My first meal of the day is supposed to happen after 11 am because I follow intermittent fasting, but I am extremely hungry now!😭🤣 I've been managing the hunger by sipping coffee. I guess I walked a lot last night for the first time in a while, is that why?! My sleep wasn't enough and I feel a bit sleepy, but I feel the greatest I have in a while!✨☺️ How are you, everyone? What did you eat?! Please eat well and make me jelly!!😭🥰 おはようございます。めちゃくちゃお腹が空いています。Intermittent fastingをしているので、あと2時間は食べれません😭。ブラックコーヒーで空腹を耐え忍んでいます。皆さんは何か美味しいものを食べましたか？😭😭😭 **Language**: Japanese **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://cdn-global.hellotalk8.com/ht-global-1312929133/mmnt/2/250827/0/141532055/0/0/b8b2c16e-6b7f-47b8-8e62-4ac23674e618.aac) *15 likes · 7 comments · 152 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/u5MEJKLMDOnNHD.md) --- ## 2. 8/26/2025 I got a phone call from the number starting with 1-811-. I usually don’t answer any phone calls from unknown numbers and just let them leave a voicemail; they must leave one if they really need to say something important to me, right?☺️ So, this caller left me an automatic recording in my voicemail. It claimed to be from NTT, saying I owed them money and that they were going to take legal action. I haven’t used any services of NTT since the late 1990s🤔😂. This is apparently a fraud. If they really take legal action, they should send me a notification by mail, not a phone call. These kinds of scam calls have been very common in Japan for the past 10 years or so, so please be careful. I strongly recommend you shouldn’t answer phone calls from unknown numbers either; they are making lists of who is more responsive. Just ignoring is the safest option. **Language**: English *18 likes · 226 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/H3nPMORzPGJNHD.md) --- ## 3. 8/24/2025 おはようございます…！ 2時間半しか寝てません😂, but I'm wide awake! lol 昨晩ボイスルームでお話して下さった皆さん、本当にどうもありがとうございました✨☺️. 繰り返し画面がフリーズして退室することになってしまい、本当にごめんなさい😭. これに懲りずにまた仲良くして下さると嬉しいです✨☺️. またお話できるのを楽しみにしています。 I couldn't sleep again… I went for a night walk, but the 1.5-hour walk didn't make me tired enough to fall asleep. However, joining a voiceroom and chatting with good folks made me feel relaxed enough to be sleepy.😴 Sorry, my phone acted up twice and forced me to leave! Thank you so much for letting me join.✨☺️ I hope to talk to you guys again very soon. Here are the words I tried to type and explain (and ended up closing the app, lol) last night: 脳味噌（のうみそ） 癒し系（いやしけい） 草食系（そうしょくけい）、草食系男子（そうしょくけいだんし） Thank you guys for reaching out and showing your concern about my sleep.💓 I'm trying to improve my sleep, but it's not easy! 😵‍💫🫥 I hope you guys continue to support me and help me relax enough to sleep! 😂😭💗🥰 **Language**: Japanese **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://cdn-global.hellotalk8.com/ht-global-1312929133/mmnt/2/250824/0/141532055/0/0/f492ede0-7e8f-4c75-a7d7-16ab14f676c8.aac) *19 likes · 2 comments · 333 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/DIIyuERcuUBNHD.md) --- ## 4. 8/23/2025 Thank you so much for connecting with me!✨☺️ It’ll be a year in two months since I joined HT. I was too afraid to speak English when I started, but now I'm brave enough to host a voiceroom.😂 It's all thanks to your help and friendship. I really appreciate it. Thank you.✨🥰 だからナニという感じですが、100 Following 100 Followers という数字が好きだったので記録のモーメントです、笑笑 あと2ヶ月でHTを始めて1年に！あっというま過ぎて信じられません。始めた頃は、まったくスピーキングができなかったし、自分の英語力に自信がなさすぎて、誰かと話をすること自体が恐怖でした。でも今や、ボイスルームをホストするほど大胆不敵になりました🤣（必ずしもスピーキング能力は高くなっていない）。皆さん、これからも仲良くして下さると嬉しいです。今後ともよろしくお願いいたします✨☺️。 **Language**: Japanese **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://cdn-global.hellotalk8.com/ht-global-1312929133/mmnt/2/250823/0/141532055/0/0/5a28bda6-7db1-424d-907a-2c05701d82ed.aac) *21 likes · 6 comments · 210 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/FWFUWbvDFOBNHD.md) --- ## 5. 8/23/2025 Mmmmm, social media is dangerous. Now that I've seen a photo of my HT friend's birthday cake, I'm seriously craving some!!!!!!!! 🤣😭😭😭🤣🤣 Welp, I've been successfully sober from it since July 13th! Mmm, I should make a compromise and have my special pancake for brunch. 😭😋 Happy Birthday! ✨💓🎂🥂✨🥰 **Language**: English *21 likes · 3 comments · 156 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/V2pyMaAzuEBNHD.md) --- ## 6. 8/21/2025 Hello world. 👀 I changed my sleeping schedule and am aiming to sleep between midnight and 6 am, but it’s still hard to fall asleep. I wake up a few times a night and get up too early. This morning, I woke up at 4:30 am after a few wakings and gave up on returning to sleep. I suffered from extremely severe insomnia for 3 years in the past and know very well how bad for health being sleep-deprived is. I developed insomnia again a couple of months ago, and it’s not as bad as the previous one, but still, I want to improve my sleep as soon as I can. I’m wondering if I should cut off half of my caffeine consumption.🤔 How's your sleep? 皆さんおはようございます。こんにちは、こんばんは 👀。また夜寝付けなくなってきたので、就寝時間を2時間遅い時間にシフトしたのですが(12am - 6am)、それでもなかなか寝付けないし、何度も目が覚めるし、めちゃくちゃ朝早く目が覚めます。かつて3年間患った重度の不眠症と比べたら全然マシなのですが、睡眠不足がいかに健康に悪いかは経験済みなので、できるだけ早く睡眠を改善したいと思っています。まずは、カフェイン摂取量を半分にしてみようかなと思っています。皆さんはよく眠れていますか？ **Language**: Japanese **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://cdn-global.hellotalk8.com/ht-global-1312929133/mmnt/2/250821/0/141532055/0/0/d4e734a3-b104-427d-8d5e-952b8ff5e628.aac) *17 likes · 1 comments · 296 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/xUnKrLMRIITNHD.md) --- ## 7. 8/20/2025 Hello! I’m looking for language exchange partners who can do it in my evenings, sometime: between 4pm to 6pm JST or between 9pm to 11pm JST. 🌚Possible disadvantages for you: I’m as old as your parents or older for most HTers, so it may be hard to find common topics to chat in case you prefer free conversations without any structures. 🌝Possible benefits for you: I used to work as a tutor Japanese children privately and at cram schools in my 20s and also tutor English speaking people in Japanese in my 30s. I have no certificates, but I have some experiences in tutoring. Especially if you’re a serious learner, I believe you can benefit from language exchange with me. If you’re interested, please leave a comment or message me. 🪺To my followers🐣: I have done language exchange things with few of you! If you’re interested, please feel free to contact me. Please don’t be shy.😁 **Language**: English *19 likes · 11 comments · 411 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/V0SjSUINAvTNHD.md) --- ## 8. 8/20/2025 My mental state really affects my English ability; for example, I recorded some voice messages in English last night, and my English in all of them was totally broken.😂 I never say that my English is fine as long as my mental state is okay, but I really didn’t make sense; my grammar was even more all over the place, and my pronunciation was worse than ever. This morning, my coffee in my favorite mug was gone somewhere. I had been sipping it just 30 minutes before I found it gone, and I couldn’t find it after my 30-minute search. I almost cried, 😂 and asked my husband for help, but neither of us could find it. I was totally exhausted mentally and thought, “WTF?! Why all of a sudden is my coffee gone?! 😭😭😭” lol! I got a bit panicked.😂 When I started to cook brunch, I found it in the microwave.💀💀💀 Yeah, I guess my life really needs a break. I’ve been totally wrecked. Sorry there's nothing cheerful I can offer. I hope you find it really funny that I cried over the missing coffee.😂 **Language**: English *20 likes · 4 comments · 220 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/p1M0FKtNAETNHD.md) --- ## 9. 8/20/2025 I’ve been getting a lot more visits from Japanese HTers over the past couple of weeks, but how are they finding me? I rarely got visits from them before, so it’s making me wonder what's changed all of a sudden.🤔 **Language**: English *16 likes · 226 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/HLMbHQA5ZkTNHD.md) --- ## 10. 8/20/2025 信じられんのやけど、もう1時ってどういうこと？？？？ まったく眠くない。やばい😂😂😂 こういう時に限って誰も（ランゲージパートナーの人たちが）ボイスルームやってない。気を遣うような気持ちの余裕はないので、できれば既にある程度話をしている人たちと話せたらいいんだけど、私のタイムゾーンに近い人たちは寝てるし、アメリカの人は仕事だよね😂😂😂 ヨーロピアン、カモン！！！ **Language**: Japanese *11 likes · 7 comments · 239 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/xDHzuwHNuJPNHD.md) --- [View all moments on HelloTalk](https://www.hellotalk.com/partners/v_shiba1/moments.md) [Back to shiba兄貴's profile](https://www.hellotalk.com/partners/v_shiba1.md) --- ## Language Exchange Partners -
