I wonder why... - 2012.05.20 Sun

As I mentioned before, I've met lots of bloggers, who are interested in English and have been endeavoring to improve their English, through my site.

Whenever I visit their blogs, I try to post my comments except for the case I don't have enough time.
Occasionally, I have a chance to meet a few of them. Then, everyone says, "Oh, I always visit your blog and read some journals." Each time I hear like that, I wonder why they don't post their comments.... At the same time, I'm so sad to hear that.

They may flatter me or my journals may be not enough to intrigue them, though. I don't care at all no matter what ages, careers or English skills. As you know, my English is still not perfect. I'm always making rudimentary mistakes.
If they're reluctant to post their comments in English, they can write them in Japanese. If they are wavering between telling me something and keeping it to themselves, they can check a secret box and click.

I don't want to sound like pessimistic, but nothing makes me sad and downcast than just visiting here without saying anything in spite of frequent visitors...T T

My strange voice might have bothered, but... - 2012.05.17 Thu

Ever since I started to post English diaries on my blog, I've met lots of friends through my site. Thanks to them, I'm always inspired to keep brushing up on my English, and I've learned not only useful expressions, but how to maintain my motivation to keep learning English. It may sound exaggerated, but it's true.

Yesterday I got a message from a fellow blogger of mine, who is versed in accounting. She had a whim to have a natter through Skype together. We know we've been tied up with our work, so we're having trouble finding time to chat. However, it's been ages since we last talked. As such, I was willing to have time for our conversation.

Unluckily I've been suffering from hay fever although the symptoms are getting better. I was afraid my weird voice would bother our conversation or make her uncomfortable, but I tried chatting.

Thanks to her, I could practice speaking and enjoyed having a natter in English. I hope we'll chat together soon. :D

Happy Mother's Day! - 2012.05.13 Sun

Today is Mother's Day, isn't it. Did you express your gratitude to your mother?

As for me, I decided to send orchids to my mother, who loves flowers, and give my mother-in-law a bunch of preserved flowers. It took some time to decide what to present such as Japanese sweets, clothes or accessories. It sounds it's a wee bit tiresome, in point of fact, not at all. I enjoyed contemplating each present.

Anyway, Happy Mother's Day!!

While we are heading for..... - 2012.05.06 Sun

Today's the last day of the holiday-studded week called Golden Week. How's your holidays?

Well, my family visited my hubby's parents and spent quality time together.
On 4th, we went to Nagasaki where my father-in-law was born to visit our grave and relatives. Some might think we used an express way. However, we didn't do that because my father-in-law is scared of using it. As such it took us about three hours and half by car. It sounds boring, but actually not at all. While we were heading for Nagasaki, I sit on the last row of the rear seat (Our car is a station wagon which can hold seven people.) and I was listening to Pod Cast. Needless to say, they were all for English learners. In addition, I was immersed in listening to some programs for native English speakers such as CNN or BBC.

It was a long driving, but I felt fulfilled. Moreover, I was lucky to have enough time to study English. :D
