Getting up super early was fine, but it's bloody freezing. Honestly, I can't get out from under the duvet. And today I'm not wearing my warm inner layer. How am I supposed to survive this? Winter's far too cold. Thank goodness club activities were just voluntary practice today. Cookery class was actually quite fun too. But then I ate a huge amount of school lunch on top of that and felt like I was going to be sick. I really want to avoid throwing up from overeating – the emptiness afterwards ...

I'm super tired. I've felt a bit worn out since waking up this morning. There are all sorts of things I want—recovery gear, a good pillow, and stuff like that. Plus, I want Amino Vital. Man, that stuff is way too expensive for a consumable. What's up with that? My friend's mechanical pencil tip arrived. I'll return it tomorrow. No club activities today, so it was way too easy. Tomorrow's voluntary club practice, so I'm happy. The day after tomorrow is the company visit. Gotta prepare. And the...

I overslept a little today, but it didn't affect me. I'm happy to be able to wear my new shoes and hat. My shoes are a little too big. Well, I knew that was obvious, but I figured they'd grow out of them quickly, so they'd be 1cm bigger. I installed Vivaldi on my phone. I can't decide on a browser. I don't use Brave or Opera because their security is a bit questionable, but then there aren't many options. Firefox is a little slow, and Chrome and Bing are the best. 今日は地味に寝坊した まあ支障はなかったけど 新...

Woke up early again today for my brother's test. Pointless. But at least it's not as cold as before, so that's good. I feel like I can't study history at all, so maybe I should just get it over with. But the cat crawled under the blanket, so no way. Let's just stay warm together. I bought new shoes. My old ones were getting too small and I think there was a hole in the toe area, so I'm happy. Plus they were pretty dirty, so this time I got black ones. I also bought a swimming cap. Seriously h...

Week 2 (January 11, 2026 - January 17, 2026) Day 8 Today I installed a new app to combat smartphone dependency. Its name is Blockit. I installed it because I like the design. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow setting a whitelist, so I'll have to put up with that. Day 9 Today I didn't have time to use my phone. Days like this are easy. I found one issue with blockit: I can't use my old study time tracking app anymore. It's not a huge problem since I can record things later, but... Using block...

Today I woke up early because my brother had his national college entrance exam.(To be precise, the test used for all university entrance exams. Translation issues made it difficult to convey this accurately.) I don't know if he'll actually get into college, but all I can say is "Good luck." Today just needs to get through club activities. Nothing else is too tough. The practice itself wasn't that hard. The guy in the next lane was doing 50×40 hard sets and it was seriously scary. What was th...

Woke up normally today, along with the rice cooker's sound. Didn't feel like running. Looks pretty cold again today. Just checked, apparently it's warmer than yesterday, but mornings are still cold. My running speed has gotten a lot faster. 5km in 24:43. Well, that's decent, I guess. I never thought I'd forget my swimsuit. Managed to grab one from storage and use it, but seriously, I was shocked the one I used today was an actual proper swimsuit. It looked super old though. Also, I serious...

The mornings are way too cold. Even though I'm wearing socks and all sorts of cold-weather gear, I'm still freezing. Feels like cold air is seeping in through the window. It took forever to crawl out from under the covers. How do they get so warm? Today was the toughest day of the year so far. 200×5, 100×5, 50×5, 25×10. All out. I'm literally dying. And I have a run tomorrow. I don't really have the energy to write much today. Tomorrow is a run. I hope I can go faster than last time. Let's...

I managed to wake up early today. Having that morning time really makes a difference in how satisfying the day feels. Getting up is tough though. Maybe I'll study for finals. I want some new earbuds too. I broke my friend's mechanical pencil. Looks like I can just buy the refill, so I'll pay them back ASAP. Wrote an essay in class about my goals for this year. Said I'd break 32 seconds in the 50m freestyle and 1 minute 10 seconds in the 100m freestyle. If I'm gonna say it, I better actually d...

Today I have a math test and dance rehearsal. I'm pretty tired and it's a pretty heavy day. I totally nailed the math test. Everyone else couldn't finish everything, but I did. So happy. Dance rehearsal got canceled for some reason. Happy about that, but now I'm scared about tomorrow's performance. Club practice was seriously brutal. Doing 50 reps x 8 sets x 4 rounds while still sore from yesterday, then 100 reps x 6 sets and 100 reps x 4 sets all-out? Not good. So glad there's no club tom...

I have club activities today, even though it's a holiday. We're going out to hang out this afternoon, but we haven't decided where to meet up at all. What are we gonna do? I only swam 4000m, but it was seriously tough. I don't think 100m x 6 all-out is a good idea. I was hanging out with friends, thought we needed more people, so I called a senior and they came. Seriously hilarious. Since it was just one guy, it was a pretty big relief. It cost quite a bit, but it was fun. Tomorrow's school. ...

結構早起きした 二度寝したけど 今日は兄の合格祈願で湯島天神に行った ベビーカステラ食べたから満足 先週もらったイヤホン、左耳に合わなすぎる 次の定期テストで3位以内取って買ってもらおう 3位なら取れるはず 明日遊びに行くけどなんも決めてない 流石に決めんとまずいか スマホ依存対策しないとヤバい気がしてきた 勉強する時にスマホいじっちゃうのがちやめたい blockit使ってやろうかなと思ってる デザインがめっちゃ好み でもほかのアプリ使えなくなるからちょっと困る deeplとかも使えなくなんのがきつい どうしたものか デザインが好きすぎるからこういう系のアプリもっと作って欲しい 明日は祝日 部活行って遊びに行く 頑張ろう また一週間が始まる ...

My legs are killing me from yesterday's run. So grateful club activities are canceled today. The name I wrote for my New Year's calligraphy is ridiculously tiny—I'm dead. Went to get a haircut, bought some stuff, and got hit by a bike on the way home. It was partly my fault, but I said "Sorry!" and they just ignored me and rode off. It stings a bit and is super stressful. Bikes really are a pain, especially the ones riding on sidewalks. That's just plain illegal. Anyway, break is coming. What ...

Week 1 (January 4-10, 2026) Day 1 (Start Day) Just having YouTube disappear from my home screen feels incredibly weird. Today I did my assignments, studied English, and worked out. My muscles are screaming because club activities stopped during winter break. But the time I can kill doing these things is way too short. Not being able to use YouTube is a huge blow. I guess I should think about how to use this free time meaningfully, rather than just killing it. Day 2 I'm just bored. There's ...

Today we ran from the very first class. In this cold? This morning's temperature was a whopping 3°C!!!!! Are you trying to kill me? At least club practice is shorter today, so I guess that makes it okay. It was seriously tough. Running 5km is just plain insane. I felt like I ran a lot faster than last time, but it was only 8 seconds quicker. Sad. I made plans thinking there was no club activity on the 12th. Well, my afternoon is free, so I'll just have to squeeze it in then. No club activity ...

Getting these earbuds was huge. My brother said they didn't fit his ears. I'm reminded again how amazing noise cancellation is. I set up the equalizer, but I have a feeling once I start tweaking it, there'll be no end. School finally starts again. Times like this make me scared I'll forget something important. It was my first club activity of the year. Having to swim 5200m on the first day is insane. Well, I endured it, so it's okay. Anyway, I'll just try to make sure I can function properly t...

Mornings have been way too cold lately, it's a pain When mornings are cold, just getting up is a struggle, and that eats into my time Not that I'm really making good use of my morning hours anyway Since starting my challenge to quit social media, I seriously feel like I have more time The goal was to stop wasting time watching YouTube or X, so I think I'm pretty much achieving that But if you look at it from the perspective of wasted time, I still have some now. There's just too little to do St...

There are so many things I want to do, but they all vanish like dust. So I'll leave them here as notes. I wonder what I'll think when I look back later. Skydiving I want to try it at least once. Especially since I've never (luckily) experienced freefall. Sleep on an insanely expensive bed, pillow, and futon Seriously, this has been a dream of mine for years now. I want to buy it once I can afford it. Get a cat I have one now, but it doesn't really bond with me. Probably because my dad gets all...

Let me tell you about some recent app recommendations. I've spent the last week hunting for smartphone apps, so take my word for it—these are pretty solid picks. Why am I spending New Year's on my phone? Didn't have anyone to spend Christmas with? Who cares about that. Let's get started. Ecosia - Search Engine, Browser This one was pretty great. Just searching plants trees? Perfect for someone like me who wants to donate and feel good, even if I'm broke. Concern: It relies on ad revenue, so yo...

AIと英語で会話するの、思ったよりいいかも 自分の持ってる知識を総動員して戦う感じ でもそこで書いたことが現実で会話するときに出る自信はない 英会話教室とかいっときゃあよかったかも 今から行くのは変なプライドが邪魔をする Talking to AI in English might be better than I thought. It feels like I'm fighting by mobilizing all my knowledge. But I'm not confident that what I wrote there will come out in real conversations. Maybe I should have just gone to an English conversation school. My weird pride is getting in the way of going now. ...

A 30-day challenge to live without using social media This time, I'll avoid using: YouTube X reddit I'm not including Instagram or similar platforms (maybe I'm falling behind the times?) It'll probably be tough, but I'm going to give it a shot anyway Besides the 100-day challenge, I might also write weekly logs and post them on listed Well, I'll do my best. #30dayschallenge ...

I'm already running out of things to write at this point. Come to think of it, I haven't even introduced myself yet. Not that I feel I need to, though Today I'll bestow upon you some recommended games. Since I only have a PS5, Steam's out of the question. xcom2 I guess you could call it a strategy game. It's turn-based combat between aliens and humans, but if you mess up, your human side dies instantly. It really makes you think, but it's genuinely fun. Warframe The ultimate time sink. Probabl...

For people bored out of their minds, here are some ways to kill time Though calling it "introducing" is a stretch—I'm just sharing what I want to know Watch YouTube Sadly, this is still the ultimate solution YouTube only shows you stuff you're interested in, so it's fun Downside: Your life time vanishes, leaving you feeling empty Browse smartphone apps Lately, I've been spending my entire life on this Security apps and such—even the ones that are mostly pointless (you probably wouldn't get att...
