Today was my friend’s birthday, so we celebrated at karaoke at midnight. We bought donuts and mini cupcakes at MUJI and decorated them. It was very cute and fun. After that, I slept for about one and a half hours. We left the karaoke at 5:00 a.m. Now, we walked for 50 minutes and came to a family restaurant. After that, we will go to Shibuya to see Aimyon. I am very excited and I hope I have a great day.

Hi! I'm retired and a native Mandarin Chinese speaker. I'm currently learning English and looking for a language exchange partner. I'm also happy to talk about whatever interests you, whether it's language, literature, history, music, or everyday life. Please send me a DM if you're interested. I'd love to hear from you!

After my part-time job, I went to karaoke. At karaoke, I sang songs by various artists I like, such as Vaundy, King Gnu, and Kaze Fujii. Singing is hard, but it was a lot of fun and really refreshed me. Vaundy has a concert in September, and that’s what I’m looking forward to the most right now. Tomorrow, I’m going to study for my psychology test, which is on Saturday.

Yesterday, I came home after work and went to bed right away. I was planning to wake up at around 8 a.m. today, but I kept sleeping and woke up at around 6 p.m. After that, I ordered Sukiya on Uber Eats. I ordered a cheese beef bowl and a cheesecake-flavored drink. The drink was supposed to have a cookie-like topping, but it was missing. So, I could not drink the drink I really wanted. I wanted to go shopping, but I did not have enough energy. So, I stayed home and watched YouTube. My room was also messy, and I wanted to clean it, but I did not have the energy to do that either. I ate snacks while watching YouTube and played eFootball. I won many games, so it was fun. Tomorrow, I have work from 2 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. I want to wake up earlier and do my homework and clean my room before work. One of my senior coworkers could not take a test. If he cannot take a make-up test, he may have to repeat the school year. So, I tried to help him take the test. I also started coughing because I slept with the air conditioner on. I often got colds for the same reason last year, so I think I should buy a humidifier to avoid getting sick. I will go back to my parents’ house on August 7th. Until then, I decided to work every day, so I submitted my work schedule. Honestly, working six days in a row will be very hard, but I want to do my best because I can eat delicious food and relax when I go home. Recently, I have been using Uber Eats too much, and my money is disappearing quickly. So, I want to try to cook for myself more often. It has also become very hot since about a week ago, and I get very tired because of the heat. I want to drink water often and be careful not to get heatstroke. I really want the weather to become cooler soon!

Today, after English classes at the university, I attended a biology class. Since I have a biology test next Wednesday, I paid closer attention than usual. After that, I went to my part-time job. It was really busy today because there weren’t many crews. Since I also have a psychology test on Saturday,

A friend asked me to teach her poetry. I know that she is not interested in poetry that much. She just want to find some topics with me. Because I like poetry very much. My works were published on our local newspaper when I was a teenager. I have been too lonely., so reading poetry is the best way to combat loneliness instead of spending money. we also read the Bible together. It's the first time that I teach poetry, and it's hard to choose. Last week I decided to choose Jiang Kui's "Secret Fragrance". "Secret Fragrance" and "Dappled Shadows" are among the most quoted and admired works by Jiang Kui. Of the two poems, "Secret fragrance" is written in a comparatively lucid style, and it had an English translation and Pinyin available. When I taught it, I found it was more difficult than I had thought. For example, when we read “何遜而今漸老” (He Xun is now aging), I said, "Jiang Kui sees himself as an aging He Xun". She asked, "How do you know that?" And i decided to introduce Zhou Bangyan's "Prince Lanling" this week. A famous example in his description of willows and the parting of friends in the lyrics to the tune of "Prince Lanling." But more questions were raised. The more i read poems, the more i understand "the reason I continue giving lectures is that I hope to leave something behind for those who enjoy Chinese poetry, something that might help them get a start in learning it" by Professor Florence Chia-ying Yeh who passed away in Tianjin.

Abnormally high temperatures, frequent wildfires and floods… Extreme weather events keep growing as global warming gets worse. Even disasters that were once described as “once-in-a-century” are happening more often. Climate change is no longer a distant warning. It is something we can feel in our daily lives. Small efforts from every person add up. Saving electricity, cutting waste, choosing low-carbon travel. Every little choice matters for our planet’s future.

Today I will do my homework all day. But I will start at 1:00 p.m. Before I study, I will go to get a lash lift. Because there is a fireworks festival on Saturday, I want to be cute. Maybe I will meet my friend late at night and go to karaoke. It is my friend’s 20th birthday. I am very excited and I hope we have a great time.
