If the sky is lively blue, then it's all yours, so smile and enjoy it and forget the rest for a while.

I'm new here, nice to see some English speakers here.

There's nothing I can do about it, huh? ok..

no, not ok. I'll try not to stressed out, but just I have to control myself now.

Things have changed.. That site is moderated by the users…

Yeah, the English version of Hatena Haiku shut down a couple months ago. Some people migrated to the Japanese version, others just left altogether.

I see..

Actually I am also having difficulty posting on haiku recently sometimes and that happens quite often.. the system often suspect me as a robot or something.. ><

I have a couple of.. maybe just one..? haiku friend who writes in English and (s)he seems to be still writing at full power though..? :)

English Haiku shutdown? I didn't know that..

It seems like many people have left since the English Haiku shutdown -_-
Is anybody even here anymore?

I'm finding StackExchange/ell quite cozy these days..

It won't let me use this site in the American / united Kingdom /Canadian version what happened to it.

Who could imagine such a thing that the very people would be receiving condolences just a month later then..

It's a nice language.

I got the small Lulu's chocolate bar today. I picked the "Smoked Sea Salt Almond" but it didn't tasted like "smoked" or "salt" at all. It even had a little fruit-like sourness and had many nuts in it. Not sure if they were really almonds.. I am very skeptical about it because the other day I happened to learn about the one with maca in it with 50% cacao when I picked the darkest one. lol

Before I moved to Japan, I thought that it would be more common to find younger Japanese that knew English. However, after I moved here, I find that it is more common for older Japanese to know English. Not what I expected at all!
