My Valentine's Day

Today is President's Day and yesterday was Valentine's Day. Wednesday, after my last class of the week, I went to Sacramento to visit my friends.

I spent two nights at my friend Ousseny's house, he has one son and one daughter. The two last nights I was at my cousin's house, she has one daughter. As you can see on the pictures I spent my time with Ousseny and my cousin' daughters. I don't know why but I like kids. I like them so much when I was a young boy I wanted to have my first child at 21 years old...

Kelya is the name of my cousin's daughter. I visited Kelya once a week when I was in Sacramento. I miss her a lot. So on my Valentine's Day I took care of her and did my maps at the same time. It was my first time to spend a lot of time with her and it was so hard because she was trying to type on the keyboard or taking away my book. I was so happy though because when I see a baby smiling that's enough to me to feel good ... I took a lot of pictures and videos of her. Babies are beautiful, adorable but they give a lot of work to the mother. My cousin is so brave to raise her baby alone, and keep studying.

I said God bless all mothers
and thank you to my mom for everything.

English or Japanese

Konnichiwa watashi wa Goé desu, yoroshiku onegaishimasu!

Why am I here in the U.S?
I'm here to improve my English and enjoy the best quality of the American education.

Why am I learning English?

First, English is so cool. I prefer for example to watch a movie in English instead of in a French version. There are some expressions that it's better to hear them in the original Language. A majority of most popular songs in the world are in English; I hate when I listen to music and I can't understand the lyrics. When I was in Europe or Africa everybody wanted to speak English because it just makes you feel good :-)!

Second, it's the international language. It is used in all fields: business, medicine, sciences etc. My major is economics and I think without English I cannot explore it in depth the current economic world.

BUT I LOVE JAPANESE.

I love Japanese's culture, cuisine, history etc.

For me Japanese is the coolest language in the world.
When I'm watching Japanese animation, I'm always so excited.
Why? I don't know.

You know when you love something or someone too much, it's so difficult to express that love with words.

The U.S. gave me the opportunity to meet Japanese friends and keep practicing that fabulous language.
I wish after my master's degree I can move to the "Land of The Rising Sun".

Arigatô mina-san!
Goé-chan.
