It's a New Year, And About 2014

DIALY

While I didn't write out over 2014 yet, the year has changed to 2015.
I don't care. Here is the things about my 2014.

Stocks:
Good. As expected, it wasn't as good as 2013, but I earned more than enough this year, too. As according to nomura's account report, the annual gain this year was 1,772,005 yen(pretax). So I almost already can play in stock market with only on a risk by my earned gain. That was a dream condition for me two years ago.
Besides, I keenly felt tax raise on stocks beggining this year. I earned half to compare to last year's gain, but I have to pay almost same amount of money for the tax this year (it's 359,963 yen, and last year's tax was 375,968 to 3,705,927 gain).

English Learning:
It wasn't perfectly good, but modelate, I should say. Two years ago, I estimated I would pass Eiken 1st grade exam within 2014, but it was too optimistic. However, there is a progress in this year. I continued to read English news paper (Japan News) every day for more than a year, thanks for that, I can feel the terms those in study guide or past exam weren't that alien now. It's improving. That is most important to me.

IT Learning:
I'm aiming some MCSE on Windows Server 2012 track. To become MCSE on Server Infrastructure, remaining exam is only 70-414 alone, thus I bought Microsoft Press' Exam Ref 70-414, but I don't think I'll take the exam until next Eiken exam finished.

Others:
I was happy that I met those great novels, mangas, animes, movies, games in 2014 too.

And Echo on nico nico douga.
Except for PMMM: Revellion, aboves are all English tlansrated or English dubbed (or, of course, English original) version.

Compare to the last year, the portion of mangas were shortened while hours for watching animes were broadened. I prefer to widen portion for reading novels, and watching movies. Neverthless, especially movies, they are consuming time too much so it's difficult to take into my daily hours. I don't like stop a movie in the middle of the story for the other time, but those contrivances may be necessary to watch movies regularly. umm...
