She is found to be in the fifth grade. I have expected that she is in the elementary
school. However, I was slightly shocked from the fact that her father is 36, her mother is 33 and her grandmother
is 56.
Licca-chan has such a family structure. The
other day I happened to find this tweet in her official Twitter.
"Canard jaw, live chicken"
As a matter of fact, she was a blogger
around 2007. The content sounded to be very outlandish; taking a picture with pig heads.
I tried in vain to find out her official
blog with expectation. She seems to use the social networking site Twitter now.
Then, I visited her site on Twitter.
Licca-chan Official Site:
I’m
going to have my favorite, a big macaron in my tea time today!
Everybody,
why don’t you have a brief break with sweets?
Checking the Twitter, I have discovered an
interesting project.
During summer, I’m going to carry out “Let’s
have a counseling session with Licca campaign.” Please follow Licca (@bonjour_licca)
and tweet to what you want to counsel with me at “”#Counsel with Licca.”
I might give advice?! I’m waiting for your inquiry.
Surprisingly, a campaign
was carried out, where you can seek advice from Licca on twitter. Regrettably, the campaign was over on August 31. I wonder what kind
of questions followers asked Licca (5th grader). Let’s see ithem.
Q: The
person I like pays no attention to me.
Is it all right to induce him to marry me because I want to be happy?
All of a sudden, a serious question is asked. It is a tough question to answer it. I,
though a grown up, also have difficulty in answering it. I wonder how Licca-chan,
a 5th grader, will answer it.
Licca-chan: I’ m still not sure of the answer. It is often said that
“marriage is
not the gold but a starting point.”
Being happy after marriage depends on
mutual efforts, I think.
How awesome! It’s precise advice which can be hardly
expected to be given by a pupil in the elementary school. Although she
says at the beginning of her answer: “Licca, I’ m still not sure of the answer,”
this is the “answer indicating that she knows everything.”
Subsequently, Licca gives sound advice to questions from followers one after another.
Q: Licca-chan, what do you want to try this
summer? I want to try cooking.
Licca-chan: I want to challenge yoga, for I have a stiff body.
Licca-chan is good with jokes, too
Q: Recently my legs are terribly swollen.
In the evening my legs are a memory pillow.
What should I do if I want to have
beautiful legs like yours?
Licca-chan: Avoid eating hot or strong-tasting food. Pass out of the body waste
products,
extra water and toxins. Try to eat cucumbers, bananas or apples.
Licca-san is familiar with detox, too.
Q: What shall I do to make myself a beloved
woman?
Licca-chan: First of all, love others.
“To
become a beloved woman, you should love others fist.” (11 years of age)
Q: There is a person I like. But I’m too
shy to talk to him.
Licca-chan: Shyness comes from motivation to hide real feelings.
In an opposite
manner, confess to him: “I can’t speak well because I feel tense,”
and you
could feel released. He might think that you are so cute.
Licca-san has reached the level of professional counsellor on love advice.
Licca-chan: According to a person named Jean de La Bruyerre,
a person falls in love
only once. It is “first love.” How romantic!
She is completely
above me in terms of knowledge level.
Like this, official Twitter of Licca,
eternally 11-year-old girl, is full of instructive rule of life. I want to
secretly follow her from now on.
