Vice versa...


昔、不器用な私に、ある人が言った言葉。


周りにいる全ての人に好かれる必要はない、
You don't need to be loved by everyone around you,

その全ての人を好きになる必要もない。
Also you don't need to love everyone around you.




でも私は、私が好きな人達には同じ様に私を好きでいてもらいたいと思う。
But I want to be loved by people who I love.

わがままな願い。。。。なのかな?
Am I selfish?

だから、その人達を一生懸命、好きでいようと思う。
So, I always love them as much as I can and................vice versa, I hope.


今、傷ついている友達がいる。。。 これ伝わるといいな。。。

Let's take a walk - sanpo ni ikou

The bright sunlight from the window woke me up this morning, it was around 7:50am. So I went to the living room and looked out of the window. Yes! The sun was showing his face finally :)) I was Just happy, the sun just made me happy in the early morning. It was just simple thing but it was really meaningful for me.

So, I was thinking for a while.... what I could do today..... except for filling out my workbook. Maybe....... I can take a walk to the beach...

I & Ania were planning to go for a cup of coffee this afternoon (that's what we usually do on weekends), so I just waited for her coming back from her work and we went for a walk to the beach with a nice cup of coffee and nice chat with her.

There is a small island at the Balmoral Beach, it's called Rocky Point Island, it's very nice spot where you can see the North Head in front of you. We sat on the rock and chatted and chatted and..... chatted.

It was not special event but...... it was still special for me.

After coming back home, Ania went to swimming pool (she is very tough!!) and I just read the book on the sofa at home (I was just very lazy...).

And... we had guests tonight, Ania's brother and his wife, Peter & Julia. They just came over our place for dinner. It was surprise visit but Ania cooked Polish food very quickly and luckily....I didn't need to do anything 'cause...... I backed cheese cake yesterday for..... no special reason.... but it could be nice desert for them today. I was lucky :)

It was nice & eventful day, actually.

That's kinda.... The early bird catches the worm :)) Maybe!

4月の雨... shigatsu no ame..


雨がずっと降り続いている。雨はどこか寂しさや孤独感も一緒に運んできてしまった様な気がする。
It has been raining since last week. it seems that the rain brought me sorrow and loneliness together.

でも、止まない雨はないから、、、と友達が言ってくれた。
But my friend said to me... there is no rain that never stop.

だから、雨が止むまでゆっくり雨宿りしてみようと思う。
So... I'm going to take shelter from the rain for a while till it stops...

Life is....

There are two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is miracle.
The other is as though everything is miracle.
-Albert Einstein -



After 2 weeks school holidays, I started school from this Monday. And I've got 2 assignments for 2 weeks subject which is about...... Support Children's rights and Safety within duty of care. Actually this subject is a little bit heavy........ 'cause it's about child abuse...

One assignment is written assignment, the other one is....... group presentation again. But I got great partners, Klaudia & Tomomi.


Today, Barbara gave us time to prepare for the presentation due on next Thursday so that I and Klaudia (Tomomi was absent!!) started researching about our presentation 'domestic violence' on the Internet.

When we were searching web sites one after another, we came across one quote with my favourite picture which was written by Albert Einstein.

It's the above.


"Miracle"
- a lucky thing that happens that you didn't expect or think was possible.

I like the word, "Miracle".

And..... my favourite perfume is called "Miracle" :-)))

The 1st Anniversary

丁度1年前の今日、2007年4月16日、今通ってるカレッジが始まった日、そしてAniaと初めて出逢った日でもあります。
It is exactly 1 year ago, 16th April 2007, that I started my school and I met Ania for the first time at school.

あれから1年、まさに光陰矢の如し・・・・・
One year have passed since then, just like "Time flies........"

もともと1年で帰国予定だった私のシドニー生活ももうすぐ2年になろうとしてます。
I was supposed to go back to Japan after my stay here for 1 year but it's almost 2 years in May.

シドニーでの私の生活は日本の生活、もちろんトロントでの生活とも全然違ったものになっていて、2年目になろうとしている今、ようやく地に足をつけて一歩一歩、前に進んでる気がしています。かなりスローペースですが・・・・ いつもの事なので。。。。マイペース、マイペース。
My life here is totally different from that in Japan, also that in Toronto but I feel that now I can take a step forward after 2 years staying here...... Actually it's very very slow pace though.... anyway I'm always slow to realize what I..... have to do....... so that it is ok for me. Just keep my pace.

それから、私のここでの生活はもう少し長くなりそうです。
And..... My stay here is going to be a little bit longer.

Home

It's too far. I've never felt that before.

I'm too far from them and everything.
There is nothing I can do as long as I'm here.



Only I can do now is....

Just hope everything will be alright.

New Born Babies

After Easter, we've got some chick eggs in my childcare centre. It is wonderful experience that children will learn how chicks form and hatch from eggs, also they will long remenber!

There were 3 eggs left in incubator today. One hatched last Friday, then 2 eggs stated hatching, breaking thier shells today!!

I took children to the perschool room where the incubator and cage for new born chicks were placed, they were so excited, their eyes were glued to baby chiks!! So I took one chick from the cage and let children touch it. Baby chick was very FLUFFY!!!










Actually I've never had a chance to see a chick hatch.
It is good experience to me as well :)
