Japanese Lesson -1, Greetings! (Morning)

2010-08-17T00:02:00.000-07:00

SweetWhisper and I actually kinda speak Japanese. Surprise?

So I thought I maybe able to open up my own Japanese class here in my blog!

SweetWhisper can speak Korean too. So I hope she opens up her Korean class as well some day!?

Today's lesson is GREETINGS!

You may already know some greetings in Japanese.

So today's lesson could be a bit boring for you But hope you can learn something new!

Let's see from Morning...

You get up..... going downstairs.... aaaaagh.... Nemui... (sleepy)

You see your okaa-san (mom).... well, what will you say?

"Ohayo!" (Good morning)

Okaa-san just made you a pancake... mmmmm smells good!

Of course you gotta pour some Canadian maple syrup on it!

Pancake without maple syrup is like humbergers without buns! or, hotdogs without ketchup!! or, bubble tea without pearls!! o that's enough? okay okay.... lets move on...

go back to the pancake.

Your Okaa-san says... "Here is your pancake!"

What will you say?

"Aligato" (Thank you)

Yes! I knew you knew it!

Okaa-san says ''Dou itashimashite!'' (You are welcome)

Now you start eating.... oh! hold on! you forgot something!

In Japan, people say ''Itadakimasu!'' when they start eating. To show appreciation to a cook.

Hmmmm it was yummy! What will you say before you leave the table?

"Gochisoo sama deshita!''

You don't have this expression in English but this also shows your appreciation and that you enjoyed the meal.

Kay... now you have to go to school.

When you leave home, you say ''Itte kimasu.'' which means I am going.

Okaa-san says ''Itte lasshai!'' (expression used when u see someone off)

(one thing I have to say is... I use L instead of R as Japanese do not use R sound. They usually say L. I don't understand why most of text books use R though...)

Now you arrived at the school.

O is that your teacher who is walking toward you? Lets greet!

(LOL you are not gonna greet? well this is just an example you know!)

''Ohayo gozaimasu!''(Good morning)

Did you notice this is a bit different from the one you said to your mom?

''Gozaimasu'' - shows respect. This is a formal way of saying good morning.

Well Let's learn more greetings in Lesson 2!

Hope to see you in the class again!

Matane! (see you again.)

Don't you just love bling bling?

2010-08-07T00:30:00.000-07:00

One thing I like in the morning is to decide which accessory I wear for the day.

I loooove accessories. If I happen to forget to wear jewelry, I feel like I'm naked all day!!! haha

That usually happens when I do the dishes in the morning just before I leave home! I forget to put them back u know! have u ever experienced that too?

This is one of my favorite rings! The jewels shines so pretty!

"Don't you just love bling bling?''

Actually many people including strangers commended this ring, like on the bus, at a cafe.. even at Tim Hortons! LOL

I purchased this about 2 years ago at ALDO which is one of my favorite accessory stores.

I do not go there often though, too much temptations!!
So I'm trying not put myself in the situation!

Do you like silver accessories better than gold?

I love both! so hard to decide. Some days I feel like wearing gold... other days silver.

The sad thing about this ring is that the color is changing now... I would love to purchase the same ring but they don't make it anymore... But I still treasure it.

I will introduce my other accessories and other favs to you guys.

Also SweetWhisper and I will do some hauls too!

Actually, I think our first haul is coming up pretty soon!

We are going shopping this weekend to the States.

We will definitely blog about our shopping trip!

Hope we can find something that we can treasure for a long time... like my ring.

Thank you for visiting and Thank you for reading!

Sunday.... August 1, 2010

Hello everybody! =)

This will be our first post! The idea of this blog all started during a sleepover party.

High on chips, diet soda, and not to mention...sleep deprived,

we thought that the creation of this blog would be an awesome way to keep in touch with each other.

We were also inspired by the many make-up gurus on Youtube and thought it would be fun to share our own beauty secrets with you!

Feel free to leave comments or questions if you have any!

Thanks for visiting Sweet as Jasmine.
