JUST A DIARY ENTRY ON May.13th (Writing about a cup of coffee)
I would like someone to correct my diary. Could you do that for me, please?
JUST A DIARY ENTRY ON 13th.May
What do you drink for every breakfast? A glass of orange juice? Milk? Or a cup of tea?? I feel that American people drink a glass of milk for it, well though come to think of it, While when I had lived at with one Canadian family as a home-stay, they usually had served me a cup of milk every morning with a piece of bread. So, that's why I imagine that this is so. But In japan, I feel that most Japanese drink a cup of coffee. At least for me, I drink it every morning, and so does my father do so. Doing this every morninig is really beneficial for people, especially Japanese people since we would take in much (more?) caffeine. The Japanese are exactlly early birds, they have to be up at 5:30AM and then they head to a station to get to their own office in a hurry...concidentally, I don't think that it's good that Japanese do so in hurry to get to the office on time. I want the society of Japan to let people live their lives more comfortably....but I'm getting it's off the topic. Yeah, like this because, they prefer to drink a cup of coffee instead of milk or orange juice. Caffeine often makes us stay keep to be awake for the work time. Who knows, we couldn't get scolded from our boss with drinking much caffeine.0 votedMay 13, 20170Comparison Between The Book and Movie "Persepolis"
Today, I'd like to compare the movie and the book "Persepolis". I'm very suspect prone to do these comparisons because I'm passionate about books. Most of the times I prefer books to movies. And for Persepolis wasn't different.
I didn't see the funniest part of the book in the movie. How is it possible that the funniest book's part part of the book doesn't appear in the movie?
Before, iIt's good to know that "Persepolis" is a graphic novel and describes the history about of a Iranian girl, Marjane, in 1979 (time of Iranian Revolution)
I laughed so much when the Marjane's father went to her school to argue with a female principal about a situation that I don't remember well. So, during the discussion the female principal said something like this:
- Don't forget to send his daughter wear the chador correctly... without any hair appearing on your head...
So the father said:
- If hair is so sexy and so exciting to the point of having to hide them it, why don't you shave your mustache?
I laughed so much!
Because of that and much many other things, I prefer the book than to the movie.Great composition! :)

After a short break I came back to my affairs. Firstly I should had to search all the cupboards to find the saw and gloves. After I had rummaged through everything I noticed that the saw is was already in my hand, and the gloves on my hands. This is all because of the hot weather. I don't understand anything. Now I shall to (or: "Now I have to") cut down the tree that could crush the garden house in the near future and I wouldn't be able to drink a tea right there and or think about the meaning of life.
This is took about two hours, not counting the time spendend spent on cleaning. So its three hours. For now when But now that the job is done I can relax, eat, drink water, and go home. I've done everything.0 votedMay 12, 20174New technologiesy
We are too dependent of on technology, some are of it is good for us and they makes our lives easier but other parts maybe make our lives more difficult.
I can't imagine a world withoutought technologyies and I don't know if we could survive that.
Anyways, the new technologyies have has changed a lot our lives a lot and how we relation with relate to each other.
Almost all people use any some kind of social media sites everyday. These have advantages like you always can staying in touch with your friends, sending photos and videos instantly, and sharing that [them? or sharing information] with everyone.0 votedMay 12, 20170Do not disturb
There are a lot of social networks in our modern and hectic life. Each of us use one of the popular social networks. I can’t imagine working or studying without the Internet. But have you ever thought about your privacy?
Many people share private information wherever it’s possible, including photos, contact info, interests, education, work, military service and personal views. Is it safe? I can argue with that. [edit: may be better to say: " It's debatable"] And Online thieves were are used to using this crucial information to achieve their goals. Additionally, it’s beyond me why people post so much tedious information as well.
Why do social networks ask us questions connected with related to our activities, favourite music, movies, TV shows, books, games, and quotes? Why do they bother us for it? I suppose it’s not getting any better. I’ve never shared more than one photo every few months. I just filled in basic information about myself. And I offer suggest that everyone follow my example. Don’t share too much info. Take care about of your security. Just invite friends to dinner and say all you need. I think it make (more) sense.0 votedMay 11, 20171Traveling is definitely something magical...
Traveling is something magical, whether this is it be a train journey, or an airplane ride, or just a trip outside the city by bus.
What could be better than sitting by the window, and listening to your favorite music, and thinking looking at the trees which that seem to merge into a single spot? Or when you're gathering together with a big company crowd and playing the guitar or singing songs during a traveling journey?
As well you can also watch out of a porthole, wrapping yourself in a blanket while flying over the Pacific Ocean at about two or three o'clock in the at night and gradually fall asleep.
It's never mind It doesn't matter where you are going to or who you are going with. Traveling is definitely something beautiful.0 votedMay 11, 20171
