Day 10: Learn Japanese Word

I love <3 anything Japanese, their food, culture, people. I've never been to Japan but I will visit one day soon. Japanese seems like such a difficult language but I decided to learn one word. I know it's not much but it's a start. I looked up the word love and how to write it. I don't know how right it is. If anybody out there speaks Japanese let me know if it makes any sense. For now I'm satisfied with learning a simple word but I can't wait to experience this beautiful country.

The word is Ai which means Love.

My 1st attempt. How right is it? I have no clue but I tried to copy it as close as possible. I just hope it's nothing inappropriate:)

My 2nd attempt at making Ai. Is it any better than the first attempt?

Day 8: Riddles

It walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon and three legs in the evening. What is it?

Scroll down to get the answer

Man (or woman). Crawls on all fours as a baby, walks on two legs as an adult and uses two legs and a cane when they're old.

Day 7: Learning a joke

I've never been good at telling jokes because I can never remember them. I love to laugh and like to make people laugh. However I know that my funny bone has been on holiday lately. Time to change that. Here it is:

"I was in the restaurant yesterday when I suddenly realized I desperately
needed to pass gas. The music was really, really loud, so I timed my
gas with the beat of the music.

After a couple of songs, I started to feel better. I finished my coffee,
and noticed that everybody was staring at me....

Then I suddenly remembered that I was listening to my iPod."


I tested out this joke on  my friend and failed. lol She tried to laugh but at the end she said it wasn't that funny. Time to look for another joke, I won't give up.


I got this joke from http://www.jokes-best.com/

Learning something new each day.

I'm sure you've heard the expression, "you learn something new every day." I wanted to test that theory and make it happen.
Kids learn something new all the time but as we become adults we stop challenging ourselves. We get into our habits and we stop learning. That's why I want to learn something new everyday. I will use everyday items I have at home. I want to learn new crafts, draw, cook, learn a poem, words, skills, language, learn a magic trick etc.
No matter how silly or embarassing I will post my succesful tries and unsuccessful attempts. I believe we learn form our successes as much as our failures.

So get ready. I don't know how frequently I can post. My intention is to learn something, not just do it for the sake of it. I would love to challenge myself and post something new each day, however that might be unrealistic. What if the internet is not working or I go on holiday? Just because I don't post it at the same time it doesn't mean that I didn't learn something that day.  


This is what I hope accomplish:

a) My mind will be active. More brain activity
b) Bragging rights...to my friends and family
c) Make/lose friends :p
d) Be open to learn
e) Find out my strength/ weaknesses


I will attempt this crazy idea for a year. Oh, my God!!! What am I getting myself into??? Tomorrow will be an interesting day for me. Stay tuned and keep me on my toes. Throw ideas my way and I will try to do them. Huh! It should be fun. I'm so excited>.<
