Banana Protein I've read an article that a protein in bananas, called Banlec may help kill viruses. Banlec could be helpful because it may be able to cure viral infections, such as HIV/AIDS or Influenza. It also might be ablt to reduce the numbers of AIDS deaths and orphans. But it's not so simple. You can't benefit from the protein if we just eat bananas. According to the article, you need the new and improved version of it. It seems to take a very long time to improve its effect.

Natural disaster Japan is one of the countries most affected by natural disasters. Typhoons and earthquakes cause a lot of damage to our land. For a natural disaster, you should stock your emergency supplies, such as water, food, medicines, hygiene items, or first-aid equipment. And it is also important to have an evacuation plan. You need to check about transportation, make arangements with family members or friends. In the event of a natural disaster, you have to pay attention to information from the government, weather services and news agencies via TV or the Internet.

The earth and the galaxy There is a possibility that the earth would die out in the future. So I think we need to continue exploring the galaxy and find out more information about it. We might be able to move to other planets which humans can live in if we find them. We all live in the universe, so we can't be unconcerned about where we live. No one can guarantee that the universe or the earth would last forever. So I think we'd better be careful about the condition of them and get more information.

Walking my dog I walked my dog today. We walked along a lane through paddy fields. Crickets were chirping as we passed the fields. It was difficult to keep step with my dog since she strained at her leash the whole way. I wonder if she thinks she's the head of my family. I'd better train her well. I like my dog and cats so much; I want to become great friends with them.

Today's diary The weather was nice today, but it was pretty cold in the morning and at night. I heard that the new largest book store in Hokuriku area opend up a while ago. I went to that store right now. I found a lot of things that I wanted, so I spent lots of time shopping. At afternoon, I took an online English lesson after a long time. I was frustrated because I couldn't express my thoughts well. However, I believe speaking English every day is the best way to improve my English skill. I'll try to study harder than I did before!
