June Japanese Table Talk (This is last one until August or September)

Last Friday, I went to a Japanese Table Talk which is once a month event for Greenville, NC. I know that I maybe thought that this will be my last one attending or maybe not. Well, that is not what I was going to talk about today. This time Japanese Table Talk was so much better and fun culture exchange with American people. We had Japanese culture food as usual but this time was cooking at the place where we meet. We had Takoyaki, Okonomiyaki, Makizushi and So-men. I was not able to eat many of them, but I thought that American people loved to taste the Japanese food a lot more than usual. Also, several people were leaving from here, and we will miss them a lot. But I am sure new people are going to come here after they left. BUT still I will miss them a lot. Oh yes, we took a great group picture together! I am really happy to see that how many people came to here.

here is the group picture.

 I hope this will continue and glow every year!

Have a great summer everyone~!

last night dinner

I had a good dinner last night, and I like to eat like that sometime another night next week or maybe later
(昨夜の夕食は良いものを食べました。また来週か今月末にでももう一回作れればと思っています)
this month. I tried to make/cook some kind of a good dinner, and I like to use the my favorite dishes.
(毎回夕食を作るときはいいものをそしていいお皿を使えればと思いつつ料理をしています。)
Well, it is a really simple dinner, but using a good dishes, that makes dinner meal better than what I eat...
(まぁ、言い換えれば簡単な料理でも食器が良いものであれば、見栄えが良くなるってことでも。)
By the way, I like to know what kind of dinner will be best to make a day. Oh yeah, it is just depend on
(ところで、その日のいい夕食ってどんなものなんだろうという風に考えたりします。そう言っても、)
what you like to eat for dinner, that will be the best dinner that moment. So I even don't care about what I
(自分が好きな夕食が良い夕食だということになって、しかもそれが良い夕食になるという感じです)
am going to eat anyway. I hope this makes sense to you. I just want to say that what you like is the best
(自分的にはあまり気にしてない事が多いです。これって意味が通じますかね？言いたいことは、)
thing what you are making and cooking it.
(自分が料理した夕食が毎回最良な食事であると言うことです。)
I hope everyone has a good dinner tonight!
(今夜、皆さんが良い夕食をだべられますように！)

Dinner : beef stew, miso soup, rice and tea
Dishes : Fire King Azurite Swirl and Snoopy Mug.

What Kind of New Technology will be the NEXT???

what new technology will be next?

I was thinking now what would be next technology with mobile devices... Well, smart watches are coming up from a lot of companies... Well, how about anything new? 
Huh, I don't know what to think yet, but I know that people are little bit getting tired of all smartphones. It is a good thing that new thing comes up now than in the future. However, it is hard to image a new mobile device since we have smart watch, mobile phone, cellphone, smartphone, Tablet devices, LapTops and Computers.
However, one thing we don't have yet for our life, that is less battery required devices. It is hard to maintain for all devices without battery right now. But our battery is short of time use for most of them (unless you don't use it for more than 1~2 hours a day). Well, maybe next few years people will develop to have less battery required devices... or no battery needs. I know several cellphone had solar powered charging system, but that take more time than just changing from plug. Well, maybe soon, we will have better technology for solar power charging system. Well, I like to use my cellphone anytime, but still short battery life... So sometime I need to have charger with me... 

What would you think our next technology be?

T-Mobile will be not what people expected for their announcement.

Well, T-Mobile was announced that 200MB free for everyone who like to use their network, and who are not customer for them still be able to use it. Well, that was a really good deal for everyone who like to use minimum of their data on iPad, iPad Air, and iPad mini so on. It is a good to be true now, because actually the people who tried to get T-Mobile with an iPad Air and a lot of time they found out that it is actually have fee for 200MB data user for monthly, and that will cost $10.00/month. That means they will have to pay monthly cost instead of total free. Well, that was what I was kind of expected to hear from people who has not have T-Mobile cellphone or monthly payment. Well, almost all website said that " If you cancel wireless service, remaining balance on device becomes due. 0% APR O.A.C for well-qualified buyers."  So that means some kind of monthly plan is required  or may need to have somehow track the contract with T-Mobile. Well, that was catch for all people who like to have 200MB for free, but they need to have some kind of monthly payment at same time for T-Mobile. If not, T-Mobile will just lose their money for iPad Air and iPad mini. So that is really a true thing that 200MB free is not free actual cost is $10. 

Also, if you try to buy from online, you can not choose 200MB data plan any at all. AND it is only shows that minimum data plan is 500MB, and will cost you monthly for $46.25 include iPad Air cost. However, that makes people will think that where that free 200MB announcement for all people for life?? 
Compare that reality to what T-Mobile said in a press release last week:

And every T-Mobile iPad user will receive 200 MB of free 4G LTE data every month for as long as they own their iPad, even if they aren’t yet a T-Mobile customer.

Where is this T-Mobile words gone??? Well, T-Mobile is not provide all over 4G LTE places in the USA and/or other places where they are trying to have 4G LTE speed cellphone connection. Well, I hope this will help you to decide which model of iPad Aid you would like to get.

Well, really not able to sleep last night.

I was trying to sleep last night, but I could not sleep any at all.... I hope I will sleep little bit tonight if I can sleep....

Today's Early dinner!

I was trying to figure out some kitchen cleaning online, and figure out some things. Then I went shopping
(台所の片付けをする為の道具やらいろいろをインターネットで探して買い物に出かけました。ここ)
to several Grocery Stores in Greenville, NC. After, that I decided to eat early dinner for today. I didn't
(グリーンビルにあるお店を何件か回りました。その後で、夕食を作って早めに食べようと思ったん)
eat lunch, and I was hungry that time. Well, it was a quick cooking for dinner. I cook Salmon Tataki.
(です。昼食を食べていないかったので、かなりお腹が空いていました。でも、夕食はかなり簡単に)
Because that salmon was less expensive than usual, so I decided to buy at store where I went to buy
(作りました。しかも、サケのたたきです。なぜかというとかなり安かったからです。お店で見て)
some grocery food and stuff. Well, I just cooked only Salmon Tataki. So it was really quickly to finish
(すぐに買ってしまいました。他にも買い物はしました。まぁ、夕食はサケのたたきだけ料理しました)
and ate all after that. I just took pictures for dinner. Oh yeah, I just Fire King dish as well, but this time I
(他に作るのがなかったんですが･･･ちゃんと写真も取りました。そうそう今回使用したファイヤー)
use primrose  ones. I haven't use that dish for long time. Well, I like that dish, but sometime I forgot that
(キングの食器はプリムローズです。結構最近使ってませんでした。あることすら忘れかけていました)
I have it.... AHAHA. Well, I hope everyone enjoy your dinner time!
(いけない。いけない。アハハ。皆さんの夕食も楽しいもでありますように!)

Here is my dinner.

Dinner: Salmon Tataki, Rice, Harusame Soup
Fire King Primrose dishes

Japanese TV show 'Waratte Iitomo!' to end in March after three decades

Waratte Iitomo!

That's kind of sad to hear news from Japan that Japanese TV show "Waratte Iitomo!" will be finish in
(日本の民放番組の「笑っていいとも！」が来年の3月いっぱいをもって放送終了になるという悲しい)
March, 2014. This show was a longest Japanese variety show since 1982. So that means 32 years of TV
(ニュースがありました。これのバラエティーショーは1982年から続く一番長いテレビ番組として歴史に)
history it has. It was suddenly Mr. Tamori (Morita Kazuyoshi) said during show on October 22nd, 2013.
(名前が上がっています。2013年10月22日のお昼の放送の中でタモリさん(森田一義氏)が突然の発表)
I am sure a lot of people are surprised this announcement. I hope some kind of a good show will start in
(これにはたくさんの方が驚いたのではないかと思います。いいともが終了後は、それに負けない)
April 2014, but I can not believe that is happening. When I watched the TV that time, I like to watch this
(ような番組が2014年4月から放送されればいいかもしれないです。でも、それは。。。テレビを見る)
lunch time show when I am at home from I was child. However, I will not be able to see this show any
(時は結構この番組を小さい頃から見ていた気がします。しかしながら、来年3月以降はもう見る事は)
more after in March 2014. So it will have five more months.... I hope to see this sometime for special or
(できなくなってしまうのです。あと5ヶ月だけになってしまったのかと思うと。。。何らかの特番で今後)
something.
(放送などがあればいいなぁ。)

Gachapin and Mukku with Mr. Tamori

昨日はちょっと疲れがたまっていたけど。。。(Yesterday, I was tired, but .....)

Yesterday, I was really really tired and I didn't even think about what I like to eat any at all... but still I had
(昨日は少し疲れていて、何も作る気もしないかったけど夕食はちゃんと作って食べないといけないか)
a good dinner. I had a fried vegetable with beef, rice, and Soup with vegetable. Also, I made peach tea
(と思いました。最終的にはいいご飯にありつけました。メニューは肉野菜炒め、ご飯そして御吸物)
for drink. I even think that will be a good dinner first, but after all my dinner was a good one for me. I like
(でした。そしてピーチ紅茶を飲みました。思っていたよりも美味しい夕食になりました。野菜中心で)
to eat vegetables more now. ahaha. This time, I use Fire King Turquoise Blue bowl, Jadeite Jane Ray
(と考えていたので、この料理になってます。今回はファイヤーキングのターコイズブルーのボウル)
lunch dish, Jadeite D-Mug, and Japanese miso soup bowl. So I had four different dishes and three kind
(ジェダイジェイレーンのお皿、ジェダイのDマグ、と日本の御味噌汁茶碗です。このように4つ違う物)
of color ones. I wanted to use all same dish, but I didn't use a lot of dish. So I decided to use different
(を使うのは珍しいです。でも、さすがに持っているいろいろな食器を使わなくては損。と思って違う)
ones. So that way, I can keep all dishes what I have I am going to use. It is not a good thing that I won't
(食器を使うことに。こうすれば、持っている食器を出来るだけ使えると思います。ただ食器棚にある)
use and just sitting there.
(だけだと勿体ない！)

Here is my dinner picture.

MacBook update has one disappointed point!

OS X Mavericks

OS X Mavericks has been disable to move forward and back in Finder on Trackpad. Previous
(OS X Mavericksでは、ファインダーないでのフォルダ移動がトラックパットを使って簡単に)
versions have been able to use that three finger swipe system forward and back for Finder, but now it
(できなくなっています。前までは３本指を使ったスワイプ操作でできていましたが、今回の)
is disable and won't be able to use. It would make people to have some inconvenience, but people
(アップデートからは出来なくなってしまったようです。少しだけ不便になったように感じる)
will get used it for under this OS X Mavericks. Well, I was really liked to use that three fingers swipe
(人もいると思います。自分も結構使っていたので、これによって最初は戸惑っていました。)
for forward and back in Finder, but now I need to do clicking. I hope next update Apple will change
(しかし、今はクリック操作でやることになれようと思っています。次のアップデートでは、)
back to have this one able to use.
(これがまた使えるようになるといいと思います。)

Here is some shortcut system use for Finder forward and back little bit easier.
(ここに他の方法でFinderの「進む・戻る」の操作の仕方を紹介しておきます。)
1. use shortcut keyboard keys
(① キーボードショートカット)
going to forward for Finder "comm + ["
(「進む」は「comm + [ 」)
going back for Finder "comm+]"
(「戻る」は「comm + ] 」)

2. use BetterTouchTool
(② BetterTouchToolを使う)
Downloads » BetterTouchTool, BetterSnapTool & SecondBar　(リンク先)
This BetterTouchTool is making your own setting for trackpad, and this is free software. When you
(このBetterTouchToolはトラックパット操作をカスタマイズできる無料ソフトです。これを)
start using this one, you will like and addicted for using this one.
(使い始めると結構やみつきになるかもしれないですよ。)

that will make little bit easier to forward and back between folders in Finder.

Apple OS Mavericks (it is free OS upgrade!

Apple

Apple has been announced that new MacBook OS which is OS Mavericks, and it is all free for upgrade for Apple MacBook users. That is a good thing OS upgrade is free, and I download after that. I am trying to figure out what it is getting better than before. Also, Apple was announced that it should make battery life longer than previous OS for MacBook. That will make better using performance for older ones.  My MacBook batter is 1.5 to 2 hours before, but now it is 3 to 4 hours. So that makes twice better battery life than before. Well, it is a good thing that you can use that as long as OS is upgradable and maybe it is a good thing for people who like to use Apple MacBook for your own computer. Apple should have another product for MacBook soon I hope!

iPad mini

Apple

New iPad mini was announced on October 22nd, 2013 from Apple, and it was additional features to 
(2013年10月22日には、new iPad miniの発表もアップル社からあり、今までのiPad miniに新たに)
current iPad mini. Also, this time Apple was announced that iPad mini will have Retina Display which is 
(機能や技術を追加した製品となりました。そしてiPad miniのディスプレイがついにRetinaディスプレイ)
high resolution display. This Retina display's resolution is higher than iPad Air and same as iPhone 5S 
(になってさらに高画像が映し出せるようになりました。これでiPad miniの画面がiPad Airよりもより)
display resolution. So this will be a good display to get one. Apple wrote that "2048-by-1536 resolution 
(綺麗な映像を見ることが出来、iPhone 5Sと同じものになりました。アップル社が独自のサイトで)
at 326 pixels per inch (ppi)" for display explain on the website. So that means it is a good quality display for 
(「2,048 x 1,536ピクセル解像度、326 ppi」と言っている事からもわかります。つまり、これほどよい)
iPad mini now after it comes to market. However, other than that it has not change much from current one to 
(画面でiPad miniを今後は作っていくということです。しかしながら、他の機能に関してはこれといった)
new one. So maybe people are not too excited but getting retina display is the best option for iPad mini and 
(新しい機能やテクノロジー技術の追加がされているわけではなく多くの方が少しがっかりしたかも)
it is a good display after all. I am going to look and read more about this new iPad mini today, and I write 
(しれません。でも、画面の解析度は使う人にとっては重要なものです。また、後ほどもっと詳しく)
more update information if I find anything new to added.

Fried Vegetable with Beef cook within 5 minutes!

I made this morning fried vegetable with Beef for one of my dish, but cooking time was only 5 minutes
(今朝、牛肉野菜炒めを朝食の1品として作りました。でも、5分くらいで作ったのがわかったのは)
before rice cooker was finished making rice. Usually, I take more time than that I thought, but when I
(ご飯が出来上がるまでの時間の確認でわかりました。いつもはもっと時間をかけて作っていたのか)
start cutting and cooking, I recognized that I made within 5 minutes for fried vegetable with beef. I will
(と思っていたのでしたが、意外と5分ほどで肉野菜炒めを作れることに気がつきました。どうやって)
show that how I made it.
(作ったかをここに書いておきます。)

Fried Vegetable with Beef
Fire King Azurite Swirl lunch dish

Step 1.
Cutting the vegetables (onion and cabbages).
(まずは、野菜をきります。)
Onion is 12 equal parts or just balanced to cut for one bit size.
(たまねぎは12等分か一口サイズにきります。)
Cabbage (1/4 of whole one)is cut for one bit size, and green onion for small shredded.
(キャベツ(1個の4分の1) は一口サイズよりちょっと大きめ位にきって、細ねぎは細切りにします。)

Step 2.
seasoning combination, I use seasoning for cooking sake 20~30 ml, Ajimirin (flavor sweet cooking rice
(調味料はというと先に計っておきます。使うのは料理酒20~30ml、味みりん40~50ml、そして)
wine) 40~50ml, and light salt soy sauce 10~20ml.  Total is around 70~100ml.
(塩の量が少ないお醤油を10~20mlの割合です。合計で大体70~100mlくらいの調味料です。)

Step 3.
Frying pan with one to two spoons of vegetable/olive oil and put on High heat.
(まずはフライパンに野菜油かオリーブ油をスプーン１～２くらいいれて強火で温めます。)

Step 4. 
when it is getting warm put onion, then stir fry for onion until get all heated (before that 30 seconds of
(フライパンが温まったら、まずはたまねぎを入れて芯まで火が通るほどに炒めます(30秒くらい電子)
microwave would be help to cook faster.) Then, put sliced beef and stir frying for 30 seconds.
(レンジで温めると早く芯まで炒められます。)。その後、スライスした牛肉を入れて30秒炒めます)

Step 5. 
Cabbage, carrot, and Shredded Green Onion put into Frying Pan, and cook for 3 minites to all heated
(その後、キャベツ、ニンジン、きざんだ細ねぎをフライパンに入れます。そして約3分ほど炒めます)
and cook all of them heated ok then put seasonings. Then 1 minutes to finish cooking.
(そして十分火がとっていたら調味料を加えます。そして1分炒めておわりです。)

So total time is around/less than 5 minutes. My dish is really quickly to cook and trying to my best for
(合計の料理時間は大体5分かそれ以下です。自分が作る料理は時間をあまりかけないようにして)
cooking meals. I hope this will help you to make lunch or dinner when you don't have much time or tired
(作っています。昼食や夕食をちょっと今日は時間かけたくないとかという感じの時に参考になれば)
to make food for yourself.
(と思います！)

iPad Air

iPad and iPad mini

Yesterday, Apple Inc. has announced that iPad and iPad mini. I was reading what it is new feature and so 

(昨日、アップル社の方からiPadとiPad miniの新作発表がありました。今朝になってもう一度新しい)

on. Well, iPad is now called iPad Air and has new design for all advance technology for one pound 

(機能等の読み返しをしてました。まぁ、今回のiPadはiPad Airという名前になり1ポンドという軽さ)

(454g) now. That is 28% lighter than previous design one and has 20% thinner than last one. But it is not 

(になっているようです。前作より28%も軽くなってしかも20%も薄くなっているようです。しかし、機能)

too different from outside design from previous ones like iPad 2 to iPad 4. That part is little bit 

(はそこまでiPad2~iPad4から変わったという感覚になりませんでした。そこは少しだけがっかりした点)

disappointed for many people. But it has been chance for thinner and lighter weight, and speed of 

(でした。でも、軽くなって、薄くなりさらに読み込みのスピードが前よりも速くなったなどの点にお)

processor. So that part is a good for many people who does not have iPad before. I like that part of 

(いてはすごく良かったと思います。これらの部分は持ってない人が新しく買う分には良くなっている)

product, but still not way too much different from iPad 2 ~ iPad 4 for some of them. Maybe, next year 

(のではないかと・・・でも、本当にそこまで変わったかといわれるとそうではない気がします。たぶん)

Apple will change for iPad design? or not. But it is not call anymore for iPad with number. This year, it is 

(来年はiPadのデザインをもう少し変えてくるのではないか？なぁ・・・でも、呼び方はかわりました。)

called iPad Air. So it is changed that way and this mean iPad Air will have some kind of influence for 

(今年からiPad Airとなっています。これによってMacBook Air等にも少しは影響があるかと思いま)

MacBook Air later? or next year? Well, Apple will have some kind of product changed soon I hope!

(す。これからのアップル社の新作商品にもっと期待がもてるかもしれないですね。)

iPad Air

 Looking at this you can see some design changes, but can't see too much change from previous iPad.
(デザインの少々変わった点が見て取れると思いますが、前作までのiPadからそこまで変わっていません。)

Breakfast~!

I was trying to make some meal for breakfast today. This morning was not too bad weather so far, but I
(朝食をなにかちゃんと作らないといけないと考えました。今朝はあまり悪くない天気でしたが、何か)
was little bit tired much more than I thought. Well, it is ok now. After I woke up, I still lying down on the
(身体がだるく感じてなりませんでした。まぁ、今はもう大丈夫ですが。起きた後も、身体がだるく)
bed and trying to figure out what I am going to do. First, I thought I should make a good breakfast, and
(ベットに横になって、何をしようかなど色々と考えていました。まず最初に考えたのは、朝なんで)
that will give me some kind of energy after that. Also, I thought that I am going to read some stuff from
(朝食を作って、栄養やエネルギー取ろうと思ったんです。さらに、朝食後に今調べたりしている)
website until I will watch a drama later day. I just thinking about what I like to do for research right now.
(物を読んだりして過ごし、あとで水曜日に放送されるドラマを見ようと思っています。まぁ、今リサー)
Well, it is a good thing that I know what I can do for several days today through this weekend. Oh yes, I
(チしているテクノロジーやコンピュータに関係しているものを今週中は調べながらやっていくかなぁ)
will make a good meal tonight sometime I hope.
(今夜は何かいい食事ができればと思っているんです。)
I use Fire King Azurite Swirl dish for breakfast, and it is a pale color dish. So it is a good breakfast dish.
(今回使用したのはﾌｧｲﾔｰｷﾝｸﾞのｱｽﾞﾗｲﾄ･ｽﾜｲﾙです。これらは淡い色なので朝食に結構合います)

Tonight dinner was two different one!

I had dinner with  my roommate tonight, but we both wanted to different things. So I decided to make
(今夜の夕食はルームメイトと一緒に食べましたが、二人とも違う食事でした。なので、自分は、)
myself for beef steak and my roommate made Salmon steak for dinner. We both cook differently, but eat
(自分の食べたいステーキ、ルームメイトは鮭焼きをそれぞれ料理しました。料理するのはバラバラ)
same time. lol But still we both eat rice and miso soup which I made that one. I taught my roommate that
(でも、食べるのは一緒でした。まぁ、ご飯と味噌汁は自分が作りました。お味噌するの作り方は)
how to make miso soup, but he hasn't learned that one yet (well he just lazy to make it)... I guess. Well, it
(教えたんですが、やはり覚えていないのか(ただ単に作りたくないだけなのか)･･･作ろうとは･･･)
is ok, because miso soup is not that difficult to make and not that much time I need to spend for
(まぁ、それは良いとします。味噌汁は簡単に作れますし、時間もさほどかかるものではないので)
cooking. When I set up my dinner and take picture that time I thought why not to take picture that my
(すぐに作っておきました。料理したものを並べている時に写真を撮ったんですが、ついでにルー)
roommate made one too! So I took both main dishes. I asked my roommate to give me some of salmon
(ムメイトのも撮っておきました。両方とも美味しく出来上がっています。鮭が美味しそうだったので、)
steak he made one, and I gave my steak for some part of it. So it is deal for exchange food. I liked that
(ちょっとだけステーキと交換してもらいました。自分のも渡しました。もらうだけではないです。)
salmon, but it was what I told him to make it recipe.... haha. Well, I am glad that I know if I don't wanna
(でも、鮭の味付けは自分が教えたものでした。アハハ。という事は次からはそれを頼んで作って)
make sometime maybe I can ask my roommate to make for me that salmon steak and rice! not miso
(もらう事ができるということですよね。それにご飯も。お味噌汁はさすがに自分で作ることにしますが)
soup.... I use Fire King Azurite Swirl dishes this time. I will post my dinner below here.
(今回使ったのはファイヤーキングのアズライトスワールです。写真も下に載せておきます。)

here is my dinner

This was my dinner tonight

Oh yes! I almost forgot that when I was eating dinner that time my dogs wanted to eat some of my meat.
(あ、そうだ！ご飯を食べている時にペットの犬たちがそれが欲しいと見ていたので少しあげました。)
So I asked them to try to take from me, and I made them to try heard to get it. :D They can get just one
(あげると言ってもすんなり出はなくちゃんと何かをしてからじゃないと思ってトリックをさせてました。)
piece of my steak meat for each one, but both of Hana and Kuki worked hard enough to get that one. I
(まぁ、貰えたのは1ピースだけなんですが、ハナもクウキも両方頑張ってそれをもらう事が出来て)
hope they had a good taste of meat. But they were so cute when I look at so I got picture for both. I will

Typhoon 27th is toward to Japan.

In Japan, they just had Typhoon No. 26 which is called "WIPHA" and had enormous damage for right 
(今現在、日本では台風26号(ウィパー)によって結構大きな被害が出ているという情報や報道が)
now. However, Typhoon No.27 which is called "FRANCISCO". It has been formed very nicely, and 
(ありました。しかしながら、今日未明に台風27号(フランシスコ)が発生しました。そしてバランスが)
developing much faster than Typhoon No.26. So it maybe stronger than No.26, and will coming toward 
(よく発達も速いタイプなので、台風26号よりも強くなる可能性が示唆されています。そしてしかも)
to Japan now for prediction. Hopefully not too strong for this one, since Japan had several damages 
(これもまた日本へと向かう進路を取ると予想されています。今回はそこまで強くないといいのですが、)
already. If this Typhoon is becoming a lot stronger than weather forecast is talking. Just stay in your 
(すでに、被害もでています。予報以上に台風が強くなる可能性もなくはないということです。なので、)
home and try not to go out during Typhoon is there. I am hoping that Typhoon No.27 (FRANCISCO) 
(なるべく安全な場所や建物の中で台風が来ている間は過ごすことが良いかと思います。台風27号が、)
will not affect too much to Japan.
(被害を出さないように祈っています。)

this will make my stomach better and maybe later, I can eat better food for dinner or something. I was

(ファイヤーキングサンライズのカップとソーサをまた使うことに。これは一回使ったことあるんですが、)
that makes yogurt better look. ahaha. Well, I was happy to see that and watch some video what I missed

was released in 2007. That iPhone 3G had 3.5 inches display, and it had a first 3G connection phone ever 

(変更したものです。iPhone 3Gは3.5インチのスクリーンと初めて3Gスピードでの携帯通信が可能と)

it got. But first, I couldn't get it because I was away from USA, and I had different company that time 

(なった機種でした。しかし、日本にいて買えなかったし、他の携帯会社を使っていて出たときは)

also. However, when I came back that time, I decided to change phone company with my roommate, so 

(買うことは出来ませんでした。しかし、帰ってきてからちょっとして携帯会社を変えることをきめ、)

that way it was a good time to buy it since people were already bought  it. Well, then I got it on

Second iPhone was iPhone 3GS（次はiPhone 3GSです。）

was contract wish iPhone 3G until September 19th, 2009. Both way, I needed to wait for few months 

(年間契約で更新日時まで時間があったことで、結局数ヶ月待つことになりました。そのおかげで)

Third iPhone was iPhone 4（3つ目はiPhone 4です）

(この機種は2010年6月24日に発売されました。そしてまた日本に帰ってました。それにちょっとだけ)

because it didn't come with white color same time with black one. So I waited for long time and I 

(欲しくありませんでした。それは白いカラーがなかったからです。なので白が出てくるまで待って)

decided to buy it on November 17th, 2010. Also, that time I waited but white won't come until 2011, so I 

(いましたが、結局黒色を11月17日に買う事にしました。それは2011年まで白い機種が出てこないと)

decided to buy iPhone 4. I knew in 2011, iPhone 4S should comes up anyway. This time, I still be able 

(わかって、iPhone 4Sがでて来るんだから早めに買おうと思い買ったんです。まだこの頃までは、)

(携帯の契約上、アップグレードを早くできました。なぜなら、月々70㌦近く払っていたという事で。)

AT&T had deal for upgrade who are paying more than $60/month will be able to upgrade once a year. 

(AT&Tは1年毎にアップグレード可能な対象を月々60㌦以上払っている方を対して実施していました。)

This time, model design was changed and had better cellphone signal receptor and better quality of

speed and cellphone connection was increased, and I could connected with my local place where I live. 

(様にだけはなり、自分が住んでいたところも入りにくかったんですが、この機種で電波が悪かった)

But this was first time I order online to get new phone too. Well, it was a good phone to use  until I

iPhone 5S this year (2013), but I got my friends gift card present for $50 for BestBuy, and BestBuy was 

(までは待とうかなと考えたんですが、折角BestBuyのギフトカード50㌦分とBestBuyがiPhone 5の機種)

discounting for iPhone 5 was $50 off. So I got it iPhone 5 that time. However, it had some kind of bug 

(を50㌦値下げして販売していたので、購入することにしました。しかしながら、買った新品に不具合)

on iPhone 5, so I went to back to the store and they had only open box one for one left. Then, I found 

(がでて、交換してもらおうとお店に行ったら売り切れ。そこにたまたま開封済みの物が一個あり)

that store people will discount around $100 off from the price with other discount and gift card. So I 

(それと交換してもらえることになりました。すでに開封済みだったのでさらに値引きをお店の方が)

paid $213.45 (￥15349 ) for iPhone 5 64GB one. I was so happy about it.
