This Tuesday, I went to Shinjuku with a senior from my part-time job, and it turned out to be a very memorable and enjoyable evening. We visited my favorite izakaya, a place I often recommend to others because of its cozy atmosphere and wide variety of food and drinks. I was especially happy because my senior kindly treated me to everything, which made the experience even more special and made me feel truly appreciated. We enjoyed many different kinds of alcohol and shared several dishes, taking our time to taste each one. The food was delicious, and the drinks matched the dishes perfectly, which made the whole evening feel relaxing and satisfying. Because it was a Tuesday night, the izakaya was not very crowded, so we were able to sit comfortably and talk without noise or pressure. The calm atmosphere allowed us to enjoy not only the food but also our conversation. Spending time in Shinjuku at night felt refreshing, as the area has a unique energy that is different from daytime. Walking through the streets after dinner, I felt grateful for the chance to connect with my senior outside of work. Overall, it was a wonderful night filled with kindness, good food, and pleasant moments. I would definitely like to visit that izakaya again and create more memories there in the future.

I was chosen as the class representative for a presentation, and I feel very nervous about it. The presentation is tomorrow, so I am feeling a lot of pressure now. I did not choose this role by myself, but I have to accept it and do my best. Standing in front of many people and speaking in English is very difficult for me. I am afraid of making mistakes or forgetting what I want to say. Because the presentation is so close, I feel tired and worried. I keep thinking about it at home and before I sleep. Sometimes my heart beats fast when I imagine standing in front of the class. However, I try to think in a positive way. I am not giving the presentation alone. I will present it with my group members. They are very kind and friendly, and they always help me. We practiced together many times after school. When someone made a mistake, we helped each other and laughed together. Because of them, I feel a little more confident. Even if I make a small mistake tomorrow, I know my group members will support me. I want to do my best for my group and my class. This presentation is hard, but it is also a good chance for me to grow. I will try my best tomorrow and finish the presentation with a smile.

Last week, I went to Osaka to watch live concert. It was so special and memorial one. The concert was held in Kyosera Dome Osaka. It was a little bit far from Shin-Osaka station, but I enjoyed Osaka's famous foods before arrived there. My trip was 3 days. First, I ate takoyaki at Shinsaibashi. There was metropolis. Osaka's takoyaki is cheaper than around Tokyo's one. I was surprised about the price. Next, I enjoyed kushikatsu. It is fried foods on skewers. It was also very delicious. I ate it after concert, so I went to kushikatus restaurant with my friend. The kushikatsu was delicious, but the most delicious one was beer. I think that is a miracle cure for my tired body. Of course, concert was very very great. I enjoyed talking with fans who came to the same concert. I said, "I want to listen the most favorite song by special members.", It was came true! I was so excited I thought I was dreaming. I don't believing this fact even now. This year, I took a trip to watch concert for 3 times. Fukuoka, Nagoya, and Osaka. I want to go to some concert in next year too. I'm looking forward to next year's concert.

Could you check my text please? Is “Doing nothing” a modern sin? The last week I had a sick leave bacause of the flu I got. I had different symptoms, such as a sorethroat and nose congestion, I didn’t feel very weak though. But even though I had a legal reason not to work, I went on working from home. Surely not in a usual way, but in a more gentle mode. What I’m trying to say is I couldn’t just lie and do nothing. And I think there a few reasons why. Firstly, I have my own KPI at work, that I finally need to get. Doing nothing now means that later I’ll need to work much harder. The second reason is based on the fact that doing nothing is frowned upon in society and I felt uncomfortable doing nothing even having a sick leave. Surely if I had strong symptoms, such as high body tempreture or headache, I would easily justify my idleness. Or being in a different environment, such as in hospital, definitely wouldn’t give me that uncomfortable feeling. Of course, in the end it’s very personal thing and it’s determined by your character, but it’s hard to deny that there is a taboo of “Doing nothing” and people often feel guilty for unproductive downtime. Thank you!

Today was a busy day, and I feel a little tired now. In the morning, I went to the dentist. I do not like going there, because the sound and the smell make me nervous. The treatment was not very painful, but I felt stressed the whole time. When it was finished, I felt relieved. I was happy that I did not need to worry about it anymore. After that, I went to an eyebrow salon. It was quiet and clean inside. I lay down and closed my eyes while the staff worked. It was relaxing, and I almost fell asleep. When I looked at my face in the mirror, my eyebrows looked neat. My face looked better than before, and it made me feel more confident. In the evening, I started to feel strange. My body felt hot, and my head hurt. I checked my temperature and found that I had a fever. I was surprised because I felt fine earlier. I think my body got tired after a long day. I decided to stay home, drink water, and take some medicine. Today was not perfect, but I learned that I need to rest more and listen to my body. I hope I will feel better tomorrow.

"Ding!" I received a message from the airline that told me that my flight was cancelled due to some unknown reasons. This was an actual thing happened during my summer trip. Before the trip, I made a perfect plan for the next several days. All the schedules really depended on all the plans before it went well. After everything was ready, I got started my trip. Before my fight would take up, I received the message mentioned above. I felt really sad! I just chose a budget airline to save some money to book better hotels and have tasty food. I even accepted the fact that the airline wouldn't offer lunch , but I never expected the flight would be cancelled. In that case, the only thing I could do is to spend much more money to book another airline which could take off on time. Fortunately, the rest of the trip made me fell really relaxed until the night befor returning. When I woke up to drink some water, I checked a notification on my phone that said my train was cancelled. Oh, I didn't care at that moment. I spent more money booking a flight, then fell asleep again. Though it's a great trip, I exceeded the budget a lot !

I went to see a movie with my friend. It was a movie I had been looking forward to for a long time, so I was very excited. When I arrived at the meeting place, my friend came soon after, and we went to the movie theater together. When we entered the theater, there were many posters, and just looking at them was fun. After buying the tickets, we chose popcorn and drinks. I had a little trouble deciding which one to get, but that was also an enjoyable time. We sat in our seats and talked quietly while waiting for the movie to start. When the movie began, I was surprised by the big screen and the powerful sound. The story was very interesting, and there were many scenes that made me laugh, feel nervous, and even a little moved. Watching the movie with my friend made it even more enjoyable. Time passed so quickly that I felt a little sad when it ended. After the movie, we walked outside while talking about our favorite scenes. We said things like, “That scene was the best,” and “That character was so cool,” and we had a great time talking. After that, we went to a restaurant and ate together while talking about school and recent events. We laughed a lot and lost track of time. On the way home, I walked while thinking about the day. I felt that the time I spent with my friend was truly fun and important to me. I was a little tired, but my heart felt warm. I want to go see a movie with my friend again soon.

Helleveryone! Recently, I watched a Korean drama called Our Beloved Summer. At first, I thought it was just a simple love story, but as I watched, I realized it was a much deeper work. This drama carefully portrays emotions people usually hide, like regret, pride, and the fear of getting hurt again. The story centers on two people who once loved each other deeply but broke up in the past. Years later, they reunite, and their unresolved feelings gradually resurface. What I particularly loved about this drama was how realistically the characters were portrayed. They weren't perfect, and there were many moments where they struggled to express their true feelings. Seeing this made the story feel very relatable. What stayed with me most was the scene where the characters finally have an honest conversation about past misunderstandings. This scene reminded me how crucial communication is in any relationship. Sometimes people choose silence to protect themselves, but that silence can sometimes cause even greater pain. Through this drama, I learned that "growing up" doesn't always mean becoming emotionally stronger. Rather, I think it means accepting your own weaknesses and facing your true feelings. After watching That Year, We..., I felt more inclined to be honest with myself and those around me. It also made me reflect on how past relationships have shaped who I am today.

The day before yesterday, I went out for drinks with friends my age from my part-time job. Even though we are the same age, there were some people I was meeting outside of work for the first time, so I was able to talk a lot with them and had a really great time. I would like to keep working together with everyone, but since some of them are going to quit, it feels a bit sad and difficult. Still, I hope we can stay close friends. Yesterday, I went to an exhibition of costumes worn by my favorite idol. They were much more voluminous than they look on TV, and I was truly impressed by how detailed and carefully made they were. There were also some goods for sale, so I ended up buying some. Lately, I’ve been shopping a lot, so I’m pretty short on money. And today, I’m going to celebrate the birthday of a friend I’ve known for ten years! I’m really looking forward to it, and it feels very meaningful. I hope the surprise goes well! The year is almost coming to an end, but I want to stay healthy and enjoy it until the very last moment. I’m also looking forward to next year! Thank you for reading.
