diary
Being curious about the nuclear issue developments, I was a little restless though it was my second day off here. I tried to cook something, but I know I have no abilities in cooking so I just took out the eggs again and rammed them on the frying pan!
got something like scrambled eggs!?
After finishing up a document I was requested to fill from my boss, I started updating my blog... finally! I've written my diary almost everyday and though all I had to do was paste the pics to them, it seemed to take hours! I have to be clear that I will not write anything here that will jeopardize my position here in a very sensitive environment, but I will try to post as many things as possible so I can come back to enjoy my posts later on in my life! It's taken me at least five hours to update about two months of the diary!
I didn't know which channel to turn to see the Opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. At least the state TV was broadcasting it live in the news channel from 5PM.
The news about the South Ossetia was the center of the show and the nuclear issue may not be too big of a matter today... oh well, I luckily had a complete day off!

I woke up punctually at 8:30AM, and in my bed I turned on my TV as the perfect record Patriots were about to kick off the football to the underdog Giants.
I have to get ready to leave this room... but yes, it's really tough with the most entertaining event of the year (perhaps more than the Olympic Games!) is on the air LIVE!
Oh, my time's running up...
I don't know if I can update my diary during my trip, but this time with my personal notebook PC, I could try on my time off!

You must believe me...
That I took my new post and given guidance through what I have to do at the International News Division. Already getting down in the dumps, I was trying to figure out how I'll make it through...
But all of the sudden, words from the higher level forced me to dump all these thoughts away.
I was told to go to Niigata for 10 days to participate in the quake disaster coverage in the afternoon...
I didn't even imagine I had to take this map out again...
So much for working at my new post... oh well, it could wait for 10 days!
P.S.
I may not be able to update this diary for a while.
But I'll write something everyday on my notebook PC, so I would be able to post them when I return!!

Energy saving...
タイトル：省エネで…
Since this coming several weeks will be an equivalent to living hell, I made up my mind to write only a minimum on this diary for a while.
Sleeping a minute longer may save my life, and I'd know what I sacrificed when I see this diary years later!
(posts will be made mostly around 1AM-3AM the next day but they will be posted as 11:59PM the day before, as I usually do on such cases)
これから数週間は生き地獄と同じになるので、しばらくは、この日記には最低限のことしか書かないことにします。
１分でも長く寝ることが死ななくても済むかも知れないし、数年後にこの日記を見たときに何を犠牲にしたのか分かるし！
（書き込みは次の日の午前１時～３時ごろにすると思うけど、そういう時はいつものように、前の日の夜１１時５９分に書き込んだことにします）

Revival
Ten years ago...on January 17, 1995 a deadly tremor hit the Kansai area of west Japan killing more than 6500. Named the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, it was the second time I felt such a screaming jolt from the earth.
The last time was when I was a senior in high school. On October 17, 1989 it severely damaged the surfin' city of Santa Cruz in the San Fransisco Bay Area perimeter. This was the first time I recognized how quakes can be a real threat to our existence, although with the earthquakes I was lucky enough to be out of damage. I was in a quite stable San Jose on the first occasion and on the second one in northern Osaka, as in both occasions the epicenter was far enough.
In the start of 1995, I was in my last months in college, and from the spring of that year my career in the media started. The endless exodus towards the recovering from the quake was the priority in the news coverage and I was luckily a part of it as a freshman.
Ten years flew by, but the experiences I've gained since are so precious I've no way to share them, but to challenge myself to deeper outputs. This week I'm in Kobe, one of the hardest hit by the earthquake, now filled with energy of the ten-year-long recovery, but still in the shadows of a gap towards a full revival leaving many without their loved ones.
In a few months, I'll be finishing the tenth year of my career, and I feel I must devote myself to a renewed motivation to pursue a higher stage in my duties in the media and to restart my challenge to a fulfilled private life in this inorganic city of Tokyo. To remember my pledge, I'll start writing down what I see, think, and deliver.
Sincere comments are always welcome, but this space will practically be filled with notes for myself. It won't be entertaining and lucrative.
タイトル：復興
10年前・・・の1月17日、激震が日本西部の関西地区を襲い、6500人以上の命を奪った。阪神淡路大震災と名付けられたこの地震で、地球が叫ぶような衝撃を感じたのは二回目の経験となった。
前 回は高校の最終学年だったときだ。そいつは1989年の10月17日にサンフランシスコ周辺にあるサーフィンが似合うサンタクルーズの街に深刻な打撃を 与えた。このとき、地震がいかに人類にとって真の脅威となり得るか初めて実感したが、幸いにもそれぞれの地震では、被害を受けずに済んだ。１回目のときは サンノゼのかなり（地盤が）しっかりしたところにいたし、２回目のときは大阪北部にいて、それぞれの発生時には、震央からは十分離れていたところにいた。
1995年が始まるころは、大学時代最後の数ヶ月を迎えていて、その春からメディアの一員としての生涯が始まった。ニュース番組のトップ項目は常に地震から復興に向けての終わり無き旅路で、それに新人として参加できたことは幸運だった。
10 年はあっと言う間に過ぎたが、この間に得た経験はあまりにも貴重だ。それをうまく理解してもらえるよう伝える術はないが、とにかくさらに深い番組制作 に挑戦していかなければと考えている。今週、地震で最も被害が大きかった地域の一つである神戸の地に立った。今は10年間、復旧にかけてきた気力でみな ぎっているが、愛する者を失った多くの人たちが全面的な復興から取り残されている影の部分とのギャップが同時に感じられる。
あと数ヶ月で社会人10年目を終える。メディアの一員として新たな刺激を求め、さらに高いレベルを追求し、人間関係が希薄な東京という街で充実した私生活を求めて改めてチャレンジしていきたい。この誓いを忘れないように、自分が見て、考えて、伝えていくことをここに書き始めよう。
率直なコメントはいつもウェルカムですが、基本的にこのスペースは自分のためのメモで埋め尽くされます。そんなにおもしろくないし、儲け話もころがってないよ。
(today's words)
exodus 旧約聖書中にあるイスラエル人のエジプト出国のこと。
そのときのイスラエル人の心情も考えながら、この言葉を選んでいる。
迫害を受けながらも、カナンの地を目指して出て行った人たちのように、
災害という苦しみから復興を目指して被災者たちは長い道を歩き続けた。
inorganic 無機的 ストレートに使うと、「有機的でない」という意味だが、
「人間関係が希薄な」という意味で使った。
そんな東京で互いに密接に結び合っている関係を感じられないのは
自分だけだろうか。
