Yesterday I found out that I had influenza. It was a little surprising because one week ago I already went to the hospital when I first felt sick. At that time, I had a sore throat and a runny nose. I was worried that it might be COVID-19 or influenza, so I decided to see a doctor. The doctor checked me carefully and told me that it was neither COVID nor influenza. I felt very relieved, and I started to take the medicine that was given to me. Thanks to the medicine, I slowly began to feel better. My throat pain became weaker, and my nose was not so bad anymore. However, a few days later, something strange happened. I started to cough in a way that was different from my usual cough. My body also felt heavy, and I became very tired. I thought maybe it was just a small cold, but the feeling was stronger than before. I could not concentrate on my schoolwork, and even walking around the house made me feel exhausted. Because of this, I decided to go back to the hospital again. This time the doctor told me that I really had influenza. I was a little shocked, but at least I finally knew the truth. The doctor advised me to rest well and drink enough water. Now I am staying at home, trying to recover slowly. I hope that with enough sleep and care, I will feel healthy again soon.

This morning I woke up very late, and it was really a big mistake. Yesterday I stayed up too late at night, and I could not sleep well. Because of that, when I opened my eyes today, it was already 11:30 a.m. I was very shocked, because I had a lecture in the morning, but I missed it completely. I felt that I really made a serious error. I had studied for the test carefully, but since I did not attend the lecture, I could not take the test. That made me feel very disappointed and frustrated. The reason I stayed up late was because I kept playing games for a long time. I did not stop, and I continued until very late. It has been a long time since I did something like that, so I lost control of my schedule. At first, it was fun, but later I realized it was not good for me. My body felt very tired, and my mind also felt heavy. I could not focus, and I regretted my choice. Now I understand that I need to change my habit. I should not play games too long, especially when I have important things the next day. Today I feel very exhausted, so I decided that I must go to bed earlier tonight. If I sleep well, tomorrow will be better, and I can start fresh again!•

This week, I have a two big event for me. First, I exchanged my smartphone. The before one was using about 4.5 years. So battery's condition was very bad. The new one is very nice. Battery is so long, and screen size is wider than before one. I said, "I want to exchange my smartphone!" since this year's spring. At last, I changed it. Recently, smartphone and other machines are too expensive to change easily. So I changed old smartphone's battery at 2 times. But battery was doing worse quickly. Second, this weekend, I will go to my favorite game event in Chiba. My favorite game's name is "THE IDOLM@STER" series. This game's event will be held in weekend. It will be held in Makuhari Messe. Makuhari messe is located in Chiba pref. Near the this facility, you can see a big Tokyo Bay. But there is very windy because near the ocean. So you should wear windbreak outer if you go to there for some events. This week is too busy to me. Additionally, I had part time job for three consecutive days. It was very hard. But I think that this weekend's event is reward for me. I will enjoy that event.

This is a great question that can be better answered by an adult., because an adult experience both being a child and an adult. As for me, I really wanted to grow up quickly when I was a kid, then I could control my life by myself without naggings from parents. Freedom just liked a seed that sowed in my heart. After I grew up and left home, I always felt lonely because I needed to face all the challenges and hardships without any help from parents. At that moments, I really wanted to be the child that was well taken care of by my parents. All the naggings were full of love from them. The only thing I should do was to eat and play well. This reminds me of a great Chinese saying that goes : nothing is perfect.Imperfection is ferfect. We need to think about what we have present.

This week was really exhausting for me. I had a course exercise presentation coming up, so I was nervous from the beginning of the week. I wanted to prepare as much as possible, but I didn’t have enough time or energy because I had to work five days in a row. Working five consecutive days was harder than I expected. Each shift felt longer and heavier than usual. By the last day, I felt completely worn out. Every morning I woke up tired and every night I went to bed with a headache. I could feel my body asking for rest, but I just had to keep going. The presentation finally took place, and I think I did okay. I did my best with the energy I had, but I still felt a bit frustrated because I knew I could have performed better if I hadn’t been so tired. Still, I felt relieved when it was over, like a heavy weight was lifted from my shoulders. This week, I also had a small fight with my girlfriend. It wasn’t a big issue, but because I was stressed and tired, I reacted too strongly. She was also emotional, so we misunderstood each other. Later, we talked calmly and apologized, and everything is fine now. I’m really grateful for her. I hope next week will be more peaceful, and I want to rest and take care of myself.

This week was really tough for me. I had a course exercise presentation, so I was already a little nervous. On top of that, I had to work five days in a row. After the fifth day, I felt completely exhausted. Every morning I woke up tired, and every night I couldn’t relax properly because I kept thinking about the presentation. I wanted to prepare more, but my body and mind just wouldn’t keep up. The presentation finally happened. I think I did okay, but I wasn’t satisfied because I knew I could have done better if I had more energy. Still, I felt relieved when it ended. Also, my girlfriend and I had a small fight this week. It wasn’t a big one, but because I was tired, it felt worse than usual. We both said things we didn’t really mean. Later, we talked and apologized, so everything is fine now. I’m glad we made up. I hope next week will be more peaceful. I want to rest and reset my mind.

Hello everyone! Next February, I’m planning to visit Korea with my friends, and I’m already getting excited about the trip. This will be my fifth time traveling to Korea, but every visit still gives me new memories and a fresh perspective. Because I’ve been there several times, I feel more comfortable with transportation, ordering food, and understanding the atmosphere of the city. Still, traveling with friends makes everything feel new again. We’re planning to stay in Seoul, since there are still many places we haven’t explored. I want to visit some cafés that recently went viral online and try winter-only menus. I’m also looking forward to enjoying street foods like hotteok, tteokbokki, and fish cake soup, which taste even better in the cold season. This time, I especially hope to make use of the Korean I’ve been studying for the Hangul Ability Test. I recently started reviewing vocabulary and grammar again, so I want to try reading signs, ordering in Korean, and having simple conversations with shop staff. It would be great if I could feel the progress of my studying while traveling. I think using the language in real situations will motivate me even more. Since it’s been a while since our last trip together, we want to take our time shopping, wandering through different neighborhoods, and taking lots of photos. Even though it’s my fifth visit, Korea always offers something new. I hope this upcoming journey will be another unforgettable experience, and I can’t wait for February to arrive.

I recently took a trip with my friend to Osaka to see Ado’s live concert, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. We traveled by shinkansen, and although it was convenient and fast, I was honestly shocked by how expensive the tickets were. Still, the excitement of the upcoming concert kept our spirits high. When we arrived in Osaka, the first thing we wanted to do was buy some Ado merchandise, but to our disappointment, almost everything was already sold out. It was a little heartbreaking, since we had been looking forward to getting souvenirs, but we didn’t let it ruin our day. The concert itself was absolutely incredible. Ado’s voice, the atmosphere of the venue, and the energy of the crowd created an amazing experience that made the whole trip worthwhile. The following day, we took a short trip to Kyoto and visited Uji. There were many tourists, but the autumn leaves were so beautiful that it didn’t bother us at all. The scenery felt peaceful and almost magical. Most of all, I was moved by how delicious the matcha was. Drinking authentic Uji matcha in such a scenic place felt special, and it became one of the highlights of the trip. Overall, it was a wonderful journey filled with great memories, beautiful sights, and unforgettable moments.

Last week, after finishing my part-time job, I went to see a movie with my friend. I had wanted to watch this movie for a very long time, so I was really happy that I finally had the chance to see it. The pictures and the music were very beautiful, and I felt that it was really worth watching.Before this, I didn’t really like going to the movie theater. I always thought that I didn’t have to pay money to watch a movie in the theater because, someday, it would be available on TV or on a streaming app. So usually, I waited until I could watch it at home. However, this time, I wanted to see the movie as soon as possible. I couldn’t wait, so I decided to pay and go to the theater.After watching it, I realized that it was definitely worth the money. Watching a movie in the theater felt very special. The big screen and powerful sound made the story feel more exciting and emotional. Because of this experience, I also noticed the good points of going to the movie theater. It turned out to be a really great day for me.Now, I think I might go to the theater again when another interesting movie comes out. This experience changed my mind, and I feel more positive about watching movies in theaters.

Hello. This week has finally started to feel normal again because I recovered from the health problems I had been dealing with for a while. I had been feeling weak and tired for several days, so being able to return to my usual routine feels surprisingly refreshing. Getting better also made me realize how important it is to take care of my body, even when I am busy with classes, part-time jobs, or other responsibilities. Since recovering, something interesting has happened: my appetite has suddenly become much stronger. No matter how much I eat, I find myself getting hungry again very quickly. It is a little strange, but in a way, it also feels like a sign that my body is fully back to normal. Yesterday, I went out to eat Taiwanese food with a friend. I expected the flavors to be similar to Chinese food, but the taste turned out to be quite different from what I imagined. The seasoning had a unique balance—milder in some dishes and richer in others—which made the whole experience surprisingly refreshing. I enjoyed every dish we ordered, and the warm atmosphere of the restaurant made the meal even better. Because of this, I would love to go back again sometime soon and try more Taiwanese dishes.
