The reason why I can't help loving magazine





I got a lot of old magazines for $15 from Milton Public Library! It dosen't matter what's lately trends for me. I love magazines but I rarely read magazines because of my smart phone. I'll enjoy the magazine what I haven't read for a while.

When I was in here at first, I often went to Library or Indigo for reading something. I like to read the magazine because I'm not a stadious person. If I read serious book even easier in English, it's also good way for learn about Canadian culture. I can read any page that have my interests. If you can't understand something, the picture in the magazine might  help to read easily. During you enjoy the magazine, maybe you can get some native speakers expression and grammer without big effort.(But don't forget, magazines are just the magazine.:))

However, what a good idea! Saving money, prcaticing English and learning Canadian culture are benefit from magazine. Moreover, reducing garbage for environment and support for local library are as well...win win!

Money!

Sometimes...I'm thinking, I can stop to try to make ends meet all the time, if I got land a great job.. but I don't dream to be loaded. I hope I can keep track of my future and my family. That's why I've been focusing on stick to my budget. I don't want to be in the hole before My husband and I get a land a job. Last weekend, I organized and found out  my clothes look like brand new that I've had for a long time since I got when I worked by Make up Artist. Because I've been trying to curb my spending money. (I wish I buy new clothing for spring..:() Maybe I will strap for cash like not long time later. But I might be planning for downsizing. Housing paying through the nose. Moving that's not blew the money. I will try to do my best. I'll be fine. No wonder what happen to life :))

Banks driving me crazy in many ways




I rarely have some experience about bank. I'm not math person. My father always said, "You never borrow money and never lend money. Not only you must save money, you must save it at the bank when you have some money." My father is honest man, I just respect him. So, I did during whole my life time before I moved in here. For me, banks meant trustworthy place. 

But My fantasy of  banks have been breaking since I've got information about banks from my husband who is math person since I've married. In Canada, I've used BMO debit card, we've got house mortgage from Scotia bank and one more bank account we've had. My husband tends to share and decide with me about important banks things but I couldn't remember what I heard even though I tried. Maybe.., I could discriminate which is better or not. It's just too complicated for me to remember... It drive me crazy! 

One day, My husband told me, he gave banks a piece of his mind because they didn't give us some money what we suppose to be back. They always responded to be sorry for their mistake but that's all. It still happens sometimes. It's not surprise to me anymore. When it happened I thought, I'm not able to find what's wrong for that and it probably pour money down the drain. I just felt like they were ripping us off. Is there nobody except math and smart person in the world, isn't it? Everybody need the money and almost people work hard for making money. People borrow the money for buying the house to live. Banks treat that money. It means banks treat a kind of life. That's why banks should try to be more clear, be moral and be better. I'll keep watching.

About sounds

That's why it's not easy to make correct sounds of English for me

Firstly,
f/h/r/v/z/th/TH/Zh/ow/o/Er/Ar/Or/ ^/, These sounds are not in my first language. So it's difficult to pronounce for me when I speak English. I automatically make sounds as like my first language even though I try to keep awareness for correct English sounds.

Secondly,
I realized just now that it was wrong what majority of English sounds what I learned and got used to make sounds till now without doubt. I just learned English approximately 25-30 years ago. Nowadays, my county's many people are into English education for future. They've believed that they have a good chance for successful life if they are good at English. So I can easily see even kids sound like native speaker in my country. But it wasn't mine. I should've doubt my English sounds!

lastly,
I couldn't focused on my sounds yet because I've been in rush to make sentence for speaking before I forgot what I wanted to say first.
