How lovely the baby is!!!
Monifa was born about three weeks ago and weighs six kilograms.
The endangered hippos come from the lowland tropical forests of western Africa.
Senior zoo keeper Renae Zammit says the birth of Monifa is extremely important.
"There's less than 3,000 of them in the wild. Their population is declining all the time with wars and deforestation, pollution and all that sort of stuff," she said.
One author reminds me this.
"On ne voit pas bien qu'avec le cœur, l'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux."
which means
(One cannot see well except with the heart, the essential is invisible to the eyes)
This book was one of the first books from parents.
I couldn't understand that story and it was very boring to me.
(I guess I was too young to read this book.)
And now, I can tell this is not boring therefore we (I) should read every months.
SooooOOOOOOO cute!!!
She's back!!!
When I was studying Children's Services... Wow it was almost two years ago. There were only four Japanese students in my class. We spend most of time together in the school and outside of school.
I started sell my stuff at markets in
I have done this last year at Melville, and I am doing at
Last week, it wasn't toooooooooo bad. Because I could earn a little bit.
Then this week, it was disaster.
I only could get 70cents after I paid fee for rent the space.
Main problem is my stuff and friend's one is too small for Australian people to wear.
I set up the price from 10cents to 10 dollars, even though they do not buy anything.
Mostly Asian people buy our stuff, but still not much.
In fact, I do not care much about money now.
I wanted make some money from this, and I was expecting it.
Now, I am enjoying meeting people at there to talk.
In addition I made a few friends at there who come every week for sell stuff or buy it.
Some people are Migrant like me, some people are Australian.
They are very friendly to me and I found a lot of people come to market to talk.
On the other hand I also found there is obvious discrimination all the time.
Last Sunday, my both neighbors were Migrant.
One was unknown nationality, hard to talk with him but I heard what he said to customers.
Other one was from
Unknown nationality seller gave cheaper price to Australian or Caucasian customers than dark skin and Asian customers.
It wan not only few dollars difference, it was more than 20 dollars gap between them.
The other seller from
He said to me that he hates Chinese, African and Arabic people.
I was very confused and upset from his opinion.
I am studying with those people and I know those people's background more than him.
Therefore I like to talk to them very much.
Mainly I do not understand that both sellers also migrant, how they can hate those people, why they treat those people differently.
It made me very upset and confused a lot.
Anyway I found something important and interesting for me, although only could earn 70 cents that day.
I bought a E.T toy last week, YES!!! I am collecting E.T as well!!!
