The last post of the year 今年最後の投稿
Dec 30th 2009 16:50
If I don't post an entry today, the previous stupid post would crown the year. That bothers me much so I've decided to look back on the past year and to think about New Year's resolutions by this entry.
もし今日、日記を書かなかったら、前回のあほな投稿で今年の最後を飾ってしまうことになる。それはすごく嫌なので、今回の投稿で今年一年を振り返るとともに、新年の抱負を考えようと思います。
First of all, this year I thought about my life deeply for the first time ever. I made a big mistake which seemed irretrievable damage in the past. But that's just as well for me because that made me think about my life, like what I really want or something. I'm saying this from my heart, not sour grapes. And I could learn that it is important to take a long term view when I made decisions.
最初に、今年は生まれて初めて自分の人生について深く考えた年だった。私は過去にほとんど取り返しのつかないような大きな失敗をしているんだよね。でもそれが返ってよかった。そのことが、自分は本当は何を求めているのかとか、そういたっことを考えるきっかけになってくれたからね。これは負け惜しみとかじゃなくて、本当にそう思って言ってるんだ。それから何かを決断する時には、長い目で物事を見るってことが大事だってことを学びました。
Secondly, I could learn how important it is to take good care of myself. The only person who can have a high regard for me is me. It doesn't ever mean that no one cares me. I mean, to live a beautiful life, I should believe in myself. Yeah, "Be confident", that is the most important thing for my present self.
次に、自分を大切にするってことがいかに大事かを痛感しました。自分を大事にできる人は、自分しかいないからね。もちろん、誰も私を気にかけてくれる人がいないっていう意味じゃない。ええと、美しい人生を送るためには、自分自身を信じることが必要だっていうことです。うん、「自信を持つ。」これが今の私にとって一番大事なことなんだな。
Finally, I've been kind of selfish this year because I've got to bounce back and I didn't have enough time to care about anybody.
最後に、今年は私はある意味自己中だったと思う。というのも、自分が立ち直るのに精一杯で、他人のことを気にかける余裕があまりなかった。
The other day, I saw some one was first to dish out a clam which looked bigger than others to his friend at a restaurant even though he was really looking forward to eat them. Ah, now I got embarrassed about writting this because his behavior is thought to be in the natural order of things in the world of adults. But it is hard for me to serve my favorite food out to friends firstly in the face of that. So I was so moved by his involuntary kindness and I thought that I want to become the person like him.
ついこの間、ある人がレストランで、食べるのをとてもとても楽しみにしていた大きなハマグリを真っ先に友達に取り分けてあげたのを見たんだよね。あ、こんなこと書いているのがなんだか恥ずかしくなってきた。だって、そういう気遣いって大人の世界では常識だもんね。でも私は、好物を目の前にして、自分より先に友達に大きいやつを取り分けてあげるなんて、中々できない。だから、彼の意図的でない優しさにものすごく感動して、私もそんなことが普通にできるようになりたいって思ったの。
So, my resolution of the New Year is shedding my desires. I'll make consideration of others before I gratify my desire. I hope I can pull it off. Oops, I did it again right after I told! I hope the coming year is a happy and successful one for all of YOU! lol
だから、私の新年の誓いは、欲を捨てること。自分の欲望を満たす前に、まず他人のことを考えることにします。うまくできるといいんだけど。あっ！言ってるそばからまたやっちゃった。『みなさんにとって』来る年が幸せいっぱいの素晴らしい一年になりますように。(笑)

頑張りましょうー！
良いお年をー！
私は皆にとって良い一年になるように祈りながら、自分にとって良い一年になるように頑張りたいです。
今年はきっと良い年になるんです。お互い頑張りましょう！
And I was able to learn that it is important to take a long term view when I make decisions.
Secondly, I was able to learn how important it is to take good care of myself.
It doesn't mean that no one cares for/about me. Or if you're talking about in the future, it would sound natural to say "It doesn't mean that no one will ever care about me"
I (just) mean, to live a beautiful life, I should believe in myself.
The other day, I saw someone was first to dish out a clam which looked bigger than others to his friend at a restaurant even though he was really looking forward to eating them.
Ah, now I'm embarrassed about writing this because his behavior is thought to be in the natural order of things in the world of adults.
So I was so moved by his automatic/unconscious kindness and I thought that I want to become like him/I want to become that kind of person.
So, my resolution for the New Year is to shed my desires.
I'll consider others before I gratify my own desire(s).
I hope I can pull it off. 笑 you are so cute. :)
Oops, I did it again right after I said I wouldn't!
I know you're busy but I love your posts. Anything you write about either makes me laugh, think, and sometimes both. :)
Here's wishing you a long, happy year of confidence. of love. of making good decisions. of getting better at English. of not giving up. of feeling free to be yourself. of friendship. of generosity. of good health. and of writing a lang-8 post every now and then so I can see what you're up to.
Happy new year, Saya-chan. Thank you for everything in 2009. I hope we can stay friends in 2010, too. :)
明けましておめでとう！今年もよろしくお願いします(^―^)
>何時ちゃん
おめでとうございます(^ｖ^) 今年もよろしくね♪
お互いにいい年にしようね！
ところで今日はすごく寒い。。。台湾はあったかいんだろうな、いいな(^^)
>詠美 ;D
Thank you so much! You did a lot of work for me! I appreciate that.
Happy new year! Of course we can stay friends this year, too!
I wish you and your loved ones always feel happy this year.
Oh, thanks to you wishing me a year of generosity, I feel I've started to change myself. I can be nicer to others unconsciously than before, so far. ;)
can also say: The year's final post
If I don't post an entry today, the previous silly post would crown-off the year.
That bothers me much, so I've decided to look back on the past year and to think about New Year's resolutions with this entry.can just say: that bothers meNB: to say something bothers us or '..bothers us alot' has nearly the same emphasis.
I'm saying this from my heart, not from/because of sour grapes.
Finally, I've been kind of selfish this year, because I've had to bounce back and I didn't have enough time to care about anybody.
The other day, I saw someone was first in dishing out a clam--which looked bigger than others--to his friend in a restaurant even though he was really looking forward to eat them himself.
Ah, now I've gotten embarrassed about writting this because his behavior is thought to be (of) the natural order of things the in world of adults.
But it's hard for me to serve first a favorite food of mine to myfriends in the face of that...would have to say: in the face of THAT (or: in the face of that!) -for informal style emphasis. Formally, would have to be: in the face of a situation like that. or: when faced with a situation like that.
all the best
;)
