In the past several years, much has been written about suicides and their connection to high unemployment rates in Japan. Dire statistics show that in the years since 1998, Japan's suicide numbers have topped the 30,000 mark annually. This has the general population, as well as health and social welfare critics around the world taking notice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Newsweek and Time magazines have both covered the phenomenon, and each time one of the regular Japanese language newspapers comes out with a higher unemployment figure, they tie them together with the growing suicide problem, and with a great deal of justification.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is an unhappy little spot near the base of Mount Fuji called the Aokigahara woods which happens to be one of the most infamous places in Japan for suicidal people to do themselves in. According to figures released by the Fuji-Yoshida police station in Yamanashi Prefecture this year, approximately 78 suspected suicide victims were found hanging from the trees, an increase from the former record of 73 found back in 1998.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Statistics from the World Health Organization show that the majority of suicide victims are males from age 40 to the mid-60s. Many of these men committed suicide &lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;becau&lt;/span&gt;se of a feeling of dishonouring the family name. Others simply watched their companies let them go after years of devoted work, and couldn't find gainful employment because of their age. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span

never try ufo catchers again..."&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that was last year when i tried my luck catching those gleaming toys inside the cage made of glass... you need to insert coins before you can position the ufo and grab those excited-to-be-adopted toys... at first, i just wanted to experience what it is like playing with it... gooshhh, it was difficult... ufo catchers usually have 2 claws attached to its head... these claws allows the ufo to grip on the toys... but, my gosh... the claws are designed to have low probability of successful grabs... amf... bad luck i had... i spent more than two-thousand yen without anything on hand... i told my self... "&lt;em&gt;this is not my forte... i will never try ufo catchers again..." &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this year...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it was last friday when i and john decided to stop over the telephone booths in front of sagami-ono station... we made a call to our families in the philippines... after around 10 minutes, i ended the call... while john was still holding the phone, i waited outside... it was cold... so i went inside a gaming building, where ufo catchers are found... i saw 3 guys crowding one of the ufo catcher machines... the two were holding plastic bags on both hands... watching their friend playing... i was there observing... goosh... it's like a simple 1+1 or ABC to the guy who caught big snoopy... one guy grabbed a plastic bag near the machine, and put big snoopy inside...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"will i try my luck again?"... &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i tapped my pocket with coins... hmmm... thinking... placed my hand inside the pocket and grabbed 500 yen... inserted the coin to the machine... (500yen for 3 plays)... i tried the technique of the guy... but i was too amateur that i failed... i was thinking... i need to stop... but... i grabbed a 1000-bill from my wallet and went to the coin-exchanger machine to exchange the bill into coins... went back to the ufo catcher and inserted five 100-coins... tried again... and at last... i got one big snoopy after the 2nd try... hurraayyy... excitedly grabbed one plastic and placed big snoopy inside...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the addiction... almost everyday, i drop by the building to play... too lucky, i always go home with at least a plastic on my hand...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;weeehhh....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2184/1055/1600/toys-012606.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2184/1055/320/toys-012606.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12442259-113818172695369165?l=simplyjesslee.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplyjesslee.blogspot.com/feeds/113818172695369165/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12442259&amp;postID=113818172695369165' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12442259/posts/default/113818172695369165'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12442259/posts/default/113818172695369165'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplyjesslee.blogspot.com/2006/01/ufo-catchers-are-fun.html' title='ufo catchers are fun...'/><author><name>jesslee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14066796839424995028</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://server3.uploadit.org/files/eelssej-untamed.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12442259.post-113765805748863626</id><published>2006-01-12T17:43:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-01-19T16:08:48.046+08:00</updated><title type='text'>first day of work at lenovo</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I look like a human today... with myyellow-colored longsleeves, almost-black brown pants, new pair of black shoes, and especially, with my new short (eewww...) haircut... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;my first day here is just setting up office pc (it's actually an ibm thinkpad t43... amazing)... and installing needed applications... thanks jessica for the help... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;tomorrow, i'll have my list of to do's... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12442259-113765805748863626?l=simplyjesslee.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplyjesslee.blogspot.com/feeds/113765805748863626/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12442259&amp;postID=113765805748863626' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12442259/posts/default/113765805748863626'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12442259/posts/default/113765805748863626'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplyjesslee.blogspot.com/2006/01/first-day-of-work-at-lenovo.html' title='first day of work at lenovo'/><author><name>jesslee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14066796839424995028</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://server3.uploadit.org/files/eelssej-untamed.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12442259.post-113765790446041219</id><published>2005-09-29T16:54:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2006-01-26T08:56:59.496+08:00</updated><title type='text'>goodbye ibm japanese translation... hello NHK...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;wohooo!!!

/&gt;i'm so dead tired today... i feel like i wanna sleep the whole day... i'm tired because of my past days' activities...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;@monday morning: i did workout at fitness first... well, it started my week right...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;@tuesday: eng happened to invite me for wall climbing... coz, it's one of the things i wanted to try [aside from bungee jumping, sky diving, scuba diving], i immediately accepted the invitation... i went home right after office for my getup... i met the group [eng, gio, rc, dave, &amp;amp; marlon] in metrosports... when i saw the walls, wow... i got excited that i wanted to climb without the harness yet... the "popeye guy" gave us instructions, the do's and don'ts before, during, and after climbing... he was strict... i started on the white wall [for beginners]... cool... that was easy... i wanted to climb on the yellow, but at that time, rc was climbing... the yellow is different from the white... it has around 10-20 degree-angle and has fewer stones... so i decided to climb for the red one... it has a 45 degree-slope and, oh my god, i thought it was really difficult... i started climbing on the red wall... excited to reach the slope part of the wall... i could hear people from below... &lt;em&gt;"...you're right hand to the yellow stone...", "...raise your left foot higher...", "...good... cool..." ... &lt;/em&gt;when i reached the angle, oh my god... it was difficult... both hands were already shaking... and thinking whether to let go... but i knew i'll make it... i was looking for the right stone where i can tightly hold once i jump and reach the end of the angle... i was losing energy... i could hear... &lt;em&gt;"...you can do it... you're almost there..."&lt;/em&gt;... so, i did extend my right arm and reach for the stone... and i got a tight hold on it... and quickly reached for the other stone with the left hand... huuuhhh... yesss!!!... i surpassed the very obstacle of that wall... that made me proud... :) as i went down... i was thinking of the green wall, the tougher wall... i rested for some time... my fingers were still shaking... i watched the other "popeye guy" climbing on the green wall... damn... he made it to the top... the green wall is more difficult than the red... it also has a 45-degree-angle, but longer than the red one... and maybe lesser stones... i got some time to look and think for a strategy... like twisting your body... .... .... the time came... i decided to try... i put some powder on both hands... hooked on the carabiner on the harness... and looked up the top of the wall.... &lt;em&gt;"will i reached the top?...", &lt;/em&gt;i asked myself... ... ... and, i told the belayer, &lt;em&gt;"i'm climbing..."&lt;/em&gt; .... &lt;em&gt;"climb on...",&lt;/em&gt; the belayer answered... i paused for seconds... and started climbing... it was easy up to the start of the angle... as i reached there, i started losing power... finding possible ways... attempts were made... whether to reach the stone or not... the longer you stay in one place, the more power you lose... i was losing power... oh my god, my arms were shaking... i was thinkng not to give up... but, im losing power... no more strength to reach higher... i'm losing power... until i yelled, "tension!!!"... hhuuhhh.... i was belayed down disappointed... but, i was thinking of another try... i rested for enough time... and again, tried for another climb... i reached again in the slope part... now, more confident to hold on the stones... i was able to reach the middle of the slope... almost there to reach the end of it... almost... i extended my right hand and attempted for the last stone to reach the end of the slope... but missed to hold on... i failed... i failed... and i failed... for the second time, i was belayed down disappointed... but, i'm not losing hope... maybe i just need more practice... still have to eat more... and exercise more...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;@wednesday: after office, i went to fitness first to workout... dess and irene invited me to join body jam... ryerod was also there... at first it was cool... i was able to follow the steps... but the moves became more difficult... damn, there was one step that until now, don't know how to execute... it took 1 hour... hhuuhh... it was tiring... after the all those body shakes, i decided not to join the body combat... but, damn... i was outside when i saw the people doing body combat... it seems cool... next time, i'll join the combat... i just spent another hour working out with all the technogym equipments there... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;@thursday: we went to metrosports again to climb... craving for the top of the green wall... green wall... green wall... yeah, green wall... my first attempt was a failure.... damn... the second was again.... shiieett.... a failure... i was thinking whether to take another try... to climb or not to climb... to climb or not to climb... i just took my time to rest... still undecided... to climb or not to climb... damn, the desire was still there... i wanted to reach the top of that damn green wall.... again, damn green wall... and i said to my self again, i need to eat more and exercise more... practice, practice, and practice... it may not be my time to reach the top... maybe it will take some time... i know i can make it... i know i will reach the top... i know i will... i will... i will...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br

need to rest... or maybe i'll have some body massage... oohhh... an hour of body massage... haaayyy....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;~end~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div

type='text'>ang aming munting paraiso...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;everybody in the family was excited... we planned to go out together with my tita's and cousins... it was last sunday... 11 am, we arrived in bajia beach resort... nakita ko ang excitement sa mga chikiting na mga pamangkin ko...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it was fun with the kids... i enjoyed swimming with them...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we had our lunch at 12:30 noon... and right after eating, diretso na ulit sa pool... umabot ng 1.5 hours... walang pagod ang mga bata... they enjoyed playing under the heat of the sun... ako naman, na-enjoy ko ang pool... i love water... beach... pool... haay.... ang sarap magbabad sa tubig...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;around 2:30 pm, my tita received a call from my tito... t'was an emergency call... may nasusunog daw na bahay sa loob ng compound... t'was just 5 houses away sa bahay...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;basa at di na nagbihis, lumabas ng resort ang lahat at diretso sa sasakyan...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ang brother-in-law ko ang nagdrive ng sasakayan... he was fast... habang nasa loob ng sasakyan, walang nagawa ang mga tita ko kundi magdasal... the chikitings also prayed... asking Him to stop the fire...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i was in the front seat with my sister... i was quiet... ano ang future ko at ang pamilya ko kung natupok ng apoy ang bahay?... eto ang nasa isip ko at that time... other thoughts came to my mind... paano ang laptop ko?... paano ang internal jlpt exam sa tuesday... paano na yan, start from scratch na naman, etc.....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rewind.... &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;14 years ago, i was still in grade 1... natupok ng apoy ang bahay... at wala kaming nakuha kahit tsenelas man lang... we started our life all over again... &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;haayy... salamat... our prayer was answered... my tito called again telling everyone to calm down... na-control na daw ang apoy... haaayy.... everyone was suddenly flooded with relief... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;nakauwi kami at nakita pa ring nakatayo ang aming munting paraiso... di na naisip ng lahat ang pagkaputol ng kasiyahan sa resort... masayang-masaya ang lahat dahil sinagot Niya ang aming panalangin...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;isa lang ang masasabi ko... He is really good... thanks to Him...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;[end]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12442259-111449916496670393?l=simplyjesslee.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplyjesslee.blogspot.com/feeds/111449916496670393/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12442259&amp;postID=111449916496670393' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12442259/posts/default/111449916496670393'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12442259/posts/default/111449916496670393'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplyjesslee.blogspot.com/2005/04/ang-aming-munting-paraiso.html' title='ang aming munting paraiso...'/><author><name>jesslee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14066796839424995028</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://server3.uploadit.org/files/eelssej-untamed.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12442259.post-111449655181378179</id><published>2005-04-26T13:10:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2005-04-26T14:22:31.813+08:00</updated><title type='text'>don't know what to say...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;haayy...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;this is my first blog... and i still don't know what to say...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;ok... i'm thinking what i'm thinking right now... hmmm... syyeet... i know what i'm thinking now... i'm thinking of what to say on this blog... =))&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;haayy...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;what topic is nice, ba...?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;hmmm...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/12442259-111449655181378179?l=simplyjesslee.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://simplyjesslee.blogspot.com/feeds/111449655181378179/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12442259&amp;postID=111449655181378179' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12442259/posts/default/111449655181378179'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/12442259/posts/default/111449655181378179'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://simplyjesslee.blogspot.com/2005/04/dont-know-what-to-say.html' title='don&apos;t know what to say...'/><author><name>jesslee</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14066796839424995028</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://server3.uploadit.org/files/eelssej-untamed.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
