Title: The Tech IPO Market Is Back

Response: Personally, After I read this article. I feel the same thing. There are too many of new technology companies go in to the stock exchange market. Just like the article concerns when this e-bubble burst. There will be a big storm impact on those new born tech companies greatly.But anything has an exception. When the Google appear in the internet market. The folks who are working for investment bank. They have the comment like this: " Google is a big bubble, it just appears fine for a very short time."But the truth is that the company like google broke those investment bankers forecast. Nowadays, millions of people are using Google's service around the globe. Finally, if there is anything guide the new born tech companies. They can avoid this fate just like Google.

A city on a ship

Report: The Allure of the Seas is the world's biggest cruise ship. It has 360 meters long, 16 decks high and can hold 6,400 passengers. Inside the cruise ship, there are many restaurants that the traveler can choose, such as Japanese and Brzilian restaurants. The cruise ship not only has many restaurants, but also has lots of shopping stores, clubs or movie theaters.

Response: To go out for a trip on a cruise ship is always one of dreams. you can see the picture on the left. Maybe they are holding a big concert!

Watching the back side of this big pretty. I feel envy for those people who get a chance and travel on board. I hope I can do SPA on the Ocean.

Something forget to post on the day of Karaoke

(Casually Style)

The weekend before last week we went to a Karaoke shop which locate in University District. I'm surprise about that actually because I don't think the Karaoke shop in America is popular so I think there is no such a place in Seattle. However, it seems like if there is a demand, therefore, there will be a supply. Brain find one in the U-District, I lived in U-District about six months, and I didn't even know that... Anyway. The time in there is fun because I sing along with so many friends. Of course, I sing Japanese songs. But the other people seems like Jay chou very much. Jay Chou is a Taiwanese singer who compose and perform the music by himself. He is a really success guy with true talent. How do I know that more. Because my boy friend is a big fan of him, and I think his music is pretty good also. My boyfriend says his music is not only good in melody, but also just like to deliver some message to the fans.

It seems the topic is getting away from the Karaoke, but I think not that bad. If I don't explain what Jay Chou is, maybe you don't even know him right? I just do my obligation, that's it.


This is an example MV of his music. I just want to give you some ideas of his music. Enjoy folks!!!

Social Networking Provides New Opportunities for Businesses

*News source from "Simple English News" 

*Report:
This news is talk about how important that a social networking website to 

a company. Through this platform, the companies will get  feed back much

more more quickly. Instead of the old style way to ask customers questions. 

Most of the companies abandon the old ways, and choose to do marketing on 

the social networking websites like Facebook or Twitter.
 

*Response:
21st century is the era of the computer and the internet.

Our society already realizes this changes in our lives. 

Facebook or Twitter links us more closer to each other. 

However, this is a obvious opportunity for the business companies, 

especially for their online marketing. In my opinion, 

the companies do marketing online save a lot on their resources. 

They can get lots of quick, efficient, and useful information on 

the social networking websites. Thus, I think our society will becomes 

more and more better than so far. I always put my faith on it. 

Just like a Jpanese company says: "ideas for life." 

Our society just like the ideas' fountain and it never dry up!

Special Event- Seattle Woodland Park Zoo

Our Woodland Park Zoo's Adventure!

        Today is a good day for a field trip. The sky is blue, the air is fresh. We go to the Woodland park zoo by bus. Of course, there is no bus from SCCC directly to the zoo. So we have to take the bus 49 to the downtown direction, and then take the bus number 5 in front of the Macy's.
      
      There are many people on the street today. Probably is because people think about Seattle is really hard to has such a nice day. So it seems like everybody is on the street doing something: Shopping, walking, taking photoes, enjoying the delicious foods, and etc...

The time when we arrive at the park, it's already 1:30 pm. We are so hungry, so we decide to have a nice meal first so that we will the power to walking around. Haha :-)

Unfortunately, the time when we got there, most of the animals were sleeping. The picture on the left is the perfect photo evidence right? Just three of them awake. The rest of them were in the sweat dream I guess. Not only those birds but also other animals. I call it:" the back style." They ignore all of us. Maybe, in my assumption. The animals in the woodland zoo think us are stupid. They just sleep after the dinner, but we have to walking around like fools. (Just kidding...)

The goats are open for tourist to take photoes, because they are so cute and friendly so that I really want a goat in my apartment. Hoever, I know this is impossible to have a goat in the apartment because they smell so bad. That is the reason why only me and Tingting take the photo with the goats. Nana says she can't stand for that killing smell. She needs tons of perfume in order to cover that smell.

Obviously, I'm not good at pointing the directions. In fact, what I impressed is that Nana is only 16 years old, but her mature gives me a very deep impression. Most of the times, Nana and Tingting are my tour guides. Me, just like a normal tuorist follow them behind. Their accurate guiding make me feel that they are reliable persons.They are not like the weak girls at all when the time comes. Just like the words like: "Don't judge a book by its cover!"

I like elephant the most, just like what I mention about this in the previous blog. There is no specific reason, I just like it. Because I think they are cute, especially the baby elephant!!!! ( This one is fake!!!)

Another place in the zoo where I spend a lot of time is the zoo's

souvenir store. I bought a lot of things in there. Haha, think about the last time when I actually come in to a zoo is about 13 years ago in Japan. This record ends today.

Due to the reason that we only have one day for this field trip. We don't have the time to visit everywhere in this zoo. I'm a little bit disappointed by this. Anyway, I'm enjoy in our field trip to the Woodland Park Zoo. On this day, we share happiness and interests together. However, when we arrive home, we are all tired!!! But my heart is happy!!! I appreciate Nana and Tingting bring me the joys, and I expect we can go out to somewhere else someday later.

Sunny Days

In the sunny days, I'd like to go to the riding club to ride horse. My club's name is Crane Riding Club. I'm pretty enjoy everytime when I go there. I usually go to this company's riding club which is located in the kanagawa county. Obviously, riding horse in the sunny days is one of my hobbies. I love enjoy the sunshine while I'm riding the horse, and across the forest breath in the fresh air that city will never have. I have a lesson in there once a week.

In Nagano county, I probably will go there once a two months, and my purpose is escape from the noisy city and enjoy the country side's silent. I'm sure that my club's members share the same feeling that I do. Sometime, we make an appointment and go to the Nagano county together to ride the horse in the forest, but somtime I go there alone.I'd like to ride horse in this amazing landscape, sometime the horse move and sometime it will stops and eats grass. I like he moves and stops, not control by anyone, Of course, I'm not gonna stop him while he is eating, I'd like just watch him when  he do so. Just like this, simple and quiet.

One time, Luckily, I had an experience in riding a horse in Hokaido. Hokaido is a very beatiful island, especially in the sunny day. No words can describe the amazing sites that I seen. I feel relax while I'm with my horse in the Hokaido's sunny day. If I'm free in the future, I'd like to ride  horse in there again. If anyone knows that is there any horse riding club in Seattle I'll definately go there and try to ride a horse in America.

 

My favorite kind of music

My favorite kind of music is Jazz, because it brings beautiful melody to me, and I feel relax when I listen to it. Of course, I love Jazz music but not all of them. My favorite Jazz musician is Keith Jarrett. He is a Jazz pianist and a composer; I think there’s something unique inside him, perhaps something like special Jazz music’s gene is in his body. I don’t know for anybody else, but for me his music can make my world’s river flows and tide rises. If I can listen his Jazz music in a quiet bar or a fancy hotel lounge, it will be better I assume. I have been to the Keith Jarrett’s concert three times in Tokyo. It was amazing! He done some improvisations during his concert, this reveals he is the musician with real talent!  I hope one day he will have a concert in Seattle in the future. I’ll definitely go there, and listen his amazing Jazz music.

My last year’s Thanksgiving in New York

I went to New York with my boyfriend on last year’s Thanksgiving. Unlike other people staying at home and enjoying their perfect turkey meal. I choose to go to New York and enjoy this long holidays. It was so much fun, We went to Times square, and bought two bags of m&ms in the m&ms’ store. There is so crazy in there, because there are thousands people in there but the space is limited. So you can use your imagination. Near by the United States recruiting station in the Times Square, there is a shirtless guy stand in the middle of the street and play guitar. Of course, we went to a Broadway’s theater to watch Lion King’s musical. I bought a lot of souvenirs, my boyfriend also purchases a lot in the NYC. We are really enjoy the trip to New York and I’ll never forget about the experience like this! It was so amazing!

My favorite animal- Elephant

     My favorite animal is elephant. The reason why I like elephant is because it is so cut! Luckily, I have been to Thailand about 12 years ago. As some of you know, the elephants in Thailand are just like the national treasure for them. Thailand people always believe that the elephants will bring them good lucks, so that you can see elephants' symble are everywhere in this mystery Asian country. 
     

     
    When I travel in this country, I get a chance to ride an actual elephant. I mean, this elephant is totally different than the elephants that we see in the city zoo. They are trained by the beast trainer. However, even this elephant was trained, but sometime he uses his big long nose asks fruits from me. For instance, apples and bananas are the most  delicious fruits for them: I know someone might don't believe me at this point. It's totally fine to have different ideas please make comments!
     
     I think it is too early for Halloween, isn't it? Because I think he is playing a "trick or treat" game with me. Again, the elephant is so cute and smart for me! Any kinds of them! Wherever I go, I'll collect the local elephants' souvenir. Well, I'm sure that I'm not crazy, but this is just one of my personal hobbies,nearly enthusiastic. At the end, I'd like to ask everyone, who can give me a real elephant as my birthday present? Because i really want it as my pet in my apartment. I hope this apartment is big enough. If someone can do so, that will be wonderful.

Introduction About me

       My name is Satsuki. I came from Japan and was born in Tokyo. I live in an apartment with my mom and
lovely pet, his name is Febe. The activity that I like to do in my free time in Japan is to play Mahjong, and I have a professional player's certificate on it. My dog Febe sometimes is really smart, especially when he hears I say the word "food". Every morning he will do a special exercise on my leg. He seems to enjoy in doing this, but I think this is a sexual harassment. Well, he didn't meant to do that, just after a genital surgery he turns like this. I feel so sorry for him, poor little thing, but the doctor says this is natural instead of the surgery failure. So every time when he is ready to do that exercise. I'll tell Febe :"Febe, today is no dinner for you, ok?" Soon, he stops what he is trying to do, he just turns around and leaves as if he understands what I said. He is so smart, isn't he? I like to eat the delicious food, but I'm worried about getting fat from taking too many calories. Sometimes I struggle for that matter. These are the lifes of mine.
