I just moved in a new apartment yesterday, and I had a casual conversation with my neighbor. When I told him that I'm originally from Japan, he was like "Hey, I can speak some Japanese. あにょはせよー"
Is Spanish popular among Japanese? It used to be that the Japanese businessmen that get to sent to the U.S. struggled with English. Today, they need to know some Spanish, too.
Mixed? Doesn't matter. I went to a public high school in California. Then went to an out of state college. It was spooky at first, being surrounded by bunch of pale faces.
i think some japanese living in the US know some Spanish phrases and use sometimes when they are needed. sadly, in japan, japanese people rarely see Spanish words in everyday life. i was once seeing some Spanish-Japanese girl in highschool, and i learned some. but ordinary japanese dont know anything about Spanish.
>>45 Thanks for the info. That's too bad, because there are so much Spanish speaking people in the world and it's fairly easy to learn to speak for Japanese. A lot easier than Chinese, I'm sure.
>>47 It was just weird not seeing darker skin, eyes, hair, the whole thing. Maybe I should have used "spooky"...it gave me a strange feeling, though. It's not a good/bad thing.
It's just that suddenly, You were just there with a bunch of strangers who you couldn't relate to yourself at all. I mean, I gotta tell you, that must have been "spooky" or just way too weird.
The guy told me that the new cable guy would come between 12 to 4. I wanted to go to have a lunch but I was wating for him to hook up my internet cable. Yean, The guy came. He came on 5 pm and told me it was overwork that it was too late that he had to run around the whole complex to check cables to to find out a walldrop. New guy gave up to put me into the online this time. He'll be back and try to find the walldrop on Fri again. I had expected so much to get a faster connection, so I was disapointed a lot.
By the way, the time when I get the cable connection, I can't write in 2ch anymore. I still wonder if it's good to have the cable or stay with dialup.
oh~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I understand that my camerado. I did that many times in my life...... Anyway I'm here writing English so I'm doin Ok in my life. So you will be alright.
By the way, what was the subject of the exam? I'm just curious.
It was expectedly a beautiful boring day as usual. Waking up 6am, having some smoke, watching some videos, then I went to bed again in 9 o'clock in the morning. After the nap, I usually wake up around 4pm and getting online til tired. It's been a month I live like this since my vacation started. I need somthing to change this no good life, otherwise I'm gonna die for killing my time.
this summer,i'm into colorcontacts. gray makes me mysterious, exotic turquoise on my tanned face, and i am sexual with green! these new tec colors are blended into three gradation colors that look more natural than what's out of date. i just wanna recommend this kind you all!
Yesterday was the day of my birthday. Many friends send me E-mail and observed me. In the evening, I met my boyfriend. He reservated a restaurant and gave me a nice present. I was so happy. I had a very good time and yesterday is a special day for me. I won't forget this my birthday. Plaese correct my writing.
Today was the day as usual during summer vacation. I got up at noon and took a shower. After that, I cleaned up my room and washed my clothes. I finished these job,so I was relaxed at my home . I didn't feel going out because it was so hot. I went out for my part-time job at 7 o'clock. Today was not busy, so I talked with my cooperate all the time. I have to get up early tomorrow. Good night! Plaese correct my writing.
It was like 3 years ago when I went to some American restaurant with my friends for the first time. Back then, I didn't speak English fluently, and it was also really hard for me to make out what was said in English.
As soon as we got seated, a waiter guy came serve us. I forgot what I ordered exactly, but anyway, it came with either a soup or salad. So, the waiter asked me, "would you like a soup or salad?" It sounded like "a super salad" in my head, and I was all like, "Sure, I will take that." The waiter got back to me with "What? A soup or salad?" I answered, "Yeah, give me that salad!"
Then, when he brought a regular salad and put it on the table, I was so disappointed. "What is super about this salad. It ain't special. It is no different from regular ones....."
Today was a very hard day. I went to university though summer vacation. The reason why I had to do so is that I had to attend some meeting. After that, I went to shopping. I bought a lot of goods for traveling. I walked so long and was so tired. My sandal have raised blisters on my feet,so I am suffering the pain. I knew the word "blister"today. My foot is shotted!! Please correct my writing.
I'm TAKASHI born in the space of the trigonometric function.
It was already 8pm when I woke up. I wasted my day again like most 2 chnnelers do. With a little bit remorse, I'm playing around 2ch like my duty. what a dude, i am.
My friends and I went to see the movie "28 days later" today. It sucked. I didn't understand the movies thesis. Actually, the concept which a virus infect people to change zombie was scared, and first part of the movie which scientist do research a virus in monkey's blood in a laboratory was good scene. but suddenly time past 28days and nothing explain was confusing me. anyway, I realized my English skill is not enough to see the movie. I need to study hard.
And it came to pass that after they had spoken these words the Spirit of the Lord came upon them, and they were filled with joy, having received a remission of their sins, and having peace of conscience, because of the exceeding faith which they had in Jesus Christ who should come, according to the words which king Benjamin had spoken unto them.
i have been takin tannin for all season. and of course summer is especial to spread chocolate fudge sauce around my body ! last afternoon it was sizzlin tannin day!i took tannin at least 1hour for each side. now i lost my nationality, very comfortable. UV harm? so what! (^Q^)
this summer im on vacation now, and i have nothing to do, so i stay at home, never go out,and read books all day. now im reading a stephen king novel, which is a very thick book, and i dont think i can read through from beginning to end. but im trying, somehow. it took me six days to read half of it. gee.....(lol
i wake up this morning and find that im very horny and feel like it. i feel moist between my legs, so i touch my pussy gently with my ring finger and see that i want to do it. my pussy is so wet that a lot of juice comes flowing out of it. it is as if its wanting a cock that is hard, big, solid and throbbing. so i put out a dildo from my bag and begin to insert it into my vagina. (to be continued)
i decided my hair extreme two-blocked wolf style in this summer. the details is, slightly long hairline at the back of the neck,and closely cropped around the ears. i will go to my intimate barbar tomorrow. after having my hair cut, i'm gonna dye my hair to dark natural blonde by my self. it's not easy for asian boys like me to go blonde. extreme bleaching twice, and taking blonding color. it's named "double process" . proud of my dying teqnique now, i'll manage to do it in successful. :)
the typhoon hit japan today. i have to stay inside and have nothing to do at all, so i decided to masturbate. first, i went to a website which offered tons of pics of playboy magazine. i visit here too often these days, so i was a little fed up with blond girls. so i decided to go to a japanese ko-gal website. it has a lot of schoolgirls pics, and i got excited instantly cuz they seemed kind of new to me. so i jerked off with a pic of a girl in a schoolwear with her legs wide open. it reminded me of some girls i met on a subway line. it tasted very good. yum, yum.
First,I was glad that I met you lastweek.but Unfortunately, I couldn't give you birthday present. Can you come to my house next week? If you have enough time . Kate(my wife) want to cook some French for you ,and I will give you birthday present again. Our familly will welcome you .The day we will open your party wanna be ultimate day for you .
i am alome in my home today. prepared meals three times (soup&noodles,pasta,fried chiken), burned trashes off in the garden. only my dog left here,she is my companion especially today. and fixin' her shit is only my anxious.... can you put off your shittin for tomorrow,NANA?
well I'm ok...so let me give you all the update as to what I was doing...when the power went off...I was driving in Brooklyn...on a tall bridge...with my mother, sister and brother... we were listening to the radio in the heavy traffic...when the radio stopped...and I went to find new one..but it didn't find one on the FM station...it found one in Philidelphia which is far away... by car it's 2.5 hours from New York City.Then I got off the highway and took local streets to get home..but all the street lights were off...and NYC has many..so it was very scarey to drive on the local streets...in 10 minutes there was soooooo much traffic...it took an extra 45 minutes to get home...normally it's just 10 minutes to drive. Then when it got dark. It got more scary....but the people were very good..they tried to direct the traffic. At night people were walking in the streets at it was black...completely dark...they were walking with candles and flash lights. But at 8am..the power in my area came back on...so that was good
Even on vacation I have so many things on my plate which i can`t seem to get through with.......NO FREE TIME! EAT,STUDY,SLEEP! That`s all what I`ve been doing for the past week. I`ve been REALLY fed up with this school I go to.And this is one of the worst things that`s ever happened to me.....my girlfriend..she dumped me! cuz I .....
I finally met my perfect girl! She is a real cutie with a great body and shiny blond hair.
There's one thing I don't like about her, though. She is sometimes too clingy to me. She always tries to get ahold of me and never let me go... I mean, I got my own things to do, too, you know.
I WAS EVACUATED FROM KOREAN-JAPANESE COUPLE WEBSITE ON FRIDAY.
WHAT DID I DO WRONG.
I ASKED THE MANEGER "WHY DO YOU ERASE MY COMMENTS ?"
THE MANAGER DIDN'T SAY NOTHING BUT JUST CLOSED THE BBS.
I JUST SIMPLY ADVISE TO THE COUPLE WHO HAS SOME TROUBLE, "DON'T RUSH. THINK WELL STUDY WELL ABOUT HISTORY BETWEEN KOREA AND JAPAN. BECAUSE KOREAN IS A ANTI-JAPANESE SENTIMENT PEOPLE.
>>136 Don't say such a sad thing, the poem of your bottom of your heart makes me cry. i don't know your nationality, your age, your name. but your poem impressed me so much. and i want give you my heart of a piece. killin oneself is one's freedom.i think so. until then, let's have some kinda hope like we used to have when we're mere a child, toward our future we can customize. we're all alone, and we're all.
I'm sick in bed today. I'm planning to walk our dog, take care of our roses and then go to school to take the exam tomorrow but I don't think I'm prepared for it. I may have to go to school earlier to study for it.
I'm so drunk. I'm drunk enough to see such an american petoriotic movie named we were soldiers. This movie is a real shit that I can't see without a glass of beer. Maybe lots of american young people are deceived by those movies or deceiving themselves by seeing those movies, and going to the war. It's so sad. We need to depend on some historical ideologies or something to make the current situation look real enough to justify ourselves who can do nothing for kids whose parents were killed in the war. It's so sad.
>>135 You made the one big mistake. This stupid clause, right here "BECAUSE KOREAN IS A ANTI-JAPANESE SENTIMENT PEOPLE. "
What's wrong with you?? You think evey korean is anti-Japanese? No. That's completely untrue. You are just too stereotypic. How do you feel when some Americans say things like, "Japanese girls are sluts" or "Japanese guys are nerds"? You will probably be upset and go, "No. I'm not."
You just can't overgeneralize people like that, you know what I'm saying?
Which medium do you listen to music with, CD or LP? I prefer to CD rather than LP. Of course, CD is very convenient to listen to music. In the case of company that make medium, the cost of making CD is cheaper than LP. But I think that LP has also worth for manias who like to listen to music. They have a wide variety of jacket. It depends on the size of jacket, I guess. They also make better sound than CD, especially in old LPs. Of course, these LPs are only with good condition. So, some old LPs with good condition cost very expensive. In Japan, they sometimes cost over 30,000 yen, In America, over 100 us dollars. Some people have no idea why some old LPs make better sound than CD. The sound depends on the master tape. In 1950s, the LPs are made of worse material. But it’s the same situation in the master tape. In addition, they have less careful to save them in warehouse than the current saving. So, they sometimes can’t remake some master tapes to sell as CD. For example, Tchaikovsky set, which are conducted by Karajan and recorded in 1970s by EMI, has made many people impressed in the world. Some critics praise the set. By their saying, all performances in the item are including the atmosphere of "Live concert". But the accident was happen when HMV Japan decided to remake the master tapes to sell as CD. The part of master tapes of the set, Symphony NO.4, was too badly damaged to remake. So, the company has to decide to sell the set, including the same music, recorded in 1960s instead. Some critic, of course, complained to the decision. But it couldn’t be helped. I sometime listen to music with LP. It’s less convenient to listen than CD. But I have to listen to music with LP. In my future, maybe, it’s on the same situation.
This seriously sucks. It truly, utterly sucks. I wrote a tiny little book reveiw, (and only because they asked for it) and they dared to suggest that I "borrowed" it from some other site! They probably can't even read it, those idiots. Don't even understand irony, I reckon. Why don't they get their collective asses off the computer, and go do something productive, like... study English!?
Nyak nyak nyak!(that's my favorite word now) I went to down town today to work in the jewelry store. Trying to finish up the jewelry making work that I was doin' last night,but gee, a torch was broken. Heeey, it was ALREADY broken! I didn'do it!! I hope the owner Bart won't think I broke it.....Oh hell.
After I closed the store, I went to the Greek Festival in down town. Ahhhhhh....Greek food was sooo yummy !! (I mean, compare to American damn nasty food; American food sucks, men! Eww..) Anyway, I thus ate amazingly flickin'lot of food today. Men, I definitely need to loss my weight somehow....X(
Shoot, I forgot to give Eileen call... Aw,hell...life goes on anyhow....
I took medicine, ate two tomatoes in the morning and in the afternoon and ate one tomato in the evening. I ate a watermelon between meals and I think I need to try the next one.
I came home earlier today, for I am going to Okinawa on business. On my way home, I dropped at library in Shibuya, and borrowed the guidebook about Okinawa. Then I came home after having tendon in “Tenya”. Now I am relaxing after I did for tomorrow’s preparations. From now on, I am going to bed.
I've got interested in english language history and english etymology. I got and read two books on those subject. Today I ordered another two books to Amazon.
i heard Exile singing Choo Choo Train being on the radio. remembered my high school hood,and remembered me as a no beauty. me as a highschool student used to be jealous of ZOO as hot young, and now that i got able to what i wanna be, taking any method. i sang Choo Choo with them together.
I had a conversation with a member in my laboratory, who is Iranian, yesterday. I told her, "When I speak English, I'm like a 3-year girl." To the glad thing, she denied it. It was natural for me to ask her how old I am like. After thinking just for a moment, she replied. Don't ask me how old I am like...... but I have to write that I told her. I told her, "I have to study English.".
I had a dream last night. In the dream I woke up and found one of my English dictionaries was under my body and the pages were extremely folded. I thought in the dream that I must have fall asleep while reading it. I put it away and slept again. In the morning I woke up to find the dictionary beside me but no damages. It's good.
I got bitten by my dog. Blood spilled all over the place. I thought I would die, but I survived. Tommorow, I'm going to hospital. Maybe I can't turn on my PC for a long time. I'm really sad.
fuck you fuck what you believe fuck what you stand for fuck off ill fuck ur offer fuck of any fucken motherfucker my son has no sarfactant in his fucken lung
As a matter of fact, the progress in English is due not to the increase of education, but to 182's practical disappearance among those who used the national speech. It is the result, not of 182's prosperity, but of genes disasters - the 182's invasion.
In BBC sports news, I found a headline 'Mexico send US crashing'. I thought it was an interesting expression and I looked up the word with some dictionaries. An example said 'The punch sent him flying'. I also thought it interesting. I read aloud these examples several times to remember. I want to use this expression some day.
I like the LDP because of its small government policy and its pro-American policy. I like the Democratic party becaues it try hard to establish a two-party system in Japan. I wanted to vote for both parties but I decided to vote for the Democratic party. Now it seems that the ruling coalition parties will get majority and keep their policies that I like. And it seems that the Democratic party will make rapid progress in its number of seets and in the two-party system that I like. I'm happy. I hope PM Koizumi and coalition parties will try hard to achieve their policies and the Democratic party will maintain its unity.
添削して --------- Today I went home earlier than usual, because I've caught a cold. On my way home, I got off the train to make a transfer. I have hardly got off the staion that I make a transfer every day. And I took a whim to look for a bookstore. After a while, I've found a yuurin-do bookstore, which was larger than I was expected. and I've found a good book of english grammer. So I am happy now.
I'm ordinary "ojisan". Today, I read english grammer training book for high school student. I tryed, and recognize my poor and miserable english. I said alone "tohoho..."
I like MORNING MUSUME。. I'm looking foward to watching their TV program, HAROMONI which is aired on Sunday. I have recorded the last one on my PC and I watched it today. Every member asked other members what they really thought of her. It was amusing.
添削お願いします Yesterday,My sister has come back from Tokyo to my home. I went home together with my sister. We ate supper after a long time with my sister. I was pleasant time after a long time.
2行目 togatherとwithを一緒に使うのは知っている限りでは、ありません。 togatherを使わなかったら I went home with my sister. となって、自分が姉と2人で肩を並べて歩いて、または車に乗って、 一緒に帰ってきたという感じかな。 1行目でsisterを言っているので、togatherを使って I went home together. がいいかも。英語では同じ事を繰り返すのを避けます。 ですから、逆に言えば「同じ事を言っていればどの言葉を使っても良い」 とおもってください。 細かいニュアンスは気にしなくて良いです。
>228 ネット辞書で『楽しい時間』を調べてみると、pleasant time と出ました。 けどあんまり使わないですよねぇ(汗
Yesterday, My sister came back home from Tokyo. (私は姉と駅で待ち合わせて、) I went home together my sister by train. I had dinner with my sister. I had good time. I was enjoying it!
ちょっと私が気がついたことです。 >>241 After I'm going to〜, I went home〜. 時制が違ってます。 未来のことなのでI went でなくて、I willです。そして、Afterの後は現在型で。 After I meet up with my friend at the station, we will go home together.
>>232 過去なら After I had met up with my sister at the station, we went home together by train. もしAfterを使わなければ I met up with my sister at the station and then we went home together by train. これでもいけると思います。
I had dinner with my friend last night. After I met up with my friend at the station , we went my home together. We went to "びっくりドンキー". I ate too much! I took my friend to she's home since she haven't car. I was enjoying it,too!
>>246-247 meet upは待ち合わせるです。そうとだけおぼえてたんですが、辞書をひいたら偶然に会うという 意味もあるようです。辞書には、to meet sb, either by arrangement or by chance とあります。
>>249 >I took my friend to she's home since she haven't car. 送ったであれば、I gave her a lift home since she does't have a car. 例えば、駅まで乗っけてってあげるよ。てな時にI'll give you a lift to the station. ってな感じで使えます。
11/20 thursday i had my work from 11 to 21 today and had nothing special but im depressed a bit. i hadn't heard from P for such a long time but he called me yesterday.
i went out with him but we've been just friends since September. i thought he got a new girlfriend but not so,he said he had a problem with his work and wanted a real friend. i didn't actually understand it.
it was P's birthday yesterday.i dont know why he called me. ive missed him a bit ,to be honest but i met him as a friend. i get confused sometimes because of Po,so i think we should keep this friend relationship. 長くてすんません。今日思ったコト。時制に自信がありません。添削願います。
I went to a book store to buy an essay written by Nakazawa Yuuko. I was disappointed that I couldn't find it. While I was wandering aimlessly in the book store, I happend to find COBUILD ENGLISH DICTIONARY 4th edition. I took it and read its introduction and looked up several words. I decided not to buy it and continues to use the 2nd edition which I have because I'm very satisfied with the 2nd edition and I think the 4th edition is not much improved from previous editions. I left the book store with no books.
I'm reading a paperback. There was a sentence "There was no path down on to it save by flying". It was the first time I encountered such an usage of SAVE. And I was pleased that I guessed immediately the SAVE of the sentence is a preposition like EXCEPT. I think I fairly get used to English, though only in reading.
When I need to tell someone how I feel in English,I can't always reply quickly. I can understand more or less what speaker is talking about. However, sometimes I can't. Because while speaker is talking to me, I'm think ing about how I reply his/her question. oh-no. what should I do?
>>270 u never have 2 reply quickly. just try 2 speak slowly and while u r saying something very slowly u can think what u r gonna say next. >>271 nobody really can find what he "really" wants. often ppl need to do what they dont want to for living.
I bought high-price speakers for my PC. I connected the speakers to my PC and listened several musics by MORNING MUSUME。 I was pleased that my PC made a better sound. And I watched News 10 by NHK in English on my PC. I wonder I listned better the English news program with my new expensive speakers.
>>273 I bought high-price speakers for my PC. I connected the speakers to my PC and listened TO several SONGS by MORNING MUSUME。 I was pleased that my PC made better sound. And I watched News 10 ON NHK in English on my PC. I wonder IF I UNDERSTOOD the English news program ANY BETTER with my new expensive speakers.
I bought salsa source and cheese but I could not find plain Nachos chips. It means I cannot eat nachos at home. It is heart beating to be under the dark sky at dawn. It is not night, and not yet morning. I like the atmosphere.
I went to a museum about trains in Akihabara because the other day one of my friends recommended it for us. 5 minutes walk from the station brought us there. Firstly we are attracted to the large display of running trains. Dozens of children were shouting names of them during the talk show by a person in charge. Secondly we enjoyed driving a fake train with monitor. We were required to wait for a while but it was worth waiting. Due to lack of time we can't see all of the displays but we promised each other to come there again in the near future.
In spite of all my effort, I haven't yet found my down jacket in my closet this year. Finally I came up with a good idea to go to my dry cleaner's. With a quick glance of my record so far, the shopkeeper told me that I had left something in fact. She brought a mat for our kotatsu table that I had took one year ago. I would have looked for it if I had tried to set the table. I thanked her to keep it such a long time and left there. I was totally lucky to find it although still my jacket remains missing.
At the library near the third station behind ours, I tried to borrow some magazines. Then I found one of them had already been torn off from its cover. As I was concerned about that I would be doubted by librarian as culprit, I asked them to repair it soon just before I took it home. But they refused to mend it without request on the prescribed form. They proposed to give me a phone call afterward. I cannot help facing a difficult decision whether I should take it home because the new edition is to be published within a week.
On my way home, I dropped in on a new drug store, which had opened after closure of a co-op supermarket. It shows us the definitive difference between their management. When I droved in the parking lot, I found the number of parking spaces increased even though the entire space is intact as before. Inside the store, cash registers are gathered into one block, which seemingly allows them to run the store with fewer personnel. How competitive it seems! It is not until now that the former co-op managers would know what lacks in their store.
I met a woman whose daughter had intermarried a Thai. She told me her dauter had had a baby three months before. She discribed her grand daughter had dark skin, adding that she looked completely mixed breed. The woman in her 60's appears to be ashamed. She doesn't imagine even herself is one of minorities in the world. I felt the time has come when ordinally people are involved with so called globalization.
添削希望とあるので気がついたとこをメモしました。もっといい表現が あるとかはわからないので、文法上明らかと思われるところにとどめました。 >>280 doubted -> suspected, by librarian -> by a libralian as culprit -> as the culprit 最後の文は過去形だよね? cannot -> couldn't, is -> was, a week -> the week >>281 closure -> the closure これも現在と過去と混じってる。drovedはdrove what lacks -> what lacked ここは過去でないとおかしい。 >>282 intermarriedって意味は確か? granddaughter mixed breed -> mixed race involved in
dear diary Today I wasted time going to the sucky trck+fld club practise and I'm bound to ache all over tomorrow, when I have to go fetch my report card which is likely to be filled with 2's and 3's. I wanna chat endlessly with someone at the starbucks by the station. I can actually imagine the expressions on the people in queu. hahaha.
When I was relaxed at a coffee shop, a group of businessmen came into around the center table. According to their laud talks, they seemed to belong to a company which sold women's underwears. A leader spoke to others seriously, we should respect viewpoints of women, and continued brainstoming. While I was listening to what they imagined women would think about their underware, for example, women prefered warmer ones because they were sensitive to cold temperatures, I could not help feeling quite funny a lot.
A rebroadcast of "映像の世紀" on NHK has began. I'm very excited with it. I had watched the program a few years ago. I was looking forward to watching it again. Now I completely prepared to record the program. I wish no big earthquake, no volcano eruption and no Bin Laden capture.
It was a snowy day. The first snow welcomed to our back home. We took a taxi, after we gave up waiting a bus in a long line for a while. The driver promised us to choose the most fastest route to drive. It was surely less crowded route. But still I wonder if it was reasonable compared to the usual fare.
The suggested route in an old famous temple, where we visited to kill our time, was divided by automatic doors from place to place so as to visitors would not go against the route. Not knowing that system, grandmother overstepped the boundery with my boy. Since haveing been yelled to come there, I opened it for them When we passed through the barrier again, I happened to leave behind a baloon corded with me over the closed door. She opened it at a breath, saying she seemed us so dismayed..
If I am asked who is the best photographer I've experienced, I would obviously name the one who had taken my picture for my school yearbook. His facility in retouching is marverous. My picture seemed more beautiful than I. Since then I have visited his place every critical turning point of life I had. When I told him about that today, he looked moved a lot.
He told me he had never imagined the day would come to repaper husuma screens. In the store, there were various kinds of paper. Some use glue to attach them on the screens, another use just water because dried glue has already laid over behind. We chose the one to be extended with an iron. It was one of the biggest challenges we had this year to undo their frames. I came near to give up the job, when I saw the part of rim deeply nailed. In spite of fear to damage it completely, he conquered it. We had a splended dinner for his feat.
I got up at 11:00 AM. Then I had brunch alone. It wasn't so cold today. I went to a bookstore and bought a English textbook in ages. After that, I walk my dog to the park.At that time, it was getting cold and dark, In the evening, I reread Musashi Miyamoto --my favorite.
Since we got up at 9:00 AM, we had a late brunch. It seemed to be warmer than yesterday. At a supermarket we bought a bottle of wine for the first time in a long while. Then we walked together to our home before it got cold and dark. In the evening, I was disappointed to know the NHK 7 o'clock news wasn't bilingual --my favorite.
i woke up at 9 am today. today is the last day of the year. but i dont have anything special to do. i still have no special plans except for pecking the keyboard all day long as usual. when i was a kid, new years day meant a lot to me.everything seemed to be beautiful on that day. but nowadays its just an ordinary day passing me by like nothing happens. its no longer a day for me to celebrate.
To what extent do we demand the others compensation? I found my husband had gone out to eat supagetti on his own without saying anything at all while I was studying English. I got hurt so much that I demanded him to take me out for dinner. We drove to some expensive restaurants only to find they close earlier. It become a sushi-go-round restaurant where we had a last dinner of 2003.
I totally would like to agree with the idea that it is supposed not to be so busy at least at the first day of the year. However along with preparation for special breakfast, I had to straggle with a complicated drawing software to design this year's oriental zodiac, monkey, for my belated new year's cards. In the age of cell phone's prosperity, it doesn't seem to be dispensed with these cards for a while.
We walked to the nearest shrine, which was less crowded than last year. The warmer climate seems to have contributed to lead more people to go there on the first day of this year. The fire to burn something sacred from each family had not been ignited. Throwing a five-yen-coin, the traditional sign of a good luck, to the wooden box, I prayed sincerely to the God.
I am a stupid idiot human being who writes to you in 2ch BBS. The reason I am wreting this to you is cos I am bored. I am so so and so bored that I actually was reading Dragon Ball 5 munites ago.
Thoguh I am very aware that it's freaking ridiculously stupid to do this, I have no other choice. I am writing this from my office computer using a computer at home via real VNC, also tunneling my connection with ssh port forwarding. It successfully enabled me to read 2ch BBS without letting know our network supervisor. However I can not change my typing to Japanese input. I am eager to join Tsuji-Kago feaver band-wagon at Momusu-Ookami BBS, but nobody there would bother reading ro-maji or English post. That's why I am writing stupid long diary here. Please please forgive me for writing this here.
I struggled with many equations for a prediction in environmental monitoring study. There were many steps to solve the equations numerically.
At first, I confused to count each finite elements correctly for integrating transport equations.
Secondly, I couldn't calculate liner algeblatic equations by the LU-decompose technique without trouble.
Finally, I have to add some process-based expressions for chemical reactions to the transport equations, but it was so difficult as to require a new program for itself.
I found it was time-consuming comparing with what I would obtain, so I gave up the calculation.
Sometimes a long vacation makes me at a loss what to do next. I decided to cook Chinese steamed bread, inspired by a TV programme I had seen at the end of last year. Fortunately I had all of ingredients in my refrigerator such as bamboo sprout. Fiestly I kneaded flour, which always give me a great deal of fun. While I let them doubled in bulk, I cook fillings seasoning by oyster sauce, sesami oil and so on. Then I placed them on the dough, gathered up the sides around and twist them to seal. It took an hour before I ate them from the beginning. Looking back on the process, I would have waited for them to rise again after making them into portions. That might help them raise more than I had today.
I've never written my diary on this board. So I think I'll try writing it for the first time. I hope my writing-skill will grow.
I'm on winter vacation now. But,because of this,I have to have much homework done. As might have been expected,I got plenty of homework. . . January 5. I have only three days as the rest of my vacation! Finished with math and biology,I've not yet get English finished, and Japanese which I hate the best. At any rate,I must do my best. First of all,I'll take a bath and sleep well. . .
>>313 By the end of my vacation on January 5, I have only three days left. Finished math and biology, I've not yet taken up English and Japanese which I hate the most. At any rate, I must do my best. Prior to it, I'll take a bath and sleep well. . .
Because today was a holiday for me, I did nothing productive. I played warcraft 3, and watched recorded Ayaya TV programs aired during Syougatu period repeatedly. Unfortunately, I didn't record the "Princess Ayaya" program, I am going to download it via winny.
I am wondering if I should meet my father. I am very afraid to meet him, even though I know nothing about him. He is a half part of me. So I think I should meet him before he dies. Or he might be already dead. I will be having a long holiday middle of January. So I could go to Kouti and ask his family, if he is alive or not.
The temperature fell below zero degree. I hardly tolerate cold weather, feeling as if I became a block of ice, even in my bed. I haven't slept without any creatures which emit heats, till I wound up to buy an electric blanket for the first in my life. It was supposed to be one of the last products I would buy in my life because I had been afraid of sustaining a burn by lower temperatures. That was my mother's excuse for not allowing me to use it when I was a child. The blanket is so confortable that I felt happier to be an adult than ever.
My school starts the day after tomorrow. So I'll have to get up by 6:30 at latest from the day. But now,I usually get up at about eleven and have breakfast. I eat both breakfast and lunch at one time! This means I have only two maels,which must't be good for my health. I have to keep good hours. . .
>>313 Thank you for correcting grammatical mistakes.

I had not slept with any creatures which emit heat (?), till I wound up buying an electric blanket for the first in my life. It was supposed to be one of my most unlikely purchases for the fear that I would sustain low-temperature burns. That was my mother's excuse for not allowing me to use it when I was a child. In the end, the blanket was so comfortable that I felt happier than ever to be independent.
"keep good hours" = get up early and go to bed early(that is, healthy)
My grammatical textbook says this expression is old. Because I just find this expression while writing >>319,I tried using it. So you may well not know it(^^; And thank you for correcting me.
I explained about an open course of the Ainu institution in Hokkaido. It has a broadcasting programme on radio. I saw the textbook to be used at a bookstore. First page is an introduction of major words. Second, common greeting phrases are explained. Then they show us an passage out of their old song. On the end of the book, they thank to the speakers who had cooperated for them. All of them are over 80 years old. Sometimes people talk about that cultures should preserve to the next generation to keep curutural diversity. I had a curiosity to glance at the text book but not enough to learn it. To say is one thing, to practice another.
Thursday, January 08, 2004 I decided to start writing in my diary from today. I went to a travel agency to get pamphlets. I considered which country I had better go abroad in Asia. Now I think that it is a good idea to go to Hong Kong or Singapore. 長らく英語から離れていたので駄文で申し訳ありません。文法的な誤りや、より良い表現がありましたらご指導ください。添削ボランティアをしてくださる方がいらっしゃいましたら、気長にお待ちしてますので、お時間のあるときによろしくお願いします。
I visited a travel agency in order to decide where I should study abroad in Asia. After browsing through several pamphlets, I am now leaning toward Hong Kong or Singapore.
At my English class, my teacher suggests us that we should make "omikuji" or paper fortunes which usually sold at shrines to show one's fortune. She asked us to consider the contents and write down on the strip using the word "will" to express the future. I wrote that you would have a driver's lisence because I know one of my classmates is going to take the exam next week and study hard for it. I remember that he has complained about the difficulty of learning sign posts. At the end of the class, we folded each strips and made them anonymous. Then students grabbed them, and I found he had taken it. What a probability there is for him to get the one! I would like to believe the fate favors us and allows him to pass the exam.
I made a resolution for the new year to keep a household account book. Unlike diary, I have hardly continued it ever before. Mainly it because my meticulous nature. I cannot help classifying my purchase in details. Once something bothers me, I couldn't catch up later and result in giving up it. The account book I bought today has only 2 categories to devide. I will make it point to simplify the process and continue all the year long, resolving it is the most important.
>>325 I met my director today. He told me something about studying English and earning more money etcetra etcetra but I found out my TOEIC score was waaay below what he'd expect-350(sigh)
Which newspaper do you subscribe? I read a diffent newspaper every three months. Mainly it's because both newspaper have their own advantage. For example, the Yomiuri, the one of Japanese leading newspaper, provides us with a good explanation for current news. The Asahi, the another major power in publishing business,is famous for its op-ed. It also benefits the sales person from the newspaper agency. They are always pressing to get as many contracts as possible. Three months contract allows them to have a disguised new subscriber. I have been support their sales performance and balanced those two person for long years. Incidentally, these days I changed my workplace and found they have read the Yomiuri. I has lost the reason to continue this system because I can read one of them every day. How should I tell the person in charge to stop subscription without hurting him? Believe me, I'm totally at a loss.
I took exams last week. As to English,social study and biology,I think I did it well. And I'm sure my score of math is better than before. But,the Japanese exam was difficult for me. This exam contained modern Japanese,classical Japanese and classical Chinese. Though I'd expected I wouldn't be able to finish it,I couldn't even reach classical Chinese! After this exam,my classmates said classical Chinese was easier than they'd expected. I regret not starting it first! I have to manage to get over Japanese sometime. . .( ̄ω ̄;)
Please correct me if there's something wrong m(_ _)m
Yesterday,I ruarreled with my husband about money. He wants me to quit my job though he doesn't work now. I felt sad and left living room,sat in front of my computer. I found a messege from my friend.She also send me a lovely song in file. Listening to the song,I felt my heart get calm. Thank you ,Aya.

On my way home, I was too exhausted to open my book. I had to change my train twice until I got to my station. The cold discouraged me to wait in the wind. I killed time in a convenience store. Passing in front of a mirror, I looked so dipressed. In the store, I didn't want to see any magazines and also didn't eat anything. I nearly bought a pack of cigallet, thinking it might help me to drag out from such feeling. But I recalled how hard it was to quit the habit. It takes 2 hours more to go back home than usual. I think I was more resistant to coldness when I was a child. I know I should dicipline myself instead of my parents as they did but it is quite difficult. Indipendence is seemingly cozy but very very harsh to myself.
>>337 Yesterday,I HAD AN ARGUMENT with my husband OVER money. He WANTED me to quit my job though he doesn't work now. FEELING sad, I left THE living room AND sat in front of my computer. I found a messege from A friend OF MINE. She also SENT me a lovely song in file. Listening to the song,I felt my heart EASING. Thank you, Aya.
>>336 AS I'd SUPPOSED I wouldn't be able to finish it, I couldn't even reach classical Chinese! AS I'd ASSUMED I wouldn't be able to finish it, I couldn't even reach classical Chinese!
Today I sent a photo of Akira to N-san and T-san by e-mail. T-san sent me a file of funny photos by msn messenger service. Around 2:00am,I chatted with Vai-kun about 30 minutes. We both aer into soccer,so we talked over watching soccer game on TV.

I have a English licensing examination of semi-1st in two weeks. I'm a little worried about whether or not I pass it. In addition,I also have a exam three weeks later and the next week as well. I'll be tired for a while. . . But I have to do my best with a licensing exam at least because my mother tells me not to waste the examination fee.
By the way I live in the eastern part of Japan. So it's relatively warm even in winter. But it's cold for me! I sometimes wonder how peaple live in Siberia where it's too cold to breathe easily. If I'd been born there,I might have freezed to death. . .
>>338>>341 Thank you for correcting me. I made some simple grammatical mistakes.( ̄;
Feeling odd inside my mouth, I touched the curve of my teeth directly. Then I found my lower back molars, which were in the middle of the line, started to be misaligned by the pressure of a newly emerging tooth. My jaw has been rather small naturally. There is no space to have another tooth any more. I could pull the rearmost tooth and the other wrong-aligned teeth might need some orthodontic treatment. Of course I can choose to neglect those instead of to treat them. I wonder if it is so important for teeth to be aligned correctly. Could it harm my health in turn? My mother urges me to go the dentists' as soon as possible. I cannot have a decision just for a while.
1/12(Mon) The final game of All Japan High School Soccer Tournament washeld at National Studium today. Since I was working,I couldn't watch the game. I was able to know how it is going by Internet. Kunimi High school beat Chikuyo High school 6-0,and Hirayama scored 2 point in the game.
When I back home,my husband was cooking spaghetti. At first,we were going to have rice,but this morning I forgot to set rice cooker's timer. This is the reason that today's menu had changed.
The chemical plant at which I work exploded this morning. At first a small explosion occured. I thought it was thunder. After a few minites a heavy explosion occured. The explosion broke the plant severly and scattered pieces of large iron. The blast sent glass flying everywhere. Very very very luckily no one was killed in the acceident. We talked each other we would have a 'お別れ会'.
I heard he would go to Nigata to join a professional soccor team. His parents are against him for fear of his anticipating failure. The other girl told me she would like to go a technical college. She has also not approved by her parents, to be said "you tries to avoid working". Since they have a clear will to do their aspiration, I hope they'll allow to achieve their goal. I understand their family objects their children because they cannot say with confidence they really have a firm resolution to pursue and realize their vision. But in the world where we're living in where we can't see the future, nothing can be relied on. They are lucky to be able to find their own way to go. The deadline is drawing near. I sincerely hope they will succeed to persuade their parants.
1/14 I got up at 7:00 this morning.My son woke up the same time. We watched Thomas the tank engine's video ,and around 7:30 my husband was get up. Next month,I have to get up earlier than now,because I have to go to Kumagaya branch that farther than Omori branch.
I love bread. I goes to a bakery on the way to work every day. The bakery opens from 7 o'clock and serves buns hot from the oven. I also love their attitude to try to release new taste for buns. For example, I ate so-called Takoyakiagepan, or deep-fried bun with fillings of octopus dumpling inside every day late December. It is lovely because the mixed mouthfeel of both texture of bread and dumbping brings along the flavor of deep-fried oil. There might be another bun with octpus but no fried one. Today they introduced the latest model, in which gorgonzola is wraped up by dough strew with pieces of walnut. I can't eat gorgonzola only but the combination is marverous! Melted cheese adds a slight seasoning to the base dough. They are really as creative as they could extend their stores to the other stations. I wish I could let you eat their buns at least once.

I can't eat simple gorgonzola, but the combination was so marverous that I took a try! Cheese was also adding a light seasoning to the base dough. They were really so creative that they could enen have some branch stores nearby other stations. I wish you can try their buns!

When I got to my school, one of friends told me that a paper noticing a range of next test was on the bulltin board. I have been preparing for the test since the New Year's holiday but it was alittle bit broader than I had expected. I need tactics whether I would study thoroughly the whole area or play a hunch for the limited area. One of my good friends caught up on gossip about what was questioned last year. It must be a great information if we knew our teacher would include them or not. I don't want to leave the test regretted later. I decided to start to memorize some important sentences. although how long I could retain them in my brain is another matter.
Jan.15th I couldn't talk to Mr.T today again.We aren't talk for 3 Days. Why?Because he seems busy with his (卒論は何と言えばよいのでしょうか). I don't want bother him,so I'll wait till he finishs his assintment.

The TV programme I have been into recently is a range of quiz shows, which become almost psychological game. For example I enjoyed to watch one of them last night. It goes firstly to show us a footage of queer situation that seemed never to happen. Last night's question was why we could see cows in the barbar in Colombia. Then six guests allude the answer while they were having free conversations. The answerer tries to solve the conundrum using the suggested hint. In this programme, what I like the most is the conversation. It is really funny and seems irrelevant to the issues but implies the key word so dexterily that you hardly notice that. I am always impressed how people can disguise as if nothing happens. To answer quizes directly are something boring. And such a job had better be undertaken by computers. Knowledge is not only matter to show people having intelligence. There are more programmes well thought out and I am really sorry not to introduce to you all of them.
When I reached school, my friend told me that there's a note that tells the range for the next test on the bulltin board. I had been preparing for the test during the winter holidays, but unfortunately the range was a little bit wider than I thought. I have to decede whether I should study for the whole range or just some certain range. > My good friend caught up on gossip about what had questioned last year. <意味不明により添削不能 It was important if our teacher would cover the range or not for the test. I didn't want to regret later. And I decided to study some important sentences. Otherwise, I wonder how long I could remember them.
My recent favorite TV program is a kind of quiz show, which is almost a psychology game. I have just enjoyed watching it last night. At first, it shows me and the solver a queer situation that rarely seems to happen. For example, Last night's topic was "cows in the barber" in Colombia. Then, six guests allude hints over a "free conversation," which does not relate to the topic. And the solver tries to catch the hint and solve the conundrum. What I like most in this program is the conversation part. It is really funny and seems irrelevant to the topic but they imply key words very dexterily that I hardly notice that. I am always surprised in how the guests disguise themselves during their conversation. Furthermore, I think answering quizes directly is something boring. Such a thing should be better done on computer games. And I beleive knowledge is not only what intelligence is. Thinking is more important. There are more interesting programs and I wish to introduce another one to you in another day.

It has been a long time since I played bowling last time. The bowling alley I went was not crowded in the morning. I wanted to use not so heavy ball for fear to suffer from muscle pains. But I had no choice to choose a 9 size ball because the lighter a ball becomes, the smaller its finger holes become. The lane seemed crooked in the left direction. I need to roll my ball onto the lane very carefully. On the right side of us, a group of families was enjoying a game. Their children appeared to be under elementary school students. On a closer view, I found that their garter zone was filled up by something like bars. So they would never fall their balls in the garter. It's good idea for families to enjoy the games. I wondered if such a devise was seen all around Japan. My score was 98, slightly short of my highest score of 110. At the counter when we paid the fee, we've got a complimentary ticket for one game by Feb 28. I commited to play bowling again soon.
I started from English. When I finished,I thought I must got high score because it wasn't difficult. BUT,WHAT A SHAME! I scored only 97 points for the exam that perfect score were 200 points.

--Comments, I'm sorry to say that I don't think you can have high scores on English tests. You have bad grammer. Even though, you seem young, so study more and improve your skills!
How many years does a watch move on avarage? According to a famous song, grandfather's clock stopped on its 100 years anniversary as its owner died. My family's clock has stopped just before its 8 years anniversary. For the last few weeks, it moved three minutes forward and then two minutes backward. I had thought I should have had it repaired soon. The clock reminds me of when I bought it for a birthday present. Father was confused at that time because its metalic surface seemed unusual for him. It had been left for long time till his watch had broken. Then he could not help resorting to see it, which made it acknowledged as a member of my family. The fixer at a store told me the hands of a clock distorted in some way. So it would be cheaper to buy another one. Following the suggestion, we bought a new one. This time I waited for Father to choose his favorite. He decided much cheaper one close to the one we had used before the last one. In other words, his budget didn't allow him a wide range of options. The former clock was on the table in the dining room last night. I don't know where it went this morning. Things are always like that. That's all.
I went to the prefectural office. The complex of buildings is really complicated. I needed to ask three persons to find my final destination. They were very kind to show me the way to the next post. Although I was aghast at the girls there got together to stop working at noon, I was satisfied with their service in general.
One of my friend told me about his resolution of this year. He wished he would earn more than 150,000 yen a month, get a car and have a girlfriend over 25 years old. As I had known he had liked to go around with a high school girls, It seemed a dramatical change. "I'm tired of their fickleness", he said, "I would like to have a more mentally-matured girlfriend." He is going to work from this April, so he is likely to achieve his resolution. I felt cute that he stressed the importance to set a feasible goal. I hope the year 2004 will be good for him as well.
I picked "the good die young" to sing in front of audience. I have been looked for something cool but not such a leud one. As the CD package showed, most of tunes in the album contained dirty words except this one. In addition of its tolerable vocabulary, it had a strong message to critisize the American society. Fortunately I could get the translation of the script from its official sites.
The writings was so exellent that I completely admired who had translated it. It enriched my imagination for the song. Some say we don't need to understand the meaning of foreign musics and it's enough if it relaxed us. But I don't agree with that. For example, I hardly appreciate songs like "All the things she said". It's just a lesbian song, is it?
Any way if we understand what they claims, we'll find a common ground between different cultures. Recently it is getting popular that some Asian countries trade musics each other as South Korea and Japan. It will serve to build mutual understandings very well. As the challenge has just began, I'll do my best to practice it.
I failed to sing the song "the Good Die Young"! It seemed simple but I lost the rhythm on the line. All my friends tried to cheer me up. One of them rent me a CD of "METALLICA". Another recommended me the Offspring. I feel I would be deep into punk rocks this year instead of hip-hops in last year.
Could you correct me? I hope you give me some advice.
I've studying English conversation for about a year at AEON which is a English conversation school. I've had a lot of fun there,and I mean to continue studying it. Through talking with native speakers and classmates,I came to think it enjoyable to speak in English. This school teachs me what isn't teached at school,such as speaking,conversation skills,culture and so on. Besides,even though I felt hesitant to talk with a foreigner before, now I've gotten used to doing that more,and come to want to communicate with one. I have to be more positive,though. What else I have to do is acquiring listening skills. I can listen some to NHK Radio News in English,but can hardly listen to movies in English. I'll continue studying English at my own pace,
Along with a road shoulder, a ban was stopped. It appeared something like a tailgate sell. When I approached it, I found it belonged to a gas plumber. Both sides of the ban were opened and enabled me to overlook whole gadgets and miscellaneous parts on it, organised on separated shelves neatly. The rear was available as a temporary workshop, in which plumbs were processed by some electric cutting tools equipped there. I got interested in seeing his job. As we may assume his capability from his organaised setting of tools, he seemed to know everything to complete his job correctly in the fastest way. He was very careful to arrange new parts and connect them. While I was watching him, he spoke almost nothing. We can call him a excellent craftman. It reminded me one of my friends, who is going to be a plasterer. He has the same kind of carefulness that makes me to have a special affection for him. I left there, convinced that both of them would achieve a great amount of pride from their jobs and it would be fortunate for them.
ive just started studying English at nova,but my english has been getting worse and worse day by day though i dunno why. i would like to move to the other english language school,however it seems impossible,so i will do my best to study here did i make a big mistake? anyway, i will be able to find out what I make a right decition or not one year later.
1/24 This evening I chatted with Mr.T and Ms.Y for an hour. Mr.T is a great Heavy Metal fan,especially he's into 'PANTERA'. I don't know much about this kind of rock,but Ms.Y was huge Heavy Metal music fan and her favorite band is 'SLAYER'. They seems went together. If I knew about Heavy Metal,I would chat more longer. I felt little lonely,so I pretend to it's my turn of taking bath, and say good night to them.
Could you correct me? I hope you give me some advice.
I took English exam of pre-1st grade. The day before yesterday,I'd also taken other trial exam at school. So the last week was hard for me to spend, because I had to study English,Japanese,math,etc... That's why I've been busy and tired. (Besides I have other exams next week,and the next as well...) As I'd expected,the English test was difficult to solve as the whole. I could solve some of the grammatical questions. But the listening questions were more difficult than my expectation. Even though I'd looked over those questions before, question sentences were started to be read and continued at a high speed. I desperately catch them,but it was too speedy for me! After all,it's a delicate matter whether I'll pass it or not. I wonder how I'll feel when I look at the contents of a postcard from STEP. I'm very nervous now!

Yesterday I heard about problem about guide dogs for blind people. Although the legislation that allows them to enter stores accompanied their dogs was enforced last year, it is said that it hardly prevails in the society in Japan. Some shopowners say they just don't know that, while another owner of restraunt says he wouldn't follow it. I imagined how it may be if I cannot enter any shops when I go out. I would feel lonely to be segregated. On the other hand if I happen to see dogs in a fastfood, I would think it's not sanitary. How about to have the dogs put on clothings of much fitted one? And unify the color or design for the guide dogs as to understand easily for ordinary people, Otherwise people should make head way to develop hairless dogs using bio-tech? That prevents the dogs from falling their fur anywhere else they shouldn't and ease the sentiment of the people who refuse to accepte them now. What's going on in the Western countries? I started to be curious.
I had a fuck with an American girl last night. At first, she seemed she did not want to have a fuck with me. So I forced her to strip off with a knife. Then she became naked with a lot of tears on her eyes. I really enjoyed see her crying out as I licked her fucking pussy.
But as soon as I started to put my penis into her pussy, She told me to do it harder. I kept doing that for nearly a hour. It was the best fuck I had ever done in my fucking life!
Although she seemed to have been scared at first, at the end she really enjoyed having a fuck with me. It was really fun. I wanna do it with her again some time soon.
Could you CORRECT ME? I hope you give me some ADVICE.
I've stayed home all day long today because my school has been closed. Today,only "jukensei"(examinees) could enter the area of the school and they took an entrance examinaton. Junior high school students coming there today is about four times as many as is allowed to enter it. So many of them may have felt nervous today. In this period of two years ago,I was so,too. When I look back on my "jukensei" days,I remember I was uneasy. If I failed the exam,I had no choice but to work. That's why I felt very relieved when I found I passed the exam. I wonder how hard they're studying now.
I have been fired. And I have found a new job. And I have to prepare to move untill Friday. Clean my room, throw out the trush and get my things ready. But nothing has progressed.

I've stayed home all day long because there was no lecture at school today. Only junior high school "jukensei" (examinees) could enter the school and they took an entrance examinaton. There should have been as about four times as many junior high scholl students that will pass the exam. So most of them should have been nervous. I was nervous at my exam too, which I took two years ago. I remember my "jukensei" days were stressfull. If I had failed the exam, I had to work. That's why I felt so relieved when I passed the exam. I wonder how hard the examinees today are studying now. <原文の"they"が誰を指しているのか分からない、直したけど意味は通じない。

I've wanted to watch BS-television at home. One of my friends suggests I watch BS because I can watch many beautiful scenes all over the world on TV. Actually,I study geography at school because I want to know world affairs.
And my other student also says that lots of news in English are broadcast on BS ,so they help me gain my listening skill. I've asked my parents to buy BS system for several years. But each of them has said, "Oh,year.I'll buy it someday."
>>407 Thank you for your advice! Even though I used my dictionary many times in writing, I should have written in more simple English. I'd like to gain my writing-skill more through this BBS.

The other day,I went skiing with my family at ALTS(skiing area in Fukushima). This was for the first time in three years. So I'd been really looking forward it. It was sunny and comfortable. Seeing a very beautiful view, I enjoyed skiing. I was fortunate to ski in such nice weather which is rare in winter. By the way,the number of non-skiers ,such as snowboarders and fan skiers, has lately been increasing more and more. I've done skiing for as many as 10 years ,so I've felt like taking up other winter sports. So after graduating from my high school, I want to try snowboarding sometime. Besides, I want to go to a big ski resort abroad ,where I'll have a much fun!

During the morning, I was late for a while to go to the church. When a pastor preached a sermon, unwillingly I dozed. After the worship, the people of the church invited me to lunch, but I refused the invitation and came straight back to home. After all I stayed home in the afternoon.
>>412 I was late for church this morning. I dozed off unintentionally during the sermon. Some people at the cchurch invited me for lunch after the mass, but I declined the invitation and came straight home. Then I stayed home all afternoon.
>>417 I really appreciate your help. Let me ask you one more thing. Could you explain the difference between refuse and decline? 日本語で結構です。おそらくrefuseでは断り方が強すぎるのですか?
I was able to do neither cleaning nor arrangement as planned today. I cannot throw away easily the things which is still attached. Although it turns out that I should throw away useless things quickly, I have tendency to keep the things unnecessarily. This is my bad peculiarity.
Since the weather was very warm I wanted to go out. I should have come out and just taken a walk.. I called the electric power company, the Waterworks Bureau, and the gas company to stop the service next month because I will move back to my parents' home. I should call a move contractor quickly.
Today,I took a regular exam at my university. It was awful! I had no time to answer all questions. After that, I went to travel agency with my friend because we had to pay money to our travel. I had to study French for next exam, but hardly I studied that today. I dislike French. It is so difficult for me to understand that. I gave up to study French, so I made sweets because I promised to make cookies for my friend. I rareliy cook, so I had difficulty to make cookies. I missed to shape dough and those are not good-looking,but those are not so bad taste. I will give those to her tomorrow. Recently, I am addicted to cook! I want to be good at cooking.
Now, I am thinking that I must study English bacause I will forget my English during spring vacation. I think I must keep in touch with English every day, so I decided to write English journal....
>434 There is no relationship between travel and studying French. I must study French because I will take french exam tomorrow. And then, I will go Guam after final exam. I'm sorry to give rise to your misunderstandings.
>>438 My pleasure. I've been to Paris in France and Guam. Paris is so bautiful,but I didn't have any knowledge of French. So I couldn't read a menu in a restaurant at all, and then I went to Mcdonald everyday. I spent wonderful time in Guam as well. Actually I was always in the beach and got horrible sunburnt.
I must study Enlish hard. Otherwise,I won't be able to pass the entrance examination. I think what matters most is to make the best of what we are given,but…I can't….
Hello! I appreciate your kindness of last night. I wish I could come back that time. Invite me to a party again whenever it is convenient for you. Take care, 間違いナイデツカ?
When is your entrance exam? I think the most important thing is doing your best. You should not have regrets about your studying. You want to pass the exam very very seriously, so your effort will surely bear fruit. Good luck!!
I'm sleepy. When I was walking along listening to a music, I remenbered BoA singing the song on TV. It was very cool. So I tried imitating her. But as almost all people expect, I couldn't. コンドコソ完璧(`・ω・´)エヘソ
Today, I woke up at noon and went to cafe near my house. I had branch and enjoyed reading books. After few hours, I went to dentist because I want to make my teeth more regular. I want to have a regular set of teeth. I talked with dentist and he took a picture of my teeth. Today's examination was only that, but I had to pay a lot of money! Why the cost of doctor is so expensive...?!

( Could you give me some advice? ) I have exams today and another three days. I know the results of these exams have some influence on my grades. But I don't feel like studying except English and geography. Even though I have to take exams of another seven subjects, I've been already tired. . . Anyway, I've got to study tomorrow's subjects ,writing(English) and biography. So I'll call it a day. . .
Japan national team got a narrow victory. Actually I thought the match would end in a draw. I wonder how many people believed Japan could get a goal in extra time. In fact Japan did it! I was so excited the victory. Mr. Kitazawa, who broadcasted as a commentator on the live said that he believed a few chances in extra time. In addition, he said there is no victory with ease but it is important to believe power of strong confidence in victory. His word was absolutely true. I feel getting power.
On this Monday, I was transfered to foreign trade section of a company as an sales assistant. Since I have never used English before I was transfered, I am so worried about conversation on phone or by e-mail.
I have decided to learn English and to catch up my new job.
I'll come to this thread for practice. Though this will not improve my job skill, it will be a good chance for me to use English.
I was only glad to receive many e-mails from all over the world. After opening these e-mails titled 'Hi', I also executed their attached files. But I found anything, so I replied there was no action, and asked them what kind of software they had attached. Of course, I thanked them by the replying e-mails, and was going to keep in touch with them.
After that, nobody has responded me. I feel lonly.
Today,I was studying all day. Today's only interesting thing for me was to meet my old classmate at convenience store. He is my classmate when I was junior high school student. I didn't recognize him because his looking changed. But he said, "I was able to recognize you because you don't change" I was a little shocked when I heard his words.
>>475 Today, I studied all day. Only thing that was interesting was running into an old class mate from junior high at a convenience store.

I was a little shocked when I heard him say that.
I caught a chill last night. As for me, I often have a pretty stoppage in the nose when it comes to a symptom of cold. When I talked with my mother on the phone yesterday, she noticed that I have a cold. Last night I went to bed earlier than usual and I recovered completely. My mother, on the other hand, seems to catch a cold, for she spoke in a snuffle on the phone a little while ago. I wonder if she caught my cold through the phone. No! That's impossible, isn't it?
I also got a cold. It's been four week since I started coughing. I've heard from someone that if you have coughs for more than 2 weeks, it's not a cold that you got, but it's a TB. TB stands for tuberculosis(for those who don't know about it). I seriously considered to go to a doctor, but I didn't after all. For one thing I was afraid to be diagnosed as having TB. For another I didn't want to spend my precious time and money on such a bad thing. For three days in a row I have very few coughs. Now I'm confident that I got a cold, not TB.
>>479 have a pretty stoppage in the nose → get a stuffy nos that I have a cold → that I had a cold → My mother, on the other hand, seems to have caught a cold. → She spoke in a snuffle on the phone a little while ago.

I saw XX for the first time in four months. We met at XXX station and went to a cool revolving sushi bar in Parco. I had been very hungry due to skipping lunch, but I didn't eat so much. Some people are too hungry to eat,aren't they? She thought I didn't have a good appetite because of some trouble.
The cooks who worked there looked all young and lively, and energetic. Both sushi and their performance were really good. We enjoyed the taste and sight.
A news made me surprise. She started seeing a boyfriend, who worked together at the same restaurant. Much to my surprise, she had never been going about with anyone until she met him. I think she is beautiful, cheerful, and in addition a little conservative. Some guys must have made approaches to her. I guess she rejected them. She told me she didn't like him very much at first, but the guy gave her a try so many times. After all her mind was moved to see him love her. When I see her talking with him on the phone, she looks happy now. I'm curious what he looks like.

Yesterday, I watched movies on video at home. I saw two movies.They are ABOUT A BOY and THE SWEETEST THING. I prefer the former to the latter. The latter includes a lot of sexual and dirty conversation. I think it is okay to just amuse myself with such a conversation, but, in speaking English as a non-native speaker, dirty words would be worse than useless. After that, I surfed the net looking for the script on my favorite movie. I found it, but I gave up printing it out because of a large volume.

I'm thinking of participating in 2ch with frequency for my English learning. I have two reasons why I think so. The first reason is we, guests might exchange useful information about English learning. As matter of fact, I got some of English study tips through 2ch; besides I happened to find a few websites which are very useful to me. The secound one is I could receive feedback from other participants. In this thread, for example, some kind person correct errors in English composition. For learners, including myself it is more helpful to show someone else English writing than keeping by ourselves. Actually, I used to be reluctant to keep a diary in English and fearful of making mistakes. Now I don't hesitate to express in English.
Of course, I know the negative side of 2ch. Absorption in 2ch might prevent us from learning English. I have to keep in mind that some care should be taken not to waste time looking on 2ch excessively.
Oh! Your opinion carry a lot of conviction. I guess you have a firm policy and passion about studying English. I think 2ch have both good and bad side to study English. Let's keep studying English from now on... By the way, I am thinking that I will save money during spring vacation. I work at an houry wage of 730 yen now, so it is so difficult for me to earn a lot of money. So, I am lookimg for another part-time job which I can get better pay in short time, but I can't find a job which is appropriate to my condition. Please give me some advice about good part-time job! Do you have a part-time job? If so, what kind of job do you have, and how about it for you?
Could you correct me? I hope you give me some advice!
Recently, I've heard Haiti has a hard time. In Haiti, several rebels have armed and teken control of almost all the northern part , and will maybe come to rule over the capital city. I'm concerned about the present Haitian situation.
In addition, I'm worried about Haitian nature. Haiti now has only 3 persent of the former forest. There had been a large forest in Haiti a few hundred years ago, but the poor Haitian people cut many trees for their lives. As a result, many mountains lost their precious trees and fertile soil. It may be very difficult to get them back.

Haiti now has only 3 persent of the former forest. There had been a large forest in Haiti a few hundred years ago, but the poor Haitian people cut many trees for their lives. ↓ Haiti's forest land has decreased to 3 percent of what it had been a few hundred years ago as Haitian people living in poverty had to cut them for their lives.

I sometimes think I want to do a part-time job because ,of cource ,I want more money. My mother gives me 5000 yen twice a month. I've tried to save more money ,and finally ,my present savings amount to more than 100 thousand yen! I haven't decided what to use them for yet ,though. But a friend of mine says his savings are several hundreds thousand yen!! He's been doing a part-time job for nearly two years and dreaming of buying a foreign-made car. I envy him. So I ask my parents many times to let me do one, but they always say "No. Instead, study more hard !" . . . . . It may be after graduating from high school that I can start one.(´Д`
>>516 my present savings amount to more than 100 thousand yen! ↓ I have saved more tham a hundred thousand yen! use them → spend it savings are → saving is do one → have a part-time job more hard → harder カンマの位置に注意しましょう。

Today I got an e-mail from Mr.T. I haven't heard from him for about 2 months since we met last time. He said he's in Texas now.After he graduated University, he'll going to stay US for 6 months. I was very surprised to know that because he didn't say about that. He'll send me some CD and magagines.I'm very happy!!

Today, I wake up at 4 pm cause I sit up late last night. After waking up, I drank a cup of tea and ate an english maffin. It tasted good. Then, I went to the housing office to ask when do I need to move out, but the office was closed. I said to myself "What am I doing? I know that the office always close earlier than schedule". And I went back to my room.
I have to gain the work because I have liitle money. Things are worse and worse. A slice of bread I managed to eat. There is nothing to eat. Please help me!
As the number of my audio CDs increases, I come up with selling them on the net. It will serve cost-saving and heip to buy another CDs. If only my CD-RW would work well. For fear of its supposed expensive fee for repair, I left them broken over years.
It was not until noon that I visited a PC shop along a highway with my PC. At first the man in charge told me they would charge more than $380. Whild I asked him to offer me more detail estimate, I looked around inside the shop. The scenery has difinitely changed when I had bought my PC four years ago. The cheapest desctop costs about same amount as I got mine fixed. The time may have come to buy another one.
All the staff wore Hawaiian shirts, creating kind of atomosphere the summer was drawing near. I was at a tourist agency to book a train. Waiting on the line, I found those staff were all men, most of whom were seniors. I saw it something queer because women usually work as receptionist at any front desk, such as at banks, at offices and so on. It seemed that the agancy had been in a series of restructure. Then a new question struck me. Is it really cost-effective to place awkward seniors on the front? Do they happy to be there? Recent trend of gender equality in the workplace sometimes confuses me. I felt the Hawaiian shirts were just poignant.
>>537 Today, I woke up at 4 pm because (か'cos) I sat up (or stayed up) late last night. After getting up(目覚める起きるはwake upだけど、寝床から出る起きるはget upのほうが自然かも), I drank a cup of tea and ate an english maffin. They tasted good(マフィンだけならitだけど). Then, I went to the housing office to ask when I need to move out, but the office was closed. I said to myself "What am I doing? I know that the office always closes earlier than supposed to" and I went back to my room.
It was an amazing trip! Firstly, this is the first experience to rent a car. After I was given advise about the route at the office in the station, I started to drive the brand-new Honda's "Fit"! But it was not long before I noticed even the latest map didn't follow the present road. The sign they had told me to turn right wouldn't appear. A new bypass seemed to have been built just last month. An instinct guided me to the distination. Second, any place we visited opened its door even we are behind the closing time. In the countryside, any business closes earlier. For example, while Ito Yokado in my neighborhood closes at 11 p.m. the counterpart of the area closes at seven. I didn't get used to the custom, I arrived anywhere else slightly late. But they are welcomed to keep open till we dush to fulfill our purpose. At the end of my journey, I felt it was miraculous we could finish it with such a lot of contingent problems, however, it was fun to carry them through on my own. I enjoyed experiencing it and sooner I'll have another unexpected story again!
Three days before, I met an English native who couldn't make himself understood to a clerk. I helped him with translating his complainment into Japanese. He told me that he lived in the neighborhood with his wife and stayed at home in the daytime on weekdays because he lost his job last month. He proposed me that he like to have an language exchange with me. I had no problem about that. Anyway his Japanese was so terrible that I'd better to learn Japanese more at least to do shopping by himself. We exchanged home phone number because I am not a cellular phone user.
The next day I gave hime a phone call at night. His wife corresponded. I told her that her husband had asked me to call him. He was not at home. She seemed upset because of not knowing about his promise. I had to explain that I would like just to learn English and not to worry anything about our anticipated relationship. I asked her to have him call me later. I have been no reply since then.
Why did he suggest the language exchange if it makes her wife upset ? I like to be fair and decent any time. I felt really bad to be treated by her wife as some kind of yellow cab. No sooner I had hang up the phone than I tore off the paper written the number into pieces and threw it away forever.
I happened to visit an exposition of elementary school textbooks, while I dropped in on a city hall, avoiding the heating sun. It was held in a typical classroom-size room on the corner on the 5th floor. I read of the guest book few visitors had climbed up to that height.
Those textbooks were thinner,bigger and more creative than the ones in my school days, all printed in color with cute companion animals to help students feel intimacy. It seemed that the people compiled them wished that no student would have any psycological objection to the subject.
I tried to imagine what it will be like to study using those textbooks. It must have been designed to raise more deligent people who would find fun to pursue their own study for a life. It can be true. We Japanese can cultivate more attractive personality in the international society in the coming decades. On the other hand, the textbooks also gave me an impression that because of its nature of creativeness with thinner content, teachers are asked their capabilities to use them. The disperities of quality in education will be more widened because the teacher in charge have more responsibility.
Who could have imagined that obtaining files from the web would be such a tough job. I read a introduction of a site that we could downroad audio books on some charge. The price is definitely cheaper than the ones we see in book stores. I was at stake to type my credit card number in the form, not knowing it would work well or not.
Then you can't be back any more. The dice was rolled. The first hurdle you need to concur is downroading the files. The file type is exclusive to the programme for this site, which required me to downroad it at the very beginning. It bothered me to turn off the PC a few times to install. Then I downroaded textbooks which was read aloud. It also took time because I am not familiar with unknown file types. I need to try or error to find the most optimal speed to use them.
How to burn them into CDs was another problem. I didn't know I could fail when my PC automatically get into the sleep mode. Then I didn't know how I could divide entire 3h38m long audio into three CDs. I wasted blank CDs here and there. I was grateful the CD-Rs has got cheaper to allow me not to stint them.
This big project required me almost two nights and just now I have succeeded to get complete beautiful copied CD. The next assignment to be burdened me is to listen to it. Thanks to the great advances to get them through such a way of distribution, I am resoluted to enjoy them as much as I can.
The photograph that she handed me was terrible. I needed the one to renew my passport, almost expired in a few days. At my favorite photo studio wel-known their skills to retouch something on the face, I realized that I couldn't avert my eyes from the fact that I'm aging any more. I have loved to be changed my figure into kinds of completely different person in the frame. But this time, not. I complained to them to take it more over because my eyes are slightly closed. Again I recognized it was not their fault.
I stared the image that I must get used to from now on.
It reminded me of my ex-boss. He was around 40 at that time. I was in my 20s. When he showed me his photo to get a passport as I did now, he told me that he was also impressed at his figure that changed what he used to be, he quotes, he looked more slender and more arrogant. What I saw in him was avuncular personality ignorant of his shape.
Some say that we should take a responsibility on the face in the latter life. In an early age of life, our face was just given by our parents. Then we are builting it up as we grow. I tried to talk to my shadow, " Am I happy?" Voiceless reply reached me. I saluted again her, saying "Nice to see you and I hope that I would get along with each other."
The pamphlet of a estate firm was featured on 1 room, designed for students. Comparing to my days of single life, the rent has got cheaper by 20%. People say it attributes to the prolonged defletion but I wonder if our income also got lower at the same rate.
I found two intersting rooms in it. One of them is maisonette type. I was attracted because it can be too gorgeous for students. Maybe they can share the rooms with their friends. Otherwise, it might be very useful to have a party there.
The other is the apartment which gives its lessees discount of 10,000 yen for the first four months. I couldn't figure out why they offer a discount and why it is the event of four months. Four month sounds somehow inconfortable.
Maybe the landload thought it induces more people. He also doesn't ask for any deposit and key money at first for special offer. But doesn't he think over that a possibility to get just capricious costomer, and to be fled away soon after the four months. Or does he cariculate most of students who settled anywhere once would not move easily during his education?
I enjoyed to look thorough it and feel satisfied to decide one I would be most likely to rent if I were a student.
I am reading a second piece of essay in an anthology, which I borrowed from a library. Just I wanted to immerse myself in the ambiance of litereture, sipping a cup of coffee at silent night, during which from time to time the sirens of ambulances interupted.
First essay is about an New Yorker in his 50's who persues the same scent his father had used. He collects almost all the bottle of fraglance in the world, suggesting his what might be called pilgrims is kind of reminiscent of days gone by. He anticipates that he would never get the end and his son will also take over the passion to pursue him in the future.
The pang of nostalgia depressed me. The childhood of anyone will not return forever. However attractive the idea is, to go over the past right now is a little bit early for me.
I was relieved that I had read that story anyway. Then I went ahead to the next one, and found it was also about memories of the writer's late mother. I sighed. The anthology has 12 stories by 12 writers respectively. But it seemed a premonition that similar theme entailed one another. It shouldn't be all the essays are about memories and past events. How lond should I persist to meet the one of my taste?

I am reading a second piece of essay in an anthology, which I borrowed from a library. Just I wanted to immerse myself in the ambiance of literature, sipping a cup of coffee at silent night, during which from time to time the sirens of ambulances interupted. 私はアンソロジーにおいてエッセイの第二の部分を読んでいる、そしてそれは、私は図書館から借りた。 ちょうど私は文学の環境で私自身を浸したかった。そして、救急車のサイレンが時々どれをinteruptedしたか、静かな夜でカップ1杯のコーヒーをすすった。
Orange, Yellow, and then Pink. The tiny pieces of tablet gum danced on my palm. I was nearly giving way to tears on the train, striking a chord with her kindness. She was a totally stranger at first. What made us to have a chat was that her mother, who was in the other side of her, suddenly hit her on the bottom.
I'll tell you in detail. The girl looked two to three years old. With her natural ginger and curiosity, she was unable to sit motionless as her mother deciplined. The tone of her mother's nagging has finally ended up to beat her bottom. I couldn't bear them even if it was her policy to keep manner on the train. It should be respected but I couldn't oversee any violence under any backdrops. I told her mother politely that she was too young to tolerate the long ride on the seat. It was day time that few passengers are on board. She would't cause a great deal inconvienience to the others.
What broke our uncomfortable silence was her cheerful nature. As young she was, she understood well that I supported her. She got close to me and started to play with me. She gave me gums, telling me that the pink one shaped round was special. I was astonished at her unwincing and defenseless open mind. I understand that she had been raised among a lot of love, no matter how meticurous her mother could be. She told me that she wanted to hold hands and get off the car with her at her destination. From outside of the car, she waved to me for a long time until I lost her sight. I love children because of such a direct expression of their emotion, even though it is not love but hatred. I love them because of their purity.
They are prepared to accept other's kindness without doubt. I don't need any consideration to be kind to them. The other day I gave a wet tissue to a man who stained his trousers at a coffeeshop. He seemed anger out of feeling embarassed. I know everybody doesn't lose such a disposition but how hard it is to take care of men without blemishing their pride.
Today,there is preparation of school festival. So we get tired. But it was very interesting! Preparing with friends is very very interesting!. And I wait school festival to pleasure.
The school festival holds after a week. I hope to school festival that be very interesting.
As reference, I enjoy reading blogs written in English in some websites. Most of them are young and often use interesting expressions with some grammatical mistakes and spelling errors, which encourages me somehow.
But they have a great deal in common aside from them: the length of sentences and passages. When we Japanese produce anything in English, whether write or speak, one sentence tends to be relatively simpler to what we write in our mother tongue, no matter how deep we feel inside. I believe that partly it is because we are awkward to use the grammer. We can avoid any considerable mistakes as long as we make shorter sentences.
In regard to passages, I often see good blogs written in Japanese. We should have contents and skills to express our opinions. But what limits us from certain length of writing, when it comes to English..
Expressing idea is so important to mutual understanding that I hope more Japanese would join international blog sites. And I also hope that I could create my atomosphere in writings closer to the one I do in my language some day.
It is the alarm clock that we are missing for a month. Maybe someone in our family moved it unconciously. It is set at some time at early morning, but what a funny thing, no one can wake up by its sound. To be exactly, though I am sometimes awake around that time, I don't want to be bothered to look for it. In addition to that, I don't need any alarm clock to get up because I am a natural early riser. My father asks me to find it soon because he wants to need at the day when he goes to business trip. But you see, the sound at night is nothing for him. Why can we say it works as well to achieve his purpose?
Bugs are obviously one of those I detest the most. A glance of their figure frightens me, never allowing me to touch them. I hope that most of you, living in urban life, would agree with me. However, What if you hear of bugs that would be about to apply for medical use?
So-called genetically modified bugs were on TV in the evening while we had dinner. It makes best use of larvae under the earth where they grow up and exposed to a lot of bacteria, that brings them to achieve their property resistant to bacteria. They expect to administer them to attack MRSA, the uncurable desease in the moment. The programme also showed us to have silkworms spit off threads not of silk but of skin texture, which will be cultivated into sheets of graft on a plate.
Then have you determined what you would do when you offer the bugs-dirived medication? It sounds like transplantation of pig's internal organs into human's body. I don't want any strange objects even though it is produced from human genes incorporated in bugs. No matter how much I threaten to death by any diseases, I would definitely refuse it.
The scientist who studies to develop those insects at university continued to speak entheusically. His obsessive way to talk lessened my aptitude. I turned it off.
According to the textbook of geography, the weather in Japan is sometimes explained as temerate humid climate, whose chief characteristics are its season and, above all, humidity.
I have heard that many foreigners felt glampy they didn't like muggy heat of its summer. On each occasion I murmur because it's Japan or something. But I like to say here. It's not Japan.
The one third upper part of Japan I lived was less humid and cool. For me, it is the standard of summer. When I had to move to Tokyo, I asked one of my friend who started to live there one year earlier that what the weather is like. After consideration, she told me it's like in the air made of lukewarm jerry. Now I know what she meant completely.
My first impression of Tokyo is as if I'm in one of South Asian countries. I couldn't believe even the water from taps can be heated. Everything in the kitchen rapidely go rotten when I forget to put them into my frigo. The laundries could be turned putrid if I left them in the sink of washing mashine. We can blame the weather to the beauty of women's skin. I have to take care of cosmetics more.
Lying awake intent at scheduling in the coming month, I brought back to the elementary school days when we had to file a B4 size chedule chart as part of assignment for summer vacation.
The chart was divided by time and we can assign any activities on my own in the colomn. After we fulfill the task, we should fill the blank in color, Every end of the summer I did it at once without any consideration. I thought it was ridiculous because I wouldn't keep the schedule.
Now I happened to have a lot of free time because of the temporary workers agency. I gave a phone call to inquire the place I was supposed to dispatch the next day. They explained that my successor had caused a trouble and the company wanted to stop to have contract with the agency. It is the information given at the day before the anticipated day I work. They simply apologized me and there was no problem if I look for another job. I told them I would not offend them and hang up the line.
I felt tired to be with any temporary staff agencies. Why didn't they imagine that I arranged my schedule for the job. I had to turn down the other attractive offers just because it came later. I gave up to hang out with my friends and I excused some conpulsory assignment in the neiborhood. They don't know the word of respect.
Then I thought I should be blamed for it. I, no other than anybody else, registered as temporary staff instead of working as a regular worker. I am the one who disrespect myself.
The teacher must have taught us self-dicipline. I might not be so disappointed because in another way I was given a great deal of present which name is free time. Although I feel a little bit scary to be without any means to earn the income, I could manage it. I bought a note to pin the coming days in order not to waste them. Can I execute them this time? far distant from the elementary school days?
I started to join Englishtown, the site you can take English conversation lessons online. I was excited to be able to practice speaking at home. As using a microphone, I can concentrate more on how I am speaking. It is also useful to know different accents in the world. I was addicted for the first few days.
Then all of sudden I pedaled my brake to the system. It is not the most effective way to achieve English. Teachers don't correct errors to put priority on fluency and sometimes I have few time to speak depending on the people logged in. It means it gives me an opportunity to output English but not input. I could be satisfied somehow to express my opinion, but that's all.
Monotonous training like memorising sentences, repeat to read aloud and so forth is more necessary before outputting. While I study English I feel as if I was training at a gym. As lonely I feel, I imagine the scene I perform well, disconnecting the line, I turned back the steady work as usual.
On the readers column in the newspaper I have subscribed, I saw a writing posted by a 40-year-old woman who had experienced hospitalization.
As she was in the hospital to a extent, her roommates was changed. Firstly she shared her room with 3 other patients in their 20's. Then later she moved to another room with 5 other around 60-year-old patients. In the first period, she says she felt loneliness with them. Because they usually shut their curtain respectively and don't talk any other else but her original friends who come to the hospital from outside. Otherwise, they watched TV. She says there were no conversation. On the other hand, she found the following room was totally different. The roommate was always chatting and had a lot of fun.
She refers to the problem of communication in youth, quoting, even though they will not meet each other from now on, there's no harm to introduce themselves or just make a greet every day. I agreed to that tendency is prevailing these days even in my surroundings. People are likely to occupied to maintain a closer relationship using cellular phones. We simply might not afford sparing our time for strangers.
I wouldn't have thought of diving into a sea of sand on such a boiling day. But the boys were not. As I was getting a cooler breeze under the shade of trees in the park, they started to play beach flag in the sandbox.
Do you know the beach flag? It is a game played at beach. All the participants are supposed to lie seeing backward and ready to get the sign of start. No sooner they hear the crack of a pistol than they get up and slide into to get one of the flags.
The school boys pretended their caps as flags. I was fascinated in their way of judging. When the two caught the same flag, sometimes they repeated the game again and sometimes they played paper-rock-scissors to call the winner.
There was no explicit rule. It seemed very versatile and flexible. Each time they had troubles, it was mediated by themselves very well not to make people upset too much but not to harm their own right. I was so impressed that 6th grade students can be considerable and nearly changed my mind that I would not believe teen's responsiblity to serious crimes.
Again I was placed an order from the used market on Amazon.com, still wondering I really gained profits or not.
I make it rules to store less books than my bookshelf can afford. As I want a new one, I sell another one which I will not read any more. I often make use of the used market on Amazon.com. The real used bookstores would charge on my books below the one tenth to the original price. However, we can put any price on our own books at the site. My purpose is not commercial but to make room, usually I am content to get 30% of what I paid before.
This time was the case. I found that the one I supposed to sell had been out of print. Furthermore, there was a queue of the people who waiting for the offer. On average they suggested to pay half of the price. If you were in my shoe, how much would you ask them?
After a long consideration, I gave astonishing amount of two-thirds. It was a bet if they purchase or not. I should not worry about it. The response was as quick as lightning. When I told this deal to one of my friends, it was a very valuable book for mania. Then question again, what strategy would you take?
I think the most desireble English teacher would be bilingual, following the one who can speak the both language. Native speaker would be appreciated but local learned teacher is not excepted.
In the afternoon class, we studied the technique of speech for election campaign. The U.S, the Britain and Japan are respectively in an election season. It will decide the way how deeply we would be intertwined in the international society expecially in regard with the national security. Therefore I'm really interested in those process.
After I took the lesson, I asked my teacher about Japanese party leaders. I simpley wondered whether they made a speech as competitive as the counterpart overseas. He apologized me that he was not familiar to Japanese elections and had no idea. As he lives in Japan, left his noneligiblity to it out of consideration, why does he count out referring to the local situation?
I think comparison is always an effective way to learn English for people who have already established own identity through the local language. Some native teacher obviously lacks to make an effort for that. They seem to believe they are worth just being an English native. Sometimes they charge on chatting, which is definitely not a lesson. Whenever I see them, I recall girls who regards themselves commercially valuable because they are young. Efforts are paying off. Definitely not for existance.
>>581 ・2行目 followed by one who manages to speak English reasonably well ・As he lives in Japan, left his noneligiblity to it out of consideration, why does he count out referring to the local situation? 私の英語力不足のせいかもしれぬが、意味わからなかった。
It was scary to be demanded what day I would be free. It started one phone call from aestetic salon a few days ago. As she had said that she will offer me a 1-day discounted visitor course, I happened to make an appointment from curiosity.
Today I realised that the day I promised was occupied by another appointment and I gave a phone call to move the date to another. Then suddenly she was on rage and cursed me in a loud voice. The manager shouted aloud that I really wanted to lose weight. I responded to her carefully that I had prefered to do so.
She blamed me repeatedly even before we had concluded any contracts. I apologized her while I had already determined not to go there. Although I thought no customer would come there, one of my friends made me surprised that it is still a kind of effective way to gather people, saying the violent way could serve to sell their products expecially the vulnerables and They can pursuade the customer because they firmly convince that they do a good thing for their customers. what a nuisance! I hardly believed such a way would accomplish the purpose at all and I was relieved that I finally could hang up the line.
It was awful that Sudan Islam militia, backed by the government had been ravaging mamy black people. I couldn't explain with my limited vocablary but it's just awful. People are expeled from own home as well as their rice field, and entrenched in a small village without substance, requiring them to take any from outside under the situation that any men going out were killed and any women were raped. Reportedly women take the mission because it seems better to be raped than be killed. No one can make crops, the season is getting tough. Desperate.
Any means should be taken to change it. But the U.S. and other international organization had been ignored it because the case would demand a lot of expense without any interest.
I would not survive in that situation both mentally and physically. The next article about it was Japanese secluded children, addicted to computer game. They are also the member of people who can't survive.
>>585 I don't understand the situation well. Did she get mad only because you told her you wanted to change your appointment? You didn't say (at first) you wouldn't go there, did you?
>>588 >Did she get mad only because you told her you wanted to change your >appointment? Right. >You didn't say (at first) you wouldn't go there, did you? Until I was threatened, I just felt to have a try. That's why I did make the appointment.
I have been bombarded by the job offer since the staff agency had canceled. It seems that they owe me so much that they scrambled to input that information on their computer networks.
On average I get calls for three offers a day. But all of them have been out of point by now. The place, time, period, work, total estimated overwork.. not to mention money. I feel they are desperate to compensate me by any means.
Hitomi Soga, one of the repatriated abductee was reunited with her husband and daughters. Watching the footage that her family descends from the chartered plane, My heart went out to them.
What will they face from now on? Do they need to live in Jakarta for a year or more? I thought if I had forced to stay there, I couldn't bear. Under unfamiliar surroundings, I had to acclimate myself to the new life. It would give me a second thought whether I really want to reunite my family or not. I prefer to be in Japan. If I forced to uprooted from my own land by any reason, I would wither. After I apologized to my possible Jenkins, I may find another partner to avoid any risks caused by moving abroad.
Then I admire Ms.Soga very much because of having her family in the foreign land with foreign culture and raising her daughters. She flowered the uprooted herself into blossom there. I imagine how desparate process it had been. But she made headway. Time don't move backward. Then she will forced to live in Jakarta. I feel poignant where she feel secured finally.
The other former abductees rectified the intingent historical error by coming back to Japan. Their North Korean-born children are willing to naturalize in Japan. They are struggling to fill in the blank of the years in which they were abducted. Was that a blank?
Maybe I have more cat-like personality, according to the Japanese old usage. It says that cats stick to place and dogs stick to people so much that when they were moved, cats will back to the place they used to live while dogs will not.
The problem will be alliviated if the relationship between North Korea and Japan is neutrized. I hope the long feud would end sooner and give both nationals peace not to produce expatriate any more.
I've just finish watching a film, Reality Bites, the product in 90's. It depicted the struggling youth to figure out their identification. While they have a good educational background, they were not able to find suitable place in society, They tried to figure out what they are through reality.
Looking back my schooldays, sometimes I feel strange that my friends and I were in the same start. We were almost in same conditions to choose our life. I am just astonished what a deversified course we took one in another.
I feel I am curving my figure from crude material. As I was always myself, still I know I'm in the process of what I really is. It is same as my friends. They are changing, but the way they are is enhancing year by year. The other day my friends apologized me that she felt sorry that she had did ten years before. The defect still entails her but it doesn't matter. Becausee it is a part of her.
I laughed at the returns from the elections because it was exactly same as I had thought, not for the JDP victory but for my jinx. There is a jinx when I vote for the Upper House, which I always vote the party that can't maintain their seat. For example, I was a fan of the former transport minister, Chikage Ohgi. She was a controversial person that didn't solve the accumulated deficit of the Highway corporation. But I admired her brisk personality and good posture as woman. At any rate, only one seat was secured by them and then and finally the party was dismissed in the midst of the session. Meanwhile I don't like to vote the party that will be sure to win. So my jinx might come about as a natural consequence.
Sitting on a lim of perched fountain, among many office workers able to find their place around the fountain, we ate lunch at noon.
Though the Tokyo Electric Power Co. announced last week that we would not run out of electricity this year, like the previous year when we had suffered from a shortage in supply due to the suspension of nuclear power, I think it is not reliable because every hot summer requires huge electricity. They tried to tell us it would not get hotter from now on?
The waterworks department seems to have another idea, which brought them to control the level of water in the fountain.
Any shortage of the basic infrastracture bothers our life. I hope that the TEPCO would not overestimate their forecast and not to waste the resourse without consideration.
The book I borrowed from the library was on the Partition in India: indipendent event in 1947 from the Britain, leading to separate Hindus from Muslims in Pakistan, bringing refugees expatriate to the supposed land caused tragedy of dismantled families. From the line, I can read of how dire the situation was and understand why they have been scarmishing in the west part of India. I imagined how they were expeled their own land under the pressure of authorities.
To move indigenous people who inherited their land after long successions of ancestors are kind of convulsion of nature, from which all feud derives. Though lands are limited on nature, Asian have solved the matter living in small spaces with relatives at dispense of privacy. Land were so important for expecially farmers that most Asians used to be.
But what I can do is just to feel sorry for them, knowing that background. Until now I am not familiar with the Partition in India than in Korea even though I studied the subject of world history in my school days. It spares further ancient history in Asia, the days in advent of culture and Modern history mostly refers to the relationship between our country and the western countries. But it has to increase the pages more among each Asian countries as the interexchange inside is promoted. Then no Indonesian would not say that they don't know about the problem of abductees and cooperate with us.
Nowadays, Sumo wrestling is very interesting. Today was the 12th day out of supposed 15 days bouts. If a wrestler lose over 8 bouts in the tornament, he will determined as loser in this session.
I have two favorite wrestlers. Asasyoryu and Takamisakari. Asasyoryu is the defending champion, who has been won for the last two session. He was said to lack necessary skills as champion at first. ButI have thought he had managed to sweep two winning streaks so we can appriciate him to have sufficient quality to be champion. He is from Mongolia so susceptible to be argue maybe.
But he is confronting a very difficult situation now. He lost the bout since the day before yesterday. Today he was judged as loser after long discussion of leferees. I doubt whethere they are preferable to Japanese wrestlers. I like any person who make efforts to succeed. Especially he is a foreigner so the effort must be more than the ordinal ones. If he loses more, he would be doubted his quality again. I hope he will show an overwhelming strength in today's bout.
I couldn't spare the space for Takamisakari. Maybe in another time.
I didn't imagine that garlic has tremendous power to that extent. As I eat grilled garlic during winter to prevent from catching cold, I didn't hesitate to eat dried garlic presented as a souvenir packed in a big vinyl bag that we hardly saw in our neighborhood.
Every piece of the brown seeds crisped in my mouse with great joy of appetite. I stopped eating it before I numerated up to 30 pieces for fear that I swallow them entirely. In the afternoon, something unusual happened to me. The gas got strongly smelled garlic. No joking. Then my breath was tinted with them alike.
It has continued so heavily still now that my family teases my overeating, quotes, "it will sustain till the day after tomorrow." He imformed me of garlics generally soak into our veins, causing long lasted smell. I suppose I am not allowed to breathe in front of anyone, let alone to speak to them for a while.
>>599 I just want to know about the garlic effect more. Did it affect only the smell of your breath? Weren't there any other effects? Didn't you get nausea? Did you sleep well? And how about your sexual activity? Didn't you get horny?
Thank you for having interest in my topic. I'm sure I have the story to tell you.
Though I had told that I should avoid eating any more, I rather thought that it might better to eat up right at that time - as soon as possible, because we were in a three-day-long holiday that allowed me to talk to family members. Then I have carried out. You might admit it was a true gorgious experience but as you may see, accompanying awful nightmere.
No sooner had I waked up today than I was complained that the smell was dissipated all night around. Still it seems it emits the faulest air everybody can sense all but me. I have been optimistic it won't last till next Tuesday, when I will work as a makeshift receptionist of an international conference, a job which the staff agency had finally assigned to me.
Sometimes distinctive odors are said to be a reason to be bullied at schools. But what kind of them can be worth to be discriminated in class? I thought it was just excuse to find a scapegoat there and the alleged smell should be torelable likewise the ones of ordinally people.
Now I understand it, with evaporating garlic ingredient from every pore to pore, it exists. I had been just lucky not to eat so many foods with strong flavor. Though I didn't get any nausea and any other remarkable effects, I don't recommend you that you eat a entire bag of dried garlic at one time.
The third days in a row I have been stinky at all. The complainment to the smell, culminating as to be expressed "violence", is deepening the chasm between my family.
Researchers said that personal odor is designed to shun excessive inbreedings. They had 100 subjects for the test of smell. Half of them were men in T-shirt who were supposed to do exersise in order to put their sweat on the wear. Later the rest of them, women, sniffed the smell and chose the most favorable one and the opposite. The result shows that the further their hometown was, the more preferable the odor become to each participants. Nature encourages people to have bleedings with the people who have different alleys of DNA as possible to make more flexible to survive changing surroundings. The scientists said the most desiable partner didn't feel the odor of each other distinctively.
I like this theory because it sounds it is a fate to meet my partner. Meanwhile, I have had a question about this theory. Some are quite accurate to sense odors like my former roommate, who was always complaining when I forgot to put trush out. Other are totally noncharant to any smells. I had been astonished that a young lady was eating snacks in lady's restroom at a station. Reportedly more girls live in scattered rooms in contrast with their beautifully make-uped faces. It suggests that women are evolving tougher to our environment further more?
Anyway I thought I might have had a best partner in the world, the smell are threatening the fate designed by nature.
After I came back to Japan, I have been watching TV. I want to catch up with what happens in Japan, including topics of singers and actors/actresses. Everything is bran-new for me. Who is KABA chan and, more interestingly, why are Japanese TV channels occupied by Korean programmes? However, I was falling love with Yon-sama. He is definitely cute!!!! …….I have nothing to write. Merci!
I found it interesting that of the sales chart on the Japanese bookstores in which a series of anthology on digested famous classic works are enjoying popularity it is announced that a new installment of them is to release, "Classic Comicbook 101" or something if I put its name in English It includes, for example, Kyojin-no-hoshi, well-known success story about a baseball player and so forth,
I have known the other 101 books attracts busy people for a while but didn't expect the version of manga emerged. Although the series are published to aim at young generation for the first time, the older people are virtually buying them as common knowledge.
I admit that some famous comic book is very important for broader understanding of culture, especially in the days of remade movies are producing one after another. No one would deny that almost all Japanese know the original script of the new movie "Cutie Honey", which debuted in 1973 as animated film on TV and now remade into live-action movies starring Eriko Sato, who is one of the hottest actress in Japan. The company shows that their inclination to remake other works in 1960-70's and believe it will attract a lot of people to the theatre.
I think the main reason that so many Japanese know the story of famous animated films commonly is basically the range of option for TV Channel was quite limited before. In addition that Japan is an easy place to earn high audience rate due to its narrow land, there used to be few TV station, which allow almost everyone available to know the storyline at least. Then if you were behind the latest mode, terrible matters would have happened. You were regarded as a person short of the common knowledge and couldn't join chatting in that age.
The situation is improving and diversity of taste is spreading but sometimes I feel that we are still in the very closed community to demand knowing trivial things. When I didn't know the abbribiation of latest TV drama, "Seka-tyu"- the short form of "Sekai no tyushin de ai wo sakebu", translated it tantatively as "I cried out at the center of the world" I'm really embarassed. I caught up the fashion, reading the book at a convienience store in any way.
Anyway while the other line of the anthology about classic Japanese literature hit the record-high, I have no idea that it will also follow them, waiting for the result of it, hopefully its success.
No one can deny that in your childhood you swam in an empty public bath with full of hot water whether it was when you had an excursion to a remote touristic site suitable for pupils or it was when you spent a night with your friends at a mountainous youth house though teachers were sure to caution you against bother others.
I am tolerant therefore for children to play in the public bath unless they splash to me heavily. The seemingly 2-3 year-old girl was accompanied with her mother. Sooner I understand she loved water because sometimes she tried to put her face into water. After she was scolded by her mother by trying to drink it, she started to run in circle inside the bathtub. When she was approaching in my outreach, she might have attempted to swim again. She ducked under water.
Sudden move snatched to scoop her all at once from a distance. With embarrased grin on her face, I saw her mother bringing the girl under her arms. As I answered to her grin slightly, I didn't understand what had happen. On the remote side of the bathtub, the girl was heavily coughing and I heard her saying, almost excusing that the bottom of the pool was easy to skid or something.
She was nearly drowned right before my eyes! I was surprised how easy children can be in danger by water. In summer time there is few day when we don't listen to news on the casualities of water, most of whom are under age of five. I was ashamed that I didn't reconized the accident at a glance and swore to pay attention more to any children around me.
Sometimes I admire a number of senior citizens bravely move on the road with automatic wheelchair, certainly whose number has been increasing. I have recognized it as a slow moped that I used to enjoy driving wherever I like. I was informed today, however, that because it is an applience to nurse old people disabled their limbs, it doesn't require any driving licenses.
Running on the road is quite difficult. Even though the wheelchair is designed as the slow pace of 6 kms as pedestrians walk, we can imagine quite a few cases in danger the driver would be exposed. Firstly it can be occured owing to the disability the driver suffers from. If they stumble over a curb, they can't stand the chair again. I think people should not be allowed to drive any vehicles which they can't stand by theirselves like large size motorbikes. You would be amazed if you know that there's few instruction to start to use it by staff from nursery homes. Secondly the assumed driver has a difficulty to tackle with contingency that come across very quickly. Neither they can master something new that needs more training for a certain period.
I worried about its safety a lot but it also has advantage. It allows the old people to join society on their own and I know the feeling of freedom from my experience. Traffic means change our lives. I imagine what I will do if my parants start to ride on it since just a moment they are trying to take safety measure for example not to drive after dark considering their age.
It shows many problems but if we use it wisely, it will help us a lot. More considerable measure by authority is supposed to be given it because welfare is very important next to economy.
In order to make a transaction at KIOSK, I tried using my SUICA - Super Urban Intelligent Card, a IC-equipped JR pass - for the first time. It was introduced almost one year ago at the gate of stations and it has passed a few months since I found its registers at the store there. They say that more than 6 million people are users and the number has been increasing rapidly.
I made a smooth shift from my magnetic type JR pass to the one with IC tag because the system seemed interesting, that we can go past JR gates just by holding it over the sensor. it took me a few month to use it at store for a while. It is because it looks like credit cards, which I hesitate to use except for unusual occasions, such as when I travel abroad.
I don't like to get used to credit cards for fear that I would happen to overuse and overdue. Coins and bills are honest. If they left me, c'est ca y est. In contrast, Cards are not. It gives an illusion of having more money. I remember when I had forgot the due day once, that was a fearful experience. As I noticed that my account was short for a certain amount, I remit it to the designated account after I gave a call to the person in charge. To make the matter worse, I happened to send it in a bit slower way, what is called Yubin Hurikomi due to its cheaper transaction fee. The following day, I got a phone call from them even though it was weekends so I had to explain about my remittance in a tremble voice responsing to a man who speak with very big voice. I never want to endure such a feeling like sitting on a mat made of needles.
Anyway I found the IC card was very convienient. It withdraws so instantly after I touchs on the pad at the casher that I don't need to be passed the small money ahead of a long queue having others waited behind. As staring the cards remained one-digit of deposits in odd number, I thought about whether I can get along with it or not.
The torrid summer has continues, hitting the record-high 39.5 degrees, which definitely decreases one's apetite so much that the regular recipe for summer has came across on our table, to keep taking in energy and indespensable nutrients somehow against the fight to the heat. Every summer I get more concious about what I eat. It is also this season that I take suppliment pills with vitamine and iron to prevent feeling dim in the sun.
As staple, I have been eating soumen and hiyashityuka every day instead of rice. It is because we hardly eat up all of the rice I cook in the morning which soon goes bad. Corns and soybeans in pods also frequently appear as the price of them is getting down, approaching to their high season. We have more summer vegetables like egg plants, cucumber and tomatoes. I make salty pickle using them with Japanese ginger as seasoning. Kimuti is another taste in summer, while I hardly eat other hot food these days such as curry. Then grapefruit, the most favorite fruits of mine, though my families prefer to eat ice-cold watermelons as desert. When it comes to desert, we shouldn' forget ice shavings with colorful syrups. It become delicious as it gets hotter.
While I am worrying about the number of ingredients I am taking in is shorter than the one in guideline designated by the public health center, which require us eating more than 30 food a day, it is also true that I am enjoying the food exclusive in summer time, whose heat is also one of the ingrediant of food. So far I am in good shape in spite of this extraordinally heat. I hope I keep the pace till the end of summer.
I was gave a lot of homework by my English teacher yesterday. The text of one of homework is to write diary in English. One of my friend said "I am going to use エキサイト翻訳, So I am not having uneasiness." He will translate the diary written in Japanese by it.
Sometimes I imagine what I would do if I won the first prise of $200 million in lottery though I hardly buy it, thinking it will never happen. I would use one third, save one third and I don't know the rest of it. It changes depending on my whim, allowing me to imagine a range of possibility more, challenging a question that what people can do with money.
When I was in the former workplace, people get together to increase the possibility. The person responsible in the HR department circulated the rules like we would divide the antie equally but he would take the least commition of $2, that everyone can get buying 10 tickets worthwhile $20 respectively. We never won.
So I was surprised that someone who has won the first place gave the total $200 to the areas devastated by torrential rains in Fukui prefecture. The person send a letter enveloped the winning ticket under anonymity. What a couragious man he is! I asked myself whether I could do it or not.
Among the set of audiobook, Da Vinci Cord, I got into the fourth installment our of six. The book is written about misteries over historical truth of Christianity staged in Paris. Now almost third big misteries has supposedly been solved and got into the climax. Why supposedly? Because there are some probrems to comprehend it.
Not mention to the shortage of ability in English, the simbliest but biggest hinderance, it contains many French words including French accents. The crucial words are always spoken in French, for example the name of the key, the name of groups, name of the mystery itself. I can guess what it would suggest following the context but feel frustrated.
Though I want to confirm some words consulting original script, I have no way to get it soon. It is expensive for me as I hardly read English books througn the end. It is bothersome if I ask at a library counter to reserve it behind the queue who has been waiting before me. For Japanese version, the librarian said that there are more than 50 people on the waiting list. I will not keep my motivation such a long time.
Then I searched ebooks online. It was not a hard job. Moreover, I was able to get a few pages of scripts at the beginning, which astonished me that I had skipped so many words for my understanding.
There were more unfamiliar words related to churches. If I start to read, I have to look into the dictionary until it bother me to continue reading. The story has been so intriguing that it might have enabled me to complete. I decided to wait till the popularity of the book will recede to find the detail. It will be a fun to find what important storyline I had missed now and give me double amusement at the book.
The other day I was assigned to be a photographer in the summer festival in my neiborhood. The leader in her 50's knocked on my door and reasoned that I had a camera otherwise a degital one. Not knowing the technology, she seemed to feel more confortable with traditional cameras. With pleasure, I accepted it. If there is something to volanteer, it is worth doing.
When I saw the films developped and organised neatly in albums later, I noticed that those reflected our relationship very well. Though I tried to take the participants impartially, there were children I missed. The ones who knew me were laughing to the finder cheerfully while the ones who are unfamiliar were just sitting with frozen smile, which were not attractive to be bought by them when those photos would be circulated. As they behaved happily at that time, the still frame was talking a lot.
There were two more photographers and their photos were also talking a lot. One took photos including sceanery more, the other seemed to love to take photos by having people ligned in front of his camera. I was impressed that such a mere daily photos revealed everything from the inside of photo takers like his personalities, how to recognize the world and what temperatures he lives in. I didn't think of such qualifications required there except for technical problems.
The baby downstair is getting older, getting his first aniversary in autumn. I can hear her bubbling something at their window. When she was born, her parents came to my door and excused me if they would bother me after that. I have no problem. I love babies.
Her crying makes me think that people can change somehow in the course. Her mother and I does not get along before. She complained time to time that our steps were careless and noisy. She has very hysteric voice, yelling "unconceivable!"
We have lived the old and clamsy apartment longer than her, so she should have time to examine if she can tolerate it or not -- she said, "This is our first experience to live in a complexed housing." And looked as if she owned the property. Everything was not neat as she had expected.
It stopped just after she had a baby. The baby was a blessing for both her and me. Sometimes it is good to bother the others in order to forgive them.
ive been alone at home at moment, cos my flatmates gone on a trip for 1 month. we didnt talk each other much, but u know, its different between some1 is here and completely alone. sigh, wish i had TV. then i also can learn english as well. but i cant pay for tv license. its too much....
An effective method to learn English has been spread through 2channel English board. That's called GE.A lot of people have read about the method in about a year.I think they like it very much. What's most outstanding is, GE needs DVDs to study English. I was so surprised first that GE recommend to us to use DVDs, that I couldn't believe it was useful. That, however, turned out to be nice! Now I enjoy watching DVDs and studying English! I like to get across how good GE is to anyone who tried English but failed it before.
TV news said that a tyhoon is going to hit Japan today, staying a while, then going through the vicinity of Osaka. It rained a little where I live a little while ago, but it stopped. So it's cool now though in summer! Speaking of rain, I like watching raining cats and dogs while I'm in my house.I don't know what makes me feel so, but I feel more comfortable inside my room than walking on sidewalks when it's rainy, because rain drops seem absolutely beautiful only when I'm watching them from inside through a window. It feels bad to get wet, though. Don't you like rain drops?
Do you like baseball? I mean Japanese professional baseball, not MLB.If you like it, then you should know the players who belong to the organization and the fans of them are against turning the two leagues into a league. Accordint to papers, the owners of the baseball teams are eager to make it possible for the leagues to merge! I, for one, am on the player's side. It's not fair to decide on the merger without their consent. Those players have the right to fight againt the merciless tyrants. The owners shouldn't turn their back on the players, because there's a promise they can't ignore, describing employees can strike if the owners try to behave freely. And if they ignore the players, it means the top dogs disregard the buffs of them as well. If those who have loved the baseball league doesn't want to go to stadium any more because they hate the owners, it's the filthy self-oriented presidents who will destroy baseball in Japan itself! So I want them to revoke the rubbish decidion they made only by themselves.
What would you do if your computer is infected with computer virus? And how can you tackle it when you notice your computer has any of it because it crushes and freezes so often? The reason I ask you such questions is because my PC seems as if it's infected with some sort of computer virus. I can't remember when, but speakers which belonged to my PC seemed to break down. No sounds can be heard from the speakers if I turn them up. What should I do? I'm helpless. I'll try initialize my PC as a last resort, but I'm wondering whether it helps the seemingly broken-down speakers work properly again?
Let me introduce one of my favorite novel writers. It's Kishi Yusuke. He's recently released a book titled Garasu-no-Hammer, or the Hammer made of glass. He tried a thrilling mystery though he's never written one before. The expression he made that you come across in the book can make you feel as if you saw what's written right before you. He has a way with words. And what's more, he seems to be a 2 chan-neler, I mean he seems to love 2channel like we do. That's because he put in the book a character who uses this BBS for some purpose that's important to him. Isn't it interesting to think a famous writer like him may post something here? Of couse, he may have not come to English Board, though. Anyway, I've come to like him more than I used to. And I strongly recommend you read him.
I saw a black cat suddenly jumping on a white dog in my neighborhood today. And then the cat clawed the dog repeatedly. The dog whined feebly before trying to get away from the bossy cat, only to fail. I felt sorry for it so I rounded on them to take the strong cat away from the weak dog. But the cat hissed horribly as if it would tackle me, so I gave it up. The miserable dog seemed as if it sheded tears, no more struggling. I couldn't forget it.
Two Japanese jarnalists were reportedly shot to death in Iraq. It's been more than a year since the iraq war began and 11 months have rapidly gone by since the bogus end of the war. We need to know what it's like in Iraq now. That's why I agree with Jarnalists who bother to go there and try to show us the case.
How is Iraqi people's way of life now? What the Bush administration has always told us is true? Why the Iraqi people who were taken into costody were tortured? And even now?
Jarnalists try to answer these questions. That's what they don't care to put themselves even in jeopardy for. We need to keep an eye on what's going on there.
Rain today was extraordinary due to its repeated intermittence. One was not able to prospect when a spell of rain breaks. At the station, I was caught in a shower and waited its passing among dismayed people. Some dush into, while other open their umbrellas.
It was also a rainy day when I had sold my mope. I advertised the sale at an bullyin board in an international center in order to help foreign students in financial plight.
But the person who gave me a call was a Japanese freshman of a college. He told me it was the first experience to have a mope. Not knowing what might happen without a raincoat, he couldn't rearrange the day of appointment, excusing he was busy, and insist in taking it back to home on it.
From the pitiness he might get, I gave him my raincoat unwillingly. After some trial to move the mope, he thanked me and left there with content. Of course he didn't expect my consideration and would have survived without my help.. The person who don't take precaution is really troublesome.
On the other hand, I know some people don't want any civilian go to Iraq. True, some of the Iraqi tribal terrorists have been attacking the American army, which is often positioned in areas where conflicts have broken out. What's more, even some civilians from overseas have been set upon by them!
What I have in mind, however, is that if no one tells you there're conflicts between the local people and the army dispatched there, you couldn't tell how the American army behaves and what the Iraqi people 're really dying for. Jarnalists may put us straight if there's false information broadcast all oyer the world. We need to know what Iraq has become of as it is now, since there's possibilities that we'll turn a blind eye toward what takes place because of the false assurance everything may be going perfectly well if we don't know it. In fact, some medical team which had arrived somewhere near a former conflict place in Iraq, was blocked from coming to the helpless iraqi people by the gun barrage from the American force. I had no idea why the civilians trying to save people were treated like that. It was up to Jarnalists for us to be able to know what's really going on.
That's why I'm for jarnalists reporting what's cooking there.
I'm hungry now, because I skipped dinner in the evening. No reason why I did so, but I felt it was only a hassle. Word of mouth often said tha it's not healthy to eat at mid night. So I gave up even snack. What would you do if you were me?
I was a supporter of Lotte Marines in the Pacific League as a child. I was taken to outfield bleachers in the stadium with my family. As little as the time to be broadcasted on TV, I was satisfied with it. Neither Giants nor Tigars attracts me. It looks more involved in commercialism.
But the seemingly noncharanct attitude to the profit brought them about reverse results. After the planned merger between the Kintetsu Buffaloes and Orix BlueWave, the number of teams in the PL will decrease into 10, which reportedly will lead both leagues they join in might unite into one.
Considering staggaring annual losses of about 4 billion yen in Buffaloes, the rearrangement must be inevitable to accomodate themselves as a corporate. It is surprising that they have compensated its deficit by the advertisement expenditure of owner company so far. For the reason for their tight economy, I think soaring salaries for players are ressponsible.
An average baseball players make an annual salary of about 40 million yen. I know their retirement age is so younger than the other workers that they need it. When we look around the other sports, however, the players managed to play with lower salalies. Though the baseball is the most popular sports in Japan, they can think twice. I believe the one who loves the sports should remain on the field if anything.
I watched " Asamade-Nama TV" until 4 in the morning, which means I didn't watched it at the end. Almost all the things participants discussed was not new to me as long as I knew, because some of them had been talking about them on other TV programs. But one thing is different. It's that Furuta Atuya, who's one of most famous baseball players in Japan, appeared on the program, representing other players. What he said to the others sounded very convincing to me. The great chatcher now argued that the owners of the professinal baseball teams in Japan must keep the two leagues as it was now. I don't want to write the reasons he told the other opponents, and I can't do it because of my limited English. But I think the selfish owners must discuss the merger problem with the empoyees!
You should read articles on news papers if you like to know more. Hope democracy will win in the end!
Mr.Miyake, a political critic, praised his personality including his comments, and then promised to make an oppotunity to see NABETUNE. otherwise, he criticized LIVEDOOR's president's appearance, the sense of his clothing, of course didn`t promised him because of it.
The authority rearranged a set of Kanji for names following the pressure people had applied. It has been controvercial for a long time because the former proposed set included ones which had absolutely bad meaning for example to curse, to shit and so forth while it missed to include ones with classical Japanese virtue peaple wanted to use.
The new set has got better, still with some imappropriate kanji like skelton, tumb. I believe they also should be deleted soon. The commitee may expect people that they won't use them for always. No way. Some will use them.
Recently young couple has placed an importance more on sound than meaning while they might count the number of constitutes in the kanjis they use for a good fortune The new evolved generation will be sure come who don't mind the meaning totally. Some would think its course of nature, but I would not admit.
The authority has responsibility to keep public morale. I think we need a guideline least. If kanji lost its meaning and just become a symbol, we would lose part of our culture. It is no better to be safe than sorry.
Last night around 1:30am I spoke to a girl who was really attractive. I was roaming a town to pick up a girl to have a drink with. She told me she wasn't available cuz she wanted to go home and sleep, So we gave our numbers each other.
I was thinking to call her up tonight or something but she gave me a call around 4am. We talked for a few minutes and then she said she was looking for a person who speaks Chinese to employ at her company. She said she was running her own one.
So I asked what kind of things the company does but she didn't answer and then I asked if she needs a person who speaks English, She said she needed. Then I asked again what the compay does, but she refused to say again, she told me if I really want to know, I've got to see her today. If I showed up, she would inform me.
I woke up after seeing a nightmere just now. In the dream, I dropped on in a hospital to see my friend who worked there.
When I was seated at the waiting room, I happened to be exposed radiation and given a X-ray picture, which showed my constipation. The doctor explained me that my bowel formed so complicated that cause constipation flequently. He proposed to administer a effective laxative to clean it if I had time.
I took the pill and select a cubicle with DVD because the doctor said it would take time. I watched a movie there on the history of olympic till 4 o'clock in the morning, when the hospital closed. People working there told me that they needed to lock the building and asked me if I could bear off. I had no choice.
I suddenly realized I had to give a call to home from a public phone. After hesitation, I called my father what was happening there on the line. He told me that one of my friend was looked for her purse. I remembered I had brought it for secure when she left it on the table, which could make me regarded as a robber. I was shocked to think of it and wanted to excuse her but I didn't carry my cellular phone and no other means to contact to her. Even if I had had, time would have been bad in the early morning. I was vexed to imagine how she was in trouble and may grumble me. I wanted to settle that problem sooner but I was marooned there. The clock was moving slowly as I had never seen.
After I was allowed to leave the hospital, it was snow. Delayed trains irritated me again in a platform where TV crews who came there to report it. They held out a microphone to me for comments. I was embarrased to be seen the friend on TV. After I started to excuse her saying what happened last night reluctantly, I thought that I should not have talked about it in the air. Whether I should refuse talking suddenly or tell a lie to finish it smoothly, I couldn't decide it soon and forced to reveal my terrible experience last night, feeling hurt.
This dream was the most scary one since I had dreamed about my English teacher's wife. At that time, I was nearly killed by her. When I told about it to him, he was scared at me to have such a dream. I wanted to explain to him I didn't desire to see it on my will, by contrast, she was willing to come up to me on her. She is the one who should be critisized not to bother the others at night. Then I admitted he was absolutely true. Nightmere is also the matter I arrange for myself. I like to have myself promised not to terrify myself any more if I can.
I'm gonna keep a diary af of today. I don't know how long I will be able to keep it because I've given it up many times... Anyway, this is my another new day!
What I'm trying to write here is not a diary. I really want to ask you readers a big favor.
My PC seems to have a problem. When I try to type in Japanese, my PC freezes. I don't know why.. Anyway, I did get my PC initialised a week or two ago, hoping it would solve the problem, only to fail. What am I supposed to do to get it work properly? If you know any web site that shows me how to patch up the problem, please let me know..
I know some of you here know a lot about PCs along with English, so I decided to post this message. I hope you'll help me.
you may be have a big problem... typying Japanese word makes your pc freeze... this is very difficult. it is better way for you to call your pc-maker or shop you bought it. And you had better go to PCthread, there is only English specialist in this thread.
>And you had better go to PCthread, there is only English specialist in this thread. I thought the same way as you did. Readers in PC threads may not even give a quick look at what's written in English.(As I said, I can't type in Japanese now..)
Well, I'll get on the phone sometime tomorrow. Thank you, anyway.
The victory of Japanese Judo in the Athen Olympic was terrific and admirable. 3 of the athletes won gold medals, which are totally tributes of every day practice. We, all English learners can sympacize how it is difficult to keep motivation to train ourselves. After achieving goals you set, if anything, equivalent to what your gold medal, it is especially get difficult.
You would concentrate into your job. You can be a coach to guide the next generation, or you might try to learn other lauguage, with your brilliant background.
Yes, there were many friends who have studied with me before. Sometimes I envy them because they simply say they rearranged their life course. Till when I study English? The question is crutial, related to my life design. Still confused, I applaud their victory.
I came my parents' home today. "Hey, she is a pregnant!" "Oh, My sister! Really? I think she is a child.", I said. "Me, too." "How old is she?" "Francoise is only one year old!"
"Oh, My sister!"だけ創作の妹との会話の英訳。 Francoiseはいつもはフランと呼んでるうちのネコでした。
I've been in my parents' house. "I've got a mail from Tuchiya.",my sister said. I know Tuchiya is her boyfriend. "Ha."I was reading a newspaper. "He said he has a new girl friend." "What?" I couldn't read. "Oh,don't you know? I dumped him two month ago." "No. He has been mailing you?" "Yes." Young people.
>>666 came my parents' home -> came to my parents' home she is a pregnant -> she is pregnant I think she is a child. -> I thought she was a child. (子供だと思ったわ、と過去形の ほうが自然と思う) >>667 "Ha." -> "Yes?" くらいの応答なのかな。"Ha"だとどういうニュアンスかいまいちわからん。 two month ago -> two months ago
it's my wonder this thread's still going on... i am somebody in the past message last year. may be something in me has changed from the one in the last summer, and that's a greater change for me now im enjoying this summer better. (strange? tee hee.. september,just a little summer left for me only) actually, everything around my life has changed completely since last summer. but i still love summer. her sizzling shine dries my bitter tears off and leaves me sweet chocolates. so i love her forever. thank you and i know i miss you,summer.
I started aikido, one of Japanese martial arts to learn how to defend myself. The art is unique because it is not to fight back against the contender but to fend off the attack. I want to tackle with people as early as possible though my teacher keeps me away from it. He says that I have to wait until I learn Ukemi, a defensive form. I practice every time just roll myself forward on the mat to master it. It is boring. I have started to doubt I would never participate the game not able to learn Ukemi because of my awkward body - not the one lithe.
Today I joined a free conversation class for the first time. The school I had a contract offers the one except for the regular class. The topic was about fish. The Austrarian teacher told that he detested eating fish though he went fishing as a boy. While I said that we don't eat goldfish and carps, another girl mentioned black bass for sports fishing. The teacher didn't know that kind of fish.
The other day in a regular class, when I used a word "retaliation", he could not imagine what I meant. He also didn't come up with a word I mentioned as a kind of nail, which initial is p" If he is a real native speaker, he must have imagined from his abundant vocabrary.
The talk was boring and I now doubt that his size of vocabrary might be quite small.
Another boring day is ending. All I did today was to watch and play on 2ch. Although I had to study to prepare for the test tomorrow, All I did today was to watch and play on 2ch.
I went to a zoo yesterday with my boyfriend. Now I still can't let what I saw there out of my head. I mean ....that gorilla. He ate something and then threw it up, and ate what he just threw up. He repeat it over and over. What was he thinking? So disgusting. Anyway yesterday's date was not so romantic.
Yesterday I had to meet people who started to dislike me. I almost cancelled it because of my sudden stamachache.
At my office, I consulted my collegue that I was reluctant to meet them. She knew well about them. She said, "they are flexible and don't prolong bad feeling for a long time. Go talk and pretend nothing happened."
Encouraged by her words, I had a meeting with them. But I just felt they are disgusting. One of them told me that he wanted to quit relationship to our company. I sincerely apologized him and promised to consider his interest more.
It was a hard day. After I got home when I saw the holoscope in the newspaper, I found that the day was the worst day in this year. Somehow I was relieved that the bad experience totally owed to the stars and I went into sleep, believing tomorrow must be a better day.
I went to a movie theater for the first time in these several years. It was a so-called cinema complex that joined a shopping mall. I was so impressed that its efficient business to offer us entertainment besides a movie itself. For example it equips with a range of fastfood restaurants and game centers. We can easily kill our time, waiting the time the movie would start. The reservation system for the seat is also useful. I felt it was very gorgeous.
In the midst of the movie we saw, a boy behind me suddenly started to cry. Firstly sobbing, he cried more heavier as time passed. As I turned around to see him, I found he had no gardian such as his father or mother. I approached him out of my seat, saying what was going on.
He told me wearily his father left him for toilet. I gave him a sheet of gum and assured him that his father would come back.
Soon his father appeared and apologized me. After I was seated myself, I heard he complained to his son, saying a male should not cry.
I felt sorry for his son. For children, loneliness must be intolerable. Especially a boy is more sensitive than a girl to a certain age. Mother would never let his son feel lonely. I thought how different it must be the way of raising up their child between mothers and fathers.
I have suffered from depression for over two months.
At first, I was ashamed of going to see a psychiatist, becuase Japanese people tend to think that the person who goes to see a psychiatist is weak,crazy,and have a bad genetic defect. So many people who need mental treatments usually keep it secret.
That's why I was unwilling to go to see a doctor. But my mental condition didn't get better, just lying on my bed. And finally I decided to go to see a psychiatist.
>>684 よく書けてると思います。 the person who goes to see a psychiatist のthe personはa personですね。
あと、口語的には、go see a doctorというように、to抜きで使われ方が 多いですね。
あと、go to see と言う表現が4回も使われているので、ちょっとしつこい 感じがします。表現をちょっと変えて、例えば、 ashamed of going to see a psychiatist,→ashamed of having to see a psychiatrist. who goes to see a psychiatist -> who gets phychiatric treatments unwilling to go to see a doctor.-> unwilling to call a doctor. のように、色んな表現を織り交ぜて使った方がいいでしょう。
>>686 Didn't you know? OB was once thought to be one of the Big Three on this message system. That means he was both a great English speaker and a super entertainer.
I gained a lot of weight during the summer vacation. my waisit is much bigger than it was before. And when I wave my hand, the fat of my upper arm waves too.
My friend, who has tried many kinds of diets, taught me a easy way of diet. The diet is a low-carbohydrate diet, and it seems that you can eat whatever you want EXCEPT carbohydorate.
Accoding to her story, she losed weight 0.5kg a day with this diet! I can't believe that you can lose weight so fast. But I'll try this diet, and I want to get my weight down to 45kg.
taught me -> told me about (teachは教授すると言う意味) a easy way of diet -> an easy way to diet. According to her story -> According to her (storyっていうと、新聞記事 等で読んだような印象を与える) she losed weight 0.5kg a day -> she lost 0.5kg a day
The other day, my friends talked over what they would do when they find money on the ground. One of the guys boasted that he would take it without blaming him, while another girl rebutted him she would just leave it not because of ethics but of uneasiness. The guy suggested an unattended umbrella in the train. He also said that he would not care to bring it home if it was rainy. He had so many umbrellas stolen at various places in rainy days that the occasion would be just his turn to retrieve them. The girl sighed, saying she just felt sleazy if she put on something that had belonged to the others.
At a station, I saw a threft store that sold things left in trains. There are a lot of goods from degital cameras to worn sneakers. Of all, branded keycase like Lois Vitten caught my eyes. It was neatly stored at a corner without keys which should have been inside when they were found. I wondered who would dare to buy them. In the view of recycling, such an auction would be appreciated, but. I just wished those goods would be discovered by the original oweners coincidentally from my heart.
Suddenly the TV set has broken. I can get vision on its clear monitor but sound. No button on the remote controller works. Last night I had no choice to watch it silent.
First I found that recent TV programmes often had subscripts at the bottom of the monitor. It was really helpful. I was able to follow what they were talking about. Later, I started to read them aloud, imitating the possible tone of the narrator. When I stopped, I found I was totally surrounded by silence. As a night of Autumn, distant singing of insects infiltrated the air. I turned on the radio, feeling like to listening the other's voice.
I have a regular pattern to watch TV programs for a week. Now I lost the routine, what can I do instead of that? I just wish the set would soon be fixed as possible.
I woke up at 11. I went to neighboring city and I enjoyed browsing in some bookstore. After that, I have Buta-don(pork bowl) for lunch. That was raher good, but I was the only ccustamer in the restaurant while I was there.

A few days ago, I went some record shop where I've never been to. I just got the shop, threw open the door, then there were only two guys behind the counter, working without uttering a word, no customers except myself. It was kind of awkward. I just found some vinyls of my favorite band. I was so excited because I really get into the band, and I had yet to get the records that I found in there. After buying them, I went around other shops, and then took the train to go home. This crowded train made me nervous. Because each one of vinyls I got was small limited edition, so if I break it, maybe hard to get new one. I got my home at last, and the vinyls were OK. Then I tried to spin them, but my player was just broken.It didn't work. So I've never listend to them yet...I have to buy another new player.
Are you interested in cosmetic surgery?I underwent liposuction 2days ago. That's like a vaccum cleaning toward to body fats.

I always doubt that the price hike of Japanese traditional food for the new years, especially datemaki, a kind of sweet proccessed seafood. It usually costs as much as 100 yen but it quadreples at the end of year. But I have no option to buy one for let it serve for new year's atmosphere.
Today I found it bargained at a corner in the supermarket to sell the discounts, with the very datemaki half-priced. I was so pleased to buy two of them at once. After I returned home, I was losing confidence to be a wise consumer. Do I need to get two other than to buy just one roll of them? I am determined to enjoy utmost the remnant of new years feeling with every effort.
New year's cards are still coming. Most of them are from friends who I haven't met for long years. They tell me something that change and doesn't change either.
I knew a friend had a baby girl last year but from the card, I noticed he had a good deal of silver hair. Though it was quite natural considering the age after his graduation from our university, I felt quite peculiar about it as well as he is now over his 40's.
I think it is good practice that Japanese exchange cards on new year to convey their affection to their friends. It ties loosely with friends far behind time and helps us identify ourselves in the sense that we ourselves did changed but still didn't changed at all.
One of my friends told me that as she had kept ignoring reminder from the municipal office to pay residential tax she received a hand-written letter a few days before. I don't know how many people don't pay their tax right now, but I was really impressed the civil servant made effort to write a letter on his own in the age of personal computers.
Another experience that I had recently is that I went to the civil hall to file paperwork. Shortly before I handed it to them, I had founded that I failed to stamp my personal seal on the designated point. I asked the one at the front desk to overlook me implying his ID card dangling from his neck showed his name is the same as mine.
Talking about deed by civil servant is always a great deal of fun.
The spacecraft has launched onto the moon of saturn, Titan. I am really interested in how the exploration will be. Experts said that the planet was akin to earth before any creature appeared.
I knew further description from today's newspaper. It explained that its surface was frozen with nitrogen and other element. What a fascinating fact there are the same object as we have our home on earth.
I wonder whether we could conduct a huge experiment that we would draw the planet close to the earth and see if any living could be given birth or not.
there were someone's home kye and key ring in my way of the library. I took it to our police, four days ago, because of my puritan, which is inconvinient and bother me, forever. the aunt which is the wife of the policeman said to me that "BOY! You are a gentleman!" I replied no word. Im Hikky. she's a pretty aunt, or girl. after few minutes, her face becames rigid. but there were nothing of mine. "Good bye." I said. when her back was seen.
she who lost the key called me two days ago. but then I was out. when found her log of today's telephone, I thought she's too sincere, and police-system which inform the find-man's data to the lose-man is grim... I know nothing of her.
next, she visited me yesterday, but I dont open our door because our entrance video show me the face of someone I did't meet. she left at once, with sullen face and the present.
but, the tape pasted with the inside is with the lits. I suppose, or probably, or certainly, she opened it once, thought little needness of it, and took it to me..
is she polite and sincere, or ...? I cant understand.
The distance between I and the Sun is the furthest. I can't make the distance shrunk. or Am I stupid? Maybe I am surely an idiot. but this feeling may continue endlessly
Hello Everyone.Today, I'm having a good time with one of my mates. What are you doing today? Having a good Wednesday? I write some sentences just for fun and please make it correct if you find any mistakes or better way to express myself. Yesterday, I went to my uncle's house to have dinner together.We started to drinking a bottle of beer and finished with plenty of bottles of beers on the table. I was really happy at that time but I didnt know why. Next morning, I mean today, I woke up with a very heavy headache and had sick to my stomach. But I'm here now and tryping this with a mate. How do you call this? Hangover? Maybe yes if I'm right.Thanks anyway. Ciao
I caught a cold;(gah gah This cold is my first time cold in this year. I'm not enough to sxpress myself in English; I have been a basic 2chneller since 13 years old, but I had never written into 2ch in English!!
>>716 It's just a hangover,you are right!(lol No one cannot notice it.
I saw Avril's first night in Osaka last night and wanted to let you guys know how it went.
Now, for the show itself. This was my first time to see Avril, plus the show was in Japan, which makes the experience even more unique. The following is simply my opinion of the show, not my overall view of Avril. After all, I did pay the $75 general admission charge to get in, so I obviously wanted to see her!
Overall, Avril seemed really low-energy. She stood still for many songs and simply walked back and forth across the stage during others. I expected a much more energetic, rockin' out performance from her. She seemed really subdued for some reason. The most she moved was to mess with her hair, which she did a lot of on stage! Only a little headbanging, no jumping, no running around. On the other hand, Butch Walker, whose music I don't particularly like, rocked the house! He was all over the place, getting the crowd pumped up, and generally putting on a great performance.
Avril seemed really happy to be in Japan though. She even tried to speak some Japanese! Although her Canadian accent made it really difficult to understand, I was able to make out that she told the crowd, `You guys are really great!' and she also said `Let's sing together!' before she started in on Complicated. Butch had some pretty good Japanese skills- he said about 10 sentences or so, most of which was easily understood.
Japanese rock show audiences can be really weird! I have seen lots of shows over here and the crowd, even though they are having a great time, pften seems totally uninterested! It gets really quiet between songs and the applause usually leaves a lot to be desired. This crowd was on their feet the entire show though! In between songs, they screamed the Japanese version of Avril's name which sounds something like Abureelru. It was a trip!

Avril's voice was right on- she sounded great. She looked great too- all black with a tshirt that read House of Disguist on it. She is much shorter and smaller than I thought. 5 feet, 1 inch and 100 pounds to be exact. Still, her little bubble butt was in full effect!
Unlike most shows I have been to in Japan, security was pretty tight here. They took away cameras at the door and were constantly watching the crowd for cell phone cameras as well. So, no pics to post. Sorry! I think I am gonna head to downtown Osaka today to see if she may be shopping or looking around. If so, I will give a BandAids shout out and see if I can get a pic or two!
Unfortunately, however, I would have to rank this show as one of the more boring ones I have attended. I still love Avril, but her stage presence and boundless energy, which I have heard so much about, was lacking on this particular night.
Hi! I want to to start diary from today. As there were no part-time job,I went to library. To my surprise,in spite of weekday,there were many people. I read borrowed books at starbacks near library. So,I was refreshment.That's good. By the way,since I have job tomorrow,I'm going to go to bed.
Dear Diary I had my psyc midterm today. It was actually an open book test, but I couldn't figure out a thing. lol My instructor always gives us short answer questions. I hate that. If I need to write the answer anyway, I actually prefer essay questions instead. Anyways, I hope I won't get a F.
I haven't worked part-time job for 1 week. Because of trainee,I anxiously whether to do work or not. But there were not worry. My colleague were kind. Also,boss too. I thought that I have a good circumstances.
Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you don't like me, or I was just a XX body. Now, I know that you liked me in your way even though I did not like it sometimes. Sorry, I didn't understand that. I liked you cuz I can respect what you've done to graduate that shit school all the way. I just wanted to know what you think about me when you leave this coutry. Was I the one hoping to breake up? Were you gonna say it's up to me?? I did not want to stick with you without having you here, but, still I like you!!!!! Because you did not like to be said that, I did not say that. I wanted to know what you thought. I like you, but if you really want to be a friend, it's ok. I don't wanna stick with you. although I like you. I wonder why.....
Today, I ate a hamburger. きょう、ハンバーガを たべました。 I am learning Japanese! 日本語が べんきょうを します! I am a dick-head. Can someone tell me how to say that phrase? They don't teach things like that in my class. =( ありがとう ございます。
I have gotta my exam back today, and I gotta 15 out of 15 which is full credit! yahooo!!! Well, a Japanese student gotta A+ while American students get (ry
添削よろしくお願いします。すべて小文字ですが。 today is the last day for me to work here.i had experienced a lot of things here until now. of course there were some sad things,but almost all things are impressive for me. i leave here today with love for you xxx. it was difficult for me to distinguish from love and respect.
for me (Not Necessary) i had experienced (I have experienced) there were / all things are (You need to much time) i leave here today with love for you xxx. (Not Natural) it was difficult for me to distinguish from love and respect.(Not Natural)
添削お願いします。 I went to a hospital for a health screening yesterday. I had same examinations, and the hardest one was the exam of the stomach using an endoscope. That was the first time I experienced the equipment and I nearly choked to death. I will hear the results in a month, and I hope I don't have any severe disease.
添削希望 Because the weather is lovely today, I took down the curtains and washed them in the morning. In the afternoon, I'm going to go to the library. I want to check out some science-fiction novels.
Last night,playing a game on line in my room,door-bell rang. It was at 11,P.M. I thought"How rude!Who's that? " Opening the door,I can't believe the sight what I saw then. A girl,who is my friend in my class,was there. Her home is far from here(about 4km from my home). "What happened to you?It's too late...." I asked. "You know,I lost my lover last month.And thonight,I missed someone badly." She wispered. "Ah,well....I see. Now,come in. I can be your one tonight...."
The night,I had sex with her.
You can't belive this story,can you?But it's true.
Recently I'm trying to keep away from sweets. But it's too difficult because new types of sweets are often released and they tempt me a lot... The common theme in last month's new products was strawberry. This month, green powdered tea is being featured, and I love it. Hmm...
I want to improve my English writing skill. Also, I hope to learn science of medicine. I wonder if I can manage to achieve, but I'm going to continue to study even little by little. Anyway, "all things are difficult before they are easy."
I really feel how difficult it is to find a good dentist. And another trouble is that I have to get dental treatment at my own expense although I have national health insurance. Ceramic jacket crown I want to use is not covered by the insurance. My wallet is getting thin.
Now I'm listening to pop music at LAUNCHcast! It's very easy way to enjoy listening to music while using the Internet, and I'm waiting for advancement in information technologies to enable me to use it outside.
Today I jogged and walked in the park near my house. That is very large, so I haven't looked around the whole park yet. There is a swimming pool in the area and swimming is my favorite exercise. I'll go there after Golden Week holidays because it must be crowded now.
I started writing down what I eat each day three days ago. It has been effective to improve my diet. I found I ate only 15 kinds of foods on average even though to eat 30 is recommended for health. I want to be a good cook and make more various meals.
I went to a Lawson near my house to buy food. A clerk girl at the convenience store was very cute. I was sorry to be there with my hair untidy and my beard unshaved.
Reports I have written so far are hard to read. Maybe, nobody except me can read, and understand them, I think. On the other hand, articles on magazines or journals are readable, understandable, and fun to read.
I don't have confidence what tenses I should use in English. Reading a lot of books will solve the problem, so I intend to read some English novels from tomorrow...now I'm sleepy.
When I open IE, American yahoo! site appears first. It helps to reduce my unconscious resistance to reading English. My only concern is decreased chances of getting Japanese news.
I did laundry in the morning. Everything were dried at short times, but some towels were blown away because of strong winds. So I have to wash them again.
Today is children's holiday and I saw a set of koi-nobori around my house. It reminded me of my hometown because I used to see a number of koi-nobori there.
I'm taking a correspondence course in English writing. A few days ago, my answer sheet was returned and I felt happy the mark was better than that I thought. I'm going to study more to get a higher grade next time.
I noticed that the security guard at the door of the nearest post office had changed. He was talking with a senior woman when I walked into that building. I could have left there without saying any words, but I was inclined to ask him what made their territories had shifted because I remember the former guard had complained of not being in good shape when I saw him the last time. He looked as if he was there volantarily to kill his time after he had retired his company. He was really talkative and accomodating, especially to children. I saw him drawing Pokemon charactors not a few time to make them pleased. As I also knew that he loved his Harley, which was the way to get there, I got worried whether he might come across any accident on commuting. " How come you two changed your places?" I asked. " Nothing. Just an order." I left there while thinking how many neighbors would ask the same question. After all, he was loved, as a charactor of the post office. I wished he would keep fit and please more people in another place he was newly assigned yet I don't know for always.
The pasta one of my friends cooked me was tremendously nice. It was mainly seasoned with green perilla, which gave me taste of summer. I wanted to cook it on my own too. Shortly after I was back to my home, I started to chop perilla. I failed to remember the recipe and I looked for it on the net. It told me to add salted Japanese apricot and dried bonito, dressing in a sour sesame sauce. I was exciting to eat it but soon disappointed. It was somehow different. I could say it was rather oily. Cooking must have not possibly been achieved overnight, I thought.
In the park in my neiborhood, two girls were sitting on the pavement. I wondered why they chose there because there were several bench unoccupied. As I walk about pretending to see the other way round, I noticed that they were making something like ornament for school homework. Having cut heart-shaped pieces of woods, they were splaying sort of paints. They must have banned to work at home on account of its stinky smell or so. However, were they really not able to find more suitable places? Scattered newspaper were being blown across the park.
Lately, I have been too busy to read newspapers. I feel guilty about not knowing the news of the world, but I'm also relieved that I can take a break from all the terrible events. Tomorrow I will try to find time to read the newspaper.
One of young coallegue teased the older one to help him to tip his cup while drinking. I thought it sounds somehow dangerous and cause trouble, but the man who couldn't get what might happen challenged him to do so. The fluid abruptly went down his throat and nearly choked him. He coughed heavyly and told it was difficult to take drink on running. I admired his coolness and assured him it was true for sure, adding that it is also difficult to smoke while walking. I just wonder why no one was for me at that time.
A girl told me that she hardly eat anything from the day before. What she had must have been a slice of banana cake I gave her at that day. She appreciated me a lot. It was not because she was not hungry but because her body couldn't accept any food. "I'm afraid of winding up to admit the hospital to the end", she said. What can I do for her? She lied on the sofa in the room at the end of corridor. I covered her with a blancket that I don't know whose it was.
Yesterday, I inserted my son into my girlfriend. Because her middle hole is narrow, I and she went to Heaven soon. Both were satisfied. I will try her ash hole on the next weekend.
Somehow I thought capital letter is written by the person who can speak English well. But that I am not good at speaking English is unchangeable fact.
I SAW A DREAM. IT WAS VERY AWFUL AND SCARY. I WILL SHOW YOU DREAM THAT I SAW YESTERDAY.
I WAS OUT OF HOUSE IN DREAM. THEN I HEARD STRANGE SOUNDS. IT WAS GETTING LARGER AND LARGER. I WAS GETTING SCARY. I TRIED TO RUN AWAY FROM THE STRANGE SOUNDS. BUT MY BODY WOULD NOT MOVE. I STRUGGLED HARD. AS A RESULT FINALLY, MY BODY STARTED TO MOVE. I RAN. FOR A LONG TIME, I WAS KEEPING ON RUNNING. AFTER IT, I FOUND A LITTLE VILLAGE. I HAD A SENSE WHICH HAVE SEEN THE PLACE ONCE. BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO REMEMBER THE PLACE. I WAS KEEPING ON SEEING THE VILLAGE. A OLD PERSON COME HERE FROM HIS HOUSE, THE MAN SAID "WHO ARE YOU?"
I like studying at a fast food shop because sometimes I can see quite interesting scenes.
Yesterday I sat at a opposite side of big oval table of a couple. The man was seemingly 20 years older than his young girlfriend. He said that he was very busy on working at a model agency. I thought then the cute girl might be the member of the company.
They talked about movies, expecially the movies released nearly 20 years ago. The man looked proud of revealing his idea and knowledge and pretended to be intelligent while the girl was nodding decently.

Wanna go back to Japan for winter break. Miss my baby girlfriend so bad...Missing her cute boobies too And Miss Japanese food, sushi, tempura, sashimi, etc.. Oh man I am gonna crazy just thinking about these stuff!!
It is very good today. Because I could return to my home on other student stadying. Don't you know the reason which I could return to my home? This is why I passed the examination. The day that we can return to home is examination day. So I'm very grad. But I'm always seeing 2ch of interenet with my new PC I bought recentry. Recentry, I thought I must start to study the English, mathe and so on. But I daresay I don't study each subject. From this year, it is started that listening test in center exam. When I heard it,I got depressed. I don't like listening English.
It's been three years since colleges that I wanted to go rejected my test results. I thought I did very well on the tests, but turned out I faild every attempts. That was a whole crash to me. I prepared for the entrance exame for a entir year or two, then They said No to me. That was a really dissapointment. Especially, Toyo-University located in Hakusan, Tokyo, faild me THREE TIMES for THREE YEARS. I still hate them because of that.
But right now I'm doing pretty well in my life. I'm enjoying everything that happens to me, and I have such a improvement in my English. So, I can say, right now, the experiece that I failed so many times on the college entrance exame was a good memory and a good motivetion to me. Thanks To-Fuking-Yo University.
When I play shooting games, I always think "The earth must be ruined if I'm killed here." It is what true shooters always do.
For instance, when there remains four planes, and when the first plane is destroyed, "Oh. Yamazaki. I won't waste your death." When the second plane is destroyed, "It is how. Sato. Were you done?" I shout so very much.
Of course, the last plane is me. And when it is destroyed, I switch off the power supply of the console soon shouting like "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Three seconds rule!!!!!! It is SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFE if the power supply switches off within three seconds even if it's done."
The family recently worries about me, and they won't willing be to talk with me, but I don't mind, because true shooters are always with adversity.
one ofmy new year's resolutions was keeping a diary in English. But,guess what has become of it .bingo !!that' right. though I don't know how you say 三日坊主 in English,come to think of it it is the word exists for someone just like me . what a deplorable thing! 誰か、私の根性をたたき直して頂戴。 can you translate the Japanese sentence above into English ?
how about keeping a diary on this thread? mikkabouzu...three days saveling?never sticking guy.easy tired boy.. is there anyone who straighten me out? could somebody make a new man out of me? i'm not sure.i gess those are no good ,sorry
I'm disappointed with the New Year Cards, which have come less year by year. That must be because I don't have any good news about myself to tell them. I wish I could write about my wife or children, or promotion, anything related upward move.
January 8th Sunday Now I've just come home from work.I'm very tired. I work for the manufacurer of cardboard and I'm assigned to sort heavy papers by their sizes .it's about 40 kilograms each one. I'm not cut out for this type of work. I wanna change my job .But I'm old enough not to find a new one easily. Does anyone know how to make a lot of money easily ?
January 9th monday today was coming of age day but it has nothing to do with me. I went through it long time ago and I had to work despite the national holiday. I wanna take 365 days off in a year.
January 10th Tuesday I'm home now. I don't know what to write. I mean my daily life is repeating the same routine. I do the same things day after day like a machine. I sometimes feel what I'd live for. I almost lose my zestfor life.
797 I'm sure you were tired doing physical job that late at night. you seems to be a bit fluent in english. so why don't you get the english-related job such as translator? if you feel you are not enough skilled,lets study more from now on. never too late to do anyting. just studying will give you a hope. I sometime cant beleive in meaning of life, but i never give up! i want to be a translator someday.im studying. its time i went to leave ,cheer up,bye
801 Thank you for your response. yeah, my jog is very tough physically and I always think about quitting it. But I've never thought I want to be a translator. There seems to be countless people all over Japan who are more fluent in English than me. That's your dream and I understand how come you say such a thing. In fact , You encourage yourself with that. I assume that being a translator requires Japanese ability rather than English ability. anyway,I hope You'll succeed as a translator. Do your best.
804 Never mind.Thank you for your good advice. I'm a sort of person who accept one's advice honestly if it's benefical to me. I'll write it correctly from now on as you told me. I intend to keep my diary on this thread,so if you have something on your mind about my English sentence ,any time is OK with me. sincerely yours
>>802 your english is far better than mine. what say "mottainai","takaranomotigusare" in english? Thursday,January 11th,2007 i study english for an hour. it's the happiest time when i study english.
>>807 Are you gonna keep a diary in English on this thread ,too ? That's a good idea.Let's do it until we'll get tired og it. I mean I don't have perseverance at all,so that I lose interest in anything easily. I wonder how many days I could continue to keep my diary. Bay the way,to my knowledge,"mottainai"is probably"wasteful" and I don't know how you say "takaranomotigusare" in English. Hold on a sec. I try to look into the dictionary. Oh. I got it.which is "waste of talent"or "sit on a gold mine" in this case,the former is suited for the situation. and I think the latter is a nice metaphor.
Sorry, I'm not good at English,so that I can't castigate your English sentence at all. well,I don't understand the meaning of "begin from school" I squeezed my brain for a while to understand it but i couldn't. What do you mean by that ?
once upon a time,there lived an old uncle and aunt. the uncle would go to the mountain to gather firewood and the aunt would go doing the laundry to the river. while doing it , a big peach, which the aunt's never seen it before was running down from above the river. She was surprised and tried to stretched her arms to get it. Finally, she managed to hold it and brought it back home.
This is the first day I work new part time job today. I will teach Microsoft Word and Excel to a man who is 1 year older than me. I can get an hourly wage of 3000 yen, but I have no confidence... Because I've forgotten these skills. And I have another worry. To my surprise, the man is my friend's adequaintance. She said "He is handsome and he was the girl's hero." It's my misunderstanding I've certainly thought the man was some maniac people like "akibakei". My weak point is to talking with coll guy!

oh,deer but sleeping medicine is not good for your health. i'm gonna sing you a lullaby that you can sleep well. ♪ねんねんころりよ おころりよ〜♪ oh, you just fall asleep.
I have to work on the night shift today. It's freezing cold outside ,so I don't wanna go to work. in addition, I go there by moterbike as usual. you never know how miserable I am. while riding it,I always shout out in my mind "god,help me" Make a living is really though for me,who have no guts. If you are rich, could you give me some money ?
Tuesday,January 24th,2006 I got up at 9:30 and sat in front of my PC. I got on the Internet to log in ETRADE Japan,which is NET securities company. I'm selling and buying stocks but I'm not so called day traders I have a job and I started stock investment only three months ago. but I wanna be one of them in the near future. due to the livedoor scandal,almost all the stock prices fell down drastically yesterday. so, I was sure everything turned around today. .....oh, I'm tired. I wanna leave this half-finished.
Wednesday,January 25th, 2006 I'm not in a mood to continue the talk from yesterday. I mean the talk about stocks,so change the subject. wow,I feel like coming to a deadlock. OK,that's all for today.
Thursday,January 26th,2006 There was "top runner" a short time ago,which is NHK TV program. and Today's guest was "depa pepe".Do you know of them ? They are guitar duo who play beautiful tunes with only two guitars. I had a good time to listen to their acoustic sounds which made me move. How come guitar sounds are so attractive to us ? Don't you agree with me ? Anyway,I wanted to play it for the fierst time in ages.
Tenka, I love you. I really love you. I need your love. Your smile is more beautiful than any other flowers. Tenka, I wanna marry you. I wanna make your happy.
Thursday,February 2nd,2006 It's been a while since I wrote in my diary last time. It's turned February but it seems to me that we celebrated new year a short time ago.time really flies. Today ,I'm off duty so I stay up until now to study English and other things I'm proud of my self what a diligent man I am. I think improving myself is the most important thing in my life. so I read so many books every day.good books give us an uplift. especially I recommend you to read books about philosophy.
>>809 Yes,as long as possible,but i'm busy thesedays・・・. thank you for telling me "wasteful""waste of talent""sit on a gold mine". i'll remenber these phrases forever. Wednesday,February,1th,2006(=yesterday) i studied english for a few hours.thats all. just few hours in the morning is my study time, but i couldn't study english enough these days. by the way,have you=809 been keeping a diary here lately?
>>843 Hi, it's been a long time. "I'll remember these phrases forever" Wow,what a exaggerated expression ! but I'm glad to hear that. and I remember you. I'm sure you are the person who wanna be a translator. How are you getting along in your studying English? It's regrettable that you don't have enough time to study it. But I think you have to make time to do it no matter what, if you really wanna be a translator.keep at it ! I became a frequent user on this thread.
I finaly arrived in Las vegas, but one of my friend didn't come.. I paid for her air ticket, and she just trapped me by not answering my phone. I surely lost friend. Here I'm in sin city,alone at the hotel room. Tomorrrow, my other friend in San Fransisco is coming, so I wait for her, and we hang out and have great fun.

>>844 So-so. your words encourages me. But i'm not sure how many years it takes.i'm not certain if i be a translater someday. Tuesday,February,21th,2006 Few days before, it's rathar warm. i felt spring. days past so fast, now already nearly two manths will pass. i don't dislike days in cold winter, but somehow warmth of the spring lighten me.
Monday, Marth 13th, 2006 This is the first page. I'll decide to keep trying to write my diary here! Today, I went to a tax office for file a final tax return. For my health, I went there by walk. It took 40 minutes to get there and back. So now, my tiredness don't let me work more... for this reason, I came here. :-)
if you have time, please correct my writing and talk with me. thanks.
I've decided to keep trying to write my diary here! Today, I went to the tax office to file a final tax return. I walked there as I needed the exercise. It took me 40 minutes to get there and back. Because of this I am too tired to work anymore, so I came here.
>>854 I'm very glad to see your strict response.(of course, it's joke) I usually mistake "for" and "to".. :-) I learned "for" means "〜の為に" and "to" means "〜するために" repeatedly.. That's come to mind always in writing these sentence.
anyway, I make effort to beat that idea... Thanks a lot!
Tuesday, March 14th, 2006 (page.2) It's so cold today. And maybe I have cold...I have headache and cough all through the day.. Because of this, I get back home earlier and watch TV program that recorded yesterday.
In relevant to english study, I watched "eigo de shabera naito(in japanese)". I agree that keeping diary continuously is one of the best way to learn how to write and express our feeling in English. And ath the same time, I felt that I was envious with that girl!! She has very good teacher who teaches real english... ttp://www.nhk.or.jp/night/archives.htm#arc2006031304
Anyway, I'll write a diary here because I believe that there are many teachers here. thanks.
Wednesday, March 15th, 2006 (pp.3) It's warm and fine day! Today, I got HMD(Head Mounted Display) to evaluate its ability. First, however, I must make cable that can adapt ordinary video cable, because it has only one connector to be used by mobile phone. (It costed me 1,000 yen!) At last, I can watch movie in HMD display(QVGA quality). It's image is much clear than old HMD that I got two years ago. I felt the speed of technology development clearly.
But now, I strongly believe that we think about "how to use the device efficiently" instead of "which device we can use". It's not only HMD but also many thing that we use in daily life.
Thursday, March 16th, 2006 (pp.4) I think that I want to write my diary here, but the date has changed. Today, I have tried to evaluate my developed application. The evaluation took me about a hour for each subject. So, I'm late to be here.
>>857 costed -> cost I can watch movie in -> I can watch movies on a It's image is much clear than old HMD that I got two years ago. -> Its image is much (more clear/clearer) than my old HMD that I got two years ago.
>>858 I have tried -> I tried a hour -> an hour An is used when the word after the article starts with a vowel sound, not a vowel. Since hour is pronounced our (/aʊr/) or ouə(r) (/aʊə(r)/) an is used before it. The opposite can also be the case; forinstance university starts with a vowel but it is pronounced starting with yü and this y sound is not a vowel--thus a university and not an university.
Today,my face really swells and becomes brown. That's becuase I applied the liquid of TCA peeling to my face 2 days ago. Now I looked terreble,and it is embarrassing to go out. But I have to make dinner, So I must go shopping.......
Today, I'm going to ready for presentation about tourism assosiation such as IATA . But It would take a long time to translate that. I hate presentation! someone help me... Anyway hang in there. And today is my birthday. I'll get a cake for me as a reward. I miss japan.
I've just finished writing a thesis. It's too difficult for me to consider a logical structure on my thesis. Because it took me 2 weeks or more to finish. I'm too tired to think anymore.. good night!
(添削希望) I went to English school at night. English teacher said,"What do you do today?" I told poor English and full action. I thought that If I wrote diary in English everyday,I'm good at English. So I'm writing diary!
Friday, May 19th, 2006 (pp.5) Two months have passed since I wrote last... During 2 months, I went Osaka to go around "Doutonbori" and to eat food such as "Takoyaki", "Okonomiyaki" and so on! And I bought autocycle a week ago. But I can't ride happily yet because it rains all time in this week..
Wednesday,May 24th,2006 It's been about 3 months since I kept my English diary last time. Time really flies. It's getting more and more muggy these days and almost rainny season sets in. One of my this year's resolutions was keeping a diary in English every day, but I only failed to do it. I feel embarrassed about my having no perseverance. But I also found it difficult for me to keep my diary every day, because my daily life passes as though same routines would repeat day by day. So I'll have nothing to write in the end.
>>871 Hey, Where do you live ? I live in Osaka and today's high temperature here was about 30°C you don't know how muggy Osaka is. If you come to osaka,You'll find that almost everyone is walking around with being completely naked. of course it's my trashy joke !
Thursday,May 25th,2006 My heart dead today. I am loveing you yet. But your work is special and so hard. We cant see again. I am missing you. Jast 21 days.. we think of each other deeply. You sweared to me some. I have belived all of yours. You said "I am only yorus" Last time ,you send your beautiful dream to me. It was really romantic dream. I was very happy, I can not delite the mail yet. You are living in my heart! I feel lonely for you. But, I can not say "please come back" I only wish your happiness. Maybe this is the best way for you. Please take care. Please remember me sometime. May I love you more time? I cant say the words yet.
YUKI forced I pledge allegience to her and to her legs,today.So,I obeyed. Additionaly,I was obligated call her 'queen'frequency,and she call me 'slave'. Parhaps tomorrow,I will be abused by her to her eviquence. Eventialy,I will have been a masohist ,feeling eviquence it.
I wanna kill someone, of coruse it's a mere joke. But I'm under a lot of stress. Stress makes us crazy. I may already be. But almost all people in our soceity can be said crazy. What is the difference between normal and abnormal? Nobody knows. In Japan if you belong to the majority, you can be said to be normal. But majority is always right. It's not. Anyhow I should not waste time thinking about such a trifle thing.
I wonder why very few Japanese can speak English. I think there are two reasons for this. One is that there is a big difference of sentence structure between Japanese and English. The other is that Japaneae don't like to be different from others. They try to behave in the same way others do. Most people can't speak English. So even if he or she can speak English well, he or she hates to talk with native speakers of Enlighs fluently in front of other Japanese who can't speak English. So Japaneaes are too conscious of others' eyes. It prevents Japanese from trying to speak English. After all they become shy when Englis-speaking people came to them. These two factors make almost all Japanese improve their speaking skills in English.
I think writing is necessary to speak, so I decide to write my journal in this thread. before writing journal, I introduce myself. I will have been without occupation until December. I study English to go to lawschool.
Yesterday,I attended tax law class. In the class, students read the textbook of tax law which used in the lawschools in the US. I have not studied even Japanese tax law,so the class was beyond my understanding. but to my shame,I pretended to understand the class.
Yesterday,I met a man because I heard he woul'd treat me to dinnner. However,he didn't treat. Since he promised to treat me to dinnner,I heve met him three times!. Provide me with commuting expenses!
Today,I can stay at home all day.I'm very happy. I am shopping in amazon for interesting English books♪
I am still alive. These days, I wrestle with the choice; I would become a lawyer or a justice. a lawyer is well paid at the start, but little get promoted. I don't have confidence of that I would win the fierce race of promotion.
Relationship of love and marriage. evolution(from dictionary) : the way in which living things change and develop over millions of years, or a gradual process of change and development Evolution : It is spontaneous attractive force between gene of oneself and gene of another. That is, A gene is prefered by other gene. For prediction of evolutions, It will be natural that spontaneousness is important to evolve for better or worse. Artificial stratagem of gene's natural movement will tend to negative motion, despite prediction of evolutions tend to positive motion. That is, We never deprive evolutions of nature. (by X-man)
I declared that I would keep a journal everyday,but 3days have passed since when I writed the last journal.Time flies like an arrow. By the way, I noticed that I bought 9000yen worth of books at AMAZON! There is a real danger that I fall into the red, so I will go to the bank to deposit money. When you pay by creditcard, be careful to buy too much.
Oh, again. One problem is gone. But the next one came out. It's hard to stand it. I don't know whehter he backs me or he is my enemy. So it's too difficult to understand humans and to read other's mind. I wanna take a rest I wanna quit a job. But I can't. I'm so exhuasted between family obligation and work. If possible I wanna run away from everthing. And I wanna go to place with a girl where nobody knows me. I feel I was betrayed by not only my friends but also myself. It's so sad. But it's man's nature. To survive this society, we have to defend ourselves and have a fight with others. Otherwise we will be beaten by them. Oh, I should stop writing here. I wasted too much time murmuring.
>>909 You are playing the leading role on your stage called life. Everybody else is playing the supporting roles for you. The leading role may run away for a while, but he will alwasy come back and turn things better. If you give up now, you'll regret forever. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going~~
I bought a car.She fried some eggs.I baked a bread I roasted some meet.I made a mistake. I made a decision.The weather changed quickly.He changed.She brought some flowers. She was reading a magazine. Sandrra ate her dessert slowly. The contestant considerd the question carefully.
I have not been trained to write English essays so far. I go to English school from Monday to Friday every week. Writing lessons are pure torture tor me now. Tomorrow, I will get some books for English writing in Kinokuniya book store.
many people say differething about the way to master English. It's impossible. As far as speaking is concerned, you'll be able to speak fluently if you live in the US for some years, but it's impossible to completel understand English news or movies.
I can't believe I've never known about this thread until today! I wish I found earlier... And I wish everyone write English diary with Japanese translate! Then we can study easily, also TENSAKU people can find their mistake easily if they use wrong words. Recently, I'm looking for the job in this winter in one ski mountain where many many tourists come from other countries. Hope to find a good one ASAP...
P.S. If it's possible, I'd like some people's TENSAKU.
Nothing came to mind. But I wanna write something. Is it possilbe to learn English after 20. Many say it's impossible because there is some period after which make it impossible to master a foreign language. There is some truth in it. Because even now there are a lot of parts I can't understand or cathch when I listen to English programs.
>926 Then don't study. If u can't put ur mind to it, no matter how long u gonna take time for it, it'll never do u any good. Take some time off or something, it might change ur mind or u might find some other things to aim for that doesn't require studying English.
It's raining outside now and a little bit cold. I woke up a short time ago ,so still sleepy. I have to go to work from now,that is, I have to work at night shift. Have you ever worked on the nightshift? It's a bit hard for me so that I'm always thinking about changing jobs. On top of that,my job is so-called "menial or brainless"one.
Oops,it's about time I had to get ready for leaving home.
it's first time to spot in this thread. well, i'm university student of third year, of course i still have credits to graduate. so anywaym on this morning i was taking the class, and i handed in my reprot to my teacher. but i didn't look over the rules which we have to follow. so imean i did by my own style, you know, it means mark is zero that's over.
Hey friends, Do you know how to be a teacher at NO*A?
At first, you should go to the beauty salon, and colour your hair blond. And then, wear blue contact lenses.
Now you are almost perfect. All you have to do now is to say 'Hello' and 'Bye bye!' naturally. Then you can give a 1 hour lesson with a poor stupid japanese girl (unfortunately, most students in this school is those stupid girls who only want to be friends (and hopefully make love) with blond, blue-eyed 'gaijin'.
Stupid Girl 'Hi!!!! I am Keiko.' You 'Hi Keiko-chan!' SG 'Fat aa u name?' You 'Jimmy desu.' SG 'Ettt, Nihongo dekirun desu ka?' You(not fluently) 'dekima su yo?' SG 'Kyaaaa, sugggggoooooi!' You 'Sugokunante arima sen. Jaa hajime ma shou. Mazu, ' "Hello"' SG 'Herrow' You 'No no! "Hello"' SG 'Herro.. '
But the only concern is the conversation with other lecturers. So you must learn how to say 'Fackin!' 'Damn shit!' 'Oh my god' 'Bitch'
The teachers of that school use one of these words every three words they speak (of course 'bitch' is rather rare). So you have only to speak such words hearing your colleagues speaking.
Colleague 1 'Hey jimmy, listen. Last night my fuckin girl called me at fucking midnight. She was damn drunk! and...'
You 'Oh my g..'
C1 'Exactly! And tis fuckin shit girl was FUCKING with a nigger! her bitch vagina was fuckin full of semen! Shit'
I'm doing what is called a 3K job which means "Ki tsui" "Kitanai" "Kiken", hard, dirty and dangerous. So I've always gotten exausted by the time when I get home. My dream is becoming a rich and having an easy life. In order to realize that dream, I started selling and buying stocks two years ago.
I originally had a million yen as seed money for stock investment. Do you think I'm already rich? No way! You can't imagine how hard I've worked and I almost starved to death to save it. THis money is, so to speak, the result of my "blood and sweat". At first,I made a little profit by buying a major steal company's share. But I was such an stupid man that I didn't take it as a beginners luck. I gradually came to realize that it is very difficult to turn a profit by stock investment. One year later, I found that about a half of the money was missing. Where have they gone?
bussiness is booming while i am starving. no ,don't lament. you have a mission which is requiring your passion and power. remember! don't cry. just revenge. the best revenge is to be happy.
添削お願いします I went to the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) just before the closing in an evening. I did order of ice soy latte and food in an attached cafe. Though I showed a member's card, they did not sell the drink at a member discount price. So I pointed out the error of the amount of money on the spot. Then I said that the staff "showed the member's card before an order". So I said a sarcasm whether "I should have put the member's card in the tray". I looked at Internet physical model after having watched exhibition about the space development and a huge earth. Thereafter, it was a closing time when I watched a digital museum about the development of the computer. I moved to the palette town and found a housing of the 'NOVAうさぎのゲームde留学!?'. When I discovered this game first at this place, there were these four housings, but was able to hold 1 today. When I came to this place before, one another housing was put, and 'オトメディウス' was put today. I moved to AQUA CiTY ODAIBA and ate pasta with the tomato cream of the swimming crab in 'イタメシヤ LaPausa AQUA Odaiba shop'.

I watched CNN,They reported a presidential election, "Edwards withdraws from Democratic race, and He didn't endorse Clinton or Obama". Actually I don't like a Clinton, so I hope that he endorse Obama.
I have to repay a loan as soon as possible. the interest rate is getting higher. But how long and how hard I'd work, my loan is too much and still need long time to pay it back. I spent a lot of money for bullshit... (I don't even want to remember the reason why I used up all my money)
But even how much I regret, the fact is fact. I have loan. So all I need to do is to work and pay back the loan and then eventually I want to forget about the stupid things I have done in 2007 and look forward. I am not crying over the spilt milk. I appreciate for the opportunity given to realize my foolishness. And I am not saying I will never trust anybody. I still trust many people. I am broke but still I am rich at heart.
I also ate poisoned Gyoza which was made in China.
It was delicious. I love gyoza very much. Frozen gyoza is my favorite so I always keep it in my fridge. Even it contains poisons, I just put it into my mouth. After I feel some weird taste on my tongue, I try to spit out each time. So my tongue is always ready to feel the poison and it won't affect my health.
So Chinese people, don't worry. I still love your gyoza. JT employees, it is ok. Poisoned gyoza is exciting lol
Today I worked hard. Also since I have a cold construction, I tried to take warm bath for a while then took a cold shower, warm bath and cold shower...repeated few times to improve my blood flow. But still my feet are cold....(T_T)
Also I saw "Death Note" on TV, but I couldn't understand the plot at all. Because I missed the first half. I am planning to watch "L Change the world" next week, so I'm gonna watch DN in DVD. About my English study, I just realized how terrible my retention ability was....all I need is to practice! gamba!!!
