At Heart to Heart English Club today we discussed Happiness and what it
meant to us.

Some of the above questions on the white-board are:
*
What is your idea/philosophy on happiness?

In reality, what do you really think happiness is?

What do you do to create happiness in your life?
*
For me personally, Happiness is to have a goal or purpose in life and to spread
love universally, while marching towards that goal!
Please share with us some of your thoughts on the above questions.

夜の街にもいろいろな動物が潜んでいる！

Play

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 9:51 pm on Saturday, September 27, 2008

Play is an integral part of our lives.

Do you take the time to chill out

and be gay?

It is important to remove yourself

from everyday life; shake your

bootie and play!!!
I seem to be playing even during the
busiest times. When I wake up in the
morning I sing and dance about.
With clients and friends we always
seem to be laughing and high.
Some weekends; if time permits I go
with friends and explore natures
gifts, or just soak in the hot springs
while watching the river run on by.
What do you do?

目玉の町

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 12:35 pm on Friday, September 26, 2008


目玉親父がカキ氷のおもちに！
結構リアルで怖い妖怪食品です。

どこで食べられるかといえば、

境港市にある”水木しげるロード”にあるお店。
米子から妖怪列車に乗って30分

水木しげるのふるさとがゲゲゲの鬼太郎で町興ししてるんです。

このＪＲ境港線も、廃線予定だったのが、
妖怪の町の人気で黒字に転換したとか。

妖怪の力恐るべしですね！
名物、目玉タクシー

Kimono

In modern Japan you can
still see women wearing
Kimonos.
They are far and few to
be seen but I was lucky
enough to see these ladies
getting on their bus,
looking  ever so elegant
and serene.
I wore a kimono about
15 years ago, once.
Everyone told me I looked
charming but I felt too
constricted in movement
so I lasted only an hour
as a Japanese Princess
from the West!

Rolling with the Punches

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 10:42 pm on Tuesday, September 23, 2008

Image005.jpg
Sometimes the Universe delivers us big challenges.
Just when we think that all is protected from
unwanted damages.
There are times in life when plans are distorted and
all that we have in-visioned must be immediately
aborted.
The gift of time can tick tock with unfamiliar rhymes.
And it is in that moment that we must be sublimed!
What do we do when these moments arise?
I was told by a beloved, not but moments ago, that
he is going with his hunches and Rolling with
the Punches! (Using his deep felt intuition to work
through his challenges in the immediate moment).
Share with us at Heart to Heart English Club in how
you deal with unexpected surprise?

いや！

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 11:36 pm on Sunday, September 21, 2008

ねえ 君どこから来たの？

いや！

いやなんて言わないでさぁ

いやって言ってるでしょ
しつこいわね‼

Give and Take

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 12:18 pm on Saturday, September 20, 2008

We hear ‘Give and Take’ in every language.
It doesn`t matter where you are.
I wonder if we understand the true meaning
of this saying which is whispered near and far?
I believe it means that when one truly gives
One should not expect anything of one`s
desires, but take the result of the situation
of what naturally bounds to aspire.
How do you live in the language of
Give and Take?

ちっちゃい怪物

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 6:05 pm on Friday, September 19, 2008


うぎゃー！

なんだこれー？

すごい怪物でしょ？

連休は、山に篭っていたんですが、
もう9月というのに、まだ枯れかけのアジサイの葉に止まっていた
ちっちゃいクモです。

体長はわずか５ｍｍぐらい。

ドアップで見てみたら、酔っ払いのオヤジみたいな顔でした(^^;

そういえば、クライスラーのジープって、
このクモからデザインとったんじゃないかってぐらい似てませんか?

シャッター

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 5:13 pm on Wednesday, September 17, 2008

街を歩いていたら、楽しげなシャッターアートのお店があつた。

シャッターが閉まっていると、街の雰囲気は暗くなりがち。

シャッターが降りていても、こんなアートがあれば、街も華やぎますね。

街が明るくなると犯罪も起こりにくくなるんじゃないかと思います。

Expression of Love

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — clarissa 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 10:20 am on Tuesday, September 16, 2008


I found this video interesting.


VIDEO | Learning to Say ‘I love You’
Expression of love seems to be a difficult act in the

home of some of the Japanese households.

For me I found this totally foreign, as I grew up with

my mum, dad, grandma, siblings and extended family

always openly expressing LOVE to each through words,

touch, parties, arguments and laughter. This has left

me in the hereafter. No matter how busy my parents

were as professionals in the business world, my mum

and dad showed love to each other. As a child this
naturally led me to think that all couples were like this!

I am an adult now, have had my own relationships with

partners and friends in the many countries that I have visited
and lived in, and have been shown through them, that

not all people have come from households like mine.

Good or Bad; I don`t know but what I do know, is when

I show the love that was taught and felt during my
up-bringing to other people, there is a feeling
unexplainable that makes me want to sing and dance!!

Share with us at Heart to Heart about your impressions

of Expressions of Love.

バナナダイエット

我が家では、今日から朝食がバナナになった。

なんでも、バナナダイエットといって、朝バナナを食べるだけで
ダイエットになるらしい。

くわしくはこちらへ

ちなみに、バナナの上に写っているのは、
バナナガードといわれるババナの入れ物。
なんと99%以上のバナナが入るとか?
今のところ、すべてのバナナが入ってます。

ある、テレビ番組で100本のいろいろなバナナで
実験したところ、1本だけが入らなかったみたい。

Repetitive Dreams

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 9:50 am on Saturday, September 13, 2008

Image574.jpg
When I am going through major changes in my life, a repetitive dream
seems to visit me at night.
Usually, I am at the seaside and the most prominent scene, is that a
humongous wave, is making its way directly to me.
I stand on the cliff or wherever it may be, and I think to myself; will I
take the dive and revive?
There is a feeling of butterflies, fluttering their wings in the depths of
my very being, and then I stand with determination, inhale to the pits
of my soul and take the foreboding dive; spreading my wings
into the unknown .
I hit the surface of the water and know that the last breath that I took,
is the only one that I have left, until I resurface; if not mistook.
I always seem to find my way to the lavender lights, and exhale with
delight, that I have lived again through this contrite!
Do you have repetitive dreams that visit you at night? Share with us at
Heart to Heart what these dreams could be trying to bring to light…

Light and Dark

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 2:42 pm on Wednesday, September 10, 2008

Light and Darkness; What can you see?
To prefer one or the other; is that how you want to be?
Outside my apartment I saw an amazing sky and some
clouds bouncing above with preferred flirtatious pride.
The contrast of my balcony with the bright scene from
the heavens, made me think that as human beings, we
must realise we are in the blend, and if we can accept
what is given; we will be able to live our lives more
heart-felt driven.

青空と雲

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 11:29 pm on Tuesday, September 9, 2008

久しぶりに青空が広がっている。

ひょっこり現れた雲が
なんだか可愛らしくて
思わずシヤッターを切った。

そういえば
ゆつくり雲を見る余裕が
なかったようなきがする。


Baby Sierra

Look at this gorgeous face which has so much happiness and contentment;
written all over her trace.
I haven`t held her in my arms for over a year now and miss her naturally
tender cheeky charms.
Her pretty eyes of wisdom used to always tell me a story and today I can see
she is just happy to be playing with her bubbles, which should of kept her out
of the usual trouble!
Her mama tells me that she springs out of bed with cheer and dances around
the house singing songs with no fear.
Apparently she has a strong personality that portrays what she wants and
is bossy but loving in getting what she wants!
Sierra has a great appetite for sweets, moves quickly, loves playing with her brother,
cousins and anyone; that will partake in her make believe retreats.
Most of all she loves to smile and be with people of all styles and profiles….
What do you think of when you look at this picture of my niece, Sierra?

Indecision

Filed under: topics英会話名古屋 — 英会話 名古屋 Heart to Heart at 11:10 pm on Tuesday, September 2, 2008

Image554.jpg
Stacey; my friend, put on entertainment for us to no end!!! She had to
choose a beautiful Indian shirt that she liked best and indecision
put her to the test. She tryed on many a colourful number that
all seemed to suit her making her go into a hasteful blunder.
She modelled and twirled, checked her reflection out and asked
our opinions on which one she should invest. She had a train to
catch , couldn`t make a decision and of course our opinions left
her in doubt so finally Stacey settled for the pretty one held up to
her chest.
Great choice Stacey!!
Can you relate to being indecisive at times? What is it that you do
do to settle the bubbling brew? Give us some tips which may help
us learn to make the right decisions when time seems to be chasing
us from behind.
