Hi, I’m carpediem. The name means “seize the day” in Latin. Well, you know it’s easier said than done…. :D (I apparently don’t deserve using the word, but this is my pet theory. XD) I live in Osaka, Japan and work for an audit firm as a CPA.

Time goes by so quickly. It's already been 6 years since I became a CPA.

The older you get, the less you grow aggressive.
Stable than change.
Routine than challenge.
Experience than imagination.

……………………Still, I'M NOT LOOKING FOR SUCH A STABLE LIFE.

I CANNOT RESIGN the hope to work abroad somewhere.

I believe that I can still keep it up.

It’ll come someday that I deserve the word “carpediem”. XD

If you're so gentle that you don't give a damn about wasting times, please stop by here and read such worthless posts.... XD


Shall we be friends if you like.......

Haruki Murakami.
Ryuichi Sakamoto.
Astor Piazzolla.

Sweet Revenge / Ryuichi Sakamoto

An interest in the culture is essential to learning the language.

If I’m going to list the whole type of Japanese learners here, it’d be…. (1) I adore Japan! (2) Though I’m not really interested in Jap...

A ladylike way for women to sit on the lawn in Western countries.

As you all would know, for Japanese people, it’s natural to sit directly on the floor in the living room. (Of course it’s limited to on t...

Ahaha, this gentleman always has the most interesting topics as journal entries. I enjoy reading his journals because they give me a new perspective on a different culture and its inhabitants.
