Talkative day

I took three lessons today and was extremely busy with many incidental tasks.

The first lesson was with teacher N.
She asked me what I did before the class.
I shared the item I displayed on "Mercari" sold, so I prepared to send it, and gladly, I'd just received the information that another item had sold.
And then, I need to prepare to ship it and go to the convenience store to send them after the class.

I tried remembering why the topic had changed, but she asked me if I had taken TOEIC.
I'd taken it twice; the first was about twenty years ago.
Since I was a hard worker then, I fell asleep just at the beginning of the test. Someone touched my shoulder, meaning the person behind me passed the answering sheet.

During the test, we could hear someone write the characters, which made me sleepy, like a lullaby.
I had no idea at first moment and realized I had fallen asleep.
I felt at the second moment, "Oh my gosh!"

I shared some things regarding yesterday's "squid game" topic with her.
I googled "squid game" after the last lesson, and it said "Lee Byung-hun" will be performing in the "Squid Game season 2."

Next, I asked her if she knew the famous Youtuber "Mr. Beast," she knew his name but hadn't seen his movie yet.
My son showed me the film before, which was held "Squid Game" by "Mr. Beast."
It was funny.
She knew he donates large sums of money; I knew that because my son had told me.



The next lesson was with teacher I.
She asked me if tomorrow was the emperor's birthday and then the Japanese holiday, and she told me the president's birthday wasn't a national holiday in the Philippines.
However, I remember she said that the hero's birthday became a national holiday; Dr. Jose Rizal's birthday is a national holiday.

Talking about the president's birthday is not a national holiday; our prime minister's birthday is not a holiday like the Philippines.
In our case, the former emperor's birthdays are also national holidays, except for the emperor Heisei's birthday because he is still alive.

She wondered who the following emperor was; she knew our emperor had only a daughter, and female royal family members couldn't inherit in Japan.
I answered her that the first in line to the throne is the present emperor's brother, and the second is whose son.
However, we are considering if a female could inherit, if possible, the emperor's daughter, "Aiko-sama," could be the following emperor.



The last lesson of today was with teacher N again.
Our conversation started with, "It's been a while!" "How have you been?" just kidding.

I shared with her that her favorite singer held a "nippon budoukan" concert last week, but I forgot to mention one more piece of information; yesterday was his birthday, and he turned thirty years old.
I hope she finds this information.

The next topic was my favorite musician.
I like "MONKEY MAJIK;" they are four pieces band consisting of two Japanese and two Canadian brothers.
The brothers are vocals and guitarists; they combine Japanese with English in their lyrics.

She remembered that she likes "FUNKY MONKEY BABY'S" from the word "MONKEY."
I like their song "Ato Hitotsu."
I am a fan of the baseball team "Tohoku Rakuten Eagles," and the famous player uses that song as his theme.
They were a champion in Japan in 2013; in the last inning, he appeared with this song, and the audience sang together.
It was goosebumped and memorable.

Although she likes this song, she doesn't know what the lyrics mean, so I will try translating it into English; it's my assignment for the next lesson.

It was a very long day.
See you around.
