Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

People around the world are mourning the death of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.


He died yesterday at the age of 56 after his eight-year battle with pancreatic cancer.


The iPhone, the iPod, the iMac, the iPad......It boggles the mind to think about all the things that Steve Jobs did.

In 2005, he delivered the commencement address to graduating students at Stanford University.


He also refered to death in his speech like this.


", for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."

He inspired us to think beyond the limits.

May god bless his soul.

Man Utd goalie caught stealing doughnut

The super-rich Manchester United goalie David de Gea was given a yellow card for scoffing a £1.19 Krispy Kreme treat in a Tesco store then apparently attempting to leave without paying.

He'd save any shots if the ball was a doughnut.

My boss Mr. Ogura usually takes all the staffs to a sushi restaurant after classes.


But last night we had a special guest Tomoki Sato, who is now 19 and was a student of Eigonoie as well as me.


Do you want to see him??

If so, have a look at this YouTube page.

He is an artist, indeed!!


It will be a great success for Eigonoie to employ such a diligent and talented boy.





Both Tomoki and Rikiya are worthy to be people from Eigonoie.




By contrast, I commoner have been driven in a corner...

Jet coaster?

An All Nippon Airways jetliner briefly flew almost belly up when it nosedived off Shizuoka Prefecture en route to Tokyo early this morning, the Japan Transport Safety Board said Wednesday.


Flight 140 from Naha, Okinawa, with 117 crew and passengers aboard, managed to land at Haneda airport in Tokyo despite dropping around 1,900 meters from a height of about 12,500 meters in 30 seconds.



Two flight attendants were slightly hurt, while six passengers later complained of feeling unwell.


The narrow-body aircraft continued to roll until it reached 131.7 degrees to the left, leaving it almost belly up, according to the board.


See the simulation video.

Luckily, such maneuver acrobatics didn't become serious.



Aren't pilots permitted even to go to the bathroom while they are flying...?

Teenage girl dies in "exorcism"

A 13-year-old girl suffocated after she was strapped down and doused with water by her father and a monk who were trying to expel an "evil spirit".


The two men are suspected of having conspired in what they call "water service".


They allegedly strapped the victim to a chair with belts and poured water over her as an "exorcism" with the father holding the girl down whil the monk chanted sutras.

I think it was not an exorcism but a torture.


Japan adopts the freedom of religion, but human life should never be trifled with.
