Keiichi Yabu Part 4

Finally it's the weekend. I was working until almost 11:00pm last nite because I had 3 things due yesterday. Unfortunately 2nd assignment had a problem. So unexpectedly I finished that work around 8:00pm.. So I started to do 3rd one after that. 3rd one was tough.. usually time budget for this work is 1 full day. How can I finish?? the day was almost over... I knew it's hard to finish until yesterday. So I started working for 3rd one at home little by little. So this is everyday's homework. After I finished working at office, I went home...Then after eating dinner, start working until 12:00am.. Geee... Last 3 days, I was working almost 17 hours per day.. So tiring.. Anyway I worked until 11:00pm. I still couldn't finish..!!! I finished 90% of it. However the amount didn't match at all. I don't know what our A/R person did ??? So I will review my work after I write this entry. I still need to go to the office either today or tomorrow. You know.. that sucks.. I am sooo crazy busy.. But one of my big boss is panicy.. then told my other boss to finish this work immediately.. She was already holding so much work. Me too. But due to big boss's request, she will have to finish this work and she will be forced to dump on me her other big work. geee... We are all waiting when our big boss will transfer back to our parent company. If he will stay forever, I will have to find another job before I prematurely die. I(We) totally can't stand this big boss at all.

Anyway.. So until last nite, I was under that situation. I finally slept for 8 hours last nite. and can watch MY TV SHOW this morning. As I mentioned in my prior entry "wakaba",I am watching NHK Morning drama, Wakaba, on time. This drama will be shown in SF from 01/22/05. If I had time, I'll watch it everyday. But I usually recorded this drama in DVD Recorder's HDD(Hard Disk Drive). So I watched this week's just this morning. Just in case, I didn't record exactly 15 min. because if big news came up, the drama is usually delayed. So I usually add extra 10 min. before and after. After I watched Thursday's(01/13/05), I tried to edit extra portion. Oh I usually recorded this drama in DVD, too. So I had to do that.. hahaha... Then I saw Yabu in NHK news... So I took photos for this news. Sorry but today, it is bright outside, I couldn't cover the light with the blinds. So the next pictures.. You will see some white line. That's the light peaking from the blinds.

I didn't add all pictures in this blog. If you want to see completed pictures, please check my Japanese blog .

He said he is so excited to play in the Major League. He thinks he can play both starter and relief. He will talk w/ the managers and will choose best way.

He is a very aggressive pitcher. He likes to pitch a ball inside and don't care if it became deadball or not. So that's why Billy Beane wanted to get him because his aggressive pitch is a good model for A's younger pitchers. So now I understood why Beane took him. In other word, Beane will use " Yabu " for younger pitcher's training. For that purpose, that's good investment. If they will see live model in front in order to become good pitchers, $1 million is not expensive at all for this purpose. This is everything for A's future.
