Whether I should buy a computer
I've been thinking of buying a computer to play computer games. Because my laptop has weak GPU, I can't concentrate when playing them.
Yesterday, I went to a picnic of the brass band club in AGU. It was sooooooooooo hot, and I was very tired after the lecture. We did a lot of games such as "fruit basket", "gesture game" ... and so on. It was a nice opportunity to talk with seniors and I really liked the atmosphere of this club!
This club even goes to the Hakone Ekiden to cheer the track and field club!! It seems fun, but I'm really worried if I can keep up with the club and also studies......

Mochi mochi
The trend of showing pets almost ended but I would like to share my dog. Actually I have an allergy to dogs and cats so my dog in my house means just a stuffed animal. He came from Korea. My friend sent me him as my birthday present! He is very cute. And most importantly, when you touch him, he makes you feel very relaxed since he is mochi mochi!!!!!
concert
I went to a concert today at Hibiya Yagaiongakudou with my friend from highschool.

Since it was a nice day the concert (held outside) was wonderful and I enjoyed myself there. It’s my first time going to a concert that it isn’t ONEOKROCK, so I felt fresh to experience an different type of a live concert!!!
I think I’m spending too much to hang out somewhere, so I seriously think that I should strat saving my money😂😂
Do you have something you are crazy about??
Hope you have a nice weekend:)

Good night
Lately, my stomach feels heavy and I have bad stiff shoulders, but I don’t know why.
I might be becoming like an elderly person or something...
The wrong train took me to a baseball stadium
It happened this morning.
I was on my way go for lunch from where I was taking a make-up driving lesson since I miserably failed the driving skill check test last week. I was supposed to change trains at the next stop, but I didn't. I was so absorbed in texting messages that I forgot to get off the train at the right station. The wrong one was bound for Metlife Dome (Seibu Dome) so I accidentally reached there. What was worse, I missed another train to go back so I was very late for the restaurant where my father was waiting at. He was nicely calm, maybe because he was outside.
Well, the messages that made me excited were from the person who overcame challenges in a city and successfully went back to his hometown. I may encounter some difficulties in a big city Shibuya, but I'll try to be courageous like him.

I lost my voice!
I woke up to find my voice so husky that I can hardly make myself heard today.
My throat has been achy since yesterday, but I can’t imagine that I’m having such a symptom in spring.
It seems a big disadvantage, however, look at the other side.
When I was at home this morning, no one including me heard me scream ” I have to hurry!” since I’m reluctant to speak up.
So my terrible voice has brought my family a peaceful time.

On my second post, I’d like to introduce my cat,Sora. He’s a 5 year old Scottish fold. I love him so much but his favorite family member is my dad just because he gives Sora midnight snack. As you can see in this picture, he sits like a human and it’s very entertaining.

Good evening.
My first post with a photo.
I’m afraid I don’t have dogs or cats, but I’d like to show my pet that may not be familiar with you.
Do you see the beautiful creature fluttering on my head?
It’s my swallowtail butterfly which used to be a tiny wiggly caterpillar.
It spent its wintertime inside the pupa and it just came out of it.
I’m sure that I’m raising its kids this summer too.
Self intro
Hi this will be my first blog post so I will briefly introduce my self.
My name is Ritsuko, but please call me Lico. That's my nick name that my parents gave me when I lived in the US, also most of my American friends call me by that name. So call me Lico please.
My favorite thing is watch "Supernatural" a famous drama series that has been on air for 13 seasons. Also If you know any cartoons from Cartoon Network,
just come to me. We need to talk:)

I love animals and I'm very happy to see your photos of cute dogs!
I think my dog is really cute too!
Unfortunately, I couldn't find the way to post my photo on this blog, but let me introduce him.
His name is Chocolat, and he is a eight-year-old Miniature Dachshund. His color is very beautiful shaded-cream.
He really likes to eat and always calls for food. His favorite food is bread.
I love him very much but I don't like to take a walk with him because he doesn't walk much.
I'm happiest when I take a nap with him:)
If you want to look at a picture of my dog or know how to make my dog walk, please tell me tomorrow!

His name is Willan and he has black log hair, has weird spots allover his body and he loves music so much he starts to scream to sleeping with sirens. He curls up in my bed leaves hair EVERYWHERE, and eats like a beast and gets my room dirty. Yep, he's a total pain in the
ass.

The second post
Good evening, everyone!
This is my second post. I want to share something interesting with you guys but this week nothing special happened to me...So I’m gonna post a photo of my dog Cocoa.

Yesterday I went to see my friend's ballet recital. She says she couldn't do her best, but still she was really beautiful. She's not in this class but she is a student in this department too!
By the way, thanks for the message Eri! My favorite musical is "Annie" and "the Sound of Music". Now I really want to see "wicked" and "Les Miserables". I'm glad to have a friend who knows a lot about musicals:)

crying is not the only way to show sadness
I had been a Girl Scout until today. Today, I graduated from this activity! The commencement was where I should cry but I couldn’t. I think the reason why I cannot cry much even if I am so sad is that I do not have eye bugs which are called “namida bukuro” in Japan. Anyway it was a proudful moment:)
