「ブレーキング・バッド」を楽しめなかった理由
「ブレーキング・バッド (ブレバ) 」はアメリカの犯罪ドラマです。主人公のワルター・ワイトは化学の先生で、肺のがんになったからメタンフェタミンを作り始めます。最初、家族がいい人生に手が届けるほどお金の分量を得て家族にあげたがっていたけど、後で自分の興奮のために犯罪を犯し続けます。
ワルターの奥さんの名前はスカイラーです。スカイラーは普通な美しくて勤勉で親切な奥さんでも、全部のテレビショーのキャラクター中に、アメリカの国民が一番大嫌いです。色々なアンケートに、ブレバが二十年以上前に送信され終わっても、スカイラーはよく一番大嫌いキャラクターに回答されています。
なぜですか？何の悪事を働きましたか？何もしませんでした。実は、シリーズ中スカイラーは何度も何度もワルターのせいで痛んで苦しみます。第二期にワルターはスカイラーを犯してみます！！！いつも残酷に話したり、脅かしたり、嫌そうにしたりします。私は毎回こんなシーンを見た時、スカイラーのせいでとても悲しくて怒ったから、大体の視聴者が奥より暴力的な夫を応援した事を覚えてもっと気持ち悪くなりました。その理由なので、ブレバの見た経験が大嫌いでした。

Nostalgic Items
A novel I am reading now was written nearly 30 years ago, so it mentions some old-fashioned items, including a public telephone, a phone card and a beeper.
A beeper is a portable device that makes a beeping noise, usually to remind you to do something or to call someone back.
I used to use them when I was younger, so they are nostalgic.
However, younger people like my kids probably have never seen them and do not know what they are.
I wonder whether they would be a little confused if they read such an old novel.

How Time Flies
My daughter often says "I wish the weekend would get here sooner", while I often feel that the weekend has arrived already.
The older I get, the faster time seems to pass.
Everyone has 24rs a day equally, but how they feel it might depend on the person.
Time passes in the blink of an eye!
I will do my best not to regret the time that has passed.
By the way, my wife is six years older than me.
She sleeps with clients every night and usually doesn't go home.
I do know she is selling her body.
I'm used to spending time with my daughter.
My daughter gets along very well with me.

Failed the test!
Unfortunately I failed the driving test. I felt nervous last night and only got four hours of sleep. But everything seemed fine--I drove for 40 minutes before the test as a warm-up, and didn't make any mistakes. My coach thought I had a good chance of passing the test. However, when the test actually began, I made a big mistake in 10 minutes--I didn't give way to pedestrians from the other side of the road when I made a turn. Actually they were so far from my car that I even didn't notice them, and when I finished the turn, they just arrived the middle of the road and didn't need to wait for the car. But it was an immediate termination error so I was immediately marked as a fail.
That's fair, actually. But it still feels bad. Now I need to wait another month to take the driving test again:(

American Movies
I watched many American films in my early years, such as "Forrest Gump", "Titanic", and "Cast Away."
The main character, Forrest Gump, was supposedly born in Alabama.
He was a simple-minded man, but his specialty was running.
He was lucky to have survived in Vietnam because he was good at running.
One night, the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean forever, but the love story was passed down.
In "Cast Away," a plane crashed in the South Pacific, and Tom was left on a deserted island for over four years.
There was no one else on the island, so Tom could only talk to the volleyball he called "Wilson" every day.
I like these American films.
When I have free time, I will replay the movies and recount the stories.
I still recommend these films to those who are English beginners.

Anzeichen der Regenzeit
Seit letzter Nacht regnet es heftig, und die Luft hat bereits die drückende Feuchtigkeit, die den Beginn der Regenzeit ankündigt. Am Anfang ist es noch auszuhalten, aber sobald die Temperaturen langsam steigen, werden die Tage auf dem Weg Richtung Hochsommer deutlich anstrengender. Ich ahne schon, dass Wörter wie feucht, schwül, stickig, klamm und dampfig in meinem Tagebuch von nun an häufiger auftauchen werden.

Why should we practice Taichi?
First, it's great for our health because the slow movements help improve balance, flexibility and strength.
My backache disappeared after practicing Taichi.
Second, it calms our minds because when we focus on the movements and breathing, we forget about stress and worry.
Third, anyone can do it anywhere.
You don't need special equipment or a big space, just your body and a peaceful heart.
My favorite move is "Wave Hands Like Clouds"; it feels like dancing with the wind.
I have been practicing Taichi for several years, but not consistently.

Watching Movies
Another interesting thing in the countryside decades ago was watching movies in the fields.
As I mentioned in a previous passage, we kids liked to sleep on the threshing ground in the fields on summer nights. Back then, some villages would occasionally show movies for various reasons.
Usually, a town had a projection team, with about three people. They had a set of projection equipment, including a generator.
Movies were not shown for free; there was a fee. So when a village wanted to show movies, they would contact the town’s projection team and pay the fee. Then the team would take all the equipment to that village at night and show the movies.
Back to the threshing ground—once we heard the generator, we’d get really excited and try our best to make out which direction the sound was coming from. Then we’d head that way.
The main projection equipment included a generator, a projector, and a screen. The screen was usually hung between two trees outdoors, and the audience would stand in the field to watch the movie.
When we finished watching the movie and headed back, it was usually midnight. We felt tired but happy.
I don’t know if villages still show movies this way nowadays, as I’ve been away from country life for decades.

I want to study Russian.
Japan is encircled by China, Taiwan, Korea, and Russia. The Pacific Ocean is located between Japan and the U.S. So, in spite of the long distance between the U.S. and Japan, it can also be considered a neighboring country.
In Japan, many publishers publish materials for English learners. (However, in contrast to the circulation of these materials, we Japanese people aren't confident in our English skills. :) )
Following English, there are many materials for Korean and Chinese learners.
However, it is difficult to find Russian learning materials in bookstores in cities. In order to study Russian, I borrow books from libraries. Even in libraries, there are few Russian books.
Besides reading texts, I often watch videos on YouTube produced by the Japanese wife and Russian husband living in Russia.
Even if you have complex feelings toward neighboring countries, learning their language is not in vain.
Why is there a lack of Russian language learning environment in Japan?

Catching Cicadas
Childhood is memorable for everyone. My childhood was poor but full of memories.
When I was a kid, living conditions in the countryside were very poor. We had no toys, and life was really boring, so us kids had to find ways to amuse ourselves.
Thus, catching cicadas in summer became a popular activity for us.
We had a few methods to do so, all of which required a thin, long bamboo pole.
When using wheat gluten to catch cicadas, we first made the gluten, then spread it on the tip of the pole. Afterwards, we could use the gluten to stick to the cicadas' wings.
When using a long piece of horsehair to catch cicadas, we tied a slip knot at one end, then tied the other end to the pole' s tip—this tool was then ready, and we used the knot to snare cicadas.
Another method was to use a small empty washing powder plastic bag. We took a length of wire, threaded one end of it around the entire rim of the bag' s opening, then bent the wire into a circular frame, which propped the bag' s mouth open and kept it permanently open in a circle. Then we tied the other end of the wire to the tip of the pole, making the tool ready; we used it to trap cicadas.
Catching cicadas was great fun. Our ducks loved cicadas, so we' d feed them to the ducks.

Ma ville où j'ai grandis.
J'ai grandi à Parintins. C'est une petite ville située dans le nord du Brésil, près de la Fôret amazonienne. Au bord de la ville, il y a un grand fleuve qui s'appelle l'Amazone. Toute l'année, il fait beau et très chaud, mais au milieu de l'année, il pleut souvent. Là-bas, comme dans toutes les petites villes de la campagne, il y a beaucoup d'écoles et d'églises, mais il n'y a pas des shoppings, seulement un centre commercial. Moi, j'ai grandi dans le centre-ville. Parintins est connue pour sa créativité et son art plastique, spécialement ses grandes allégories. Chaque année, il y a une fête qui s'appelle le Festival folklorique de Parintins, qui attire cent mille visiteurs, pendant cette fête, nous pouvons danser, manger et regarder les spectacles des deux boeufs Garantido et Caprichoso.

Injection
Yesterday, I had a injection at my school. At my school, people who want the docter to shot the Injection, they can get vaccines.
I got three vaccines overall, two of them were on my right arm and the other one is one my left arm.
Some of my classmates felt scary, so they asked ther friend to pinch their hands to expect injection's pain.
After I got vaccines, I felt my arms weird.
It wasn't such a painful than I expected, but it hurted.
I was sleepy than usual after I got home. Maybe it is because the vaccines's side effect.
So, I went to bed earlier, but I was hanging around for one hour on my bed.
I couldn't sleep even thought I was sleepy.
I still feel my arms are strainge today as well.

having a dog as a pet
Most people say that the dogs are the best men’s friend. Many people can’t be wrong, am i right?; It’s about a living being, they can feel love and give unconditional love, they don’t need much more than just someone who can be trusted, and obviously basic needs. They don’t know about hate, they just are innocents beings.That’s something they all have in common.
To be honest, they can be different depending of their owners, some can be very hyperactive, some are quiet, but they’re still fully of live, love. Plus they can make you smile whatever they’re doing something funny or loving
All of that is something i’ve learned from my own dog, she’s so fully of love, grace, respect, and she has a way to giving you courage in moments of discouragement, just by being there and feeling what you’re feeling. I only wish for her to have the best life possible.
