Happy Birthday!

I'm excited about celebrating your birthday by preparing a meal for you. Knowing your love for your mum's lasagna, I reached out to her for the recipe and dedicated the past week to mastering it. How about I whip it up for you this upcoming Saturday? I can time it to be fresh before I leave my place or, if you prefer, I could prepare it at your house. Let me know your preference! Alternatively, if you're not in the mood for lasagna, I could make Hot Pot instead. What do you think?

Lots of love,

Ash

I will be observing fishes in an aquarium within my underwater house, which will be located in the "ER33N XOX" ocean on a new planet.

I will be using contacts that will put me in the point of view of a fish for a realistic experience.

I will be wearing a high-tech suit which will make me feel like a fish while I watch them.

People around my house will be doing the same since social media would have stopped existing and all humans collectively would choose to become fishes.

1. In New Guinea, more languages are spoken than in any other country.

2. In India, more books are read per year than in any other country.

3. In China, more tea is drunk than in any other country.

4. In Switzerland, more chocolate is eaten than in any other country.

5. In the USA, television is watched more than in any other country.

In 50 years' time, I'll be sixty something. I don't think I could do anything in particular. I will surely be getting a robot to do everything in the house. I might have been married by then, so I'll be driving around town with my grandson or if not, I would be living in either Paris or Switzerland, adopting two cats. I'll feed all other cats in the neighborhood as well, as my job for the rest of my life.

I will be turning 66 years old in 50 years. I would probably retire from my own business. As a lover of nature, I will be living in a pretty town called Castle Combe, which is located in the United Kingdom. I will open a coffee shop with my partner. We will be running a small, relaxing coffee shop. Near the coffee shop, there will be a garden where my grandchildren can enjoy their precious time playing and learn to love nature. I will be wearing a long dress when taking care of the coffee shop. Every weekend, my children and my grandchildren will be visiting us and we will be serving them delicious cake with warm coffee. My grandchildren will be getting warm milk instead of coffee. If the life that I dream of becomes true, I will never forget to capture every single moment.

How's everything? Anyway I have got a part-time job in McDdonald's as a waiter. It was pretty fine for a couple of days. But later, It is turned upside down.

Customers were very disrespectful and complained for a small mistake. When they called a manager and reported about everything, he told me not to go until evening and do all dishes which I didnt even get paid for extra-works. Even worse, I didn't get weelky-salary. They made dumb excuses and moved to next week to pay me.

I want to quit this job. Do you have any jobs that I could work. Let me know if you got one.

I appreciate your help

What's up? I just got into a new part-time job at a nearby cafe which I thought would be nice but I definately thought wrong. The manager is going to be the strictest person, not even as a manager, as a person I will ever encounter in my life. He has an eye on me every single moment I serve the customers as if he's trying to fire me even if I made the smallest mistake. He is foul-mouthed as well. Not only to me, girl, also to the customers! A couple of days ago when the customers complained about him being rude to her, he literally went crazy and to be honest, he should be the one who's fired.

Anyway, what should I do? I don't think I should leave the job but you know I'm bad at communicating in these situations. Or if you know any other part-time jobs that's available, let me know.

Lots of love,

Mirina

The journey that will always be in my mine is Yangon to Mandalay.That is the most amazing and most memorable journey, because that is my very first journey to go alone.I went to Mandalay by travel bus which is pretty enjoyable and you can see the view.I went there to see my friends and some of my relatives cause we didn't meet for three years.We were missing each other so we spend so many wonderful time together, talking back about our past and our plans for future.I got a chance to be in touch with culture and tradition of Mandalay.And some different things between Yangon and Mandalay.I enjoyed this journey so much and never ever forget.

Remember the time I told you about my part-time job at the new clothing store? I told you it was fun assisting customers and sharing outfit ideas with them but lately, I'm not enjoying it as much.

The amount of bossy shoppers I have to deal with every day is intolerable. They always pout and complain, acting like kids when I don't have what they want. I still want to work in clothing businesses but I don't see any offers around.

I need some of your tips for patience, just in case I have to stick around.

Love, Su

It was the summer of 2017 and my family decided to visit Kalaw for the first time. The idea came from my mom, who saw pictures of the gorgeous sceneries of Kalaw on Facebook. So we prepared for our five-hour car ride from Naypyidaw to Kalaw.

When we first arrived, I was sleepy, but as soon as the most refreshing and coolest air hit my face, I instantly knew where I was. I got up and saw the most breathtaking sight ever; tall pine trees on both sides of the road with sunset approaching. It was the golden hour and for a moment I felt like I was in a movie. The rest of the trip was amazing; we tried different cuisines and met wonderful people.

Even now, seven years later, it remains my favorite journey. I can't wait to go back when I have time and experience it all over again.

One day, my mother got a job in Taunggyi when I was 10. She and I took a bus to there where we had to passed through hundred of miles. While the bus was driving on the mountain I took a look outside and It was spectacular that i saw massive cloud covering the green forest. Monkeys following to us by climbing one tree to other. Children playing on the fields while their parents harvesting the nutritious crops which seemed to be peaceful. And other people dancing like a flower blooming.

The most thing I want to ride in that city is tricycle. There is nothing peaceful and enjoyable than riding a tricycle around the city.

There are many reason why people do less walking or cycling. The main issue is that there are no road for cycling, Instead people have been focusing on building routes for transportation such as cars, buses and trains. As there are many paths to drive, more cars have been used which is difficult to walk when people crossing one side to other. In addition, some cars are parked on the sidewalks.

If more people walk or cycle, There will be of course less pollution and no traffic jam. Therefore it is great for human's health.

How’s everything going? For me, I’m doing pretty good. I want to leave my part-time job which I started one month ago. I worked as a barista. But the co-workers from that café are not good at cooperating. That became the problem. As it’s difficult to communicate with them, I feel uneasy about continuing the job. I really want to quit this job and find a new one. But, it won’t be that easy to get a new job for me. Do you think it’s the right decision to leave the job? I’ll be waiting for your advice.

Best wishes,

May

How's everything going on? I have got a new part-time job in a Korean restaurant as a waitress. I was happy to work at first and it was so fun and I enjoyed but when it goes for a month, it changed to the opposite.

Customers were very rude and disrespectful to me. I told it to my manager and she didn't even respond to that. So I complained to her and I said I wanna quit. She said I can't quit until the month ended, and if I quit she won't give me any salary.

I just wanna quit this job but it's so hard to find a new one for a student. I need your advice, should I quit or not?

Love,

Tess

When I went to Japan, I didn’t expect to go to Mount Fuji. But luckily, I heard our tourist guide saying we are going to Mount Fuji. I still remember that I couldn’t stop smiling because of the excitement to go to the place where I’ve been dreaming of. Our team went up with the bus. Along the path where the bus goes through, there is a forest. Our tourist guide said that they call it “Suicide Forest.” As soon as we arrived at the top of the mountain, we went to the souvenir shop. I bought some gifts for my friend. I still have a key chain which I bought there. Even though it wasn’t snowing, the weather was freezing. But I did enjoy the journey.

I can’t believe that it was from five years ago. This journey will be unforgettable as the precious moments were not only captured on the camera, but also in my heart. If I get a chance to go back there, I will accept the offer without hesitation and relive the moments again.

I hope you are doing fine these days. Do you still remember I told you I got a part time job at a diner? Well, things were going excellent for first few days but as time goes on, I feel like my coworkers are looking down on me. Even if I do my jobs properly, they always talk behind my back some unacceptable facts. And I don’t enjoy working in this kind of environment as it would not have any benefits on me. So, what do you think I should do? I need your suggestion

With loves, Scarlet

There may not be many places or countries that I've been to but one-month trip to Singapore will be the most memorable journey of mine. I was around 9 and it was also the first time to travel abroad without my parents. We went there by plane at 4 am from Yangon if I'm not mistaken. To be frank, it was not easy for me due to the fact that I will be in a foreign country without my parents for 30 days and being on the plane for the first time. However, the trip has to be the most fun and experienced one. The whole month felt like heaven since all we did was visiting different famous places. If not, we would walk at the park and play. I thought I would feel awful and lonely but it was the opposite. When I realized I had to come back to Myanmar in weeks, I cried. I sobbed every time it got inside my head.

Even though Singapore is not my dream country, I would love to revisit there someday.

It's been a long time we haven't meet each other. How's everything going? Now I would like to know you that I had got a new part- time job last month. I was a bit nervous on the first day, but the owner helped me a lot. I am working at the small plants shop as a gardener. I have to feed the plants fertilizer and take care of them. In the evening, I need to be watering them and keep them in the cool place. I fond of working at that shop due to the smell of plants and healthy green color. I love nature and plants, so I relish take care of them. You can come and looking around that shop any time. Love to see you soon.

I'll get up, a blanket draped over my shoulders, and go to free my Roomba. Afterward, I'll head to my study. There will be a pile of books, papers, and general clutter all over my desk and the floor. I'll sigh and tell myself I'll clean it another day.

I take a seat at my desk, open a drawer, and pull out a small journal I got when I was 11 years old. I'll flip through the pages, worn with time, and read about every bad moment I've had. I'll laugh, knowing the world didn't end at sixteen. I'll take a deep breath, and I'll be okay.

How have you been? We haven't spoken in forever. I hope work hasn't been too stressful. Speaking of work, I got a job at a local bakery. It's small, cozy, and almost homely. It's a family business. The owners are an old couple in their seventies, and the manager is their daughter, who looks like she's in her mid-thirties. The owners are nice, but I can't say the same for their daughter. I primarily work at the register, but due to understaffing, I often end up helping in the kitchen, it's inconvenient and not what I signed up for, but I can deal with it. What I can't deal with is the manager's nitpicking. She said the way I count money isn't efficient and spent ten minutes lecturing me. There have been many instances where she'd give unnecessary lectures to the staff.

Today was the final straw. She yelled at my coworker and me for an hour because we hadn’t prepared batter—something we weren’t even instructed to do. She told us to "shape up" and that we "hurt the business," and she'd be cutting our pay for it. Mind you, my coworker and I do not work in the kitchen and were not told to prepare batter. It's ridiculous. I’m planning to quit, but I want to ensure I get my due pay first. Should I address this with the manager directly or take it up with the owners? I’d really appreciate your advice on how to handle this situation.

With Love,

Saung
