Videos

こんばんは、みんなさん！(konbanwa, minna san!)

So, I have been watching videos from some of the people on Youtube who I am subscribed to and... Watching their videos is, well, kind of inspiring!
I used to make videos too a few years ago. They were poorly done and I didn't want to show them to anyone, yet I also wanted lots of praise for all of the effort I would put into each one. I stopped making videos just before my family and I moved, and I haven't done much to try again... But watching the videos of these Youtubers... Maybe it was the music they used? Or the video clips themselves? But suddenly I felt that I could do an amazing job too if I tried again...

I'm sorry to ramble on about things. I've been doing that a lot lately, I guess.

Well, I really don't have much else to say though. So, I'll write again on Monday.

Thank you for reading my blog and please have a safe New Years Weekend!!!
ありがとうございます！さようなら！(arigatou. sayounara.)
Have a happy New Years!!! \(^-^)/

No snow for Christmas...

こんにちは！(konnichiwa)
Hello everyone!

So, there was no snow for Christmas where I live... T.T Much sad.
I love snow sooo much!!! 雪大好き！(yuki daisuki)

so... Random 日本語! (nihongo)
Word: 優しい(yasashii)
Meaning: gentle, tender, kindly, considerate
Example sentence: 田中さんは心の優しい人です。(Tanaka san wa kokoro no yasashii hito desu.) [Mr.] Tanaka is a kindhearted person.

Ah, I like that word!

Oh, there's another "yasashii".
Word: 易しい (yasashii)
Meaning: easy, simple
Example sentence: 日本語は易しいですか。難しいですか。(Nihongo wa yasashii desu ka? Muzukashii desu ka?) Is Japanese easy? Or is it hard?

Well, two in one day isn't so bad. I'm actually really happy because I could mostly understand both of the example sentences when I was reading them! I hope that means that I'm improving!!!

Anyways, my goal this year is to become fluent in 日本語！(nihongo)
It's going to take a lot of work and I most likely will not become fluent in just one year, but It's important to have goals in life and I recently realized that I don't have any goals for myself...

Please support me on this journey!!!

Thank you for reading my blog! ありがとうございます！(arigatou gozaimasu)
I'll write again later this week! Bye bye for now! さようなら！(sayounara)

メッリクリスマス！！！(merry Christmas!)

こんばんは！元気ですか？(konbanwa! genki desu ka?)

I'm very happy today! Because this にちようび (nichiyoubi) is Christmas!!! ^-^

I like Christmas very much!

I'm very happy about that! And on top of that we are having a guest to our house! XD

OK, on to the 日本語！(nihongo)

Word: 石 (ishi)
Meaning: stone, rock, pebble
Example sentence: この橋は石でできています。(Kono hashi wa ishi de dekite imasu.) This bridge is made of stone.

There are two more "ishi"s in my dictionary so I'll list them also, but with no example sentences.

意志 (ishi)- means "will" (be weak willed// be firm willed// of one's own free will)

意思 (ishi)- means "intent, purpose, intention"

So! Here is a funny post from Maru-chan! ^-^

Also! DANCEROID was part of a flash mob!!! XD

So, I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and I will write again on げつようび！(getsuyoubi)

(note to self: learn the kanji for the days of the week... 0.o)

バイバイ！メッリクリスマス！！！(bye bye! Merry Christmas!)

Skip Beat Drama!

Hello everyone!!! Today is another wonderful day!
(Well, my day is almost over... and I didn't get much done today... so...)

Anyways, I'm really happy because the Skip Beat Drama aired yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!
I really like Skip Beat! I only wish that they did the drama in Japanese... but they didn't...

OK, I want to share the drama with you, my lovely readers! ^-^ So please enjoy!!!

Skip Beat Drama part 1
Skip Beat Drama part 2
Skip Beat Drama part 3

So, I'm very excited for the next episode! ^-^

(Oh, sorry for no Japanese in this post...)

Time Management

こんばんは、みんなさん！(konbanwa, minna-san!)
How is everyone today?

So, have you ever had those times when you want to get something done and then you don't do it?

That's what I'm going through right now.

I wanted to practice kanji every day because I slacked off around exams, but I've only practiced kanji a few times this week... I feel kinda bad about it.

Don't get me wrong though! I listen to and watch things in Japanese every day! (For the greater part of the day.) So I have a high intake of Japanese every day, which is a good thing. The problem is that what I wanted to do I'm not doing as much as I should.

Anyways, moving on: Random 日本語 (nihongo) time!!! ^-^

Word: むく or 向く (muku)
Meaning: face;turn toward, look toward; suit, be geared for
Example sentence: わたしの部屋は南に向いています。(Watashi no heya wa minami ni muite imasu.) My room faces south.

I feel bad for only giving one of the examples when the dictionary gives multiple... but I can only hold it open with one hand and type with the other for so long before I feel like my hand is losing feeling! ^-^;

Well, I've taken enough of your time. I guess I should go practice kanji now that I'm thinking about it... but that probably won't happen! ^-^

Does anyone else not like peanut butter but find themselves eating it rather frequently? 0.o

Well, thanks for reading! ありがとうございました！(arigatou gozaimashita)
さようなら！(sayounara)

Late again.

Just barely this time though.

Hello!!! How is everyone? Good? Good! ^-^
Oh, you're not good? ... I'm sorry.

So, I don't have anything fun today... Just some Youtube videos.

【週末☆ディナーショー】Japanese Ninja No.1 踊ってみた 
【みんなで】ぐーぐー 踊ってみた【代々木】  So cute!!! And ただのん is so funny!!! XD
Ah, here is one of the only American groups of singers that I really like. This is their first original song that they officially published! (Music doesn't start until, like 0:33 or something.)

Ah, I feel so undisciplined without school... I'll work on that this week. See you next Friday!!!

And sorry I didn't use any Japanese in this post... ^-^;

Bye!

ごめんなさい！！！(gomen nasai)

こんばんは、みんなさん！(konbanwa, minna-san!)
ごめんなさい！(gomen nasai!)
I'm sorry that I didn't post yesterday! I have no excuse! v.v

So... My school is finally over now... So I'll be practicing 日本語(nihongo) more often now! Yay!

Anyways, I don't remember what I was going to post yesterday... hopefully it will come back to me as I type! So Until I remember, here is the random 日本語(nihongo) of the day!!!

Word: たけ or 丈 (take (tah-keh))
Meaning: length, height, stature
Example Sentence: このズボンは丈が短すぎます。(Kono zubon wa take ga mijikasugimasu.) These trousers (pants, slacks) are too short.

Ah, I love my Japanese-English Dictionary! ^-^

あの。。。Please enjoy random things that I have found this week!

Dance I love: けいたん・暴徒・今岡さん】Cyber Thunder Cider サイバーサンダーサイダー 

Song and video I love: World's End Dancehall ワールズエンド・ダンスホール 【PV作ってみた】 
Oh, the song doesn't start till 1:35 or somewhere around there, but watch the beginning to understand what's going on. ^-^

Maru-chan! <3

Oh! I remember! I found an anime this week and it was very interesting! I enjoyed it! The anime is called Kaze no Stigma! Here is some more information about it. ^-^

Thanks so much for reading today!!! I'm sorry about my late posting! Please have a safe weekend!

Pomegranate

こんばんはみんなさん！！！(konbanwa minna-san!)

きょうわげつようびです！(kyou wa getsuyoubi desu)

あの。。。(ano...)

I have this thing with fruit, or くらもの(kuramono), that I kind of brought up in my post about Watermelon and Squid. Well, I love くらもの(kuramono). It's as simple as that. So, I was very happy when my mom bought me a pomegranate a bit larger than the size of a baseball! Well, I ate it tonight. All of it. (Except for the last little bit that I gave to my mom because I couldn't finish it.) So, now would be a good time to talk about food because it won't make me hungry!!!

So, about three weeks ago, one of my awesome friends made some kimchi-pork-rice cake stew type stuff. It was really good!!! It was my first time having kimchi too, but I like it!!! It was very spicy though...

Speaking of spicy: curry! I have had some interesting experiences with curry and because of these experiences, my above mentioned friend has banned me from eating curry in her presence.
But it's yummy!!!

Anyways, I'll do the random word from the dictionary with an example sentence again because I have nothing else to say today...

Word: しかる(shikaru)
Meaning: scold, reprimand, lecture
Example sentence: お母さんがいたずらした子供をしかっています。(Okaasan ga itazura shita kodomo o shikatte imasu.) The child who played the trick is being scolded by its mother.

So! Now that's done... Oh! We went to a used books store the other night and there was a Japanese book on a table that said "$1" so my mom bought it for me!!! I'm very happy!!! (Although I can't tell what any of it reads as, I can only pick out the kanji for large (大), beginning (元)... and a couple of others. Anyways.

Ah, I need to go to bed now. Thank you for reading my blog!　ありがとうございます！(arigatou gozaimasu) See you next time!!! On... きにょうび！(kinyoubi)

バイバイ！(bai bai!)

Finals and after

こんばんは！みんなさん、げんきですか？(konbanwa! minna-san, genki desu ka?)

Hello again! I finished a lot of homework at the beginning of the week!!!
... So I slacked off the past few days.... T.T

Anyways, since it's the end of the semester, I'll be having my final exams next week! I only have four, so I hope I can do well!!!

Speaking of the end of the semester, one of my friends in Japan told me that the semesters for school are from April to August and then from September to February... I wonder, if the semesters are different, how will I study abroad??? (o.o)

So, anyways, after school gets out at the end of the week, I HAVE A PLAN!
I'm really excited! XD
So, my plan is that with the free time, I can study Japanese more because I haven't had time to at all lately!!! T.T
I really wanna study Japanese!!!
Also, I'll have time to practice the piano because I really need to. And I'll be looking for a job because I really need one... But anyways. I'm very excited about the break!!!

Oh, also I want to practice German with my mom (she speaks German fluently)! I think the amount of German I know is equal to the amount of Japanese I know...

Anyways, that's all for now. ありがあとうございます！！！(arigatou gozaimasu) Thank you so much for reading!!! I hope that soon I will be able to improve and use better Japanese (and more) in these posts!!!

さようなら！(sayounara)

Oh, one more thing! Check out this amazing Japanese beatboxer!!! XD
