Out of Sight. Out of Mind?
I wonder how often do we think about love one? Do we think about parents, friends, lovers or even pets everyday? Of course, sometimes it's easier to think about someone if they're right in front of your face.
but what about someone who already kick the bucket? What about someone who you can't even contact? What about someone who leave you behind? and finally what about someone who you're very close in the past but now, don't talk much as used to?
I have been face calling him everyday. Although some calls last only one minute because we just literally ask what did you eat for dinner and that's it but, in a weird way, that one minute have lifed my mood for a whole day. That said it isn't always smooth sailing. This is a time that I muted the notification and forgot to check Whatapp. But in the end, I fixed that issue and we continue this ritual.

Gerund or Infinitve
I recently watched a video on YouTube. It was an english grammar test. I never really think what is right when I speak english. I've been learning english for a very long time now so I am fluent which does not mean that my grammar is always correct. In the video I was confused when I had to choose between the gerund and the infinitive. There are cases when only one of them is working. But why? Couldn't I say: "... only one of them works"? What's the difference between: "My plants are growing" and "My plants grow"? Maybe it's just a formal thing which native speakers themselves don't do correct as well or forget?

Едем домой
Едем домой. Я за рулём, Бася рядом. Молчим, думаем. Я погладил жену по животу.
- "Будет жалко, когда он исчезнет. Я привык к нему."
- "Ты такой умный. Сам бы попробовал его так долго носить. Это тяжело."
Мы только что выехали с парковки магазина. Фонари освещают дорогу. Сегодня пятница, уже вечер. Бася купила фрукты и мороженое. Я положил в корзину бутылку праздничного пива и норвежский коричневый сыр.
- "В конце концов, мы в Норвегии - подумал я."
Едем дальше.
- "Я начну писать книгу, - сказал я."
- "Да, давай. Как она будет называться?"
- "Название не имеет значения. Самое важное - содержание. Конечно, я буду писать по-русски. По-польски мне бы не хотелось"
Бася съела банан. Видно, не знает что сделать с кожурой. Кладет её мне на плечо и смеётся.
- "Выброси её в окно - говорю. Она так и делает."
- "Выброси ещё эту лушпайку из кофейной чашки, - добавляю."
- "Чёрт! Половину вернул ветер обратно в машину."
Через несколько минут я снова произнёс:
- "Я буду главным героем."
Приехали, идём домой. Как обычно, Бася поднимает самый тяжелый пакет с покупками и сразу говорит:
- "Ты мог бы это забрать у меня!"
Вошли в дом. Посреди прихожей сидит кот и лениво смотрит на меня.
- "Наверное, снова нагадил! Выкинь его на улицу, мерзавца этакого. Пусть погуляет, а то всё время только спит."
Я ничего не чувствую, вроде не воняет. Беру кота на руки.
- "Иди сюда, Румпусек, миленький."
Я взъерошил кота и он начал мурлыкать.
На следующий день живот у Баси исчез. В этот мир пришёл Франек.

The Osaka Expo No.4
The Lithuanian booth was really interesting. Many medicinal herbs were on display. It seems that nowadays they are applied in drug development by pharmaceutical companies.
When I think about how, in the Middle Ages, women who used herbs to cure illnesses were treated as witches, I wonder what the Christian Church was really there for.

Une argumentation : Une sieste pendant la pause déjeuner ?
Bonjour à tous et à toutes,
cela fait longtemps que j'ai écrit un texte pour langcorrect même si c'est un de mes sites web préférés.
Mais maintenant cela va recommencer à augmenter parce que dans deux mois je vais passer mon DELF B2 (pour lequel je ne suis pas de tout prête).
Aujourd'hui, j'amerais commencer avec une petite argumentation sur un suject simple :
Une sieste pendant la pause déjeuner aide-t-elle vraiment à d'être plus productive ?
Dans les autres pays comme le japons ou l'espagne la sieste fait déjà partie dans la vie quotiedienne. Soit parce que cela devrait aider à être encore plus productive, soit parce que il est trop chaud pour travailler le midi.
Je prensenterai vous un avantage et un inconvénient de ce sujet :
Ce qui plaide en faveur est qu'ils existes déjà plusieurs travaux de recherche de l'influence positive de la sieste.
Une sieste de 10 à 20 minutes et déjà suffisante pour se sentir rafraîchi. Mais attention ! Si le sommeil dûre trop long l'effect et l'opposite. On se sent fatigué. En résumé, une sieste bien fait pouvait vraiment augmenter la productivitée et la motivation des employé.es.
De l'autre côté, les pauses déjeuner dûrent souvent que trentes minutes. Alors c'est assez difficile pour les employés de manger, aller dans la sale de bain, envoyer une petite message à leurs amis ou à la famille et de dormir - tous en 30 minutes. Si les patrons voient vraiment les avantages de la sieste je propose qu'ils prolongent la pause. Toutefois il faut s'attendre à ce que le temps de travail s'allonge également.
Globalement, je trouve que la siest est une bonne idée, mais la réalisation serait plutôt difficile.

Diz o roto ao nu
Encontrei num website 55 expressões que se são crendo a ser usadas no dia a dia dos portugueses. Não sei se seja a verdade. Não tenho a certeza de como usar algumas delas na conversa. Vou inventar as situações com essas expressões, uma a uma, para provar se as compreendo corretamente.
2. Uma conversa do casal
- Estou farta do caos em casa. Estás sempre a deixar as tuas coisas por todos os lados.
- Diz o roto ao nu. Os teus cosméticos e joias estão até ma minha gaveta no armário.

Catching Hares
In autumn, when I was a child living in a village, one interesting thing for children was to watch adults catching wild hares.
People in my village grew cotton every year for their clothes and shoes. The cotton straw was strong and dense, so it became a good place for hares to hide in.
Before the cotton straw was pulled out, people started to catch hares. Their net was rectangular in shape, a long side of which was long enough to block one side of a cotton field, and the short side of the net was about 70 centimeters.
They used some wooden sticks to stand the short side of the net vertically along one side of a cotton field. Then they held wooden sticks to beat the cotton straw from the other three sides and moved towards the net.
Thus, hares in the cotton field could only run to the side with the net, and when they ran into the net, they would be trapped.
At the spot of catching hares, there were also many dogs. When they saw hares running out of the field, the dogs were very excited and ran after the hares.
We, the children in the village, did not have any toys and our life was often boring. So watching adults catch hares was our entertainment.

La vuelta al trabajo
Durante todo el mes de agosto, fui de vacaciones en el sur de Francia con mis amigos y mi familia. Al principio del mes, fui en el país vasco para ver mi padre y mi hermana y hemos hecho actividades disfrutando del sol y de la calor. Despues, volví a París para trabajar una semana. Finalmente, tomé el tren hasta Toulon, donde mis amigos y yo hemos reservado una casa con piscina cerca de la playa, une lugar perfecto para descansar y disfrutar de las vacaciones.
Pero, todas las cosas tienen un fin, volví de nuevo a París hasta una semana. Hace frio y lluvie tambíen, eso no es muy motivador para volver a trabajo.

Martedì 16 settembre
È una giornata come le altre, però sono un po' pensierosa. Spero di riuscire anche oggi a dare il meglio di me.
Mi sento a mio agio al lavoro quando inizio a padroneggiare le mansioni e sono sicura che, entro la fine dell'anno, mi sentirò più tranquilla.
Pur non avendo fatto colazione, non ho fame; mangerò comunque qualcosa di leggero per avere più energie.

A Tractor-Ploughing Practicum
In the second year of my technical secondary school, my classmates and I participated in a tractor-ploughing practicum at a state-owned farm about 120 kilometers from our school.
We traveled to the farm by a large bus on October 1st. The farm was vast; standing in its center, we couldn’t see any villages nearby.
Within the farm, there was a residential area for farm employees, resembling a small village with various buildings.
We stayed in a large single-story dormitory with bunk beds.
Our task was to learn how to drive tractors and plough the farmland under the guidance of a qualified driver. The practicum lasted one month.
The training was divided into two shifts: day and night. We operated Dongfanghong 75 chain tractors, which were among the most powerful tractors at the time.
During the night shift, ploughing the farmland felt unique. The tractor’s lights seemed brighter in the darkness, and the fields were so vast that it took a long time to travel from one end to the other. This meant fewer operations were required.
The tractor’s clutch was very stiff and required significant strength to operate. One female student, weighing only about 45 kilograms, couldn’t press the clutch even when standing on it, so she was unable to participate in the practicum.
We had a break at midnight, during which we were treated to a bowl of mutton soup, which was the most delicious mutton soup I’ve ever tasted.
In the early morning, the morning glories on the fences of the farm workers’ houses bloomed beautifully, adorned with dew on their petals. This was, in my opinion, the most beautiful scenery on the farm.
At the end of October, we completed the practicum and returned to our school. I haven’t visited the farm since, but I’m very curious to know what it’s like now.

UDEMY Learning goals today
Today I've begun a course about learning python programming by doing fifty projects. The first section took me about one and a half hour to complete and was about introduction to programming, guidelines, environment configuration and simple "hello world" program. I've a decent background in programming speccially C#, so I think that I will not have any problems understanding the sintax, but I will try to do my best effort with the assigments and understand the theory because is not the first time that I try to follow a python course.

Un día de descubrimientos en Cornell Tech
Hoy decidí conocer a algunas nuevas personas en el café de Bloomberg en Cornell Tech para ir a Roosevelt Island y tomar algunas fotos con mi teléfono. Personalmente, fue muy divertido, especialmente cuando hablé con el anfitrión, Eric Chan, porque publica mucho en LinkedIn sobre los eventos solo para antiguos alumnos de Cornell. También aprendí mucho sobre algunas startups fundadas por antiguos alumnos de Cornell. Por ejemplo, aprendí sobre una startup, Krea, que utiliza IA generativa para crear fotos, vídeos, objetos 3D y transferencia de movimiento. Pienso usar Krea para crear una foto, probablemente una foto de Chicago o San Francisco porque nunca he visto estas ciudades. Aunque no he visto Chicago, podría visitarla con un amigo que viva allí. Él podría llevarme a algunos restaurantes y probar la pizza de Chicago. En mi opinión, me encanta la pizza en New Haven, especialmente la pizza de Frank Pepe, pero también me gusta la pizza de Nueva York.

新学期の初日 (今週の話)
(I tried to make it sound like an elementary kid wrote it)
Lots of things happened today! I was so excited because it was the first day of school! I woke up early, ate breakfast, put on my uniform. I left the house at 8:30am and headed to school. There was surprisingly a lot of people. The gym got hot so they opened all the windows. The teachers introduced themselves one by one. I think all the teachers were nice. I met up with my friend and told him "You're short as always" and he really got mad at me.
After school, I went to the store and bought cheap tea. When I got home my mom told me "Close the door properly!". Then she told me "Eat your dinner, if you leave any it'll be a problem". Recently, Ive been sleeping as soon as I eat my dinner. My mom knows this, so she tells me "Hurry and eat!" as soon as I come home. I guess me being asleep is easier for her.

Un breve saggio sulla lingua giapponese (3/12)
L'hiragana si usa per le parole dell'origine giapponese.
Il katakana si usa per le parole di origine straniera.
Questa regola non è 100 per cento, ma generalmente sì. Non è troppo difficili da imparare l'hiragana e il katakana. I caratteri sono molto coerenti e solo una lettera può essere letta in due modi. "は" è "ha" o "wa" a seconda del contesto. In teoria i giapponesi possono scrivere tutto usando solo questi due alfabeti. I libri per bambini sono spesso scritti in questo modo.
Però ...
In addizione dell'hiragana e del katakana la lingua giapponese usa una forma adattata di caratteri cinesi,
chiama "kanji" o "caratteri cinesi." Non sono esattamente gli stessi caratteri usati nei paesi cinesi (Cina, Taiwan, Hong Kong ecc.), ma sono simili. I cinesi possono spesso capirli anche se non parlano giapponese.
I kanji sono difficili ...

ein bisschen mehr über Fast Fashion
Um noch ein wenig mit dem Thema von gestern fortzufahren: Fast Fashion.
Ich habe gestern schon erwähnt, dass diese Produkte aufgrund ihrer Qualität schnell im Müll landen.Ein weiteres Problem ist, dass die Herstellung dieser Klamotten riesiger Ressourcen verbraucht. Dabei wird auch viele Chemikalien verwendet, die in Grundwasser landet werden und folglich in Wasserverschmutzung. Zulässt entsteht dabei eine schlechte Arbeitsbeziehung, trotzdem laut es, dass bei den High-End-Marke die Arbeitsbeziehung die Situation ist nicht anders. Es besteht trotzdem eine andere Möglichkeit. Welche? Morgen werde ich darüber schreiben. 😊

Social media is declining our intelligence and critical thinking abilities?
Lately, I have been watching different videos and listening podcasts that talk about this. Social media is a huge community to learn (like this website) and share a lot information per second with the whole world, and at the same time those are the main problems. We do not have patience anymore, we want everything reduced in a 30 sec tik tok video.
We are no longer interested in youtube videos or quiet movies because we are not able to pay attention more than one minute without scrolling through our fyp. Also, maybe is something that just happens to me, but i can not read consciously like before. I try to read 30 pages, but it is difficult to understand all the letters and words, my brain just turns off during the process.
Going more deeply, human beings are losing their ability to love and understand each other. Nowadays, we live in a violent world where everyone is facing their own problems and does not have time to be empathetic or to worry about others. We want all, but now, not later. Quickly.
We do not want to fight or try anymore, if something does not happen like we planned it just not worthy of our attention.

Jag äter för mycket
Jag är på universitetet nu alltså behöver jag göra min egna mat. Det är inte så svårt men jag kan inte laga mat. Förut gjorde min familj alla att laga mat och jag åt bara det. Jag äter för mycket nu - särskilt ohälsa mat. Jag äter för mycket Pringles och brownies. Jag behöver äter mindre mat och den rätt mat.
Jag förstår mer svenska åtminstone. Jag tror att det är så i alla fall. Jag tittar på mycket svenska serie och YouTube och jag tror att jag förbättra mig varje dag. Men universitetet är svårt - jag använder vanligtvis svenska att klara. Det finns så många folk och jag känner inte mig någon alls. Jag gör en kurs på musik men jag är inte taggad om musik längre. Jag vet inte varför men det är inte så kult som innan. Kanske gjorde jag för mycket musik undrar sommaren. Jag vet inte. Jag borde fortsätta att göra musik dock eftersom min pappa vill mej att göra musik och han tänker att jag är duktig på det. Jag vet inte. Jag brukade att vilja att vara som Taylor Swift men jag är inte så taggad längre. Jag brukade att skriva många låtar men jag gör inte nu. Jag vet inte. Tack för att du läste.
