a personal computer
My father had lived alone for about a year because of his work but he returned home last month. While he was there he bought a personal computer and now it has become mine because he didn’t need it any more. I think he merely wanted to buy it and actually didn’t use it so much.
It is the latest model. I can watch TV on it. It is easy to record, watch, search and delete TV programs on the computer. When I recorded with VCR, I often deleted what I didn’t want to. It was troublesome to look for what I wanted to watch. Now I can handle recorded programs like other files on the computer. If I want to watch a certain program, I just double-click it.
There’s an inconvenience, though. While recording one program, I can’t watch another one but the convenience surpasses the inconvenience.
What I do with my computer other than watching TV is to input English words and idioms I learn. I have written them down on my notebooks so far. Words and their meanings on left pages and examples on right pages. The number of words and idioms in my pc file is much less than that of on my notebooks now but keep studying will make them reverse.
I hope I can understand all of the English words without a dictionary!

Tokyo
I went to Tokyo last week. It was the first time since last August. My boss and I visited the Tokyo branch of our company and we demonstrated how to use the new software with which we could download data from our host computer. The instruction manuals got short because many people gathered than we thought.
I could finally meet a guy whom I have emailed many times but never met before. It was fun to meet people who were in other offices.
I met a friend of my schooldays the next day and had lunch at a Vietnamese French restaurant. The interior decor was fabulous! They had dark brown wooden floor and white painted walls and silver-framed mirrors on them. And white flowers in big glass vases on dark brown shelves. They were decorated delicately. I wish I could live in a house like that! The ambience was great but I could not enjoy the dishes because they contained many fresh corianders. I don't think I like them because they taste weird. It took me a long time to finish as I was trying to get rid of them.
After lunch, we went shopping. They held a bargain sale at most of the stores. I looked for skirts but I could not find nice one. I bought two frilly tops.
I enjoyed three-day stay in Tokyo very much.
