2024/10/18

I hope you're all doing well. It's been a while, and a lot has happened in my life recently that I want to share with you today. I had an unexpected turn of events while I was in Japan, and I want to walk you through how these past few weeks have gone. So, let’s dive in.As some of you know, I was supposed to be receiving a notice from the Canadian government around the end of September, along with my consultant, to renew my work permit and head back to Canada. I was in Tokyo and my hometown,

#38 Facing My Fear of Flying

2024/09/26

When you’re listening to this podcast, I’ll either be in the middle of my flight back to Japan or just touching down at Narita Airport. I hope so. So, today’s topic is all about taking a plane.First off, let me be honest—I’m not exactly an airplane enthusiast. Sure, I love spotting planes in the sky or at the airport; they look cool and all. But when it comes to actually flying, I’m not a fan. Some people might think I’m a bit off for feeling this way, but here’s the deal: every time I board a

#37 My Memorable Teacher

2024/09/19

Today, I want to talk about a memorable teacher from my high school days—someone who left a lasting impression on me and who I’ll likely mention if I’m asked to describe a teacher on the speaking test such as IELTS exam.Her name was Ms. Matsuura, my high school English teacher. It’s been almost 20 years since then, so I imagine she’s retired by now, but I still remember her vividly. She was an exceptional teacher, and I think part of the reason why I was such a good student in her class was that she

Today, I’m sharing some unexpected news—I’m heading back to Japan for a short stay this month! It’s going to be a quick visit, probably just about a week, but I’m already getting excited and started creating a to-do list of all the things I want to do while I’m there.Of course, top of the list is seeing my parents and catching up with friends. But beyond that, I thought it might be interesting to share what’s on my list, as it could give a little insight into what someone living abroad gets excited

But today, let’s flip the script and focus on the fun side of birthdays—especially when it comes to celebrating in Canada.Now, speaking of birthdays, I recently discovered something that really surprised me: the incredible world of birthday freebies.

#34 Mid-30 Life Crisis

2024/08/29

Today we're diving deep into something that's been on my mind a lot lately: the mid-30 life crisis. I am turning 33 years old next month. Turning 30 was surprisingly smooth sailing for me. I thought it would be a big deal, but it came and went without much fuss. Turning 31 and 32? Also pretty manageable. But now, as I approach 33, I find myself grappling with a wave of anxiety and uncertainty that I didn't see coming.So today, I want to unpack this feeling—Let's start with the career aspect because,

There are several podcasts I am listening on a daily basis. I love listening to podcasts because it is supposed to be one of the most popular, valuable, and easiest ways to improve listening skills. What I like about podcasts for me is their compatibility with my life. I have 8 hours a day to face the computer working alone, with a little conversation over the phone or with colleagues. My ears tend to be free for almost 5 hours a day. Whereas, it isn't easy to find the one that suits a person well

Today we lost the internet access in the workplace caused by the power outage last weekend. Only thing we could do was to wait for the problem to be resolved and meanwhile, I could only do physical work because most of my jobs required the access to the internet and data server same as most people. Therefore, I spent a lot of time on physical work and a little computer work offline. As long as the company pays, there is no problems for me, and it is not that much stressful.That situation made me

We are often required to express our opinions, in social settings, school or workplace, etc. Last week I talked about the introspection of my English exam but there was one question I couldn't answer well in the exam. It was "The medical insurance should cover the prescription medication. what do you think?" I feel like the question itself is not too too hard to answer because we can at least understand the question, but the most difficult part of answering this type of question is to come up with
