1er janvier
Aujourd'hui, c’est le premier jour de la nouvelle année, le 1er janvier. Hier, j’ai passé du temps avec mon petit ami. Il y avait une fête chez ma mère mais c'était annulée parce que beaucoup de gens dans ma famille étaient malades. Et aussi, il y avait beaucoup de neige, alors c'était dangereux de conduire. Mon petit ami et moi jouons à un jeu vidéo et nous nous sommes couchés vraiment tard. Maintenant, je me réveille mais il dort encore. Bonne année à tous !

正月
今年の正月私は出かけませんでした。大抵友達の家でディナーパーティーをしていました。又は、夜通しカラオケに行きましたが、そんな気になれません。今年は家にいて、スーパーで食べ物を買って家にいます。歩いて家からスーパーまでは約３０分にかかります。スーパーの近くに大きいな庭もありますから、そこでパートナーと一時間ぐらい色々な話題を話しました。正月の食事はパエリアでした。全然和食じゃなかったが、せめてシーフードでした。紅白も久しぶりを見ました。まーまーでした。１２時になった時は全然花火を聞こえなくて、ベランダからも見えませんでした。多分今年は花火はなかったと思います。残念でした。正月は静かでした.

Happy new year
Happy new year! How's your 2025? 2025 was not a great year for me. I went through so many hard times, emotional breakdowns, distress, and broke up. However, despite the down sides, it's also had some great memories. These up and downs made me became a stronger person, I'd learnt how to embrace myself, and cherish the loves around me. I hope 2026 can be a great year for both of you me!

New Year's Wishes and Resolutions
I found it enjoyable to create a video with an English dub every day. Yesterday, I made a video talking about my New Year's wishes: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BT5GbB2pEDg
I usually set New Year's Resolutions with breakdown plans before the Chinese New Year.
It's a good thing that there's a gap between the Gregorian calendar and the Chinese New Year. We can focus on the private New Year's resolution on the Chinese calendar, because it's always busy with business things before and after the Gregorian New Year.

仕事に早く行けなきゃいけなかった。かなり短い会議があったから。普段の仕事がその短い会議が終わった1時間の後に始まった。その間ギターを練習した。初心者だから位置感覚は弱くてよく間違った弦を弾く。でも焦らない。苦労することは学習の自然な部分だ。だからこそ、この挑戦に喜んで立向んだ。水曜日だから胸の筋トレをやった。とかに疲れている時に冷たくて美味しいプロテインシェイクはすっきりの感じをさせる。すき家で食べた。その後、少し昼寝をした。友達たちと年越しそばを食べた。一緒にザ・マインドというカードのゲームをやった。初めてだからそくざにルールを日本語で学ばなきゃいけなかった。ゲームは楽しかった。皆良かったそうだった。

The dark side of speaking a foreign language not as a hobby
Learning foreign languages is a very interesting thing.
But it is also a truth to say that there is a big diffference when you have to use it for your daily life (even when are not ready yet) and when you practice it as a hobby.
Here are some may be not so pleasant and widely discussed realities of speaking a foreign language for life reasons especially in another country :
- You might be perceived as less intelligent simply because you speak slowly or make mistakes. And other people show it clearly to you
- Some people may avoid conversations with you, because of impatience or discomfort .
- You often feel pressure to be extra polite, funny and charming just to gain acceptance and smooth interactions . But the more you try the worse it could be .
- Misunderstandings can lead to frustration or embarrassment.
- Expressing complex or emotional ideas clearly can be very challenging. And it could affects your personal and professional relationships. ( The corporate life at the office sometimes could be like a rugby football match)
Here should be a final encouraging phrase but frankly speaking I have no one ( please see my p.3 from the list )
It is what it is, there are always two sides for everything.
Have a good learning experience !

The 3rd simple text translation
What use is a worker who is not working?
This morning at our house should start working a new housemaid to help us with a home work.
Mamma's friends , who have already tried her service, all said thet she is brilliant.
The housemaid arrived late , about midday . Mom told her that there are many things expecting to be done so she immediately gets to work.
But she won't be doing ironing because , as she said , she feels not good and could not be standing for a long time.
Also she do not use a washing machine because does not know how it works.
And now , who is doing laundring? Mamma does it.
The cleaning lady also not uses a vacuum cleaner, a floor polisher, a blender, a meat grinder ? and a microwave. She is an old-fashioned woman, she doesn't like home appliances. When we started explaining her how to use them she answered that shoe understands properly nothing and she will be doing everything with her own hands. Also she does not wash the dishes because she is an allergic to dish gel as well.
She also can not use gloves because she is allergic to rubber. And who washes dishes? Correct, mamma does it.
The lady also does not clean the kitchen because she afraids of mice and rats.
She does not clean dust because she is allergic to dust.
She does not serve a table because she afraid to broke dishes.
She does not cook because she is on a diet.
She doesn't take out the garbage because shedoes not like the smell.
She doesn't water the plants because she has rheumatism.
And guess who does all these things? Mom does all of it.
But what is the cleaning lady doing?
Oh, she does a lot of things. She jokes cards with my grandfather and she smokes my father\s sigars.
She drinks a cognac from time to time , to cheer her up andd to have a good spirit .
Evening , when she has her job finished, father drives her home.
We are very happy that this lady has a very reasonable compensation- she tooks 50 euro per hour only.

Toplu taşıma
Üniversiteken bölgemin en büyük bir şehirde yaşıyordum, sık sık tramvaya veya otobüse biniyordum. Almanya'da da bir yıl yaşadım. Orada da düzenli olarak toplu taşımayı kullanıyordum. Fakat şimdi küçük bir şehirde (belki "büyük bir köyde" demeliyim). Burada birkaç otobüs/tren hatları ve demiryolu ağı var. Bu yüzden, en yakın şehre gitmek için bir arabayla gezmek çok daha kolay ve hızlı! Bugün 40 km uzaklıkta yaşayan kardeşime gittim; açıkçası arabasız oraya gidemezdim.
Genellikle kırsal alanlardaki toplu taşıma eksiktir ve durumun düzeldiğini görünmüyor. Hükûmetimiz her gün ekoloji hakkında konuşur ama küçük şehirler ve köyler arasındaki tren hatlarını bastırır, çünkü yeterince kazançlı olmamışlar... Çelişkili bir söylemdir!

Le Novel An
Chaque décembre 31, je reste éveillé et je regarde les feux d’artifice à minuit. En Australie, il y a le spectacle de feux d’artifice au sommet du pont du port de Sydney. Pour les heures avant les feux d’artifices il y a un spectacle avec des musiciens et des chansons australien. Si vous n'habitez pas à Sydney, c’est diffusé à la télévision. C’est aussi disponible en direct sur Internet. C’est très amusant. Mais c’est un peu déroutant si vous pensez aux fuseaux horaires. Sydney est 30 minutes d’avance d'Adélaïde, une heure d’avance de Brisbane, et une heure et demie d’avance de Darwin. Mais ces villes ont une longitude similaire. Alors quand est le vrai nouvel an ?

Day 24
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope you all had a memorable New Year's Eve.
2025 passed by so fast. I can still recall every detail of last New Year's Eve. To me, last year was fulfilling, and it was definietly better than the previous one.
2026 will be the most crucial year in my life so far. I'll work hard and do everything I need to do for a better life.
Let's do our best together this year!

Osechi (153)
We have traditional New Year's Food called "Osechi" in Japan.
I buy Osechi at a supermarket every year.
This year, I bought a three layer boxes of Osechi.
There were many kinds of dishes in each box, and each dish was put in a small container.
I loved some of them, but there were some I didn't enjoy.
Most of them are traditional old fashioned food that have been passed down for a long time, but some of them are really tasty.
Those New Year's Food are called Osechi.
I want to try to explain one of them in my next entry.

English Sprint Day 8 & Happy New Year!
Technically, today is New Year's Eve here, but since most of my family and friends still live in Asia, it feels like New Year's Day to me. I headed to the office at 5 a.m. and wrapped up my report from yesterday: The relationship between China, Japan, and Taiwan from a Korean perspective.
After I sent the report to my English tutor, I planned to study grammar. But there were many notifications on my phone, and I realized the New Year had already dawned in Korea and Japan. I replied to everyone's messages and exchanged well wishes. We shared standard greetings like "Happy New Year," but also chatted about random things like buying lottery tickets for the new year. One of my friends even video-called me. I left home to study, but the environment wasn't good for focusing on my studies. I just gave up and spent time catching up with my friends.
As the messages decreased around 2 or 3 a.m. at their time, I moved to a Starbucks because I was tired. I ordered a coffee and tried to resume studying. I reviewed my notes from yesterday and checked the causative verbs and prepositions I keep getting wrong. However, I was hard to focus, so I closed the book pretty quickly. Instead, I asked AI to give me some English quizzes, and I answered them. Since my husband finished his work at 1:30 p.m., I killed my time by adding vocabulary in my Anki app until then.
After he got off, we went grocery shopping (I could buy a 20kg--44lb-- bag of rice at a good price! Yay!) and took a nap. I was supposed to take a short nap, but I overslept and woke up past 6 p.m.
I called my mom and aunt before dinner and my in-laws after dinner to say Happy New Year. Since they are all getting old, we feel worried and sorry for living so far away. Fortunately, we have a chance to visit Korea next year, so we plan to catch up on everything then.

Schreibübung 3
Vorgestern haben wir ein Notfall in der Nähe von zu Hause. Es war ein schreckliche große Feuer. Ich habe gedacht, dass es hier entlang unsere Straße war, aber zum Glück nicht. Ich bin sehr nervös, wenn viele Feuerwehrauto angekommen sind. Sie waren vor unserem Haus. Die Rauch des Feuer war sehr besonders kräftig und wir können es riechen.
Gott sei Dank, dass es keine Toten gibt. Ich habe gehört, dass der Geund für das Feuer ein Feuerwerk war.
Meine Mutter und ich möchten ein paar Klamotten geben. Wir gehen später in unseren Nachbarn, sodass wir Klamotten bringen.

Ajedrez e idiomas: aprender de forma simultánea
El vídeo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jF0GF_lYlHo
Fue muy interesante ver un vídeo del partido del ajedrez entre Anna Cramling y Rey Enigma por la segunda vez este año. En mi opinión, es muy divertido para ver muchos vídeos en todos los idiomas que sabe como francés, alemán, español, inglés y noruego. Hay muchas oportunidades para aprender el ajedrez y los idiomas en el mismo tiempo. También, he utilizado el entrenador de chess.com para aprender algunas estrategias y técnicas más avanzadas para ganar más partidos en línea y en persona también.

Wage Slaves
Today is January 1st, the New Year. In the early morning, I came across several pictures of working overtime late at night on my former colleague's WeChat moments. People in the pictures were very exhausted. New Year's Eve was supposed to be for celebration in modern traditions, but they had to work overtime late at night just because of their high salaries. I was just the same once, lol.
I think working overtime too much is disruptive to our health, it may result in us ending up working to pay for hospital bills.

Macht Technologie Menschen wirklich glücklicher?
Ich glaube nicht, dass Technologie Menschen glücklicher macht. Trotzdem macht Technologie Menschen trauriger und einsamer, besonders mit sozialen Medien wie Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat und Bluesky. Wenn man vielen Posten auf Instagram ansehe, fühlt sie sich trauriger, da es vielen Bilder von aufregendsten Orten wie Frankreich, Estland, Kanada, und Italien gibt. Deshalb fühlt man sich traurig, weil sie kein traumhaftes Leben hat. Leider kann man nur die Highlights des Lebens von sozialen Medien.
Ebenso gibt es mehr Risiken, wenn man sozialen Medien benutzt, besonders mit Essstörung und Angststörungen. Vielen Personen auf Instagram haben die perfekt Körper und deswegen denkt man, dass sie plastische Chirurgie an ihrem Gesicht oder Körper müssen. Bedauerlicherweise hat Bella Hadid plastische Chirurgie an ihre Nase, wenn sie nur 14 Jahre alt war. Sie bedauert es. Außerdem glaube sie, sie könnte mit ihrer natürlichen Nase waschen können.
