Twtterific!

Hi!
It's a beautiful day, and it's been that way from Monday! Very good because I can get my exercise. I'm a bit stiff from yesterday's Aikido practice already, hehe.
I've been using a communication system called "Twitter". I blogged about it last time that I've been using this a lot. Now I'm a big "twitterholic"! It's very fun, you can talk to your family or your friends at work, also talk to people around the world! It's simple, every post has to be under 140 letters. You can post anything, cooking, watching TV, eating, gaming, etc. Then, eventually, you will get followers that are also interested in cooking, eating, etc.! When you really want to talk about your hobbies, "Twitter" is the best!
Dad uses "Twitter"for his students to practice English, and Mom too! Some problems are that there are a lot of sales people, or spammers on it. That makes the twitter page slower, so most of the time it says that Twitter is over capacity.
I'm right now saving money to get a laptop. It will be very useful for my studies, and computer programing. There are a lot of good looking computers out. It's very hard to pick one! Also I have to look for one that I can afford .
That's all for today!
Hope this weather stays nice.
See ya!

Busy, Busy!!

Hi!
Wow, it's been two months since my last blog!
It's a nice and hot day. I just took a walk around the rice paddies; it was great!
We've been very busy. We are teaching Japanese to forign students. They come to Japan to work, but they still don't know how to speak Japanese. So we teach them simple Japanese, and words that you use at work. We do it 8 hours a day!! This was the first time to teach Japanese, and we had a good student to start with. Our student learned some Japanese at his school and then came to Japan, so it was very smooth teaching him. He was also very polite, he will get along with Japanese easily! Well, we next have a group coming, but it will be a month before that.
We are now playing with a new comunication system called "Twitter". It's very fun! We do it every day. It's like a blog but it's very short, 140 letters only. It's also popular in Japan! There's already a Japanese version out. If your interested, feel free to check it out!
That's all for today!
Hope it gets warmer.
See ya!

Weeeeeeee!

Hi!
It's very cloudy here and the rain is going off and on. It's a bit cold too.
We are having fun with this new game I bought for the 'Wii'. It's called "Mario kart wii". It's a racing game and it's very very FUN!! The picture at the top is the 'Wii wheel', the controller for the game, you can turn left and right just like your driving a real car. The graphics also are very good, and the programing. You can also race with your "Mii"( a character that looks just like you ), so it's like your really in the game! The coolest thing about this game is you can play with people all around the world! You can play with someone in America, Euroupe, Spain, France, etc.!! It's too bad you can't talk with them. Also playing with your family is very fun.
I started to learn Spanish. It's much easier than Arabic since the alphabet is just like English. A lot of the words in Spanish are similar to English, and some Arabic too! Even though I just started learning a week ago, I can understand some of the sentences.
That's all for today!
iHasta la vista!
(See ya!)

Money, money ,money...

Hi!
It's a rainy day here in Japan and it will rain worse tomorrow.
Today I learned about "Money as Debt" by watching a video on Google videos. Did you know most of the money in the world isn't real? In a ratio of 9:1 or more it is "made up" money that ends up in being debt. The banks do this to live off interest. Banks also make their own money from loans! Benjamin Franklin said that the revolutionary war was fought to escape from the European banks! It's very complicated, but one thing I got is debt is money; no debt no money!
I also learned about the "New challenges aggravating plight of hungry" from a news article written by Ban Ki Moon the United Nations secretary general. Food prices are soaring, so millions of the world's most vulnerable people are at risk. To solve this problem the leaders at the U.N. summit aim to reduce the proportion of hungry people by half by 2015. This is called the Millennium Development Goals. But, this is a very big challenge! The price of basic food staples, like wheat, corn, and rice, have increased up to 50% from the last 6 months! Also bio-fuels are reducing food for humans. It was all very interesting, it was in the Washington post on the internet. I hope they succeed.
That's all for today!

Computer Problems!!

Hi and long time no see! I haven't blogged since last year! So happy new year!
It's pretty cloudy and the weather person said it might rain a little. It also got warmer this week.
We had some computer problems with our mouse and monitor. First the mouse didn't click normally, so we got a wireless laser mouse. Very good, very smooth, you have to change the battery once a month or so, but it's worth it! The monitor was the big problem. When we turned it on we saw flat screen of our desktop, and some blinking sparks. We didn't know if it was the monitor or the computer. My Dad didn't want to have two working monitors with a broken computer! So we did some testing and finally knew it was the monitor. Then we bought a flat screen 17inch monitor. It is SUPER!!! We couldn't believe. It was like we got a new computer! Since the screen is wide we have more space on our desktop. Also, it's less space taking and light, and cheaper than our old monitor!
that's all for today!
See ya
