Lost or 'stolen'! (Apr 25, 2012)
2 weeks ago (15th April-16th April), it happened.
One local Japanese reggae (almost amateur though they released their own CDs) group who are early 30s and we coincidentally got to know via my tweet follower would sprit out, and it was the last gig on 15th.

On that day, I woke up too early (4 am) and went to tennis practice with tennis 'circle/not a club' members and practised from 7-9, then I watched the local tennis tournament that my friends played... then went back home late afternoon. I was so sleepy, but I had my own tennis lesson at night starting from 19.00 (to 20.30)
then guys sent me soooo warm msg saying ''pleeeaaase come to our last gig'. As I was a bit awake after tennis lesson, I decided to go to the centre of Osaka (southern part) at night after tennis lesson, and I stayed the live house and danced, chatted.... until early in the next morning.

And I took a train (5.33) bounding for 'K' Station' one stop before my place... As you can easily imagine, I was too sleepy to wake up in the train, so I fall asleep .... when I woke up I realised that was the station I had to get off. I put my bag containing purse, iPhone... on my shoulder, so it was okay, but as soon as the train door was closed I found that I left my TENNIS BAG that had all my tennis items... 2 tennis racquets, my fav tennis wears, tennis shoes and one English novel , and previous iPhone that I used as iPod to watch some videos and a small bag (back skin one though the zipper was broken. for some medication I need, some cream for muscle...!) OMG . I dashed to the station office and told that I forgot my tennis bag. the staff called the station to ask if there was a tennis bag left in the train... Believe you me, it was only one stop and there was a few (1 or 2) passengers in the compartment. Then, the station staff told me that there WASN'T ANY LEFT in the train... aarrgggghhhh! So, I dropped into the police station and reported my left bag to them.... But I haven't got any reply yet.
Me and my friends are quite sure that my bag was stolen in the train.. whithin a few minutes. Unbelievable.

Hiya all
After looooooooong rest at home without popping into here,
I've come back to hootoo

Hoping all my folks remember me and leave your message

Mentally, I've been still in uneasy condition, unstable, and...
I MISS ENGLAND SO MUCH

I wonder if I could go back to UK to see.. grrrr
I am about to forget how to express myself in English, too

Well, I'll come here time to time, so pls keep in touch.

My country, is really helpless . Nothing has recovered from the disaster we had last year.

Please cross all your fingers for me to come here again

feel ...! Taamyu (Sep 16, 2011)
It's been awful long time since I popped into here...

Hope all of you, my folks here, are well

I've had heavy 'hysterical fit' at the end of August. It was too tough to recover.
It is really hard, by body are arched backwards (like a bow), so that I can't breathe well as my chin also leans backwards and it happens whenever I'm alone at night. Then, it also takes over 3 hours or so to recover from exhaustion after I can breathe. It was the ... first time to have this symptom this year
Too hard to regain my energy than I train tennis: dash, footwork exercise that younger housewives say they are really tired with only three or four times side step and hit the I started to play tennis at a tennis school to regain my lost physically energies but ppl say that I'm the most tougher female student in the school except for junior players.

But, because I can not rally and haven't got any rally/tennis mates, it's boring, now. If I take the intermediate classes, they never have any shot lesson and just do the doubles strategies.

Well, well, I will tell you, I haven't got any trustworthy friend HERE.
I wonder if I really escaped Japan and could settle down in Europe even the life there is also hard for me. Mentally, much much better for me to be there.


well well, as I told you in my ex-journal, I updated my Japanese blog site time to time.
mostly I write both in English and Japanese. So, please pop into there.
you can leave the comment freely.
You'll see paddintonn bear below each blog, and there are 3 places that you can press.
press the middle one, that means 'leave comment' then you'll see the same place. and press again, then you'll see message box. title, your comment, type recognise letter, then your nickname.
Hope you'll enjoy some of my awful English

Too Hot and Sticky to survive here (Taamyu) (Jul 6, 2011)
Hiya

Again it's been looong time since I popped into here

How are you folks? Hope all are fine

As for me, Physically look well.. mentally.. who knows. I'm unstable condition time to time but I am okay.

I had a chance to watch LIVE WIMBLEDON this year. and I was so excited with most of all matches I watched And also found that British audience was more excited with the newly hoping English tennis player (boy) Liam Broady, aged 17 of Stockfort. Court 1 was occupied at the boys' singles final until ladies final started. lol

*********************************
I'm watching live news on hacking phone on BBC news.. we can't phone and speak about our private topic anymore

******************************************
It's been sticky and hot though it's cool tonight because of rainfall. But I'm sure it'll be very hot after rain. I HATE JAPANESE SUMMER! boo

*******************************
I have got a question: Why ppl still call Duchess of Cambridge as Kate MIDDLETON???
Does her family name change even after marriage??? it's a mystery to me

***************************
In some reasons, as I told you last time, I have had unwillingly Japanese blog site... but recently I upgraded my blogs in ENGLISH (I'll try to write in English or other languages instead of Japanese (I sometimes use Japanese, though))... And I have changed my setting for leaving comment that all can leave your/their comment even you/they are not the member of the Japanese blog site , so if you're interested in reading mine, please bookmark it (though I rarely updated my blog. I wrote more than usual because of Wimbledon 2011 )
I will write 2 more topics sooner or later.
the address is : http://ameblo.jp/peekaboobopeep/
And you may see the 'comment' in Japanese which is under the footprints of Paddington Bear (middle one) click it then you'll see 'comment box' white box and click the place the lower place which was made circle then another window appear : and you'll see title box, then comment box
After leave your comment put the number in the box that you see under the number. Then type your name (please write your name that let me who you are.. it's okay if I do know who leave the comment. you don't have to leave your real name of course

Because there are no comment on my blogs, so I openly show my blogs that may interest you more than Japanese. lol

If you can't please leave your message here

I really miss you all, but the sticky weather makes me lazy and lazy. If I am interested in tennis, watching and playing, I am sure I never updated my blogs there

***********************************
I do hope all are fine and remember me....!

Please take care and Have a lovely evening.

Chat soon

Love,

Really unpleasant, pestered woman..! (May 2, 2011)
I've been in a 'trouble' with a Japanese woman who goes to the same tennis school with me, though she is different level from mine, so we rarely meet up... but we keep (it's miracle to me... lol) exchanging text.

Recently... She pestered me with never-ending unpleasant text message.
It'll be awful long time to tell you the whole story, but she sneaked on the tennis coach (her regular coach, but not mind) Actually that was the matter between me and the coach. I just told her about what he said to me.. then... I told her 'why you said to him? it's none of your business'
Then, she said that the phrase 'none of your business' was really catty word, but I think in the western community, it's normal phrase. If they do too much, we can say mind your own business, it's none of your business...
Also, she pointed out my mistyping and grammatical mistakes (tense) but I didn't notice that because I haven't got any problem to communicate with you here.

I don't know how much she can speak English, but I guess she's less opportunities to contact English speakers, so that her way of thinking is of japanese. she can't turn the way of thinking into western way of thinking. That's why she felt bad when she heard 'it's none of your business'

The thing is that it seems that she wants to be priory to me. I never heard her spoken English as well as her written English...
Never mind. Just I feel really unpleasant and I'm losing my confidence on my English

I should have to study English more and more... but I am sure I'll try to ignore her

Biggest Second Attack (Apr 8, 2011)
Hiya

We had the biggest second attack of quake last night in the East-North area

Fortunately, it didn't affect my area (Osaka, South part of Japan) , so I'm okay, too
Many ppl there will fear with shaking earth every single day and they may be exhausted with their unstable lives.

Hope there won't be any serious damages nor victims anymore.

Too sad (Apr 4, 2011)
Last Sunday, early in the morning, on the Mother Day (Japan Time),
My best friend passed away
She was 99 old lady, but she is the only one whom I can say my JAPANESE BEST FRIEND.
She was so intelligent, charming and independent lady.
She kept attending university lecture spoken in English by an English professor over for 15 years. Until she broke her lower hip, she rarely wasn't absent. Then after that, because of her age, she couldn't be the regular external student, but me and she were welcomed by the professor as the guest students. So, we went to the university together with.
We intended to attend the new term starting next week. But it became impossible.
She had encouraged me for ages since we met for the first time.
She experienced 2 big quakes, one in Tokyo in 1923, in Osaka(our area, Hanshin disaster) in 1995. One big WAR (WW2) in Tokyo, so many typhoons. She was teenager(maybe 9 or 10) when Tutankhamun's nearly intact tomb was discovered by H. Carter and G. Herbert in 1922 She said she read the news by newspaper!
She had over 9 great grand children. as for grand children.. don't know. wonderful sons and daughter. loved natures, history, tennis (she played tennis when she was young...! that was also amazing because it wasn't popular sport in Japan in those time)

She leant English when she was teens, and she read lots of English books imported from US or UK that was really rare in those days. One of her favourite book is 'the Secret Gardeb; by Bernette. we read it(English version, of course) again last summer together with. She loved not only English books, but also Japanese books. She was deep thinker.
I just post this journal for me not to forget her though she is alive in my mind and can remember all the time. But I am so shocked with the great loss that I can't be calm and stop doing anything, otherwise I keep crying out

After my gran left, I never thought I would attend funeral again in my life.
I'll see her to say thank you tomorrow and the day after for the funeral

She lives in my mind forever

Radiation, escape or not, harmful word (Mar 26, 2011)
Japanese gov keep saying 'at the moment' the dose of radiation is harmless for the ppl's health. 'at the moment'==>so it will effect ppl's health sooner or later in a future.
And only they will try to do is not people near the nuclear plants to worry from the influences by the radiation, they never say how dangerous it is to the people's health whereas the most overseas medias already reported the truth.

The victims of the quake and tsunami are having tough time, but people forget that animals/wild animals are always victims by the disaster, but no-one care.
Not only animals, but also the minority (ppl whose way of thinking is different from majority like me) are kicked out from the society. Typical Japanese.
*****************************************************

Now, I still have had language problems can't type Japanese... really inconvenient for me to live here. and except for doctor/medical staff, (I do understand) can not understand my situation.

A person (to tell the truth, this time I caused a trouble, so I didn't say anything.. but) said to me on a phone, 'Thinking of your age, and it's taken tooooooooooooo longer time since you got ill, and still haven't recovered, you've lived in vain. There is nothing left behind your life',, this made more and more depressed, as I'm disparate with my life already...
This caused that I get more and more 'to refuse using Japanese' Really annoying if ppl who have mean thought say to me such a careless thing.

*********************************
Luckily, as there is on the Spring holidays for kids now, I have had more chance to play tennis with my youngest friend who is good at tennis and I can forget all gloomy things, even it's temporary, it's necessary for me to forget about it and smash the stressful words out by my racket

In Osaka, it's a lovely day today, the sun is shining, bit windy though.
The view from my flat window is beautiful. That's also Japan.

I wonder if I were in Howarth. Wanted to hoop around the Bronte path so much

Taamyu from Osaka, Japan (Mar 16, 2011)
Hiya

Just a few words to you, my friends.
Thank you for contacting me with warm message.
You may hear more news about Japan than usual.
It's true, there are many victims and people are having tough time in where Earthquake, tsunami attacked and power station have had damaged.

But Osaka is far from those area (Tokyo is closer than Osaka, if you see map of Japan, you'll see it easily), people in Osaka are SAFE, so AM I.
All we are trying to do is to save electricity, and try to live our life as normal life so that 'finance problem' won't get worse.

As I told you, I have had Japanese problem and it's more serious for me to live here in Japan.
I don't know when I can retype Japanese. Maybe I can trust people around me and I feel safe, then I may be able to get over.

Because sooooooooooooo many information is on media, I can't find which is reliable or not true... Sometimes, overseas medias report much more useful for me to get latest information... Some media still repeated the moment of the FIRST TSUNAMI attacked the area which was happened LAST WEEK. I, and people here need the latest news and our local news, because we don't get any local news, that's also serious problem cos we don't know if there will be kidnapping, murders...... in our area.

Anyway, Thank you so much for thinking of our country and of me

Cool at night in Osaka! (Aug 21, 2009)
Hi folks,
Because I am really weak with sticky hot weather of Japan, I am glooming, groveling... every single day.
BUT...! I am really happy to say to you that it isn't so hot at night and less sticky than last year. Of course, because of my age, it gets tough to survive even less sweltering weather with Japanese summer heat.
There were serious disasters in Japan, but luckily, we haven't got any damages by the heavy rain, earthquakes and typhoon No landslides nor wahsouts nor victims in Osaka.
This is really more comfortable than usual... I mean, we havn't had not the Japanese terrible sticky heat so much... I can be alive especially at night

Frog-sounded voice (Apr 23, 2008)
I had sore throat this Monday evening after 'fighting with chicks in English'
Because I have got very weak at mucus membrane and and I've got allergy for dusty dirty air... as well as many surroundings incl. pollen, nylon fabric, blabh blah blah....
This time, my throat is really sore and It sounded like a frog voice yesterday. Then after finishing 2 classes my voice is getting lower and weaker..... then I woke up, all I can pronounced is that voiceless sounds... or all I could do was to WISPER... Oh dear.
I had one more class today........ that is the naughtiest boys' class... then.... although they tried to listen to me more carefully than usual, they WERE RESTLESS AS USUAL
So, I had to speak... say 'voiced sounds' not whispering. otherwise they didn't find out which is p, d, b, t, m, n sound (starting sound of words) Oh my god. then now I have had sore throat again... no more frog voice, but voiceless whispering voice....
Luckily I'll have weeks off (English classes), I'll try to have quiet(silent ) life and try to have enough rest (as USUAL) I may enjoy watching English films (esp British films... at the mo, St. Trinian's!!! ), French films and Korean films at home when I wake up. lol.
I do hope this will help me to improve my languages.

Well In Japan, we'll have over one week holidays from next week (because we've got 3 or 4 national holidays consequently 29th April, 3rd, 4th and 5th of May So many people will enjoy holidays with going out.... SO, I won't go out... there may be very very crowd here and there and that makes my throat more worse

Anyway, I'm alive

Well, Folks, take care and have a lovely day
