Bubble Tragedy - バブルの悲劇-

I love 80s music. During the time, everybody was dancing, singing and laughing without thinking of the future. Just laughing... that was good but such a life couldn't be lasted... And nobody expected what such modern situation happened to them. In 2010, many people who just laughed in 80s have been struggling from huge debts. During 80s, they must have learnt something .... but they didn't. Tomoe's student Amy's family are just like that... they got Bubble Tragedy. That's why her parents divorced and her mother started working as an assembly worker. Amy feels lonely. Also she got bully... That's sad... Tomoe discussed it with Amy's parents. They realised how they were selfish just thinking of themselves. Even though there were still some problems left, they started to pay more attention to their kid. Tomoe has another student whose family is also poor. But he is strong enough... just like a boy in 50s, 60s or early 70s. He studies very hard to try to help...

how to solve the problem

I started a new career, which I teach formal Japanese. I realised that Japanese languages are so beautiful if you speak it formally. My student is from India, who is passionate and enthusiastic to learn Japanese. I am sure this student will improve Japanese quickly. Anyway... now back to the story about Amy's bully. She got a bully from her classmate, who was mean but she was a teacher's pet. The teacher was also mean... Actually Amy's parents did not know the reality. So, Tomoe decided to tell the truth to them. And visit each parent, because they got divorced and did not live together. and Tomoe would get to know something new there.

About Bully

Have you got a bully when you were a child? To be honest, 'Yes.' I got it from teachers when I was in the first grade of both primary as well as Junior high schools. But I never told anyone about this at that time. On top of that, I accused of myself. I think children are like that... they don't know how to blame someone else. Tomoe suspected that Amy got a bully from someone... Maybe from her classmate? (to be continued) But today.. personally... I have to take a rest ... (tomorrow is the deadline for my tax!!) Good night!

Like a Monkey

Tomoe gave her a banana and an orange. Amy sighed, "Oh... that's it? But it's OK." But,as she was really hungry, she grabbed them from Tomoe and started eating. As if she was like a baby gorilla. "Oh, Amy, you can't eat peels... oh, no...!" Tomoe warned her. "Huh!?" Amy said... and both Tomoe and Amy burst laughing. "Oh, you are like a monkey!"(however, Tomoe didn't tell her that she was like a gorilla.) Tomoe just joked to her. "Oh..no.. no.." Amy was blushing. However, Tomoe felt that Amy was really cute with embarrassing on her face. "Oh, what is that?" Tomoe found Amy had a bruise on the arm. "Oh..no..nothing.." Amy reluctant to say to Tomoe. Tomoe is getting suspect...

Let's do exercises!

I helped one of my friends, who actually did not appreciate my support. (It is sad.) That's why I was a bit depressed for these days. So, I tried to encourage my self and went to the park. Tomoe takes her student Amy (now I made her name) to the park to do exercises. The sky is blue, the air is fresh. That is perfect condition for both Tomoe and Amy. "OK, let's walk!" First, Amy doesn't seem happy, but keep walking, she is getting happy. Because of "Sweets". Amy expects she would get them after walking.. so should Tomoe give her sweets? The answer is .... (to be continued...)

Life Style for Children

My students were doing English exercises. At that time, the classroom turned dead silent. I was bored. Putting my hands into the desk, I found papers about 'Life Style for Students'. I started reading it. It was written about kind of sickness for teen aged girls and boys. Obesity, (lung) cancer, smoking, taking drags, swine flu ... Tomoe's student is an obesity girl. She doesn't do exercises. However, her parents are divorced and they try covering affection from letting her eat or get whatever she wants. Junk food, fast food, toys... Moreover, they lift her anywhere, even though it takes for just one second. So, this kid is getting like a pig! But not only that, she is easily get sick as well... So she looks like a pig and got swine flu... What's a shame! ... Tomoe tries to fix her life style.
