For Whom the Bell Tolls

I've totally forgotten the blog spot.
As I said I have 4 another blogs and seriously, I really was confused.

So, today I'd like to talk a little more about my surroundings.
It has been really hot these days hasn't it?
It has something to do with global warming? Does swine flu has something to do with that??

Last week, I was just like a machine, my task was to memorize my speech and complete 3 essays.
These tasks were quite tough for me, but I somehow could deal with it. So, I am very relieved and I'm feeling alive in a sense.

By the way, my housing for UCLA just kicked off and is almost completed.
All I have to do is to decide the payment system, credit or check.
Firstly, I need to get an account in Japan and America. Some say that Citi Bank stuffs are cool and useful, but others say that American bank is the most useful bank in California.
Anyway, I will have to get 2 accounts at least...One is to pay the rent, another is to check.

While I was thinking about those thing, I heard the news that new-flu case had appeared in Kanto Area. A news caster reported that the girl in Hachioji had contracted, according to Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
After that, I saw tons of people wearing masks tightly in Shirokane to try to protect from the virus.
For me, this is quite ridiculous, or even hilarious.

I saw some bottles of disinfectant in some super markets and every doorway of our university, but unfortunately, no one even cares about it.

I saw some TV programs which scare us with new-flu just like medieval pestilence in Europe.

I saw the TV commercial that Mr, Aso tells us like this " Don't panic, don't worry too much."

I love this situation, its just like a fake apocalypse.
What will happen next?
Obviously, we've experienced the North Korean missile and this Pandemic.
Will the next disaster be some kind of big earthquake??

I think during this year, we will feel quite insecure due to crisis.

I finished this article up with introduction of Metallica's song, " For Whom the Bell Tolls".

  1. That's a very good post and you mention many points. I think people are panicking too much just because of some media predictions. However, if you get consider that some people *seriously believe* that the powerful in the world want to reduce the population, then perhaps you might worry more.

    Have a read of this on the website of The Guardian (an English newspaper). It's pretty much on the ball:

  2. Thank you for your posting a comment. I heard that SARS was chemical weapon and american military force just wanted to test it. But, this rumor is quite unbelievable for me,realizing that human beings tends to accuse some kind of big power and unreliable power like Nostradamus.
