Breakfasts
Recently, I eat fruits and baguettes that are put blueberry jam or tarako spread for the breakfast. Tarako is small eggs of the particular fish.
I love soup that contains seafood. Today's dinner had fish soup, so I got seconds.
I eat lunch from 13：15 pm at school every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Every Tuesday and Thursday, I eat 15 minutes later, because my school has from kindergarten to high school and from grade 6 will eat the same time as secondary and high school, so we have to divide the time that we eat lunch.
It feel that the time we eat lunch is very weird. Because I used to eat at 12：30pm at the Japanese school in Japan.

Tired
I've been quite busy recently because I want to prepare for my business in these two months.
It's a little hard while there are also daily tasks to attend to.
I'll try to update my routine and keep writing here.
Oh, here is a video about my last hike: https://youtube.com/shorts/mV4qrBiibSU
I tried to narrate it last night, but I was too tired to finish it.
It was a stunning trail. I think I didn't capture the beauty and feeling.

Ich versuche früher aufzustehen
Aktuell stehe ich mich um 9 Uhr auf, bin aber nicht so stolz darauf, ich möchte gern früher aufstehen, deshalb versuche ich momentan früher ins bett zu gehen und genau nicht mein Smartphone vor Schlaf zu nutzen. Ich finde das Frühaufwachen sehr wichtig, denn kann mann viele Sachen vor Mittag schon machen und ist gesundheitlich besser.

Things about Languages (2)
I once tried to learn Korean on Duolingo. I didn't persist because I found it very difficult to memorize Hangul (the Korean alphabet). Later, I tried Italian because of Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels, which have become very popular among young women in China since being translated into Chinese. The TV adaptation has also been widely discussed. I bought the first book in the series, My Brilliant Friend, at a bookstore in Kuala Lumpur. Although it's available online in China, I decided to buy it there as a souvenir. Anyway, Italian sounds great, but the verb conjugations and pronunciation are too difficult for me, at least for now.
After that, I realised that conjugations are very common in European languages. Although I already knew about conjugations in Japanese, I still find it hard to learn any language that has them. Out of curiosity about the German language itself and its writers, such as Trakl, I began learning German by myself as a hobby about a year ago. Sometimes I find German pronunciation a little easier to learn compared to English. I like that German, like Chinese, can form words by simply combining them, whereas English requires mastering numerous roots. German might be the last language I learn, given that I haven't yet mastered English or Japanese very well. Also, I haven't had much time to learn it—I'm still stuck at the stage of learning pronunciation and memorizing the gender and plural forms of nouns, both of which are very difficult for a Chinese speaker.
I learned that there is grammatical gender in Russian when I was reading The Unwomanly Face of War. It is said that some branches of the military acquired feminine nouns in Russian because of those brave female soldiers. Here is an interesting difference. In languages that have grammatical gender, the emergence of feminine job titles signifies a step further toward gender equality. We have been there too. We used to add ‘女’(female/woman) before someone's job title to emphasize that she is brilliant. However, in recent years, we have been trying to remove the gender marker from job titles. After all, if gender equality is truly real, then no one need to emphasize gender when referring to a title.
One example of gender in Chinese is the translation of Virginia Woolf's name. Her family name used to be translated as '伍尔芙', and the character '芙' is commonly used in girls' names. Some people objected to this, arguing that foreign family names should not be translated by using characters that imply gender. As a result, 'Woolf' is now translated as '伍尔夫' in some versions. However, this still cannot satisfy everyone, because '夫' also implies gender—its basic meanings are 'husband' and 'male'. So, this has become a problem that is difficult to please everyone.
Another example is the translation of 'Monroe'. It can be translated as '梦露' in Marilyn Monroe or '门罗' in James Monroe. Although these two words mean nothing more than transliterations, this reflects a tendency to emphasize gender. Because Marilyn Monroe has always been seen as a sexy actress, she got a beautiful translation of her family name—'梦' means 'dream' and '露' means 'dew'—which is quite unfair to her, since she was an excellent person, not just a symbol of sexiness. By the way, Alice Munro's family name is also translated as '门罗', the same as James Monroe's, and this is because 'Munro' and 'Monroe' sound similar. In a word, gender is everywhere in languages, even in a language like Chinese without grammatical gender.
By the way, when My Brilliant Friend was published in China, some people were confused about the title '我的天才女友'—which means 'My Genius Girlfriend'. This title perplexed people: who is the genius girlfriend? Some even thought the book was about a lesbian couple. Although the word '女友(girlfriend)' could mean either 'someone's girlfriend' or 'a female friend' decades ago, people now tend to use it only to mean 'someone's girlfriend'. Therefore, the title has been explained many times to help people accept and understand it.

Como eu não esqueço tudo!
Em frente de minha escrivaninha tenho um caderno pequeno para escrivar tudo. Sem esse caderno, vou esquecer tudo que precisar lembrar. Escrivo lista da coisas faria, notas sobre assuntos preciso buscar e outras coisas que não posso esquecer. Para mim, esqueço coisas quase imediatamente e não lembro elas até estou na cama para dormir. Mas, a única coisa mal com isso é o caderno sempre está acima de minha escrivaninha. Então, quando estou no supermercado ou no carro, é muito fácil para esquecer o que preciso comprar ou o que coisa que precisaria fazer antes de chego á casa. Por alguma razão, esqueço coisas que escrever no celular mas lembro mais bem quando escrevo no caderno porque é físico.

I really like MIKEY & WYATT YouTube show
I'm in a lazy learning Enlish about last seven years. As we know practice and language enviroment around you are the one of most important factors in education.
So I found the MIKEY & WYATT channel few years ago when I fel a big interest to themes and comedy in this show but I understood only thirty percent of speech even with subs.
I want to share my glad that now I returned to the channel and have subsribed because I start to understand ninty percent of language there.
So I can watching the show a lot of time and getting pleasure of it.
I love this series because they laught at relationship and freindship themes.
I guess the show is made by a simple entusiasts crew and it add me some cute feelings.
I like to listen and discuss a diffetent spicy stories of my fellows in real life with misunderstanding, jealous and cheating.
So I have found the same in this show.
It has a some weak sides - the most significant for me is a little much tension and dragging on in the episodes.
And the second may be is some predictable situations and jokes.

I often use DeepL Translation when I write English here.
I use DeepL When I can't wirte what I want to write.

I thought my English was correct, and posted it even my spelling mistakes.
Very useful is also a problem.
I should checked it by myself.

Les musées sont-ils encore importants à l’ère numérique?
C'est vrai que le développement numérique a dans une certaine mesure boulversé nos habitudes. Certaines d'entre nous avons changés nos manières de travailler, le catalogue de culture accessible en ligne a explosé et même des formations universitaire sont désormais disponibles entièrement par internet. Malgré ces changements fondamental, les lieux culturelles (analogiques) restent d'après mon expérience à la fois pertinents et importants. Les insitutions, et les lieux culturelle plus généralement, sont plus que des lieux pour la consommation de culture, bien que ils sont parfois presentées ainsi. Les bonnes musées assument sélon moi, des grands responsabilités pédagogiques. Ils n'exhibitent pas just des objets, plutôt ils montrent et rendent accessibles des liens profondes, posent des questions précis de notre societé. Le musée est, sélon moi, globalement un lieu pour la transmission de à fois des connaissances et des questions pertinentes. En tant que insitution, le musée donne l'opportunité pour la consommation de culture, autant que pour le débat et production de la même. L'engagement avec une production culturelle en vrai vie offre aussi l'opportunité de rester un moment avec un sujet, de parateger une expérience avec des autres, et de s'engager à un thème qui possède des défis intellectuelles. Les expositions dans les musées ne sont pas toujours enrichissent, mais ils nous mettent au défi de rester curieux et attentivfs.

Mein Nickname
Mein Nickname ist eine Kombination von meinem Namen und meinem Vornamen. Es besteht nämlich aus den zwei ersten Buchstaben meines Vornamens und den fünf letzten Buchstaben meines Namens. In Südamerika ist es üblich, zwei Namen zu haben. Nämlich den Namen von dem Vater und den Namen von der Mutter. Der letzte Buchstabe meines Nicknames ist der erste Buchstabe des Namens meiner Mutter. Ich habe inzwischen vergessen, wann und wie ich auf diesen Nickname gekommen bin, aber ich mag ihn.

«Verdad a un lado de los Pirineos, error al otro»
Es una famosa frase del filósofo francés Blaise Pascal. Por supuesto los Pirineos marcan la frontera entre Francia y España. Lo que se considera normal o correcto en un país se puede considerar extraño o equivocado en el otro. Pascal quería decir que muchos de nuestros valores y leyes pareciendo obvios provienen de fuentes culturales, que son de hecho muy subjetivas. Pascal también creía en la existencia de leyes naturales objetivas, pero según ello, comprenderlas es más difícil que pensamos

Do social media platforms genuinely connect people, or do th
Today I'm gonna talk about a recent controversial topic: do social media platforms genuinely connect people, or do they mostly increase loneliness and comparison?
Recently, different social media like Instagram or Snapchat are evrywhere. They're used for various reaons but the main one is connecting with other people and met others. However, the use of those social media has fell adrift and people are increasingly using this to watch videos inspired by the Tiktok form.
In the first place, I'm gonna talk about the positive side of using social media, then the downsides. To conclude, I will talk about my use of those tools.
Social media were created in the late 20th century. The first one was called "sixdegrees" and it was used to connect with other people. But as a matter of fact, the first one that really exploded was Facebook created in 2004 by the billionaire Mark Zuckerberg. It was a real breakthrough and people could create for the first time a profile that could be followed by the other users. It was clearly the best thing since sliced bread back then.
Throughout the time, many other social media have been created. Probably the most famous now is Tiktok. It has rock the world with the very short videos format that allowed people to swipe and skip videos they weren't interested in. This feature was the perfect answer to the new system the generation Z is in. It generates more dopamine and brings a lot of pleisure for a really short time.
Basically, the purpose of that social media completely fall adrift for the previous one social media were created. It was purely created for entertainment.
Nowadays, we can categorise social media into two categories. The first one is connecting and chagrine with friends and family. The other one is entertainment.
I would say the first one is positive in the large scheme of things, but the second one can be really harmful.
Indeed, being able to have discussions with friends is really useful to keep sharing moments with them, particularly when they are separated by a long distance. Moreover, it's an efficient tool when you wanna schedule plans or parties with your friends.
I think it must be much easier that it used to be before the creation of social media (I'm only sixteen I've always lived with that).
But the part that is way more problematic is the second. Indeed, creating social media for entertainment can look like a great idea but it's actually dangerous for your mental health. Indeed créations are using all the existential tips to get you hooked to their app so that you spend the most time on their app and they get the most money as possible. The problem is that you can feel depending to those social media, you can-/ do without them.
You're getting used to the dose of dopamine it's giving you and other activities like reading or even watching a movie can feel boring cause it's longer. You're getting used to swipe everything and you brain feels like he's always rewarded.
To conclude, I think the best way to fight against that addiction is to understand that you are addicted. It looks stupid but it's the first step to stop it. Then you need to find a way to reduce your screen time. The most efficient (I'm actually using it right now) is deleting the apps you're wasting time on. In my case, I deleted Instagram and Tiktok cause it was useless and it creates a feeling of competition that I found very harmful. Moreover, the positive side of Instagram, which is speaking with friends, wasn't efficient cause I spend the most time on Instagram scrolling rather than talking with friends (I do it on Instagram). The other way is to reduce progressively to find the perfect balance between entertainment and productivity.
I hope you enjoyed reading my text. Please tell me how you found my English and feel free to give me advice!

Hand Fan
When I was a kid living in the countryside, summer was very hot and we had no electricity.
The only way to cool down was a hand fan, which was made from the leaves of some kind of plant, I guess.
Since it was made of leaves, it was cheap and very light to hold, but it broke easily.
Every summer, families in the countryside would buy a few new hand fans, and it was common to see people waving a fan to fight the summer heat.
Behind my village, there was a woods where the tree canopies blocked out the sky, casting deep shade. So when the villagers had nothing to do, they loved to go to those woods to enjoy cooler moments.
Sometimes at night, villagers also loved to find a spot with a strong breeze and stay there to cool off.
I have air conditioners now, but I rarely use them because I don’t feel comfortable staying in a room with the air conditioner on for too long.
I prefer to be outside, feeling the natural wind, which is very comfortable.

Spam Calls
In the last several days, I have been receiving an unusually high number of spam calls on my phone.
Thanks to an anti-nuisance call function, all of the spam calls were automatically blocked, but since they are shown as missed calls on my call list, I get fed up just seeing them.
Whenever I see an unknown number for the first time, I'll search it on Google and check where it's coming from.
Some are from Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
I never return phone calls from numbers that seem to be nuisance callers.

L’Histoire de la chirurgie plastique
Quand on pense à la chirurgie plastique, on pense généralement aux rhinoplasties, aux abdominoplasties, au Botox et aux fillers. Mais en réalité, la chirurgie esthétique est seulement une petite partie de la chirurgie plastique. En fait, je pense que la chirurgie plastique est une des branches de la médecine la plus méconnue. Je pensais qu’aujourd’hui je pourrais faire ma part pour dissiper ce mythe. D’abord, la chirurgie plastique est étonnamment ancienne. En 800 avant JC le chirurgien indien Sushruta a réalisé des percées en utilisant les lambeaux cutanés pour reconstruire les nez. Les romans utilisaient les techniques basiques de la chirurgie plastique pour réparer les oreilles en 100 avant JC. En 1000 après JC, le chirurgien et chimiste Al-Zahrawi a introduit l’utilisation des sutures en soie pour créer un meilleure effet cosmétique, parce qu’elles créent moins de cicatrices. Le chirurgien américain John Mettauer à pratiqué la première opération pour guérir la fente palatine en 1827. Comme on peut voir, les chirurgiens essaient de perfectionner ce domaine depuis longtemps. Mais la chirurgie plastique a vraiment commencé à gagner en terrain pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Le « père » de la chirurgie plastique moderne est globalement considéré comme le Néo-Zélandais Harold Gillies. Il a appris les techniques des greffes de peau du chirurgien maxillo-facial français Hippolyte Morestin. Ensuite, il a fondé un service hospitalier pour les blessures faciales. Il a visé de guérir la défiguration faciale dans les soldats. Il a fait de nombreuses percées, comme les greffes de peau « ambulatoires ». Ses patients ont formé « Le Club des cobayes », pour rassembler tous les soldats qui ont reçu ses nouvelles techniques. On profite encore de ses progrès. De nos jours, la chirurgie plastique est vraiment plus raffinée. Elle englobe une vaste gamme de maladies : les cancers de la peau, les brûlures, la reconstruction après un cancer, les anomalies congénitales et les maladies de mains (par exemple, le doigt à gâchette). Quand les gens ont besoin de réimplanter les doigts, c’est les chirurgiens plastiques qui font ça. L’invention de la microchirurgie a permis des opérations plus en plus précises. Qui sait ce que l'avenir nous réserve ?

Salvar la distancia requiere solo una pequeña sorpresa
Contexto: Los dos personajes son chicas de la secundaria.
"¿Qué pasa? Pareces un poco deprimida."
Clare ha salido su grupo de amigas y de repente se le acercó a A. A vaciló al principio, ella nunca ha hablado con Clare, pero le ha mirado un largo tiempo. Esta acción impulsiva fue típica de Clare, y tenía celos de Clare por ello, pero eventualmente se ablandó y empezó a hablar.
"No es algo que entiendas Clare."
"Inténtalo. Puedo soprenderte."
"Entiendes, eso es lo que quiero decir. No te importa lo que la gente piensa. Puedes hablar conmigo y no te pasará nada malo. No puedo hacerlo. A todo el mundo, soy solo 'fulana A o B', nada más."
Ella ha dicho más de lo que pretendía. No se acostumbraba a este tipa de conversación, estaba siempre a la distancia. Estaban de dos mundos separados, y no servía de nada cambiar eso.
"No es verdad. No eres 'fulana A o B', eres Ximena."
Ximena quedó un poco estupefacta.
Clare sonrió.
"Dije que te sorprenderé, ¿no?"
Preguntas: ¿Es el cambio de "A" a "Ximena" tiene sentido en español? ¿También es la forma de escribir diálogo donde quien está hablando no se revela explícitamente suena natural?
