Pandemie

Durch die Pandemie alle Sachen sind nicht mehr wie früher. Es gibt Stunden, die ich mich fragen, ob uns unser altes Leben zurückgekommen werden. Aber heute freue ich mich über meine Mutter, die gestern hat sich geimpft. Ich freue mich sehr darüber, weil ich gerade ein bisschen Frieden erleben kann.
Ich denke, dass Freizeit bei uns in Brasilien das gleich wie andere Länder zurzeit ist: wir dürfen nicht ausgehen, so die meisten Menschen sind mit der Familie zu Hause.

Covid-19 en Angleterre

Hier le gouvernement Britannique a annoncé le nombre de nouveau contaminations dans le Royaume-Uni a baissé a 6 mille. Ceci est dix per cent que le niveau nous avons vu au commencement du janvier. Le Royaume-Uni est couramment dans une confinement très stricte; les écoles, tous les magasins et pubs sont fermés. C'est dur, c'est n'est pas possible de visiter des autres personnes. Le gouvernement a autorisé un personne pour rencontre avec un autre seulement dans un lieu public. En conséquence les parcs en Londres sont très plein de peuples tous les jours mais surtout au weekend. Les restos peuvent ouvrir seulement pour Pret a Porter donc il' y a beaucoup de personnes qui achètent un pizza, par exemple, et le manger dans le parc.
Le program de vaccination marche bien toutefois. Nous avons vacciné un tiers des plus âge peuple dans le pays. Le gouvernement a dit que les écoles ouvriront le 8 mars et les magasins et le 15 Apr. J'espère après ce date la vie peut recommencer. A ce moment c'est très ennuyant de rester dans la maison tout le temps.

여신강람

어제 한국 드라마를 보고 싶어서 많이 인기가 있는 드라마는 보기 시작했어요. 그 드라마는 여신강람이에요. 여신강람은 먼저 왭툰이였고 그 다음에 드라마 만들어 졌어요. 근데 그 왭툰을 잘 못 봤어요. 여신강람은 못 생긴 고등학생 여자 대해 있어요. 그 여자를 다른 예쁜 여자들은 괴롭혀고 그렇게 싫은 거 이상한 이유가 있어요. 못.생.겨.서...예쁜 여자는 라고 말했거든요. 제 생각에는 좀 이상해요. 그래서 못 생긴 여자는 새 고등하교에 다녀서 위장처럼 메이컵을 쓰기 시작하기로 했어요. 전 공감할 수 있어요. 전에 저를 괴롭혔으니까요. 그래도 메이컵을 쓰지 않아요.

McJob

One twitter user posted "We can withstand low-wage work. However, there is nothing worse than the jobs which won't offer any opportunities to acquire new skills. Employees working at routine tasks would be engaged in the same tasks over the next ten years. This is a serious problem for their life plan. Someday they would be forced to quit the jobs if they settled down the easy jobs. It seems that these repetitive jobs are called "McJob" in America. Certainly, ten-years career of McDonald's part-time job won't make you competent worker."
Nowadays many people are engaged in McJob against their will. I'm one of them even though I got a master degree in medical engineering. Japan's large companies pay little attention to students' personality or career. The companies are likely to standardize new employees to get used to routine works. I'm really worried about my career. I don't want to settle down the easy job.

Löwenmähne

Der Löwenmähne ist eine Pilzart, von dem angenommen wird, dass er viele gesundheitliche Vorteile hat. Laut manche Studien kann der Pilz die neuronale Gesundheit fördern, und in anderen wurde es sogar gezeigt, dass er Krebs verhindern kann. Ich war etwas skeptisch wegen der Assoziation mit der sogenannt "traditionellen Medizin", aber nachdem ich ein bisschen mehr gelesen habe, habe ich mich entschieden, dass die gesundheitlichen Vorteile von Pilzen wahrscheinlich wahr sind, und es wäre gut, meine Ernährung damit zu ergänzen. Ich habe seitdem Ergänzungen von Löwenmähne, Reishi und Chaga gekauft. Ich hoffe, dass sie auf die eine oder andere Weise meiner Gesundheit zu verbessern werden.

My experience

I have strong confidence that I am capable of further learning of this major. One significant driver is that I am a qualified member to your program in terms of social practice accumulation. Taking some concrete instances, I have significant leadership experience as a deputy store manager of a makeup shop. During my tenure, I led our sales team to achieve first place in terms of sales volume. I am also a good team player and independent problem solver as a sales assistant of Kenji department in Decathlon. I assisted the manager and solved many challenging problems through time management, via establishing a clear division of work and with the whole-hearted cooperation of every team member, during which I was awarded the Outstanding Member of Staff and was chosen as the Service Star for my excellent performance. Moreover, my experiences as a member of multiple school clubs and an organizer in arranging the Star of Outlook English Talent Competition have greatly enriched my college life and also helped to improve my communication and organizational skills. Another key factor involves my keen interest in luxury goods, fashion and sales management expertise. I have dabbled in a wide range of books and took business-related online courses and completed these course with certificates in my spare time, which definitely widened my knowledge preserve. For instance, the online course-Financial Markets of Yale University offered me an overview of the ideas, methods, and institutions that permit human society to manage risks and foster enterprise; Successful Negotiation: Essential Strategies and Skills of University of Michigan greatly improved my ability to negotiate. To successfully complete these online courses, I was required to take tests and carry out thesis.

Hot Springs

Today, I went to a hot spring facility with my friends and experienced a salt sauna for the first time. The salt sauna uses salt to apply on the skin, removing waste products within the body. I don't know salt saunas are more effective than normal ones, but it was fun to rub salt on my skin. In addition to this, there were a lot of kinds of hot springs there. For instance, there was a carbonate spring that included CO2 in the water and was a bit stimulating. It was relaxing to enjoy a bath for a long time.

Diary: Save Art From Oblivion

Today I watched a TED about record collectors. Compared with the current release of music through streaming, in the last century, a lot of music was distributed on records; those music existed in analog signals and were not digitalized. Record collectors hunted for valuable records in the past. Give art a second chance; save art from oblivion. This thought really touched me. It reminds me that a staff of a library. Once I visited the Chinese periodical management department of a library. When I first entered the door, I was taken aback. This staff has some disability, is very hunched, and her chest is almost close to her stomach. As the demand for paper books continues to decrease and the demand for electronic editions continues to increase, this library has decided not to subscribe to Chinese periodicals anymore, this department will be closed, and she will retire this year. She was binding the past issues. She said that these magazines are so good, and hope that someone will find them in the future and let them play their value. I have always felt that the dilemma encountered by the library is very similar to the music industry; both are problems caused by media changes. One of my research topics is also about giving new vitality to these "old" things through the community, hoping that these beautiful things will not be completely forgotten.

Trust me, you did a good job. Every Chinese character is pronounced accurately. Someone just said "pay more attention" but she didn't say you were wrong. And that is just a saying. I assume maybe she just means you do not pronounce it fluently. Anyway, well done, there is nothing wrong with your tone. You just need to practice more so that you can get fluency.

もし音楽がない世界があったら、初めて聞かせる曲は何

君はもし急に音楽がない世界に行ったら、どんな曲を聞かせるか。最初の思いは多分自分の一番好きな曲かもしれない。私なら、クイーンのボヘミアンラプソディが私の一番好きな曲だから、それを聞かせたい。でも、本当に前に音楽を聞いたことがない人として、曲は難しすぎれば、怖くなる可能性もある。だから、童謡の方がいいだと思う。

What is the most annoying thing when you are driving a car?
For me, I hate to receive phone calls when I am driving. If you answer the call, you have to stop the car first. If you decide not to answer the call, you will be afraid that someone may have an emergency, so it's really annoying when you receive a phone call while driving a car. Another annoying thing is that you drive at night. Although car lights are very bright at night, driving is not as convenient as it is during the daytime. You have to be very careful when driving a car at night, and you easily get tired. The third annoying thing is that you drive on rainy days. Although it's daytime and the windscreen wipers work efficiently, driving during rainy days you will get bad sight, and also, the roads are so slippery that it's easy to get accidents. Ok, that is all the annoying things when people are driving a car so far I can consider.

<2021 KMA>

MOGWAA and ASEUL have won the Best Dance & Electronic Album and Song category, respectively, in the 2021 Korean Music Awards held yesterday.

MOGWAA received the award for “Open Mind,” his EP album from last August, and ASEUL for “Bye Bye Summer,” one of the double title tracks of her studio album “Slow Dance,” which was released last March.

In response to winning the award, MOGWAA took to Instagram yesterday to say, “I am really grateful for everyone who cares, loves and supports me. I will buy many quality instruments and work harder on making better tracks.”

ASEUL also thanked people on her Instagram yesterday. The caption says, “I am really grateful for my friends, fellow artists and selection committee members who congratulated me as if it were their achievements.”

You can check out the winners in the other categories here.

<ASEUL>

ASEUL’s "Bye Bye Summer" is like a grade-B SF movie produced by an indie movie director.

ASEUL won the Best Dance & Electronic Song category in the 2021 Korean Music Award yesterday. Since I hadn’t listened to it before, I gave it a shot today.

From the very intro, I got the ominous feeling that her vocal style and melodies might remind me of Neon Bunny. And I was right.

Leaving her debatable vocal abilities aside, I couldn’t get my head around the mixing quality and arrangement of “Bye Bye Summer.” I guess I could get by with the off-mark drone sound in the intro and too much reverb on her voice, which was probably ramped up to hide her incompetent vocals. But the chorus was definitely too much for me. Its instrumentation was bad, so many instruments clashing with each other, and unpleasant resonances popped up everywhere from the upper-mid to the high-end parts.

I even see the nomination of this track is unfair to the other nominees (IDOTAPE, MOGWAA, Jangmyungsun and Two Tone Shape), who produced solid tracks. For me, when it comes to dance music in particular, the sonic quality of a song should be taken more seriously than whatever messages behind it. I mean, who would’ve enjoyed watching “Avengers: Endgame” if its visual effects and aesthetics had reminded viewers of “Godzilla” from 1998?

Listen to ASEUL’s “Bye Bye Summer” and maybe share your thoughts as well.

등반 벽

몇 달 동안 등반을 하기 못했어요. 요즘은 코로나와 통금 때문에 등반하기 어려워요. 동반 실들이 문을 닫고 있어요.
그러지만 저 사는 도시에 공공연한 등반 벽 찾았어요. 그래서 지금부터 등반 연습할 수 있어요!

I can thoroughly feel you. The reason you think so is because you are still young, which means you have a lot of time to spend. If you reach a certain age, like in your fifties, you will definitely change your mind, and I bet you will never do those so-called "relaxing and enjoyable" things again or at least you will decline it to the minimum. Of course, it is just my assumption and it is not necessarily right. However, everyone has his own attitude towards hobbies, no matter what hobbies they have, as long as those hobbies are legal, they are all right.

Everybody has different hobbies. Playing cards, drinking alcohol, exercising, traveling and so on, and these may all become hobbies of some people. In short, what hobbies are more beneficial and positive? I think there are two kinds of hobbies we should take priority the most. One is beneficial to our health, another is to improve our knowledge and skills, because these two kinds of hobbies are both meaningful things. So please be careful about your hobbies. If they are not able to bring you benefits to your body and your knowledge and skills, you better think about whether you should quit it.

Hunger

Das ist eine wirklich gute Frage, und ich musste ein bisschen mehr daran denken. Ich finde, ob ich eine Sache ändern könnte, würde ich sehr gerne den Hunger vernichten. Das ist ein sehr trauriges Ding, dass Gesellschaft sich beschämen sollte. Jeden Tag gibt es Kindern, die zum Opfer fallen.

Der Präsident von Brasilien

Bolsonaro ist der größte Fehler, das Brasilien durch Auswählen machte.
Er ist besonders Dumm. Wir erreichten am der letzten Woche die traurige Marke von 250.000 toten und er sprach noch, dass die Pandemie eine falsche Geschichte ist.
Wir haben keinen Präsident aber einen wahnsinnigen Esel, der an die Macht kam.
Er habe zum Beispiel gestern gesagt, dass Masken keine wichtige Maßnahme gegen die Pandemie ist..! Für ihn ist Cloroquina der Heiland und andere FakeNews er mag teilen. Aber ohne Trump ist er nun allein und ich hoffe, er kommt niemals wieder an die Macht.

Writing Prompt - ability

Den wasn't your ordinary high schooler. He had a special ability to see when and how people would die. This was helpful because he could help save the lives of the people around him. However, there was a catch to this ability. Some deaths aren't preventable. This was quite rare, as Den has never come across someone with an unpreventable death. But little did poor Den know, today would be the day he would meet the person who he wouldn't be able to save.

Den walked down the wooden stairs, meeting his younger sister at the dining table. Today is her first day of kindergarten, so she is very nervous. But Den assured her she would be fine. However, he noticed something wrong. Her body was glowing red, causing him to gulp. This meant that she would die today. Den took a deep breath. He won't let that happen to her; he promised himself that he would always keep his younger sister safe. Glancing at her glowing body once more, he learned that she would get hit by a car. Okay, that's easy to prevent. Just watch over her carefully as she crosses the street. "Ready to go, kids?" Their dad asks, and the siblings nod, getting their jackets.

Den and his sister walked down the sidewalk in the cold breeze until they had to cross. They made sure there were no cars nearby and walked across. But right in the middle, they hear the loud screeching of tires and a scream that would change Den's life.

Quiero hacer chilaquiles

Durante casi una semana he querido probar una receta para hacer chilaquiles pero cada día resulta mejor comer las sobras de los días anteriores. Siempre prefiero comer lo que ya tengo preparado para no olvidarlo y echarlo a perder.

Nunca he comido chilaquiles pero esta receta tiene buena pinta y creo que sería muy divertido comer algo nuevo con mi familia.
