yuko's notebook entry: Mar 27, 2011

Let me introduce myself.
I have been a physical therapist for about 5 years (I added a space). I am working in my house on the second floor. I have some customers almost everyday. I am still studying about my job to improve my skills, and I am also studying English everyday when I have free time.
I have a 12 year old daughter. She has just graduated (from) elementary school. We are both studying English very hard. Someday, I want to live in a place where(this is more natural) people speak English. So I am trying to study very hard. I want to have many friends here.
Thank you!

Power of people

You already know about earthquake in Japan.
It happened a little bit far from Tokyo, but its earth tremor was so big.

When it happened, I was in the center of Tokyo, and lots of buildings were shaken. (or: lots of buildings trembled.)
It was so dreadful. Many people were confused.
There is no train service...I had to walk for 7 hours to go home (ordinarily it takes 1 hour by train).
I was lonely because mobile phones couldn't be used.
I couldn't stop crying when I reached our home and met my mam ("mom" is probably more common).

I was shocked when I turned on the TV.
I didn't know the condition was so bad when I was walking.
I couldn't believe the fact.
I've never seen such a sight in Japan....

Today, one of my best Korean friends give me text and phonecall.
And italki friends sent me lovely messages. Thank you very much!
On twitter, people believe in the safety of Japan.
My heart was warmed.
I found many people in the world cheer up Japan!
I was moved by the power of people.

Around Tokyo the condition is good, but northeastern area is still so bad.
I have to cheer them up!

Please pray we will get well soon.

Responsibility

I have just been lucky.

It might have been decided how many people get afflicted by a disaster.

Everybody deserves it .

Just we never know when and where it's happening.

I choose to be a freelance broadcaster to show how wonderful thing we can use words.  (I'm not sure how to change this one)

But I recognized afresh that I have a calling to pass down to our future what is happening in Japan, (I removed the space between "Japan" and ",")and about people who lived.

This time, I am left alive, instead of as a victim.

We all have to take responsibility for being here, and for our behavior...

Please call me Sana! ("Please call me by the name of Sana" is also okay, but it is maybe too long)
I wanted to learn English while working in foreign countries buy now. （これ、意味１００％わからないけど・・・　"I wanted to learn English while working in foreign countries by now."）


I want to sharpen their sense of flying overseas someday.
（their = 彼たちの、彼女たち）
（自分の sense of flying overseas　だったら、 "I want to sharpen my sense of flying overseas")
