英語でつぶやき:困ったやつだせ、ミックさんよ~。(8/17)

Today I snapped at Mick, our bloody dog, when I was playing with him. I know he loves playing with his toy, which I throw for him to fetch, the problem is that he is sooo obsessed with the toy that he wouldn't let it go from his mouth no matter how many times I tell him to do so. He used to be much better but for some reason his obsession and possessiveness have become quite stronger recently, and it is very annoying! We have to go through a BIG drama each and every time I throw.... Sigh...I am getting sick and tired of it, running out of patience.

There must be some reason why he does that so we should find out what it is and sort it out. Ambi, the other dog, is a very faithful and submissive dog, so the life is much easier with her. Ambi is about a year older than Mick, and I admit that she used to be a pain in the neck as well as a puppy. Maybe she was worse than Mick. I wonder when Mick grows out of his bad habits.... or it might never come?? Well, between you and me,  today I had to smack him on this butt because he was sooooo defiant. I really didn't want to do it but I couldn't come up with any better idea. That was my last resort.  Now I have a guilty feeling all over me..... We gotta do something about this.

英語でつぶやき:ガス給湯器のその後・・・

Hello again. You might be wondering what happened to our hot water system. Sorry for not informing you sooner. Well, the new hot water system came on Thursday that week, which was 2 days later than the day we had been informed. Anyway it was delivered safe and sound so I was happy. As soon as Gori came back home from work, he started to work on it. I wanted to go to town while he was fitting the system, but the procedures were pretty interesting to see so I decided to stay. It took him about 2 and a half hours to get it done. I was very chuffed when he finished and turned on the hot water!! It was amazing!! The hot water came out of the tap in no time!! With the old one, I had to wait at least for a minute or so until I got hot water, but now we get hot water almost straight away!! Now we can save a lot of water too! I am soooooo happy with this new one!! I hope this thing works for a looooong time!!

英語でつぶやき(長文w):ネット世界ってフェイクなの?(8/8)

Hello there. It's been a long time since I made the last post. I had been too busy to get around to making new ones.

Well, the issue I mentioned before, which had been bothering me for a long time, has finally been sorted out. It has taken a load off my mind so I feel much better. Now I am able to focus on things I really want to do without any emotional disturbance. There are a lot of things to do, for example, exercising to become fitter so that I can go bike riding with Gori chan and finishing up with my English learning methods which taking too much time.

There was one time when I contemplated my life so far very seriously, especially my involvement with the Internet world. I thought I was being involved with the Internet world too much by blogging, tweeting and online English activities and so on, and I found that unhealthy. I felt that I was not living a real life in the real world so I should get out more so that I will be more active in the real world. But having said that, I also had a feeling ...or more like a truth that I have met a lot of nice people online and now some of them are good friends of mine. We share our passions, happiness, and problems. Even though I met them online, in the Internet world, they are now very important to me and have become a part of my life. I am so grateful to be able to build such a strong relationship with them. Yeah, they are my real friends.

The online world seems like a fake world but we shouldn't forget that behind the computer screen, there are humans there, humans, like you and me are the ones who are in the online world, just like the real world. Some are nice and others are evil, and that's a fact of life wherever you go. You just have to deal with them one by one with your own principle. You can't go without the Internet in this modern age. Well I don't think I can! The important thing to keep in mind is how you strike the balance between the real world and the online world and putting both worlds into perspective and that's my next challenge.
