New Year

I feel that this 2010 year passed very quickly. I enjoyed this year!! I'm happy that I came to here, met a lot of people, made many kind friends, played viola in my activity, and lived Uegahara. I appreciate everyone.

On New Year's day, I'll spend a week in my hometown. I'll spend much time sleeping, eating, and shopping. I'll meet my mother, grandmother, grandfather, and my pet, Rin:) I am looking forward to going back to my hometown. I don't plan any special thing, but I'm just pleasant that I stay in my house with my family. My mother promised me that she will take me Yakiniku!! I think I will be more fat when I go back to here. Please don't look at me in 2011! I try not to get more weight. I decide that I walk around the park near my house with my grandfather. My father is about 85, but he walks around the big park every morning! I'll follow him. Or, I walk with my dog;) She is white and Japanese dog, so she like Otosan in Softbank's CM very much!! She is so cute. I surely can walk aroud the park with my dog everyday.

I go back to Fukuoka this evening. I get on bus for about 8 hours. I have anxiety of it, but I can endure because of delight. I hope you spend happy New Year's day!!

Discoveries

I have discovered a lot of things since I entered this university and come to Kobe. I will write about some different points between Kansai and Kyusyu people.

First, I found that I speak in Hakata dialect after I talk to people who come from Kansai area. I hadn't noticed that I speak in Hakata dialect. Hakata and Kansai dialect have similar points, and many different points. I am proud of Hakata dialect, so I want to continue speaking in Hakata dialect. However, I think Kansai dialect is very cute!

Second, it is a manner. Only Kansai people line the right of escalator. Kyusyu people and east Japan people line the left side of secalator. At first I was confused by it. Why do such a difference occur?
Finaly, a different point between Kansai and Hakata is food. I surprised that everyone know Kansai-Dshijyoyu potato chips in Kansai area. I hadn't heard Kansai-Dashijyoyu. In Kyusyu area, Kyusyu-syoyu are sold.

I can find a lot of things because I came to a strange town for me. I am gradually accustomed to live here, and listen to Kansai dialect. Next year, I hope to live happily in this town.

Something vaguely to do with the future

I don't have idea about my future clearly. We can't see our own future. However, I write about my future.

Ten years later, when I'm 29 year old, the technology will have devlopped. I will have iPhone, iTouch and iPad. I have a husband and children, so they enjoy these, too. Children enjoy a developped computer games. They are all 3D,of course. People can watch the 3D movie without heavy glasses. Possibly, we can enjoy 4D movie, which is the movie with the smell. Actually, there are 4D movies in UNIVERSAL STUDIO JAPAN. I have experienced 4D movie, and I was very very excitded! I hope that 4D movie appear in our daily life.
I like "Back to the Future" , which is a famous movie in the world. In this movie, there are flying cars and skateboards. I dream that this idea comes true someday.

We can't know our future, so we can enjoy now and imagination of future. My life has just begun, I can enjoy my long future. I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of things in the future.

Something I love

I like to watch TV very much! I always watch TV while I eat the meal. I live by myself, so I feel lonely without TV. I watch TV for about 3 hours in all per a day, that is to say for about 21 hours in a week!!

My favorite TV programas are "mechaike", "music station", "Friday road show", and so on. I like "ninety-nine", which is a comic duo. I am pleased that Okamura Takashi recovered from the ill. And, I used to watch "music station" every week, but I can't watch it now because of my club activity. I can't record it on HDD, so I am very sad. However, I can catch the time "Fridy road show", so I run to my house after my club activity when they broadcast the movie I want to watch.

I also like the dramas. I watch the dramas at 9 o'clock on Monday and at 10 o'clock on Tuesday. They are "Nagareboshi" and "Guilty". They are very exciting for me:) Please watch them once. Especially, their theme songs are very very nice;) I become a fun of JUJU after I listened the theme song of "Guilty".

TV affect on me from every aspects. Surely, watching TV for many hours is bad for our health, but I can't live without TV. I usually try to care that I watch TV for too long time. I enjoy watching TV!

Marriage

Marriage is one of my dreams. I want to marry someone very much! However, it is difficult that finding someone who can really match me. First, I want to be a housewife, so a rich man is better. I will cook, wash and clean for my husband. However, I want him to help me sometimes. Especially, child raising! I don't want boyfriend to be a kind person, but my husband need to be kind. In brief, my ideal partner is "Masuo-san" in Sazae-san!! He is very good man as husband.

I want to marry at 25. After I work for a few years, I will marry someone. I want to have two or three children, so I have to marry as soon as possible. I want to be a young mother:)

I want to marry in Japan because I will invite a lot of people I know. At a very beautiful chapel, I will wear a beautiful wedding dress and my husband will wear a nice tuxedo. But I would like to wear kimono in Japanese style. Oh, I can't decide it!! I sure that I will wear both;)

I would like to go to Europe for honeymoon. I want to visit many World Heritage Sites. Or, I want to see aurora in the North Pole. My ideal date is that watching innumerable stars in the sky☆

However, they are not reality, but just my imagination. I hope that my dreams come true!!

My Good Friends

I have four good friends since junior high school. We were the same class at first grade. We were too young at that time, so we were too cheerful. We made a lot of noise and run the corridor, and were scolded by our teachers many times. We had a lot of memories, for example, we had quarrel each other. It was hard, but it becomes good memory now. It is nice that we could talk directly whatever we want to each other. And, I think it made us closer.
We were also the same high school. Although we all weren't the same class except for the first grade in junior high school, but we gathered in every events. I have a lot of photos of them.
We are getting along very well with each other, so we were mistaken that we are sisters by others. I thought "What a close friendship we have!".
Three of them are preparing for the enrrance examinations now. After the examinations, next spring, we plan to go to USJ for our graduation trip. I can't wait anymore!:) I wish them passing the examination as soon as possible and entering the university which they want to.
Anyway, one of them are going to come my house in this weekends. At my house, we will talk about each other's things all night. The next day, we will go sightseeing for Kobe City and Osaka!!

My Special Day

My special day is February 10th, this year. That day, I received an acceptance letter from Kwansei Gakuin University. I was very pleased.

At first, I was trying for a national university. However, I failed in the national center for university examination (known as "center examination") in January. I was very depressed at that time, but I change my way of thinking. For a month, I studied for Kwansei Gakuin University. I thought I would enter Kwansei Gakuin University, if I passed the examination. I always had much anxiety of my future for that month. It's one of the worst memories for me.

However, when I passed the entrance examination, I was very happy. I cried for joy in front of my computer. I feeled relieved about an anxiety of my future.

After two weeks, My mother and I went to Tokyo Disney Land & Sea for the celebration. After February 10th, my life & feel changed.

Preparing for the examination was very hard for me, but I grew for it. Thanks to it, I know that many people support me anytime. For example, my teacher, friends, mother, and so on. I could hold out for them. So, the day when I passed the exam is my special day.

My Opinion about High Technology

I'm interested in high technology. However, to be honest, I don't know whether high technology is good or bad for everyone. Today, We owe our convinient lives to high technology. We can live comfortably because of air condition, refrigerator, micro wave, oven, washing macine, and so on. They help us in various scene in daily life. If I feel hot, air condition makes the room cool. If I want to eat hot food, micro wave or oven help me cooking food soon.

Another example shows that high tech traffic, -bus, track, car, ship and plane, take us to far place. We can go to all over the world thanks to it. Without these, I think we, especially people who in developped countries, can't live any more.

On the other hand, it is a problem that high technology make progress in the world too much. High technology, for example TV and game, makes us alone. Our communications are decreasing. However, I think not only because of high technology. Today, we tend to eat meal separately. But we are careful to gather each other, we can keep our communications. Our intensions are very important. High technology is not bad, but our care for our communication is luck.

Google

I'll write about "Google". It's a foreign product which spread out all over the world. It's one of the biggest search engines in the world. I always make use of Google. If I want to know about a thing, Google tell me about it soon. It's very convinient.
One day, I watched a movie, (twilight), there was a scene that a heroine used Google in English. I didn't know that Google is used by foreign countries people, so I was surprised. At that time, I realized that Internet run through all over the world. Thanks to Google, we can share knowledge of everything in the world. We can know about weather, sports, traffic, and so on. Especially, Street View, a function of Google, is amazing!! We can see the world as if we really walk there. For example. Washington D.C., London, Beijing, Sydney, and of course Tokyo. Surprisingly, we can see also my house in Fukuoka! I don't have to get homesick anymore:)
I recommend this function. Let's use Google!!

This Summer Vacation

This summer vacation was exciting for me! I played viola almost everyday. I went to club activity almost everyday. We went to Oita for concerts for 6 days. Oita was very beautiful and we were refresh. The hotel we stayed was very old, so cockroach appeared at night. We shouted, and one of us hit it. That is a strong memory.
I went back to Fukuoka for a week. I ate my mother's dinner, so I felt great:) And I saw a lot of friends. My friends and I stayed at friend house. We shot off fireworks near the river, and watched 5 movies all night. I stayed up all night for the first time. I was very tired, but very excited.
After I went back here, I took part in club activity everyday. Last five days, we had a camp for practice at Hyogo. That was in countryside, so we could see beautiful stars. I heard we can see shooting star, but we couldn't. At the last night, ensemble meeting took place. I danced with MatsuuraAya's song in front of 100 people. Our viola's part team won among 45 teams. It was amazing! My best memory was this. My summer vacation was very full.

These days

Long time no see!! How are you? I'm fine. However, it continues hot day recently :( I had gone back to Fukuoka for 4 days. I enjoyed dinner with my friend. She and I had talked about many many things. We had have very good time;) I had gone shopping with my mother. My mother's cooking were delicious:) I was very sad when I left Fukuoka.Recently, I play viola almost everyday. Next week, we're going to Oita for concerts. I'm nervous, but I'm looking forward to playing. So, I must practice harder.
By the way, I went to Kyoto the day before yesterday, because I met my friend. We went to YOJIYA cafe, ate pasta, and talked for 2 hour. It was great time. I thought Kyoto city is very nice. I want to go to Kyoto again.
How is your summer vacation? I would like to know it.

Walking

Recently, I like to walk around my house. It's very hot during the daytime, but it's cool after sunset. It's very comfortable:) I don't know the way near my house, so I want to know it. I feel that I become explorer! It's very exciting. The other day, I found the park which has playground equipment. For example, swing, slide, and iron bar. I played swing with my friend yesterday. I was pleasant. I recommend you walking after the sunset. Or, let's walking toghether!!

By the way, I will go back to Fukuoka today!!! I'm going to leave at 22 o'clock, and arrive there at 7 o'clock. It's long way, but I am very happy;)

My good and bad points

I have many good and bad points. My good point is that I can forget bad things easily. I seldom feel down for a long time. After I sleep and wake up, I often forget a bad feeling. After bath time, too. I usually think that thing will work out. Take it easy!:)
This point is also bad point. I easily forget an important information!!:( For example, something that my friends or I said before. Hoewver, I rarely forget my friends' birthday!! If you tell me your birthday, I will write it in my schedule, and I will remember. If I forget an appointment with you, I'm very sorry. Please forgive me! I will try to be careful.
People have a lot of good points and bad points. I want to find their good points, and like their bad points. I surely think that it's a way for peopke to have great communication!

Summer Vacation!!!!

I really hope that summer vacation comes soon! My summer vacation is going to start on July 24. I can't wait! At first, I will come back Fukuoka for four days. When I return this city, I will try to do everything. For example, club activity, cooking, studying, and part-time job. Especially, part-time job is very necessary for me now. I need much money! But I'm chicken, so I can't take a step for new world. Please help me!;; Which job is good? Do you have a recommend job? And what is it?? Please give me an advice.
Of course, I have many pleasures. I will go to Oita for the concert for five days. I have the camp in September. They cost much, but I'm looking forward to go there. I can't wait for 20 days!! I will make my summer vacation exciting after we finish the exams.

A frightening experience

This story is when I was high school student. My club finished at 7 o'clock almost everyday, there was no person except us in school building at that time. We cleaned up around, but we must go through dark corridor so that we went to the clubroom. I couldn't walk there alone! Because I think it looked very scary. One day, I was late for the finish time, so I must went to clubroom alone. I walk the dark corridor as I was afraid of it. Suddenly, someone came out behind the wall!! I shouted "GYA---!!". I was not a girl at that time. After that, I found someone was my friend. It was joke, but someone was touched their shoulder by anyone at times. Nobody knowed who he was. My friend in my club called him KATSUMURAkun. He may be a person who feels lonely, so he sometimes apeared beside us. But we have frightening experiences many times.He was one of seven mysteries in my high school. I surely think that he is still in the shool. About 20 years later, I want to him someday, and I try to get along with him the next time:)

FIFA WORLD CUP!!

I enjoy cheering for world cup! It is very exciting, isn't it? I watched world cup with my friends on last Saturday at my house. We ate Okonomiyaki. Of course, we made it by ourselves:) It was pleasing and delicious. After that, we watched and screamed. Hasebe, Kawashima, Turio, and every players are very cool! I like sport man, especially Hasebe!! Okada Japan did their best, but Japan lost:( Holland is very strong! I hope that Japan win the next time. No, Japan absolutely win! Okada Japan is a strong team, too! They give us bravery and impression. Let's cheer for Okada Japan together:) Come and watch the game at my house!!

About My Partner

My partner is Tomeko. She is a viola. Do you know viola? Viola is like violin. Viola is a little bigger than violon. Many people know about violin, cello and contrabass, but they don't know about viola! I'm sad about this situation. I want more many people to know about viola. I started to play the viola at junior high school. I was chosen for violist (violist means person who play the viola) , because my hands are bigger than the others. However, I found that my hands aren't so big. Therefore, playing viola was hard work for me. viola is big and heavy! But, I like playing music with my company. It is very exciting! I would like to be good at playing viola. I belong to orchestra club at Kwansei university. My first subscription concert is going to be held in February. Please come and see Tomeko and me:) I'll invite you!

Something I'd like to accomplish

I would like to be good at cooking very well. I want to be like a professional cook! I cook for myself everyday, but I can't cook for you. Because I'm a beginner and I'm bad at cooking now. I will surely develop my cooking skill for four year. I would like to cook hamburger steak, fried shrimp and Japanese food, such as Nikujyaga, Nimono, and so on. I want to cook miso soup like my mother. If I'm good at cooking in the future, I'll invite you to dinner at my house:) In addition, I'll get a great husband. I 'll cook breakfast, lunch and dinner for my husband and children everyday. I will be a good wife and homemaker, so I try to cook everyday.

If I won the lottery

If I won the lottery,I want to do many things. First, I would like to buy microwave oven and bicycle. I 'm in trouble now because these are necessity at my daily life. I can't eat frozen food. If I freeze rice up to keep, I can't thaw out. I have to go to University to use microwave! Second, I would like to get on the bus many times. It is far that the way from my house to supermarket is, besides there is sharp slope. however, bus fare is expensive for me. It cost 210 yen each way. You may think it is cheap, but "Little and often fills the purse". It's proverb. Third, I'll spend money for my club. I'm belong to orchestra, and I need 150000 yen per a year at least! If I won the lottery, I will be fine.
However,it is dream, I have to do the part-time job.

A place I have lived

I have lived in Fukuoka for 18 years. I'm going to tell you about Fukuoka city!

Fukuoka city is the biggest city in Kyusyu. The famous spots are Tenjin, Canal City, Yahoo Dome, Marinoa City, and so on. My favorite place is Momochihama. Momochihama is near my junior high school and high school. It is just a sea, but I have many happy memories in it. For example, I shot off fireworks on the beach with club members till night. It was very very exciting! It was my youth.

By the way, if you go to Fukuoka, I recommend you to go to Abura Mountain. Abura Mountain is near my house, and I would see it every day. When I was elementary school pupil, I often had been to Abura Mountain and dived into the river. It was very pleasing!

I was born and grew up in Fukuoka. Fukuoka city is my precious place. I want you to go to Fukuoka together. I'll show you!!:)

My first diary

It has been a month since I had entered Kwangaku University. There are many kind people, so I am gradually accumsted to new surroudings.

I went to Osaka with my new friends yesterday. My friend who comes from Osaka guided us. I was really surprised by large crowd. I thought that today is a festival. There were a lot of people, a lot of lines and many big building. I was confused.

First, I got off the train at Shinsaibashi station. It was my first visit of America Villege (It is called "Amemura"). The clothes were very cheap in Amemura. I'll go to Amemura with much money next time!

Then, we walked along shopping arcade. I saw sign of glico, Kuidaore doll and so on. I was so tired, but I was really fun!! I want to go to Osaka again.
