nihonggo

Learning a new language is one of the things i wanted to achieve. I got the chance to study another language when our company sponsored the Nihongo training. Only 14 staff were given the opportunity. We had our lectures 3 times a week for 2 hours a day. Our sensei came from one of the prestigious language school in the country. He lived in Japan for more than 10 years, with that, he was able to teach us not only the language itself but also Japanese cultures and traditions.

I enjoyed learning the language. It became very useful to me when i went to Japan for one week to attend the Kick-off Meeting for our new project. On day to day basis, my boss sometimes talked to me in Nihongo.

Let me share with you the basic greetings and few questions in Nihongo.

Good Morning - Ohayou Gozaimazu

Good Afternoon - Konnichiwa

Good Evening - Konbanwa

Sayonara - Goodbye

Oyasumi Nasai - Good night

Tadaima - Im back

Arigato Gozaimasu - Thank you very much.

Moo Ichido Itte Kudasai - Please say it again.

Kotaete Kusadai - Please answer.

O-genki desu ka. - How are you?

I'll be starting my Nihongo 2 this coming August. I hope that i could do well in it despite of my very busy schedule.

Till next time..live and let live!

sick leave

Monday is the busiest day for me. with lots of reports to make and meetings to attend to. but this day is different. i woke up at around half past five..readied myself for office and do the daily routine. i felt muscle cramps in my tummy. i tried to ignore it, and left home for office. on the middle trip to office, the pain got severe which left me no choice but go back home. so i just text the office that I'll have sick leave.

i slept the whole day and rest. i felt recharge..ready to take the sermon from my Japanese boss.

back to writing again

i started writing for a school paper at the age of 9, since then, i developed a passion for writing. its my way of expressing my true self...i can be me..without any pretension..it makes me feel lighter..happier...fulfilled.

often, i could easily construct poems and stories when I'm depressed..but on the contrary, my stories and poems reflect positive values and outlook in life.

from now on, come and visit my blog..let me share with you my passion for writing. be inspired by my stories. smile with me, cry with me, shout with me. lets live our lives to the fullest, go beyond our imaginations and explore every possibilities.

cheers, welcome to my world with just one click away.

live and let live!
