A Sound That Affects Me -- Shanin Hirakawa

 Today, I'm going to talk about what kind of sounds that I like and dislike. My favorite sounds is my dad's whistle. I like the way he whistle his favorite song when he driving, because It reminds me of the first time I went in a drive with my dad as a child, his whistling was so loud and I made him stop. However, when I grew up a bit, he told me that he whistle when he's in a good mood, so from then on, I realized that when dad whistles, he must be happy. Incidentally, I really dislike the cracking sound during tooth extraction. The reason is that, since I was a child, I've been hated because it feels like my head might come off when pulling my tooth, so this fear has stayed with me until now. That's why I really hate dentist, but It's unavoidable for me now, because I've been wearing braces.

    I really like  the sound of walking on snow which is pilled up. At first, I love the winter the most in four seasons. Also, I rarely saw snow in my hometown which is Fukuoka, in Japan. I don't remember surely, but I could see snow once a year or two years there because the place is relatively warmer than any places of Japan. Thus, I really used to enjoy walking on snow or having a snowball fight in a childhood whenever it snowed. That's why I love the sound.

The surprising origin of 'Hijack - Mika

Image
 "Hijack" refers to the act of unlawfully seizing control, often applied to situations involving transportation such as aircraft or vehicles. In the U.S., there used to be a trend where criminals, pretending to be acquaintances, would approach people and address them with the common American name 'Jack'. It means the origin of hijack from "Hi, Jack". I think it is similar to "OREORE scam", involves criminals impersonating relatives or friends, claiming to be in urgent need, and deceiving individuals into sending them money. The thoughts of a scammer are found to be universal across the world.

  Kapai have several meanings like "Good!", "excellent", "Well done!" or "okay". You can use these expression for conversation to convey positivity and approval. For instance, when appreciating someone's cooking, you could say, " Kai kapai" to compliment the food. By adding "kai" at the top word of "kapai", it means "good food" or "tasty food".
