Test Result

Ok.

I told you I took accounting test on Tuesday….

Anyway, it was so hard, and I didn’t have any confidence at all.

 

But…

 

I checked Web CT (it’s an online system of the university)

My prof. already posted the test result on there.

 

I got 99……

 

I can hear one person is saying out of 1000….

Another saying no, no out of 10000…..

 

It’s out of 100. of course!!!

 

Highest score is 99 which means ME!!!!

 

I guess I was lucky…..

 

Anyway, I was able to maintain good impression on my prof.

 

 

Lazy Morninig

This Morning, I was so lazy…..

Please don’t say “always.”

 

Anyway, I just wanted to cover my face with my blanket.

and

just enjoy nice morning bed time. lol

 

I was lazy, so obviously I didn’t cook breakfast this morning. Hahaha

 

I spent precious morning time for sleeping in stead of cooking.

 

Anyway, it’s middle of week, and all the tests are over for this week….

Organizational Behavior Test

Hi. I’m back!!!

 

I just want to let you know, or rather I would say because I promised you that I’m going to inform you how I did the test.

 

I am going to tell you from now.

 

Bang. Bang. Drdrdrdrdrdr………….. (Drum Roll)

 

I think I got 90%.......

 

I know what you thought just now…..

You thought “what do you mean you think!!!”

 

Let me explain the organizational behavior test structure first.

Take a test individually

Then take same test as a group

After that prof. explains whole test answer.

 

According to the prof. group test should be better than individual one….

You think so too?

 

However………………………….

 

I got 90% for myself with 4 mistakes out of 40 multiple questions….

 

Group got 85% with 6 mistakes.

 

So my final result is 87.5%........

 

 

It is lower than individual score…..

 

Guess what I was the smartest in the group…….

 

Well, what can I say.

At least, I got passing grade…..

 

Anyway, one more to go.

Accounting test….

Need to review it.

First Test

Yesterday, I had Economics test.

It was a first test this semester.

 

So I studied a lot caz don’t want to fail right.

 

Saturday, Sunday, I went to Library and studied.

 

The test itself was soooooooooooooooooooo easy…..

 

Give me back all my effort and time….

 

It was only basic demand and supply equation, and some derivative…..

 

I guess today is the real first test….

This morning, I have Organizational Behavior test…

 

I had difficulty memorizing all the term.

Do you know why?

 

Unlike Accounting, Finance, or Economics, you can not build own way of understanding easily.

So,

Yesterday night, Jo helped me to memorize all the terms.

 

So am I ready for the test now?

I don’t know…..

 

I slept very well, and forgot a lot of things….

I don’t know if I really forgot or just I am thinking I forgot….

Maybe all the terms come to my mind when I’m taking the test.

 

Hmmm, hope it will. Otherwise…..

I can see the result.

 

Nah….

 

I’m gonna be OK.

I will do fine.

 

I will let you know if I did well or not.

 

Oh, I have another test today. It’s accounting test. This one should be ok, but I need to review a bit more.

Last minutes stuff…..

 

After the two tests, I guess I can be more relax……

I can take a nap after the test…. Yey!!!!

 

Have a good day all of you!

My Mom Joined Mixi Community!!!

Hey, My mom just joined Mixi which is Japanese version of Facebook.
Well, actually I registered for her.

what I was wonderling is

How many my mom's generation people are in Mixi.

I don't know anybody doing Mixi over 40 years old.

If she is the first person joining Mixi, then isn't that great.

then I start thinking what if things....

What if

  • Mmom invites her friends to Mixi
  • her friends invites others
  • create huge community such as Hula is Life (just because my mom is crazy about hula right now)
  • above things leads to huge huge elder's boomy

Hmm, I'm getting excited. lol

Hope these will happen.

It's going to be so much fun!!!

First time

Today, I did first time in this semester.

What? I forgot what I did?

Well that’s what I’m going to explain right now. Don’t be so rush.

You got enough time since you are reading my blog, right? lol

Anyway, what I did is Late for Class.

Hey, you just thought what!? Is that it? I am doing all the time (don’t late for class!)

People know me well knows that I am the nerd of the world, so I don’t late for class.

I write what my prof. said and get good grade.

So all business prof loves me.

“No Yuki, No life”

(Well, they didn’t say that much, but pretty close.)

So it is very unusual that I late for class.

The reason why I couldn’t wake up this morning?

Well, you know all college students must have fun during weekend, so did I.

I am regretting a bit….

Anyway, Jo is cooking Pork curry which is my favorite!!!

It’s so juicy and tender pork mixed with spicy curry.

Hmmm, yummy.

“No Curry, No life”

I guess all Japanese must feel same way.

Does it mean

“No Jo, No life?”

Caz she is the one cook delicious curry, right.

And without her, I cannot eat vary delicious curry anymore.

Although there might be tons of delicious curry out there all over the world, this one is so easy to reach.

Anytime I want to eat I can eat on that day…..

So, I guess my conclusion is

“No Curry, No life” = “No Jo, No curry”

Which means A=B and B=C so A=C

Therefore, “No Jo, No life”

Hmm, I guess I should be more kind to her then…..

Curry is calling. upps,Jo is calling.

Sunday Shopping

Today, Jo and I went to COSTCO (http://www.costco.com/Home.aspx) which is a membership hyper market. You can get so much stuff at thi store.
Usually, we go there and buy some meats caz meats are relatively cheaper than other grocery stores.
today, we went there to get tooth brush for Jo.
we found good one. Corgate 360 which comes with tooth brush with tongue cleaner at the back of head of brush. we bought 1 pack which comes 8 of those.
Our shopping always go to extra innings which means buying other stuff as well.
today, we bought shampoo and popcorn x 24.
total $20 something.

there's one COSTCO in Japan too. I think it's located in Makuhari, Chiba.
(http://www.costco.co.jp/)
actually there are 5 shops in Japan.

Japanese Version of 401k

Today, I want to say something about Japanese 401k.

In this article, Japanese doing 401k are more than 2million people now.
When I read this, I thought something like this "what? finally? that's too slow, men."
In here, U.S., it is very normal people doing 401k.
why it's so popular in U.S.
I guess first of all cultural thing is different.
many Americans knows that putting money in the bank doesn't bring money back to you, whereas many Japanese don't know or don't want to take a risk at all.
let's see, U.S. treasury-bill is 3% and a bit more APR right now, and Japanese bank saving APR is 0.1%.
which means, Japanese bank simply can buy U.S. T-bill (3 something%) with the money Japanese people deposit to their bank.
Then they can automatically make at least 3% out of it.
In a reality, banks never go for so secure way, so their return is much higher, something like (10%) at least.
imagine, you put $100 today into your bank account, and bank automatically make $10.
Bank can make so much more in the real world.
because your $100 is not just $100 anymore. banks can creats more money out of it.

I want Japanese people to know taking risk. without taking risk, how they earn money.
stop letting banks earn moeny.

Investing is not gamble at all. if you study properly, then it is "Investment."
Hope more Japanese people will understand that.

The article I read is here:
http://news.mixi.jp/view_news.pl?id=92257&media_id=20 (in Japanese)

FF XIII

I just read this Japanese Article about Final Fantasy XIII(FFXIII) which is one of the most major Roll Playing Game in Japan.

"Tokyo Game Show" has been held, and showing this FFXIII short movie thing.
this time there are three version of it.
one is nor mal "FFXIII"
Second one is "FF versus XIII" (I don't know how to spell in English)
The last one is "FF Agito XIII" (nither this one, I don't know how to spell)lol

one thing I thought when I'm reading this.
that was FF series going to collaborate with "Kamen-Rider"??? (Japanese animation)
for people who don't know about Kamen-Rider, Kamen-Rider is just like yu-gi-o when I was young. well, stories more like "Power Rangers."
sounds like they are creating some kind of childish game.
I hope they are not and am sure that they are creating pretty fabulous game this time.

Cell Phone



First of all, I feel that I don’t need to buy new cell phone right now. Just want you to make sure about that before you start reading.

Anyway, I was discussing with Jo about new cell phone.

The candidates are “Sony Ericsson K790i” or “Nokia 6680”

Both are not cheap at all. Especially Sony Ericsson one is crazily expensive.

Obviously that one has quite nice features with.

Nokia one is ok. Not so expensive like K790i, but not sure if it’s the good quality one or not.

Anyway, our conclusion was we don’t need it right now.

We should wait and see if the price will go down or not.

Hope it will and we can buy it someday.

I only want to do Bluetooth one, so as long as the cell phone has that feature, then I don’t mind at all.

Yet, I want good looking cell phone too. lol

Hmmm, so demanding.

Our Conclusion is we are not going to buy it for now.

I will let you know when I get new one, with Bluetooth. lol

Saturday Studying

Well, Today obviously I woke up pretty late. how late?
I woke around 12 O'clock.
Went to library to study caz there's no temptation in library.
At first, I studied Economics as well as derivative. I forgot a lot how to do derivative. sigh...
anyway, a few problems after, my mories came back, and I was able to solve it. hahaha.

then I studied managerial accounting. only did chapter 4 which is ABC (not alphabet).
ABC is Activity Based Costing. supposed to better estimation you can make by using ABC rather than normal one rate estimation.
the reason why ABC is better uses separate rate based on activities.
so you can caluculate more accurately than one rate for entire company, department, or product.

???
I can hear you are saying what you are talking about.
hmm, I wrote example just now, but I felt who wants to know this.
and I realized this isn't fun at all, so I quit and deleted. lol

the library closed at 6pm today, and after that I went to eat chinese food with Jo caz I got this coupon, and I can et 25% off. hahaha
so we only paid like $20 something. hmm, good price.

Now, I feel so full, and my stomach goes to burst soon. hahaha
hmmm, I should go on a diet again....
hope this time, I will succeed.

Crazy about SNS

I just posted about SNS (Social Networking Site) , so I want to tell you guys the truth. hahaha
I'm getting know how interesting this SNS thing is.
It's interesting only if you have at least one active member and get reply from at least one of your friend.
anyway, obviously I have at least one crazy fun.

Now, I'm trying to get more friends.
I force my friends to share "Yuki's World", even if they don't want to know. lol

Anyway, everyone enjoy "Yuki's World" lol

I found My brother in SNS

Hey! I just found my brother in Japanese SNS called "mixi" which is just like "facebook"
I was wondering if he is in the mixi or not yesterday, so I did search him, and I found him. lol
it's kinda cool caz most of his generation or older doesn't join to this SNS (Social Netoworking Site) .
anyway, it is cool. hahaha
Hope he will let me add to his SNS. lol

TGIF

Thanks God It's Friday!!!!
Yay! it's Friday. weekend coming.

anyway, I jsut watched the movie called "She is the man" something like that.
was pretty fun.
the interesting point is I was watching with Jo, and laughing point is slightly different than her.
I guess some point she doesn't understand, and so do I.
it was pretty funny movie.

anyway, you guys have a nice weekend!

MIS Lab Class

Some how, the blog I wrote didn't posted properly.
damn it. I wrote pretty long one during the MIS lab.
anyway, I will wrote as much as I remember what I wrote. lol
This morning, it was a MIS class. (MIS mean Management Information System)
Recently I noticed that when I type Information, I type "Infomrtion" by mistake.
well, more likely my fingers move that way. I don't know. sigh...

This morning, I went to lab, and there were only 4 of us including me and Jo.
There are about 40 students in this class.
only 4 of us showed up. hahaha
anyway, got nothing to do, and the prof. said that if there are any questions ask me."
"Hey! I woke up so early. The class is only like this. "
hmmm, too bad. so obviously nothing to do, so I am writing this blog. or rather I would say I was writing this blog since what I wrote wasn't posted properly and gone. sigh...

Accounting

I just came back from the school.

Today’s accounting class at night was very productive class.

The reason why it was so productive is I understand a lot from the class.

Well, I guess the prof. who is “old guy” helped me a bit, but the in-class exercise helped me a lot.

You know accounting requires me to exercise a lot to learn it.

It is very similar to process of learning computer.

I’ve been using computer for more than one circle of zodiac; therefore, I can use it very well.

I didn’t learn much from those computer classes I took in college caz mostly I already knew.

Anyway, what I want to say is accounting you need to do exercise a lot, so even if you don’t understand, you right (or for lefty, left hand) does.

Concept of accounting is pretty much same as math equation.

A=B+C so B= A-C if you know two variables then you can find third one.

I guess that’s all about the accounting.

 

Anyway, today’s class my prof. talked about Statement of Cash Flow, and Direct/ Indirect method of those cash flow statement.

Well, I understand indirect a lot caz finance class I studied, cost accounting class I studied too.

Anyway, my prof. said the statement of cash flow is the most important statement. (I guess he said, or even if he didn’t say, at least I think it is) lol

It is very useful, so I want to understand this one very well.

Anyway, I got to prepare statement of cash flow for this accounting class as well as finance class too.

I guess by the time my projects are done, I will be able to prepare statement of cash flow very well.

At least I hope I will for now.

 

Hmm, long blog today. Good night!

Finance Project

Damn finance project.

I keep trying and trying and trying, but cannot figure correct NPV out.

Prof. said NPV is going to be positive, but my calculation NPV is negative. Sigh.

What is wrong with my calculation.

Never mind, I will figure it out.

This morning, I woke up 7:30am which is pretty early for me, and went to SBA office because today is the walking advising day.

It starts from 9:00am, and sign in starts 30minitues earlier. Jo and I arrived there on 8:30am.

Anyway, we got first person to get see advisers. Yes!

I went there to ask about my remaining classes caz I don’t want surprise very last minutes.

Anyway, I guess I will going to have very hard time next semester in order to graduate the end of spring semester.

 

Upps, Jo is calling me. it’s lunch time.

I will write this later one.

See ya.

cool day

Haven’t been writing a blog for a few days.

Not like I was busy, sick, or something bad thing happened.

I was just lazy to write it.

Today is very cool day. It’s 52 degree outside.

Winter is coming.

This morning, I didn’t check outside temperature, so I just wore normal T-shirt.

When I left my apartment and immediately step out from the apt., I realized that how cold today is but too lazy to go back my room and change my clothe.

Ah, forget it. I will be outside only a few minutes anyway.

 

Last winter wasn’t exact winter what I expected, it was very warm winter.

Snow never got pile up on the ground more than a foot.

I guess and hope this winter will be more like normal ordinal winter, so I can go to skiing or snowboarding. lol

Hmmm, golfing or skiing.

I cannot choose. Both are nice, but cannot play both at the same day unless it’s in California.

Anyway, “No sports, No life.” Hmm, nice slogan.

Yesterday Night

Yesterday night, my two roommates were holding a party at my apartment.

And according to one of them, about 25 to 30 people came last night.

Yesterday night around 12:30 or 1O’clock I was about to go to sleep, and then they came back from outside

And the living room next to my bedroom became so noisy at a blast.

I couldn’t sleep another half an hour or so because of that.

Well, I was perfectly fine caz it was Friday, and I understand it’s not gonna be every weekend.

Anyway, the voice leaked from the living room made me feel very old man caz they got drunk and doing crazy things.

I can not do that anymore. Oh, I am old. Viva 25 Years Old!!!!!!!!

Is 1 week fast or slow?

Finally another week finished. Weekend came!!!!

I know that it’s all about my motivation level how fast time past,

but as you may know I am taking 7 classes this semester, and during the weekdays, I feel that time past sooooooo slow!!!

And then weekend come, spend half or more weekend for my study, homework, preparation for next week, test, etc….

This leads me to feel that my weekend pasts very fast. Feel like I haven’t done anything, and another week starts.

This semester, I am taking following classes.

l         Intermediate Accounting

l         Managerial Cost Accounting

l         Managerial Finance

l         Introduction to Organization Behavior

l         Legal environment of Business

l         Management Information System

l         Managerial Economics

Hmm, even me these classes sounds tough. Besides, these are all major courses.

Hopefully, I will pass all the classes. lol

Where is my Accounting Textbook?

Hey, it has been quite sometime since I ordered the accounting textbook and haven’t arrived yet.

Come on! I got things to do. I need to do my homework, need to prepare for the class.

Hope it will arrive another day or two, so I can still catch up with the class.

Damn seller.

 

Newborn baby

Japanese Emperor’s family got another family member.

Yesterday, they held the Naming Ceremony and named this newborn baby’s name and decide his symbol.

Anyway, this newborn baby’s name is Hisahito-sama (I guess need to put his title) and his symbol is an umbrella pine (parasol pine).

The reason why the parents chose this symbol is their wish that he grow big and straight.

Anyway, it is good to hear these kinds of news rather than hearing crappy horrible news.

Web Camera

I bought a web camera. It’s called Microsoft life cam (for $40 something).

Yesterday night, I was talking to my parent on Skype, and I was using this web cam.

Although I couldn’t see them caz they don’t have web cam yet, they were enjoying watching me. lol

It is good to show them I am doing alright.

Besides, If we both using Skype, then it’s free of charge.

Hmm, “free” what a nice sound.

Back To School

Here I am back. I haven’t been writing this blog so long. I almost forgot existence of this blog.

Anyway, I am back from the loooooooong vacation. lol

I was in Japan for 2 months. I enjoyed so much while I was in Japan. I ate lots of good stuff.

 

This semester began last week. I am taking 7 classes this semester and stressed out already.

I had little problem with my major standing, but the problem solved with wonderful cooperation of School of Business Administration (SBA) stuff.

I’m not studying mode yet, but I must be during this weekend. Otherwise, I will fail all classes.

Anyway, I will be alright. I will survive.
