Do strangers ever make you feel paranoid?
Two years ago, my boyfriend and I moved in together. It was a completely new city for me, and I didn’t know anyone there. Honestly, I’m introverted by nature, which is why I don’t have many friends, and I’m also pretty bad at reading people.
There’s a supermarket near our apartment, and there’s a girl who works at the checkout counter who seems really suspicious to me. Every time I go there, I feel her unfriendly gaze, and something odd always happens when she’s serving me. For example, she ignored me when I asked for a bag three times in a row. Another time, she gave me a torn bill as change. And once, she took a break right after I walked up to her counter. I had never experienced anything like that in my hometown.
Is it all just a coincidence, or is she doing it on purpose? Who knows…

Если бы ты мог вернуться...
Сегодня я отвечаю на следующий вопрос: «если бы ты мог вернуться в прошлое, в какое-либо время и быть другим человеком, то какой век ты выбрал, и какой статус бы имел? Король, рыцарь, дворянин..?»
Я очень интересуюсь истории, поэтому есть многие прошлые страны и периоды, которые мне бы нравились видеть. Я также знаю, что они были в общем более жестокими и трудными, чем наше время. Я не хотел бы пережить черную смерть или мировые войны... Даже без этих событий, условия жизни людей в общем были хуже. Это не значит, что они были несчастливыми. Это просто значит, что не существовало комфорта двадцать первого века, к которому я привык! Конечно короля и дворяне ни в ничего не нуждались, но даже они страдали от многих эпидемий и войн. Поэтому, я хотел бы только короткое пребывание в прошлом!
Я хотел бы посетить Бургундию (свой регион) в пятнадцатом веке, быть рыцарем на службе герцога Бургундии. В то время бургундское государство был богатым могущественным. Оно простиралось от Нидерланд до южной Бургундии и хотел бы стать независимым от Франции по политическим причинам.
Мне бы понравилось вернуться в золотую эру древней египетской цивилизации, например во время Хатшепсута или Рамсеса II. Тогда даже крестьяне жили неплохо. Мне нравится эта изысканная культура: искусство, мифология, стиль жизни... Я также мог бы вернуться в Римскую Империю во время Августа, и путешествовать, чтобы видеть Колизей, статую Зевса в Олимпии, Александрийский маяк и другие древние чудеса, которые сегодня более не существуют.
А почему бы и нет персидский император? Во своем огромном дворце с прекрасными садами я наслаждался всеми видами чувственных удовольствий. Наверно я немного сошёл бы с ума. Власть развращает...

D'être une serviteuse au paradis
Frânchement, je trouve cette question un peu poétique. Pourquoi ? Parce qu'il ne fera pas dans la vie réel. Mais, si je dois choisir entre d'être une reine ou une serviteuse, je préférée d'être un serviteuse au paradis plutôt d'une reine en enfer. Chaque fois je pense à l'enfer, j'imagine des souffrance, des cris, des feus, et toutes choses négatifs et, j'en envie pas. La vie sur la terre est déjà difficile pour vivre à cause de les problèmes quotidien dont je peux pas trouver une solution. Parfois, il me semble que, cette vie que j'en ai est en enfer. Donc, cette fois, je voulais m'engager à la vie avec abundance au paradis meme si je dois d'être une serviteuse. Peut-être au paradis, il ne faut pas travailler plus 12 heures chaque jour. Les tâches travail sont faciles, aucune pauverté, aucun faim. Tout est bien et beaux.

Entre écrans et réalité : la voix des parents
Aujourd’hui, la technologie et le média deviennent vraiment populaires autour du monde, particulièrement entre les jeunes. Beaucoup d’articles discutent les avantages et les inconvénients de ces réseaux et reconnaissent les opinions de jeunes utilisateurs.
Pourtant, la plupart ne considèrent pas les avis de parents et les gens plus âgés. À cause de cet engouement, plusieurs parents sont inquiets pour leurs enfants, mais ils pensent que les conseils de leurs parents sont une punition ou une leçon.
Alors, j’ai pris un entretien avec des parents pour comprendre leur vue.
Que pensez-vous aujourd’hui des réseaux sociaux et comment votre opinion a-t-elle changé avec le temps depuis votre jeunesse ?
Aujourd’hui, je pense que les réseaux sociaux sont devenus presque indispensables dans la vie quotidienne, surtout avec des applications comme WhatsApp qui sont utilisées non seulement pour parler avec des amis mais aussi pour le travail officiel. Cependant, mon opinion a beaucoup changé avec le temps. Pendant mon enfance, il n’y avait pas de téléphones portables et plus tard, dans ma vingtaine, Facebook et les e-mails sont apparus. Beaucoup de personnes autour de moi étaient fascinées, mais j’étais hésitant à partager mes informations personnelles, donc je ne me suis jamais inscrit. Avant, les réseaux sociaux servaient surtout à se faire des amis et à partager des moments. Maintenant, ils sont souvent une plateforme pour se montrer ou créer de la haine entre communautés et nations. Par exemple, pendant la guerre à Gaza, beaucoup de gens ont seulement aimé des publications sans agir réellement. On voit aussi des situations où quelqu’un filme une personne en danger au lieu de l’aider. Même si Instagram peut être positif, sans actions concrètes ni équilibre, l’impact peut devenir négatif.
Selon vous, quels sont les avantages et les inconvénients de la technologie et des médias sociaux ? Avez-vous des inquiétudes sur l’utilisation excessive des écrans par les jeunes et quels appareils ou applications trouvez-vous les plus frustrants ?
Selon moi, la technologie et les médias sociaux ont des avantages mais aussi plusieurs inconvénients. D’un côté, ils facilitent la vie : on peut commander des courses depuis la maison, lire des articles, apprendre l’actualité et regarder des films sur Netflix ou des vidéos sur YouTube. Pendant la période de la COVID, ces outils ont aidé beaucoup de personnes à rester en contact et à garder un bon état mental. Cependant, l’utilisation excessive des écrans inquiète, surtout pour les jeunes, car elle peut abîmer les yeux, réduire les interactions physiques et n'importe qui peut utiliser nos informations privées avec ses doigts dans le nez. Les algorithmes décident souvent ce que nous voyons, ce qui limite notre liberté. Pour répondre à ta deuxième question, personnellement, je trouve que les connexions Bluetooth et certains écouteurs sont très frustrants, car ils ne fonctionnent pas toujours correctement!
Pensez-vous que la technologie sera plus importante dans le futur, est-ce que cela vous inquiète ou vous rassure, et quels conseils donneriez-vous pour utiliser les réseaux sociaux de manière responsable ?
Je pense que la technologie sera encore plus importante dans le futur, ce qui est à la fois rassurant et inquiétant. Elle peut améliorer la sécurité et la communication, mais elle peut aussi créer un compte sur la tech si les gens ne font pas attention. Par exemple, le film WALL‑E montre un futur où les humains deviennent trop paraseseux à cause de cela! Pour utiliser les réseaux sociaux de manière responsable, je conseillerais de mettre des limites de temps sur les applications et de demander de l’aide quand quelque chose semble dangereux en ligne. Ce serait aussi utile d’avoir un bouton de cybersécurité sur chaque application. L’essentiel est de rester équilibré, conscient et de ne pas perdre son identité réelle.
Finalement, nous comprenons que la technologie et les réseaux sociaux ont des aspects positifs mais aussi des risques importants selon nos aînés. Les parents reconnaissent leur utilité pour communiquer, apprendre et se divertir, mais ils s’inquiètent pour la santé, la vie privée et la dépendance des jeunes. Finalement, l’idée principale est d’utiliser la technologie avec modération, responsabilité et esprit critique afin de profiter de ses avantages sans perdre l’équilibre dans la vie réelle.

L’intelligence des oiseaux
Le concept d’intelligence chez les animaux m’a toujours fasciné. Il y a beaucoup d’animaux qui ont été découverts avoir un niveau d’intelligence élevé. Les exemples les plus célèbres incluent les singes, les dauphins, les baleines, les éléphants et les pieuvres. Mais aujourd’hui j’aimerais parler des oiseaux. Plus spécifiquement, je présenterai trois types d’oiseaux et leurs compétences particulières. Premièrement, je voudrais parler des Corbeaux calédoniens. C’est un espèce de corbeau trouvé seulement aux îles de Nouvelle Calédonie. Ils ont une apparence modeste et ressemblent à n'importe quelle autre espèce de corbeau. Mais ils sont doués avec un talent surprenant : ils fabriquent des outils compliqués, et ils enseignent leur technique à leurs enfants. Ils sont la seule espèce non primate qui peuvent faire ça. Ils fabriquent des hameçons pour obtenir de la nourriture, et ils utilisent une méthode en trois étapes pour les créer. Ces compétences démontrent un niveau avancé de fonction cognitive. Deuxièmement, je voudrais parler des perroquets qui comprennent la parole d'humains. Les plus célèbres exemples sont les gris de Gabon, particulièrement le perroquet Alex. Il pouvait identifier un grande nombre des objets par leur noms, comprendre les concepts comme « plus grande/petit » ou « la même/différent », reconnaître les couleurs, et compter. Il avait un vocabulaire de 100 mots, et il semblait comprendre toutes leurs significations. Mais sa capacité la plus choquante était qu’il peut poser des questions. Finalement, je voudrais vous présenter les oiseaux jardiniers. Ces oiseaux australiens ont la capacité pour créer les illusions d’optique. Chaque année les mâles créent des nids extrêmement compliqués, et les décorent avec des objets d’une seule couleur, qui dépend de l'espèce (par exemple les jardiniers satinés utilisant seulement les objets bleus). Mais les brindilles de ces nids sont organisées pour faire paraître les mâles plus grands, et les objets colorés font paraître les mâles plus éclatants. Quel malin !

Emotional Olympic Moment
The huge favorite and US shooting star Ilia Malinin can't handle the pressure and slips up in his freestyle a couple of times. Surprise winner in figure skating becomes his good friend Mikhail Schaidorov from Kazakhstan instead, completely bewildered and obviously overwhelmed. The German television commentator's voice breaks last night when he remembers former Kazakh figure skater Denis Ten, who won the bronze medal at the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi but lost his life at the age of 25 due to a robbery in 2018. "I hope he's looking down from heaven... (pauses) ... and is happy."

Today is Valentine's Day.
I'd heard it was from Europe, but I didn't know the details, so I looked it up this time.
Then I found that it was the religious story about St. Valentine in the 3rd century AD.
It means that Valentine's Day is actually related to Christianity.
However, now it is the day for couples, especially in Japan.
It is quite common in Japan that a woman gives chocolate to her boyfriend on this day.
It seems that one Japanese food company tried to hold an event that contributed to its profit in February.
So, it's a very commercial event nowadays in Japan, but it might be good that females have the day to tell their love to their partner.
( Thank you for reading. If you have time, it's so useful for me that you teach me the difference between "woman" and " female".)

David Fincher is my favorite director
It's incredible how David Fincher always finds the way to make interesting a film from the script. I think he mastered his writing/directing avoiding being repetitive on its sequences, in contrast to other directors that mark their personality over the scenes and you can guess who is the director. David makes you enjoy the moment, dialogues, interactions, etcetera. Se7en, Gone girl, Fighting Club, Mindhunter, are really well made and engaging from the beginning.
I wish I could make a film like his.

From Prophet to Profane in Pursuit of Profit.
When you stare at a stock chart, it’s a beautiful landscape of pure, logical opportunity. You see the valleys and the peaks with the clarity of a prophet. The mantra is simple: buy low, sell high. It seems so obvious …
So, you take the plunge. You buy the dip. You acquire shares at what the chart clearly indicates is a bargain-bin price. And in that moment, you are not just a person; you are a prodigy, a financial oracle, a master of the universe. You genuinely believe you’ve just bought a first-class ticket to the Kingdom of Easy Gold. You lean back, titing for the start, convinced the market has just been waiting for your royal entry to begin its moonward ascent.
If you’re lucky, the stock might blip up half a percent. This tiny flicker is all the validation your ego needs. It confirms your genius, your meticulous foresight, your almost supernatural shrewdness.
But then, reality hits. It always does. Immediately after your purchase, the stock will fall. It doesn't matter if it’s a minor dip of half a percent or a full-blown correction of 20 or 30 percent. In that instant, your self-image shatters. You go from being a virtuoso to a village idiot.
You begin to check the ticker every day, no, every hour, no, every five minutes. You refresh your screen obsessively, praying for the price to just crawl back to what you paid for it. You feel like a buffoon, a chump who fell for the oldest trick in the book.
Eventually, you forget about it. You accept your fate as a bag holder. And that’s precisely when the stock wakes up. It starts to climb. When it finally reaches the promised land of your take-profit order, you puff up again (When it finally reaches your exit strategy price, you puff up again; When it finally climbs to your long-imagined profit goal, you puff up again).You’re a genius once more! But it doesn't stop there. It goes up 10%... 20%... 30% past your target. Suddenly, your genius feels like stupidity. You’re not a visionary; you’re a rube who sold way too early.
But now you have cash in hand ( But now you're sitting on dry powder;
But at least you're sitting on a pile of cash now).
Fine. Next time, you see a stock you like. It looks cheap, but you've been duped before (you've been fooled before; you've been played for a sucker before). You've learned your lesson the hard way. You wait, wanting to be clever, to be prudent. You wait for it to get just a little cheaper, to give you an even better entry. But instead of falling, it takes off like a rocket. You watch it climb without you. You feel like a dunce, a simpleton who overthought.
Other times, you buy something that just collapses. It’s a long, slow grind into the red. You wait for years, a stoic fool, just hoping to break even. Finally, you get your chance. You sell right at your cost basis, thanking your lucky stars to be out. The stock then quadruples without you. You feel like the biggest donkey to ever walk the financial markets.
Or, consider this: You hold a losing stock forever. One day, it briefly touches your purchase price for a fleeting second. You remember the pain and decide to hold on for a real profit. It then plummets, never to see those heights again. You are, once again, a nincompoop.
And let's not forget the classic: you buy a stock and it immediately skyrockets. Your friends are high-fiving you. But you’re miserable. Why? Because you only bought a paltry number of shares. You feel like a complete jackass for being so timid.
But wait — here's another classic. Sometimes the stock actually goes up. And up. You're in profit! But you don't sell. Oh no, you're not fool. You're a visionary, remember? This thing is going to the moon! So you hold, watching your gains swell with a smug grin. Then, without warning, it turns. It starts to drift down. You tell yourself it's just a pullback. It falls more. Eventually, it lands right back at your purchase price — or lower. You had profits. Real, actual profits. And you did nothing.
You're not just a moron; you're a moron who watched his stock triple in value, did absolutely nothing.(You're not just a moron; you're the kind of moron who finds a golden goose, waits for it to lay an egg the size of a house, and then watches it fly away because you were too busy calculating how many houses you'd buy).
The market has a cruel sense of humor: it gives you exactly what you want, just not when you want it. Buy the dip? Idiot. Buy early? Idiot. Buy late (Waiting for a better entry)? Idiot. Sell too soon? Idiot. Hold too long? Idiot, who missed the exit. Take profits? Idiot who left money on the table. Let them run? Idiot who watched them evaporate.
So go ahead, trade the markets
if you want to feel like an idiot, buy a stock.
The stock market is the only place where every strategy ends with you feeling like a fool. But hey, fools are lucky, right? Trade well, fool.
So go ahead, buy, sell, hold, or run. The only way to not feel like an idiot at this carnival is to never look at the chart in the first place. But then you're just an idiot who missed the party. Your choice.

Listening new music
Hi, recently I have started to listen BTS. The first song I found was "Dynamite". I really liked it. I know it is not an unique music gender. However I found it addictive. I wanted to know their names, an easy task. Faces are the actual problem, sometimes I can see the difference but when I watch a new video I am lost and confused again, trapped in a vicious circle. Haircuts doesn't help, I think they do it on purpose. Voices are the only thing I can rely on.

Flojera.
En la provincia de Chiriquí se usa un regionalismo: "meto". La palabra "meto" se usa para expresar admiración, entusiasmo por alguna buena noticia, o en momentos de disgusto. "Meto" me parece similar a la palabra "vaya" que se usa en muchas ocasiones para comunicar alguna emoción, sin tener un significado léxico propio.
Vamos a regalar algo de lo que venden en esa tienda.
Es la botella de la que saqué el mensaje.

空き家２
昨日の投稿で、街の空き家について話しました。空き家になった理由について話しました。しかし、最近自治体が空き家を取り壊し始めました。空き家があっても、家の不足があります。そのため、空き家は不人気です。
３ヶ月前、都心に廃ビルが崩れ始めたので、自治体が廃ビルや空き家を壊し始めました。自治体がビルを壊そうとする場合、難しい手順があります。そのため、数年間自治体がビルを壊していませんでした。崩れて始めたので手順を早まりました。
その後、他の空き家の扉に、張り紙に気づきました。自治体が空き家を壊す前に最終のステップです。自治体も裁判所も崩れる空き家の所有者を連絡出来なかったら、家に張り紙を粘らなくてはいけません。所有者からまだ連絡がなければ、自治体が空き家を壊せます。

고급 한국어 학생이 작성한 글 티 나는지 AI 티 나는 글인지 확인하고 싶습니다
한국 대학원에 가고 싶은데 이런 글을 자기소개로 작성해보았습나다. 여러 차례 검토와 수정을 거쳤기 때문에 자연스러운 글인지 확인하고 싶습니다. 그리고 AI 흔적 같은 거 있으면 알려주세용. 고급 한국어 학생이 글을 쓴 것처럼 보이면 완벽할 같습니다. 읽어주셔서 감사합니다 ~
자기소개:
Hola, “¿cómo te llamas?”라고 네 살쯤 되어 보이는 여자아이가 저에게 물어보았는데, 그
순간이 제가 처음으로 스페인어로 누군가와 대화한 경험이었습니다. 그 당시에는 그 여자
아이가 저랑 동갑이었고, 저의 제한적인 스페인어 능력 때문에 이름만 말했고, 나이를
표현하기 위해 손가락 네 개를 들어 보였습니다. 수년이 지난 후 이 언어 장벽의 경험을
되돌아보면서 저는 스페인어-한국어 번역가이자 통역사가 되어 사람들, 언어, 그리고 문화
사이를 잇는 중재자 역할을 하고 싶다는 것을 깨달았습니다.
3년 후 부모님과 함께 스페인으로 이사했을 때 그때와 비슷한 상황을 다시 겪었습니다.
스페인에서 학교 수업과 소통은 스페인어로만 이루어졌고, 제 주변에는 스페인어 외에는
아무것도 들리지 않는 환경이었습니다. 초등학교와 중학교 교육 내내 체코의 교육 과정을
유지하기 위해 7년 동안 스페인에서 교육을 받는 동안 매년 반기마다 시험을 통해 체코의
교육 시스템을 동시에 공부했습니다. 처음에는 스페인에 적응하는 데 큰 어려움을
느꼈습니다. 교육 과정의 차이로 인해 저는 체코의 수준보다 한 학년 위에 배정되었고, 그
결과 아직 완전히 이해하지 못한 언어로 보통 1년이 걸리는 내용을 몇 달 만에 배워야
했습니다. 이에 따라 성적이 낮은 편이었고 친구도 별로 없었습니다. 하지만 스페인어가 점점
유창해지자, 성적이 높아지기 시작했고, 친구도 많이 생겼습니다. 이 경험을 통해 언어를 알지
못하는 것이 사람에게 얼마나 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있는지 직접 느꼈고, 이에 따라 언어 학습을
계속하고 싶다는 동기를 갖게 되었습니다. 이처럼 어린 나이에 이러한 경험하면서, 복잡한
학습 과제를 관리하고 빠르게 적용하는 능력을 발휘할 수 있었으며, 이러한 역량은 이후
새로운 학문적 환경에 적응하는 데에도 큰 도움이 되었습니다.
스페인에서 공부했던 문과 중심인 고등학교 덕분에 라틴어, 프랑스어, 고대 그리스어까지
열심히 학습했고, 영어는 낮은 고급 수준, 이탈리아어는 낮은 중급 수준으로 독학했습니다.
이 학습 환경을 통해 단단한 언어 기초를 쌓을 수 있었고, 언어가 저의 학문적 삶과 직업적 삶
모두에서 중심이 되어야 한다는 확신을 갖게 되었습니다.
체코 오스트라바 대학교에서 전문 및 실무 의사소통에 집중한 스페인 문학과를 전공하면서
학사 논문을 위해 처음으로 현장 연구를 흥미롭게 진행했으므로, 이 경험을 바탕으로, 석사
과정에서도 스페인어 언어학 연구를 계속하고자 하는 관심을 두게 되었습니다. 학사 학위
덕분에 체코어와 스페인어 사이 전문 번역에 필요한 학문적 지식을 습득했고, 이를 확장하기
위해 한국어까지 포함할 계획입니다. 한국에서 스페인어 문학을 전공함으로써 저는 비즈니스
분야에서 번역가이자 통역가로서 이 세 문화와 경제 시장을 연결하는 중재자로서의 역할을
수행하고자 합니다.
한국어는 저의 삶에 큰 전환점이 있었습니다. 한국어 덕분에 시야를 넓힐 수 있었고,
전반적으로 사고의 폭을 넓히며, 지구 반대편에 있는 한 나라의 언어와 독특한 문화를 배우고
이해하고자 하는 마음을 갖게 되었습니다. 한국어를 독학으로 3년 동안 공부했고, 여유 시간을
모두 한국어 학습에 투자하였습니다. 이러한 끈기, 인내, 그리고 한국어에 대한 열정으로 하루
평균 3~4시간 정도, 단 하루도 빠짐없이 공부했으므로 TOPIK 6급을 달성할 수 있었습니다.
전체 한국어 공부를 독학으로 했기 때문에, 특히 말하기와 표현력에는 아직 자연스러운
원어민 감각과는 약간 차이가 있었습니다. 말하기 실력은 올바르고 정확한 의사소통 과정에서
매우 중요한 능력이므로 이를 개선하고 TOPIK 6급 이상의 언어 능력을 갖추기 위해 대한민국
교육부의 장학금 지원을 받아 서강대학교 한국어 몰입 프로그램을 이수하였습니다. 이 경험을
통해 저의 한국어 말하기 실력에 대한 자신감을 얻었을 뿐만 아니라 한국어 학문 환경에
적응할 수 있었고, 특히 한국 문화에 대한 깊은 이해를 갖출 수 있었습니다. 아울러 한국
대학교를 다니고 싶은 마음이 생겼기 때문에, 나중에 오스트라바 대학교에서 받았던 장학금을
통해 한 학기 동안 부산 부경대학교에 다닐 수 있게 되었습니다.
부산에서 교환 학생으로 모든 과목을 한국어로 수강했던 것은 저의 학문적 성장의 핵심적인
부분이었습니다. 처음으로 한국어-스페인어 번역 및 대조 언어학적 중심인 환경에서
공부하게 되었습니다. 이 경험은 저로 하여금 두 언어가 만나는 지점에서 연구하고 싶은
열정을 더욱 분명하게 하였습니다. GKS 장학금을 통해 이러한 학문적 맥락에서 대학원
스페인어문학과 과정을 진학하고자 하는 목표를 갖게 되었습니다. 또한 석사 논문에서 목표로
두는 대조 언어학적 분석은 이번 교환학생 경험을 통해 더욱 깊게 학습할 수 있었습니다. 뿐만
아니라 한국에서 석사 과정을 성공적으로 공부할 수 있도록 한국의 대학 교육 공부법 및 공부
전략을 습득할 수 있게 되었습니다.
초기에는 전문용어를 이해하는 데 어려움을 겪었습니다. 그러나 체코, 스페인어, 한국어의
용어를 비교하는 방식을 활용하면서 한국어와 스페인어 사이에 중요한 구조적, 화용적
비대칭성이 존재한다는 것을 인식하게 되었습니다. 특히 이러한 차이는 비즈니스
커뮤니케이션과 번역 과정에서 더욱 두드러진다고 생각합니다. 이러한 차이로 인해 한국과
스페인어권 국가들 사이의 협력과 무역에 부정적인 영향을 미칠 수 있습니다. 따라서 석사
과정 및 석사 논문을 통해 용어, 특히 비즈니스와 관련된 신조어를 실제 비즈니스와 무역
보고서 및 문서를 활용해 대조 언어학적으로 분석하고자 합니다. 저의 목표는 한국어-
스페인어 번역의 정확성을 향상하고 계약서 및 비즈니스 의사소통에서 발생할 수 있는 오류를
줄이는 것입니다. 또한 유럽적 관점에서, 한국의 기관과 스페인어권 파트너 간에 보다
효과적인 협력을 촉진하고자 합니다. 이 과정에서 체코 공화국의 전략적 위치와 저의 다국어
역량을 활용하여 양측 간 교류에 기여하고자 합니다 (...)
