Sinjirarenaaaaaai! (Unbelieeeevable!)

This words got a fame after used by the championship manager of the Japanese baseball league last season. I feel almost the same.
" I am writing the blog, It's unbelieeevable(sinnjirarenaaaai)"
When I told my son that I set up my own blog. He was so surprised to hear my news.
After he confirmed my blog(he couldn't believe what I said,then),he posted to me my latest blog.(He used his blog name,) Anyway,Thank you my son for your thoughtful comment. But He didn't write the your first your claim. Still I remeber "Sinjirarenaaai, What's going on,Dad. Why are you so active?"( 信じられへん。どうしたん?おやじ、えらいやる気になってるやん。)
Hey, don't steal my words,my son. It's my words.
OK, I will tell you why I set up my blog. One reason is for my own English study,I have tried to write a journal in English couple of times so far, but soon I gave up cause of hardness to achieve. But I have keeping a wish to write something in English since I started to train myself in English.
The second reason is ALT(assistant language teacher)at my school. The Singapore lady(Her name is Olen) recommended to me to set up my blog. At first I hesitated, because it sounded tough enough to do. I have read her blog so often. I have read Mike's blog(former ALT) for a many times. It takes a few days to decide,of course.
But I decided to set up. To start something new sounds very attractive emotion to us,but still feel a sort of hesitation. If she will not suggest me, i will probably never start such a new act. Thank you Olen,you actually gave me courage to start new movement or act.

明石ESS(Akasi ESS)


One more english meeting,which I am attending is Akashi ESS. I have attended there for 13 years as amember of Advanced Class. but unfortunately, numbers of member is becoming less and less,From this year we should combine advanced class with middle class together because of lack of finace. We have to gurantee some money for the native speakers.So,we need at least 60 members to keep three classes,now we have 30 to 40. That's why we minimized.
Talking about instructors,Neil(British man) and kristin(Japanese-american) are teaching us now. Both two are actually good teacheres and good performeres.
But Neil is going to leave Japan this coming April. I feel very sad because we keep a good freindship for over 2 years. Thank you Neil and Goog luck.
