Homework
Since I got flu I don't sem to get it right whenever I do. So I'd like to take my own time especially doing homework. I almost forgot my duty, study. I'd like to meet my family in summer vacation with all credit.
Recent things:)
Recently I have 2 good news and 1 bad news for my self.
2 of the good news are that my dad is buying me the new MacBook gold. And he's also taking me to Hawaii(Oahu island and Hawaii island) in the Summer holiday.
1 of the bad news is that I'm gonna have to try really hard to lose my weight to achieve my dream goal. I wish I had nicer arms, legs, hips, and abs. And I wish I didn't have any cravings for food. I know that for most of the people, when you hear that I'm not wanting to eat any, it's crazy. It's not because I'm wanting to eat any, but I'd rather not eat much to achieve my dream goal than eat lot of junks and be more fat not being able to achieve my dream goal.
If anyone has any tips for losing weight healthily, please let me know:) Also, if anyone has any good recommendation for places in Oahu island and Hawaii island, please let me know:)
Watching the fan and the flower.
Main characters: The sealing fan and The plant

Symbols: 3lights, 4shiny blades, lonely, love, sealing fan, plant, flower, old lady, house, new people
Irony: Fan-like flower was made.

recover
This week I didn't do something special.
I stayed home quietly to recover from my cold.
At home, I did most of my homework for this week.
I did the media discussion, classification essay from IE Writing, and read the book for the book report.
Now, I just have to prepare for the presentation from IE listening.
I'm thinking of doing it tomorrow afterschool.
At last, happily I finally recovered from my cold!!!!!
I'm very glad having been able to sleep good.
That is for today!

Eating
I love eating. Who doesn't!
I've been eating different kinds of hamburgers lately. I like Kuwaaina the most.
An infectious game
Recently, I've become interested in Left 4 Dead 2. Known as the sequel to the original Left 4 Dead, pitched as "the zombie apocalypse you can play with your friends", the game takes four players (or at least one player followed by bot players) through the Southeastern United States in a bid to find evacuation during a zombie apocalypse.
(Since there's plenty of graphic imagery in even just the opening cinematic, I'll leave it to y'all to find images and videos of the game. Obviously, it's not for the weak-hearted)
Almost everything about this game is awesome. The characters, for example, each have backstories and personalities that are revealed throughout the game. In fact, even the undead and the game environment seem to be well fleshed out; each map has its distinct atmosphere - thanks to area-specific music and exquisite lighting - and there are uncommon infected (e.g. riot police, hazmat suits) for each of them.
Another thing worth mentioning is the event director for the game. It's an embedded program that helps make each run through the game a different one through manipulating the map (i.e. changing the positions of the props and spawning hordes of infected). It really helps keep the game fresh, even in stagnant areas.
If anyone has the guts to try it out, the game's available on Amazon and Steam. We can play together sometime.

Pakistan
I heard the news that my father will go to Pakistan for two months this summer on business. I have an image that Pakistan is a dangerous country, so I'm anxious about him a little.
The Fan and the Flower
The Fan and the Flower
Main characters: a ceiling fan and a flower
Setting: In an old house on a little hill located in a village. It is in the present time during spring.
Point of view: Omniscient
Conflict: The fan and the flower vs the environment
Climax: When the fan was spinning so much that it came off the ceiling
Symbol: 1. The bird at the beginning of the video clip is a symbol for freedom
2. The fan is a symbol of technology, or human created things
3. The flower is a symbol of nature
4. The dust is a symbol of death
Irony: The flower revived after the fan had gone away
Theme: sacrifice yourself for the loved ones
I thought it was very charming story. It was interesting how two completely different
objects ( flower and fan ) were illustrated with affections for each other. Maybe there is another way of how to interpret it than just regarding love.

Reunion at Shinjuku
Last night, I went to Shinjuku to reunite with the members of my old cram school.
There were many students from other universities and I made many friends there.
We played some games to get extra food.
Because most of us met each other for the first time, we had so much fun together.
I'm looking forward to joining upcoming events, too.

Minato Mirai Hall
Yesterday I went to Minato Mirai Hall for the spring concert of the orchestra.
I played the Carnival Overture by Dvorak, which was fun, and listened to the other songs played by my Senpais. Now I have to start studying...
I forgot to write about the climax for the Fan and the Flower, so I'll add it here.
climax: the Fan "crashed through the roof and into the open sky."

Hakone
This weekend, I went for a trip to Hakone with my family.
There was a little possibility of eruption, but our trip ended safely. I'm glad to come back alive and see you guys tomorrow!
We enjoyed many things like making tombodama or so, but just sitting on back seat and look at the scenery flows from the window was the best. I really get relaxed.
And I found that I haven't spent enough time with my family since I entered the university because I had been in whirl of business. From now on, however busy I am, I'd like to have more time not only with my friends but with my family.

Racket
Today, I bought myself a new racket which I'll be using it for about 2years.
Since I'm gonna be using it for a long time, I had myself to consider which racket to pick for almost 3weeks. Even though I'm not being placed myself in a circle or club, I'm playing tennis at a tennis club which is about 20mins from my house. I had my life changed be a tennis coach/player there.
I'll talk about him next time (￣▽￣)
Good night everyone!!!

coughed too much...?
On Tuesday night, I had this pain in my back and I went to see a doctor on Wednesday morning.
After taking a lot of exams, I got this result that one of my rib was cracked.
It hurts sooooo much and now I have to put the corset on and have to keep quiet.
Meeting friends from High School
Yesterday, I met some people from my high school times. One of them is going to study abroad in the USA for the next few years and her flight will be from Tokyo. So, yesterday she came all the way from Yamaguchi and we met to have a good time together before she leaves Japan. We walked around Shibuya and ate lunch.
Since I'm living by myself near Shibuya my friends took rest at my place. My room is very small but fortunately there was enough space for everyone. I hope my friend is going to have a wonderful time in the USA. I'm sure she will make precious experiences and I'm pretty jealous! :D
Oh and next week I wanted to go play soccer at Yoyogi park or somewhere else with people from this IE core class! Maybe on Friday?? I found out that there are many people who like playing soccer, so I thought why not? It would be so fun to hang out and we could also eat dinner together :)

book report
Today I finally finished reading the book "the notebook." I personally liked the plot a lot and the ending. The reason why I liked it was because it wasn't just like those ordinary love stories where they end up together with no conflict left. Also, this story let the reader imagine what had happened to these two main characters half way through the story because it was not explained and I was able to freely imagine how these characters ended in the future.
The novel started off with Noah who is the main character reading his notebook. At first I did not understand what was happening but when it came closer to the end I figured out that Noah was reading it to his love Allie. Noah is reading to her about their love story because she has forgotten everything about herself, her life and her lover. Allie thinks that it is a story of different lovers and listens every time. And the story goes on...
What I especially liked about this novel is how the main character Noah was so into Allie and never let her go even if she had an illness that caused her to forget him. It let me reflect about how I should be treating my friends and family and people who are important to me.

fan and the flower
The animation we watched during class was called "The fan and the flower." It was about the fan and the flower that is the main characters falling in love with one and another. This was set inside the house and is probably happening in the present. The animation is talked from the omniscients point of view because the feelings of the fan and the flower can be known from the speaker.
The conflict in this story is that the fan and flower can never be together because they cannot move no matter how hard they try. And also, the house keeper forgets to give water to the flower so it starts to die and the fan tries its best to help but it did not work. In the climax, the fan spins as fast as it can and breaks the roof that was stuck to itself. By breaking the roof the rain was poured onto the flower. From this the flower was able to bloom and it bloomed to be a flower which looks and spins just like the flowers lover.
The few symbols I picked up were, the flower which could symbolise love and wealth where the fan could be symbolised as illusion. The theme the author could have been trying to tell the reader is to do whatever you can for someone you truly love.

Writing my paper
Whilst writing my paper for Ms. Gomez's class, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't written a actual, real English paper since I left the States. The last time I wrote a paper was probably in my English literature class during my freshman year in high school. Gee, time flies doesn't it?
New camera
In a few days, I will be receiving my uncle's old camera, which he doesn't use anymore. the camera is a "Canon EOS 7s". It is one of the last cameras made in Japan that uses film.
I am very excited to receive my new camera!

Literary analysis on "The Fan and the Flower"
Main Characters: The fan, the flower, and the old lady.
Setting: In a two story house; possibly in a rural area.
Conflict: There are two conflicts; one is that the fan loves the flower and struggles to get her attention, and the other one is how the fan and the flower want to get closer to each other, but cannot accomplish it.
Symbols: The fan symbolizes movement, and the flower symbolizes color.
Climax: When the fan overspeeds and breaks a hole in the roof; allowing rain to pour onto the flowerpot.
Irony: The irony is how the flower didn't mind or even care about the fan at first; but after they fell in love, they tried doing everything to get closer to each other. Hence, the irony is how the plot was completely flipped-around.
Theme: Love can give you strength beyond what you think you can do.

My dance circle's spring camp
After going back and forth and taking forever to decide I joined a dance circle outside of my own school. I tried out Aoyama Gakuin's dance circle as well and though they were amazing my heart went towards WUB. WUB is Waseda University's official dance circle however, almost half the members are from other universities. They call this a " inkare " circle which I believe means inter college. I'm sorry if I'm wrong ha! I went to the spring camp last weekend. It so much fun! I hadn't been dancing for a while so it felt so good to dance again! We had lessons and try out work shops of each genre in the day time and at night we would have DJ time and dance battles. I didn't enter in the dance battle however, watching the senpais battle made me want work harder and maybe battle sometime too. For those of you who don't know what a dance battle is I will explain. There are two teams on either side. As the DJ plays a random track of songs each person from the teams have to dance free style to whatever song is playing. One person must dance about 30 seconds each. Basically it is a dance show off. I have been dancing for four years now however, I do not have the confidence to battle. I am hoping that in WUB I can find my own style and be confident to battle. And although I am a hip hop dancer I have always wanted to do wack. Wack is a funk genre. In WUB I decided to join the wack genre in stead of hip hop. It's so foreign to me but I hope to become a good wack dancer as well.
late night thoughts
I went to work today. I haven't taught anyone for like 3 weeks for some reason, so I was nervous again. also this was my first time to teach two students at the same time. I'm basically really bad at talking to younger people than I am, I just don't feel comfortable around them, and today it bothered me a lot. I was supposed to talk about some random stuff with the students so that they don't get too bored in the class, but I just couldn't do it... i kept on explaining and checking their answers the whole time... if I was a student, I would hate me so bad. I can't believe I did that. it's only my third time teaching, but I'm already feeling like teaching is not my thing.. :((((
I wanna quite the job, but at the same time I don't wanna quit, because I think I will learn a lot things from it. "Oshieru koto ha manabu koto" , right?!
tomorrow I will have a class again so this time I will try harder to get along with the studnet.

evil rain
I hate rainy days. They ruin everything.
The heavy ones are even worse since they make us think that we might not have school the next day. Also, my sneakers aren't waterproof, so I can only wear flipflops on warm rainy days.
It is too warm to wear uggs now. I love going outside on a warm sunny day with breeze.
Sunlight gives me energy to survive each day.
I don't want to hear any roars of stormy winds hitting windows. They scare me a lot.
I hope I get to see the sun as soon as I can. I can't wait to enjoy sunny days in our campus.
(:
It's been a month since entering university.
At first, I was terrified.
I'm not used to seeing a lot of people except from going to lives and concerts.
For the last two years of high school I've always been taught man-to-man.
I've hardly ever been in a proper classroom with classmates.
I only had like, one lesson a week.
But now, there's millions of people around. Like, totally everywhere.
I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get used to it.
But now, I quite like the atmosphere and the fact that there are a lot of people.
And I'm blessed with having great people around me.
Musicmusicmusic.
Good morning.
I thought I'd introduce some of my favorite Japanese bands.
•Aobouzu
•Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas
•SiM
•The Masmisiles
•EGG BRAIN
There are loads more, but the bands that popped into my mind right now are the ones above.
Hope everyone has a good day.(:
Book report

I wondered going to school today, but since I did the assignment, I decided to go.

5/5
On May 5th, I went to my grandmother's house and met with my cousins.
There were two of my cousins. One is Gr.12 and the other is Gr.8.
The one in Gr.8 is a boy, and he is in the basketball club so he is really growing right now.
He is now taller than me, and since he was lower than me the last time I saw him, I was a little bit shocked.
We didn't do anything special. We just talked about our lives in the new environment.
I especially got excited in talking about my junior high school, because my cousin in Gr.8 and my sister and I went to the same junior high school.
We talked which teacher is the best or which teacher is not good and it was really fun.

Oktapodi
I thought it was a cute story .
It is a story about a octopus couple that is happy together. The man from the octopus butcher shop tries to take the pink octopus away. The orange octopus goes out to save the pink octopus. It has a small action where the orange octopus fights with the butcher guy in a truck. The orange octopus manages to save the pink octopus but ends up being caught by a bird. The pink octopus slings out to save the orange octopus making the viewers think it will continue.
Feeling sick
I've been feeling really bad today. I think I caught a cold because of the thin clothes i've been wearing yesterday. I hate gaging .
Analysis on Oktapodi
Oktapodi is, stripped down, a story about two lovestruck octopuses, a pink one and an orange one (the title seems to be the Greek word for "octopus"), as well as a cook. It takes place in a small Greek village by the sea during the day, although the camera starts rolling in the sea.
That's where the two octopuses are captured. The pink one is taken away by the cook, and the orange octopus chases after him; if it's not clear already, it's a conflict between the octopuses and the stubborn cook. I think the story arrives at its climax when the two octopuses unite and attempt to escape to the sea together. Yet, right when the cook crashes into the sea and the octopuses stop for a breather, a seagull attacks the orange octopus and takes IT away. The irony is clear here.
The two octopuses are a symbol of strong love, which sets up a premise for the orange octopus' gallant pursuit of the cook, as well as for the pink one's makeshift catapult. I think the theme/motif was, similarly, "Love conquers all".

reading Taco Bell blog
As I live in Shibuya, I have already heard the news of new-made Taco Bell, though I didn't have a mind to enter because of way too people waiting outside.
I had lunch or dinner at Taco Bell several times when I went to a trip to Hawaii. My family loved it,

Welcoming camp at Yamanashi.
I participated in a welcoming camp for freshmen held by AFW last Saturday and Sunday.
At first, I was really scared that I wasn't able to talk to anybody.
But all those worries disappeared the moment we arrived to Yamaguchi-ko.
I was able to communicate with a lot new people, and I was also able to discover new types of music which i would've never listened to if I wasn't recommended to.
It was an amazing experience and we were blessed with sunny weather.
Though it was only 2 days, it was something I won't be able to forget.

New joy camp in Elle!!!!
After Golden week, Iwent to a New joy camp in my circle Elle for two days.
Expressing it in one word, it was reallllllly exciting! I made a lot of new friends.
Every of them are nice and kind, and I know we can be good friends.
We played tennis for only a short time (!), though it was a very fun time for me.
The location was fantastic too. (Mt. Fuji!!!)
Ryosuke joins the same circle, so I want him to come the next summer camp!
Golden Week
As I wrote in the blog in the past, I
borrowed some movies during Goldenweek.
One of my favorite animation movie from
studio Ghibli, is “Princess Mononoke.”
I love the music and the beautiful nature
background, and I never get bored watching studio Ghibli movies even watching so
many times.
Ofcourse, I really got moved watching Princess
Mononoke this time too.
After finish watching the movie, I couldn’t move for a
while!
Oktapodi film
This is a story about two octopuses who are in love. One
day one octopus was took away to be cooked, and they help each other to be
together again.
The main characters are the two octopuses,
and a person who tries to take away the octopus.
It takes place in Greek, daytime (from the
beautiful white wall house), 2007.
Two octopuses vs. one person
(Lovers and who tries to break it)
When the female octopus tries to help the male
octopus which was taken away by the bird.
The octopuses are the symbol of strong
love.
An obstacle appears one after another, but
the two of them defeats every of them.
We can’t separate people (animals?) who
love each other.
It was a lovely film. I love it.
Watching the Oktapodi.
Main characters: Pink octopus, Orange octopus, human, and bird
The basic story/Setting: There were pink octopus and orange octopus in the fish tank. But the human took the pink one and put it on a truck. So the orange one imagined that the pink one is gonna be chopped and cooked. The orange one went to save the pink one. And after the conflict, the human focused too much on trying to get the two octopus that he ends up falling in ocean. However, the orange one gets taken by the bird and pink one tries to catch it back.
Oktapodi
The basic story of this video is...
First the two octopuses, the orange and the pink is in love with each other,
but they were separated by the chef. The orange octopus tries to save the pink octopus and
chased the truck. At the end, the chef were thrown into the sea, and the two octopuses were saved, but then a sea bird took the orange octopus away.
The main character is the orange and pink octopus.
Setting is I think in the morning because the chef needs the octopus before his store opens, and it is in a town near the ocean.
Conflict is octopuses vs person
Climax is where the chef and the truck were thrown away to the sea.
Symbol: The sea is the symbol of a place where you can be safe or a shelter.
Irony is that after the octopus were saved by the chef, th sea bird took the orange octopus, which means there were an opponent one after an another.
Theme is that don't cling onto such little thing or yu will be in more trouble.

About my book report:)
For my book report, I read "The Fault In Our Stars". And I've already finished reading my book.
It was really nice book. They are not just a love story, but also contains life lessons and many quotes that helps teenagers with their life when they are struggling. I actually have a DVD at home with me. And the movie was actually super good too.
I hope to write a good book report real soon!:)
Recent things:)
I recently quit my work at Hollister.Co Tokyo Bay for several reasons.
First of all, the image and purpose of the brand totally changed. They basically changed the hiring policy and he brand image. They now call the models as "brand representatives" and impact associates as "stock associates". They even stopped using sexual image or shirtless lifeguards on greetings or on their shopping bag. Also, they now allow associates to have more unnatural look such as allowing them to put eyelash extensions, allowing them to put more make up on such as eyeliner or eyeshadow, and allowing them to have more lighter dyed hair. And because they are not my thing, I quit working there.

Secondly, their designs and materials of clothes got so much worse even though they didn't change the price at all. Which made me feel like I would rather work in another surf brand like Roxy or Hurley.
Lastly and most importantly, I wanted to dream bigger and try something new on my model career. So far, I'm planning on auditions held in May and August.
Therefore, I quit my work at Hollister.Co Tokyo Bay. I'm not trying to offend this brand or telling people not to shop there, but this was just my personal opinion:)

Having our dinner at Taco Bell
Today, we went to Taco Bell for dinner. And the tacos was very big, larger than I thought. It was American sized! We waited quite a long time about 40 or 50 minutes, but it was very fun time eating and having a chitchat.
5/3
On May 3rd, I went to Matsudo with my Senpai from my part time job.
We borrowed a gym and played badminton, vollyball, and basketball.
Since I had played badminton in high school, it was very fun, but in basketball, I was just standing. In volleyball, we did a tournament. My team came in second. I was scared of missing the serve but fortunatelly I didn't.
After the gym, we went for dinner. All of my Senpai were drinking alcohol, and some of the first graders were too, but I didn't because I am weak at alcohol.
After all, it was a very fascinating day for me.
