Puedo sobrevivir sin esta palabra!
I took an English lesson today.Today’s theme was accounting.Fixed assets, current assets, tangible asset, net asset, creditor, debtor, and liabilities.Actually, I don’t like numbers, calculation and thing like that.I’m the last person who becomes an accountant.The teacher asked me one question, but I couldn’t answer that immediately.He said “You don’t care so much, do you?” as a joke.I simply replied “I can survive without it!” in a small voice.He laughed hard and said “who taught you that?”Who taught me that phrase?Anyway, it is one of the useful phrases in a class!When I was on the train, there was a foreigner standing next to me.I don’t usually look around in a train and keep reading Harry Potter, so it took me over 10 minutes to notice he was a foreigner.Once I saw he was reading a text book of Japanese.I saw the book he was carrying at a glance and it was written in Japanese and other language.I couldn’t figure it out, whether it was written in English or not.It was a little bit strange, a foreigner who was reading Japanese book and Japanese who was reading Spanish book stand next each other.It is a real globalization, isn’t it?

El tifo’n se esta’ acercando
Una pregunta.Podoré ir a trabajar mañana?O qurré ir a trabajar?Probablemente, podoré ir, pero no qurré ir...It rained really hard today.Typhoon is approaching now.And I knew it would rain hard but I didn’t expected that much.When I got to the nearest station of my house, it didn’t rain.But 5 minutes later, it started raining, and 5 more minutes later, it rained really hard.Usually I feel depressed.But it rained extraordinary hard, so I felt much better.It seemed the rain could squash every bad spirits.And the scenery was excellent!Everywhere you can see was white.It looked like you were surrounded by frosted glass.That was beautiful!I wonder if I can go to work tomorrow.Perhaps, the train will stop because of the rain.One big question.Can I go to work tomorrow?Or I should ask myself if I want to go to work tomorrow?I will be able to go to work, but probably I don’t want to work tomorrow… (^^;)

Alicia en el pais de las maravillas
Estaba leyend en el tren.Cuand escuché el empleado dijó que nos llegaría a la proxima estacion, encontré una cosa curioso.Ví solamente una pared azule claro enorme.Craí que fui Alicia en el país de las maravillas!I was reading a book while I was on a commuter train today.It was a crowded train, so I didn’t care so much about the people around me.I was concentrate on reading. I’m still reading Harry Potter in Spanish, so I can’t think anything while I’m reading.If I’m not concentrate on reading, I won’t be able to get the meaning of it at all!I heard that the train would stop a station soon.And then, I noticed something wrong…I couldn’t see anything but a sky blue wall.I thought I was dreaming.I felt like I was Alice in wonderland.You see? After reading Harry Potter, you can only see a sky blue wall.What’s the weird situation?I looked around and I could see someone else’s legs, so I was sure I wasn’t insane.I wonder what the sky blue wall was.I got the answer when the train stopped.It was a back of a man who was wearing a sky blue shirt.I suppose he was over 40 cm taller than me.He said something when he got of the train, but I couldn’t hear him.The voice came from over my head, and I couldn’t see his face at all.I wasn’t sure he spoke to me or anybody in that train, or talked himself.It was really funny because I got the result of health check today.And I was 1 mm taller than last year!I’m still growing???

El partido de Malasia contra Japon
Ví el partido de Malasia contra Japon.Ganamos!!!Pienso que el partido era buena.Hirayama y Morimoto fugaron de maravilla!I’m writing this diary with watching the match between Malaysia and Japan.Our boys have already scored two, and I’ m sure we will win this match!I found two funny things that the commentator said:OneHe called Cullen, Robert as Kirishima, Karen. Just once.In Japanese, it is the same the pronunciation of Cullen and Karen.But Kirishima Karen is an actress!Maybe I noticed it, because I’m a Cullen’s fan… (>

Deportivo La Corun~a contra Valencia CF
Ví un video del partido de fútbol.Sabía que ganamos antes de verlo.Fue facíl para verlo porque no estuvé preocpada.I saw the match of Deportivo La Coruña and Valencia CF, which I had videotaped.I had known Valencia CF won this match before I watched it, so I simply enjoyed watching it.I was really happy to see the team’s combination.They passed as if each player knew others next movement.I knew if the team Deportivo La Coruña was in their best condition, the team Valencia couldn’t win easily.There is a match between Valencia CF and Racing Santander tonight.I hope they will keep winning all those matches from now on!!!I did homework of English class.I was reading and looking up some words in a dictionary.Then, I found myself sleeping…I finished some of my homework, and I gave it up.I felt like I was back in a high school days.

En la papeleria
Fui a la papelería.Ví un niño pequeño y el trató de subir una balda.¿Qué hace usted si ve un niño trata de subir una balda?I went to a stationery store today.When I was looking for what I want to buy, I saw a boy.He was a little kid, and I heard someone talking to him from somewhere I couldn't see.The next time I had noticed him, he was climbing on the shelf.But I didn't see anyone with him then.Usually, I ignore this little incident, but I wasn't able to ignore it.I'm not sure what the reason was.I warned him not to climb the shelf, because it is dangerous.He looked surprised at this words and he climbed down the shelf.May be he obeyed my warning because he was scared of me, a stranger.I did a right thing. That is no doubt.But I felt I was getting old.Young people don't usually give this kind of advice to others.Breaking rules is cool and giving advices is old people's business.That's why I felt I was getting old.No one can escape from getting old.If so, I want to become a nice person.If I will be cute, that will be the best!

Estuve' leyendo Harry Potter
Estuvé leyendo Harry Potter cuand volví a mi casa.No encontré todos.Pero recordé unos vocabrarios.Disfrutaba mucho cuand encontré algunas parablas.I was reading Harry Potter in a commuter train.I tried not to read aloud because it looks silly if I read aloud in a crowd.But I found that I reading aloud without voice.That looks also silly, but I couldn't stop it.I read a phrase two or three times if I didn't understand.Then I started reading it aloud.I don't know why, but if I read it aloud, I can understand it easier.I forgot to bring a dictionary, so I had to imagine the story while I was reading.I knew the story already. That helped me reading through.Actually, I love guessing while I am reading.I do it, even if it is written in Japanese!It is difficult for me to read complicated Chinese characters.I chatted with one of my colleague about which language you want to master.My choice was English, Spanish, and maybe Italian.She agreed with my choice of Italian, but she said she would choose Chinese.I disagreed with her at this point, because I didn't want to remember all these Chinese characters.But she told me it is easy to understand the word's meaning if you read it.Yes, she was right.At least, I can guess what the letter's meaning.But I won't be able to write it anyway… (^^;)

Compre' un libro
Recibé un paquete hoy.Compré 5 libros de Harry Potter en español!Empeso leer el primer libro y ahora estoy leyendo en la pagína 16.I bought the books of Harry Potter.I am going to read it in Spanish!I hope it doesn't drive me crazy!!! (^^)I started reading it today, and now I'm in page 16.I kept reading it aloud, so I'm having a slightly sore throat. (^^;)I noticed I don't have enough vocabulary to read it.I guess I don't know the 90% words of it.I keep imagine the story.I know the original story, so it isn't difficult to imagine.That's why I keep reading it.If I don't know the story, I have to look up the words that I don't know in the dictionary. And that will make me depressed and tired, and I can’t keep reading it.Even if I don't know 90% of the words, I still follow the story from some of the phrases that I can understand.However, I look up some words that I often see in it.For example, I looked up the word “lechuza (owl)”I hope reading this book helps me to grow my vocabulary!I bought Star wars DVD.I didn't have time to see it, but I really want to see it as soon as possible!I can't wait!!!By the way, I found that Chewie had visited here in Tokyo last week!After he left Japan, he visited Australia, Germany, England, and Spain!He will continue this promotion tour (?) of the DVD.I saw some pictures of Chewie in Japan.I found it really funny because he was reading “Hot pepper” in one of the pictures!

Energia del chocolate
Estuvé muy cansada en esta tarde.Me irritaron y fueron presionado.Pero, despues de comer chocolate, me sentía mejor.Encontré que tenía demasiado hambre y no podría pensar normal.Energía del chocolate es demasiado fuerte!I didn't feel great in the evening.I wasn't sure the reason why I felt that way.I was irritated and depressed.I knew one good reason why I was irritated was I couldn't figure it out why I felt that way.I made myself to believe that I was too exhausted.When I left office, I couldn't think anything but eating something sweet.And I realized that I was too exhausted.People want to eat something sweet whenever they got tired, don't you think so?I bought a box of chocolate at a convenience store, and I ate it in front of the store.Then I got feeling much better.After I ate 3 pieces of chocolate, I felt as usual.I found that I was too hungry to think normal.In the story of “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban”, Professor Lupin let Harry eat chocolates when he encounters dimentors.Now I know why he let Harry eat it.Probably, I encountered some dimentors while I didn't notice.That's scary!?

Estoy muy contenta con mi capacidad de oido
I'm quite content with my Spanish hearing ability.Pablo Aimar is supposed to be away from the match for 15 to 20 days.That means 2 or 3 weeks.I got it when I heard the doctor's speech in Spanish!My hearing skill is not so bad at all!?Well, apart from my hearing skills, I'm not happy at all.He won't play for over 2 weeks including one UEFA champions league's match.I'm sure I'll keep watching these matches as much as I can, but I want to see him playing.I can't express it but it is fun to watch his move.He is the man who makes me think “what will he do next?”I suppose that is the reason why he is called payaso (clown).I'm surprised that the number of visitors is over 700 now!I haven't imagined that so many people visited this simple weblog!

Hace mucho calor
Comí “Shin Ramen” hoy.Hace mucho calor...Pero puedo decir “hace calor” para hablar acerca de sabor?I ate “Shin Ramen” today.It is a Korean instant ramen.I guess “Shin Ramen” is the Japanese name.I don't know how to pronounce it in Korean.But when you write “Shin” in Chinese character, it means hot.And it was really hot for me, and I coughed several times while I was eating.The name represents its taste. There is no doubt about it.I saw the match of Real Madrid and Español.Español won the game, and they became the No. 1 in la liga española.Zidane, Casillas, and Figo didn't play because of their injuries.It seemed the left of the team lost communications between the each player.I couldn't believe it was Real Madrid at all!

Me pongo triste
Escuché los declaraciones del doctor sobre la lesión de Aimar.Entonces, el no podrá jugar el próximo partido.Creo que él dejó que Aimar nesecita descansar por dos o tres semana.Pero no esta seguro, porque él habló en español...I'm so sad!Valencia won the third match of la liga española.Why do I feel so sad?The reason why I feel sad is Pablo Aimar got injured while he was playing.I don't know what happened to him, because I've just heard what the team doctor said.In Spanish, of course.So, I'm not sure what exactly he was saying.I really want to improve my Spanish skills!The official homepage of Valencia CF provides us some interviews with the players or coaches this year.Last year, they provided almost only the text format.It was so hard to read long sentences.But there are videos and voices now.I try to listen most of it, even though I can't understand it!It's much more fun!

La comida en oton~o
It was a cool day today.It is autumn.There is a term “TEN TAKAKU, UMA KOYURU, AKI”.How can I translate this?TEN TAKAKU, UMA KOYURU, AKISky is high, horse is getting fat, autumn.Is it too direct?It is said that the colour of the sky is not the same in summer and autumn.In summer its colour is deep blue, and in autumn, it turns to be light blue.That's why the sky in autumn looks higher than in summer.The second question is why horse is getting fat.I don't know why it is horse.But in general, the food in autumn is delicious.Fruits, fishes, and vegetables are all delicious. And this is the reason that it is easy to get fat in autumn in Japan.What is the food in autumn?Matsu-take, eggplant, sanma, grape, and so on.We must be really careful what we eat from now on.Or think positive, and we eat and gain weight to prepare for winter!

cansado del calor
No estoy muy bien por hoy en día.Fuí muy preocupado de mi salud porque no sabía razón.Creo que sufrír el NATSU-BATE (cansado del calor).I’ve been tired these days.There is no reason but I’ve kept irritated.I know these two has been connected each other.I don’t know how to break this chain reaction.I went out with one of my colleague, and I told her about my health problem.I was so worried about my physical and mental state, but she gave me a clue.I’m suffering NATSU-BATE.How can I explain NATSU-BATE in English?It means that the fatigue after the summer.Usually, people are much more active in summer than in any other seasons.And also we’ve suffered hot and humid weather for over one month.These are the keys of NATSU-BATE.The temperature is getting lower and lower.Some people feel listless, like just finished a big festival.Ok, I’m going to show you how the internet dictionary says about NATSU-BATE.weariness from the heat 《of summer》Well, I did a good job, didn’t I?There is one guy who is muscular, very careful about his body (muscle?) and health, and thinks too positive in my office.My colleague and I don’t usually see him look tired or boring.And to our surprise, he declared that he’s been suffering NATSU-BATE, too.We have no choice but suffer NATSU-BATE, if he suffers it!

UEFA champions league
Ganamos!Disfurutaba mucho, porque ví Cai – Pablo Aimar – juegé en el partido!Valencia CF won the first match of UEFA champions league.I saw the match last night.Pablo Aimar was selected as a starting member.I was so happy to see him play from the start of the match.They played against Anderlecht.It is a Belgian team.I saw his beautiful pass, and good combination of the team. I was so content with this match.On the contrary, I was upset with the announcer.He kept calling them “Barcelona”.He sometimes made mistakes calling the wrong players name.He once called Angulo but actually, the person was Rufete.I kept yelling at TV whenever he made mistakes.I couldn't believe he said Baraja was a player of the team Belgium.The commentator corrected every mistake, and I felt sorry for him.Anyway, we won! That's the most important thing now!I had a lunch at Cozy corner. Cozy corner is a famous for its reasonable cakes in Japan.While I was eating my lunch, it seemed two women interviewed with a chef.He was talking about his bread or cake, his shop, and so on.Two women sounded like too impressed, they reacted too much.It was a little bit funny, whenever they replied they pretended that they have never heard his story before.It was possible that that was their first time to hear his story, but they exaggerate too much, so I didn't think that their first time, anyway.Can you imagine what kind of person I am talking about?

Van Helsing
I went to see a movie called “Van Helsing” today.I love Hollywood movies.They are simple, fun, hero always beats evil, and happy ending.If it doesn't have much contents or it is a weak storyline, still you can see beautiful people.I enjoyed watching Van Helsing.It is fun to watch and the story goes quite well.It's like a fanfare. You get scared, surprised, and laugh. You can feel every emotion except sadness.I jumped several times while I was watching it.It was funny. I don't usually get this reaction while I'm watching movies.My friend is a fan of Van Helsing (Hugh Jackman).But I thought Velkan was good-looking.After we left the theater, I bought a broacher of it and looked for who played the roll of Velkan.Will Kemp play Velkan.I've ever heard of his name, but I didn't know who he is.It said Will Kemp was a famous dancer. That's why I've ever heard of his name.Apparent of the broacher, this is his first movie.My friend said she saw Faramir (the lord of the ring) in this movie.At first, I said I didn't see him, but when I said so, I felt something weird in my mind.I asked her “You mean Carl was Faramir?”We wanted to deny it.Faramir was one of our heroes in the lord of the ring.Carl is not a big hero in Van Helsing.But we were impressed by his acting skill!

Tengo morrin~a!?
Almorzé en el restaurante japones.No tuvé tanto tiempo para almorzar, entonces yo comí muy rapido.Estaba muy rico. Pero quería comer muy tiempo.En aquel entonces, escuché que algunas personas hablaron en español.Traté de escuchar sus conversasion, pero no pudé, porque ellos estuvieron sentados muy lejos.Escuché la palabra “partido”! Piensé que ellos hablaron acerca de fútbol. Me gustaría hablar con ellos!!!I went out for lunch today.I wanted to go somewhere I have not been, but I didn't have much time so I went to one of my favorite Japanese restaurant.When I get there, it was 13:30, so there were a few customers there.I ordered OBENTO. That is my favorite, because I can eat many dishes, like fish, meat, vegetable, and so on.I had to finish eating less than 30 minutes, so I ate my lunch as soon as possible.When I finished eating, I found that there was 10 minutes left.I felt a little bit tired.I thought I should bring something to read while I was drinking oolong tea.Then, I heard conversation between 2 or 3 people.They were talking in Spanish, and I started listening to their conversation without noticing it.The voices were not loud enough to get the all words.It was like back ground music. I sometimes understood a few words.I was not concentrate to hearing them.But all of my sense awakened by the simple one word “partido”.The word “partido” means game in English.For me, “partido” means a football game!I guess they were talking about football.It might be a prejudice, but who knows?At that time, I really wanted to learn Spanish again!I simply wanted to know something about football anyway.One of my co-workers called me “a girl who is in a Word Cup fever longer than anybody else”.

Gyoza en el cafe'
Que tipo de plato quiere comer en el café?Uno de mis amigos abre un café y puede comer gyoza, un plato de chino, allí.Me gusta comer gyoza, pero pienso que es un poco única idea para servir un gyoza en el café.I heard one of my friends started a new business.It is said he is a master of a coffee shop.And you can eat a gyoza there.Can you believe it? A gyoza at a coffee shop!Gyoza is one of the Chinese foods.It is called “jiaozi” in Chinese.Gyoza is a dumpling with minced pork and vegetable stuffing, according to an internet dictionary.Usually, you can eat it in a Chinese restaurant or Ramen shop.I think it is quite unique idea to serve a gyoza in a coffee shop.I hope he will enjoy working at his coffee shop!By the way, Real Madrid won the second match.Valencia CF did not win the game. It was 0 – 0 with Athletic Bilbao.I am not fully satisfied with this result as you can imagine.It is said Baraja and Vicente did not play in that match.I want to see their beautiful team play!It started broadcasting their match on WOWOW now. But I should record it, and get some sleep!But… How can I sleep! I am sure that I need so much effort to turn off the TV…

Creo que soy mujer
Me gusta mirar un partido de fútbol, leer libros, y ver peliclas.No me gusta cocinar ni comprar muchas ropas.Algunos amigos se preocupan de mí, pero yo quiero mí vida como esto!I stayed at home all day long.I used to stay at home at the weekend, but lately there is something I have to do, so I go out very often.Some people say that it is boring to stay at home, but I don't think so.I love to watch videos, reading novels, writing e-mails, and surfing on the net.I clear up my room when I am in the mood.I tend to store a lot of things. One of my English teacher said I am a pack rat. I am not sure what exactly he said but I guess that the words he used.That is why there is a time I throw many things. It usually occurs once in two or three years.In other words, I need much time to give up what I have been keeping.Why people want to store things?It is said women love to store things. In a detective story, women always keep love letters from her boyfriends.Well, I'm not sure if it is right. I guess there are men, who love to keep things for their memories. Am I too girly and romantic?By the way, I am not a fashionable person.I don't read fashion magazine. I prefer to read football, music, movie, or PC magazine.One of my colleague said her boyfriend thought I was a man.She talked about my hobbies with her boyfriend. I cannot blame him, can I?If she uses my family name when she talks about me, nobody knows whether I am a man or woman. Unfortunately, we use the same title “SAN” to describe men or women in Japanese.I asked a friend of mine what the girly hobbies are.He said “cooking”, so I gave up. (^^;)

Aqui viene de una vida digital
Cambié el curso de la televisión por cable de análogo a digital.Podré ver UEFA champions league.Estaré ocpada para ver los partidos de fútbol!I changed the course of the cable TV from analog to digital.I didn't plan to change it so soon, but I had to.I really like to watch the UEFA champions league.The channel which will air the qualification matches is not included in the analog course.I decided to change course in the middle of August. The clerk told me I would change the course in the early October, because the large number of people wanted to change it so they were almost running out of the stock of its hardware.I felt a little bit odd because it is still mid September, however I was happy that I would be able to see the first qualification match of the UEFA champions league!It will start on the September 14.I changed the course just in time!My father and I changed the hardware called Set Top Box, and I noticed that there was something wrong.I was not able to see WOWOW.WOWOW is one of the TV channel in Japan. You can see many films and sports games through it.I paid extra money to see this channel but I could only see the error sign.I got upset and I phoned to the cable TV company.The girl on the phone said that I should phone to WOWOW, and she let me know the number.Then I called WOWOW and got confused.The clerk at WOWOW said my contract was for the cable TV user, and I was supposed to make a contract with the cable TV company, not with WOWOW directly.She said there was nothing she could do about it, and advised me to call the cable TV company again to check my contract.Usually, users must rewrite the contract when they change the course from analog to digital.But I was told that I did not need any paperwork when I asked to change the course. All I have to do was change the hardware.I called the cable TV company's contract section this time, and I asked, NICELY, what went wrong.One hour later, the man in charge called me and at last, I was able to see it.It takes much time and effort to adopt a new technology, doesn't it?

MENTAIKO es un alimento mi favorito
I had an appointment with one of our clients today.I usually work inside of our office, so it is rare to visit clients.Actually, it is fun to go outside of the building.I always feel funny. For me, the time arriving my office, is in the morning.I was really confused when I left my office in the morning, and came back in the evening.I didn’t know what time it was at all, that day.My feeling told me it was 11 o'clock in the morning, but it was 4 o'clock in the evening.That was really weird.Anyway, my appointment was 1 o'clock in the afternoon.Unfortunately, I had a meeting in the morning, so I didn't have time to have lunch.I was afraid that my stomach might make sounds during my visiting our client, because of hunger.Truth was all of my sense was turned down when I was there. It seemed I was nervous.When my colleague and I left there was at 2:30 o'clock.I still wasn't hungry at all.We walked around to look for a good place to have lunch, and I started feeling that I was hungry.We went to an Italian restaurant called Spaghetti-Ya. I had Mentaiko and Aojiso’s spaghetti.That was marvelous!They used a lot of Mentaiko than I expected!I love eating Mentaiko. I believe Mentaiko is one of our delicious and important foods in Japan.

una pelicula sobre un terrorista
I read the article about a film.This was filmed in UK. It is a story about one of the terrorists who hijacked an airplane in US on September 11, 2001.I read an article that there was a premier of this film before.After that, it was aired on British television and screened at the Venice Film Festival.It was an extraordinary film because this film was made from a terrorist’s point of view.It is said this is a really powerful film. It is researched the terrorist very well.The history about him, who he loved, why did he turn in to al-Qaeda and so on.I was impressed somehow. I haven’t expected that somebody would make a film like this.In my opinion, most of the people want to think these terrorists are monsters.But they are usual people like us in it.I wouldn’t say any of us will be terrorists but if you were born in a certain country that might happen to you.I hate to write about religious, economic, or politic matters. So I stop here.I wonder if I want to see this film if it is aired on Japanese TV.I don’t know whether I will watch it or not.Would you like to see this film?The article said it would be aired in US, but it would take sometime, because the American citizen wasn’t ready for it!I’m not sure who is ready for watching this film anyway.

El equipo japones es muy fuerte!
We won!There was a football match between India and Japan.It was a first stage of qualification match.The group which includes Japan is consisted of other 3 team, India, Oman, and Singapore.There are two matches left, and the first team will go to the next stage.We can't lose both matches.I was very much surprised during the half time.There was power failure.I couldn't believe my own eyes. I haven't expected to see that situation in the international match.Most of the lights had gone off for over 30 minutes, and I kept watching it.That was so weird.The reporter and commentator were worried about player's physical and mental condition.But one player, I guess Miura, played with the ball, so I stopped worrying for them.Anyway, I'm happy now! Because we won!I went to a hospital for my physical checkup.I haven't experienced Barium and Gastrocamera so the most awful thing is taking a blood sample now.Usually nurses can't take my blood sample at one time. I need to be tried for several times.But today, the nurse looked experienced.I trusted her that she could take it at one time.OK, she put the needle at my skin just once; however I felt several pressures after that.It seemed she couldn't reach the blood vessel.I felt so sad and was actually hurt, so I was in blue. On the contrary, my colleagues looked like enjoy these experiences. Then I thought “I must feel that way”.I need more mental training! I should go to the temple! That's a good idea (maybe)!? (^^;)

Asistir una reunio’n
No me gusuta asistir una reunión.Es difícil sea despierto durante una reunión.No sé porque estoy siempre soñoliento.There was a long meeting today.I don't like to be present a meeting, especially a long one.I always try not to fall a sleep during a meeting.It's like a big fight between sleepiness and me. (--;)I believed I was not the only one, so I looked around carefully during the meeting.I suppose some of my colleagues were quite good actors.They looked like thinking deeply or concentrating hearing what others reported.I always try not to close my eyes, because if I close them, I'm pretty much sure I fall asleep.But they closed their eyes!I guess they close their eyes, fall asleep for a few second, gain strength, and wake up. They are pretty awake when they report their business.I admire their skills!I tried not falling asleep today, but I failed. I wasn't pretty awake when I report my stuff. I wasn't sure what I was speaking.I couldn't think right at that time. It was like my brain stopped working at all.I must master a “sleeping during the meeting” skill!!!Case 1Hold your forehead with your hands. Cover your face with your hands from the chairperson. Pretend you are reading a copy of your agenda really carefully.Case 2Hold your forehead with one of your hand. Cover your face with your hand from the chairperson. Pretend you are taking a memo.Case 3Fold your arms. Sit on a chair and turn your back to the chairperson. Incline your head a little forward.These are the basic and best skills I've ever seen! I must master some of them!?

El sen~or del anillo
Mi padre vío una pelicula se llama “The lord of the ring”.Lo siento, no sé como se llama en español.El diccionario me dijo como “El señor del anillo”. Es verdad?Me gusta esta película, pero mi padre no conviene con mígo!My father told me that he watched “The lord of the ring” on TV.He didn't enjoy watching it, and he said it was boring.Father: I heard there are 2 movies apart from this. Did you see all of them?Me: Of course!F: How can you bear to watch them? It lasted 3 hours for each of them, right? I was about to fall asleep during the movie!M: I can't believe it! They are long movies, but they are interesting! I didn't feel the time passed. Mind you, they are movies which made to see in the theater, not for TV! You can't get the real feeling that the director intended us to feel.I didn't know which one he saw at that time, but later I knew he watched “Fellowship of the ring”.He said “The man looks like Tanaka in Urawa Reds starts his trip to throw the ring away!”I was about to say “What???”You see? We were talking about a movie. So, I didn't know who he was talking about.He was talking about Tatsuya Tanaka, one of the best football players in Japan, and in his opinion, he looked like Frodo.I like Tatsuya Tanaka, even thought he plays for Reds, because I enjoy watching his play. He always does some extraordinary play, and I look forward to see these plays!I don't agree with my father. Both of them are excellent but don't look like each other.Do you agree with me or my father???Official homepage of Urawa Red Diamondshttp://www.urawa-reds.co.jp/

Tiene miedo de terremoto?
Había un terremoto hoy.No era muy grande, pero creo que unos de mis profesores tuvieron miedo.Hay personas que no había experimentado el terremoto!There was an earthquake today.It occurred at south central Japan. I felt it when I watched TV.When the earthquake occurred, I was watching Glay's concert on TV.Glay is one of the most famous music bands in Japan.They can have more than 100,000 audiences for one concert.Can you believe it? More than 100,000 audiences come to see their performance for ONE NIGHT!Anyway, I was watching their concert, and didn't notice the earthquake for sometime. At that time, their fan was waving their hands and arms. It was almost the same rhythm as the earthquake movement.When I noticed it, it started shaking harder. But I knew it is not a big one, so I didn't care so much.However, I turned the channel to see news program. It seems south central Japan got hit a little bit hard and there were Tsunami, too.I hope it doesn't leave any influences in the south central Japan.I remember most of my teachers are afraid of the earthquake.At first, I didn't understand why they were afraid of it that much. So I asked them the reason. Most of them hadn't experienced it before they came to Japan. I couldn't believe that there were some people who never experienced the earthquake.I knew there were many earthquakes in Japan, but I couldn't imagine there were never occurred in one's life.And some of them told me they feel every quake, but try not to show they feel it when Japanese seem notice it.If Japanese doesn't notice it, it's not a hard one. However, Japanese mentions the earthquake that means a hard one for some of them!After I heard this, I started ignoring minor quake.If I want to scare them, I'll cry out and pretend that will be a big one! That will be fun!!! (^^)

Mi vida sin mi
Ví una pelicula se llama “Mi vida sin mí”.Esperaba a mirar esta película porque piensé que Pedro Almodóvar era el director de esta película.Sabía que Isabel Coixet era el director después de que lo mirara.I saw a movie called “My life without me”.I was very much looking forward to watching this film because I thought it was directed by Pedro Almodóvar.I was wrong, but I saw his name somewhere in the crew list.Probably he was a producer of this film.I expected to cry at the end of the film.I thought it was a cute movie, but slightly easy.I knew what would happen in the end of the movie.That's why I wasn't moved completely.Or am I getting too old to be sensitive?Today's weather in Japan was a little bit weird.It was cloudy during the day, but started raining and sometimes thunder at night.The news reported that there was a flood in Shibuya.It wasn't a real bad one, but I was so surprised at this news, because I haven't seen a flood in Shibuya as long as I can remember.It also started raining and thundering where I live.I hope not to rain tomorrow, because I will have to work.If it rains quite hard and I won't be able to go to work because all the train stops, I will be happy. If not, I don't want that it will rain tomorrow.I usually start working at 9:30 but at 7:45 tomorrow.I'm not sure I can get there by the time and also keep me awake in my office. (^^;)

nube o aran~a
Escuché una canción se llama “nuage” en f rancés.“nuage” es “nube” y se llama “KUMO” en japones.“KUMO” tiene dos significados. Uno es “nube” y otoro es araña.I went to see a jazz live performance today.This was the first time in two months.I usually go to see the same people. They are so nice, and we chat during the performances.I used to think that jazz (and classical music) is music for adult, like my parents generation.I hadn't imagined I would start listening to them.I thought they were boring, I preferred listening to the music with singers.I sometimes fell asleep when I heard them.But things had changed. I was invited a jazz concert of this band, and they are actually great band.I always enjoy watching them play.Oh, I also enjoy the leader's comment between songs. He explains the songs and sometimes (almost always?) speaks some funny things. We must be concentrated on what he is going to say.I try to remember what he explains, but I usually forget them until the next day.I tend to remember the funny things that he speaks. That's funny. I don't need any effort to do it.They played a song called “nuage”. “Nuage” is French and it means “cloud”.Cloud is called “KUMO” in Japan and it has two meanings. One is cloud and the other is spider.The band's leader explained the meaning of nuage before they played, but when they finished playing the song, one of the audiences asked “What is nuage? Does it mean spider?”I saw the leader shrugged a little, and explained it once again for him.He looked like he heard this explanation for the first time, so my friends and I smiled a little.Today's teaching is “We should pay attention to what the speakers say!” (^^;)Eiji Hanaoka's official homepagehttp://www.eiji-hanaoka.com/Tatsuji Deguchi's official homepagehttp://www.geocities.jp/exit1670023/Koki Nando's official homepagehttp://www.geocities.jp/dr_koki_wb/

Es dificil para aprender una idioma
Me gusta aprender las idiomas.Disfrutaba cuando puedo hablar con alguien viene del extranjero.Pero es difícil para escribir o hablar en estas idiomas.Creo que más difícil idioma es chino. No puedo memorizar las letras.While I was learning English, I heard strange noise.It sounded like a vibrator's sound of a cellular phone.But it kept ringing and the sound is slightly changed each time.I couldn't concentrate on my class, so I asked my teacher what the noise it is.At first, He didn't tell me what it is. But later, he told me that it came from the next room and probably a new student who started learning Chinese was learning how to pronounce.I respect a person who wants to learn Chinese.I'm not good at remembering Chinese character.A friend of mine is also learning Chinese, and she sometimes writing me in Chinese.I always guess what she is trying to say.Last time, I did a good guessing, but I couldn't read “grapefruit”.It was written in three letters. First two letters meant grape, so I knew it something like grape, but I couldn't read the last letter.I wish she will master Chinese soon.Learning language is quite hard.If you can communicate with others, you feel quite content with what you learned.But when you can't understand or reply correctly, you feel you are a beginner.I always feel that I'm a beginner when I ask to make an example or ask questions in a class.I'm not good at making example or questions. Whenever teachers ask me to make one, I can't think of anything. My brain seems to stop working. I can't think of any simple example.I don't know why this happens to me, because I use some of the phrases out of the class.Maybe that's why I keep learning English, let me prepare for any situation!?

Adio's Barcelona!
I read news article about Javier Saviola.It said he would transfer to Monaco.I think it is good for him, if he can play football there.I wonder why he didn't have a good chance to play.To tell you the truth, I wanted to see him play in Valencia CF.I'm sure he and Pablo Aimar will be a good combination and they will let us see a wonderful play!But he will go to Monaco. I wish this term will be good time for him.I saw a game between Real Madrid and Mallorca on TV.I don't like Real Madrid because they buy good players.In my point of view, they are “money is everything” team…I prefer the team which can do team play.Even if each players aren't very famous, and their salary is not quite expensive, but as a team, they are strong! That's the best team for me.That's why I love Valencia CF!I got great shock when I heard Michael Owen transferred to Real Madrid.Once I called him “traitor”, because he was my favorite player in England, and I wanted him to play in Liverpool.I still think that way but when I saw him in Real Madrid, his play didn't change at all.Then I had to admit that I would see as many Real Madrid game as possible this term.Alright, I should say that I like players in Real Madrid but I don't like the team from now on.
