Are You 'Happy-Go-Lucky?'
Is there someone in your life who is always happy? Or maybe someone who brings you a lot of joy? If so, here are some expressions you can use to describe them.

For example, some people call their baby a "bundle of joy." The expression probably comes from the practice of putting babies in blankets, which makes them look like a bundle.

So not long after you were born, your mother could have said to a friend, "Would you like to meet my little bundle of joy?"

A person who doesn't worry about things going wrong and lives their life in a relaxed and happy way can be described as "happy-go-lucky." The expression was first used in print in 1672, but back then it meant "whatever is going to happen will happen."

So if you were worried about your first day of school, your mother might have told you, "Just be your usual happy-go-lucky self, and you'll make lots of friends."

If someone is very happy, you can say they are "as happy as Larry," an expression that comes from either Australia or New Zealand. Some say it refers to Larry Foley, an Australian boxer from the late 19th century who never lost a fight. Others say it refers to the word "larrie" which meant "joke," or to "larrikins," — young men that caused trouble in Australian and New Zealand cities.

So if you came home from school smiling because you had a good time, your mother could have said, "You look as happy as Larry!"

Are You 'Happy-Go-Lucky?'

"Not all heroes wear capes."

This is a phrase that's often used online to talk about normal people who do amazing things.

They don't need a cape — like Superman — to do something amazing.

But here's a hero who not only didn't wear a cape — he didn't have a name either.

Or at least, he kept his name a secret.

This is the story of a Filipino man in Japan who saved a young boy from the sea in Fukuoka city.

A 6-year-old boy was at Hakozaki pier with his family when he fell about 2 meters down into the water below. His family didn't notice at first that he had fallen, but the Filipino man did.

He was fishing nearby, and jumped into the sea to keep the boy safe while they waited to be helped out of the water.

The 6-year-old was not wearing a life jacket, and the coast guard said if the man had not jumped in, the boy could have been in trouble.

The Filipino man, who is 26 and lives in Fukuoka, gave his details to the coast guard afterward. But when the family asked for his name and his contact information, he declined and went home.

Some reports said he replied that he was not worth identifying.

SoraNews24 said the man replied in Japanese: "I'm not important enough for people to need to be concerned about my name."

The website said this is a phrase that is more likely to be used in action movies or manga, perhaps by a hero who has just saved the day.

The Filipino man was not hurt, while the boy was taken to hospital.

Man Saves Boy from Sea, Keeps Name Secret

Young people in South Korea are turning their backs on marriage, according to a government report.

A survey by Statistics Korea of Koreans aged between 19 and 34 found that just 36% have a positive opinion of marriage.

That's down from 56% in 2012.

The report found that many young Koreans feel they do not have enough money for marriage at a time when the cost of living is high.

Others said they don't think that marriage is necessary.

The report also found that only 28% of the women surveyed have a positive opinion of marriage.

This may be because women are choosing to put their jobs first — before marrying and starting a family.

Earlier in the year, Statistics Korea said that the number of marriages in the country in 2022 was the lowest ever recorded.

There were 192,000 marriages in 2022. The number of marriages recorded has now decreased in each of the last 11 years.

The government is worried, and has spent years trying to encourage young people to marry and have children, since the country's birth rate is also falling.

But more Koreans are happy to stay single. There is even a word for people who choose not to marry: bihon.

And instead of encouraging Koreans to marry, some people are asking the government to do more for single people who have chosen to live on their own.
