Cool Guy

I like handsome male actors who are older than I am. Though I am not gay, I think I want to grow old just like them. They don’t look old. For example, Hidetoshi Nishijima, who is 48 years old now, looks in his 30’s and he is very cool. He is a late-bloomer as an actor, but now he appears in drams, magazines, and movies. Also, he trains his body and keeps in a good shape. Males in their 40’s and 50’s tend to be fat and their bellies are hanging out. I’ll never be such a fat man to keep physically healthy and to stay in a good shape. I’ll be strict to myself to get old and to become a good guy as they are.

Workout with My Friend

I went to Okayama Prefecture yesterday, which is 50km away from my apartment, to meet my friend. After picking him up at the station, we headed to the gym to workout. The three-hour training was really hard for me, but it was fun to workout with him like we used to when we were university students. After that, we went to an eat-all-you-can restaurant in a shopping mall and ate a lot. Next, we walked around the mall and went back to the station to drop him off. We can only meet a few times in a year, so I’ll make my body bigger by the next time we meet.

E-sports

There are several universities in the U.K, U.S., and other Asian countries  that launched e-sports bachelor’s and master’s degree programs according to a newspaper article. The students not only play games but also study, for example, sports management that can be useful for managing a team and organizing game events. 
Playing games used to be one of the pastimes as a kid, but now the top players in e-sports earn money as much as famous professional tennis or golf players do. 
But I think not all the students can make money by playing games after graduation because of its extreme competitiveness. I wonder how the graduate will fare after getting their degrees.

Moving to Tokyo

If you hope to work as a programmer in Japan, you should move to Tokyo. It is for the reason of the number of job openings in Tokyo is higher than the other cities. Although there are job openings in other big cities such as Nagoya, Osaka, and Fukuoka, the demand of jobs in Tokyo is the best. I live in Kagawa Prefecture at the moment which is known as the smallest and rural prefecture in Japan. I’m planning to move to Tokyo in March 2020 to get a programming job. Ideally, I would work for a company for a couple of years first. Then, I would become a freelance programmer which would allow me to have a better salary without working five days a week. I'll spend more of my free time studying programming this school year to get my dream job by next year.

Future Plan

I talked with a Filipina colleague in our school yesterday. She comes to our school on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. I said to her that I want to go to the Philippines after saving money. And then she recommended me to visit the country during the Christmas season because the day is celebrated by them on a very large scale. Going to Mall of Asia and Megamall are also in my bucket list because of her recommendation. Currently I don’t have enough savings to buy flight tickets and reserve a hotel, but I’ll visit the country and experience culture shocks. I hope to do this next year.

New Curriculum

I’ve been studying programming in an online school for two months. From August to September this year, I have studied HTML and CSS. I will be studying WordPress in October and November. I dream of becoming a front-end engineer next year, because it is an in demand and a high paying job. I feel really frustrated while studying these things, because it often happens that the program doesn’t work as I intended. But I am enduring these hardships until the next six months in order to get my dream job. I hope to get a good job next year by studying a lot these two months.

Portfolio

I have been dreaming to become a web engineer by next year. This is because it's a high paying job in the country today. Because of this, I am now studying programming through online sessions for about two months now. The class sessions will last until December this year. To attain my goal in becoming a web engineer, I really need to master the codes by now. This is because it is one of the basic skills that IT engineers are looking for nowadays. Currently, I am doing my best to finish improving the website I just made three days ago. I try to add more effects to make it more appealing. Through hard work, patience and determination to successfully make excellent websites, I know that I can be able to reach my goal of becoming a web engineer and hopefully to get hired too by next year.
