How Do You Measure In Your Life?

How was your reading and discussion? And, what did you get from book?

It was really nice book for me and I was pretty excited.

By the way, I want you to watch one video which is music from famous musical. The reason I chose it that this song's lyrics is match it and I would like you to think about "How do you measure in your life."

Here you listen!

How was it? Did you hear "in cups of coffee?"
In my case, I want to measure in grass of beer. I think this book told me "What is the patient, kind, family, friends, trust, and love?" Usually, I don't think about that.
Please imagine. If you go to pub with my friends, are you doing to talk about love seriously? I don't think so, especially male.That's why this opportunity became a special experience for me. Because I couldn't understand that Greg and tara got married, I liked chapter eleven. Although that was rally crazy love story, they could trust each other. Moreover, they can recognize mutually.

The One Poem

I want you to read one poem before you read my opinion. Basically, it is written by Japanese, so I translated it by myself. That's why, perhaps I mistook to translate, but you can understand it probably.
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------【Keep a Dog】
If your child is born, keep a dog.When he is a baby, it will be a guard well.When he is a young child, it will be a partner to play with him well.When he is a boy, it will become a understanding person well.And when he grows big, it will die earlier.But it will teach him sadness of death and value of life by means of itself's death.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How was it? Do you like it or not? Do you agree with it or not?

Actually, I really agree with it. We usually can play with dogs even though you are child or adult.
I live in homestay. My host family has five dogs which are middle size. I often play, sleep, relax and rest with them, so I am able to cure fatigue. It is really nice point to keep dogs. Basically, I like to exercise, so I would like to walk with pets.
That's why dog is better for me.

Gender on the work

Are there gender discrimination in your country? My country actually have it, especially work. I am going to tell you one story.
When I cheered up one female who is student and was finding job in my country. She tried a entry for big company which pay very big salary; if you can enter this company, you can get one hundred southern dollar, even though you are second year.  However, I didn't recommend her to try it then actually. The reason is because I knew that this company get employees who are almost male. As a result, she failed. Of course, I'm not sure why she failed, but maybe you think it sounds  like gender discrimination. However, they have a reason that they get only male employees. The reason why, they sell industrial products which is very high quality to small factory. In my country, worker, work for small factory, are almost male, so if female salesman go to sell their items, unfortunately, most consumers cannot believe them than male salesman. That's way they don't get female employees. It is strange? Actually, I don't think so because they need to sell their own products.

Please imagine, when you visited lingeries store, there were a lot of male staff. Most people think it is weird. That's why most lingeries company get a lot of female worker. Of course, it depends on the company and depart, but most people don't think it is gender discrimination.
In conclusion, unfortunately there are gender discrimination in my country. However, it depends on the work. Some people are really good at it but some people are not. 
Moreover, gradually some work is going to be not relation on gender: a flight attendant, banker, nurse, houseworker, and so on.

Thank you for reading.

What Is the Most Important things for your life?

What is  the most important for your life?
I think some people say: family, money, favorite food, cell phone, animals, nature, business, bed, boyfriend or girlfriend, husband or wife, and so on. However, in my opinion, it is the most important to keep healthy. The reason is because if you are not good health, you cannot do anything. Even though you have a lot of money.
Actually, I learned that by my experience. When I lived in Japan, I worked hard everyday without going to school. I know it is not good. However, I didn't like to go to school then because I couldn't realize that my study is a benefit for my life.
That's why I might have money than other students, but I cannot play or hangout with my friends. Of course, I didn't have much time, but I had a more serious problem that I was not healthy then. I often used to work over 14 hours or sometimes I used to work over 2days. Probably, it is strange for other country people. That's why I was not good health and I cannot play, travel, play soccer, and so on. This experience taught me a very important thing. Now, I am really health, so I can play hard with my great friends.haha  I really appreciate them.

That's why being health is the most important.

How to Walk Sky?

Do you know Skywalk?

It is not skydiving.

It's that we wear special suit and attach one lifeline which is a narrow wire rope, then we walk around very high building.

Please, look at video.

It's so crazy, because if I lost my footing, I am certainly going to heaven.

However, it's so exerting, most people get used to walk there.

some people cannot walk and look down.

Of course, looking down is so scary, but if you can do that, you can see very very nice night view. It's so amazing.

Sky walk is that you can experience thrilling activity and see great view.That's why you should try that,if you want.

What Is the Safe?

"Japan is safe", my friend said that. He is from Philippine, study Japanese in my hometown. I ask him "why?" He answered and told me one story. One day, he lost his wallet, so he went to police office and tell policeman that. After that, policeman bring his wallet form back. Of course, he is surprised, so he told his friends that story next day. However, he was surprised again then because his friend just said "ah~ lucky you","even if a wallet drops it, we often get it back. haha" At that time, he think that Japan is safe.
How do you think this story? Is that unbelievable? Is that natural?

In Japan, we can walk downtown at midnight even if you were female. If you can go to Japan, you can see some girls walking downtown at late-night. That's why I think Japan is safer than Calgary. Actually, I cannot walk downtown in Calgary at midnight because I feel fear simply. This feeling is I never felt.
Of course, I don't recommend what you do like that. it is just a example.

However, actually, depends on the place that Japan is safe or unsafe. Almost place is safe in Japan, but Japan have bad place where there are a lot of bad people. Though we can walk safety in Japan, it is naturally not good for you to walk at late time.That is same in Calgary.

I think Calgary is safer than other place or country, but there are some bad person here. It can't be helped, because we are human being. I mean that we are human, so there are good people and bad people as far as we live. That's why it is important that we don't go dangerous place and we need choose the time.

I want to be David Beckham

If I can change my Identify, I want to David Beckham. I used to be soccer player when I was childhood.
He is really nice soccer player; His career is amazing. He used to play for Manchester United and his career is started in 1993. After that, he played for Real Madrid which is the biggest club then all over the world, so he have a lot of funs all over the world.
He looks very handsome so he have a lot of female funs. He has very famous wife; his wife is Victoria Beckham, who is a member of Spice Girl.
Moreover he makes many money, so has a really big mansion. Actually, his wife makes more big money.
He lives in LA now. Actually, I want to live in LA because weather is pretty nice.
If I can be  David Beckham, I can stay LA, play soccer with very famous soccer players as a professional, makes many money and be loved by a lot of funs.
But I think it is very stress for me if I were  David Beckham.

My Birthday in Banff

I went to Banff for snowboarding with my ESL student May 9th and 10th.Actually May 10th is my birthday, so I was really looking forward to going this activity.
It was a really fun and Banff is very beautiful, so I was impressed.
I never played snowboarding; it is first time. That's why I cannot enjoy it at the beginning, but I could enjoy tomorrow because of my friends. My friends lectured me how to play. Their lecture was easy to understand for me that's why I'm grateful.
And I want to tell you about Saturday night. We went to pub to drink. Then my friends give me a lot of bear, so I was drunk. Of course, I had a hangover next day. It is a my really nice memory.

Thank you for reading my blog.

Hi!!!Welcome to Masa's Blog.

I live in Calgary, Canada now because I study English in University of Calgary. I think Calgary is nice place for studying English. I live in homestay, Dal Housei. My host family is really kind; they take me someplace, make delicious dinner every night, go walking with dogs. My host family keep five dogs; the kind of dog is nova scotia duck tolling retriever which is basically for hunting duck. Sometime they participate dog show and they often win. They are really cute, so I often play with them and sleep with them.
