Car licence
I don't know why but I choose to take manual transmission driver's license so I'm having hard time getting used to it... I started going driving school since January and I want to finish it until August so I can get ready to take you guys to beach in SUMMER!!☀️
Gempatsu-kun and nuclear boy
On our listening class we watched short videos about nuclear power plant. Both has exactly the same content and idea. However Japanese version seemed more easy to understand because the animation was simpler and idea of describing exposed radiation as "poo" was very familiar expression for Japanese kids. Compared to that, translated version was rather hard to hear since it was automated voice. Overall the video were criticized a lot but I thought it was not a big deal as it was mainly made for children, it didn't have to be complicated. However that doesn't mean they can share a false information, for example they said the stink will disappear within a week but radiation will remain for long time and still radiation concentration is high in Fukushima.
Monday
I am feeling dizzy now after five hours of reading... I have researched 375 words so far according to my dictionary, and I really have to work on my vocabulary
Genpatsu-kun and Nuclear Boy
I think the video was easy for children to understand that disaster had happended in Fukushima. However, it was kind of too simple. For example, I wanted more specific and technical information about what genpatsu is and why it is so dangerous for humans. That way, I think children who live far away from Fukushima would be able to recognize the reality and the hardships of Fukushima people.
I think it was appropriate to use "poop" as radio active materials for Japanese children because it is one of the easiest and most clear way to compare unwanted things. I also liked how the ending was encouraging and reminding us to thank the "doctors" who are working hard in the hazardous areas.
The English version was more realisticly animated than the Japanese version. The Japanese version was more like a non human character. The two videos were clear and easy to understand the issue in Japan. Non Japanese people may have felt a little bit uncomfortable or awkward about the cartoon "poop".

Walking
Today, I walked from Aogaku to Shibuya and then to NHK hall and then Yoyogi Kyougijou and then to Harajuku (mainly the Takeshita) and then back to Aogaku. I'm surprised with how much stamina I have... Lisa
Saturday & Sunday
This weekend passed so quickly!!
On Saturday, my friends and I had a picnic at Inokashira Park. How long had it been since I last played with water guns and swings?😂
Yesterday, I went to my favorite artist's event with Yuma💫 Very full day that time flew in a blink of an eye!
sunday
I met with my high school friend yesterday. We had bubble tea at a cafe and talked for like 3 hours straight. I guess it's the "girl thing" that guys don't understand hahaha.
brand new week!!
Hello guys🤗
It's a brand new week! Let's make it a good one☺️
(Spreading positivity to everyone lol)
I was terrified..
Yesterday, I went to an event with Hanae and there was a man who was holding a paper bag carefully using both hands. He was looking around constantly and not looking at the performing artist. He was even listening to music with his ear phones. I got really scared because his actions somehow reminded me of the bombing in Ari's concert. I know it's not good to judge people just from their appearances or actions but the photos I saw from the Manchester attack flashed back at me and I was terrified. It's so sad that the terrorists act affected me.
Monday
I just cannot believe it is already Monday! Weekend passed so quickly...so many things to do this week...
By the way I am going to Tohoku this coming weekend to have a fencing match with the people from Tohoku Gakuin! I can't wait to go to Sendai.

Genpatsu-Kun and Nuclear Boy Video
In our IE Listening class, we watched two versions of a video about the nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It explained the devastating situation that Japan was facing right after the Tohoku Earthquake. Making an animation character "Genpatsu-kun" and using examples such as stomache, doctors, and most importantly, poos, the video aimed to explain the situation to children, presumably elementary school students.
It may have been an effective way and a beneficial influence for children since it was easy to accept and understand the frame of the problem. In Japanese version, the narrator talked humorously and the pictures were colored more lightly, making it easier for children to accept the video. It was very informative and educaional, and it also told us to be thankful for the doctors' hard work. English version video had the same content yet it sounded more serious and devastating due to the robotic narrator and the dark, scary pictures. There were less criticism in Japan and a lot in foreign countries. This is probably because Japanese people have more torelance towards unchi than other countries. If I were a child, I would watch and use it to learn about the crisis our country is conforting. Some who criticized in Japan may be parents that think poos and farts are inappropriate and do not want their children to be badly influenced by the video.
Genpatsu-kun attempted to explain the impelling situation to children and reassure that it will be alright. However, more than six years have passed since the earthquake and our country is still working on nuclear power plant issues. It did inform the difference between Chernobyl disaster and Three Mile Island accident and told that Japan will be okay, but were still not okay. Envirnomentally, this video was not 100% true.
Overall, I think this video was an effecive way to present the frame of the issue to the children and let them want to know and learn more about it.

Friday
Good evening, everyone!
Hope you all had a great weekend.
On Friday, there was a graduation ceremony at a school I used to go to when I lived abroad.
I was planning to go but since I had classes on Friday, I wasn't able to book the plane ticket.
I still regret not being able to go. But the happy news is some of my friends there are visiting Japan for summer and I get to see them! I can't wait!!
Anyways, see you all on Tuesday :)

Genpatsu kun
Both Genpatsu Kun and Nuclear Boy were about exact same topic which was the nuclear power plant in Fukushima prefecture.
For Genpatsu Kun, the animation and the voice of a narrator were very comical, and I thought it was more for children. On the other hand, Nuclear Boy was in darker mood. The animation was scarier and the voice of a narrator sounded like a robot is talking.
Personally, I did not feel very comfortable watching the video because of poops and farts so I think that is why some people are opposed to this video. I am sure I enjoyed the video if I were a kid.

TELL LECTURE
Tell Lifeline is a free, anonymous and confidential English-language telephone counseling service offered throughout Japan.
In this lecture I notice how hardly I knew about Bullying.
Bullying is a distinctive pattern of harming and humiliating others, specifically those who are i someway smaller, weaker, younger, or in anyway more vulnerable than the bully.
☝The effect on Bullying on school.
・Develop an environment of fear and disrespect.
・Students experiencing difficulty in learning.
・Students disliking school, and never come to school.
☝Being Bullied and suicide risk.
・Depressive symptoms.
・Harming themselves.
・Higher rate of suicidal thoughts.
・Attempted suicide.
I myself was not bullied in my whole entire life but I had experienced being a bystander in third grade. When I was walking to go to the bathroom, I heard a big loud screaming noise from a small room next to the bathroom. Two girls were saying mean and cruel things to the vulnerable little girl. I knew I had to do something but I was too scared at that time. I thought maybe if I go out there and help her out, I might get bullied as well. So I left that situation as if I hadn't seen anything. I had never told about the situation to my teacher or my friends.
That vulnerable little girl eventually quit school. I had no words. From that moment, I came to hate myself for how selfish I was. I knew I could have put a stop to the situation by telling the teacher or put my full energy to step into that place and convince the bullyer to put a stop to it.
I consider Tell Lifeline very necessary for people being bullied. However, this tool will not clearly prevent the rate of bullying. In my personal view, training should be offered for all teachers to respond to the bullying. Teacher's job is not only to educate facts to students but also to observe each students and reinforce each potentials. teachers needs the ability to see the relationship of each students and see whether everyone is getting along with each other. If not, maybe the teacher can have a school life.

Nuclear boy and genpatsu-kun
Genpatsu -kun
I thought that it was a nice way to attract children's attention. Especially, the voice actor's voice and the animation were nice for kids to watch. Along with these factors, the colors used were also nice; many of the colors were in pastel.
Nuclear boy
The animation in this video was more violent and dark compared to the one in Japanese. For instance, the nuclear boy wore weird and wicked eye cover and the doctors had scary expressions. The background colors were also dark as well.
Both videos talked about the nuclear power plant accident in Fukushima. Since the creator thought this news would be hard for children to understand but is necessary for them to know, the creator referred this accident to human waste and gas that humans produce.
I cannot understand why some people criticized this video that it is inappropriate when the video was released because today, a kanji drill with 💩 is sold and it is one of the best selling books. Many parents are actually agreeing with the kanji drill because the kids are studying the kanjis with their own motive. Because of this reason, I cannot think that this video was inappropriate. Sometimes, a bit of humor and inappropriate expressions are necessary in order to attract people's attention.
However, I could not agree with some contents of the video because they are wrong. The video mentioned that nuclear power plant accident will recover in two days but I cannot think this is true. If it were to end in two days, why is the government still arguing with this accident? It does not mean that false informations can be released just because the target does not know anything. Every informations should be true.

Sorry I'm Late...! TELL LECTURE
I have never learned or ever thought about bullying further, so this lecture was interesting for me. Since I'm now in a new environment, I think it was a good opportunity for everyone. The lecturer, Ms.Naohara, who called her self "princess" and kept the lecture interesting, told us about ways people can get bullied and how we can all give a hand to each other. Now that we're all in college, we will be on the internet more than before. The lecture taught me that we should be careful with how to use the internet. Anyone can be bullied from there, and I thought it was important to once again think about the way we use the service.
waking up
I woke up at 5:30. since I cannot make it on time for the 1st period, today I tried to wake up much faster than I was supposed to.
Waking up early is very good!!
I could have time to practice lacrosse and got to school on 8.

Candies
I always think not to chew on candies,
so when I pop one in my mouth,
I'm trying to be careful
but mind gets carried away and I when realized,
I've chewed off my candy away.

laughable expression
So tonight I was having a discussion with four people outside the university, a teacher was there leading the discussion. We talked about freedom of expression and that was interesting. The teacher recommended a book called "The J Curve", I guess I should read it sometimes. So what funny was, one of the members interrupted two times when I was talking, at the second time I asked if he could let me finish my sentence first, and he look so shocked that he couldn't breath for a few seconds. 😱😱 his facial expression was really amusing. Sorry for been verbose, I'm so sleepy and I don't know what I'm talking about 😂
cleaning my room
My room is a mess right now that I can't even find the stuff I need...I always take a time lapse with my iPhone when I clean my room to see make my friends see how hard I worked lol

I hope this will make a change in my handwriting.💕💕💕💕💕
By the way, write me some comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rainy Season
Rainy season is coming.
I hope it rains a lot so we won't have water problems in the Summer, but I don't like when it rains hard. I kind of like the smell of wet asphalt after it rained.

Ink cartridges
I want Costco near my living place because cost is fill up the ink cartridges for printer. This not only is wallet friendly but is eco friendly as well. Companies should definitely start this program...
Need to change my habit
Many of you might have noticed already that I am the kind of person who leaves everything until the last minute. I want to change myself but I just can't...!
I'm also worried about sliding into the classroom just on time everyday. I should come a lot earlier but I just can't...!

TELL lecture
•over 60% of the callers to the TELL lifeline are Japanese even though TELL is an english speaking lifeline.
•survey done in 2013 by the Japanese government said that about 69 % of young people under the age of 24 were reporting that they were bullied and harassed.
•bullying is all around. it can be anyone.
•bullying can take many different forms, physical, verbal, emotional, social, direct, indirect, involves unwanted aggressive behavior toward an individual that involves power and balance.
•the internet is potentially forever.
•depression and anxiety can affect people our age.
•don't be a bystander, be an upstander..
someone who has the guts to speak out.
•empathy, engaging with others
•empathy helps to motivate bystanders to become up standers.
•show empathy by becoming better listeners.
listen actively. don’t prepare your respond.
invest your time.
In this lecture, the princess talked a little about cyber stalking and it reminded me of my friend who actually experienced cyber stalking which eventually led to real life stalking. She was posting her location on snapchat and Instagram story. We really have to be careful what we post, considering the fact about digital foot print and disclosure of personal information.

Rainy day🍬
I was planning to go to Shimokitazawa to take portrait of my friend but because of the sudden heavy rain in the afternoon it was cancelled so I took picture of raindrops in front of my house☔️
TELL lecture
The lecture was not really new to me but still it was very interesting with sentimental videos, information, and especially amazing presenters. I had chance to come up in the front of the class with several people and learn about "collaboration" by simple physical game.
When I used to go to international school, fortunately I haven't had any experiences of bullying, however my friend from another international school told me that she got in some kind of bullying. I think it is sometimes very hard to distinguish whether they are telling jokes or they are making fun of them and tries to bully. I thought everyone should be aware of bullying because each one of us can be bullies or be bullied.
It was good time to reconsider about bullying and double check of saving personal information on social networking services.

TELL Lecture
Though I've listened to this kind of lecture many times, it was a good chance to rethink about both bullying and cyber bullying.
When Ms.Naohara mentioned about by-standers, it recalled me of my experience regretting being a by-stander a few years ago. I want to keep on being careful and be able to find SOS from others.
I also realized the importance of active listening. I try to do so whenever I talk with someone, but it made me think that even if I can't advise them, it makes them feel a little better just by listening.
She said no human being deserves to be bullied. I completely agree with this, and I thought I should be careful not to be both a victim and an unconscious bullier too.

Bullying lecture
I thought that it is a very good idea to make a place where bullied non-Japanese speaking people could open up about their bullying. It was very shocking to know that anyone can be bullies and be bullied. I thought that bullying should be more concerned since many people die from bullying.
bullying
I already knew things about bullying and cyberbullying.
But, I didn't know that there was a place where we can talk about
it in English. I don't know if I'm going to use it, I think it's very
helpful for people who are really having trouble with bullying.

TELL lecture
The lecture that were discussed by TELL was not new to me. However it made me
rethink about bullying. I have not experience being bullied and bullying or having a friend that
came to me saying he or she is being bullied. With the lecture discussed by TELL
it gave me an idea on how to approach and deal with a friend that is being bullied.
Giving them courage and cheering them up is one thing, but showing empathy and letting
them know that they could open up to you is another.
I think that in todays generation, since most of elementary students have smartphones,
Educating them about bullying is certainly very important!

Bullying and Cyberbullying Lecture
The TELL lifeline and outreach service has been by our side since 1990, but this was the first time for me to know the existence. Although not many information in the lecture were new, it was still very interesting and beneficial for me.
The ways of bullying are changing. It used to be relatively visible, but nowadays it is difficult to find out because of verbal bullying and cyberbullying, which are usually unnoticeable just by a single glance.
Bullying can happen to anyone at any time, and the lecture made me reconsider that it is everybody's problem. During the talk, the speaker, Ms. Naohara, stated, "No human being deserves to be bullied." These are the words that vividly remain in my mind. I have never become a victim, a bully, or a bystander before, but if I were to come across bullying, I would introduce TELL to everyone or use it myself.
After listening to this talk, I set myself a goal to be an up-stander as well as an active listener. I would like to be an up-stander who can speak up for those in need. I also want to gain active listening skills so that I can understand and interact with people more deeply.
Overall, the TELL lecture was a very good opportunity for me to think a lot about bullying and what we can do to somehow decrease the number of people suffering from it.

Pronouncing
R is a sound that Japanese does not have,
so people in Japan often don't care if it sounded like L.
This morning, I saw this cm that was written something like
"Morning Fresh Ham"
Well, that sounds nice.
But then, it started to sing like
"Flesh, flesh flesh~♪"
Well yeah, ham is flesh,
but I didn't feel like eating any meat this morning.

TELL lecture
Since I heard a similar lecture to TELL before, the lecture wasn't something new. Though, the lecture made me rethink about bullying and its side effects, mainly the victim's psychological effect(depression and anxiety), human relationship, health, and performance because these so affect the victim very deeply. And, I also agreed when thr lecturer(Ms. Naohara) mentioned that power harrasment is also a kind of bullying because some workers are carrying a headache at their workplace because of power harassment and some are mentally damaged on top of it.
I also liked how Ms. Naohara conveyed the lecture. For instance, she exemplified herself as "princess" and attracted many people's attention. This made the lecture not umboring.
It is hard to make world bully- free, but if others are able to notice some SOS of the victim, the victim might not have to end up committing suicide. So, in order to prevent from those cases, I thought that people should know more know about TELL program. And, if I know someone who is suffering with bullying and power harrasment, I would like to introducr this program. Of course, if I have a time when I struggle with human relationships, I would like to use this program as well. Lisa

TELL lecture (bullying)
The lecture is presented by director of TELL, Vickie Skorjv and the outreach coordinator Najwa Waheed Naohara.
TELL lifeline is a free telephone counseling service and it provides many languages.
Outreach program of TELL aims to increase awareness of mental issues by set up workshops for students and parents. It also receives questions from the public and search for the solution in TELL.
According to the statistic data showed by Ms. Naohara, there are 49% of people who aged under 24 have participated in bullying. It has been a serious problem in Japan since many teenagers have committed suicide because of physical and mental suffering. Buylling does not only exist behind the closed doors, a large proportion of them happens in open places where many people can see.
Nagative impact could influence both the victim and the bully, also the bystanders. There is a movie in 2016 called "koenokatachi ", which talked about the bully himself later became the victim of bullying, who became isolated and than suffered from regret and hatred for three years. Bullying also happens among children, sometimes the bully did not understand the harm that could cause by his or her action. Bystanders play an essential part in bullying. By showing support toward the victim or doubt the bully, the situation might have changed.
People who are suffering from bullying could be noticed by obvious patterns such as abnormal behaviors, bruise, or have depressive symptoms. It is hard to talk about oneself's suffering to another, so try to listen more carefully and understand their feelings are important.

Intro quiz
Today, I joined the circle's event. At the event, the group and I played intro quiz of music, shiritori(?), and mutual understanding game. I literally aced the intro quiz! Yay! But, I'm sooooo shocked that I couldn't answer my favorite artist's music. Gotta study(?) more! Lisa
TELL Lecture
We had a lecture given by two speakers, Vicki Skorji and Najwa Waheed Naohora. The lecture was mainly given by Najwa, but Vicki talked to us about the lifeline of TELL and the outreach programs. Najwa talked to us about what organization she works for, the kinds of bullying, the signs of bullying, who might be more vulnerable to bullying and how can we show empathy or be an active listener for the victim of the bully.
After hearing the lecture, I knew most of the things about what she told about the bullying and cyberbullying, but I now know that we should understand bullying and cyberbullying can happen to anyone. Also, we should teach and educate people young age that bullying and cyberbullying is not something that they should do and because of this, many young people commit suicide and lose their life at a very young age. The lecture was helpful in terms of knowing that there's a help for those who got bullied and if I happen to be in a situation like this, I would definitely love to use TELL as a source to find a solution to the problem of bullying or cyberbullying.
