Picture

〈Picture4〉They were surprised at certain happening. That happened at 12 o'clock on certain day in spring. There, robber entered into the convenient store, and try to rob money. The clerk was very afraid of that, and she gave money to the robber. But the two brave women who were watching at that fought with him with their stick, and he was held by police officer. So people walking street were vey surprised.
〈Picture3〉They are mother and daughter. Last month, the mother sitting had a traffic accident, and she was unconscios. The daughter was very shocked. The daughter continued taking care of her mother. But a week later, the mother got conscious. So they were walking around together. Then, suddenly the mother said "I'm happy to have a daughter such as you". The doughter was very surprised and happy, so hug with her mother.

Something new

Recently, I spend time normally. Last Wednesday, I watched FNS music festival on TV from start to end. But please don't say "You are a perdon of leisure." Today's theme "Someting new" is little difficult for me. But after entering Kwansei Gakuin University, I experienced many new things. For example, part-time job, class with foreign students, life without club activity, circle activity, and so on. Those new things except part-time job are very nice and thanks to those, I can enjoy my life now. The reason why I said "Those new things except part-time job..." is that I can't enjoy it so much. When I work with college students, I can enjoy that time. But I often feel sad when I mistake or be claimed bad things which I don't mistake. It is enviable that some of my friends can enjoy their part-time job. But I believe that my part-time job will be enjoyable for me someday. I think new things are difficult and stimulative. New things are necessary for our lives.

Travel

Today's blog topic is "travel." Traveling needs much money, but we can make good memories with family or friends.  There are many places which I want to visit not only in Japan but also in the world, and many good places which I visited in the past. My best travel to foreign country is the travel to Guam. I went there with my family. I ate big humburger but I couldn't eat it well. I continued to eat, but finally there were almost no ingredients. It was difficault to eat, but it was so deliscious! We went to shopping mall, and bought many things. For example, clothes, dishes, sweets and so on. I want to go to Italy the best and I want to go to Spain too! Recently, I watched the TV program about Spain. After that, I want to go to Spain someday. There are many beautiful white and blown buildings, big balloon, deliscious food! I want to travel to somewhere in spring vacation♪

Culture

Today, I'm telling about Japanese and foreign culture. A part of Japanese culture I like is that most Japanese people are polite. Of course, there are unreasonable Japanese people, but I believe that there are more polite people than in foreign countries. Some things I don't like about Japanese culture is that people are little less friendly than foreign people. I have one episode about that. When I do part-time job, I must always say "Welcome to our shop" in Japanese. Many foreign guests come to our shop. When I say "Irasshaimase (Welcome to our shop)" to guests, Japanese guests say nothing. But foreign guests give me smile or say to me "Thank you." About a month ago, an Indian stared at me and gave me a wink! I was surprised. I don't know why he gave me a wink, but I think he is maybe very friendly. In conclusion, each countries have each nice culture :)

Autumn

I like autumn the best. The temperature of autumn is very comfortable for me, but I think autumn is short. As soon as I think "Autumn has come", winter comes. I don't like cold. When the temperature is low, I lose my power. The biggest event in autumn is Halloween, I think. We had Halloween party this year! We brought dishes that we cooked by ourselves. They were very deliscious! I enjoyed that time. Also, I like autumn food very much. For example, sweet potato, pumpkin, and chesnut. Because of these, I eat too much in autumn and my face becomes circle. I'm very sad. Autumn is good season for reading, playing sports, and so on. When I was a high school student, I had played volleyball comfortably in autumn. Summer is too hot so I sweat so much, winter is too cold so I must warm up for long time. I don't like warming up. These are the reason why I like autumn the best♪

Keeping in Touch

Keeping in touch with friends is very important, I think. It's very difficult to choose who is my best friend, but today I'm telling about Aki who is one of the best friends. We were high school volleyball teammates. We always enjoy talking with her. We talk about various things. Most my prefernce is different from her preference, but we always enjoy talking with. When I was injured because of playing volleyball, she was worried about that and helped me by talking funny and bright talk. Aki's position was setter, and my position was left spiker. My leg had been injured while a game. My leg was having a torn muscle. Nevertheless, I had to play. She always sets ball little sloppiply, but then, she set up ball much more carefully for me. I had never attack such a nice ball. I feel her kindness from that ball. Now, she has her boyfriend, so she rarely plays with me(;□;) However, she is my best friend♪

Marriage

My parents married 20 or 21 years ago, probably. Not only my mother, but also my father does cooking, cleaning, landry. My mother's character is opposite from my father's. But their sense of value are similar. I think my father is the best partner for my mother. I want to marry someday. If possible, I've wanted to hold wedding in Hawaii. But now, I want to hold wedding in Japan. Holding wedding in foreign countries is very hard, I think. Probably, if I decide to hold wedding in a foreign country, I must stay the country to prepare for the wedding for many days. I will be tired. My ideal colors of wedding dress are yellow and of course, white. However, I can't think that I wear wedding dress... Although I want to hold wedding in Japan, I want to go to foreign countries for honeymoon. Now, I'm worried about wether I can marry best partner or not. I want to be happy!!!!! By the time I marry, I want to be better at cooking, cleaning, and so on. I must.

My scary stuff！)'o'(

Ghosts! Probably, they are scary stuffs for most people, I think. I didn't go the test of my courage when I was a elementary school student. By the way, there are some my scary stuffs. Because I have some allergy to some things. Recently, I always wear a mask to avoid pollen. "Pollen" means kafun  in Japanese. Since my childhood, I've had some allergy. I love dogs, but I have allergy to hair of animals. So I can't have pets. In addition, raw egg and yam also my scary stuffs. I can't eat raw egg and yam. If I eat raw egg or yom, I itch my mouth. So I always eat sukiyaki without raw egg. I'm often asked "is sukiyaki deliscious without raw wgg?" But I don't know the taste of sukiyaki with raw egg.  Oh, I've just recalled sleepness! Sleepness is also my scary stuff. When I'm wearing a mask, sleepness is scarier for me. Because I feel hotter than without a mask, and less oxygen. So I'm often sleepy with a mask. I want to sleep now...

My favorite season

If I asked "Which do you like better, summer or winter?," probably I answer "I like summer better than winter." But my most favorite season is fall!! There are some reasons why I like fall. First, in fall there are many foods I like. For example, pumpkin, chestnut, sweetpotato, and so on. I like sweetpotato, so my mother often use sweetpotato for my lunch in fall. And I like pumpkin croquette better than potato croquette. Second reason is the temperature. Summer is too hot, and winter is too cold. But the temperature of fall is very comfortable for everyone, I think. And the weather is good for reading, sports, and eating. Final reason is fashion. I like the colors that we often see in fall. I think there are more nice clothes in fall and winter than summer. And my friends said so too. There are many fashionable people in this school, I think. Therefore I like fall the best(^^)◎! But I eat too much...

Summer Vacation 2011

My this summer vacation was so exciting!! I have never spent like this summer. I want to write everything I did in summer vacation, but I couldn't do it. So I'm writting about the trip in Tokyo♪ From September 3 to 6 I traveled to Tokyo with my friend, Aki. We are best friend like family. We spent time without worry, so I wasn't tired(^o^) On September 4th, we went to the concert. I can't say whose concert. It's secret. But it was very very very happy time and exciting. After that, we went to Tokyo station. I was sueprised the size of Tokyo station. There is UNIQLO in the station. It's not near, it's inside! I thought "Here is not Japan." But Tokyo is the capital city of Japan. We enjoyed the day. And on September 5th, we went to Disney Land!! There, we saw a couple. We thought they were high school students and it was their first or second date. Of course, I don't know it is true or not. They were fresh and cute. We saw them in Space Mountain at first. When we were going to Sprash Mountain, we found the couple going to Pooh's Honey Hunt! So we went to Pooh's Honey Hunt soon and rode with them. We were foolish but it was good. The trip was very very good!!

Summer Vacation

There are many places I want to go! So I need much money... I will do part-time job hard, and I will play with my friends with my friends hard! I'm looking forward to traveling with my friends or my family and palying with my friends. I'm planning to travel Tokyo with my friends. I want to go there early! I'll go to Tokyo Disney Land and Harajuku probably. I like Disney Land very much! It's dream place. My favorite disney characters are Mickey, Donald Duck, Goofy, seven small persons, Pinochio and so on. I like most characters. And I'm looking forward to playing footsal with my friends. I made a footsal circle with my good friends. I like sports! I want to enjoy it♪ I want to be better friends with memmber of our circle in this summer. And I want to be good at playing footsal. One of the girls member has played footsal, so I'll learn from her. I want to make many memories in this summer!!

First OC Presentation

On June 30th , I had to do presentation in OC class. I gave presentation about volleyball. I made a poster with some photoes and illustrations. My poster was not so good, but I enjoyed making poster. Although I'm not so good at making poster, I like making poster or writing a notebook and so on. On the night before my presentation day, I was not uneasy. My classmetes' presentation was very interesting and they can give presentation well!! I can get many new information by their presentations. So I could enjoy listening their presentation. The level of their presentation was high, I think. But I can't give presentation well. I talked while watching not listener but my poster unconsciously. I noticed the thing on the way. So I looked towards an interviewer consciously. It let me be tense still more. But I like volleyball, my presentation's theme, so I enjoyed answering questions. I learned that I should practice to give presentation more. When I graduate from a university, I want to become proud to give presentation. After my presentation, If the listener are interested in volleyball a little, I'm glad.

Difference Between Men and Women

I think there are many differences between men and women. I heard the talk two men was talking. They said "Many men choose women with faces. Most men want to cute or beautiful girlfriend. But many women choose men with characters." I've already noticed it before listened to their talk. But I was shocked and little irritated. And one of the two men said "My girlfriend is god. I'm not handsome but she became my girlfriend!!! I'm happy." I was surprised and thought he was funny, his girlfriend is great. The question "appearance or character, which is more important for you to choose boyfriend or girlfriend?" is standard question. Probably, many people will say "character is more important" But I don't know it is real or not. Which is more important do you think? I think many men's opinion is appearance.. It maybe not so. But it is my expectation. I want to know many answers! By the way, if I am a man, I want Masami Ngasawa to become my girlfriend♪

My Recent Life

Few days ago, I was interviewed for a part-time job at Tokyu Hands. It was my first time to be interviewed for a job. I was nervous. But the interviewer was friendly, so I could feel relax. And I was adopted. I am uneasy but look forward to working there.
At May 29th, I went to Green Arena in Kobe to cheer my underclassmen in my high school volleyball club.The game was last game for them. Their competitor was Hikami high school. The team was the champion in Hyogo prefecture. So the most of the members of  Hikami was very tall and their skill level was so high. But my underclassmen's volleyball skill and mentel power was much better than last year. They were enjoying to play volleyball. I was moved their fighting.
Two days ago, I went to my grandparents' house in Arima. I love my grand parents. My grandfather is the owner of the senbei factory. There are tansansenbei, cream senbei, mansukesennbei and so on. They are deliscious! The tansansenbei which my grandfather's factory produces was used in the TV program. The TV program was "Himitsu-no-Arashichan"!!! My family didn't know that. So when the tansansenbei appeared, my family was very surprised. My family was watching the TV program by accident. Kazunari Ninomiya said "This is deliscious!" My family delighted! And my grandparents delighted too!!

Not a Normal Zoo Day

It all started on a nice sunny day last April. All the kids in school were excited to be going to the zoo, but I was especially excited. I love animals and picnics, and going to the zoo is having both at the same time.

At the zoo, we got to see different animals in their cages and some of them were getting fed by their guards. Each of us had a favorite animal, and mine was the Elephant.

It was all going well, until Sam decided to mess around with the lock on the monkeys' cage and then he opened the door of the cage. All monkeys got out of the cage! There were about 100 monkeys. They ran ran and ran from place to place. In no time, the zoo was filled with monkeys. The monkeys messed around with the locks on other animals, for example, elephants, giraffes, lions, tigers, koalas, pandas and so on. The animals got out of their cages. The staffs and guests in the zoo panicked and ran away from the zoo. We went back to the school. While, the small animals, for example, koalas, rabbits, squirrels and so on rode on the Ferris wheel. The large animals did hide-and-seek in the zoo. All animals enjoyed very much. After that, they went out of the zoo.

The small zoo animals came to our schoool. We were surpeised at that. But few minutes later, we enjoyed playing with the small animals. Sam enjoyed too just then...

Sam went back to his house. He heard strange noises from his house. He entered the house and then he was very surprised!!!!!!! There were large zoo animals, and they were having a party!!!!!! Sam cried and went away.

That was a not a normal zoo day.

My House and Neighborhood

 When I was six years old, I moved to the house which I live in. The town which there is my house is new town. So when my family moved to the house, there were few houses. But now, there are many houses and our town has many habitants. Many habitants in the town are young. So my town is cheerful♪The houses in the town are colorful and most of the houses are Western-style. There is a pink house, it looks like Minney Mouse's house. It is my brother's classmate's house. At first sight, I thought"Who wants to live such a loud house?" So I was surprised the habitant of the pink house.
 There are convenience store(seven-eleven) and bakery. The owner of the convenience store is my friend's father. And the owner of the bakery is my friend's father too. Sometimes the owner of the bakery give bread to my family(^^ )
 My neighbor has a dog. Her name is Momo. Momo always bark at my family. Probably Momo is grown-up and we've known Momo since she came to my neighbor's house. But she always barks at us :( I'm sad.
 In winter, the illumination in our town is very very beautiful! So many people come to see the illumination. I think the habitant in our town will not illuminate this year... But I hope to illuminate our house and town again after Japan is reconstructed and economy of  Japan  become good.
 I like my house and neighborhood.

My Ideal House

My ideal house is log cabin. In my childhood, my family often travel to Mie. And when we went to Mie, we always stay at log cabin. I like the smell and atmosphere of the log cabin very much. The size of the log cabin is not too small and not too large, so I was so happy when I was in the log cabin. Sometimes spiders appeared in the bath room of the house and I was afraid of them. But the bath room was good. I have never been to the lg cabin without thinking "I want to live in here." I have stayed only at the log cabin in Mie. So I want to try to stay at other log cabin in various places. I want to live in log cabin in the future. And I think it is good to have breakfast leisurly, to read books, to nap and so on. If there are pool near the log cabin, the life in the log cabin will very good. My ideal house is not only log cabin, but camping car. I watched the TV proglam about life in one's old age. The old couple has their house, but they often trip by camping car and stay in the camping car. The life looks exciting. So I think after I retire my job, to travel to many places by camping car is one of the best life.

My Golden Week

I went to my friend's house in  Kyotanabe Kyoto on  May 7th,8th. I went there by trane by alone. It was little long trip for me. When I arrived Miyamaki station,two my friends came to meet me. One of the friends cut her hair the other day. So her hairstyle was very very short! I was surprised with it, but I said nothing about it. Some minutes later, one my friend arrived Mikiyama station. So my friends and I went to the station to meet her. And we went to supermarket to buy food. We were going to make takoyaki. But because we didn't have much money, we bought chikuwa instead of octopus. So we didn't call the menu takoyaki, but we called the menu chikuyaki. Although we used chikuwa instead of octopus, it was very deliscious! After dinner, we made pancakes. It was very hard to make fresh cream for topping, so we coopolated to make it. We talked for long time about each campus lives, the story that we couldn't say when we were junior high school students, and so on. We enjoyed the time! We didn't sleep the day to talk. I like my friends very much!! It was my wonderful little trip♪ We plan to trip in summer vacation. We are looking forward to going to trip.

My childhood memories

I went to Tokyo Disneyland for the first time when I was 5 years old.  I went there with my grand parents and my cousin.  It was so exciting.  And I was very happy then.  I didn't like scary ride,so I didn't ride scary ride so much.  I spent happy time to take photographs with Mickey Minney and so on.  Finally,I went to the Cinderella castle.  I was little girl,so I was very afraid of the magic mirror which was in the Cinderalla castle.  Then I cried "Okaasa~n!Otousa~n!Satoshi~!!!Tasukete~~~!!!!."  "Satoshi" is my younger brother's name.  My  brother was 2 years old then.  But I wanted Satoshi to help me.  But I don't remember this happnenig.   My grand mother told me about this happnenig.  I still love Disney. And I want to go to Disneyland in Paris someday.  I went to Kyoto for sightseeing with my grand parents. My grand parents always teach me wisdom.  I love grand parents.

When I was 6 years old,I did a play in kindergarden.  My class's play was "Peterpan."  I played a role of Indian with my best friends.  We weard full-dress costume to play.  It was so interesting.  I liked the play.  Everybody in my class plyed each role hard.  Of cource,the main character of "Peterpan" is Peterpan.  There was three Peterpans in our play!!  That was also interesting!

I want to make good memories from now on♪
