Sogni perduti
Non ricordo i miei sogni. Passano settimane senza che io ricordi i sogni della notte.
Fu diverso como bambino per quanto mi ricordo. Ebbi sogni belli, sogni spaventosi e anche sogni ricorrenti. Non so cosa sia successo nel frattempo.
Dall'altro lato devo aggiungere che a parte della mancanza dei sogni dormo molto bene. Mi addormento rapidamente e raramente mi sveglio durante la notte.
Boh, non so cosa ne pensare. Non è così importante, ma l'ho notato stamattina.

Il Ristorante (3)
Ieri, il ristorante era affollato come ogni sabato. Per peggiorare le cose, il mio manager era passivo aggressivo verso di me improvvisamente e non sapevo perché. Quindi, ero di cattivo umore e stavo pensando perché non potremmo tutto essere un po più gentili. Dopo quando ci sono meno clienti, il capo dei cuochi mi ha chiesto se io avevo una ragazza e ho detto che no, non l'avevo. Poi mi ha chiesto quando erano i miei giorni di riposo. A quanto pare, voleva che io cucinassi e cenassi con lui e la sua famiglia un giorno. Ero molto felice e mi ha fatto molto piacere! Comunque, lui mi ha anche chiesto di portare una ragazza affinché sua moglie potrebbe parlare con qualcuno. Adesso, sto chiedendo una amica se le interessa.

ちょっと怖い話を書いて見ました
真夜中の、一本の街灯のみに照らされた薄暗い路地。いつも仕事帰りに通っているにもかかわらず、何か違和感の有る光景。
一歩
二歩
一歩
二歩
あなたは自分に、着実に進んでいると確かめながら、足を踏み出してゆく。
ドタドタと、自分の足音を聞き、安心感に浸る。早くここから脱出たいという衝動に駆られながらも。
一歩
二歩
一歩
。。。。。
三歩
後ろを振り返る。誰も居ない。音は一切ない。まるで世界が死んでいるかのような静けさ。
一歩
二歩
一歩
。。。。。
三歩
。。。。。ドクン。。
三歩
。。。。。ドクン。。
三歩
自分の足音が心臓の音でかき消されてしまい、自分の音じゃない足音だけを残す。
後ろを振り返る。誰もいない。
前を向く。人の顔が睨んでいる。
”こんばんは。今日も帰りは遅いね。仕事大変だね。”
”.........”
”ちょっと疲れているかな、顔色が悪いよ。”
”.........”
見慣れない風景の中で見慣れた顔。
いや、見慣れすぎかも。なぜかというと...自分の顔だから。
数分、数時間、睨め続ける。
その顔をぶん殴ったら、鏡の破片が指に食い込む。
そこで目が覚める。
その後、歯を磨えていると、なぜか頬が浮腫んでいる事に気づく。
お終い。

Tsundoku (積ん読)
Tsundoku is a Japanese word and means you leave books after buying them. This word has a double meaning. Tsundoku(積んどく) means keeping piled up, and doku(読) expresses books.
I have many books that I have not read yet, so I will try to digest them this November. I think winter is good for reading because the nights are long and it is reluctant for me to go outside.

Kriget i Mellanöstern
Jag såg en artikel för en vecka sedan som sa att barnen till de första soldaterna som skickades till Mellanöstern efter 2001 har nu skickats dit också, även om de flesta föddes efter att 9-11 hände och minns inte händelsen alls utan bara igenom videor eller inspelningar. Det verkar som att vi amerikaner har glömt varför vi ens är kvar där, och bara stöttar kriget för att det känns normal. Sedan 2001 så har vi betalat nästan 7 tusen miljarder dollar på ett krig medan vår infrastruktur här raseras och vår sjukvårdssystem fortsätter att vara skitdåligt. Varför försöker vi bygga upp en demokrati i Irak när hälften av alla vuxna amerikanerna inte ens röstar, och gränserna som hindrar fler från att rösta förstärkas av våra politiker? Förlåt om det här är ett tungt ämne, men det är ju någonting som jag tycker är viktigt.

Journal 11/1/20
Every time I go to my office, I have to take the elevator because my office is on the fifteenth floor, and people around me in the elevator are all younger than me. They look in their twenties or thirties, and you can rarely see people in their forties. This makes me very moved. Of course, they are all working in some private enterprises. If you are working in a government office building, you will not see this kind of situation. I think if I worked in a private enterprise, I would probably already get fired at my age, but if I am still at work at my age, the only possibility is that I must be a big boss on my own. We will never ever know why there are significant differences between the two different fields, but I always believe that the young are hope, the young will do things better than the old, so the old should give way to the young. If you break this rule, you will get bad results. Like the United States, two presidential competitors are all in their seventies, one is almost in his eighties. Can't America find a younger person to be president? So I bet the United States will go down in all aspects sooner or later.

Need help for one more time TT - analytical essay
In the letter, the author argues that employing electronic monitoring system in the workstation is necessary as this will prevent the employees from wasting work time, thereby increasing productivity. While this argument may seem plausible at first, the argument is strongly predicated on several unwarranted assumptions. The VP’s recommendation can have several implications if these unjustified assumptions fail to be accounted for.
Firstly, the author falsely assumes that there will not be any backlash from the employees if the company is to start the monitoring measure and possibly punish the employees. In fact, some employees may feel that their privacy is widely breached and think that the management is unfairly probing into their private space. If this turns out to be the case, some dissatisfied employees might even go far as to quit their job or denigrate the company to outsiders. These might even cause some fresh competent workforce to seriously reconsider joining the company. After all, it seems reasonable that few people will be willing to work for a company with such rigid measure. A lack of competent workforce means that the company could suffer from even lower productivity or profitability. In sum, the VP’s presumption that there will not be any repercussions from the changed measure is shortsighted and unwarranted.
Another possibly problematic presumption of the author is that forcing the employees not to rest will lead to enhanced productivity and profitability alike. In fact, a modicum of refreshment is essential for everyone in a work place to work productively. If the workers cannot relax at all due to the new monitoring system, it is more likely than not that the productivity will in fact decline, causing this new policy to backfire. Even when one concedes that reducing rest time indeed will lead to higher productivity, there is no guarantee that this will lead to improved profits. As discussed in the first paragraph, there are other possible consequences of the measure, such as dissatisfied employees spreading negative words about the firm or some quitting their work, etc. In such cases, even higher productivity is likely not to lead to higher profits. In short, the presumption that forcing the employees to only work, without any refreshment, will lead to improved productivity and profit is not only unjustified but also can lead to unexpected repercussions.
Lastly, the vice president assumes that there is no other means for the employees to avert monitoring from the management. This assumption is attributed to the vagueness of the statement. In other words, the VP does not account for the possibility that the workers will engage in recreational activities via means other than the workstation. In fact, there could be other numerous ways that the employees could engage in these activities, such as by using cellphones, personal tablets, laptops, etc. In order to rule out these possibilities and strengthen his argument, the VP should specify the extent that the monitoring will take place.
As discussed in the above paragraphs, the argument, in its current presentation, rests on several unwarranted assumptions. These are assumptions that there will not be any repercussions from implementing the monitoring system, that less rest time will lead to higher productivity and profitability, and that there are no other means, other than using the workstation, for the employees to engage in recreational activities in the work place. These unwarranted assumptions can lead several negative repercussions. Therefore, it is necessary for the company to address these issues before the company serious considers implementing the new measure.

Sometimes, I feel this is one of the happiest periods of time in my life: no need to buy houses or cars, no need to make money, no need to think about how to get promoted, no need to maintain official relationships. When traditional Chinese festivals come, I only need to visit my parents. No matter people who are rich or in a higher position, they all have nothing to do with me, of course, no matter how pretty ordinary a person I am, I have nothing to do with them. I am not good at dealing with complicated interpersonal relationships, and I also don't have much time to do it or I am indeed not into it, so for me, the simpler, the better. Even if all people ignore me, look down on me, I can still live happily because I have things I like to do, and I won't ever feel bored.

Masterchef
I watched Masterchef Brazil. It's a cooking show. On Masterchef, they cook animals but I watch even being vegan. Every time that I watch, I feel hungry. The show encourages me to cook too so I take some new recipes to cook on Saturday.
The show always takes a sentimental atmosphere in the beginner. I hate this part and if I watch it on YouTube, I jump it. I don't like the part that the people change suddenly as the show does you to believe.
Well, think about it, I don't know why I watch this. Maybe, see how the members will make things or resolves problems is the fun part. And the agony from the counting down too.

Ichibanya opens first outlet in India
https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/08/03/business/corporate-business/japan-curry-ichibanya-india/
When I saw this title, I did confuse a little.
I mean no offensive, I like there curry.
Even in Hong Kong I will go to their shop to have lunch.
Some people may found their curry is not too spicy.
Anyway, to me I sometime will think India equal curry.
Or, if you talking about India food, curry is iconic food.
They should be the master of curry.
So, open a curry restaurant in India.
To me that is a very risky attempt.
Anyway, I may be wrong.
Hope they become popular in India.

No matter if I go anywhere, I generally don't buy things to take home. Because I think it is very inconvenient to take it home and I don't really know the stuff's quality and price. In addition to this, I think I can buy these kinds of goods in my local supermarket. In fact, I didn't ever buy some famous non-local products in my local supermarket. I think the simpler method is that: if you go somewhere, learn about some famous local products and you really want to try it, OK, the best way may be getting to know the famous brand and factory first, and then, you buy them online. This way, the quality and price are guaranteed, and probably, the stuff you bought can arrive with you in your home town at the same time. Isn't it the best way to buy famous local products when you go to a strange city? I used to buy Harbin red sausage and Hulunbeier cheese this way. Of course, everyone has their own different ways to buy famous local products and this is only my own way.

どうやって会話を練習するか
今日、私はどうやって日本語の会話能力を上げるかについて考えた。他人と日本語で話したら、緊張というか自信がないというか、言葉が出ない。これからもっと頻繁に練習したいと思ってる。
まず、大学の会話練習グループに参加することにした。来週月曜日から始める。でも、ちょっと心配なのは、そのグループのメンバーたちはみんな初心者だと思う。ということは、私と同じように、不自然な表現とか間違いだらけの発言をするはずだ。多分、最もためになるところはこのグループによって自信がつくことだと思う。
そのほか、彼女の家族と話す機会があったら、是非話したい。これで、特に「〜です・〜ます」系の使い方に焦点を当てようと思う。
最後に、いろんなアプリを使って、他人と話すことができる。アプリの１つはハロートークというアプリだ。このアプリでは、英語を勉強している人とつながって、会話を練習する。いいところは、無料でいつでも話せること。もう１つのアプリはItalkiだ。これを使ったら、費用がかかるけど100%日本語（英語なしで）話せて、自分の短所に集中して直してもらえる。なので、お金がかかっても、このアプリも使おうと思っている。
絶対にペラペラに話せるようになる。約束だよ。頑張る。

Mcat Exam
I occasionally talk to language exchange partners, who are native English speakers. One of them who is now studying to take the MCAT Exam is just graduated. He's said that he would take the Exam in September, but his preparation for the MCAT Exam was not so enough that he postponed until next year.
Actually, he skipped a year in his University, when he was third year, he could graduate this year, because his University's dean acknowledged his Advance Placements. There's a system of the APs in America for high schoolers. The high schooler can make the most of self-study to take University's Credits in high school such as AP history, AP Chemistry and AP Japanese, etc.
The high schoolers can take the APs'a exam as many as possible. Of course, you don't have to take any APs' Exam, if you like. The my partner's gotten 60 or 70 credits by APs' exam, so the total of APs' credits could fill the regulation in relation to the condition of graduation. Then, he could graduate from his University at 3rd year. He is now studying to get high score on the MCAT Exam next year.

¡Hoy es la noche de brujas!
Hoy es la noche de brujas, y aunque la pandemia ha devastado nuestro país, estamos intentado nuestro mejor para crear un ambiente salvo para todos. Primero, la mayoría de las personas ha creado un sistema a dispersar dulces a través de una mesa o un túnel, ambos sin contacto. Segundo, muchos niños no saldrán esta noche, y estos que sí llegarán máscaras con la ropa aterradora. Tercero, los gobiernos de muchas ciudades han dicho que quieren que la gente se quede en la casa.
Estoy nervioso, pero no estoy muy preocupado. Constantemente me pregunto -¿Qué debería hacer para que todos estén salvo?. No sé la repuesta. Me quede a casa esta noche y rezo que todos estén bien.

Flohmärkte
Ich war mehrmals auf verschiedene Flohmärkte. Ich denke, man auf einem Flohmarkt nützlich Sachen finden kann. Dort habe ich Weihnachtsgeschenke, schöne und modische Kleidungen und Spielezeuge für meine Cousins gekafut. Es ist billiger als ein Fachgeschäft oder ein Kaufhaus. Aber man muss darauf achten, dass die Sachen gut funktionieren. Man muss alle Dinge ausprobieren, vorher man die kauft. Erinnere, diese Sachen sind gebraucht!
