Last night

 I went to see iluminations at Roppongi and visited Nunu-chan's house last night. 4 of us had nabe at her house. We put many vegetables, tofu, malony and noodle. Since I live alone and had no chance to have nabe, I really enjoyed it. Also, I came to like malony which I had never had. I really thank Nunu-chan for letting us spend great time at her house.

Presentation.

Right now I`m practicing my group presentation with Momoko.
On fifth period, IE listening, I have to do a group presentation in front of everyone.
I`m a little bit nervous but hope I can do my best.

Message
      I think there are two messages. The first message is conflict. Companies seek profits. They sometimes conflict with other companies. I think this short movie well represents the competition society.
     Another message is that the world is maintained by people. Companies are established by people. Now, there are many corporations. Many founders have been established their own companies and we live in such world. People made the developed and comfortable world.
     However, the land was destroyed in the last part of the movie. I think it suggests the end of the earth. People have made this world, but it is people that will also ruin the world. We are responsible for our world.

About the story

Big Boy and Esso Girl tried to run away and they finally succeeded. However, most of the land was  swallowed by the ocean. They were left alone in the island.

What is the story?

The setting of this story is at LA in present times. All buildings and characters are real company’s logo. This story is about fight between police and villain. While they are fighting, the big earthquake happened. In the end, the land of LA is collapsed.

What is the message?

              This short movie tells us the importance of harmony between nature and human. The logos in this short film represent the profits that human made without thinking of nature. I think that this short film suggests us that many logos in this film should cooperate more each other to take measure for environment problem. 

Logorama

Summary

There were a country filled with logos. People who live there are all mascot characters. Donald, the Macdonald's mascot character, kills many people and the policeman tried to catch him. At the end, there were big earthquake and all the logos and the characters disappeared.

Message

I think the message of this movie is that this world is filled with many logos and the company uses them to get attention of the customers. Most of the commercials are acted by the Mascot characters and humans get lazy. Humans need to stop rely on the logos.

Chicago.

 

 

Yesterday I went to see the musical, CHICAGO.
I was totally amazed by the song, dance and everything!!!
Because of the student discount, I was able to see it at the price of 5000 yen, which is pretty reasonable to see a musical.
While I`m a student, I would like to see as many musical as I can.

Came back!

I came back from Guam!
The sea was very beautiful, and all food that I ate were delicious!
The best thing during staying at Guam was the nice weather.
Although the weather forecast was rainy, all day were sunny.
This trip made me refresh, so I will study hard again from tomorrow.

Logorama

This is a story of a city full of logos. One day, a shooting incident and the earthquake happens at the same time. Everyone in the city gets into a panic and everthing in the city is destroyed.

People chase brand stuff because some think having them is a status but the status is actually quite fragile.

My High School Days

I went to Meikei Gakuen High School in Ibaraki. It took 15 minutes by bicycle from my house. My school is six-year secondary school and the student of all school years wears the same uniform and indoor shoes. So you cannot distinguish the school year of each of them at first sight.

There were a lot of school events throughout the year. The students were active and powerful. For example, in Mt. Tsukuba Camp, we walked more than 20km to Mt. Tsukuba from school in our second-year of junior high school. It was at the last of September and the last summer heat was still severe. When we were second-year senior high school students, we swam 4km in the sea at the event of the long-distance swim during the summer vacation. Both of them were really hard and not so much fun but now I feel it was good experience for us.

More remarkable features of my school were dormitory and the system of admitting returnees. Therefore I could meet many people from many countries and prefectures.

I really think Meikei is good school and I was lucky to spend years there.

Tokyo Disney Sea

Yesterday, I went to Tokyo Disney Sea. It was the first time for me to go there in Christmas season. Because of weekday, it wasn't crowded so much. We enjoyed greeting with Disney characters, riding attractions, and appreciating Christmas shows both day and night. I hope to go there again soon!

Musical.

These days I`m interested in watching musical.
On Tuesday I decided to go to see the musical called Chicago after fifth period.
I`m very excited!!!

Snowy Home

My brother and I always text each other as I have mentioned. He sent me some photos today to show me they got much snow. When I went back to my hometown 2 weeks ago, we had the first snow of this year but it was not so much. Although I see snow every year, I always get excited when I see the snow covering the town. It's fantastic. It makes me tired when I have to remove the snow in front of the house but I still like snowing weather. I want many people to experience winter in Hakodate.

Guam

From tomorrow, I will go to Guam for vacation.
I went to Guam nine years ago, but I have no memory. 
I want to enjoy beautiful sea, food, and culture of Guam.
I promise that I buy souvenirs for IE class member.
I have to wake up early tomorrow, so I go to bed soon. 
Good night.

Logorama

What’s the story?

There is a country which consists of logotypes. Various kinds of famous logos appear in this video such as KFC, Esso, LEVI’S, and EMI. The people who are walking the street are also logos or the company’s characters. One day a random shooting incident occurs and natural disaster strikes; the country almost collapses.

 

What’s the message?
Today lots of companies compete with one another to make a profit and it often looks like a war. Large enterprises watch for a chance to take advantage of their opponents. However, they sometimes seem to care about only their benefit and not to consider environment or ecosystem. These days the problems about child labor and awful employment contract become clear. I once heard the news that certain companies employed women and children for low-wage and the product was very close to us. I think this video shows us the near future: destroyed world by excessive business competition. We should go back to the starting point and remember what the business for. I also feel the artist thought of MacDonald’s as the wirepuller in the world; Donald Macdonald was nothing but the villain.

Mirage

Story: This is a story of a robot which needs water to keep his life. He looks for water to fill his water tank. He found something like balloon which has much water in it. When he broke it, a fish appeard from it. The fish also needs water for living. The robot put the fish in his tank.

Message: Sharing is the way everyone can live happily.

Mirage

The story is about a robot who cannot live without water. It wanders around to find water. It is not easy for this robot to survive because even if it had water in it's body, it can easy spill out. The robot survives by getting water little by little. Finally, the robot found some water he can get but there lived one fish. The robot saw the fish been thrown out of the water. THe robot put the fish in his body to live together. To share the water to live.

The message of this story that I think is how people should think of others. Robot is symbolising us human. When people are at a border of live and death, how would we behave? In this story the robot had a heart. the robot needed the water to live, but it didn't take away the fish's life. The robot helped the fish. It shows how people could be heart warming even when we are in an emergancy. When we might die. When we are scared or anxious. It reminded me of the 3.11 earth quake. People all over the world said that Japanese people were so heart warming. Thinking about others, helping others even though you are also in an emergancy.  

No border

Have you ever watched a magic show on TV or seen someone perform magic in front of you? 

There are many magicians around the world, but I particularly like one street magician who is half Japanese and half French(now you can guess who he is). Street magicians are those who gether people around and show their performance in front of people in the street. 

He performs not only in Japan but also in other countries such as the States, Malaysia and Brazil.

What I really like about him is the reason he does magic. When I watch him on movies on the Internet I can tell, from his performance, that this guy does not only love magic but wants to entertain and please people and give them hope through his magic. He never does it because it's a job to do. 

Magic is not just about tricks or surprises but rather it is one way of communicating with people (around the world). There's no border. I really want to be like him. 

Bike

Now I want to buy a bike so much. Last week, I lent a bike from my friend. Then, I feel so confortable. I can't express the feeling. I feel the fresh air by forests, sun, and river. I recommend you cycling so much!!

Story

A strange robot was looking for water in order to survive. When he was looking for water, he found a pipe where water is coming from. However, on his way to get the water, he fell over and lost most of his water that was in his tank. Then he ripped off the orange bag that was filled with lots of water. As he were doing, a fish came out of the bag and fell on the ground. He picked up the fish and put it inside his tank.

Message

This story is telling us how water is important in our lives.

Mirage

Story: An odd robot is swimming and walking in the bottom of the sea. His energy of the moter is generated by water, so he need to provide it with water. He reached to a building and went into it. Inside the building, he went up the stairs and faced a room. At the room, he saw a strange tank. He cut the tank and made his body full of water. However, in the tank, a fish lived and it falt on the floor, because the robot got the water. He catched the fish and made it be into his body filled by water.

Message: The robot is like human, because it needs to make 60% of the body filled by water. We human being sometimes breaks other animals and natural environment because of living. But we should think about coexistence more.

illumination

Now is christmas season, and there are so many beautiful illuminations in our town. I like illuminations very much, so I want to go to many illumination spots.

This is in Shibuya station. Red color is very beautiful.

This is in Minatomirai. I live in Yokohama, so I can go to Minatomirai soon. I like Minatomirai the best.

When he climbed this establishment, he found like a sack that included water. He got that water and then, he knew this sack was a fish's. He dicided to live this fish together.

message: There is a sacrifice when we try to get something to live, absolutely. Thanks to many sacrifices, we are able to live, so we must not forget this truth. 

Shooting star

I hanged out with Hiroki after school. I saw a shooting star when I was walking with him! I am not sure if it was a shooting star or a UFO. I got really excited! I had a good Thursday night.

Mirage

Story: The robot is collecting water in his tank to sustain his life. While looking for water to collect, he finds this pipe where water is drooping. He tries to get the water from the pipe, but on his way, he trips and losses most of the water in his tank. He gets to the place where the tank was and finds a big bag filled with water. He tore the bag and poured the water into his tank. His tank was filled up again. However, a fish came out of the bag with no water. The robot allowed this fish into his tank, and both the robot and the fish were saved.

Message:  We have to keep in mind that  life is comprised with the sacrifice of others.

Travel plans

I will go to Osaka in January with my university friends.
We are going to visit Universal Stadio Japan.
I went there four years ago and I have wanted to visit there again, so I an looking forward it very much :-)
Also, I will visit Ishigaki Island with my high school friend during spring vacation in order to see the camp of Chiba Lotte Marines because we are big fans of it.
I have a lot of plans and I cannot wait!

Mirage

Story: a robot walked searching for water. He wanted it sincerely. After he searched it for a long time, he finally found it on the top of a tower. He climbed it, then reached the very place. When he entered water into his body, he noticed that there was fish in it. He decided to live with the fish in his body.

Message: To coexist with other features, we should not monopolize  precious resource but share it with them.

Give me information!

I mentioned I was planning to travel to Korea or Taiwan in the past blog.
However, my friend changed her mind again and again, and now we are planning to travel to Sakurajima, or Yakushima in Kagoshima prefecture.
Other sites proposed for our travel are Aizu Wakamatsu in Fukushima prefecture, Shikoku, and Kyushu. 
Do you have any recommendation for these areas?
If you have, please let me know.

Mirage

The story is about: environmental problems. Especially, water shortage and food crisis on earth. I think the robot is the symbol of human. It is what we're going to look like without water or food in the future if we don't pay more attention to what is happening on earth.

The message is: to care, make an effort to keep our planet beautiful, and help each other when someone needs help.

my circle

I belong to ski circle though I have never done ski in my whole life.
I am quite nervous because it is winter now, so we go to mountain and do ski almost whole winter vacation. I believe it will be a lot of fun but since I know nothing about ski, i am a bit nervous.
But I have good friends in my circle so I think I can enjoy it.

Story: A robot is about to die because it lack of water. The robot walk around to fine water and in the end, he got to a huge amount of water but it was also about to kill the fish in it. The robot put the fish in its body and both of them were saved.

Message: to be selfish sometimes kill others. we need to pay attention to surroundings.

Today.

Today in my forth period (principle of education lesson), I have a trial lesson.
I will do a English lesson with my group members in front of everyone.
It`s quite scary and I`m a little bit afraid.
Anyway I think the only thing I can do is to relax.

Mirage

What is the story about?

A robot collects water into its tank to continue to live and it gathers water from plant. The place where it lives looks ruined factory. One day the robot almost runs out of water and it finds a ladder and climbs up onto the roof. There it finds a plant with a big fruit and a fish is in it. It tries to break the fruit and gets plenty of water though the fish seems to nearly die without water. The robot determines to put the fish into its tank to live together.

 

What is the message?

Human have been depended on fossil fuel like petroleum, coal, and natural gas; however we have been all to be careless that wasting those resources for a long time. It certainly has limit and we must take the problem of the depletion of natural resources more seriously. To coexist with all living creatures, we have to consider a concrete plan to save energy and protect nature.  

My regret

I regret wasting my high schol days. It was the worse period in my life. The teachers were very strict, there were few friends, and I was bored to supend monotones days. I didn't have clear goal at that time (and still now...). Now, I think I should have studied abroad while I was a high school student. If I had have done so, my life would have been greater.
Since I am a negative person, I can't think things optimisticlly and I always regret. But I strongly wish I could try my past 3 years once more.

story: A robot tries to find water which is necessaty for him.

Today's lunch

Today, Megumi and I went to the shop near AGU for lunch.

This tortilla is only 500yen.
The taste was Teriyaki, and many vegetables were in this tortilla.

Illumination3

Last Saturday, I went to see illuminations again after my part-time-job. 

We walked from 2Azabuzyuuban” to "Tokyo Tower” and “Ark Hills” and “Roppongi.”

I guess you don’t know about “Ark Hills” It is in Roppongi. And you can see fabulous christmas tree in there. Also, there are no people around there, so I recommend it! 

I guess I go to see illumination too much. 

four mission match

Last Sunday, our swimming team had a match with other schools such as Sophia University, Meiji Gakuin University, and Rikkyo University. This match is held every year and we call it four mission. This is because all of this schools are mission schools. Our goal was to win the match and be in the first place but we unfortunately ranked in the second place.

Morning.

I'm can`t believe that There is only a month left this year.
Time goes by so fast.

These days it is hard for me to get up early in the morning since
it is getting colder and colder.
I hope I could sleep as long as I want!!!

Lucky day

Today, my fourth period was cut, so I went shopping to Tama plaza for the first time.
Tama plaza station was very big, and Tama plaza was filled with many families.
There were many famous brand shops, and children's playgrounds in Tama plaza.
I thought that the area near Tama plaza is suited for child rearing.

I live on the Denentoshi Line, but I have never stopped at any station except my nearest station. I am interested in Sangenjaya and Futagotamagawa.
I want to go to these stations someday.

Subway

I had Subway sandwich for lunch today. It was good. I enjoy having different lunch every day. I can't wait to have good lunch tomorrow!

Expenses for One Child

Lately I have realized that it takes an enormous amount of money to raise a child. Living expenses, medical expenses, school expenses…. It is over whelming and I wonder how much my parents and relatives have spent for me until now. I work part-time once or twice a week but the pay always goes toward paying for clothes or traveling costs.

I have bought some presents for my parents several times, though I cannot afford to it these days. I decide to give big presents to them when I get job. But now, the best thing is to go to school and study hard, not to waste the tuition fees.
