Diary from Bef-Parade

I heard that I should contact the gas company to make a new contract at least five days in advance, and I need to have a gas company staff member open the main valve in my presence.

So, I predict that I won't be able to take a bath for the first week.

2024/5/20

This Friday to Sunday, I'll move my stuff and prepare to live in a new place, and I'll start working at my new assignment in next monday.

However, the company housing I'm going to live in hasn't been determined yet!

I haven't set up contracts for utilities, such as water, gas, electricity, and internet.

But, unbelievably, today I have to join a drinking party with my female colleagues.

I really think that we have no time to do that!

Now I feel a bad headache...

My company is really crazy.

2024/5/19

I'm exhausted!

Today, I managed to accomplish the preparations for moving next week...

I talked to my mom on the phone about it many times; however, it made me happy because I hadn't talked to her for a long time!

But this time, I made her do a lot of work to pack my stuff...sorry mom :-(

On another topic, I want to write about my idea for learning English.

I'll try to train my pronunciation by mimicking English songs!

My recent favorite song is 'Build Our Machine.' It's the theme song of the horror game 'Bendy and the Ink Machine.'

I haven't played this game yet. It seems very interesting and the song is so cool!

If I can mimic the singing perfectly, my speaking skills will absolutely improve!

2024/5/18

I had a day off today.

I'm still keeping up with my English diary...

I gotta work on moving tomorrow!

2024/5/17

I found out where I'm being assigned!

I need to prepare for moving this weekend.

It's a hassle.

Additionally, the colleague I really hate is assigned to the same place!

I feel awful...

2024/5/16

I'm very tired!

Most of today's training was practical, and the schedule was so tight...

Also, the important test I mentioned yesterday was taken as planned.

Actually, the test was easier than I expected!

I didn't need to be afraid of it too much.

I should have gotten a full score! It was very close!

But I'm so relieved to pass the examination.

Tomorrow, I'll be informed where I'm assigned.

It hasn't sunk in yet that I'll find out where I'll be assigned soon.

I...I'm not good at making my place in a new environment.

2024/5/15

I apologize that the length of this diary is shorter than usual.

But I have an important examination tomorrow, so I have to study for it from now on!

The passing line of the test is 70 points.

I think it's very difficult.

If this keeps on, I'll definitely fail it.

I want to claim victory.

I won't give up until the end!

2024/5/14

During the latter half of the afternoon, I learned about the basics of electrical equipment, but I found it too difficult.

At the beginning, I managed to apply some of the physics knowledge I learned in high school.

However, for the most part, it was all Greek to me!

Of course, I tried to understand them, but I couldn't manage it, because our supervisor rushed through the lesson so quickly...

All I could do was copy everything they wrote...

Actually, we have an exam on this topic and other subjects in three days, and if I fail, I'll have to retake the same lessons and exams, which would put me behind everyone else!

Additionally, I'll have to go through the process of applying for the general entrance exam myself!

I feel a sense of danger for them and so nervous...

In addition, we will be informed of the details about main assignment this weekend.

My mind is terribly confused!

2024/5/13

Today, I took a day off and I'll explain the reason why.

I attended a drinking party with my colleagues last Friday, but one of them informed us that they had been infected with COVID-19 on Sunday.

...This morning, my throat was irritated and I had bad diarrhea.

So, I called our supervisor to inform them that I might have been infected with COVID-19, and I went to the hospital to get tested for it and influenza.

I was afraid of spreading the infection to others...!

Fortunately, the test results showed that both were negative.

I tried to go to work in the afternoon, but the supervisor told me I had to take the day off due to company rules.

I don't think my decision was wrong, but I'm worried about catching up on today's work.

2024/5/12

Lately, I've been feeling... a bit down.

I've been reflecting on why I wrote such a small amount in my diary yesterday and the day before.

However, I admire myself for keeping up with the habit of writing an English diary, even though the length of entries varied greatly from day to day.

So, today's diary, I'm trying to make up for it.

Last Friday, I was looking forward to the drinking party with all my colleagues.

However, I had to leave the party early because I vomited and got blackout drunk.

I'm not sociable person and I don't have friends going eating out, so I'm not familiar with these party..

I was embarrassed to expose my shame for everyone, there was a decent number of younger colleagues!

They'll all think of me as 'the fucking puke'!

I feel soooo nervous about next week...

What should I do to make up for my failure?

...I mention to the next topic.

For the last week, I've eaten the dried fish of horse mackerel everyday.

It's so tasty...I love it!

I really like to eat not only the part of meat but also the leather and born, which were baked crispy by toaster.

But it is so salty because it contains a lot of salt to enhance its preservability and umami.

After health check, it turns out that I have a high blood pressure.

Therefore, I must stop eating the dried fish, but I really don't want to do!

Because this is the only fun in my life recently...

2024/5/11

I had a bad hangover, so I had a lazy day.

Without a doubt, I'll write a lengthy English diary and listen to the English lesson on the radio tomorrow.

2024/5/10

I drank too much alcohol and threw up terribly!

So I left halfway through the event....

I'm still feeling nauseated...

I'm disappointed in myself!

I feel down about going to work next week...

2024/5/9

I am in so much pain... terrible headache, came back again.

There are many things I want to do and need to do...

But I can't do anything right now.

I'm getting frustrated with myself.

2024/5/8

I have been busy since this morning.

I purchased a gift for my mother, but I mistakenly sent it to my own address.

So, I called the delivery service and changed the address as soon as I arrived at work.

I've experienced so many things during training today.

We had a lesson about the dangers of working in the plant, through participatory programs.

The examples we learned included the human error, the leakage accident, the high altitude accident, oxygen deficiency, and so on.

I've learned the importance of safety precautions in the workplace the hard way.

These lessons were really motivating.

I will keep them in mind and want to apply them in my future work.

2024/5/7

The second half of the new employee training started today.

The new groups were organized, and the new group members were so friendly, which eased my worries!

However, I had a terrible headache today.

I was in so much pain, especially in the afternoon... My face looked terrible.

These behaviors made other members suspicious.

I felt embarrassed and ashamed...

I wish I could redo today's events..

2024/5/6

Yesterday, I wondered if I should go to the zoo with my new colleagues.

However, my unfounded worries turned out to be nothing today.

I'm glad I decided to go.

Everyone was kind to me, and all the animals were so cute.

Especially the elephants, the last animals we saw, were amazing!

One of them stood up and came over to us while eating food.

These experiences were so exciting and unforgettable for me.

I hope to visit various places with them.

2024/5/5

I'm going to the zoo with all my female colleagues tomorrow.

I'm looking forward to it, but I'm also feeling quite nervous.

The reason for my nerves is because I'm very shy, not very cooperative, and I worry that they might not like me.

Everyone has encouraged me not to isolate myself, but during the training period before Golden Week, I struggled to have good conversations with them.

I fear that our disconnect will become apparent to everyone.

This makes me incredibly nervous.

I want to make a good impression, but I'm not sure what to do.

Can someone help me out?

2024/5/4

Today, I didn't do anything creative, but I couldn't help it.

Yesterday, I played this interesting game called "Reap the Family Restaurant".

Its official English name is "Enjoy the Dinner", but it doesn't feel quite right to me.

The story, gameplay system, music, and artwork of this game are all wonderful and unique in their own ways.

Especially the artwork, it's the most beautiful thing I've seen up until 2024.

So today, I did some research about this game, such as looking into other games made by the same creator and the game engine used.

Additionally, I watched archived videos of my favorite game distributor playing this game!

To be honest, that's the main reason I played it.

Experiencing the game myself and watching others play it helped me understand and enjoy it even more.

So overall, I don't think today's activities were too bad.

2024/5/3

I'm writing this diary after completing the aerobic exercise I mentioned yesterday.

The state of my mind right now can be summed up in one word: 'great'.

Despite feeling some discomfort in various parts of my body, it's a welcome feeling for me.

Both my brain and body feel in extremely good condition.

I can't help but wonder why I hadn't exercised for the past few days... I regret it!

I'm committed to continuing this exercise habit.

On another note, I purchased the English word book that I used in high school to improve my vocabulary skills in English.

However, there are few reviews of it in web search results.

I'm torn between two choices:

should I continue learning English words using the same familiar text, or opt for a highly rated text available on the internet?

2024/5/2

I woke up at 5:30 a.m. today to take out the trash by 7:00 a.m., as mandated by city regulations.

However, despite having plenty of time in the morning, I didn't accomplish anything productive.

Instead, I found myself just watching videos on Youtube.

I haven't exercised in the last three days, which I think is the most concerning issue.

But when I sat down at my desk, I felt a strong reluctance to move.

However, as I write this diary, I notice all my muscles feeling weak.

So, I'm determined!

Once I finished today's English study, I'll immediately start the aerobic exercise I used to do.

2024/5/1

Today, I only managed to accomplish a few tasks.

I made a reservation at the hair salon for 4:00 p.m., but until then, I did nothing productive.

I woke up at 10:00 a.m., and my mind seemed fixated on just one thing, unable to focus on anything else.

Despite having the entire day free, I wasted a lot of time.

What's wrong with me?

Tomorrow, I plan to wake up early, take a stroll around my apartment building, and do some stretches to get back on track.
