Keep Learning Languages

I've been interested in watching TV shows or animes in different language when I was a teenager.
By now, that hobby motivates me to keep practicing different languages.
Every so often, I play games, listen to voice woks, such like ASMR and all like that to practice the language that I'm learning.
Nowadays, I find that there are many ways to keep practicing a language, and it also can be a change of pace from only reading a textbook.

The Skills I want to learn

Nowadays, I think it's very important to develop new skills that are going to be useful in the future. That's why I want to implement a new schedule and new activites and take advantage of all the time I have during the vacations.

The first one is improving my English. I think it's been and it's gonna always be one of the most important skills existing. Indeed, being able to speak fluently and understand easily podcasts and videos enables you to get access to a way broader basis of contents. Moreover I think it's very helpful for your brain cause it forces it to create connections and it represents a huge amount of learned words that creates connections and trigger really good health effects. One of them for instance is the ability to get a better memorisation.
However, that's not the only one reason why I want to improve my English. I think it must be a magical feeling to be bilingual and my dream is to understand naturally my favourite songs that are almost all in English. That motivation is my fuel to push through even when it's difficult.

The second skill I really want to develop is a better understanding and use of AI. The problem here is that I really start from scratch so it's gonna take a while before I really fell the progress.
Basically what I want to do is watching videos about the history of AI, the news and the optimisation of using it (for instance using the good prompts and choosing the best AI for each task I'm doing). This is probably going to be one of the most useful skills so I want to leverage this powerful tool to take advance on other people who just use it to cheat during the exams and to think for themselves.
I think I'm going to try every tips and methods I hear so it becomes very familiar.

Finally, I want to improve my guitar skills. I don't think the benefits of that activity are tangible but they are deffinitely very important. I think it helps you creating connections between your body (with finger and your brain that's powerful. In addition it forces you to be disciplinate if you want to progress and it also improves your patience.

To conclude, I think the more skills you get, the best your value is going to be in the future so the most easily it's going to be to adapt yourself to the new world AI is creating.

Tell me what you thought of my English and feel free to give me some advice!

Protect Your Peace

When I was young, I changed jobs a lot.
I worked as a plumber, and a crane operator.
At the beginning of 2026, I became unemployed.
It has been a watershed year for me.
Of course, I still needed food to survive, but I did not want to buy it from a supermarket.
I wanted to grow my own food. I planted corns in the soil near my house.
Growing food is brutally hard work under the hot sun.
My food cost almost nothing.
Because I lived deep in the woods, people from the town often asked me, "do you feel terribly lonely?"
I spent many days and nights completely alone.
Being alone was my absolute best friend.
When I was alone in the woods at midnight, I never felt empty.
I felt the entire beautiful universe was sitting right there with me.
The moon and the stars were my company.
Some mornings I did not do anything except pray to God.
I just sat in a bench from the early dawn until noon.
I did nothing that society would call "productive".
I felt the warm sun on my face. I think time is life instead of money.
When you sell your time, you sell your life.
You sell your life, and you can never buy it back.
No matter how rich you become, you can never buy those lost hours back.
I was not wasting time, I was resting my soul.
I was producing peace in my own heart, and peace in your heart is much more valuable than any gold coin.
I realized a beautiful truth. Time is not a monster chasing you.
Time is just a quiet stream, and I was sitting by the water, fishing.
I was not fishing for fish. I was fishing for the truth of my own life.
We are always trapped in the future, worrying about next month's bills.
We are always trapped in the past, feeling sad about old mistakes.
Because our minds always travel to tomorrow or yesterday, we completely forget to live today.
The present moment, you are breathing right now is the only thing we actually possess.
But living in the present moment did not mean I did nothing all day.
I go into mountains and spend time outdoor.
I am a big hiker, and go into mountains on weekends.
When you simplify your days, you will finally have time to breathe.

日本の夏の蒸し暑いの天気

なぜ日本の夏はずいぶん蒸し暑くて、僕の学校はエアコンを使わないですか。今はとても暑いから、自分の体は動けないと感じる。脳みそも考えられない。今も5時間目で月曜日に5時間目に授業がないから、この話を書いているですけど、書いていながら考えられない。多分、生徒たちも授業や勉強に集中出来ないと思います。本当に、この天気の中に誰か何か仕事が出来る方がわからないです。よく日本人に「死にたい」と聞くから、この意味わからんけど。意味はこの感じですか。先週末に全部準備終わったから喜ぶ。なぜなら、もし準備終わらなったら、本当に今出来ないです。でも、6時間目に職員会があるから、頑張ります。そして、会議はみんな日本語しか話さないから、楽しみじゃないです。

Pudong Development Exhibition Hall

On a typical weekend afternoon, I walked by Pudong Avenue when a sudden rain forced me to abandon my original plans. Pulling up the map on my phone, I discovered that the Pudong Development Exhibition Hall was just a short walk away.

Though it's merely a modest two-story building, the exhibition left a profound impression on me—one that I will need weeks to digest fully.

Inside, I found relics from the early days of Pudong's development: desks, chairs, filing cabinets, telephones, and even ordinary water bottles and teacups. These humble items were similar to those I had seen with my own young eyes back in my hometown. Yet today, Pudong has far surpassed my hometown.

That rainy afternoon visit sparked a lingering question in my mind: What is the most crucial factor for a place to thrive?

Is it money? Certainly, funding is vital, but countless examples show that capital can easily be wasted. Is it a grand program or blueprint? Undoubtedly, planning is essential.

But perhaps, through my limited perspective, the true catalyst lies in the collective mindset, unwavering belief, and decisive action.

When I was a child, too young to be excluded from adult conversations, I often overheard complaints from my uncles, who were local officials. (A word of advice: never assume children don't understand; they absorb and remember far more than you realize.) The challenges they complained about were the same ones Pudong faced back then.

Walking through the exhibition hall, you can clearly trace that very spirit of mindset, belief, and action. Had my hometown possessed the same driving force, it would undoubtedly be in a much better state today.

On a personal level, this visit taught me a valuable lesson: whenever the urge to complain arises, pause to learn, make a plan, and take immediate action. Seize the moment. After all, every present moment holds the potential to be the dawn of a historic change.

Japan’s KFC: A Completely Different Chicken

Last Christmas, a British media outlet posted an article saying that “Japanese people celebrate Christmas by eating KFC fried chicken,”
which went viral. The tone felt somewhat mocking toward Japanese people, and it is wrong to say that KFC represents the Japanese way of celebrating Christmas. It is simply one of the dishes some families enjoy.
Furthermore, what I recently learned is that KFC Japan’s chicken is completely different from KFC US and UK. In Japan, chickens are raised on herb‑based feed in a freer environment, resulting in firmer, more aromatic meat that is not watery. In contrast, the U.S. and UK uses broiler chickens raised in a short period, which often leads to watery and oily meat from stressed birds. Oil management is also much stricter in Japan, while in the U.S. the quality and temperature control of frying oil vary greatly by store, often making the chicken greasier.
KFC Japan’s founder said in his biography that the U.S. headquarters once pushed Japan to adopt an efficiency‑first, profit‑maximization approach. However, he firmly refused and protected Japan's quality standards. Knowing this background, it makes perfect sense that KFC Japan can be considered a proper Christmas dish. Now I feel like going to the nearby KFC for the first time in months.

オノマトペ

英語には、日本語のオノマトペに当たる言葉はない気がしています。
オノマトペを使わないというわけではないですが、日本語と違って、英語であまり聞きません。
「歯がシクシク」とか「星がキラキラ」なような文というのは、「I have a tooth ache」と「That star is twinkling」。
「Ache」と「twinkling」はオノマトペではありませんが、形容詞だけです。
アメリカの漫画家はオノマトペの代わりに、波線やジグザグな線などをよく使います。
日本語のオノマトペの方が楽しくて、面白いだと思います。

Nostro padre

Ieri sera ho telefonato a mio fratello dopo tanto tempo. Mi ha detto che oggi nostro padre subirà un intervento agli occhi e che avrebbe parlato con il medico per ricevere una spiegazione.
Sono rimasto sorpreso. Mi ha detto che mi avrebbe richiamato dopo aver parlato con il medico.

The Story of Adam and Eve

I've been reading the Bible since my childhood, and I want to read the whole Bible, but I don't finish it often.
I've read Genesis ten thousand times.
God made Adam and Eve, letting them live in Eden with one rule:never eat the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge.
Tricked by a serpent, they ate the forbidden fruit.
They saw good and evil, felt ashamed, and were finally driven out of the garden by God.
From that moment on, all their descendants would live a life of hard labor, marked by the separation from the innocent, unburdened life in Eden.

Vasárnap

Mai témámként szeretném összehasonlítani a szabadúszó és a főállású alkalmazotti munkát. Jelenleg alkalmazottként dolgozom, de korábban szabadúszóként tevékenykedtem. Egyértelműen a főállás felé hajlok, még akkor is, ha van néhány hátránya. Például a dolgok lassabban változnak, ha az ember alkalmazottként dolgozik. A hosszú tanítási órák mellett nehéz átállni az új tankönyvekre. Emiatt sajnos gyakran régi könyveket használunk.
Ráadásul többet is kell dolgozni.
Szabadúszóként viszont az összes biztosítási járulékot magunknak kell fizetni, ami sok konfliktussal járhat. Ha az ember egyszer is elmulasztja a bejelentési határidőt, komoly büntetésekre számíthat. Ezenkívül a munkáltatónak még a felmondással sem kell bajlódnia, ha már nincs rád szüksége. Bár a főállás sem fenékig tejfel, több előnye van, mint hátránya.

El título real está abajo porque es demasiado largo.

Las últimas noticias sobre mi progreso en estudiar la teoría de la música.
Hace un poco tiempo, publiqué que emepecé a estuidar la teoría de música. Estaba estudiando por el libro "コード理論大全". Hasta ahora, terminé la primera parte, ¡así que estoy aproximadamente a 1/12 de mi libro! Para no olvidarme de lo que he aprendido, estaba creando tarjetas.
La primera parte trata de los fundamentos, como los intervalos, el círculo de quintas, tríadas, y acordes de séptima. La parte dos trata de armonía para los claves principales, así que estoy emocionada. Comparado con mis intentos anteriores en aprender la teoría de música, he aprendido más que la vez anterior, así que estoy feliz.

无人机表演

OLC发布了无人机表演将从七月一日到九月十四日在东京迪士尼乐园举办。
这是特别增加的演出,用来纪念在Cinderella城上进行的投影映射表演的闭幕。

Fantasy Springs开业的前一天,无观众的无人机表演在东京迪士尼海洋举办,而且通过电视和YouTube转播。
不过,这个有观众的无人机表演在东京迪士尼度假区是第一次尝试。

无人机表演在海外迪士尼园区已经普及。
不过,由于日本航空法严格,长期以来被认为难以在园区实施无人机表演。

因此,无人机表演让粉丝既开心又惊讶。
另一方面,也给游客带来了一些不便。
从无人机表演开始前二十五分钟起,禁止游客进入Cinderella城背后的Fantasyland区域。
幸运的是,《小熊维尼的蜂蜜之旅》作为Fantasyland里最受欢迎的项目之一,不在限制范围内,可以照常游玩。
然而,一些项目的提前关闭会影响其他区域的人流。

因为我在实施期间不会去东京迪士尼乐园,所以无法亲眼看到那里的情况。
我希望不会发生严重的问题。

A Drone Show

OLC announced that a drone show will be held at Tokyo Disneyland from July 1 to September 14. It is a special additional performance which celebrates the grand finale of "Reach for Stars", a projection mapping show projected onto Cinderella Castle.

The day before Fantasy Springs opened, a drone show was held without an audience at Tokyo DisneySea, and it was relayed on TV and YouTube. However, a drone show with an audience is the first attempt at Tokyo Disney Resort.

At overseas Disney parks, drone shows have already been introduced as entertainment. However, because of strict aviation laws in Japan, it is rumored that it is almost impossible to introduce drones at Tokyo Disney Resort.

So, a drone show is a big surprise for Disney fans, and at the same time, it is also an inconvenience. Guests are not allowed to enter most of Fantasyland, which is behind Cinderella Castle, 25 minutes before the show. Fortunately, the most popular attraction in Fantasyland, "Pooh's Hunny Hunt", is outside the restricted area and remains available. Earlier closure of several attractions affects crowds in other areas.

I don't have any plans to visit Tokyo Disneyland during this time, so I can't directly see the situation there. I hope no serious trouble happens.

Aprendiendo ajedrez y perdiendo la cordura

28.06.2026

Ahora estoy viendo el vídeo “I Beat Every Rank on Chess.com” de Croissant en YouTube. Es muy divertido ver cómo este chico consigue tantos trofeos. Cuando veo sus vídeos, no entiendo cómo consigue mantener la cordura.

Para mí, sus desafíos son muy complicados porque soy principiante en ajedrez y no conozco muchas estrategias para ganar contra mis oponentes. Aunque puedo empezar mis partidas con algunas aperturas como la defensa siciliana, el juego central y el gambito de dama, todavía no entiendo cómo crear amenazas en el centro y calcular el jaque mate lo antes posible.

Después, estoy viendo un vídeo de Gotham Chess llamado “How to Learn and Study Chess Openings” para mejorar en ajedrez. Esta tarde aprendí más variaciones de aperturas, como el gambito de dama aceptado y el gambito de dama rechazado, en chessreps.com.

Para mí, Levy es un excelente maestro porque explica muchas estrategias de forma accesible y además es divertido. También me tomé tres fotos con él en un café de Manhattan y fue muy amable conmigo.

Que-ce que je ferai en l’été.

Il y a plusieurs activités que je vais faire pendant les vacances d’été. Premièrement, je pense que j’irai au Calgary pour aller visiter, mais je ne suis pas encore sûre. Si j’allais là, j’irais visiter le parc national fantastique de Banff. Si non, j’irais au Vancouver pour aller manger dans les gourmets chinois là bas. Deuxièmement, bien sûre, je pratiquerai mon français pour que je peux aller dans le collège merveilleuse de Brébeuf en Montréal. C’est une très bonne école! Troisièmement, je vais aller chez mon ami pour un “sleepover”. Là, on va jouer des jeux vidéo, surtout le Fortnite! Ça va être tellement amusants. Quatrièmement, je ferais des leçons de natation pour que je puisse devenir un “lifeguard”. Cinquièmement, je m’entraînerai. Pour conclure, en l’été, je serais très joyeux et occupé car j’aurais toutes ces activités que je peux faire.

Włoskie przysłowia i wyrażenia

Nie wiem, czy jest ktoś, kto interesuję się językiem włoskim. Tak czy siak, będę napisać o kilku włoskich przysłów oraz wyrażeń :)

1) "Non è tutto rosa e fiori" (dosł. "Nie wszystko jest z różami i kwiatami").
Używamy tego wyrażenia, kiedy danna sytuacja nie jest taka piękna, jak można się wyobrazić. Służy do przypominania, że rzeczywistość jest inna.

2) "Freddo cane" (dosł. "psi chłód"). Zdecydowanie nie jest to wyrażenie używane w tej pory roku! Tak mówi się, gdy jest bardzo zimno. "Psi chłód" znaczy po prostu, że jest tak zimno, że nie można zostawać ani psa na zewnątrz.

3) "Avere le mani bucate" (dosł. "Mieć dziurawe ręce").
Tak się mówi o człowieku, którzy wydaje pieniędzy, jakby były nieskończony. Chodzi o kogoś, kto nigdy nie będzie bogaty, bo nie ma nad sobą kontroly.

Nie jestem pewien, jakie wyrażenie są w Polsce ekwiwalentami. Jeśli wiecie, dajcie mi znać!
