ひどい事

2007-01-03T02:32:00.000+09:00

今回は、お正月早々、本当にひどい事があったので、
日本語で書きます。

Oｚｚが、追突事故に合いました。
そして、ひどい事に、相手は逃げたそうです。

初詣の帰り道、両親を車に乗せていて、
信号待ちをしていた時でした。
後方の車はブレーキが間に合わず、
Oｚｚの車に追突しました。

後方の車は、軽自動車で、4人乗っており、
運転手は南米系の外国人・外国人の女、
後部座席に日本人の女２人でした。

運転手は、一旦は外に出て、Oｚｚと話をしたものの、
Ozzが警察へ電話している一瞬の隙に、
車をバックして逃げ去って行きました。
Ozzは、逃げる車を押さえようと体をぶつけたけど、
それも振り切って、逃げ去って行きました。
警察が来た時には、
もう既に、追突した車は現場から逃げた状態だったので、
当て逃げとなりました。

Ozzの車のバンパーは穴が空き、リアドアは潰されました。
幸いなことに、Ozz達３人とも大きな怪我は無かったようですが、
翌日になって、背中が少し痛くなってきたとの事です。

逃げた車のナンバーは控えてありますが、
車両が軽自動車であること、運転手が外国人であることから考えると、
犯人を特定し、（あえて犯人とします。当て逃げは犯罪です。）
正規の手順にて進める事は、難しいと思われます。

本当に、理不尽な話です。
相手の車に乗っていた人は、逃げた方が勝ちとでも思ったのでしょうか？
警察に届けると言ったので、ビザ無し不法滞在や飲酒運転や無免許運転等、
何か不利な状況を避けるべくして、逃げていったのでしょうか？
相手がどんな状況かは存じ上げませんが、存じ上げる術も難しい状況ですが、
全く持って、理不尽で、自分勝手で、何とも腹が立って仕方ありません。

ただ、家族で初詣をして、一年の祈願をして、
その帰りに信号待ちで止まっていただけなのに、
心の真っ黒な運転手らに当て逃げされ、
（この場合、同乗者も悪意があると思います。）
体も心も車も、痛いくて痛くて、泣いています。

ただ、世の中、プラス+とマイナス-の世界。
1/1にこんなにマイナスな事に出合ってしまったので、
1/2-12/31までは、プラスな状態だと思って、頑張って行きます。

逆もしかりでしょう、きっと。
（→今は、こう思ってないと、やり切れません。
　　マイナスパワーは恐ろしいですからね。。。）

負けないわ！　Happy Year 2007 は、始まったばかり！
負けないわ！　

何か、Ozzが元気になるような
アドバイスやコメント頂けたら、
幸いです。

Happy Year 2007

A guard carries a gun, and there is some army
with a machine gun
As a securty check, we have to open our surtcase,
and they check wherever there are something to a dangerous object
in our suitcase.
Of course, we have nothing to those, we go through the securty gate.

Hello, guys !!
I'm finaly coming back here. (^O^)v
And I reporterd there about my trip in Philippine.

At Narita airport...
This is our plane going to Philippine.
Bye-bye Japan and welcome to Cebu.

At Cebu city, we stayed Cebu Midtown Hotel.
This hotel is located on the middle of Cebu city as that name.
Close to Osmena cercle, and there are many restaurants.
We were going to eat dinner at one of those restaurants.
Not so much hungry, we chose fast food restaurant.

Ozz at the Chowking 超群

If you visit there, we recommend this chiken below!
Outside of chiken (skin) is baked much,
inside is very soft like a turkey, and source is much to chiken!
This size is half size, 160peso, about 400yen.
Very cheep....

As the philippine fast food, Jollibee is famous.
But we can't go Jollibee.
That's is why this chiken is very delicious,
so we went to Chowking again.
We become a fun of Chowking.
Ozz said that,
"I wish Chowking make inroads into Japanese markets"

A sense of security; medicine

2006-11-18T23:36:00.000+09:00

Tomorrow is my expecting departure day !!
So, I packed this in my suitcase
for my a sense of security.
If I or Ozz feel like sick, this makes us better.
Encouraging partners !

So, I'll go to travel for days.
When I come back, I write about this trip
and post the photos.
See you guys !

Great thanks for her.

2006-11-17T00:19:00.000+09:00

Every Wednesday 11:10 - 11:30, we have a time to study English on TV.
This TV program is very interesting,
the title is "English conversation that enjoyed on drama"

(The photo made it quote from this page.)

We saw the textbook before the time, and watched on TV with it,
and then, read it.
It's defficult for me without testbook to understand English that those actors
speak in the drama.
But I'll do my best.
Rome was not built in a day.

And contribute to our company. "
He is one of directors in my company, and very kind to us, and he had interesting career.
A few years ago, he went to even Alaska to try to take C.P.A.
Unfortunitly, he failed the exam, but he could gain the license of tax accountant.

Today was just great !
