Resolutions

In 2011, Japan had a big and terrible earthquake. All of Japanese worried and help people who live in To-hoku. We must remember that accident in this year.

By the way, I have a lot of happy memories in 2011. I went to U.K. in this summer vacation. It was very important experience for me. I learned many thing and made many friends there. In Japan, I went to USJ, TDS, Fukui, Gifu, and so on. Recently, I went to see Kobe Luminarie. It was very beautiful!! I wanna see a Christmas tree in USJ.

I have to do my best next year. First, we have a big concert in 22 February. I should practice the viola more and more. Though practicing everyday is hard, I have fun :) If you have a time, Please come to listen!!

I want to visit more places in 2012. I would like to go to Kyoto, Okayama, Hiroshima, Tokushima, Kagawa, many many places! because I never been there.

I hope you have a good time in 2012. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year :)))

Foreign Places

I have been to the UK only, so I want to many many foreign countries. Especially, I would like to see Mont Saint-Michel and La tour Eiffel in France. France and Itly's scene of town look nice in TV. Someday, I will visit there.
I've stayed the UK for a month, but I couldn't visit everywhere. So I want to go to London, where Olympic will take place next summer. Moreover, I want to visit America, Australia, Hawaii, France, Italy, and Austria. I like big nature in foreign countries. There isn't a vast grassy plain in japan. I also like the architecture in foreign countries.

Tokyo

I visited Tokyo 3 years ago. I went to Odaiba, Shibuya, Harajyuku, and so on for sightseeing with my mother. I had a very good time.

Recently, I saw people who do Cosplay. We went to Fruits Flower Park to get some apples. In the park, many people wore costumes of anime, and took pictures each other. We wanted to take a picture together, but we were also afraid of them. I thought it's the unknown world.

I cannot understand all, however, I don't deny them. Because everyone can wear what they want to wear, and they don't do harm to the others. It's one of Japanese cultures.

J-Universities

I have an imege that the students in university are free in Japan. Almost students have a lot of free time. We can do a club activity, a part-time job, and what we want to do.
The students can enjoy our own free time, however, their behavior to classes is not good. Some sleep well, and the other talk with friends. To tell the truth, I sometimes sleep in class...
In foreign country, for example America and the UK are, it is harder to graduate from the university than to enter the university. On the other side, in Japan, it is harder to pass the entrance examination than to graduate from the university. I think it's the reason why Japanese students don't study so much.
I wrote that the students have a lot of free time, but I'm always busy. Why? I want to study more, but I can't do everything what I want. I try to do my best!!!!

Autumn

It become cooler thesedays. It's difficult for me to choose my clothes everyday. But I like autumn:-)
Last Sunday, I went to Nishinomiya Garden Field, Where people can watch and touch many animals and go with their pets. I touched a lot of pretty dogs, but they looked so sad. I supposed they are tired because they were touched by many people everyday. I touched a rabbit and an alpaca. Alpaca's hair was very soft!! She has pure and cute eyes, and ate grass. I had a good time there!

Next weekend, I want to go to USJ. However, it will rain, maybe. I will go and listen to my teacher's solo concert next Sunday. I can't go to USJ, but I'm looking forward to listening to her violin.

Look into my crystal balls

I haven't decided what I want to be, but I have a image about my future. In 20 years, I will be 40 years old. I want to get married and to be an ordinary housewife in my hometown, Fukuoka. I expect that I have 14 years old boy, 8 years old girl and very kind husband. We will have a big house and garden, and play badminton there in weekends. In weekdays, I will do housework in morning. In the afternoon, I will listen classical music, and play viola. I want to belong to a orchestra club. It's my ideal future.
On the other hand, it's harder to be a housewife today. My husband and I must work and earn money enough. If I find my job in Kansai area, I must stay here. I can live in Fukuoka after I retire. We need a lot of money for my children, so I can't play viola. I have to get married a rich man so that my dreams come true. Well, I don't know that I can get married someone!!

Celebrities

When I was child, I wanted to be a celebrity. These days, however, many celebrities often make gossip. Celebrities are suddenly taken photo by gossip writers. I think being a celeblity is very hard, so I don't want to be a celeblity now. I want to spend normal daily life.

I like Johnny Depp. He is so cool!! I like his many movies, for example, Pirates of the Caribbean, Edward Scissorhands, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Alice in Wonderland. I also watched Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, but it was too scary for me and I couldn't eat meat for a week. Please be careful when you watch it. By the way, I have watched many his movies, he changes perfectly each roles. I can't recognize him at Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! They said he mede 100 million dollars (about 8,000,000,000 yen) last year. I cannot believe it!!

I also like Orlando Bloom. He has cute smile, I think:-) The Three Musketeers which he appears is shown at theater soon. I want to watch this♪

Scary Stuff

Next monday is Halloween! I've never walk around the town in Halloween costume, but I participated in Halloween party last year. I like pumpkin, and an atmosphere of Halloween, although I don't like ghost:-(

By the way, I'm afraid of person who put on an animal costume(Kigurumi in Japanese), for example micky mouse is. When I was younger, children crowded round a rabbit costume, but I kept away from it. Because an animal costume doesn't have an expression. Moreover, I suppose a face of person inside. I don't know the reason clearly, but I feel it to be cold. To tell the truth, I'm a little afraid of an animal costume now. If I go to Tokyo Disney Land, I'm not sure Micky mouse and I take a photo together.

I'm also afraid of a suspense movie. Last week I watched "Inshitemiru" on TV alone, and I thought it was horrible. I like watching a horror movie with many people!!

My favorite season

Japan has four sesons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The temperature in Japan is very defferent. It is from about -10 degree to 33 degree for one year in Japan. It is difficult for us not to catch a cold.
My favorite season is autumn, because it is comfortable to spend our daily life. I think every foods are nice, especially many kind of fruits are great! I love a pear and peach, although they are a little bit expensive.

The scenery in autumn is beautiful. I like walking around my house in the evening. The sun behind the mountain is wonderful, which makes me calm. And colored leaves are good. And the night in autumn become longer. It is called "Aki no yonaga" in Japanese. We can do something useful with the night in autumn.

That's why I like autumn, but it is difficult to choose my clothes! These days, the weather change everyday, so I can't decide which clothes to wear. I want more clothes and boots :-)

My Favorite Subject

My favorite subject at elementary and junior high school is mathmaticks. I like to solve the math problems. There are absolutely the correct answers at math. After I have solved the problem, I feel the sense of achievement. However, math at high school become more difficult and don't have the correct answers (for example, demonstration, Shomei in Japanese), so I don't like math so much.

I have another favorite subject. It's Music. I was good at playing the recorder at elementary school. I also belonged the music committee, and I played a lot of instruments. For example, I played melodica(Kenban-harmonica in Japanese), xylophone, Glocken, electone, and so on. Playing the instruments is very excitting!!When I was high school student, I like calligraphy(Shodo). I used a big brush, and I wrote the arts of Kanji. I was interested in it.


I have studied many things at elementary, junior high school and high school. I was excited!!

Good Summer Vacation

I really enjoyed this summer vacation! I went to the UK for a month. We studied a lot of thing at the Hertford College, Oxford. It's the first time for me to go abroad, so I was inspired by everything in the UK.

We had the classes from 9 to 4 o'clock on weekdays. After classes, we usually used to walk around the college and buy something good. We went to field trip on every weekends. For example, I visited London, Windsor Castle, Warwick castle, Bath and Stonehenge. I love the architecture in the UK, so I was very excited. Especially, I like Windsor Castle which Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ lives there still now.

We also had many activities after almost every dinner. I watched Harry Potter 7 at cinema, went to the pub, had a game night, karaoke night, and so on. One night, we had a big party. we were disguised as a pirate or princess. Many men were disguised as a princess, it was very funny!;) After that big party, we went to the club, and danced!! It was my one of the best memories in Oxford.

After I came back to Japan, I practiced playing the viola for 5 days. It was the activity of my orchestra club. It was very hard schedule for me, but I also had fun!! I would like to be good at playing it, so I try to practice harder.

By the way, I really had a good time in Oxford, so I miss my friends in Oxford. I want to go back to the UK soon:-)

This Summer Vacation

I'll write about my plans in this summer vacation. I have many nice plans in this summer. Our orchestra club will go to Fukui for a concert for five days. I'm really looking forward to go to Fukui with members of my club!

From August 16th to September 14th, I'm going to stay in U.K. It's the first time I go abroad. I'm a little nervous, but I'm looking forward to see a foreingn country. Especially, I'm looking forward to join the Harry Potter tour!! ( We visit the places where Harry Potter's movies was taken:)) I try to speak in English always.

I'll also going to Disney Sea and Gero Onsen. I'm going to Disney Sea on this month. I'm very looking forward to go!! In this summer, it is hot everyday, but I have a lot of good plans!;) So, I try to do my best for the tests :(

Differences of Opinion

I can't think of many male's behavior that it is hard to understand for me. But, I can't understand that many men like cars, robots, plastic model, and so on. A man collect a lot of plastic model of Gundam. I don't think they are so cool! I think it's difference between men and women.

Many men don't like to Email always, and many women like to Email, I think. In my case, however, I don't like to Email always, on the other hand, my former boyfriend liked to Email... We had broken up because of our differences about Email, and so on.

There are a lot of differences between men and women, therefore, it makes us more pleasant, maybe;)

Story2 Not a Normal Day at the Zoo

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...
Sam opened the lock and monkeys ran away in all directions. After few minutes, monkeys opened the lock on the other animals' cages and all animals ran away. People in the zoo got into a panic, I also got into a panic. OMG!!

Then, one of monkeys came to Sam with a banana. It's a mark of thanks, because monkeys wanted to see the other world where they hadn't know! Sam received this banana, and they became friends.After that, the other animals and the other kids became friends, too;)

They went to the town together, and took place a parade! Each of us paraded with our favorite animals. Surprisingly, I could ride the elephant there! Everyone enjoyed this parade, and didn't realize that it was strange scene.

After this parade, all of them came to theirselves. It's time to come home, so the animals go back to the zoo and their cages, and I also go back my home with a story of my strange day.

Recent Days

I'm very busy these days. Because we have a big concert on July 3. We have hard schedule, I usually practice the viola when I don't have classes. Our concert is going to take place in Amagasaki on July 3 afternoon. If you are interested in it, I give you the tickets for free! Please come to listen:)

Altohough I spend busy days, I try to cook everyday. I often made my breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I cooked Hayashi-rice yesterday. One year and two months have passed since I started to live by myself, so I progress cooking a little. But I want to be good at cooking very well!! I want to challenge Japanese food, for example, Nimono. I want to made various food with many vagetables, meats, fishes:)

Is it necessary to spend money on space exploration?

I'm interested in space, so I like to watch the news about space exploration. Many astronauts arrive at other planets, that's amazing!

People began space exploration about 100 years ago. They developed rockets, artificial satellite, etc. However, they need huge energy in order to launch them to space, so they cost much money.

In space, there are many mysteries. There might be the aliens, unidentified creatures. If they really exist, I want to know them. We should do space exploration actively.

On the other hand, we should take care of our own planet, the Earth. We should know about the Earth more, and keep the Earth first. If we find the aliens and they attack us, it's very dangerous for the Earth!

However, there might be many great things in space by knowing about space and other planets. We should continue space exploration from now on.

My Future Work

I haven't decide my future yet. I think many kind of my future. For example, the place where I live and work after I graduate from this college. I came from Fukuoka, so I think that I go back to Fukuoka after I graduate. But it's also good that I still live in Kansai area.

I want to be a housewife, and belong to the amateur orchestra. I would like to continue to play the viola in the future. Although, if I can't get marriage, my dream won't come true!

I have no idea about job what I want to do in the future. I entered this college in order to learn many various things. But what I want to do? I think it from now on.

I agree with longer working hours and more money. It might be surely hard, but it satisfy our life. We might have fewer free time, though, we will be able to enjoy what we really want to do. If we work hard and long, we would get not only more money, but also good friends, and so on. We will get many precious things through the job!.

My Golden Week

We didn't have enough holidays even though people were in Golden Week. I was absent from classes on Friday, and I went back to Fukuoka, my hometown.
I met a lot of friends for 4 days. On May 5, I met my club members in high school. We ate lunch, looking at image of Buddha! I hadn't eaten lunch as I look at Buddha before. Then, we played the violin, viola, and cello together. We played Mozart. It was a good time:)
May 6 in the morning, my mother and I went to watch the Katsushika Hokusai's UKIYOE. There were a lot of beautiful Ukiyoes, we were excited. They were very valuable historically.In the afternoon, I was taken pictures for Coming of Age Day. I was made up and set my hair by hairdresser, and wore green Kimono. I was ashamed to be taken picture by a big camera, but it was precious experience. I'm looking forward to Coming of Age Day.
It was too short to stay home calmly, but I was very happy to go back to my home and meet many people. It was good Golden Week for me;)

P.E. classes

Almost elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools have P.E. classes. Should students have to take P.E. classes?

I think students should have to take them. First, the motor nerves grow well when they are children. In other words, the motor nerves can't grow well if they don't exercise enough when they are children. Therefore, students have to take P.E. classes, especially in elementary school.

Second, students should have locomotive powers as equal as possible. If they take the same P.E. classes, they will be able to acquire the same locomotive powers.

Third, in P.E. classes, students can play various sports which they rarely play in their daily lives. For example, basketball, baseball, succer, badminton, volleyball, long jump, hurdle, relay, and so on. Playing various sports become surely good memories in the future.

I'm poor at playing the sport, so I disliked P.E. classes untill high school. But now, I remember that I enjoyed playing various sports which I can't play now. They are my nice memories:)

What I like About Japan

I'm happy to live in Japan now. I have many favorite things of Japan.

First, Japan has four seasons, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. We Japanese can enjoy various scenes. I love the cherryblossoms in Spring, the sea in the Summer, the maple trees in Autumn, and the snow scene in Winter. They all are very beautiful. Last year, I had seen all of them, because they are in Japan everywhere.

Second, I like Japanese food. Rice, Sushi, Sashimi, Soba, Tempra, Nabe, and so on. Japanese food tastes good, of cource. Moreover, Western food, Chinese food, and the others countries' food in Japan also taste so good. By the way, I really like Butakimuchi, which is fried up pork and kimchi. It's very easy to cook.

Third, Japan is peaceful. There isn't a gun in Japan, officially at least:( People in Japan are kind. Recently, Big earthquake had occured in East Japan. It caused terrible damages, but people in Japan help each other. I'm glad to see that scene on TV.

That is why I like Japan:)

My life recently

In this Spring vacation, I went to my club and practiced on the viola almost everyday. I got thee new tunes, so I was tired sometimes, but I enjoyed practicing the viola:) We have a regular concert on July 4. If you eill be free, please come to listen our music!

I started a part-time job recently. It's a big change for me. I have a lot of work to do and I'm not accustomed to do them, so I was always tired after the par-time job. I have to raise loud voice, carry heavy things, walk as soon as possible I can. There are hard works for me. However, the people who work around me are very very kind. When I made a mistake, they said to me "Don't mind!;)". And they teach me about works carefully. I can hold on, because I'm supported by a lot of kind people. I try not to make a mistake and to do my best. Please come to eat there after I get accustomed to work:)
