study for BATIC

I haven't studied for BATIC these a cuple of weeks. I am about to give up to take that exam. However I changed my mind and start to prepare fot it.
I wish I could manage to keep studying until that day!

home visiting

My elder daughter's class teacher came over my house today. At beggning of school term, class teacher will visit his(her) student house in Japan.
I wonder what contries have similer ivent except Japan.
I'm going ask Greg if they have simililar system in New Zealand where he had born and grown up.

frea market

I took part in frea market today. I prefer to sell my belongings berore I just throw them away. Because they might useful for someone if I don' need them anylonger. That means things can live longer at different owner.
I coudn't meke so much money today, because I sold them in very low price.
However I enjoyed doing this with my friends and I could meet many acquaintance while I sitting there for selling.
So I'm sure it was big fun for me.

Alice in wonderland

I went out to see a movie with my daughers today. They were very looking forward to see that movie titled"Alice in wonderland" since it started advertisement.
It was a quite good movie than I expected and my children were so enjoyed. My elder dauther even bought novelized book about it.

After that we stopped by flea market near the station. We bought a lot of stuff in very cheap price. How wanderful!

better than nothing!

I haven't write this blog for a while. It's a bit difficult to keep going to write this regularly but I believe it's better than nothing even if I write once in a while.

I made chinese style egg pudding for dinner tonight. It's not set enough after I put out from steam pot. I suppose I add to much water into egg.
I'd like to make better one next time.

PTA

I was very depressed yesterday.Because I have to do as publicity at elementary school this year. I don't hate that kind activity normaly but the job at this school a very different from others.
They aim to get good award for PTA publication. So we have to make not normal one but excellent one!
I wish I could survive this whole year.

24

I have absorbed in wacthing DVD titled 24 which I borrowed my coworker.




It's so exciting I just can't stop!
That's why I couldn't write this blog for these a couple of weeks.
Now I quite satisfied to come to the end of that DVD.
The story is so excellent anyway.

What I expect for my boss?

I have been under strong stress in my workplace these days.
I don't have any bosses I can admire. It rather completely opposite way around there.
I don't expect much for my bosses, but just want them to make right decision and accurate instruction. They all luck endowment as a reader!

Banana chiffon cake

I baked banana chiffon cake after having dinner. I was wondering which type of cake should I beke chiffon type or better cake type.
my younger daughter insint chiffon type so I did.
I edded a little caramel powder, I can't wait I taste it!

I'll upload photo tommorow because I don't have enough time this evening.
I have plenty of things I want to do everyday.

P.E.T.

I start to read a book titled "Parent Effectiveness Training"



I've bought this book a several years ago but I had read just 1 or 2 pages at that time. I'd like to read it through this time!

My daughters meke handcraft with paper cray and felt.
It's a happy morment to make something with them.

BATIC textbook

I got a textbook for BATIC from Amazon. I wii restart to study fot it from now on.
Whenever I get new books I feel fresh and get new energy!

I baked chocolate chiffon cake this evening for tommorrow.
Alghough I can buy a birthdaycake easily, I cannot buy this tasty baking smell.
It makes me happy that's a one reason I prefer to bake cake by myself.

flower in porch

I always let flower wither on porch. I's getting warm and spring has come, so I decide to put some flowers there. There are so much defference compere to there are no flower.
My younger daughter said she feels happy if she saw flowers on porch. I feel same way of course. I'd like to keep them alive somehow!

In afternoon my daughters and I went out shopping. We bought several things for new shool year and had icecream at 31-icecream shop.

I enjoyed to shop with them a lot.

TOEIC

I attend English lesson today. I told my teacher that I would take TOEIC last sunday, so he asked about that.
He didn't konw what kind test it is, so I tried to explain, but it's difficult than I thought.
I even don't remember what's that capitalize miening of TOEIC. What a ashame!
I just checked now and found out that is Test of English for International Communication.

I also couldn't explain detail of that test.
I doubt I really passed pre-first grade eiken・・・。

I will tryed to explain about that here.

There are two part of test in TOEIC. First one is Listening test and it last 45min.
In listening part, there are four parts and we must mark our answer on the separate answer sheet.
In fiest part, we will hear four statements about a picture in our textbook. When we hear the statements, we must select the one statement the best discribes what we see in the picture.

And this diary will keep going tommorow.

catalog shopping

I recived a couple of items I ordered on Internet. There are some catalogs in that box as well. It's a little annoying I got a lot of them whenever I ordered because I have to find some space to keep them.
So I decide to tear off those pages and I only keep I really need.
It became compact and left only what I wish to have.

While I read a book " FOOD RULES" I found interesting description such as "Eating what stands on one leg[mushrooms and plant foods]is better than eating what stands on two legs[fowl], which is better than eating what stands on four legs[cows.pigs, and other mammals."
It's very new idea to me.

FOOD RULES

I start to read "FOOD RULES"
It's first time to read this kind of book in English even though I'm interesting this field.
There are a lot of uniqe way of thinking about food in this book.
For example,"Shop the peripheries of the supermarket and stay out the middle."
"If it came from a plant, eat it; if it was made in a plant, don't."

It is also easy to read because there are many pictures and plenty of space!

tuesdays with Morrie

I finished to read a book "tuesday with Morrie"
I've read this book a cuple of years ago in Japanese, so it helps me to understand what this book want to tell even if I completely understand words in English.
I wish I would have coach like him.
There are a lot of saying in this book. For instance, "there is no such thing as ""too late"" in life."
I'd like to keep callenge untill my life end.

Anyway I'm so glad to read through this book, because I always give up to do it on the way.

I start to read nextbook. It seem to interesting.

Titanic

I didn't feel go out anywhere today because it's so cold outside and I need a rest.
After Nene back to home from concert, we wacthed DVD "The Titanic". I wacthed it about ten years ago at movie theater, but my children dind't know that story even if that famous.
I didn't remember the detail so I enjoyed as if it was my first.

Thanks to that movie I feel refresh now.
Tomorrow is a whole new day.

Stress

I'm under strong stress while I work. I wonder what can I control my feeling.
I don't want to be involved that stupid man's behavior. The best thing is to keep a distance from him.
I'm not expect too much for my workplace. I just keeping my job for making money.
I have a lot of things beside of job, so I'll enjoy my life separate from my job.

I took English lesson in charch tonight. Whenever I join lesson I feel I need more practice to speak English.

Mao got a silver medal today. The color might be defferent frome she expect. However it is very precious to get medal and her peformance gave us big power.
Not only her but also other two Japanese women.
Kim was very strong anyway.

Amazon

I got three books I've ordered to Amazon a couple days ago.
It's very convinient to buy on web theseday.


These two books seem interesting. I'm lack of this kind knowledge, so I'll study with these books.
In one of this book, it said "Let's enjoy the process."
Of course I will!

New recipe

I tried to make new recipe this cuple of day. As the title this blog, I'd like to do something new something different everyday and making new recipe is good way to achive my wish.
However cooking meal everyday is troblesome, making something tasty is a fun and interesting. Because the result isn't always same if I use same ingredent.
I think it's very creative work. I'd like to enjoy to do it.

Almond Chuiru

In morning, I went otolaryngolory. The season of hay fever just began.

In afternoon,while I clean up food storage I found a pack of Almond slice getting old.
So I looked for the recipe with Almond and decided to make Amond Cuiru.
Usually we use egg white as one of ingredient, but hat recipe said whole egg.
Although I followed the recipe this time,I'm sure I use egg white next time!

Library

I took afternoon off today because I have to join the class event for elder daughter.
I played at a tug of war but we lose very easily.

After finishing that event, I stopped by library to borrow a couple of books.
I'm happy there is a library close to my flat.
Reading book is good way to make me refresh.

I baking cake for my elder daughter's birthday.She's going to be 12 tommorow.
My younger daughter got a idea for that desgin.
I wish we could decorate it cute.

To tell the truth, I wanted to join gospel class tonight, but my family event is more important for me now.

Reading & Writing skill

I add my graph about record of reading paperback.
Not only writing skill, I'd like improve reading skill.
Besides, I have a lot of books I've never read yet in my house.
Now I'm reading "tuesdays with Morrie"
It said about life like "Accept the past as past, without denying it or discarding it" "Learn to forgive yourself and to forgive others" "Don't assume that it's too late to get involved."
I enjoy reading this book.

Valentine sweats

I made valentine sweats tonight with my daughters.

room temperature

It' quite cold today. I don't put on air conditioner often even if winter time, but I turn on today. After a cuple of hours I realized it didn't work well.
I wondered the reason and I finally noticed someone set the temprature as 20℃.
It was my elder daughter. She worry about global warming so much and she tried to cut emit carbon dioxide, so she lowered it.
Although I insist 22℃, she said 21℃, then we have to discuss what temprature is better for us for about 5minites.
I'm sure she is a very thoughtful kid!

I made jelly today. I more enjoyed making sweats since I made this blog.

My father got sugery this afternoon.
The doctor drained water from his brain.
I hope he is going to be better condition.

snow

It was second time to snow where I live in this winter.
I usually go to my workplace by car and I got a troble due to that snow and cold today.
The parking place which our family car parked has third floor, our place is middle.
That operating boad was flozened this morning. When I make that pallet go down it moved without any ploblem, so I thought it will be all right.
But actually it was not OK at all.

I couldn't go down that pallet!
I did make emargency call for mentenance campany since she said I leave it it stayed upper then they'll take care of it.So I just leave it and drove to my workplace.

I didn't expect this sort of things happen･･.
