10 Rules for Happier Living

1. Give something away (no strings attached).

2. Do a kindness (and forget it).

3. Spend a few minutes with the aged (their experience can be priceless guidance).

4.Look intently into the face of a baby (and marvel).

5. Laugh often (it is life's lubricant).

6. Give thanks (a thousand times a day is not enough).

7. Pray (or you will lose the way).

8. Work (with vim and vigor).

9. Plan as though you will live forever (because you will).

10. Live as though you will die tomorrow (because you will die on some tomorrow).

In Christ abundant grace

Ps. Caleb & Lusi

Tokyo Love Story Lyrics

Yesterday night, when I was doing my curriculum design, a friend greeted me on yahoo messenger. He asked me to translate the song from Tokyo Love story TV drama. This is the lyrics in Kanji characters and romaji and translation. It is not a perfect translation. If you know better translation, please say so. I will revise it. The original title of the song is "Love story wa totsuzen ni ラブ・ストーリーは突然に" (A love story suddenly begins) 何から伝えればいいのか　分からないまま時は流れて　　 浮かんでは　消えてゆく　ありふれた言葉だけ　　 君があんまりすてきだから　　ただすなおに　好きと言えないで　　 多分もうすぐ　雨も止んで　二人　たそがれ　　 あの日　あの時　あの場所で　君に会えなかったら　　 僕らは　いつまでも　見知らぬ二人のまま　　 誰かが甘く誘う言葉に　もう心揺れたりしないで　　 切ないけど　そんなふうに　心は縛(ｼﾊﾞ)れない　　 明日(ｱｼﾀ)になれば君をきっと　今よりもっと好きになる　　 そのすべてが僕のなかで　時を越えてゆく　　 君のためにつばさになる　君を守りつづける　　 やわらかく　君をつつむ　あの風になる　　 あの日　あの時　あの場所で　君に会えなかったら　　 僕らは　いつまでも　見知らぬ二人のまま 今　君の心が動いた　言葉止めて　肩を寄せて　　 僕は忘れないこの日を　君を誰にも渡さない　　 君のためにつばさになる　君を守りつづける　　 やわらかく　君をつつむ　あの風になる　　 あの日　あの時　あの場所で　君に会えなかったら　　 僕らは　いつまでも　見知らぬ二人のまま　　 誰かが甘く誘う言葉に　心揺れたりしないで　　 君をつつむ　あの風になる　　 あの日　あの時　あの場所で　君に会えなかったら　　 僕らは　い
