やっと週末が来たなー 高校三年生活は難しい所があっても大体詰まらないんだ。 昨日「末」の意味分かりが強くなってされた。「終わり」というイメージがあろので、「週末」とか単語は「働き週間が終わり日」意味があって分かりに来て喜んだ。辞書に一つだけ単語を探しても別な定義を読むと理解が深まる。なので実は辞書を読むのは勉強方としてかなり面白くて楽しいと思う it's not such a bad thing to waste time, I'm starting to think. I used to fret about using my time in the best, most efficient way; to do as many interesting and different things as I could. but now I see that there's no rush ... » Continue Reading
いつもと同じ、英語の下には、日本語で書きごとあります。 (I will not make any comments of my own. I will simply italicise my favourite passage.) Chemistry The number of people who have no intention to work or who are not working is increasing. As indicated by the kanji character which means "to work", it means to continue our life by moving and sweating; it is different from just having a "job". Having an income is not equiv... » Continue Reading
on the drive home from sydney yesterday, my father put on eminem's newest album. this was awesome news to a sleep-deprived & fatigued me, who has always associated eminem with her dad, putting him on whenever I needed to channel my inner white boy. per my father's description (the only one I'm interested in hearing btw), the album is about the current politically correct eminem fighting against sl... » Continue Reading
hi again, friends ! I am enjoying the burst of inspiration & will keep writing blogs while I feel like it. sadly, I am back in australia. there's not a nicer way to say it. I preferred it in japan; I liked my life more, randomly blaring sirens outside my hotel room & all. it gives me something to hope for, though, which is what I desperately needed. I have something to believe in again. I am enj... » Continue Reading
皆さん、こんばんは! today we went to nara- a place that, as somebody born in its sister city, I actually really connected to & felt strongly for; I felt my heart opening while I was strolling around between temples & shrines, as if I had made it back to an ancestral home. (alongside having the most wonderful lunch of my entire stay). at tōdaiji, I prayed for good luck at the aquarium; at kasuga-taisha shri... » Continue Reading
hiya friends ! I'm currently in japan (riding on the nozomi shinkansen as we speak), living out what are genuinely some of the happiest & best days of my entire life. (please help, I can't bear knowing that I have to leave soon.) in doing so, I'm trying to get started early on another very happy day, my wedding; by searching for my future husband as I go (following my dear mother's confirmation th... » Continue Reading
皆さん、お久しぶり! today I thought I'd like to talk about a flower that spring has brought in on its soft, warm feathers; 今まで全然気づかなかった, but that has quickly absorbed all of my affection: the wisteria flower ! this is the first year I've noticed their presence in my local area, likely due to this chart of maiko kanzashi (decorative hair pin) seasonalities: » Continue Reading

today's songs of the day are the 2024 (or budokan) version of megitsune & moametal's cover of headbangya!! with that out of the way (though I'll probably have difficulty writing because I want to headbang) I'll now run you all through my thoughts as of late! they're not really deep- it is a friday night, after all. ... references in babymetal songs to traditionally japanese ones > the beginning of... » Continue Reading
hi friends! today was very intense- I'm not sure if it was similar for you all but at school everybody just seemed so irritated & more short-fused than usual. we've had a big increase in outbursts & squabbling & even just general noises (like yelling & commotion from running). I'm in the midst of it currently seeing as it's wednesday, but it is getting to me a little bit. I got triggered about hal... » Continue Reading
