el an~o pro’ximo sera’ pacifico y maravilloso
I finished writing New Year’s card, at last.I feel dizzy now…Anyway, I had a very happy year.I’m looking forward next year.I’m sure I’ll spend a wonderful time next year.I don’t know why but I feel it!TV shows that the scenery around some temples.People ring the big bell one hundred and eight times.One hundred and eight means desires for worldly things in Buddhism.So, people ring the bell one hundred and eight times to renounce worldly desires.I hope next year will be the peaceful and wonderful year for all of us!

El mejor libro de textos espan~ol para el principiante
I found a book that I had been looking for a long time.It is a textbook of Spanish.The book is called “よくわかる初級スペイン語(The best Spanish textbook for beginner)”Sorry, I can't translate it completely, but I hope you got the feeling!The reason that I was looking for this textbook was simple.It was unique!I found that a part of its contents was different from others.I thought this textbook told us a little bit of Latin culture.Let me show you one example.Leccion 96 Aunque me pida la mano un señor que sea muy rico.(Although a billionaire proposes marriage to me)Sra. Seco: No creo que Ken se case con una española.(I don’t think Ken will marry a Spanish girl.)Lola: Pero, mamá Qué quieres decir con eso? No comprendo lo que dices.(But mum. what do you mean? I don’t understand what you are talking about.)Sra. Seco: Una mujer casada con un asiático no será muy feliz. Sus costumbres son demasiado distintas de las nuestras.(A girl who marries an Asian guy won’t be very happy. Their customs are much different from ours.)Lola: Mamá, por ahora no pienso casarme con nadie, aunque me pida la mano un se ñor que sea muy rico.(Mum, I don’t have in mind to marry anybody now, although a billionaire proposes marriage to me.)Can you believe it?I don’t think you won’t see this kind of conversation in a textbook if you learn Japanese.I guess a person who writes this textbook, although she is Japanese, wanted us to learn a little bit of Latin culture, too!!!That is quite useful, isn’t it!?

Por favor, juega al fu’tbol para Valencia!
There was news about Pablo Aimar.It said he told to a news reporter that he wanted to transfer to a Liverpool FC.Liverpool is my favorite team in England and its coach is Rafa Benitez now.Rafa Benitez is Valencia’s former coach.I don’t blame Pablito if he longs for transferring to Benitez’s team, because he doesn’t have much chance to play these days.Who can blame him?He just wants to play football!Football players naturally love play football, don’t they?I prefer him to play for Liverpool if he moves to other team!But before that, I want to ask Ranieri one thing.PLEASE LET HIM PLAY FOR VALENCIA!!!

Co’mo usted lo traduce en ingle’s?
It was the last day of work this year.When I got back from a meeting, my colleague came to me and said one of the database was broken.I checked the database and found that there was no problem with it.The problem was a data itself.I fixed these data and went out for lunch.It took me for one hour to fix those data, so I left my office at one o’clock.It was quite good for me because it was a little bit late for lunch, so I didn’t have to wait to enter most of the restaurants.Generally I’m not a person who longs for delicious food.I’m rather a person who sees an importance in quantity, not quality.But it was my last day of work this year, and I was longing to eat something delicious.I went to a Japanese restaurant which serves local food in Kyoto.They serve only three types of plate at lunch, Kani zousui (a porridge of rice and vegetables with crab), Dashimaki-tamago (a soup stock omelet), and Yaki-zakana teishoku (a roast fish plate).I ordered Dashimaki-tamago and it was fabulous as usual.When I deeply felt the happiness that I was able to eat this delicious meal in the end of working day, I heard two men entered the restaurant.They sounded native English speakers.One of them introduced this restaurant to the other person.He said thing like this “You must try this restaurant’s SCRAMBLED EGG. It is delicious!”Is it right to translate Dashimaki-tamago to scrambled egg in English?

Se permite difundir noticias como estas?
I read an article about a movie called “Finding Neverland”.I wasn’t interested in this movie before I read it.At first, I thought it was just a Peter Pan’s story.But the real story is a kind of biography of a writer who wrote Peter Pan.I listened to BBC radio through internet, and it was reported about this movie.A reporter said things like this was a good and heart warming movie.I laughed a little bit, because she said “Johnny Depp is a right actor to play this writer James Matthew Barrie. Barrie was a young hearted and played with children without hesitation.But handsome, slim, cool Johnny Depp didn’t look like James Matthew Barrie at all.”These words weren’t precisely at all, because my memory wasn’t good enough to remember everything.But she said things like this.Is it allowed to broadcast things like this world wide for a company like BBC?How does James Matthew Barrie feel if he is still alive and hear this???

Brisa apacible del Brasil
I went to see a live performance today.Today’s musician was Toku.Toku is known as a jazz singer and flugel horn player in Japan.He is getting popular and now, he is a main character of an advertisement of bourbon called Four Roses.I haven’t heard his songs before except TV commercial song.The bar was filled with young women.There were also men but it seemed they were brought by their girl friends.For me, jazz is music for elder people, so this was a very rare experience.Unfortunately, I was getting sleepy after the show started.I didn’t want to fall a sleep, then I saw an angel coming through a door…I didn’t go mad.She was a guest of this concert.Her name was Tokiwa Kinoshita and she was a bossa nova singer.She sang some Brazilian songs which included “the girl from Ipanema”.That was quite fun to listened to.Her voice was smooth and beautiful!You can feel the warmth in Brazil, even though you are in winter in Japan.I liked Toku’s songs too, although I was sleepy.He was cool while he was singing…Well, his voice was quite sexy because it was low and husky.I know it doesn’t sound that I enjoyed this concert at all, but I enjoyed it!!!The homepage of TOKUhttp://toku-jazz.com/The homepage of Tokiwa Kinoshitahttp://www1.ttcn.ne.jp/~tokiwa/

La cosa tipica del final del an~o en japo’n!
I kept writing New Year’s cards all day long.I usually change design of each card.I buy CD-ROM of designs and pictures of New Year's card each year.I don’t like sending the same cards to everyone.The reason is simple.I am sure I will get bored if I use the same design for everyone.And I don’t like writing messages by my own hand.It’s too tough for me to do.I like choosing designs for each of my friends.I think of them and choose the best design for each of them.That’s really fun.It’s also fun to write messages for each of them.The most important thing of writing cards is how many jokes I can write!Perhaps, I am the one who enjoy my New Year’s card the most.I’ll keep writing cards tomorrow.This is the typical year-end event in Japan!

Es e’l feliz o infeliz?
How did you spend Christmas Eve?I ate a cheese cake, a waffle and a chocolate tart.What a wonderful day!!!Christmas Eve and Christmas day are usually days for lovers in Japan.I found that the most of my colleagues had already left at six o’clock.Some of them left early to spend a wonderful time with their love and others did because of their MIE.What should I describe this word “MIE”?Here is some answers from an internet dictionary.見栄（みえ） show; (a) display; 〈虚栄〉 vanity見栄を張る（みえをはる） show off; be vain見栄で（みえで） for show; for appearance' sakeSo, this is my translation of a sentence above.Others left early to pretend that they would meet their love.How’s that? That is the perfect translation, isn’t it?Mind you, I didn’t leave early to pretend to see my boyfriend.I HAPPENED to finish my work earlier and I didn’t planned!!!I suppose that one of my colleagues was talking about his girl friend, and he was glad he didn’t see her today.Here are the good reasons not to see her, apparently my colleague.1. He didn’t have to reserve a good restaurant and to spend a fortune for a gorgeous dinner.2. He didn’t have to buy an expensive gift.3. He could stay at home and probably play video game “Dragon quest” as long as possible.I thought he was really glad to spend his time for himself.But he didn’t seem happy at all and he said “Merry Christmas!” a little bit angrily to me when I left my office.I encountered a HUGE difficulty of understanding men’s feelings!

Fu'tbolista o Hobbit?
I saw a video of the match between Barcelona and Valencia.I knew the result before I watched it.The match was quite exciting one.Both team played really hard to win.Aimar entered the match from 86 minutes, but I wanted to see him play much longer!By the way, I found a funny homepage today.It is called “FC Hobbits”.You have already gotten the idea of this homepage, haven’t you?This page was made for fans of football players who are shorter than 175 cm.I found it extremely funny, especially the page of “The Hobbit certificate”.I laughed so hard when I read some of the comments of this page.Unfortunately, this page was written only in Japanese, but the photos were also funny so please visit once!FC Hobbitshttp://fchobbits.fc2web.com/index.htm

A’rbol de Navidad estuvo cantando!
There was a Christmas party with some of my friends.We ate, drink, chat and laugh.Oh, we cried because we laughed so hard!But I forgot what we were talking about.Haven’t you experienced?When I laugh so hard and can’t breathe, I want to tell about it to my friends but I can’t because I don’t remember what I laughed about.After we finished eating, we went to see a Christmas tree.We were in Yokohama.There was a big Christmas tree in Land mark tower but we saw other Christmas tree.It was called “Singing Christmas tree”.It sings once in an hour.It wasn’t exactly singing.The colours of lights were changed with music.It was really beautiful but I was disappointed when I heard a song from “Sonata in winter (Fuyu no Sonata)”!Disney’s songs and the song don’t match, in my opinion.I uploaded some photo of this tree in Freepage.Please watch them, if you are interested!

cielo o infierno?
I would like to show you two things today.One of them is something to eat and the other is something to drink.Both of them were souvenirs from my friend.Firstly, I would like to start with something to eat.It is a caramel.It isn’t a usual caramel as you suspect.The name of this product is “Genghis Khan Caramel”.Can you imagine what it tastes like?Genghis Khan is a historical person but its name is also known as a Mongolian mutton barbecue.So, I ate a caramel which has a taste of a Mongolian mutton barbecue.Now you can imagine, can’t you???It is sweet, sour, oily, and salty.I give these caramels to some of my colleague, and accidentally I forgot to tell one of them what the taste is like.He was surprised and threw it up within three seconds.I recommend you to buy it if you try something new or like oily foods.Secondly, milk coffee tea.I’ve ever drunk milk coffee and milk tea (tea with milk or white tea) but I’ve never tried milk coffee tea.It was a souvenir from Taiwan.My friend told me it was quite famous there.I tasted it and it was delicious.It is quite easy to drink, but its flavor was almost milk coffee in my opinion.Why don’t you try it when you visit Taiwan?Well, the tastiest of all today was soft chocolate of Royce’.I am very much conservative about food…The homepage address of ROYCE’ Confect Co., Ltd.http://www.e-royce.com/index.jsp

Cantamos una cancio’n en la boda de mi amiga
I attained my friend’s wedding party.Friends of the bridegroom were all men.They all wore black suits.If they all wore black sunglasses, they might look like a group of agent Smith.The food was Japanese and was very delicious.The amount of food was too much for me, so I couldn’t finish a couple of plates, although I finished eating fruits and a piece of cake.That happens a lot! (^^;)My friends and I sang a song for this couple.We couldn’t sing perfectly, but sang as well as we could.I feel nervous whenever I do something in front of a crowd, but I didn’t feel it at all today.Perhaps, I didn’t have time to feel it!

La u’nica flor del mundo
There is my friend’s wedding party tomorrow.She is Japanese, so I suppose it will be a typical Japanese one.Their managers and colleagues will make some speeches, and perhaps bride will also make a speech to make her parents cry.And I’ll sing a song with my friends for this lovely couple.We will sing a song called “世界に一つだけの花(the unique flower of the world).It was originally sung by a famous Japanese pop group called SMAP.I listened to this song over and over again but I’m not sure I will be able to sing it.Listening and singing is a different thing, you know.I hope I won’t miss a tone!I keep learning Spanish with a book called “サッカーを愛する人のスペイン語(Spanish for people who love football”And I learned these words yesterday.ファン／サポーター(fan/supporter)Spain: aficionado, fanático, seguidorArgentina: hinchaフーリガン(hooligan)Spain: ultraArgentina: barrabravaブーイングする(booing)Spain: silbarArgentina: putearThese words are useful for football fans, aren’t they???

Es dificil explicarlo en ingles!
I had three meeting today.When I finished all of them, I was too exhausted to work extra hour.I was rewrite some documents but I wasn’t sure what I was doing…I sometimes found myself to read the same line for more than three times.I hope I finished all my tasks completely.By the way, one of my coworker who is in the sales division came to me in the morning.He gave me a memo and said “please call her!”I didn’t understand what he was saying so I read the memo.It said “You had a call from Miss -----. She wants you to call her back and to explain one of our product IN ENGLISH!!!”I cried out at once “YOU ARE JOKING, AREN’T YOU?”, although I was extremely sure that he wasn’t joking at all.Here is a good example of a problem of Japanese companies.There are many good sales clerk but they don’t have a confident of communicating in English, even though the most of them had experiences in staying abroad.Yes, they are so called “KIKOKU-SHIJO”I really wanted to help him, but I’m not a sales clerk, so I didn’t have a confident of explaining our products.I suppose I can explain them if our clients ask me questions but I don’t know how to explain them to make our products much more attractive.Finally, one of our sales clerks did this huge task.I was listening and I was deeply impressed by his explanation.It was quite easy for listener to understand and, this was quite unexpected, it sounded he made quite good relationship with her.He kept talking up beat, and sometimes he was laughing.If I were him, I would keep explaining and didn’t let her to have a chance to ask any questions.I know it isn't customer friendly at all!Well, I must learn speaking techniques in Japanese first.And we all must learn English communication skills, just in case!

Cual es la idea major?
My colleague first recorded voices at a meeting by tape recorder, but its battery was run out in the middle of the meeting.So, I recorded them by my CLIE yesterday for her.My colleague needed them to make a minute of this meeting.I recorded it successfully, but it lasted about one hour so the size of the data was over 33 mb.Although I moved the data to my computer at home, I didn’t have a way to send it to my colleague.It was too big to upload to a free storage website, and I couldn’t attach it to an e-mail.If only my office’s computer was made by Sony, I could use my memory stick…Life was not so easy.Finally, I exported it to my ipod mini.I thought it was a brilliant idea!When I finished exporting it, I thought “what did I do it for???”Then I talked to myself, I did it for 1. to save my personal data, it is not safe because anyone can see my schedule and address book if I let somebody to use my CLIE, and 2. it is much easier to use ipod than CLIE.But I am still looking for a good reason why I did it!Who knows???

Buen trabajo Zaspa!
Marinos pierdó por Zaspa Kusatsu en la copa de emperador.No quiero decir nada más...Marinos lost a match for Zaspa Kusatsu in the Emperor cup.I don’t want to write about it anymore.I went to BENGOSHI KAIKAN (Legal Counseling Center) for our company business.I was excited to go there, because I’ve never been there.And people don’t usually go there a lot in Japan, in my opinion.I can’t deny that I was half in a mood for sightseeing.I expected that it was an old and a little bit dark place and there were full of old lawyers who carry a pile of documents to and fro.But that was only my prejudice.It was a usual office building, although RAMEN costs you more than 1,000 yen in the restaurant located in the basement of this building!By the way, I went to buy a Christmas presents to one of a famous department stores in Japan.And I asked a clerk to let me see an accessory.It was a silver pin brooch.But the clerk said “この虫ピンですね (you would like to see this MUSHI-PIN, wouldn’t you?)”I just lost for words. And I tried so hard not to laugh.It was a very famous luxury accessory shop and clerks were very cool and conservative.Then why I thought it was so funny?MUSHI-PIN means just a pin and more than that MUSHI means insects.So I imagined insects collecting with this beautiful brooch.That’s not funny. I should say it was weird!

Puede ser co’mo una Cinderella!
I went to a bookstore again.I wondered and read some books and left there without buying anything.I had been there for about one hour.And I found a book called “王子様に出会い愛される シンデレラの教え (How to meet and to be loved by Prince from a Cinderella story)”.I thought it was a quite interesting book.This book tells us that everybody can be rich, attractive and happy, if you have a positive mind and trust yourself.Just do so, you will be rich, have a great boyfriend, and become an attractive girl!This is a phrase I like the most of this book is… If your boyfriend doesn’t have a dream and he is not rich…Break up and leave him as soon as possible!!!You will see better guy soon!!!That was really funny because the writer of this book is men.I thought this was a girl’s way of thinking.The most important thing in your life is have a POSITIVE MIND!!!タイトル：王子様に出会い愛される シンデレラの教え出版社：宝島社著者：佐藤 富雄価格：￥1,260（税込）

Espan~ol para quien le gusta el fu’tbol
Fuí a la librería.No fuí a comprar nada. Solamente quería ver a los libros.Y enconté un libro se llama “español para quíen le gusta el fútbol”.Compré esté libro, por supuesto!I went to a bookstore.I didn’t have in mind to buy anything particular.I walked to and fro for a while.Then, I found a book called “サッカーを愛する人のスペイン語(Spanish for people who love football”.I bought it, of course.It was a kind of Spanish Japanese dictionary about football in Spain and Argentina.It is quite useful dictionary, at least for me!!!Here are some good examples of this book.In Spain: De qué equipo eres?In Argentina: De qué cuadro (hincha) sos?In English: Of which team do you like the most?日本語: どこのチームのファンですか？The words “cuadro” and “hincha” are the same meaning “team”.In Spain: Soy del Valencia!In Argentina: Soy de Valencia!In English: I’m a fan of Valencia!日本語: Valenciaのファンです！You can use these phrases from now!本の詳細タイトル：サッカーを愛する人のスペイン語出版社：国際語学社著者：今井 健策（ファンルーツ・インターナショナル）定価：本体1,500円＋税

Final de Copa inter-continental (Toyota Cup)
Have you seen the Toyota Cup today?The match was between Porto from Portugal and Once Caldas from Colombia.I’m afraid to say but I wasn’t very much interested in it before the match started.But I enjoyed watching it.Both teams played very well.They played usual 90 minutes game but both teams didn’t get a score, so they continued playing extra game for 30 minutes.I was very surprised that they kept the ball moving.Usually, players are getting tired, so they are slowing down little by little.Today, they weren’t slowing down at all.Perhaps, they really wanted to be the champion of this cup.But they didn’t score during the extra game, so they moved on to Penalty Kick.I must say both teams’ strength were almost the same, so it was a matter of luck.Toyota cup is held to qualify the champion of the world.Actually, it is a match between a champion of Europe and South America.And this is the final year for the Toyota Cup.It will be changed to a tournament of the champions of six continents.I happened to know that the second sound channel was broadcasted in Spanish.Then, I changed it to Spanish one.I haven’t experienced watching a football game with listening to Spanish.I suppose that you will enjoy watching it with listening to Spanish because it is livelier than Japanese one.It is like you watch it with Jay Kabira.It is easy for you to imagine, isn’t it?I realized that it is much more fun to watch it when you are a LITTLE BIT excited!

Ole’! Ole’! Ole’!
Yokohama F. Marinos ganó por Urawa Red diamond!Entonces, Marinos es el campeon del japón este año.Los jugadores de ambos equipos jugaron de maravillas!Tengo otra buena noticia para mí!Roberto Fabian Ayala, es una defensa muy fuerte en Valencia CF, volverá en la lista de convocados del proximo partido!!!Estoy muy contenta ahora!!!Yokohama F. Marinos won the champion ship!That means Marinos is this year’s champion in Japan.There were two tournament in a year and the champions of each tournament had each matches in both team’s fields.There was a match in Yokohama last week, and Marinos won this game.The score was Marinos 1 - 0 Reds.And today’s match, the score was Reds 1 - 0 Marinos.When they finished the match, both teams had the same point.After the match, there was a short match to qualify this year’s champion but both teams didn’t score.Finally, Marinos won this match by penalty kick.I think they played this long match very well.There is other good news for me.Roberto Fabian Ayala, the best defender in Valencia CF, comes back from the injury and will join the team for the next Numancia’s match.I want to add one more thing.It was announced that Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi joined Jubilo Iwata.I was disappointed because he used to play for Marinos, so I wanted him to play for Marinos again.But as far as he plays football, I want him to play well!

Hace treinta minutos viajar al otro pais!?
I stayed at a famous hotel last night.I sometimes want to stay a hotel by myself.It is very good for me to refresh my mind.It was very relaxing time to be all alone.One of my favorite is spending time in a bathroom.It usually takes me more than one hour.I sometimes find myself sleeping in a bathtub.Nobody is waiting for me, so I can spend time as long as I want.I realized that bath time is very important for my life.I really want to finish reforming the bathroom in my house!I ate breakfast at a restaurant in the hotel.Most of the people who ate breakfast were foreigners.I was eating my rice crispy with half awake, and all I could hear was business talks in English.It seemed I was taking a trip somewhere abroad.Anyway, that was a really good English lesson!

La batalla de postres!
There was a Christmas party at my company.All employees had to be there before the party started.That is a typical Japanese company, isn’t it?Well, we finished working by 17:30, and ran to the party.The party was started by a wonderful speech of our president, and it was followed by vice-president.After the useful VIP speech, we were allowed to eat.The food was delicious, but one of my coworker exclaimed that “Give me carbohydrates!”I admit that there were a few carbohydrates.All I can remember is Paella.I saw many people from our subsidiaries, group companies, and some from partner companies.I was obsessed with food, so I probably lost some chances to talk to them.One of my coworker spoke to me “Wow, you looked very concentrated on choosing your plate.”But one of the biggest events was “desserts”.There were variety fruits and cakes.Women were running for it and the table was surrounded by them soon.I was waiting in line but the line didn’t seem to move at all.I saw girls were trying to squeeze in, and the scenery was exactly the law of the jungle.Girls must be strong to eat delicious desserts!

Soy una madre en mi officina?
I attended a seminar of human communication.We listened to a lecture about psychology.It was quite interesting.The most interesting thing was a questionnaire.We answered over fifty five questions about your action or how you think.The question is like “You haven’t made a mistake” and you must choose your answer from “yes”, “no” and “can’t decide”.From these answers, you can see your type of personality.The type was described by 5 categories, CP, NP, A, FC and AC.Fifteen people were there and everyone’s result was shown the end of the seminar.I was very surprised that no one had the same result.But it seemed sales staff was tended to be categorized as FC (Free Child).They are good at socialize and have free mind.How about my personality?I was an NP (Nurturing Parent) person.The meaning of NP is like a mother who raises children.I asked the speaker to explain my personality from 5 category’s scores.He stared at these scores and said “You are conservative, kind, and take care of others. People feel relieved when they are with you.”I thought it was great. I was supposed to be a very good person.And he continued “But… Aren’t you feeling big stress now?”I couldn’t reply instantly because I was too surprised at his words and I thought I should not to admit it for public.Oh, I am quite AP person, right? (^^;)Apparently, my personality is explained with this one word “mother”.Perhaps, my coworkers around me are my children!!!

Vamos a hacerlo mejor!
I wrote that the bathroom in my house was under construction.I had written that there was a bad leak in the roof in my office.I thought the roof would finish fixing last weekend, but it seemed they couldn’t finished it.A part of the roof was removed and it was covered with white cloth. The lights were replaced and it glittered bitterly because it is new ones.Whenever Colleagues came to me, they said “Isn’t it too bright? It isn’t good for your eyes to use computer here”.I was very glad that they cared about me.Unfortunately, I can’t work without my computer…When will it all finish?I hope these reforms will finish by the end of this year and I will be able to work in a refreshed office and take a bath in a new bathroom!!!

Viva Ban~o japone’s!
The bathroom of my house is under construction.There was a fault when we had reformed it last time.It passed over three years and a part of the floor was getting rot.Finally, it got rot and made a big hole on the floor.So, we asked engineers to fix it.But, can you believe it? It takes 5 days to fix it!While they fix it, we can’t use bathroom.As long as you have to work in a daytime, it is a craziest thing that you don’t take a bath for 5 days.However, we are lucky, our relative live near our house.We asked them to let us use it.But it was funny, because I have to walk outside after finished bathing.And I was walking with my head was covered with a towel!It looks like one of the scene from a song called “Kanda-gawa”, doesn’t it?

Marinos sera’ el campeo’n en Japo’n
There was a first Champion’s match between Yokohama F. Marinos and Urawa Reds.The result was…Marinos won this match!!!I was quite excited to watch this match, because I’m a fan of Marinos!This match was held in Yokohama.It meant Marinos’s home game.But next match will be held in Saitama.I suppose Saitama stadium will be filled with Red’s supporter on that day.It will be one of the hardest games for Marinos.I was watching this match on TV.Although it was a home game for Marinos, the voice of Red’s supporter’s was bigger than Marinos’s.Whenever goal keeper possessed a ball, booing of Red’s supporter was extraordinary loud.I thought it was held in Saitama stadium.I’m very much looking forward to watching it!And I’m sure Marinos will be the champion this year!

Asisti la fiesta de Navidad en mi escuela
There was my school’s Christmas party.I was looking forward to going there.I enjoyed this party but it was still hard for me to speak to someone who I don’t know.And it was also hard for me to keep talking in English for over two hours.I’m a shy Japanese girl, so I don’t usually speak to stranger.So, I talked to someone who spoke to me.When it had passed for one hour, I got tired and felt sleepy…While my brain was working, I heard something interesting.We were talking about tests.My teacher said many Japanese students complained that it took too much time to take TOEIC test.However Japanese test was much longer than TOEIC test, according to him.It takes four and a half hours!!!He said three of the teachers would take that test the next day.That’s why I couldn’t see some teachers.The last time I took TOEIC test, I slept about twenty minutes, so I was really sorry for them who would take Japanese test.Apparently, there are breaks during the test...But four hours!!!I’m sure I’ll sleep at least one hour!Oh well, I must describe it correctly.I won’t sleep but lose conscious.

During the lunch break, my colleagues and I was talking about our favorite foods.One of us recommended an ice cream.She didn’t remember its name but she said it was extremely tasty.She described the ice cream.It was an ice cream bar and a lot of NAMA-CHOCO (soft chocolate) blocks were in it.I totally forgot about it till I got off a commuter train.When the image of the ice cream bar hit my head, it obsessed my mind.I couldn’t ignore the thought of eating it and I found myself looking for it at a convenience store.Well, how could I found it?I don’t know the name of it.I only know that it is an ice cream bar which contains NAMA-CHOCO.And also, my colleague said she couldn’t remember the name of the maker but it wasn’t made by a famous company.I looked for it from these hints and I found it!The one I found at a convenience store was “生チョコがおいしいアイスバー (the ice bar which contains delicious NAMA-CHOCO)” made by オハヨー(OHAYO).I sent an e-mail to my colleague to confirm if I bought right one but I haven’t got a reply yet.Although I haven’t got a reply, I’m sure I bought the right one.It’s simple.I ate it and it was really delicious.As far as my tongue works right, my decision cannot be wrong!# # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Probably, I was wrong…I visited OHAYO’s homepage and I found that there were other ice cream bar called “グラス・オ・ショコラ (Glace au chocolat)”.I remember that she said it was coated by chocolate…I must find it and try it as soon as possible!!!The homepage address of OHAYO DIARY PRODUCTS CO,. LTD. (Japanese only)http://www.ohayo-milk.co.jp/

Co’mo celebra Navidad?
Christmas is a day for lovers in Japan.We can see a lot of advertisement for them, “please buy this fabulous accessory for your girl friend” or things like that.I receive many e-mails which promote hotel accommodation plans these days.I went to a drug store which is called Matsumoto Kiyoshi.Christmas songs were kept playing in that store.But the lyrics were changed from its original one.While I was hearing these songs, I thought I must write New Year’s cards…How romantic, isn’t it?

Hace bastante tiempo que no hablo en espan~ol!
One of my colleagues speaks Spanish, Korean, English and Japanese very fluently.He tried to speak to me in Spanish today.But it seemed he got tired because it was already past 8 o’clock and he didn’t speak well at all.He was speaking like this.Tu… estudiar… español... No, estudiarás... Ummm, what do you call “today” in English?I was quite surprised because he was a kind of chatterbox person, so it was rare for him to mumble.I hesitated to reply. I am a beginner of learning Spanish, so I felt that it is like showing off my knowledge.I replied “I suppose the word “today” is “hoy” in Spanish” in a sheepish voice.He mumbled the word “hoy” several times, and he said it wasn’t the right answer.For him, the meaning of the word “hoy” is “there is” or “there are”.I didn’t understand the word he was thinking at that time, however I encountered it after we left.The word he was trying to say was “hay”.Anyway, I was right!!!By the way, my reply to his question was “No, no estudiaré español hoy, porque no tendré mucho tiempo para estudiar!”(No, I won’t study Spanish because I won’t have much time to study!)I spoke this phrase very easily.I wonder why I could speak this phrase very easily.And I noticed that I use this phrase very often!!!You must use the language if you want to master it as soon as possible!?
