    About my chores

    I live with my boyfriend and we each have household chores.
    In the morning I make the bed, cook breakfast, and pack food to take with us. Then we go to work.
    In the evening I cook dinner, wash the dishes, and take out the rubbish ["trash" to Americans and Canadians].
    Every Saturday I wash the floor and dust.
    My boyfriend always helps me.

    Your studying must be your lifestyle

    Hello all you lovely people! I've to say a few words about studying.
    First: Do everything with pleasure. We are extremely lazy creatures, (at the minimum it's true about me:) ) that's why we need to get our happy-hormone from work well done.
    Second: All that we have in this amazing world are mind and soul. The soul is always perfect, but the mind needs to be exercised. Having a good mind always gives you success, or whatever you want to get.
    Of course, that's not all, that I would want to say, but I'll do more in the next note.

    Best regards, Misha

    A day at a time

    Two days ago I had an interesting conversation with some person, whose internet profile absolutely amazed me.
    I left her a message and was very pleased to get her response rather quickly.
    During our conversation I realized she's a bit of a mistrustful and cautious person, but with a rich, colorful inner world.
    The best part of our talk was when she said: "I'm taking life one day at a time. A person cannot do more than a day at a time otherwise they might not do so well."
    Аfter those words I was sure that I hadn't written to her in vain!
    I thought: "Even if it were the only thing I had to learn this day, I'm happy I learned it!"
    Have you ever noticed that people trying to take more than a day at a time often look tired and confused, but not confident and peaceful?
    Their lives revolve around the past or they're too worried about what will happen in the future.
    No, I don't get down on people that want to live this way, but I actually try not to live by it myself.
    Sometimes successfully, sometimes not at all.
    Nevertheless, I think that’s worth my trying again and again!
    Let's try to take things more easily : )

    To create or to destroy?

    There is an interesting quote that I heard today and it gives me no peace, so to speak. I'm not sure whether I might say "quote" or not, because of the large number of words in it. Anyway, the quote is: "Nobody has seen an atom. Even in a super electron microscope you can't see an atom. We've observed its activity, but we have never seen an atom as such; however, we have broken it. We are capable of breaking things even if we cannot see them. We are very proud of this these days." After a small pause the author added: "Whether we can make it or not is a questionable thing, but we can break anything we want. Even if we cannot see something, we can break it."
    I'm also not sure if I wrote down his words without mistakes from the perspective of English grammar, but I caught the essence of the words accurately. It's important to add, the author said those words without feelings of pride or anything like that.
    He said it with deep disappointment, and at the same time with mockery, that nowadays humanity is too complacent and too proud of their achievements. So we often don't pay attention to the fact that we tend to destroy, but not to create.
    Perhaps, if we pay attention to what we do and how that affects the world as well as creatures around us, we will be able to create more and destroy less.
    Let's create instead of destroying! It's harder, but more enjoyable : )

    My departure date is coming

    My departure date is coming.
    I'm going to leave Japan on Saturday.
    It doesn't feel real yet that I'm leaving Japan.
    Recently, I was surprised by many friends throwing a farewell party for me. I appreciate my friends.
    By the way, I sent my possessions to the US today. I'm worried about it because this is the first time in my life in a foreign country. I don't know what I should bring, but I hope my preparation are good. I'm going to enjoy my life in Japan until my departure date.

    Self Introduction E1

    I worked as a senior leasing manager in a commercial real estate company for around 6 years in Shanghai. Our business was opening shopping malls in different cities in China. My work was making the merchandising plans and attracting a lot of famous retail brands like Calvin Klein, ZARA, H&M, GAP, A&F etc. to our shopping malls. We needed to negotiate with those companies and help them to solve any problems, such as legal issues, shop design and [decor or decorating], rental and lease periods, until their shops opened. I started to get bored after I worked in this industry for 6 years. There was a chance to immigrate to Sydney, so I decided to live there. I want to learn more stuff in another country. The first year in Sydney I wanted to open a gift shop for Chinese tourists. I found a job in a gift shop in China Town to collect more information on business for myself, but after a few months I just gave up this idea cause I found that their return on invest was not really good. Also, there were too many of the same type of shops in Sydney recently. During the period of working at this gift shop, I started to purchase Australia products for my Chinese clients.

    To be continued......

    When the interviewer asks me if I want to use English or Chinese:

    I would prefer to answer the questions in Chinese. While I have been communicating with my English teacher for some time, and my oral English has greatly improved, I still can not speak English well. it is clear that answering questions in Chinese would be more accurate and complete.

    How to modify this passage to make it sound more comfortable?

    < fine art, spring, day off

    Yesterday I went to the opening of an exhibition that took place at the local museum.
    There were dozens of portraits, landscapes and still-lifes by local artists, who are all members of an art association named "The Palette".
    Every March they arrange such exhibitions of their new works devoted to the coming of spring.
    My friend Julia is a member of this art association and she invited me, as she does every year, so I gladly agreed to come.
    I love fine art so much, especially pictures with landscapes, so I enjoyed being there.
    After the end of the event, we had a nice, casual conversation with the rest of the artists and had a little dry wine and some fruit.
    The day was excellent and, I have to admit, I haven't felt this good for a long time!
    Sometimes we need such simple things to get away from our daily routines.
    How long have you been working without a day off?
    Allow yourself to get some rest : )

    Top 3 things Spaniards do well and top three things they do poorly.

    What we do right is certainly to keep our head above water. In a country where the basic salary is 600 EUR, and an average one is around 1000 EUR, it's pretty common to see people spend a third of that amount in a night. So definitely while dealing with such lower salaries, the population of that country never had a lack of practically anything, food, beverages, tobacco, parties, fancy clothes, or vacations. I still wonder how they manage to get all those everyday little whims.
    I certainly believe that most of our good features are related to this first paragraph. For instance, we are terrific at enjoying life, and good weather always helps. You just go out to enjoy life, it's not hidden anywhere, it's all over the place. Get-togethers, people laughing, children playing, streets full of life everywhere, outdoors activities suited for every kind of inhabitant. No reason for being at home when you can visit the closest Bar Manolo in your neighbourhood, where you' ll find small talk, a good way to socialize and just waste some time doing something as simple as chatting to whomever. No need to know them previously or share the same taste, age or background. I'd say they're easy-going folks.
    The last thing we do well is to criticize, envy and complain. Actually, they're three different things, although I find it easy to create a section for them. Criticise all you can, but never do anything about it. Envy all those who are ahead of the pack, obviously, you're not that one. For sure keep envying whether someone is able to do stuff you couldn't even dream of. Or last but not the least, complain as much as possible about politics, but don't forget to vote in the ones in charge of ruining your country a little bit more day after day since almost the beginning of democracy.
    What we do badly, (I'm so hard on us) thus I'd like to just point out three items as I stated in the title of this writing.
    We don't have class consciousness at all. Most of the population keep supporting an atrocious government, which is zillions of years away from their social situation, by repeating the same mantras media broadcasts every day. The problem is they don't realize that the party is only for those on top and they're not going to be invited to such Valhalla. We're bad at burying the hatchet among peers, given that we have yet to do so, perhaps since the civil war. The worst thing we do is keep missing a dictator who was the devil of a nation who still mourns his loss.
