HI, ladies!!
How are you?
I hope Plum already came back safely. Are you all right…?
I feel long time has past since I wrote here before.
Because I was tackling my essay writing in the same way as all of you were, and that task absorbed all my energy. I managed to submit it to Plum yesterday, and felt relieved for a while even though much remains to be done.
Bev sensei gave me a lot of productive suggestions on my essay, which were often difficult for me. “Critical perspective” is so hard…
I sincerely hope you will finish your essay soon.
Well, see you next. Bye!

The meeting with...
HI, ladies!!
I was really disappointed by the news of resigning of the Ministry of Finances Nakagawa. He certainly hurt Japan’s pride in these hard economic crises, even though we had almost lost it. Now the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has stayed in Japan…Shameful, isn’t it? In addition, I was surprised by the meeting between President Obama and Prime Minister Aso scheduled on 24th this month. One who are rising straight up and the other who are just dying…What a sharp contrast. All we can do is laugh weakly at the moment.
But then we don’t have other candidates who have enough ability to become the leader of our country. I’m afraid of this situation. I hope a future leader like Kimu-taku.( He once acted a smart PM in a TV drama.)

The plum blossoms
Hi, ladies!!
There’s a big difference between today’s temperature and yesterday’s. Strong wind has made me shiver.
Recently the days have got longer day by day. Unusual warmth has the plum blossoms come out, which gave a sweet scent.
I have to go to meet my daughter.
See you soon, bye!

Correct usage of the articles
HI, ladies!!
Thank you for letting us know another self-test about the articles, Plum. After trying those tests, I found how many perfunctory work I have done until now. Each article has its correct usage, of course…I have to learn how to use the articles.
Yesterday my daughters tried to make some chocolates prior to Valentine day, not for boys but friends, and those are called tomochoko. It was so hard for us that we spent almost half the day, and I was very tired. I’m a poor cook…
So, see you tomorrow. Bye!

Five sources of definiteness
HI, ladies!!
Plum, thank you so much for letting us exercise the interesting self-test. I tried them but made seven mistakes. Answers and explanations seem to be very instructive, and I got so interested in the section on “five sources of definiteness”, which was written in answers, that I searched for it on the Net.
Article usage

I’d like to learn them one by one, if I have some free time in the near future.

The happy time
HI, ladies!!
Recently the weather in Nagoya has been warmer than usual, as if spring has already come. It is really comfortable for me, but there are fears for effects of the climate change, as Cosmos mentioned…
Plum, I’d like to get how to use the article correctly, but it’s always difficult.
Yesterday I could look back to the happy time for a while, because on TV I watched a come back concert played by “the police”, the noted rock band in the 80s. Favorite music has directly linked with one’s memories, hasn’t it? Beyond their 20 years’ interval, they have come back with gorgeous, matured appearance and powerful voice, which reminded me vividly of how things had been at the time. I enjoyed their evergreen songs.
So, see you next. Have a good weekend, Bye!

Mamemaki
Hi, ladies!!
Last night my daughters and I did a bean-throwing ceremony, mamemaki, as we do on setsubun day every year. They are always eager to do such a ceremony, and do an oni part in turns. I can recall a humorous day. Several years ago, elder daughter turned the light, put a mask on her face, and acted oni so seriously that her sister was completely terrified at the scene…funny, isn’t it? I wonder how many years do they have to enjoy these ceremonies.
I can feel a hint of spring day by day. I wish spring comes early.
See you next, Bye!

The first month has gone
HI, ladies!
Sunflower, I am, too, so sorry to hear your news about your grandson that I don’t know how to comfort you. I hope all treatment will help him grow healthier.
Rose, I feel sorry that your mother-in-law passed away. You must have been shocked by the sudden word. The parting of your dear mother is really wrenching…
The first month has already gone with the wind…Time flies too fast. I’d like to finish my essay and send it to Azalea and Alice as soon as possible, but I’m still in the middle of writing.
So, see you later, Bye!
