Day #3

To learn English, I listened to the music and wrote down lyrics.

It was really a good training to my ears to memorize the phrases.

The phrases I memorize were easy to come up to my mind

and I tried to use those phrases as soon as possible not to forget the meaning

and it’s usage. But I did not have chance to use the words, so I tried to seek the chance

to communicate with English speaking people. I tried to set the situation to use those phrases.

I was so easy to into something I was crazy about.

At that time, communicating in English was what I was into.

Many years later, I do not have chance to use English on job place.

And I become more comfortable to use Japanese than English.

It is too sad to lose energy against English.

Day #2

I was not the one that went to private elementary school.

I started to learn English when I was 12, at junior high school. I was just an ordinary average Japanese Junior High School Student. I went to Private school, and some of the students were elementary school graduates. At elementary school, they learn English. It means that most of the girls already had some more knowledge about English.

My father was an employee at some company. He was an engineer, and very smart. He was English speaker, and he supported me to learn English. He let me go to English conversation school. He gave me good advice. He taught me “There is no difference if he/she has the same knowledge or ability. You should live your life not as a woman, but as a human being.”

He passed away in 1999. He had no chance to see the year 2000.

I really miss him whenever I got lost. Even now, I need his advice. I was not a good daughter. I did not care about him, even he was very sick. I remember he was so weak and his face when he had pain on his stomach.

I still miss him. I still need his help, I guess.

Day #1

Long time ago, on August 10, a baby was born in Tokyo.

She was born as the very first baby to her parents, and the very first grandchild.

She was a good girl.

She lived her life happily and her parents gave her everything they could do.

Today is her XXth birthday.

She is I.

I decided to write my blog in English, because I want to start something new on my birthday. I may not be a good blogger, but I love writing.

If someone stops by my blog, feel free to leave comment.

I take a day off today. I don’t want to work on my birthday.

More or less, I should face some stress filled situation in the office. I just want to escape to the place I feel just safe. Doesn’t it make sense?

And yet, I woke up at 6:30 as usual, and put the garbage in the trash box.

I had breakfast, coffee and yogurt as usual.

It’s only 8:44.

There left 15hours today.

How do I enjoy today?
