Dairy - Full of Birthdays

November is a busy month full of birthdays.

My mother, brother, sister, a best friend, several classmates and ex-colleagues were all born in November!　　I must have a special connection with November to have so many friends and relatives born then.

I actually get nervous in November as I do not wish to forget any of those birthdays.　　Luckily, there are various ways to say Happy Birthday nowadays.
I made a phone call to my mom, posted a message on my brother's facebook wall, sent several e-mails to my ex-coworkers and had a free chat via a phone application with my best friend in New York right on her birthday.

Sometimes I do feel new technology is annoying as it changes too fast.　　However, I have to admit that my life now pretty much relies on those high-tech gadgets whether I like it or not.

Diary - School Day

I am a 40-year-old student and today is a school day.  I go to interpretation school after work every Monday, Thursday and Saturday.  After a whole day raining last Saturday, Tokyo turns suddenly cold.  I feel that today is the coldest day of Autumn this year.  Sitting in the office without a heater, both my feet and hands became ice-cold.

I want to finish today's work hours and go to school as soon as possible, because the school's heater makes it comfortable enough for me to take my coat off.  However, I did not finish my homework.  I may get cold feet if the teacher asks me to answer a question I didn't study at home.

Christmas Short Story

Here is a lovely Christmas story talking about a husband and wife give each other the most special Christmas gift of all.

Short Story: 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry
Recording: MP3.

小時候好像聼過這個故事。
窮光蛋的老公老婆各自賣掉自己最值錢的東西，一心想為對方準備一份最有價值的聖誕禮物~

這篇用字不難的英文，簡單卻清楚地描寫出主人翁夫婦為對方著想的心情。朗讀的低沈男聲也很有魅力。不知不覺地給它連聽了3次 (o^^o)

今天學的句子：
Do not make any mistake about me.
（不要誤會我。）
