ただいま！

台湾から帰った！旅行が本当に楽しいね！(^o^)

毎日おいしい食べ物を食べた、太るようになるか？( 一一)

いやだ～～

(the more i study japanese, the more i'm learning that the language is closely tied to the culture. there are certain things which the japanese will not say, and therefore, some statements in english have no equivalents.

i don't know how or when or where, but i want to learn more. one day, i will make my way there...)

絵文字です！(^o^)丿

（アｧｧ｡｡｡やった！絵文字の入れ方わかった！(^O^)／）

最近毎日JEの番組を見てる。カッコイイ男の子を見つかえたから、古いＹａ３とＳＣを探してる。　

（恥ずかしいね～～（*^_^*））

よく日本語を聞く、それはいいでしょう？

でも、男の子の話し方はちょっと習ったんけど、だめですよ。(^_^;)

ちょっと注意しなければいけませんね。。。

日本語大好き！

今日先生はいいコメンをくれた。「先に勉強しましたか？　Intermediate　1 はほとんどわかります」と言った。

（実は今勉強している文法、私もう初めて勉強するよ！）

毎日ドラマを見たり、本と雑誌を読んだりしたら、日本語がだんだん上手になった。

でも、聴解と会話がまだね。。。

(for you, so you don't have to use babelfish)

i had a great comment from my teacher today. "have you studied this before? you can understand most of intermediate 1."

(actually, the grammar we are learning now, i'm learning for the first time too!)

by watching dramas, reading books and magazines every day, my japanese is improving gradually.

but, my listening and conversation are still...

it might have been better to leave well alone

with the help of a few helpful sites, i have had the chance to catch drama after drama without much of a pause.

i watched some good ones, some bleargh ones and a couple of "what crack was i on when i wasted 3 days of my life watching this"?

my sis is a pretty good filter. she does a lot more research and had actually watched most of them herself. some shows she pans, usually due to crap acting or plot.

sometimes i watch them myself to be convinced of it. right now, i'm being scared ****less by the winner of the 57th television drama academy award best supporting male actor.

and i'm writing this down now because i'm trying to figure out if there's something wrong with me that i think he's horrifying scary and amazingly hot in his suits at the same time.

i'm stuck between wanting to slap the crap out of him and jumping on him.

how the heck did you get so good at being a psycho, ryo?

i am just too weak

if there's one thing i suffer from, it's my weakness to influences from my younger sister.

she was the one who started reading manga and watching anime. i followed.

she cosplayed. i joined in.

she studied japanese. so did i.

then she got into j-dramas, specifically those starring johnnys. i resisted for a long time, before succumbing briefly to the saccharine-sweet cavity-inducing crack known as proposal daisakusen. for most of the run, she waited for me to get home on tuesday nights so that we could both watch the subbed episodes. (it ran on japanese tv on mondays.)

we had a lot of fun swearing at the lead character. when the run ended, so did my interest in j-dramas (except for a slight continuing interest in the lead actor known as "yamapi").

she continued her obsession with the boys. the rest of the family rolled our eyes as she continued to giggle to herself every night as she got her fix. at times she would share her joy with me, where i would watch politely, laugh a little, and forget all about it.

then one day she said she was going to watch kurosagi the movie (with yamapi in the lead) and i decided to go with her and sat down with the drama box set to finish it in 2 days before going with her to watch the movie.

and continuing that with finishing nobuta wo produce in 3 days.

and somewhere along the line starting to watch all the NEWS clips in crunchyroll.

and suddenly being able to identify all of the boys in the group.

and out of the blue, giggling to myself as i watch a particularly funny clip.

and mentioning it to her to suddenly get a complete education in johnnys with her suggestions on which clips i HAD to watch.

now i have all the NEWS albums in my mp3 player, i have watched more dramas than i ever imagined i would actually be able to sit through...and i can tell most of the bands apart. a couple of times, i even got to tell her and show her some clips she missed.

...

i seriously scare myself.

i draw the line at buying any je products. may lighting strike me before i do. >.<

忘れた！

日記の書くことを忘れた！

文法は本当に難しいよ。

会話の練習が要る。

でも、だれと練習する？
