K-chan Recommends(1)::DATTE BA YO!

I can't believe this blog has been open for nearly 7 monthes now and i never made a post on anime!! it's time for Anime recommendations then! (1 anime per post)

Naruto (ACTION/martial arts/comedy) : this NINJA anime is really the best of its type,,best action ever! the story is well structured and the characters develop with the story as the episodes go on.
The comedy you find in it is really the best too!

"Ore..dareni mo makene~n datte ba yo!"



"omee~! nani surundatte ba yo?!"








and so cute change on the character(good if they decided 2 change it to an anime for kids!lool)


(I published this post from my drafts. I had this post actually written before 3 monthes ago! so i thought better 2 publish it before it rottens up! lool)
*No guarantees on when the next recommendation will be! :D
see you in the next anime recommendation!

LYRICS:

上を向いて　歩こう
涙が　こぼれないように
思い出す　春の日
　一人ぽっちの夜

上を向いて歩こう
にじんだ　星をかぞえて
思い出す　夏の日
　一人ぽっちの夜

幸せは　雲の上に
幸せは　空の上に

上を向いて　歩こう
涙が　こぼれないように
泣きながら　歩く
　一人ぽっちの夜


（口笛・・・・・・）


思い出す秋の日　
一人ぽっちの夜

悲しみは　星のかげに
悲しみは　月のかげに

上を向いて　歩こう
涙が　こぼれないように
泣きながら歩く
一人ぽっちの夜

一人ぽっちの夜

TRANSLATION：
I look up when I walk down, down the street all alone.
So tears will not wet my cheeks as I walk along.
I remember the spring days I spent with you,
But now every night I'm left all alone.

I look up when I walk down, down the street all alone.
I count the blurry stars with my tearful eyes.
I remember the summer days I spent with you,
But now every night I'm left all alone.

I hope for happiness beyond the clouds.
I hope for happiness high up in the sky.

I look up when I walk down, down the street all alone.
So tears will not wet my cheeks as I walk along.
With tears in my eyes, I walk along；
I walk along the street all alone.

(Whistling...)

I remember the autumn days I spent with you,
But now every night I'm left all alone.

I hope my sorrows will go beyond the stars.
I hope my sorrows will go beyond the moon.

I look up when I walk down, down the street all alone.
So tears will not wet my cheeks as I walk along.
With tears in my eyes, I walk along；
I walk along the street all alone.

I walk along the street all alone.

Hope u liked it!(^_^) / K-chan signs out!

もし私が「戦争の子」だったら

Hey everyone! less than 30 hours for the contest to come! =D
interested in knowing my speech topic? well here it is.
(first in japanese then scroll down for english Translation)

日本語：

『もし、私が戦争の子だったら』

みなさんも　ごぞんじのように、ヨルダンは中東にあって、

戦争をしているいろいろな国に囲まれています。

でも、ヨルダン人として、私はヨルダンのような平和な国に生きていることを幸せに思います。

しかし、もし、そうじゃなかったら。

もし、私が戦争をしている国に生まれたら。

もし、私が戦争を見て育った子供だったら…。

…私が、今、平和に暮らしているのは、ほんの偶然かもしれません。

そう思って、私は、スピーチのテーマを選びました。

この中東世界は、本当に複雑だと思います。

長い間、争いが続いています。

正義という名のため、憎しみのため、復讐のため、あるいは特に理由もなく、

毎日たくさんの人が、殺され、傷つけられています。

もし、私が、このような戦争しかないようなところに生まれていたら、

今の私は どうなっていたでしょう。

私は、想像してみます。

「もし、私が戦争の子だったら」。

「戦争の子」の私は言います。

とても楽しかった、戦争前は。

でも、戦争が始まって、全てが変わってしまった。

私は、最後に　いつ両親に会ったのか、覚えていない。

両親が、今、まだ生きているのかどうかもわからない。

ずっと「学校にもどりたい」と思っていた。でも、学校は、もうない。

私は、両親にほめられたくて、いっしょうけんめい勉強した。

でも、今は自分の名前をどう書くか、それも忘れてしまった。

私はいつも、明るい太陽の下で、花いっぱいの公園で、

走り回って遊んでいた。

でも、今は、太陽は爆弾の煙で見えない。

公園は、地雷でいっぱいだ。

私は、今、爆弾や敵から逃げるために、走り回っている。

親のない子供たちは、捕まえられて、戦争のために働かされている。

私たちは、爆弾を運べと、命令される。

命令に従わないと、殺される。

たくさんの子供が 殺された。

私は たくさんの血を 見た。

温かいベッドは、もうない。

私(わたし)は、爆弾(ばくだん)の音(おと)を 聞きながら(ききながら)、寒さ(さむさ)にふるえて、眠(ねむ)ることができない。

私(わたし)は、いつも　おなかが 空いて(すいて)いる。

…ここまで想像(そうぞう)して、私(わたし)は、本当(ほんとう)に 怖く(こわく)なってしまいました。

どうして、私(わたし)は、爆弾(ばくだん)を 運ばなければ(はこばなければ) ならないのでしょう。

どうして、私(わたし)は、戦って(たたかって)、血だらけ(ちだらけ)に ならなければ ならないのでしょう。

どうして、私(わたし)の学校(がっこう)は、なくなってしまったんでしょう。

どうして、私(わたし)は、友達(ともだち)を殺されなければ(ころされなければ)ならないのでしょう。

どうして、私(わたし)は、もう両親(りょうしん)に会えない(あえない)のでしょう。

私(わたし)は、生き延びる(いきのびる)ことが できるのでしょうか。

明日(あした)は どうなってしまうのでしょうか。

私(わたし)は、戦争(せんそう)がきらいです。

私(わたし)は「もし、私(わたし)が戦争(せんそう)の子(こ)だったら」と、想像(そうぞう)してみましたが、

ヨルダンの周り(まわり)の国(くに)では、本当(ほんとう)にこんな子供(こども)たちがたくさんいます。

戦争(せんそう)は、子供(こども)たちから笑顔(えがお)や夢(ゆめ)をうばい、

代わりに(かわりに)、恐れ(おそれ)と、涙(なみだ)と、憎しみ(にくしみ)をあたえます。

とても悲しい(かなしい)ことです。

私(わたし)は、偶然(ぐうぜん)ヨルダンに生まれて(うまれて)、幸せ(しあわせ)に暮らして(くらして)います。

でも、偶然(ぐうぜん)イラクやパレスチナに生まれた(うまれた)子供(こども)たちは、爆弾(ばくだん)の中(なか)で生きて(いきて)います。

私(わたし)は、自分(じぶん)が ただラッキー(らっきー)だったと 思いたく(おもいたく)ありません。

私(わたし)だって、「戦争(せんそう)の子(こ)」だったかもしれないし、

私(わたし)の子ども(こども)たちが「戦争(せんそう)の子(こ)」になるかもしれません。

私(わたし)だけでなく、ここにいる皆さん(みなさん)も、「戦争(せんそう)の子(こ)」だったかもしれないのです。

私たち(わたしたち)はみんな、「もし、自分(じぶん)が戦争(せんそう)の子(こ)だったら」と、

想像(そうぞう)してみなければならないと思います(おもいます)。

私たち(わたしたち)は、平和(へいわ)な生活(せいかつ)を願って(ねがって)います。

平和(へいわ)は、みんなが平等(びょうどう)にシェアするものです。

そして、世界(せかい)で起こって(おこって)いる不幸(ふこう)も、みんなでシェアするべきだと私(わたし)は思います(おもいます)。

そうでなければ、本当(ほんとう)に平和(へいわ)になりません。

不幸(ふこう)も希望(きぼう)も、みんながシェアすること、

それが、本当(ほんとう)の平和(へいわ)への道(みち)なのではないでしょうか。

ENGLISH:

If I was a child of war

As everyone knows, being part of the Middle East, Jordan has always been surrounded by a lot of countries that are facing struggles because of wars.
And being Jordanian, I say that we are blessed to be living in such a peaceful country.

But what if this wasn’t the case. What if I was born in a country having war?

What if I was a child who was brought up watching war?

I wonder if the fact that I’m living in peace now was a coincidence.

..Thinking of that, I chose my speech theme.

Our Middle East world is really complicated.

Since a long time, It always had a lot of conflicts and struggles.

Everyday we see a lot of people who are killed or live through pain for the sake of hatred, revenge, or even for no reason.

If I was born in a place that knew nothing but wars, what would I have become now?

I am going to try and imagine that.

If I was a child of war

I -as the child of war- will speak.

It was so fun, the times we had before the war.

But now, everything changed.

I don’t remember when the last time I saw my parents was. I wonder if they are still alive.

I always think that I want to go back to school, but the school is not there anymore.

I loved my school and did my best studying, so my parents can be proud of me.
But now, I even forgot how to write my name.

I always used to play & run under the shiny sun in parks planted with flowers.

But now I can’t see the shiny sun because of the smoke of the bombs, parks are planted with mines, and I’m always running away for my life from the enemy and from bombs.

Children who have no parents were caught and were forced to work for war.

We are forced to carry bombs and we only have to follow orders. If we don’t, we’ll be killed…A lot of kids were killed

I saw a lot of blood…

My warm fluffy bed isn’t there anymore.

We always sleep under the cold sky with the scary sounds of bombs and war alarms.

Even food isn’t enough. We are always hungry.

…what I have imagined so far really made me scared!

Why am I forced to carry weapons?

Why do I have to fight and stain my hands with blood?

Why was my school destroyed?

Why were my friends killed?

Why won’t I see my parents again?

Will I survive? What will happen tomorrow?

I hate war.

I tried to imagine being a “child of war”, but in countries around Jordan a lot of those children do exist in reality.

Wars steal innocent smiles and dreams from children and replace them with tears, fear and hatred.

It’s really such a very sad reality.

I happened to be born in Jordan; I’m living a peaceful life.

But those children who happened to be born in Iraq or Palestine are growing between struggles and bombs.

I don’t want to just consider myself lucky. I could have happened to be a child of war too, even my children could become children of war. It’s not just me; everyone here could have been a child of war.

I think we all have to imagine being children of war ourselves.

We are all hoping for peaceful lives. I believe that peace must be shared equally by all. Also, disasters that occur in our world must be shared by all.

If this wasn’t done, we will never reach peace.

Hard times, as well as Hope, both must be shared equally between all.

This is the true way towards peace.

Hope you liked it! (^_^) i'll just do my best n what ever the result was, i already won just by going through the experience and improved my japanese!! \(^o^)/
JA NE~!
