Which vlogger should I imitate? I'm finding one vlogger to imitate to improve my speaking skills. I'm wavering between two people. Please share you opinions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df5IuyPxGxY To me her voice is quite on the anime-ish side. Do only young girls speak like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sDD--u_WVE It might be easier for me to imitate the first vlogger because it's more dramatic. But I think most people speak like the second vlogger.

Why do people feel lonely? Why do people feel lonely? Is it because they have no one to talk to? To some, yes. To others, no. You can have tons of friends on Facebook and feel lonely at the same time. It is not because you cannot talk to them but because you cannot share what troubling you with them. I have troubled my best friend too much with my problems lately. I have just met him so it is natural that I'm hesitated to talk to him about this. It has been a long time since I talked to her so bothering her with stuff like this does not seem like a good idea. What should I do? I cannot find anyone to share what are inside my head and they are driving me crazy. You ponder various things and yet, you take no action. Instead of driving yourself nuts by this way of thinking, perhaps you should just take a bath and relax for a while.

Butter Buns There is one food that has captured my heart. It is butter buns. They are small rounded bread with butter filling. The first thing that strikes me is the sweet refreshing aroma of the butter. By taking a sniff, I feel like seeing heaven. It only works the first time though. The more you sniff, the less you smell. Buns have a light tan color with a pattern on top. This design is similar to those that you see in latte art. They look amazing and taste divine. I always eat the outer layer of the bun first. Sometimes I use my hands to peel it off but other times I just use my teeth to tear it slowly apart. It is so soft and fluffy that it melts in my mouth. After the crust comes the crumb. It is tender but can be airy sometimes. I suppose that the bland taste is the needed break before we go to smooth and sweet butter filling. Not all people like sugary foods; however, I have a sweet tooth which makes that starchy and sugary bread roll perfect for me. Once I have a bite into that part, the 'sugariness' just goes straight into the brain and leaves such a satisfying feeling. Nowadays, I cannot find a bakery that puts as much filling as the one where I used to buy buns. Even that shop keeps downsizing the size of buns and putting just a small amount of butter inside them. I’m so disappointed at life! Although butter buns are no longer enjoyable as they used to be, they remain my favorite breakfast food choice. On the other hand, everything becomes delectable after a morning swim.

Procrastination Why do people procrastinate? Is it because we are afraid of engaging in difficult things? What I mean is that what we procrastinate doing is usually something difficult to get done or at least that is what we think. Does it make sense at all? Anyway, right now I postpone writing a description of bun with butter filling. I planned to do it at the beginning of this week. I have finished the first draft but have not done checking and correcting it. Surfing the internet and chatting with my friends are easier than writing a paragraph about buns. I'm even writing about procrastination instead of focusing on that one. It is just weird. Why can I bring myself to do the thing I need to do? How do you deal with procrastination?

It's raining out there It's raining out there. It's not raining inside my house of course. Sometimes I feel a little bit empty and want to put my thought down into words. I bet everyone feels that way from time to time. Why do humans suffer? Why can we never feel satisfied with what we have? Why do we have to keep trying to get everything we do not have at the moment? Is the things we have now enough for us? I'm surprised at my greediness and my tendency of striving towards perfection. They tire me out but the greedy me just don't let them go. I'm just talking nonsense. Never mind. Thanks for reading anyway.

までには usage A　「すみません、山田さんはどうですか。」 B　「山田さんは会議中ですが、会議は一時半までには終わると思いますよ。」 I don't understand the usage of までには in this example. Why did は　appear twice "会議は。。。までには" and would に be necessary as with まで alone we could understand the meaning of the sentence?

Possessive This question appeared in an exercise in 毎日の聞き取り. I chose A, but the correct answer was B. Could somebody explain this to me because I thought they meant the same thing? リーさんのかさはどれですか。 A. それはリーさんのです。 B. リーさんのはそれです。

このアパートが/は I wanted to express the idea that "No matter how inconvenient this apartment is, I will live here." I don't understand why the native speaker correcting my sentence changed は into　が. He hasn't explained it to me yet. Can someone help me clarify this point? このアパートは便利でなくても私はここで住みます。 このアパートが便利でなくても私はここに住みます。
