What am I looking forward to I haven't seen my close friend lately because we both have been busy. Almost always she takes me out, but we haven't (even?) kept in touch for a while. She and I love to go driving to enjoy beautiful scenery, eat delicious foods, and chat at a cafe. She always drives when we hang out. We both can drive and have own cars, though. Honestly, I don't like to drive much. Anyway, it's autumn. It's season when scenery is awesome, foods are awesome, and weather is good. It's a perfect time to go driving and walk around. Today, I asked her to hang out in the near future. That's what I'm looking forward to. Actually, I've been bit feeling down lately, and I suddenly found myself enjoying alone without seeing my friends. I noticed that's because I felt down. Friends are important.

Today Today was an emotionally draining day. I don't know why. Maybe because of my work. I have to be polite to our customers all day. Of course I understand the importance of politeness in customer service. But, sometimes, it's hard to be polite. Especially today, it's exhausting... I hope it will be a good day tomorrow.

Taking a nap after having a lunch I do office work in a company. Basically, I live a regular routine life, and sleep for about 6 hours almost everyday. However, I was always sleepiest around 2 in the afternoon. I might eat too much for lunch. Lately, I've been taking a nap for 15 minutes after having a lunch. I feel it's good routine for me because I'm not sleepy around 2. Today, I didn't take a nap. Then, I couldn't stop yawning in the afternoon. What a surprise!

I have to practice telling something in English. It's so difficult to say what exactly I'd like to say in English. When I'd like to tell something, I often don't know how to say or right words. I'm frustrated with it. Yes, I know, I should learn English harder. But, I'd like to ENJOY learning English. Anyway, I've started to read children's books for kind of English learning experience. And I check topics I'm interested in, on line. Also, I have to practice telling something in English. So, I use italki. BTW, today I found a new word I like. It's "amble" (I read the book "A Sick Day for Amos MacGee" today). I like ambling along with my friend. :-)

didn't / didn't used to In what way do you use "didn't" and "didn't used to" differently? For example A : I didn't like it. B : I didn't used to like it. I can't tell the difference exactly. Please tell me about that. Thank you.

Natto I eat Natto almost every night. Do you know of Natto? Have you ever eaten it? Natto is fermented soybeans. It has strong smell and stickiness, I didn't like it actually. But, It's good for our health so I eat the stinky food now. I think it tastes good. Could you please tell me some food which make our blood thinner? Thank you.

I'm feeling blue because... 明日は7:30amに会社に行って職場の掃除をしなければなりません。掃除当番なんです。当番は二カ月に一回くらいのペースで回ってきます。台風のせいで明日は大雨だし、そんな日にいつもより一時間も早く行くなんて憂鬱です。 I need to get to work at 7:30 am, and clean our workplace tomorrow. It's my turn to clean. I need to do it once in about two months. It must be pouring tomorrow because of a typhoon. I feel blue that I have to get to work one hour earlier than usual on such a day.
