I have enjoyed aquarium for six years.
Now I have some tropical fish and shrimps.
They heal me and cheer me up a lot, despite I'm too busy to take good care of them sometimes.

When keeping tropical fish, we should know that they need less hot water than we imagine.
They can't live in hot water around 30°C in summer in Japan, comparing that goldfish can survive in 30°C water.
So tropical fish keepers have to cool their fish tanks with fans or set their tanks in air-conditioned rooms.

I also have some digital pets for fun, which I enjoy on my blogs.
Some of my online friends have the same kinds of pets as mine, it's fun to find that my friends resister the same digital pet providers as me.

My two daughters have their digiral pets too, but I doubt that my elder daughter's enthusiasm for digital pets is acceptable.
She logs onto her digital pet providers' web pages every day, this is not that peculiar a thing itself.
What vexes me is her attitude toward her digital pets; she never forgets logging onto her digital creatures EVEN when she is absent from school!!!
Now she is out for school trip to Hokkaido, but she was so worried if her pets might have been dead while she was in Hokkaido.
She even resisted joining school trip maybe just for taking care of her pets every day.

I had to promise that I would take care of her pets during her absence.
That feels a kind of peculiar!!!
It's harder than I expected logging onto digital pets' web sites every day, for every one of us has such hectic days that we don't have time to boost our PCs.
Still she asked me to do that.
It seems to me that digital pets and real pets are the same living creatues for her.

The day before yesterday, I logged onto only "Livly Island".
Yesterday I didn't use a PC. I updated some of my blogs with my cell phone though.
So.........

I broke my promise to logged onto "Meromero Park" every day!!!!!!!

Even though it's not a kind of promise I have to keep, I'm so scared.......
I have broken her dream.......

I'm sooooooooooooooo sorry, if you never forgive me, I'll say it many times.
But.....remember:

Live your life in the real world!!!

Digital pets like livlies and meromeros live in a parallel world, your "happy times" with games, mangas, digital pets etc. are going by in a parallel world where only a few people believe in.
In a parallel world on the net, you are mere a piece of data.
In the real world, you are the one full of possibility.

Are you still satisfied with ending up your life just as a piece of data?

You are not data.
You are man!!!!
