catmint Definitely hiragana. Katakana is still my bane, although it is what I came in contact with first. Exclamations uttered by superheros in manga are always written in Katakana for some reason. But when I took up the language, its hiragana and katakana...

catmint It was the only way to understand what's being said on the variety shows on tv when I first started going nuts over a japanese boy group. Learning japanese was a great experience for me, not only do I learn the language, I learnt the culture that goes with...

catmint Only one song can make me weep. It wasn't the song itself that did it though, rather it was sang to me often by my guy. One day we got into a great big fight and that evening I had to attend a dinner and that song was sang by the event entertainer and that set...

I was the loser in my class, the one who will be called to join in a game only when they couldn't make up the numbers. That's how I learn to be on the defensive when I grew up. I am cynical about being offered opportunities...

catmint Happiness means different things to different people. For the rich, happiness could mean an off day in the stock market. For the really poor, happiness could mean not having to worry about paying for dinner tonight. Our world has evolved. Gone are the days...

catmint Very true, bad news is part of life. But accepting this fact doesn't mean I can take it positively. To stop my own dark thoughts from forming, I choose to avoid it. Just my little way of not adding to negativity the world is going through now. Thank you for...

catmint Thanks for replying. I agree that perception is a figment of our thinking, but our thinking is shaped by what we see and hear. Maybe there is not all bad news but it blinds me from any good bits left over.
