part time job is stressful

I'm working at Sukiya near my house now. That is beside the station's stairs, so every time the train comes, a lot of people come in the same time. Order after orders comes and I have to be very quick to get all of them and then deliver everything to their table. Also I have to get the take outs order, too. Imagine doing all of that for hours😨
The worst part is when you mistake an order and the costumers complains at me 😅
I'll need more time to get used to it.
I thank my mom and dad for working every single day.

Always a goth kid

I was looking back at some pictures from my childhood and I always wore vampire clothes. 
Now that I am older and still wearing goth clothes people look at me like it's a phase. 
People, it's not a phase, I'm not emotionally damaged, I just am goth.
P.S. Dear 10 year old Angie, you still can't summon Lucifer.

Surprise!


Yesterday, I had a surprise birthday party in our club. We played the birthday song with our instruments. We went to buy a cake before the club activity. Going to buy the cake and preparing was kind of tiring, but also very fun. I was happy to see the birthday girl smiling!

Akane's mom♡

Last Saturday, there was a parent day, which I wrote about.
I did marching and cheering, and many parents took a video of us.
I was so surprised to hear that Akane's mom took a photo of me! I haven't met her, but she says that her mom recognize me!! I bet Akane showed some weird photos of me...haha

By the way, I'm really surprised by how the cheering people act. Seiya-kun must have been so hard to keep the pose for the whole song. He must be crying because of muscle pain. 😊

Anyways, I really want to see Akane's mom!!!!!!! Invite me to your house!!!!!!

Got super angry

Last Saturday, I hanged out with my friend.We were supposed to have a sleepover next weekend, and since recently I'm not able to go and and hang out with my friends that much, I was really looking forward with that sleep over with her. However, when I asked her what time is she  coming, she said that she can't come because she has a part time job. I got very disappointed to her, because she started the part time job the day before yesterday we've met, and we were planning the sleep over almost last month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I totally couldn't believe her and I still can't forgive her.
I've almost never had a fight with my friends( even tho its not my fault this time) so I don't know what I should do, and seeing her she's living her life as usual, I get sad and angry again. What should I do with it???

😑 😑 😑


I am sleepy.

I slept more than 11 hours on Saturday, 7 hours on Sunday, and 8 hours yesterday, but I am still sleepy.

When am I going to be awake?? 🤩🤩🤩

But I have NEVER fallen asleep during the classes in my entire life! Hya, hya.


book report2

The book I'm reading now is amazing! I cannot stop reading it because the story is very deep, and it makes you think about life.

I don't read books very much. The only genres of book I've read are love stories. Even though, I'm enjoying my new book a lot.

Yokohama

Yesterday I went to Yokohama with my friend.
We ate delicious food in China Town, had a nice walk, and took a lot of pictures.
I had a really nice day:)

Where is my free time?

I want more free time!!!!!!!!
I don't remember the last time I had all day for myself to sleep until noon and what Netflix. I like being busy with things I like, but I don't like to spend my time with homework and part time jobs.
That's why I'm looking forward for summer.

🚘🚘🚘

I drove a MANUAL CAR on roads outside a driving school! Hya, hya, hya.

Hya, hya, hya.

My car didn’t stall, either! Hya, hya, hya.

Life of Pi

Hiii!
Since I decided “Life of Pi” as a second book report book, I will go to Tutaya to get its movie version tomorrow. On the review, some say they got disappointed because the movie version was different from the original book. But others say the movie was great. I’ll see how it is and share my opinion on my book report. 

Father’s Day

Yesterday since it was a father’s day, I went to Sapporo Beer Factory in Chiba to have a dinner with my family. There were so many kind of beer and food which goes with beer. (Of course, I didn’t drink though.) I had a great time there. Also, I made a promise with my grandpa to go back the restaurant and have a drink together when I turn to twenty in this July.

Weekend

This weekend, my mother came to Tokyo from Yamaguchi. My mom cleaned up my room and had dinner. I met her for the first time in two month, so we talked a lot. It was really nice weekend. I already miss her so much.
I can't believe it's almost the half point of 2018!! Our first semester here will be finished very soon. Time flies... I might miss going to school while I'm on break, but the idea of summer just makes me so excited.

Recital for Kanto tournament

This weekend, my club activity had a pre performance for Kanto tournament. It’s my first time being in the cheerleading team and competing for the nationals. Last year, we couldn’t go to the nationals so seniors are very serious about this Kanto.
It was my first time wearing Aoyama Gakuin Reeses’s uniforms and it was very cute!!!

It was okay but we need more work. The tournament will be held from June 29~ July 1. I’ll be competing on June 29. Excited but little worried about it.

The Secret Garden

Finally, I watched the musical "The Secret Garden." It was far more better than I expected. Above all, Mari Hanahusa who acted Lilly was so beautiful that it's hard to think of her as something in this world. Actually, her role is in fact the person in the other world. I already read the script when I wrote my first book report but I could have a wonderful time.

I graduated from the driving school yesterday! I have one more big exam to pass to get my driver’s license. The final one is held on weekdays so I don’t think I’m taking it until this semester is over. Though I have no driving lessons from this week, reports due next month will kill my time. I wonder when I can start driving again…

Book report update

Started reading a book called A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle.
My American friend suggested reading this book because it is an American classic. Also, this turned out to be a movie this year by Disney.

Fathers Day

This Sunday was Fathers day. I think most families spent time with their family, though for me my Dad spent his time playing golf. So I couldn't say thank you to my Dad. I will say it tomorrow then.

Sunday

Today, I went to a restaurant where we eat everything by hand. We had to eat salad and cake by hand too, but it was great!! I loved it so I want to go there again. It was so good and everyone there were very nice. Is there any restaurants that you like?

Book Report 2

For second book report, I am reading Revenge Wears Prada. I've watched and read the first version, so I am enjoyind reading it :)

finding the edge

A book I ordered a few weeks ago just arrived from America.
It is an autobiography of an American skater, Karen Chen. The title is Finding the Edge.

I decided to buy this book not only because she is one of my favorite skater but because I love the way she expresses her feelings. The sentences she posts on Instagram are really beautiful and touching, and they always motivate me.
I just want to start reading it right now, but the reality is that I have so much stuff to do.
I don't think I can start reading it until when the test is over (or at least until I finish my book report)...

Book report

Next book report, I am doing The Devil wears Prada. I watched the movie couple of times and I really like it. Since the book is long, I have to keep reading.
Thanks for lending me the book Mirei:)

home page!!!!!!

I am making a home page for my club.

check it out!!!
(though I'm still working on it)

Book Report

I'm doing the novel Pride and Prejudice since I've enjoyed watching the movie but I never got my hands on the novel yet.

Super excited to read the novel but not too excited on writing a report on it...

There is just way too many big assignments coming up...smh

To the person thats reading The Fault in Our Stars

I remember reading that book when it just came out and being truly and completely honest...
I think it's a bit overrated.

The plotline is kind of stale but what really blew me off was the ending.

Even my middle school self was like "?!?!?!?!??!?!?" when I finished reading that book.

If you're going to read The Fault in Our Stars, I recommend the book called Looking for Alaska. It's by the same author John Green and I personally think it's 100000 times better.

There's a deeper plotline to the story and overall, it's more put together.
I remember there being a lot of symbols involved with the main topic being "mental issues".
It's a rather deep novel but trust me, it's worth reading (at least more than The Fault in Our Stars).

Dance to this

I tried to post a blog about the new song called "Dance to this" by Troye Sivan featuring Ariana Grande, but then everything dissapeared... Let me just say that I love both singers and the song. It came out early this morning and I got ready listening to the song. I actually started to dance to it haha
However, my favorite singer and the song right now is not Ariana nor Troye(I love them so much but), it`s Hayley Kiyoko`s "What I need". Both of these songs are great and if you like pop music, you have to listen to it!

School Festival

Last Saturday, I went to the school festival at my high school. Since my school is a six year secondary school system, the school festival is very big. Junior high school students do performances such as plays and dances. High school students can do attraction, variety games, movies, and restaurants. To do such things, we need to pass tests for safety rules and attractiveness. 

Many club activities also do performances in the school festival. This year we had dance club, science club, photography club, origami club, calligraphy club, tea club, and art club. Also, students taking the music class have to sing in a cappella in front of an audience. 

We get watermelons if we get selected as the best of something. 
It is super fun and I'm glad that I got to go this year too. 

Book Repoert 2

My new book for the book report will be The Fault in our stars. I think many people know this book since it became a famous movie. The movie also came in Japanese called, "kitto hoshi no seijya nai"

I'm very excited to read this book because everyone says that it's a really good book and I've never read it and watched the movie before.
The book is bit long but I'll try to read everyday!

marching on parents day

Did you know that there is a parents day coming up?
It's on this Saturday, and I will be performing marching for the first time in my life!
We have been practicing it for few weeks, but I still can't remember all the moves...... I hope it would go well.

1984. book report

I'm going to read a book called 1984 written by George Orwell.
This book is probably about the people being watched and brainwashed all the time.
I wonder how the story goes... the eye in the book cover sometimes make me frightened.

Reaction Paper for Tues. 6/19

Thank you all for your excellent participation in the KEF lecture. The suggestion was made that we make our reaction paper for the workshop be our media discussion paper as well. Done. Please just produce a good summary and reaction paper in APA style about this lecture for next class (no newspaper article discussion needed). You see, anything is a “text” or “medium.”
These days, I have been searching for some delicious restaurants.
Do you have any recommendations??

rainy days

So sadly, because of the typhoon it started raining hard and it turn out cold for a hole day. And today was cold too. Its difficult to choose clothes in this particular season. You get frustrated if you get a wrong outfit...
Yesterday, I went to cheer on my juniors from high scool at their swimming competition. They reminded me of my good old youth...
I thought I have to go swimming once in a while to stay healthy bacause I feel I'm old these days, especially when I run to catch the bus or go up the stairs,

THE TONY AWARDS 2018

Finally, I could watch the Tony Awards 2018!!!
I was too excited to take classes today because I couldn't help checking which musical won the award and how their performances were going on Instagram and twitter all day.
I haven't finished watching all of the show, but I almost brust into tears when the high school students in Florida where the gun incident took place sang "Seasons of Love" from Rent.
Watching those performances made me really want to go to Broadway and watch "Frozen Broadway" and "Mean Girls Broadway" though I don't have time and money to do that...

Book report


I’m reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer for my second book report because I’ve been interested in it since I started reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn for my first one. This book is written by Mark Twain as well. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Fin, he says it doesn’t matter if readers have read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer before, but this beginning made me feel I’d like to read it. As far as I read some pages of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, I find him being adventurous and he likes to make a vow before starting something. I’m excited to see his everyday adventures in this book.

cable is gonna be torn apart

My cable for iPhone charging is going to be torn apart. I bought it three or four years ago, so maybe it's time to buy new one. To tell the truth, I have extra one so i dont need new one.

Dracula

I chose Dracula by Bram Stoker for my second book report. I like horror movies and sometimes watch movies of dracula. So i decided to read this book.

I, Robot

I chose I, Robot for my second book report because Confessions of a Shopaholic, which I chose for my first book report was not as interesting as I had expected, and I wanted to read the totally different genre of a book.

There is a movie version of this novel, and I borrowed a DVD from ◯SUTAYA today!

I’m looking forward to watching it tomorrow!




IKEA

I went to IKEA this weekend with my family. That's because we wanted to see if the drawer I want fits in my room.....Actually we found out it doesn't :((((  Hope I can find a another nice one. (FYI yogurt ice cream there is great. you should try it)

Life of Pi


I chose Life of Pi for the second book report. It has a movie version, which I've always wanted to see. That's why I picked up the book. I'm trying to write a better report this time.✊

Rain

It is so rainy these days... and since the climate is very humid, my hair is going crazy. Oh, on weekend, I saw a film crew shooting for drama in park. It was my favorite drama, so it was interesting to see the shooting.
I bought a book for book report, which is Revenge wears Prada. I started reading it, and I cannot wait the climax!
Life is shit 

Book report #2

For my second book report, I chose Pygmalion. The reason I chose this book is because I've seen the movie when I was small and I love Audrey Hepburn, the most famous actress during the golden time of Hollywood. Audrey Hepburn acted as a heroine in the movie version known as "My Fair Lady." I thought I would be able to enjoy myself by rewatching the movie and reading the original book. Looking forward to finish my book as soon as possible!!!!!!

Book for my second book report

For my second book report,  I am reading 13 reasons why. This book is about a girl who committed suicide. She recorded tapes before she died, talking about why she killed herself, and send it to the 13 people in the order of the tapes. The boy who gets the tape (first person point of view at the moment) is Clay, and I still haven’t read to the part where he is in it, but I would like to finish it as soon as possible because I’m really curious about what’s going to happen. Also, there is a TV show you can watch on Netflix.

Madosh cafe

I went to a cafe in Shibuya called Madosh cafe. I had avocado smoothie, soup, snacks and green curry! They were soooo good!!!! Also, my friend was working there, and it was nice to see her :) The same restaurant is in Harajyuku and I might go there too (they have the same menu though)
