A different approach!


Here we go again.... So in this lesson we see another way to go about it... Tomoko had help from Kaz and the outcome was an awesome lesson that was fun to watch!


I loved this! I learned a lot and it was fun to watch because it felt like I was seeing a personal call half the time... I'm still learning so there were times I had no idea what was said till Kaz told us. It was over all a great video and very helpful to me! Thanx so much for making it!

Listening skills... do they know you hear them?

Have you ever been talking to a friend and all of a sudden you are wondering just how much of the conversation they actually listened to? Well in Japan you don't have to wonder about that at all... Let's watch this video by Micaela as she explains this to us...


I think it's kind of funny that I do this in English... I didn't even know it was a Japanese thing I just always wanted the person I was talking with to know I was listening. Who knew right?
Anyhow that's it for this post...

As always... Thanx for watching and reading what I share!
Hope you have a fun filled friendly day!

Music is my melody....

With so much music in the world it sometimes gets really hard to choose what ones I want to put on here... And sometimes I end up putting them on here more than once! With that being said I want to thank you all so much for not holding it against me when I re-post music!


With that being said... It is again time to share some music... Here is what I thought I'd share today...


Now let's talk about this.... It is soooo amazing she writes her own music and not just does covers... Did you listen to the words... This one has parts that really hit home for me... Does it hit home for you? I wanna start a conversation about it because it is such a beautiful and meaningful song!!!

Thanx for making this Abbie... It and all of your other songs are amazing!

As always... Thanx for watching and reading what I share with you!
Hope you have a musical day!

Play time?

Today I though it would be cool to go check out someplace with Rachel... Check out this video!!


Man I wish they had more parks like that around here! They do have a few but thankfully they aren't age restricted so if I really want to I can go enjoy them... Sorry Rachel... Maybe next time?

As always... Thanx for watching and reading what I share!
Hope you have an adventurous day!

A step back in time...

Normally right now I would be doing a post about someone in our YouTube family's past videos... This one is only a little different because all of their videos are past ones. They no longer make video but I still like to watch the videos they did make... They were my inspiration in a lot of ways so even thought they don't make videos anymore I want to share a few of the ones they made with you!

That was the first thing I saw and I thought it took a lot to do this... That made me want to see more...


Texas doesn't get snow like that so I get where she is coming from... I don't live in Texas right now but I did for a while and I actually really liked no snow! Her personality really got me to want to watch more too... As her channel grew her Vlogs got longer too.


As you can see the videos are interesting in their own way... She has a lot of other types of videos too... Grace was one of the first YouTubers I actually subscribed to and I really have to thank her for showing all these wonderful places and things to us and for being as goofy as she was because that goofiness is part of what inspired me and lifted my spirits!
So from the bottom of my heart...

Thank You So Much Grace!

As always... Thanx for watching and reading what I share with you!
Hope you have a wonderful and fun filled day!

Another look.... At one of our YouTube Family members...

So usually I only share his music with you but this time I want to share another type of video he made... It isn't in English but I think that you will still enjoy it.


So this was just another side of Seba for us to see... He really is amazing! Hope you enjoyed this as much as I did... It was fun hearing him speak another language... That's three of them that I know of now! I feel like I learned a lot of stuff about modeling in Japan and about Seba.. And if you want to know more you should really check out more of his videos! Like this one...


He has soooo many sides to him!!! Well that's it for now!

As always... Thanx For watching and reading what I share!
Hope you have an amazing day!

Short and sweet...


I thought today I would choose one of Tomoko's shorter videos... Don't be fooled... It might be shorter but you still learn a lot from it... Check it out!


See... Short and sweet! Next is usually the vocab she provides in the description... But this time there wasn't any written... So I'm going to follow her and not write it either... You need to watch the video to find out what the Vocab is! Aren't we such good teachers making you look for the info...

Sorry but I'm not sorry you had to work a little to find the vocab this time... Think of it as a treasure hunt and it won't feel like work at all! That's all for now!

As always... Thanx for watching and reading what I share!!!
Hope you have a wonderful, fun, and enlightening day!

It really looks like fun there... I really need to make a list of all the places I someday want to visit!!! So lets check out another cool place with Kelly!


That was cool too... that is one big store!!! well I think I'll end the blog here.

It's Music time!!!

So today is a music Blog day..... I thought really hard about how I wanted to do the first one back in a while... and I thought maybe sharing a few videos with you instead of just one.... The first one is by 
Pentatonix.... It's a silly one done in a not so professional setting.


Super cute right? That's so different from the more pro versions but I like this setting too cause they had fun making it! I think I'll share one from them that is more pro-style!


SOOOOO different right??? Now that we have had some fun let's look at a girl who can do others voices while singing... She really is good... check it out and see if she did your fav singer!!


Amazing right!!! Well that's it for Music Madness Monday! Until next time!!!

As always... Thanx for reading and watching what I shared!
Hope you have a musical day!

I Love when people try new things... Be that make-up or food or anything else... Trying new things is good for you most of the time... Here we have Kelly showing us her trying some new make-up...

It's throwback time... first in a while!

It has been a LONG time since I've done a throwback... But today I am doing just that! Here is an older video from once of our YouTube Family members... Thanx Jun for bringing us this amazing dish on +JunsKitchen! Here it is everyone!


A short and sweet video of an absolutely delicious looking dish!! Did it make you hungry? I know it made me want to go try this recipe out for myself... catch you all next time!

How are we all doing today?

OK... so time to have some real talk!!!

We all know how it feels to have a bad day... But when that bad day seems to never end it can get unbearable! Depression is a never ending bad day coupled with all kinds of inner monologue toward yourself that just makes you feel worse... It's hard to see the light when the dust hasn't settled yet!

With that in mind lets check in with +Micaela ミカエラ and see how she is doing because like me she has depression and I worry about her. So lets see what she says in this next video!


I'm so glad to hear she is doing better... I myself am trying to get back to being OK enough to do videos and Blog on time like I used too... Someday I will manage to figure it all out... But till then please enjoy my random Blogs, the reviews I manage to write and any Videos I find a way to make!

As always... Thanx for reading and watching what I've shared!!!
Hope you have a happy day

Shall we continue the journey??

We have looked at a lot of things about Japanese Ninja and I thought maybe something with sword fighting would be cool... So here it is... Thanx to +Micaela ミカエラ for bringing this to us!!!


WOW she did really good!!! I don't know how well I'd do with something like that because I'm a chicken and would probably run away! But it sure does look cool!

As always... Thanx for watching and reading what I share!
Hope you have an adventurous day!

One-Two-Three... Let's check out some original songs!

I thought I would share three original songs today... All three are from +Abbie Bosworth and are amazing in my opinion... Hope you like them too... here they are!

One

Two

Three

I really love how each of her songs tells some kind of a story... It really makes me happy listening to her sing and even if it's an illusion I feel like her songs make me closer to her... I can't help but smile!

Well that's it for today... Please enjoy watching these and also check out her YouTube page where she has both covers and originals as well as some talk type videos... she rocks!

As always... Thanx for watching and reading what I shared with you today!
Hope you have a fun filled musical day!

Osaka Dialect??? Sounds fun!


I thought it would be fun to see how different the Osaka dialect is from the standard Japanese we learn in our text books... So here are three videos brought to you by +tomoko tomoko that show us just that! It looks really fun to learn both though! Here we go!!!

Video One

Video Two

Video Three

Did you enjoy these? I had fun trying to figure out the differences and it was so interesting to see how the dialects sound! There are so many more videos where Tomoko shows us more of the Osaka dialect so you should check out her page to find them!

As always... Thanx for watching and reading what I've shared with you!
Hope you have an amazing and educational day!

western food in Japan!

So I know I would miss my western food if I lived in Japan and I thought I would share a video from +LoveLyzKelly that shares with us her top three places to find western food!


So there it is... I think it would be fun to check them out when I finally go there because I'd wanna see the way they are different! How cool would that be!?!?!?

Anyhow... I'm gonna end this one here because today is my dog Ziva's Birthday and I wanna get a special cookie for her! Yay for traditions!!!

As always... Thanx for reading and watching what I share with you!

Lets take a journey down the history path of the Japanese Ninja!!!

So I fell off the Bloggers wagon last week... Lets see if I can jump back on now!

I have long loved things about Japan so when +Micaela ミカエラ  put out a series of videos on Japanese Ninja I was hooked... Today I want to share those videos with you too because there is some really cool information and fun places to visit in the videos!

VIDEO ONE


That looks fun right? I think if I ever get to visit Japan I really want to visit this and the other places she takes us to learn about Japanese Ninja!

VIDEO TWO


That looks cool too! Ok now for the final video of the series!

VIDEO THREE


On this journey we learned soooo much... I hope you had as much fun learning as I did!

As always... Thanx for reading and watching what I share!

It's been a while! Let's jump right into it!


It has been quite a while since I put out a lesson video... +tomoko tomoko has been working hard on her videos and I really like the feel of this one so I thought it would be fun to share it with you!

Vocabulary: 駅 eki = station トイレ toire = rest room 探す sagasu = to look for 痛み止め itami dome = painkillers わからない wakaranai = you don't know 聞く kiku = to ask st 発音する hatsuon suru = to pronounce 謝る ayamaru = to apologize 必要ない hitsuyou nai = you don't need 袋 fukuro = prastic bag 時間 jikan = time お金 okane = money 両方 ryouhou = both アプリ apuri = app 訳す yakusu = to translate

 I hope that you liked watching it as much as I did! I Look forward to sharing more of her videos with you each month!

What does the future hold??? Can you tell???

OK... Here is a HUGE question for you all... I bet it's not one you ever thought you would hear from me though.... Here it is!

Do you think about what will happen in the future?

I know everyone does at one point or another but have you ever thought something would happen and then it did? I have had that happen to me a few times so now I am going to put it all on the line with our family member +Kento Bento and see if we can predict the future!

Supporting someones prediction can influence if it comes true... So they say...

Here is a video full of predictions!


What do you think??? It all sounds possible to me so I am choosing to believe!

As always... Thanx for watching and reading the things I share with you!
Have a wonderfully eventful day!

Backstage of a music video... What's it really like???

It's been a while since I posted a vlog-blog... Actually... It's been a while since I posted anything other than a review! I'm really going to try to change that and even though a lot of my posts will be short and sweet I hope you'll like them! So let's kick it off with a behind the scenes with +Sebastiano Serafini on the set of his music video Fire!!!


I love seeing that making a music video is not only stressful but fun too!

What did you think? Was it something like you expected it would be or was it a complete surprise? For me the best part was hearing what Aki said to Seba when they were filming the "kiss".... I died laughing! If you wanna see the whole video just look below!


Hope you enjoyed it! I thought I would combine last weeks missed throwback with today's post.. let me know what you think though I think I will be able to keep up with everything from now on.

Let's Have Fun Together!

As always... Thanx for reading and watching what I share with you!
Hope you have a magical musical day!
