はじめましょう。
I have this not very wacky but not very crazy either idea.
Why don't all of you, yes, all of us, yes, all 一年生 give us their blog address so we can put the links up here?
We'll be popular if we visit our blogs, no?
Just in this community, but still!
Yes i am in desperate need of people visiting P.A.N.D.A.
WHY AREN'T YOU PEOPLE VISITING THIS BLOG?!
Ehem. Thank you.

Wednesday, July 23, 2008
I am bored, and so are you.
はじめましょう。
I got a little bit upset when ロウ先生 said that たんぽぽ is dandelion. And I got upset even more when she said it is a freaking lalang.
'We must use names of flowers that uses ひらがな in it. Like it or not たんぽぽ is just fine.'
Yeah, so fine that it takes you an hour just to write the whole thing in かん字.
It sounds worse in English. WEED.
Ugh.
Did you ever notice the banner of this blog? The easiest class name to write in かん字 is さくら. Heck, it's the shortest class name even in ひらがな!
And notice how short 二年生のクラスの名前 are. そら（空）、にじ（虹）、ほし（星）.
This is an ultimate discrimination. We should have the names of nature also or something. 「山」 とか、「くも」 とか、「海」 とか。
まあ、「春」、「秋」、「冬」、「夏」 なら もっと いい でしょう？
Dang it. They should've used names of seasons.
OK. Instead of looking at the bad side, let's see what specialty do the flowers have to offer to us.
- Dandelion/たんぽぽ
Flowers can be used to make wine; leaves are edible and good for digestion; roots sometimes used as coffee substitute,
I am so...proud. I should go eat dandelions and lose weight now.
- Cherry Blossom/さくら
After reading Wikipedia, cherry blossom brings no benefit to people, not even...nothing. Although you will feel good and tranquilised and relaxed when picnicking under a blooming cherry blossom tree.
‐ Sunflower/ひまわり
Kuaci, peanut butter alternative, used together with rye flour to make Sonnenblumenkernbrot (literally: sunflower whole seed bread) which is quite popular in
German-speaking Europe, sold as food for birds and can be used directly in cooking and salads, used for cooking, as a carrier oil and to produce margarine as well as biodiesel, the cake remaining after the seeds have been processed for oil is used as a livestock feed.....
Go Wiki for it. It annoys me ひまわり has that many benefits to mankind.
‐ Hydrangea/Hortensia/あじさい
Hydrangeas are moderately toxic if eaten, with all parts of the plant containing cyanogenic glycosides. However, poisoning is rare, as the plant does not look like an enticing food source.
In Korean tea, Hydrangea serrata (hangul:산수국 hanja:山水菊) is used for an herbal tea called ilsulcha (이슬차).
Hydrangea paniculata is sometimes smoked to produce cannabis-like effects.
Ok somehow that is slightly not good. Now that you know it, don't go smoke Hydrangea.
(Courtesy of Wikipedia, almost all of them)
Now that i am slightly relieved and thankful that 先生方 gave the name たんぽぽ, let's move on to popularity of the flowers in other...stuff.

- Dandelion/たんぽぽ
Flowers can be used to make wine; leaves are edible and good for digestion; roots sometimes used as coffee substitute,
The dandelion is approved by the Commission E for dyspeptic, liver and gallbladder complaints, infections of the urinary tract, and loss of appetite. Other unproven uses include treatment of disturbances in bile flow, inflammation of the efferent urinary tract, dyspepsia, hemorrhoids, congestion in the portal system, gout, rheumatic disorders, eczema and other skin disorders.
The dandelion is considered to be very safe and sometimes carries the slang term, “pee in the bed,” referring to its diuretic ability in increasing water and waste products in the urine. Dandelion has a high potassium content and replaces potassium lost in normal urine secretion, leading to a net gain in potassium levels; this fact is worthy of note because that is not the case with the use of over-the-counter diuretics.
Dandelions are also thought to be effective in helping to ease the ailments of many other conditions including herpes, genital warts, and even obesity. Studies on both rats and humans that involved injecting them with dandelion have resulted in them losing up to 30% of their body weight.I am so...proud. I should go eat dandelions and lose weight now.

七夕。
はじめましょう。
ほんとう に ごめん ね、みなさん。I am getting lazier by the...
Maybe it's my A.D.D., maybe.
Updates on 七夕, the grrreatest 日本じじょう we've learnt so far.
Ah, the first actually but whatever.
七夕 is a day... according to Wikipedia, a day where people 'celebrates the meeting of Orihime (Vega) and Hikoboshi (Altair). The Milky Way, a river made from stars that crosses the sky, separates these lovers, and they are allowed to meet only once a year on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month of the lunisolar calendar. Since the stars come out at night, the celebration is held at night.'
Exactly, i am that lazy to the point i copied word to word from Wikipedia. Hey, at least i am not that lazy to put the link straightaway, no?
And i managed to take some(lots-they're-cramming-my-hard-disk-aaaagh) pictures of our きぼう の かみ. Of course lah i didn't took each and every one of them, i don't have loads of free time and so do you.
To the lucky ones, i also managed putting up your きぼう here so i can humiliate you in front of everybody, aahahahaha.
Ehem. Yes, here we...go.
I will, will, will upload almost all of the 七夕 の 写真 as soon as i finish my spaghetti.
Ow-kay, maybe not. Tomorrow. Definitely. Definitely. Defi...
