머리가 감는 날 동적
안녕하세요 여러분! 오늘은 머리가 감는 날 동적을 말하겠습니다!
저는 미국에 온 혹인 이거든요. 우리 머리카락은 백인, 아시아인, 남미 사람의 머리카락도 엄청 달을 수 있거든요. 우리 머리는 엉키고 푸시하니까.
머리를 감을때 Low-mid porosity라고(?) 이런 머리가 있어서 저는 개인적으로 완전히 다 적시는게 엄청 힘듭니다.
오래동안 이 감는 동적을 어떻게 표현할지 모르겠는데 몇칠에 새로운 단어 많이 배우고 오늘의 설명에 쓸 수 있게 유튜브에서 한국 엄마 혹인 혼혈아이 곱슬 머리를 감는 영상을 봤으니까
감는 날 동적은 몇몇 단계 있습니다. 첫째는 제 머리카락 물로 적십니다. 제 머리가 잠겨서 적시는게 중용합니다. 그 다음에 샴푸나 컨디셔너을 발기전에 두피 스크래쳐로 두피를 마사지해서 문지릅니다~
샴푸를 덜어서 거품이 나를 만큼 머리에 마사지하겠습니다. 샴푸를 덜을 때는 손으로 머리를 나눠야 하겠습니다.
다시 한번 두피를 마사지해서 문지릅니다. 머리를 씻는후에 컨디셔너를 발겠습니다. 그러면 쉽게 빠르게 머리 엉킨 거 풀/빗을 수 있습니다. 20분쯤 2시간까지 머리에 컨디셔너를 적셔집니다(?). 이 단계는 Deep conditioning라는 영어로 부러도 됩니다.
다시 한번 두피를 마사지해서 문지릅니다. 다시 머리를 씻습니다. 드디어 부분으로 머리 말리겠습니다.
마지막 단계는 리브인 컨디셔너 바르겠습니다
네 그거를 하기 후에 끝났습니다 *박스*
이 설명을 읽어줘서 정말 감사합니다
혹인에 대해 새로운 것을 배웠으면 좋겠습니다
다음에 봐요, 안녕~💘

Hallo
Hallo, ich bin Chove. Wann ich war in der Schule, habe ich ein bisschen Deutsch gelernt. Aber das war in Jahrhundert zwanzig, und habe ich es vergessen! Na ja, jetzt habe ich eine Deutsche Stiefmutter und Stiefschwester, also muss ich Deutsch wieder lernen.
Es ist eine schöne Sprache, aber schwierig -- mit Dativ, Accusativ, und so weiter. Also mein Deutsch ist nicht so gut, aber es freut mich. Am letztes Jahr habe ich Deutschland besucht, für eine Woche. Ich habe etwas Deutsch sprechen, aber meine Familie sprechen auch Englisch.
Mein Deutsch ist nicht so gut wie mein Spanisch, aber ich hoffe, dass ich mehr lernen kann.
Tschuss!

A morning in St.Pete
Looking out of the window, I see a yellow fabric of a wall, lit by sunlight, punctured with brown wooden window frames here and there. The sky is unusually unclouded, its arrogant blue tinge contrasting with the yellow of the city beneath. A wafting aroma of tobacco smoke and brewed coffee reaches my nostrils and whets my appetite. I put my shirt on and tramp into the kitchen, yawning, scratching my back, feeling the pleasant coolness of the squeaking wooden floor beneath my feet.
My host greets me with a wave and an affable smile. Murmuring some songs under her breath, D. is busy brewing some coffee. I go to the adjacent bathroom and do my morning routine. Then, I go on to enjoy my morning cup of coffee and a roll-your-own offered by D., a young slender woman approaching her 30s, the wrinkles near the corners of her mouth being the only sign revealing her age. I watch her cobbling together some slapdash breakfast and chat with her about some flotsam and jetsam. As I take drag after drag and sip after sip, I look at her. She wears some baggy pants and loose-fitting shirt. She neglects bras.
It’s been one and a half years since the first time I stayed here. I reflect, somehow aloofly, that nothing seems to have changed, even if only at this place, and this thought strangely reassures me. A brazen huge fluffy ginger cat in need of grooming leaps at my knees, and they bulge under his weight. Named after a French film director, Godard the Cat rams my chest with his heavy head, and leaves his fur all over my shirt, as if touching the base. Here we go again.
My thoughts meander. I take another sip of coffee and feel it going down my throat, leaving a burning bitterness in my mouth. I watch a blueish wisp of cigarette smoke disappear at it reaches the ceiling.
"Are you going to that concert we talked about yesterday?" Asks D.
I, somehow curtly, reply,
"Yes, I am. I think I'll drop in. See you there."
I put out my cigarette and go back to my room to change my clothes. Then, three flights of stairs; then, fifty steps to the iron gates.
I breeze into that city with a strange yet surprisingly overwhelming sense of freedom.
Indeed, it’s been a while.
I am turning twenty-seven tomorrow.

白色污染
什么是“白色污染”？简单的说，这个词语是表示在海边和填地过度乱扔的废塑料。这个问题在香港特别盛行，因为由于各种行业常用塑料来包装食物，玩具，文具等各种物品。就很容易在一朝一夕积累了超大量的废物。再加上普通人缺乏的环保意识，就会损害香港的当地生态系统。
有几次在海边清理活动里，我注意到这个地方好像一个废土一模一样！甚至清了几个小时后那个地方跟开始时候相比一样，垃圾及废塑料占几个平方公里。这是一个无法忽视的问题。
那我们可以做什么预防措施来反抗这个不良问题呢？最简单及有效的事就是开始利用环保袋比如帆布包。另外人们会自学塑料的各种种类，因此会有效利用香港的回收系统。虽然这些动作可能会觉得渺小，浪费时间，事实上如果大家会改掉这些不良的生活习惯，学会一些环保习惯及意识，这样久而久之积少成多！

Ein tolles Konzert 2
Hanna bittet ihren Freund Paul, sie zu einem Konzert zu begleiten.
- Hi Paul! Also, hast du nächsten Dienstag etwas Zeit? Möchtest du mit mir ins Konzert gehen?
- Ja, vielleicht … Welche Band spielt denn?
- Band? Du meinst Orchester!
- Wieso? Willst du in die Opern?
- Nein! Ich finde die Opern nicht so toll, ehrlich gesagt. Ich meine, ich möchte zum Berliner Philharmoniker Konzert gehen.
- Ich denke, dass ich sie schon kenne. Ist diese Philharmoniker sehr berühmt?
- Ja, genau, die sind total atemberaubend gut!
- Ach so! Das wusste ich gar nicht.

Be careful what you wish for
I watched the dotted lines blurring past and the green of the road signs briefly lit up by the headlights. I was doing one hundred and thirty. The playlist seemed to have become too repetitive one thousand kilometers ago. I kept trying to fight off my drowsiness. To cover more than two thousand kilometers in just three days was by no means a small feat, but something that could be definitely managed with due caution. After all, if that woman could do it, so could I. It was the fourth day, but I was driving alone, after all. I turned the radio off and continued my journey in the sulky silence of my reflections. I wasn’t sure this was a better alternative, though.
“It’s all out of boredom. Neither of you has uttered the word. All these what-ifs and innuendos make no sense at all, and you both know that. Why, then, do you keep up these pretenses?”
I tried to push out this thought, the thought that had held me back for so long. “What if she doesn’t show up? I’ve had another episode like that before, and it still aches. Well, when something seems too good to be true, it is too good to be true. Oh, perish the thought.”
I took a turnoff and, after a quarter of an hour, parked the car near a desolate twenty-five storey building, which happened to be my rented Airbnb. The keys were left in the mailbox, just as it had been arranged. I entered a poorly lit elevator, the walls of which were tainted with graffiti and paper ads. The eighteenth floor.
The flat I entered was small yet surprisingly tidy. There was an electric stove in the kitchen, a decent shower booth, a rather comfortable bed, and a TV set, now mute. Given how little I had to shell out for this, it was more than reasonable. I stretched my back after the long drive I had just been through, got undressed and slumbered to the refreshing coolness of the shower. Jets of the pleasantly lukewarm water bit my body and chased my drowsiness and tiredness away. The evening ahead was going to be promising.
I put some clean clothes on and checked my phone. Five missed calls from an unknown number. Oh, let me guess who it could be. As if there could have been someone else calling. No.
One hour later, I found myself sitting in a café three kilometers away, a cup of coffee steaming in my hand, two thirds of a cheesecake on the plate in front of me. It helped me think. Whether or not it was a good thing remained to be seen. My smartphone buzzed with a notification. I didn’t bother to look at it.
Five minutes later, in the café burst a tall lithe girl with ash-blonde hair, the same mask of superfluous interest on her face, the same craziness beneath it, the same detachment in her eyes. How is this hard, glossy look called?
I recognized her, without a shade of fear. Oddly enough, I didn’t really feel anything. At first, my mind went completely blank. I felt neither fear nor revulsion nor any desire to talk to that woman. A wave of exhaustion seemed to have hit me again. I coughed to clear my throat, and involuntarily caught her attention.
I saw her flinch. I heard her gasp. That was enough. I should have seen a coward that she was back then, during our first and last adventure, when we accidentally went in a not so salubrious neighbourhood and spotted some miscreants dancing by their shitty music blasting from their cars parked nearby. No sooner had I become aware of this potential danger and started to think of the best possible course of action than she grabbed me by my left forearm and pulled me away with a force so incredible that I thought I’d get my hand strained. She hissed “Let’s get the fuck out of her, now” before I could feel the reassuring cold of a sharp slab of steel in my pocket. She wasn’t that ferocious, after all. Crazy, insatiable, yet cowardly. I would still like to have heard her scream in the receiver of my then-girlfriend when her shitty ploy failed.
My lips contorted in a derisive smirk, and my nostrils flared as the reminiscences were flicking through my memory. I slowly stood up and beckoned her over, my palm facing inward, my glare never leaving the pallid complexion of the girl. I watched her face growing paler than ever before, drooping with dismay and fear. I made a small step toward her, only to see her turning back and darting out of the café. As the door banged, I rested easy in the rocking chair I had occupied before. Through the window, I saw her rushing back into her car and driving away.

この２学期に入ったら、暇時間を首を長くして待っている。まあ、確かにたくさんの大事な課題をしなきゃいけない。が、IBの地獄みたいな期限が１学期、ここ三月ほどだった。明日から２学期に入る。この数ヶ月（5月まで）は卒業とIBの試験の準備をしたり、大学の奨学金の願書をしたりする期限。IBの試験はこの２年間の課程を詰め込まれた試験。来週から授業のスケジュールが変わる。例えば、1日目に生物学と英語に行って、次の日は数学と文学と地理学の授業にいく。英語の以外、それぞれの授業は1日目か2日目にある。つまりは一日おきに別の授業に行く。Day 1, day 2 systemと言われる。これによって、1日目二つの授業だけ！2日目にも早く学校から帰る。もっと暇になるから友達と遊んだり、勉強したりする時間がある。私は楽しみ！

Por que eu gosto de línguas
Para ser honesto, não sei o porquê de eu gostar tanto de línguas estranhas de repente. Me lembro quando era criança e não queria nada a ver com línguas estranhas...eu me disse que inglês era suficiente. Dois anos atrás eu resolvi aprender português, visto que era a língua nativa da minha querida vó. Eu queria poder falar com ela e deixá-la orgulhoso de mim! Enquanto aprendia português eu me interessei por outras línguas, e comecei a aprender finlandês. Desde hoje, eu sou quase fluente em português (tenho um pouco mais a aprender, como dá pra ver).

Hello there!
My nickname is Hammer, and I'm someone who writes texts in both Spanish and English in their free time. I tend to use Grammarly to correct my mistakes, but since it's a program and not a real person, I don't trust it completely. So I'd like to receive feedback from real people on this site. I think it would be an excellent way to test how good my corrector is as well.
According to this app, my main issues are with commas since I never know when I should use them or not. I tend to mix Spanish and English rules, so probably that's my problem. I'd appreciate any help you can offer me.
Thank you a lot!

Today's Article
Today I read an article about mucus in the Scientific America.
I was trying to post a summary of the article here; however, a topic that an author conveys in the article is kind of arduous for me to understand and summarize it.
So, I have decided to put off writing the summary till tomorrow. I am such a procrastinator.
Thank you so much for reading!
Have a nice weekend, all of you.

くるくる回る話
こにちは！ベンです。長い間この文を考えたが、大丈夫かどうかわからないです。よろしくお願いします。

「人間の感情の循環的性質についての反省」
＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿
昨日はtinderで出会った２７歳の男に会いました。
一緒に南茨木駅の近くの民族博物館で、人類の文化を巡りました。
まるで6時間で世界中を冒険したようでした。
とっても面白い体験でした。
すべての展示で心の底から感動しました。
ガムランの楽器を叩くと、ドクンドクンという鼓動しか聞こえなかったです。
昔の韓国の家を再現した空間では、ベッドに入りたかったですがサインによると駄目らしかったです。
またはフィリピンの共食いの道具の展示では一緒に見ていた彼の、耳たぶのない、ピアスの付いた耳を舐めたかったです。
この民族博物館では人間関係のレッスンをよく学びました。
というと、いちばんやりたっかたことは手を握りたかったです。
その日までも日本では「沈黙は金、雄弁は銀」というと心に留めておきました。それで彼に最初に何も言いませんでした。
例えば京都では平和を保存するため列車で何も言わなくて方がいいです。僕のヘッドホンの音量をよく下がります。
会社ではフィードバックは歓迎されないと聞いています。
日本の一番有名な作曲家、武満徹先生がよく音楽の中に間を作るため無音を使います。
僕のアパートの契約さえの内容については日中でも音楽ができません。
彼の手を握ったかったが言えなかったです。
ところが好機がなかったです。
彼が車椅子を使いますので手は常に忙しかったからです。
少し後で観覧車を乗りました。彼が普通の席に代わりに僕のそばに座わりました。観覧車のカプセルが傾いても僕が気にしていなかったです。二人ぼっちでした。
関西ではゲイの人々はいままで静かで内気だと感じます。腹芸という概念があります。無音でも心の意味を伝えます。でも、僕は沈黙はかなり過大評価されていると思います。
大体このライドは同じように静かでした。僕はニューヨークからでも、大阪の文化と都市光の背景の中に何も言えなかったです。鉛筆のようにそのまま見回りました。でも手を繋がれなかったのです。
後でお寿司を食べながら一気に「手を握りたかったです」とポロリと言ってしまった。
沈黙。
。。。
駅で見送る時静かに待っていました。
反省でこの可愛い元ダンサーはなかなか話したくない見たようでした。
デートは成功したかどうかはわからないですが、
静かでも、最後に手を握っていた。

My first entry
Hello guys,
I would like to improve my English skills because I feel like I should be better by now. I'm in English class right now and I'm really bored. I'm in a learning hub where students have to study on their own and I feel like my English is not improving.
I hope I didn't make a lot of mistakes.

Das Schloss des Napa
Es gibt im Norden der San Francisco ein großes Tal heißt Napa Valley. Es ist als der Hauptstadt des Kalifornienwein bekannt und gibt viele verschiedene Kellereien. Ein Kellerei gibt drei Labradorhunde und hat ein Cabernet Sauvingnon, das natürlich "Drei Lab Cab" heißt. Die Labradorhunde sind sehr süß. Ein ist schwarz, ein ander gelb, und das lästes braun/schokoladebraun.
Meine Lieblingskellerei ist aber Castello di Amorosa. Es ist ein prachtvolles Schloss, das in Anlehnung an einen 13. Jahrhundert toskanisch Schloss gebaut ist. Es sieht sehr alt aus, hat aber in 1994 bauen angefangen. Es war in 2007 erledigt.
Das Schloss liegt auf einem kleinen Hügel, der mit Weinrebe bedeckt ist. Man kann ein Schlosstour machen und sehe ein Verlies, das voller Mittelalterenwaffen ist. Es gibt auch hunderte Weinfässer und man kann ein junges Wein schmecken.
Wenn Sie selbst in San Francisco oder Nordenkalifornien finden, dann sollten Sie Napa besuchen versuchen. Es ist sehr schön und das schlechter Dinge, dass passieren könnte, wird von Kalifornienwein Kalifornienwein betrunken zu werden!

天気の子（ネタバレ）
昨日と今日、天気の子はサンフランシスコ映画館にリリースしたので、日本人の友達と一緒に見に行った。彼は2回この映画を見たが、僕は始めてだった。設定と音楽など、全部が良かった。
全然想像出来なかったことはこの映画では君の名はの二人のキャラクターが出てきた！友達によると、2つの映画は同じ世界で、天気の子のタイムラインは4年先だ。
ちょっと悩んだことは最初から晴れの子は沢山魔法を使ったら、居なくなると教えてくれた。それを知らなかったので、本当に気になった。そしてヒナは晴れが来るためによく祈ったので、ずっと彼女が居なくなることに心配した。
あとプレイボイ小学生の子供が出て超面白かった。そしてほだかがヒナが好きので、彼からrelationshipアドバイスもらった。この子供のおかげで、よく笑った！
この映画が好きで、もう一度見たいと思う。

제가 한국어를 배우는 이유
3년 전에 제 한국인 친구는 제가 그녀와 함깨 한국어 수업을 듣는 것을 원했어요. 여름 동안 그녀 더 좋은 점수를 원했어요. 그런데 혼자 가고 싶지않아요. 보통 선생님이 되기 위해서 대학교에 프랑스어와 스페인어를 공부해요. 그리고 새 언어를 재미있는 것 같았어요. 한글이 가장 쉬웠는데 어휘과 듣기가 문제가 되어 왔어요. 이 수업이 전에 저는 한국팝과 한국드라마들을 많이 안 보지만 공부하기 위해서 그들 이용하기 때문에 좋아하기 시작했어요. 공부를 쉬기 후에 지금 혼자 연습하고 있는데 올해 원어민과 더 얘기하고 싶은 것을 제 목적이예요. 읽기 감사합니다!

Regulation of coal ash
The content of the reading and listening is totally contradictory in the new regulations of protecting the environment from burning coal in power plants that produce coal ash. Firstly, the reading mentions that environmental regulations already exist. Companies are required to use liner for preventing coal ash leaking into the ponds or landfills. However, the listening maintains that the regulations are not sufficient at all, because the liner has to be used only when companies build new landfills or pounds. Companies are not required to use in odd one. So, it causes significant damage that chemical materials leak into drinking water.
Secondly, the reading suggests that coal ash has been recycled, which is used in building materials like concrete and brinks, but customers concern that the materials are too dangerous. So they stop buying the products. Yet, the listening asserts that the regulations are not likely stopping customers from buying the products. Take mercury, for example, it is harmful material, but it is successfully and safely recycled for a long time. There are a few concerns from customers.
Lastly, the reading implies that strict new regulations would be raising electricity costs. Likewise, the speaker disputes it and stresses that although the cost increases, the benefit from coal ash is worthwhile than the extra cost. In addition, the cost increases the customers' electricity bill only one percent.
