Have you ever traveled abroad?

I went to Belgium when I was in university. My cousin’s family lived there at that time and I stayed at their home for a week. We spent five days in Brussels and two days in Amsterdam,Netherlands. This experiences would be the trigger I started to study English seriously.

Anki-Karteikarten

Seit 342 Tagen wiederhole ich täglich meine Anki-Karteikarten. Ich setze mich für die Anki-Nutzung für alle Lernende ein! Im Laufe der Zeit habe ich erfahren, wie man eine Karte auf die richtige Weise gestallten kann. Es hat mir Türen zu einer neuen Art vom Lernen geöffnet. Zuerst benutzte ich Anki ausschließlich fürs Englischlernen, aber über die Zeit hinweg habe ich andere Decks für manche Wissenschaften und fürs Deutschlernen erstellt. Wenn ich während des Lesens auf ein neues englisches Wort stöße, das ich im Langzeitgedächtnis sparen möchte, füge ich dieses Wort zu einer speziellen Liste auf meinem E-Reader hinzu. Gelegentlich übertrage ich diese Liste in meinen PC, damit ich Karteikarten erstellen kann. Zum letzten mal hat sich mehr als 200 Wörter angesammelt, und gehe allmählich durch. Obwohl diese Wörter meistens entweder zu formell oder zu archaisch dafür sind, sie in einem echten Gespräch zu benutzen, eigne ich sie mir dennoch an, weil ich halt sehr gerne lese.

Daily Life: Part 9

OMG! Recently, the weather has been becoming more scorching! Never had I seen! Do you have any tips for cooling the body? Basically, I stay in the inside room with air conditioning. I have a lot of sweat, which makes me feel my skin sticky. I cannot endure it happening. Alright, I want to avoid this topic, because I just feel uncomfortable! Let us bring another interesting thing into this diary. Yesterday, I drove my electric bike to the basketball court. Suddenly, I felt some liquid hit my arm, and I just called out "shit" spontaneously! So I looked at my arm, and I realized it's a real bird dung! crap! Can you imagine how stinky it is? But, in China, if someone had been hit by bird dung, it means you are lucky! Why could I have forgotten buying a lottery ticket yesterday? Now, I feel I lost one million RMB. Crying...

Giovedì 21 agosto

Sono ansiosa di sapere se continuerò ad avere questo posto di lavoro. Ho fatto gli ultimi test questa settimana e non ne so ancora niente.

Spero di saperlo oggi, perché non ne posso più. Ho già visto com’è la mole di lavoro ed è più che accettabile.

Dear Jo,

I went to a new restaurant last weekend. The restaurant is clear. Waiters are excellent and friendly universally. The decoration in the restaurant is so royal. I went to the restaurant with family. Then, food was put up. The food is very delicious. I felt it was an experience. I hope I will email you.

Barley Tea 麦茶

In summer, I usually go for barley tea. In contrast, during the winter and spring seasons, I naturally gravitated toward green tea. The roasted aroma of barley tea gives off real summery vibes and feels so refreshing. Green tea tastes best when freshly brewed, but its flavor and color fade quickly. On the other hand, barley tea stays tasty even after several hours, so I brew a big pot in the morning and enjoy it throughout the day. Another thing I like about barley tea is that it’s caffeine-free, so I can even drink it before going to bed. On a hot day, nothing feels more like summer than coming home and drinking a glass of barley tea packed with ice.

帰る理由

その夕暮れ、第四の船は濃緑の霧に出航し、砕氷さながら澄んだ空気の航跡を残した。
かの船はまさに人間界の代表である。
魂揺さぶる汽笛の咆哮は吶喊そのものであり、故郷への声援だ。

残した横穴は二分も持たず霧が殺到して、船を埋めるように見るものの視界から隠した。
第一、第二、第三の船はどうなったか誰も知らない。知る由もない。霧に吸い込まれてからもしかしたら向こう側についた。あるいは跡形もなく喰い貪られた。
「さあ、帰りましょう」
若妻と思しき女性が子供の手を引いて去っていった。もう留まる理由はないという事だろう。
立ち去る足音と共に異変が生じた。

船の汽笛だ。

based on these words

Bored, Adventure, Agreement, Awareness, Contemplate.
These words look like a summary of my life :) I'm so bored with everything, and it continuing like this every single day. I'm looking for an adventure whenever I go outside and it costs a bit more time. When I feel like I'm about the having fun, my day ends before I even realize it. Also, this limited time makes me make mistakes constantly. If I didn't have an agreement with my mom about the amount of going outside each week, I wouldn't return back home at the end of the days. I have contemplated to find a way to run away from my family, living alone in a new life, a new city, or maybe a new country. But as you can see, I couldn't. I can't even create an awareness in their minds about my stuck soul. I'm not a teenager, I'm just a person who is dependent on her family in every way.

返事ボタンを押すには

ほんの一本のメッセージで嫌われたり、憎まれたりするはずがないと頭の中で分かっているのに、なぜか返事が怖くてしょうがない。一分以内で返せる内容なのに先延ばして、不安に襲われて、ほかの作業もなかなか手をつかなくなる。それで「自分がダメ」、「自分が悪い」と感じてしまって、情けない自分を責めてしまう。こういうのを何回も繰り返したら最後、自己嫌悪に陥ってしまう。

The Philippines and Pilipinos

I used to learn English in a Filipino online school for a while, which was the first time I had had one - on - one online classes.

At that time, I learned a lot about the Philippines and Filipinos, such as the fact that the Philippines is an island country consisting of many big or small islands. It's a tropical country near the equator. The Filipinos are very friendly and something like that.

After my teachers told me where they lived, I was very interested in searching for those places. By doing so, I got to know the shape of the Philippines on the map.

I often wonder how people can travel in their country. By boat? That would be too slow. By bus? All the islands are separated by the sea. If they take flights, how many airports should they construct?

Transport in the Philippines will be a very interesting issue to study.
Every time I see the islands scattered in the sea, I guess it would be an amazing feeling if I were on one of those islands in person.

End of War Day

This month, we had End of War Day. I always watch the news about the Hiroshima and Nagasaki Peace Ceremonies every year.

Suddenly, I realized that one of my co-workers is from Hiroshima. I asked her, “Did your family have any victims of the atomic bomb?” She said, “Oh,yes. my great-grandfather just melted and disappear.. He went to the city for business alone, and on that day, he never came back. No one knows his story.” Since then, he has been missing.

I was really shocked.
I have never had a friend from Hiroshima before, and even though I am Japanese, Every year I watch the news. but I had never felt the horrible accident so close to me until now. And there were countless citizens like that. It was truly miserable and inhuman.

Liquorice All Sorts (136)

My friend gave me British candies called Liquorice All Sorts.

There were various kinds of chewy candies in a package(bag?)

One of them, a sweet and brown one was tasty. It tasted like brown sugar.

I tried all kinds, and when I tried a black one, I found it very interesting.

It was okay, but wasn't really tasty. Only one try was enough for me.

There were round ones with tiny blue beads-like things stick around.

They were also interesting.

However, most of them were tasty other than the two kinds.

Trying new food is always fun for me.

used these words

Wooden, Adequate, Analysis, Ballot, Between
I'm going to die on this wooden table. I ate too much, and I still can't stand up. It can be adequate to feed a poor family that the things I have eaten so far. First of all, I need to melt down what I ate. After that, I should think carefully and make an analysis about the ballot. There are two hours left for giving my vote. But also, I haven't made a decision between options yet.

Workout Morning Routines

As an early bird, the best moment to do difficult/demanding stuff, like deep studying or doing exercises, is early in the morning. It's working for me, at least for now.
Working out the body is crucial to maintain it and to ensure a good sleep. I'm not interested on being in-shape or having an athletic performance. I'm happy doing stretching session in the morning, it's a way to start a new day properly.
My routines are not longer complicated since the only thing I have to do is to follow a video instruction on YouTube, I don't have to plan anything by my own or take decisions. There a videos for warming up, "core" workout session (chest, back, abs, legs), flexibility, etc.
My morning routines start at 6AM, have a average duration of 30 minutes and I perform them at least 5 days of the week.
This little habit just brings me results like any other thing I ever tried, they are doing so now and will probably continue to do so in the long term.

昨日の夢

昨日はクラッカーの夢を見ました。 クラッカーは何年も前にペットとして飼っていた優しいバフ・オーピントン鶏です。現実ではヒナの頃から育て、やがて母の知人の知人の家に譲り渡しました。そこにはペットの鶏の群れがいて、広い庭があり、彼女がもっと幸せに暮らせると思ったからです。

夢の中では、私は彼女を野生に任せて見捨ててしまっていました。もう三年も経っていました。外に座ってる彼女を見つけた瞬間、すぐに彼女だと気付きました。痩せて、足元には血がポタポタ落ちていました。逃げられないように素早く抱き上げ、家の中に連れて帰りました。彼女にあげるおやつを探して冷蔵庫の中を見ました。クラッカーはケール、トマト、ブルーベリーなどの果菜類を食べて嬉しそうでした。現実ではブルーベリーと蝸牛が好きでした。彼女がよく食べて健康を取り戻してほしいと願いました。そして、もう危険な外で暮らすことのないよう、良い家に届けたいと思いました。

時折、こういう夢を見ます。クラッカーが私の家の隣で野生を歩く姿を見かけるのです。時には元気そうで他の鳥たちと過ごし、時には弱って、飢えていることもあります。 現実の世界では、彼女は今どんな日々を過ごしているのでしょうか…

tried to use these words in sentences

Blue, Between, Annoyed, Amusing, Bizarre.
Everyone chooses between these two colours mostly according to matching with their genders: blue and pink. If a guy chooses the pink from those, people won't look this situation in a good way. They will think about his sexual orientation directly and there will be two options; he's gay or he's about to being gay. On the other hand, a girl can choose the blue comfortably. It means she's masculine or she is a hopeful person. It's not equal, is it? I hate being sexist, it makes me annoyed. Colour is just a colour, there is nothing more than that. Also, I believe the power of colours. They are certainly meaningful. If everyone wears colourful clothes instead of only black and whites, they will have more amusing life for sure. Their clothes' colours will affect their energy. I will keep thinking like that even if my opinion sounds bizarre..

Grandpa Is an Old Man

As far as I can remember, grandpa had been an old man.

He was so old, as if never had been young.

He was so old, as if was born to be my grandpa.

Although I never contemplated that he would die eventually.

I always thought: one could alway linger one year more, despite their oldness.

Yet he died anyway.

As mud walls:

with enough storms, the demise is guaranteed.

Gone.

Finished.

I know few about his past life.

He mentioned some; I forgot most.

Just like he loves me much,

I call him 'Grandpa' in return.

Summary Week

The cat has a fish in its mouth.
Oh what is in your ear.
They're sitting under a tree in the garden.
She's putting the food in the refrigerator;
Light yellow paint.
A dark, cloudy day.
Miguel smiles at Zari. He leaves.
Don't worry.
They look for the diary in the hall.

料理

先週は病気の結果、めったに料理しませんでした。テイクアウトや中食事はほとんど食べていました。ちょっと直したから、料理はまだしないといけません。まずに、食料品を買わなければいけません。明日は多いの野菜や肉を買います。ボロネーゼを作ろうと思います。
