@Yoshi40785821 Aren't they beautiful?

Thanks for the update on the weather. It sounds like it's been quite a rough season in Japan this year...

I love shower trees!❤

One account I’ve been interacting with just retweeted an elitist post, agreeing with it. It’s like they’re forming an exclusive bubble, looking down on ones not belonging to the "bubble". I blocked them immediately. People shouldn't throw a wet blanket on others.

@Yoshi40785821 It really was a magical sight! Everything felt just perfect !✨✨✨

A late post, but a magical pairing: the moon and the fireworks!

@Yoshi40785821 Oh, that's a GREAT idea !!! 😆😆😆

My friend has three dogs and entered them in a contest! So she took us to a dog show! It was fun. I even saw a vet's stand there, and it was exactly like the "Doctor is in" booth from Peanuts. As a non-native speaker, I was amazed to see how "is in" is actually used !

We started watching a Korean show called "Karma". At first, I thought it was simple, but I was wrong. Everything we saw was delicate foreshadowing, and in the end, all of them were intertwined like a straight lane.

Lately, I've been watching a Chinese drama "Nice to Meet You."🥰
Notes:
✅conniving [kənáiviŋ] (≃sly)
✅per se (by itself)
✅cajole [kədʒóul] (persuade someone by sweet talk) ✅conundrum (a confusing and difficult problem)
✅archaistic [ɑ̀rkiístik] mimicking an ancient style

[Mia🇺🇸 @muuronmeg]

I never imagined I'd get so into Chinese dramas! I'm glad I understand English, since a lot of them still haven’t been translated into Japanese.　

✅English note: "dark cuisine" (a slang term for bizarre-looking food, somewhat similar to the Japanese slang ”汚料理”

The other day, I learned a new color word from my friend. She told me she loves "teal" and showed me what it looks like. It’s such a beautiful color!

Note:
✅"teal" /tiːl/ A deep, rich bluish-green color

Late post. At my usual salon, I went with this Tiffany blue, and this time I added silver glitter over it.　#Miapedi

[Mia🇺🇸 @muuronmeg]

Flashback to last weekend. I went to a salon to get a new pedi. This time, I got Tiffany blue again!

@Yoshi40785821 Thank you! I couldn't agree more. It’s wonderful to share the same perspective on this lifelong joy.☺️

It is interesting that many Japanese English learners consider their studying process as climbing a mountain. For me, it is NOT a mountain. I will never see the top. It is like dreaming of grazing the beautiful celestial maiden's dress hem someday.

Ron and Meg suddenly started chattering and staring outside. There were three birds on our lanai fence!
