Welcome to my boring website!

- How to lose Japanese Accent

I recently completed the course for reducing accent.  It was actually an eye opening (or more like an ear opening) experience for me.  After speaking English for so many years, I thought the accent would stay with you for the rest of your life, but I was pleasantly surprised that there are other training methods to reduce your accent, which typical ESL schools don't teach you. So if you are interested, there are many materials available online, and if you are willing to pay, find good instructor-led classes near you. 

- Waking Up Disorder

I've got issues waking up in the morning ever since I can remember as a child.  This got me in trouble many time as you can imagine.  Even if I have a fully good intention being good, the reality is, it is not easily to control myself.  It is like if you are an over-eater, your will power is not good enough to change your eating habits. Luckily there are many resources available online nowadays, so you can search for things you can do to make it better.  The key is to find what works for you and not give up.

Cactus at my work
I have no idea why this gigantic cactus is at my work place, but it is in my cubicle area so I spend time with it everyday when I am at work. Good thing we don't get earthquakes around here.

About Me
I work for a software company and have been developing software for living. I moved to the United States after I graduated from a high school in Japan. Even though I've lived in the United States for many years, I am still a Japanese, and I enjoy Japanese anime and games in my free time.
