  1. My life is ordinary because everyday I can eat meal which my mother makes with my family, take a bath, and communicate with my friends. Even if I am not in my home town like now, all of these things unchangeably happen to me. Sometimes I think my life is remarkable because unpredictable things happen. In my case, my sweet pet was dead a few years ago. The other thing is that my father has been sick for almost 1 year. This is the most painful incident for my life. However, now I don't feel sad because there are many people who support me and make me laugh such as my friends like you, my parents and sisters. Life is fun because there are two sides in my life, which are ordinary and unpredictable life.

    1. Hi Mone!
      I became more happier after reading your comment! You have a generous heart in your mind. I agree with your opinion about unpredictable things. I think we sometimes enjoy unpredictable things because it makes us excited! For example, if I go to the downtown and get some problems there, I have to solve them. Through this situation, I can find a new side of myself because it is an improvising! Thank you.

    2. Hi Mone, sometimes to be in an unpredictable situation makes you strong. Because you try to come over that. Maybe it is overwhelming for you but also It's a challenge to be mature and understand the life. For me life is an examination, we have a free-will so we can choose the good one or the bad one . Let's try to choose the right one all the time!

    3. Hi, Mone, thank you for sharing your personal experiences. I hope I can support you as your friend. Absolutely, you support me every time!!
      I agree with you. For me, ordinary life is everyday. Spending time with you in Saint Michael's college already became ordinary life, so if I come back to Japan, I will feel lonely and miss you.

  3. Hello, this is Kaho Ikegami. When I started to live by myself in Tokyo, My life was not ordinary because I had never lived away from my family. I must make meals, wash my clothes and clean my room by myself. These were not ordinary then. I missed my family and friends in my hometown. However, I got accustomed to living by myself, so my life is ordinary now.
    Starting new things is remarkable in my life, but I think new things become ordinary someday.

    1. Hi Kaho, it must be hard to live in a big city by yourself. Well, you are right ! New things become ordinary someday, at this time, to add a color to the life and find a detail then again it is going to be remarkable.

  4. Hi, this is Yoko. There are many things which make my life ordinary, for example, opening the window when I woke up, saying "Good morning!" to my dog and eating breakfast with my family. I do these things almost every day so they are like a habit. Furthermore, I think that my life is remarkable when I try something new. I often go to the restaurant and eat foods which I've never tried before. It makes me happy because I feel that I was able to make my life richer.

    2. Hi, Yoko! I did not know that your are challenging. When I go to the restaurant, I always order same foods. So, I will try something new in the restaurant.

  5. Hi, this is Reyhan. Everyday we eat, speak, walk...so on. They look ordinary. If we think about them deeply, they can turn into extraordinary, remarkable. Such as I like strawberry, orange, apple. These three fruits and all fruits grow up in soil. I don't know that you have ever tried to eat or taste soil before but I did :) It has no taste, no smell like strawberry or orange and its color just brownish, no red, no orange or any. As if it is like a factory, there are lots of machines in it. The electricity of this factory is Sun and the oil of the machines is water. Just put into this factory some seeds and they turn into beautiful, colorful, awesome, tasty fruits, vegetables and flowers...what a factory isn't it? I also can taste by my tongue all of them. These are created just for us. I admire that! In this way the ordinary things turn into something remarkable. These are like miracles for me. In conclusion, something may look ordinary but in fact it is remarkable.

  6. Hi, this is Mone. To Kaho, I agree with your opinion which we can change unordinary life into ordinary life. Someday, I want to live by myself because it will make me independent. Keep up your ordinary life!

  7. Hello, this is Yanyan. My life is ordinary life. Just repeat the same daily everyday, such as getting up, eating meals, coming to school, going home and so on. For some people, the remarkable life is not just the people who has their own successful business. In my opinion, the remarkable life means the people who have a high quality of Life. I also think the people who feel happy in their life that they have the remarkable life.

    1. Hi Yanyan!
      I'm really interested in your way of thinking. I want to know the difference between people who have their own successful business and people who have a high quality of life.

  8. Hi, this is Mone. To Reyhan, your point was very interesting! Unlike Kaho's opinion, you focus on the point to change ordinary life into extraordinary one. Connecting your opinion with Kaho's opinion, life may have two sides which are ordinary and extraordinary life.

  9. Hi. This is Tsubasa.
    For me, thinking makes my life ordinary because I’m a thinker. To keep myself, I always think about something. It is similar to eating lunch, wearing clothes, and sleeping at night. My life becomes remarkable when I found a new viewpoint after considering. Because it gives me broadminded, honest, and gentle heart. I can change myself through thinking. It’s amazing!!

    1. Hi Tsubasa, you wrote that you are a thinker. It is so nice! I like thinking too. One of my hobbies is hiking on top of a mountain and firstly watching the beautiful scenery, just watching with my mind, heart and soul... Then read my book and thinking on it. Tsubasa did you realize that sun, water, soil and seeds are not alive but after "the factory" we get alive plants. If they are not alive how we could get alive plants?
      What an amazing, magnificent thing, right? How could it be? It's another miracle too!
      Keep thinking Tsubasa because there are lots of miracles to find out ...

    2. Your way of thinking is so nice! It's wonderful!
      Like what I said, I cannot explain why something alive can be created with not alive things without the existence of God. It's a miracle!
