Medici
Some time ago, I watched the first 2 episodes of the TV series "Medici: Masters of Florence." The biggest draw for me is that the composition of scenes and the lighting are very beautiful. Affected by it, recently I started to read a book about the Medici family.

前一段时间，我看了电视剧《美第奇家族:翡冷翠名门》的前两集。这部电视剧最吸引我的地方是它的画面构图、打光处理得都很美。受这部电视剧影响，最近我开始读一本讲述美第奇家族历史的书。

25-26-27 three days holiday
Some countries don’t have that three days as holiday.
I consider that is one of the best holidays for me.
Since I transfer to a new work place and I make a lot of new friends.
I can really make use this three day to get to know them more.
Getting acquaintance with co-workers gives me confidence while working.
Knowing them more is interesting just reading a story of life from another person.
Although I am already 50’s I still can learn many knowledges from young people.
Best decision I made in this year.

A novel in the word I learned.
I heard you are good at imitating his voice.
-I can't tell to you anything about it.
Really? that sucks.
Do you play your cards close to your vest?
I thought you don't give a crap about anything.
-It is definitely a violation of privacy.
If you took my information I'll catch you red-handed.
A rebellious activity the day is good for morale.
-I'll level with you. You’re more than welcome if you keep quiet.
I think you have a lack of computer literacy.
You know, "You can take a horse to the water, but you can't make him drink", I think it is difficult for you but you should throw your phone away immediately.
It deprives me of life.
ok, I'll try it. It is brand-new to me.
-Attagirl.
Now I'm 2021 going on 1980.

"La edad del imperio" de Michael J. Sullivan #1
El capítulo tres
Salvando Moya
"Si hay algo que aprendí de muriendo, es la verdad simple que no importa cuán sombrías, terribles o imposibles puedan parecer las cosas, siempre pueden empeorar -- y con demasiada frecuencia lo hacen." --El libro de Brin
Moya vio el puente romperse y caerse.
Ella había sido cargada a la reina por un bankor y ahora estaba siendo restringida por un hombre grande o tal vez un gigante pequeño. Él la agarró desde atrás, así que lo único que ella sabía con certeza era que él olía a sudor y sangre. Sus manos apretaron sus brazos con tanta fuerza que le dolió. Le impidieron escapar, pero cuando Moya vio el puente hacerse añicos, también le impidieron colapsar.

Essay
The sun was already set, but I could still see the west sky and the clouds in the sky. The sky at that moment looked very special, especially its color. It gave people a different feeling, so I couldn't help but take these photos to want to share with you. Do you think it's special and gives us a dreamy feeling?

漢字パズル
昨日、DAISOで漢字パズルという本を買ってみた。パズルは全部で77問ある、その中でも、色々な種類に分けられている。さらに、クロスワードの本も買った。というのは、漢字パズルをすべて解いたら、何をするかわからなくなるだろうと思ったからだった…
一日に全部解けるどころか、マスに何も入れるかわからない一方だった。漢字の読み方はあまり知っていないから、常用漢字以上は言うまでもないだろう。だが、簡単なものもある。漢字熟語の四方八方散らばっている部首を再収集して、どの漢字なのか当ててみるという問題もある。四字熟語の問題と比べると、はるかにやさしいと思う。
もう一つの本は仮名のクロスワード、すなわち、英語みたいなヒントを経て、マスに入れるという問題なのだ。これは漢字パズルと並んで同じ難易度だが、別の種類の問題がそろっている。英語クロスワードと同様、ヒントを見ると、意味がすぐ明らかになるのではなく、ヒントを繰り返して読むと、ヒントの意味が分かってくる。そうすると、どの言葉が適するかが本当の問題だ。日本語の能力が私ほど弱いからには、時間がかかるに違いない。
漢字パズルの方は、わからないと、解けそうもないが、クロスワードの難しさは、ヒントの意味を解くことにある。だから、言葉がわかっても、何を入れるかわからないこともある。何と言っても、それはパズルの楽しみのではないか。全体的に言うと、とても面白かった上に、勉強になったのだ。

I Won't Quit Practicing Languages
I have not kept my diary for a period of time due to working, but I won't give up for this. Besides of that, eating foods is important before starting to work, otherwise your understanding will reduce gradually and make you faint while you learning many things.

Jour 32 : l'eau Cologne
Je suis passée devant cet atelier de Cologne pour plusieurs fois. J'étais séduisée parce que la décoration est plutôt belle mais je n'avais pas d'envie d'en acheter un parce que ça me semblait très coûteux. Comme c'est Noël et Nouvel An, la désire d'en avoir un petit flacon s'agrandit en moi, et donc aujourd'hui, en passant devant sa porte, j'ai met les pieds et fait une visite pour jeter un œil ou même acheter un. Le vendeur m'a recommandé quelques parfums et parmi eux, j'aime l'orange sanguine. En plus, les emballages pour l'édition limitée de Noël sont magnifiques. Cependant, je n'ai pas encore pensé ce que je voulais faire engraver sur ça. De plus, ça coûte plus haut que j'avais imaginé. Je me suis donc sortie la main vide du magasin. Mais bon, peut-être la prochaine fois que je passerai devant ce magasin, je ferrais un achat.

Cold
It was cloudy and cold yesterday. My neighbor was very noisy because of the building constructing. I wanted to find somewhere to stay for afternoon. I didn't want to ribe a bike to De, who I visited a lot, because it was a little far away. I called a friend nearby, but she wasn't at home. Finally, I went to the teaching building, and had a seat at the reading corner since I didn't want to ask the securer to open the office's door. I calmly did two sets of listening exercise.
It's colder today, and drizzled. After class, I went to the meeting room. Nobody was there. I did a set of listening and checked the answer, relistened. The room was colder than the classroom, and I also was hungry, though. To my surprise, I was still calm. Maybe I know that if I want to catch my goal, I really need to work harder. I need to get a good score in IELTS, only then can I apply the school I want to study in.
I like cold weather because I think it makes me calm. I dislike hot weather because it drive me irritable.
Preparing for IELTS is quite hard for me, and I know that applying schools won't be easy either. No pay no gain. I need to stay calm and try my best, just step by step.

Calling With My Brother
I don't have friends to call regularly.
Instead, I try to talk with my brother on the phone quite often.
Because he lives too far from my home, so we are not able to meet twice a year.
On the phone, we usually talk about many topics like his new girlfriend, each city's weather and funny YouTubes.
The phone call makes me feel happy and comfortable.

Yes. I think you have completely understood what 面子 means. At first, I was really afraid that I couldn't make myself clear or you would have difficulties understanding what I said. I didn't expect that you would be such a quick learner.
To strengthen that concept, I'd like to give you a few more sample sentences.
I thought he should have treated me enthusiastically, but he didn't. This made me feel that I really lost 面子.
To save my 面子, I prepared so hard for this competition because I wanted to be a winner and didn't want to lose my 面子.

Fifth journal
As I’m keeping a diary recently, a strong desire caught me to look all over my old diaries I’d written when a teen. So I took them from the memory box located in the corner of the closet. A teen, I was so sentimental, crazy, and evil...LOL. I felt so cringe and even a shame reading the poems in the diary I’d written. However, all the memories I wrote were precious. This moment I’m recording will be the same precious memory later.

This is an interesting question and many Chinese people want to know how to say 面子in English. To answer this question, I have checked many resources on the Internet, but all I got is only confusion because everybody has different opinions, and some of them are even the opposite. Now I want to express this issue in my own way based on what I have learned. If you translate 面子 directly into English, it is just "face", it's so simple. Let me set several scenes to show you what 面子means. One day, you go to a dancing party, your skirt suddenly falls down while you are dancing, so you can consider that you are really losing your 面子. Another example is that one day you are playing cards with your bestie. All of a sudden, your husband comes yelling at you and taking you away very rudely in front of your bestie because he hates you playing cards, so you can also consider that you are losing your 面子. On the contrary, if you and I are just very ordinary friends, we talk little and do not get in touch so often. Anyway, just a nodding acquaintance, but one day, you need to go to China to ask me to do you a small favor. What do you imagine how I would treat you? Of course, I most likely won't treat you so enthusiastically, and probably just give you the minimum respect because we are just nodding acquaintances. But the fact is that when I meet you in China, I treat you to big meals every day, offering you a seven-star hotel and accompanying you all the time. Besides, I pay all the bills for you, so you will consider that you really have 面子. So I think now you will know what 面子 means in English, although I still don't know the exact English words or phrases that refer to 面子. I hope this helps.

Ein schönes Zitat (Übersetzung)
"Dein Leben gehört zu dir. Ich möchte dass du diese Satz liest bis das völlig zu deiner Bauch gesunken ist und alle und jede Zulufte die sagt dass du deine Intuitione pausieren solltest. Dass du dich selbst zweitens liegen solltest, dich presst und beugt und zerbreche frei von was die andere denken du sein solltest. Dein Leben gehört zu dir. Ich möchte das es durch dein Kopf so viel Mal durchgeht bis das langsam der Schutt des Angsts aufräumt. Ich will dass du mit diesem Wissen maditierst bis es dir ausfällt das du nicht zu seltsam bist, du hast nur Mut dein wahre Ich zu sein. Du bist nicht zu anders, du hast nur Mut dein eigenes Herz zu folgen. Du bist nicht unwürdig, du bist nur ehrlich über die sehr natürliche menschliche Erfahrung die Unwürdigkeit zu fühlen. Jede Mensch der lebt wünscht diese gleiche Arte des Freiheitens zu verkörpern. Sie verurteilen dich nicht, sondern ausdrücken seine eigene Teile die sie ins Schweigen zu verurteilen haben. Dein Leben gehört zu dir und wird das immer sein. Du muss der Mut finden um das zu fordern, oder das wird dich unberührt passieren - das schimmernd Potenzial von alle die hätte geschehen können." ~ Brianna Wiest
