It has been raining for a week. The weather is so similar in these days: it is sunny in the morning, then it start to rain in the afternoon.
My feeling of the weather is quite contradictable. On one hand, I haven't been going riding for a week because of the rain. Especially I want to visit Auntie Detay by bike. I miss the feeling of riding. I miss the wind caressing my face. I miss the sunset and clouds. I miss seeing the birds flying over the fields. I miss Auntie so much.
On the other hand, when it rains, it is pretty cool. I like the temperature very much because I hate the heat. I can sleep very well at night without an air condition working. I don't have to wake up because of thirst even though the humidifier is working. Furthermore, it is so quiet when it rains. What I can hear is only the rain. I can stay in the house and just watch the rain falls. I feel like I'm a little island in the sea. Or I can read with the rain dropping.
When I was younger, I hated the raining days a lot. While I like it in some periods. My emotions changed easily because of the weather. I could hardly control myself or maybe I didn't want to. I am quite peaceful now because I know that I can't change the weather. But I can change my mind to make life easier.
It is raining outside now.

You had the correct pronunciation of 杭州, but you are wrong in their tone. You actually pronounced the 杭 in the third tone and the 州 in the second tone. Their right tone is the 杭 in the second tone and the 州 in the first tone. However, you were doing a good job.
Based on what from your message, I know how great the love parents give their children is! They never want to put their children under pressure, no matter what situation they are in, they just suffer in silence, never want to bother their children.
In China, rural cultivated land belongs to collective ownership, and is contracted to farmers for farming without any charges. Not every farmer is qualified to attend our training. They should be specialized in a certain industry and have a certain scale, and other requirements. According to some benefiting farmers' policies, as long as you can meet some specific requirements, you can get some financial subsidies from the government. Additionally, all income from farmland belongs to farmers. So nowadays, being a farmer in China is definitely not a bad thing.
Yes, I am very satisfied with my job and I am glad to do some work helping farmers.
For historical reasons, I never went to college, but I do know some common rules about 高考. When students enter high-schools, they are supposed to be divided into science and liberal arts according to comprehensive situations and their own will. When they get the college entrance exam, they can also choose which major and university to study in. So most of them could choose their favorite majors and university, but if you don't get an ideal score in the exam, you probably have less chance of getting an ideal major and a university. Additionally, I learned that you could change your major during college if you meet certain requirements. Therefore, I think that girl didn't at least tell you about these whole aspects.
Yes, that's my happiest thing too to communicate with you and I have learned a lot from you. I do appreciate all the communications between us, so let's keep it going.

Jetzt dass Skaten eine olympische Sportart ist, hat Brasilien seine Chance um zu zeigen wie gut er ist. Wir haben Silber gewonnen und sogar die USA geschlagen. Eine besondere Konkurrentin in Frauen-Skaten war die 13-jährige Rayssa Leal. Sie ist berühmt für den Spitznamen Fadinha (Feelein), nachdem sie als Fee verkleidet einen Heelflip gemacht hatte und Tony Hawk selbst das Video geteilt hat. Sie vertrat dieses Jahr Brasilien und trat gegen viel ältere Gegner an, wie die 34-jährige aus den USA. Sie hat Silber gewonnen und nur gegen ein anderer 13-jährige japanische Skateboarderin verloren. Wir haben Silber in Männer-Skaten auch gewonnen aber dort gab es keine Wunderkinder. Es gibt aber einige aufstrebende Sterne, wie Filipe Mota und der 11-jährige Gui Khury, der letztes Jahr Geschichte geschrieben hat, indem er einen 1080 auf einer Rampe landete.

When I was young, my family used to go to mountain streams during summer vacations.
My home was close to the mountains, so it was easy to go there.
My friends and I went the stream after school.
But I can't go any mountain streams because my new home is far away from the mountains where have good streams.
Moreover, I don't want to stock in heavy traffic which is occuring every weekend.
However, I need to try to go any places where my kids can get same memories as I did.

전근대인도에선 논쟁이 궁전의 오락이자 말장난이나 조롱을 좋아하는 재치꾼의 경쟁이었다. 논쟁을 잘 하는 이들은 제자, 명성, 부유함까지를 얻을 수 있었다. 그런 실용적인 목표들의 이면에는 더 고결한 목표들도 뒤얽혀 있었다. 유신론자와 무신론자들이 종교적 교리에 대해서 논의를 했다. 종교계 안팎에서도 사회적영향이 있는 논란들이 토론되었다. 의학적인 치료 방법의 효과도 이런 논쟁거리였다.
서기 9세기에서 10세기에는 니야야 (의미: 추리) 학파 철학자인 바챠스파티 미스라가 논쟁은 진실을 추구해야 사회에 이로울 수 있다고 주장했다. 또한 논쟁은 인간이 짧고 취약하고 고통스러운 삶에서 최고의 행복함을 이루는 것에 도움이 될 수도 있다고 생각했다. 하지만 논쟁의 목표가 그렇게 고결한 것이라면 우리가 논쟁에 이기는 것에 대해서 관심을 가지는 게 과연 지혜로운가? 그리고 논쟁은 진실로 이어질 수 있으면 우리가 항상 누군가와, 어디에서든 논쟁해야 한가? 바챠스파리의 대답을 이해하려고 하면 먼저 니야야의 논쟁 철학을 이해해야 한다.

1. Pedí un PS4 gamepad. Quiero el conectar a mi ordenador o móvil para hacer de aprendir de palabras (con Anki app) más fácil y más interesante. El funcionará un poco como un juego. Naturalmente el usaré para jugar a otros videojuegos.
2. Pedí una tableta barata. Tiene un stylus que convertir la caligrafía en texto. No tiene la pantalla. El gamepad y la tableta llegan el próximo martes o miércoles.
3. Arreglé la impresora. Se atascó con papel y no pudo imprimir. Tuvo que la abrir. La limpié y quité el papel atascado.

The CDC reported the Delta variant of coronavirus is as transmittable as chickenpox. I remember I got chickenpox when I was a little child. It was agony because of the itch. In addition, I couldn't go to kindergarten or go out since chickenpox has strong infectivity and it's decided not to attend school until cured completely. The report is bad news.

No verão de 2017, nós fomos a Shanghai, Hangzhou e Suzhou, de China.
Shanghai é uma cidade grande, e é lotados de povos.
Antigamente, Shanghai tinha muitos povos estrangeiros.
Então, os lugares em Shanghai há os edifícios estrangeiros.
Foram lindo!
Na uma noite, a minha família e eu foram a barco e via espetáculo perto o rio.
A noite de Shanghai fui bonita.
Nós visitamos Jardim Yu, e foram uma jardim chinesa tradicional.
Na jardim há tanque pequeno com os peixes.
Pode ver madeiras verdes e construções tradicionais.
Este jardim foi a minha favorito lugar em Shanghai.
Mas, tinha demais pessoas!

Today was a busy day. I did things I don't used to do. I was out of my home most of the day, didn't read nor write anything. Today I wanted to continue the writing of a fictional dialogue. Now, I don't feel I'm in the mood for that. May be tomorrow.
While J. was driving I thought of all the unconscious decision we took along the day. I don't know exactly what this means, it just stroke me as a passing idea. Other thing I've been thinking about this day is that all the researches - at least those that are in the field of humanities- are essentially discourses. With this I mean that every result should be express in a text that resemble a speech. It has to be coherent and articulated, as a history. The order is critical too. What matter should be addressed first? Can be use a sort of historical criteria? Or is it better to use one based on the importance of the given subject? These are questions that I think every humanist have resolved before. But, they are encrypted in the structure an tone of theirs texts.
Now, I only want to sleep.

Je vis dans une ville universitaire et cette universitaire est connue pour leur football américaine équipe, donc j'imagine que quand quellqun veut visiter ici, c'est parce qu’ils ont de grands fans de ce sport, et ils voulaient toutes les choses qui correspond avec ça. Moi, personnellement, e ne suis pas une énorme fan, donc je ne peux pas vraiment dire tout les chose a personne doit faire à cause de ça. Mais pour une chose à éviter en termes de ça, je suggère rester pas plus que deux semaines, parce que si tu restes plus longue que ça, tu vas deviner ennuyer, parce qu'il n’y a rien à faire ici, franchement.

自從上了藝大後,我都是使用電腦來畫畫的。用電腦畫畫比較方便,如果畫錯了可以馬上改,而且不需花很多時間就可以試試不同的畫法。我現在主要用 iPad Pro 或繪圖板來畫畫,認為各有各的好處。要是用 iPad 的話,無論去到哪裏都可以畫。反而坐在電腦前用繪圖板,顯示器的螢幕大,看到的範圍也更多,而且不用彎著脖子看螢幕,所以畫得更加舒服。舊時我喜歡用 Photoshop,但最近由於幾個原因以改了用 Clip Studio Paint。Clip Studio Paint 不用每個月付款,交了一次費用就不需擔心了。因為這個軟件是為繪圖愛好者而製作的,所以它擁有的功能都比較適合我。更何況其他用戶會在官方網站上上傳自己創造的素材,因此有很多不同筆刷可以試試看。看起來我好像在寫廣告一樣,但我真的超級喜歡用這個軟件來畫畫。

Demain matin je vais rendre visite à ma fille. J’ai vraiment hâte de la voir. La dernière fois que je l’ai vue était en Octobre. On parle à FaceTime 4 ou 5 fois par semaine mais c’est pas la même chose.
Mon ex-femme habite à peu près cinq heures de ma blonde et moi. Le plan c’est d’aller chercher ma fille demain après midi et puis de rester à un hôtel demain soir. Ma fille adore nager alors on va probablement visiter la piscine plusieurs fois. En plus, on va aller manger a son restaurant préféré. C’est assez proche de l’hôtel et ils servaient le petit déjeuner pendant toute la journée. Je vais la gâté et je vais la laissée manger ce qu’elle veut.
Après ça, on va rendre visite à ma sœur et sa famille. Elle a deux petits garçons qui sont à peu près la même âge que ma fille. Il y a un grand parc qui est proche à ma sœur et les enfants adore jouer ici. Ils peut facilement passé quelques heures par jour ici.
L’autre chose qu’on va essayer de faire c’est de visiter le zoo. Toutes les enfants aime les animals et parfois il y a l’opportunité d’y caresser. En plus, le dernier fois qu’on est allé ma fille a monter un petit cheval. Au debut elle avait peur mais vers le fin elle était vraiment contente.
Ces visites sont vraiment spéciales pour ma fille et moi. J’essaie de prendre plusieurs photos et on cree des mémoires pour la reste de nos vies.

Je suis allée au musée de Picasso aujourd'hui car l'entrée du musée était gratuit. Il y avait plein d'oeuvres qui n'étaient pas exposée parce que ce musée a troqué ces œuvres contre celles du musée du Rodin. Une explication imprimée sur le mur a dit qu'ils avaient beaucoup de points communs, mais personne ne sait que s'ils étaient amis ou ils avaient des échanges de quelque sort.
Ce qui m'a faut plaisir, c'est des toiles d'Henri Rousseau collectionés par Picasso, qui l'admirait pour son talent à peindre librement. Mon mari et moi nous sommes renseignés sur ce douanier il y a environ deux mois. A ce moment là on avait déjà connu son nom mais pas plus. Par la suite on est tombé sur une châine Youtube mené par M. Goro Yamada, qui répondrait à des questions sur des tableaux célèbres. Dans ses quatre vidéos, il a expliqué comment était Rousseau et ses histoires avec humeur, ce qui nous a fait aimer ce peintre exceptionnel. Malheureusement, il n'y a pas de sous-titres, même en japonais, mais je vous recommande de chercher un peu d'informations sur lui comme les histoires concernant lui sont assez passionnantes.

Ich lese gerade Bergmans kurz Autobiografie namens "Laterna Magica" (die magische Laterne). Ich bin ein großer Fan von seiner Filme und jetzt als ich dieser Biografie lese, fasziniert mich Bergman immer noch. Ein Aspekt, den ich sehr interessant finde, ist seine Beziehung mit Liv Ullmann. Bergman hat Ullmann 1965 während der Produktion von Persona kennengelernt, und es scheint, dass die beiden sofort verbunden waren. Das war eine seltsame Zeit in Bergmans Leben, er war schon immer von Melancholie geplagt. Es scheint, als hätte die Beziehung zu Ullmann eine neue Phase in seinem Leben begonnen. Eine neue Phase für beide wirklich. Das Filmen von Persona auf einer Insel scheint den beiden geholfen zu haben, sich zu verbinden, da sie lange Spaziergänge gemacht haben und anscheinend sie alles miteinander geteilt haben, gute und schlechte Meinungen, ohne Vorurteile oder Angst voreinander. Als ihre Verbindung gestärkt und Bergman bemerkte, dass er in Liv verliebt war, sagte er:
"...du och jag är smärtsamt anslutna"
Ich fand es wirklich schön.

After dinner, I felt exhausted. I knew I should go to study, such as English, drums etc. But what I want to do was to read a novel online because I didn't want to think anything, and I haven't been to the top floor for a few days. Today was cool, I thought I should go upstairs to enjoy the comfortable moment.
I picked a bl novel randomly. To my surprise, it was pretty good. There was a plot that a boy A had a relationship online, he just talked to his boyfiend on telephone, they had never seen each other for six months before they broke up. His roommate asked him why he didn't have a ralationship with somebody live nearby, so that they could hang out a lot. A answered,"I just felt lonely and wanted to have connection with someone."
Suddenly, I found out that it is the same reason why I wanted to read a novel instead of learning something. Intellectually, I should've learned something I think is more valuable such as English, which can help me with my IELTS. In contrast, reading a novel was unvalued, which was wasting fo time. Emotionally, I wanted to take a break from a whold day work. The two thoughts were fighting. As a result, I couldn't concerntrate on the novel totally because I felt guilty. I
could hardly enjoy myself. Furthermore, I began to think where I really want to be? Who I really want to be? What I think I should do is really what I want to do? I had no answer.
Two hours later, I felt bored. Thus, I stopped reading. When I was on my way of taking the rubbish out, I remember the sentence from the entry which was about the satisfaction running. "Running was so easy that I just needed to run step by step. The right foot, then the left foot, again and again." Yep, life can be also easier and simpler when I just take it step by step. So, I sit down and write down my struggle to improve my English. And then I need to go to bed early and get up early.

I've been feeling bad lately. Whatever it is now fills me with a kind of dread about writing for my weekly classes. I spend a lot of time in front of the computer, but I have absolutely no idea what to write about. I'm striving for perfection too much, and some topics I'm framing are too ambitious and I have no control over them at all. Although these assignments are optional, I have failed to turn them in 3 times. This is not a good start. Moreover, the process of drafting the writing took too long, which also affected my entire schedule.
