Where or which??? . . . . . . This is the place ........ I hid the key.

Due to the fact that I like different details and it sometimes depends on my current mood, I do not have one favorite movie of all times. But when I read this question, I immediately remembered "The Colour of a Pomegranate" by Armenian director Sergei Parajanov. A plot of it does not matter to me, but, if you are interested, it's a story about Medieval Armenian poet's life. The movie has amazing and very beautiful frames with local nature, architectures, costumes and atmosphere in general. I put some screenshots of it for showing.

Today I made cheese powder chips for the first time. I had even never thought about making it because I thought it would be difficult and I would fail wasting time. My daugher insisted me to make it for her and I just tried. It was super crunchy to my surprise and it meant I was sucessful. I thought it would too soft and too oily at first but it was not. So you will never know if you don't try.

People today feel their lives are increasingly dominated by thier jobs. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? In today's fast-paced, ever-changing society, people find their jobs eating up their time more and more. I generally agree with the presented statement because today's economy never stop expanding or creating more work to be done although awareness of work-life balance has been encouraging change in stressful work environment. First, the amoung of work overall is increasing. Statistics say the global GDP has increased tenfold over the last 50 years, reaching $140 trillion. This enormous value generated means the advent of a vast amount work around. Today's complicated products and services require countless work to be done, innevitably forcing people to work long hours. In addition, more parts of life that used to be outside economic principles give way to business transactions, for example, babysitting and nurising care. This trend also increases the total work load in society. Second, specialization in modern workplace plays important role in people's perception of their time dominated by work. Separated duties prevent employees from having the whole picture, ending up in less morale for work. The feeling of being forced disengages people from work, and fuels antipathy to working. As a result, people feel their time is more dominated by their jobs. On the other hand, there is a silver lining. More and more companies have valued work-life balance, focusing on employees' well-being. Countries, including Japan, have already introduced rules that require corporations to make sure employees use their paid leave sufficiently and avoid working too long. These efforts will help reverse the trend and recover people's leisure time. In conclusion, although several counter measures are beginning to be taken, the nature of economic growth and formented employee disengagement are highly likely to lead to the feeling of no life outside work.

It’s sunny today. After a quick lunch, I headed to the pool. I was happy to find that my swimming skills hadn’t completely vanished. However, it’s clear that my muscles are weak. I need to do more physical training. My couch lent me her gym card, so I can start lifting weights tomorrow. I’m looking forward to building some strength!

I took the afternoon off, so I thought I would go shopping. But I decided to stay home and have a lazy day. I can't stand the heat in Japan. It's extremely hot to spend time outside. It's getting hotter and hotter these days. I feel sorry for children who can't play outside due to this heat. I feel nostalgic about the days when I used to play until dark.

Speaking of summer weather, different areas have different situations, which also reminds me of a joke about the Paris olympic . When the athletes arrived in Paris, we saw there were no airconditions in their rooms on TV. We were very suprised about that until we checked the weather of Paris and found the temperature there is not high, even a little bit low. Summer is definitely one of the best seasons in a year, which always features green trees and grass, summer vacation, and a variety of tasty icecreams, but also the hot weather in many areas. We fight against the heat throughout the whole summer, because we don't want to stay at home only with aN AC. walking under a big sun with a wet T-shirt doesn't feel comfortable. We check the forecast every few minutes and hope that there will be a rain next hour, but the forecast says that the temperture will rise up to around 40 ℃ tomorrow. In that case, we still plan where we will visit for fun tomorrow. This is summer, which is full of fun and suffering!
