hello. that panasonic series is quite bulky for a normal camera and yes, the colours aren't attractive either. maybe you can consider the Pentax K-x if you want something colourful yet small but performs very well. even better than the
Hai! How are you? I'm really sorry for the late reply :( I've been too busy lately,too. BTW I've decided to buy new digital camera! It is Panasonic DMC-FZ38-K. But I don't like its color (I don't like black very much)
師匠、こんにちは！ How are you? It's a national holiday today in JP 体育の日です It's a fine and the Sun is shinning. 眩しい！BTW Gosh! My 8-years-old digital camera has broken! I'm gonna get new one on the Internet. 金欠病です
i'm very busy too. it is my final year in university and i am trying to finish alot of things so that i can graduate in spring. i'm also dying to. also dying to go on my holiday....... take care!
(who is also a guy) has his own range of gothic lolita apparel called "moi-meme-moite" now. haha. but i don't think gackt is ever going to wear those clothes again.
i've "known" gackt for more than 10years i think. he was in malice mizer at that time. one of the biggest VK groups ever. they had crazy guitars and often crossdressed. the band broke up and gackt started his own solo career and the leader
yes indeed. both japan and phillipines are rather homogeneous societies. i think such countries find it the hardest to accept people who are very different from them.
w. tashika ni kouteki kikan deno shigoto ha kitsui kedo, karou ni naru hodo niha mada mada dayo.. haha.. by the way, this work is only for 10weeks as an enginner. it is compulsory to do it so i can graduate next year.
oh! why do you know Gackt? haha:) I like him very much because he is very beautiful. And oh,I didn't know he has ever dressed up as a woman. oh yeah, I want to read your Yahoo!Japan's diary(blog). But I've lost the URL.
Especially the religions of 2 countries are different. I've heard that a man who has a Philipinne's wife said she never care about Japanese God. His wife is a devout Christian. um:(
Yes,she said that she sometimes misses her family which lives in Philippine:( Yeah, I think 2 countries are too different as well. Religions, way of thinking and customs..etc..um..
ooo. haha. how could i have missed the new gackt single jacket on your profile page. this is not his first time crossdressing, but this time he finally went all the way. great way to celebrate his 10th anniversary of his solo career. haha.
i wonder if there are such courses for business english. cos the way i see it, only in the japanese language is seniority and rank so highly expressed thru speech and writing. oh well.. hmm, i guess she will miss her home country since
work here is no good. pay is very bad cos i haven't finished my degree and the workload is alot. >< everyday i just wake up, go to work, come home, watch tv and sleep. haha. oh, i just started a course on business japanese.
And The story goes that Tsuyoshi Kusanagi will come back to the world of entertainment this month. But nobody knows why he did such a foolish things. I guess he has many stresses. ストレスって怖い
The way to master it is very long for me ...The mass media in jp is reporting everyday about the new flu.Gosh! Finally we find some Japanese are infected!! I hope really the flu panic doesn't spread all over the world.
I had a little trouble to find the juku school I'm learning. um..I feel my English still poor because I don't know how to use phrasal verbs. Recently I go to some English picture book web sites to learn them.
My town 15 years ago hardly had foreigners,but circumstance has changed. I've asked two English cram schools to enroll in them but they refused to enter me.Because they had a full complement of students.
I have a Philippine friend who came to Japan 13 years ago for her work and married a Japanese man.
She is a very lively and lovely woman but she has told me she sometimes miss her mother country.
I've heard a deplorable story.A man has cheated on his wife because he had loved a Philippine woman who is dancer of a pub. (But I don't know what is the foolish man doing now)
These factories are employing some Chinese as inexpensive labor forces. And there are some Philippine pubs and a Russian pub. Some men in this town are very much into young women of foreign countries.
Hi! 師匠! How are you? I'm sorry for the late reply(^^ゞRecently I sometimes neglect my English study. hahaha well, the town I live in has some factories of sewing and two big assembly factories of electronic parts and cameras.
great! I started like that too! Learning from roomaji and other people's translation of songs. Haha. Can I see what you've been translating? And why not try J->E? Or news like how SMAP's Kusanagi was arrested for indecent exposure. lol
and most of the people also expect that. There seems to be little place in Japan for English. I've only seen university students who are as interested as you are in English. Others are the older salaryman. Anyways, translating lyrics is
more efficient. Hmm, wow. I didn't think there'd be many foreigners in Oita. I mean, why would they go there? Oops. I don't think it will have an effect on the official language though because everyone who goes to Japan just learns Japanese
Oh no. I haven't been reading the news lately cos I was busy with exams. Does this change affect other levels? I think the problem is not just the amount of time, but the way it is taught. It has to been changed to make learning English
I'm sure English will become second official language. BTW I started to translate some English lyrics into Japanese recently. But it is very difficult for me!! gyaaa--!!
but it was refused then. Many foreigners come to Japan for their work or their study every year. In my town ,the people from China and Philippines are increasing. We need more communicate with other non-Japanese.
The students of 5 and 6 grades in all of elementary schools have much time than last year to learn English. I have heard a Japanese politician introduced the bill which they embrace with English as second official language.
I assumed they were books for children.(but I didn't read them then) Anyways, It is very good for me to read many English book. Oh! 師匠,Do you know the government of Japan started new educational system from this year?
師匠 Long time no see:) How are you? You're right! "The phantom of the Opera" is not suitable book for children. oh,but I've seen it in the library of my elementary school. Then I've seen"Wizard of OZ" at the same library,too.
the materials on the market for learners are so bad.....on the other hand, for japanese, books from jp and taiwan are very well-written and helpful. hmm..
they couldn't get ends to meet. normally with the demand, these schools should have countless students, but still... and oh, i think most language books and CDs are only gimmicks. it's sad that despite english being such a major language,
when to use "the" or "a" and why. and similarly, you can't explain the difference between "ni iku" and "he iku". hmm, english schools are a fierce business in jp. if i remember correctly, alot of schools in sendai were shut down because
"tebukuro wo kaini". haha. e? sagyou5dankatsuyou? it's just following the sa line to conjugate the verb. and for the kakujoshi, don't worry. you don't "know" it cos you already internalised it. like how many english speakers can't explain
was made to read enid blyton and some horrible local books alot. haha. and then i read Wuthering Heights and never read children's books again, until i bought the japanese translated version of The Little Prince and lately, niimi nankichi's
hmm, cos Phantom Of The Opera is not a story for children? also, wizard of the oz is kind of "unnatural" for children i feel. the people i know read it when they are slightly older, not exactly children. i remember when i was very young, i
They make those who are learning English uneasy and lead them to their English schools. or they recommend to buy some English CDs and some textbooks, of course they are high price. To teach English is a profitable business in Japan.
I remember I only mimicked my mother and my kindergarten teachers's talking style.Languages are really strange. I think why a few Japanese say"English Japanese use is almost wrong!!"
I also don't know right Japanese.サ行５段活用?格助詞?I don't know such a complex grammar but ..why can I use Japanese?
I can't explain a distinction between the meaning of 東京(に)行きます and東京(へ)行きます
I've never read them in Japanese so I'm happy because If I don't learn English,I will never read them. But they are really famous stories. I wonder why I didn't read them in my childhood....
Hai! How are you? 師匠 I'm reading 2 books of OXFORD bookworms library series STAGE 1. They are really easy and interesting books. One book is "The phantom of the Opera" and another is the "The wizard of OZ"
try. hmm, maybe you should try to read a series of books written by the same author? harry potter is not a good example thou because the style changes from book to book. i can't think of a good series at the moment. too tired. ><
challenge too. pronunciations are rarely consistent with the spellings and literature always go against one rule or another. someone once said english is a language of exceptions. sadly, learning all the exceptions is impossible. but we can
different language is indeed like a diet. not only does it take time, it has to be maintained regularly. i haven't been reading japanese lately because i've been busy. i think i'm started to get rusty already.english can be quite a challen
i've come across some papers on japanese attitude towards english while writing my own paper. personally, i think many learners have the wrong attitude towards the language (but i shall not go into it cos it's boring). and yes! learning a
Someone said to learn foreign languages and to do diet are the same. There is no magic to my dream come true in an instant. Don't be afraid of making many mistakes when you are learning foreign languages! That's right.
"Let's learn right English!" What's is right? I can't understand right English,so I read many books about grammar. I spent a lot of money in order to learn it,but I got confused increasingly:(
In Japan, some people are suffering in order to master English. Me too. Some English sites which were created by Japanese are always shouting.. "Don't use wrong English!" ”English which Japanese uses are almost wrong !”
oh. don't stress yourself over english grammar yea? nobody in the world speaks perfect "english". in fact, what is "perfect english" in itself? so, don't sweat it.
After all, it took 3 hours to receive the prize.I was dead tired then. I'd like to get away from the stress of my life. My daughters,their school,my work and a eccentric neighbor...HOW STRESSFUL!
My daughter takes 書道 lessons on Fridays night. My daughter and I went to the airport to receive a prize which she had got on 書道. The airport was very crowded with the gathered people to receive their prizes.
Heya! Victer師匠! How have you been? I'm sorry for the late reply. I've seen your pages with many beautiful photographs:) I respect you because I can't photograph any good images. Maybe I scarcely have sense of the beauty
oh no. what happened to the messages? but well, I've read them actually. wow, she must be very good at calligraphy. my handwriting is horrible, and i'm even worse with a brush.
are you stressed because of work, or chores? haha. when i'm stressed, i go out and take photos. you can see what i took yesterday here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aspenx/sets/721576157 and i love meiji coffee milk. ><
hmm, what kind of chore at the airport? so you didn't get to rest at all? for me i was supposed to be studying but i fell asleep reading one of my important textbooks (制御システム工学的). sigh, i'm very stressed too.
oh, i have 2 research projects for linguistics (言語学的研究), 1 more which i am almost done is for marketing. and my black and white film photography project which is terrible cos i lost my entire file of photos. ><
When stress builds up, I take a walk and I drink a milk. Oh! I'm down to the last drop of the milk!!(-_-;) I'm gonna buy some carton of milks from now! 師匠 See you!!
Hi!師匠!:) So many project to do?What kind of the projects do you have? It's holiday today.I wanted to take a nap today,but I couldn't. Because I had to go to a airport for my daughter's chore.I'm under a lot of stress recently(>_<)
oh yea. i'm really busy too. so many projects to do. i hope i finish all in time. hmm, you spent your holiday resting? haha. i guess that is one of the best ways to spend holidays.happy weekend!
Hi! Victer師匠 Long time no see. I'm sorry for the late reply. YAY! It 's a holiday tomorrow! (^_^)v Because I'm tired for my work recently,I'll rest all day long! Are you busy recently,too? ganbatte kudasai ne:)
w. mada daijoubu dayo. urotaeteru nanzo shitenain damon. tabun. kocchi mo chou isogashiide, guai mo anmari... socchi tte, taihen reiu ga futteru no? muri kara nu koto daga, sorya ki wo kusarashimasu ne.. gokigen youni naa.
師匠！大丈夫ですか？お気を確かに 'm also busy for my work recently. I'm depressed. and more over... It has been rainning for over a week. I'd like to see the shining sun as soon as possible(T_T) Take care～♪
omg. 30kg rice bag?! that's a lot of rice. *_* he should help anyways. it wouldn't have been easy even if he carried it alone himself. i've heard about their attitude before. hmm. and then they have all the excuses for acting like that too.
i got 310 points out of 400 even though i "failed" my vocabulary and listening comprehension sections. haha. for jlpt1, it is consider failing if you don't attain 70%. i guess i was lucky. it'd be so boring to study for it all over again.
ah, yes! who in the right mind would believe that a flu is the main reason behind his behaviour. i think they should just do away with the evasive euphemisms..... and oh, i got a letter yesterday. saying that i passed my jlpt1 exam.
Oh! I'm angry now! The ex-Japanese Minister of finance are the worst!!!! Mr.Nakagawa! He's the disgrace of Japan! 万死に値する人ね Anyway good luck on your study watasi mo ganbari masu.
But when I carried a 30 kg rice bag my husband helped me. sasugani omoi mono. They tend to regard their wife and kids as their belongings. So their attitude are very arrogant. 九州男児の証？
Hi! 師匠、お元気ですか？Sorry for the late reply<(_ _)> I envy women in Singapore because Singaporean men are really gentle. Most men in Oita hardly carry any women's (shopping) bags. It's true. How unkind! (T_T)
i was standing the whole day for about 10hours working on film. normally i take photos with my digital camera but i started using film too since january. and no, i'm not a professional. i would be starving and homeless if i tried. haha.
what a vicious cycle. sadly, i'm also used to it already. *_* .. hmm, i thought everyone has to earn to buy what they want? oh no. i get what you mean.. haha. oh well.. i'm not thinking straight. it's 2am and i just got home an hour ago.
cultures. i feel that it is a sad but inevitable thing. the women here are too used to it. so if you can't deliver up to their standards, they'd just look for someone else. and there'd always be someone else cos the men are used to it too!
all men here are gentle? hmm. reminds me of an issue lately about men helping their girlfriends/wives carry their shopping and girly bags etc. the newspaper found that singaporean men are more "docile" to the ladies than men from other
I must earn money to buy what I want. とほほほ BTW I have a question to you. Are you a professional photographer? I think the photos which you shot are very beautiful and delicate(*^_^*)
konbanha Victor-shishou! Oh! I thought we had the custom which gives chocolates from women to men all around the world. But It was mistaken. haha(^_^.) I would like to live in Singapore because all men there seem gentle.
hello. happy valentine's to you too. nope. there is no such custom here nor is there white day. it's always the guy buying all the stuff all the time here. haha. this year's been good. i stayed all home the whole weekend to work on photos.
☆Happy Valentine's Day☆ shishou! How many chocolates did you get? Is there any custom of giving chocolate to a favorite man from a woman, in Singapore? Anyway ,Happy Valentine's Day:)
had fun during your english lesson. i miss my japanese lessons. the teachers always talked to us about crazy things. they were so interesting. i don't know when i'll ever be going for lessons again.... ><
sorry for the late reply. i have been busy with photos, tests and presentations. i still have 1 linguistics test and 1 presentation to do tomorrow. and i lost about 102 photos on monday. not a very good week. hope you're doing better and
pera pera dakke? iya iya.. zenzen sonna koto.. w.. are? ngh ka? tashikani gekijou mitai na toko? he-... ittemitainaa... >< hmm, it's always good to know 1 more dialect/language so i don't think it'll be useless to know tsugaru-ben. haha..
Though I don't like to learn grammar of English,I do like intonation of it. I'm going to take an English lesson tomorrow so I have to prepare for it. see you (^_^)/~
thru the last mahou tsukai ni taisetsu na koto. i'll have to push my japanese studies back because i'm struggling with school and photographing now. haha. hmm, i hope you find a good (cheap and big!) place to call home soon!
