Sunday morning

    What do you all do on Sunday morning? Get up early and read news paper with coffee? Or sleep until noon? Everyone has own routines to be relaxed. In my case, I go to the church  and praise God. That is the thing what I would love to. I have a relationship with him who forgives my sins and shows unexpected love to me as my creator. I am very thankful for today and people he gives me in God's sacred country. He bless and love you all.(: have a wonderful day!

No tennis No life

I have started playing tennis when I was in elementary school in America.
I just started because of the reason that my brother was doing it.
At first I just started because I had plenty of free time and at that moment I was not doing any sports.
After I entered junior high school,  I quited tennis and started playing baseball.
Baseball was fun, but while the three years at baseball club at junior high school, I started to feel
"I wanna play tennis."
This was a feeling I had never felt when I was playing tennis in elementary school.

After I entered high school, I immediately joined the tennis club. I even became the captain of the tennis club. Everyday at high school was so much fun. Playing tennis everyday after school with the club members was so wonderful that I have always thought if this would last forever. It was part of my life.

And  now I am a university student. Even though I won't  be able to play tennis everyday anymore,
I would like to keep in touch with tennis in someway. So far I'm planning to be a tennis coach.

My pet

 Let me talk about my pet. I began to have a cat when I was in junior high school. Her name is Nana because her birthday is on July 7, the Star Festival. Everyone calls her Nana-chan. She is a type of "Manchikan" that has short legs. She knows when feeding time is, when the time comes, she walks into the kitchen and says "Mew-Mew." She also knows the word 'FOOD', 'GOHAN', and if someone says"GOHAN", she answers, "Mew". When I call her name, "Nana-chan", she wags her tail. Sometimes she lies down, showing her belly like a dog. This is the sign that she wants to be patted.
 

Nana-chan is so cute. To tell you the truth, I preferred dogs to cats before I had Nana. The reason why I chose a cat is that it isn't allowed to have a dog in my apartment. Then I realized how cute the cats are!
 I love you, Nana-chan!

Discussion paper

Good evening everyone!

Although, I guess it's a little late to say good evening.

I went through a lot of newspapers today to decide an article that I want to
write about in the discussion paper. Finally I decided what to write about
and now I'm working on it.

It seems like the habit of waiting until the very last minute has not been cured.
I know. It's a very bad habit  and I'll try to start earlier next time.

I'll try to get it done as soon as I can and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone
in class again!

Good night.

Singapore

 Hi! I'm Chie Kikugawa. I went to English conversation school for 6 years, but I'd never been to foreign countries until recently. Finally, I had a chance to go abroad! Last month I went on 4 days' trip to Singapore with my mother. I stayed at marina bay sands hotel used by the television advertising of Softbank company. SMAP, a famous J POP group sang there. The scenery was so beautiful that maybe we took hundreds of pictures only there, I'm serious.

Fortunately, I could see a press conference of "spiderman" at the hotel! I'm a big fan of "spiderman," so I became so excited. The movie, "Amazing Spiderman 2," will be released on April 25, 2014 in Japan. I'm going to watch it immediately after being released. Go spider!

 To my surprise, when we went to Universal Studios Singapore, I danced on the street! There were 5 dancers and they said they wanted to dance with somebody. I raised my hands because my mother said "Go" over and over again and I was a member of the dance club in high school. My clear blue clothes that I wore that day made me conspicuous, so I and other 4 people were called on by them. I thought I just danced with the dancers, but didn't. One of them said "It's going to be freestyle one by one." Omg. Eyes poped out. I danced alone in front of  about 300 people. I danced hip hop that is the best type of dance for me. When I think back on it now, it was a precious experience.

 We went to many places, and each of them hold a lot of memories. In Singapore smoking, littering, spitting, and chewing gum are forbidden and there are many beautiful buildings. That is why Singapore is so beautiful. I want to go there again. I also want to go to many other countries. To hope for more, I want to live in foreign countries for a long time like other students in IE3 class.

 Anyway I want someone to take me back to Singapore. haha

Today

Today was a wonderfully productive day.

In the morning, I went to a barber and had my hair cut.

My hair was a little long but became neat and tidy.

During haircut , I got a little irritated with the person next to me! 

He is a talkative person.

He talked about famous people he met.

His talk didn't stop.

In the afternoon, I went to Shibuya and Harajyuku.

I went to many clothing shops and enjoyed shopping very much.

I looked for a birthday present for my friend.

We are looking foreword to the birthday.

I hope that my friend will be glad.

Thank you for reading!

Lucky day!

I had a luck day, because I got my hair cut for free! I was walking around Daikanyama for nothing,then a guy talked to me and asked me if he could do my hair. I had time and nothing to do, so I said ok! He gave me shampoo and head massage too, which I felt really good;).
That would never happen in my hometown, so I felt so special!
After that I met my best friend from my high school for the first time since I started to live in Tokyo. We had a great time talking about what was going on in our new life. Next time we meet I will have a sleepover at hers so I'm so excited about it:)!

My first time Korean class :)

Hi! This is Momoko! I'm taking Korean classes on Saturdays. Which launguage are you taking as a second language in this university? Why did you decide to take that language? This time I want to talk about the reason I took Korean. When I was 16, I studied abroad in the US for 2 weeks. My English was so poor, so at first I couldn't follow what others say. I felt so lonely. It was just then one Korean girl spoke to me. Her name was Rachel, and we soon got along well with each other. She was very kind to me, and helped me with a lot of things. This is Rachel :)

We had so much fun. She taught me her favorite Korean singers and some Korean words, and I taught her some Japanese words. I came to like Korean. We still get in touch with each other. She told me that she was going to study Japanese. If I could master Korean and she could master Japanese, we will be able to talk in 3 languages! I want to thank her in some way, this is why I took Korean.

thank you.

Making waffles

Hi! I’m Azusa Sakurai.
I’ve wondered what to write on this blog for almost a week, but now I have one thing to write about.

Yesterday I got a little package with little holes from Sweden.  

In the package, there was a recipe about how to make waffles, a message card, and waffle mix. I think it is because I said most Japanese don’t celebrate Easter.
In Sweden people eat waffles to celebrate! She remembered that story. I guess she felt sad not to celebrate Easter this year since I’m here in Japan. That was so kind of her.

But the thing is, because of the torn box of waffle mix, anything in that package was covered with white powder!! It seems that there is a little unused powder left in the box.

I may miss some powder to bake waffles, but I thank her a lot so I’d like to try hard to make it somehow!

university life

I used to think that being a university student would be easy because people usually say that they were free and everything was easy.I realized that it is wrong.There are a lot of to do and I still have to work part-time job…

 Right now,I can't decide which club to join!!!
Orchestra-I really love to play the percussion but ,I would need 150000 to 200000 yen!
ACM-I'm interested in not only classical music but also j-pop music but,I would not be able to play instruments I love best.
ESS-I wanna speak English well as all of you .So,this club is very effective.However,I would not be able to play music I love to do..

 I would love to here which is the best club to join!! Thank you

My first part time job!

Hello eveybody!
My name is Saki Akiyama.
I would like to write about my first part time job for my first blog.

 I started working at a cram school this Wednesday.  I do tutorials before class begins and also do a little
bit of office work.
 I used to go to this cram school when I was a high school student.  The workers there always supported me for the college entrance exam and that's why I think I was able to pass the entrance exam for Aoyamagakuin University!
 I felt that now it was my turn to support the students and that's why I started this job. I am very honored to work at this cram school and I hope I can support the students as the workers did to me last year!
 Since my high school didn't allow students to work at all, I am happy to be able to work.
I am going to try my best to manage doing both school work and part time job and spend a fulfilled time as a college student.

To end with, I have a question for everbody!

What kind of part time job are you doing?

My first time in "OOTOYA"

Hello everyone.
My name is Brianne and nice to meet you all.
Please call me BURI-CHAN if you can because my name is very long.

Today i am going to talk about a dinner i went with my friends.

On thursday, me and my friends stayed late at school because we had to plan our class schedule and since we all have the same major, we decided to set it together.
I was really confused because there classed I have to take for sure and I didn't quite get it. Thanks to my kind friends who taught me how to plan my class schedules, I have finished planning my schedules and ready to start my school year. Of course i have concerns about failing but I will try my best because I don't want to be taking classes when i turned 4th grade.

Me and my friends finished very late so we decided to go out for dinner. I felt like I wanted to eat something healthy so I asked my friends if there were any place that serves healthy foods. Surprisingly there were! I was amazed because there were no such place in Aichi prefecture.

We went to a place called "OOTOYA" my friends told me that it is very famous and very delicious for the cheap price but it was my first time. I ordered a chicken salad set.

What do you think of this? Do you think it's delicious?

For me, it was very delicious and I also enjoyed talking with my new friends. There all have a warm heart. I think "OOTOYA" is a good place to go when you feel like you want eat something heathy and you don't feel like cooking. Why don't you try going to "OOTOYA" with your friends too?
It is also very close to our university, on the way to Shibuya station.

thank you.
Brianne

The special places near my home

Hi! My name is Ririka Akiyama. Nice to meet you!
For my first publish on this blog, I would like to talk about the amazing areas near my home.
I live between Musashisakai and Higashi Koganei station.
Around Higashikoganei station, there are some special places related to Ghibli.

First of all, there is "Edo-Tokyo Tatemono Enn" in Koganei park. There, you can see the model buildings of Miyazaki Hayao's masterpiece, "Spirited Away". For example, the hot spring inn where the main character Chihiro works. Visitors can actually go inside it.

Secondly, there is Studio Ghibli's head office. I pass it many times on my way home and the building is stylish covered with ivy. It's wonderful to imagine many pictures that are drawn there for the new coming movie this summer. I think it is called, "When Marnie Was There".

Last but not least, Miyazaki Hayao's private studio is also located at Higashi Koganei. I also pass this place frequently, but I have never seen or met him yet. Since I'm a big fan of Ghibli film's, I wish I can happen to meet him and say hello to him some day.       

A book I'm reading

Hello everyone!
My namae is Shin Kimoto.

Today I'm gonna talk about a book that I'm reading now
entitled "Night Frost" written by the British writer R.D. Wingfield.

The story is about a Detective Inspector named Jack Frost, investigating
and trying to solve all kinds of incidents. However, due to a flu epidemic
the police agency is short of man power. The story takes place in a city
called Denton, located on the countryside with a low population.



To be honest, it is not an aeducational book but it is very entertaning.
when you have a rough day or something it might be a good story to read.

movie

yesterday is weekend, when I was in Shanghai, I usually see movies or drive to the nearby province such as Hangzhou(杭州) with friends to get rid of the hustle and bustle of the down town area. after I came to Japan, I hardly have time for entainment and it seems that my schedule conflicts with the schedule of cinema quite much. but I am very interested in movies, especially the movies that star Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, such as The Scent Of Woman, God Father and so on. Yesterday after I finished part time job, on my way back home, I found a movie disc which I dreamed to buy for long. that is called The Untouchables, this movie stars Kevin Costner and Rober De Niro and Sean Connery, and the story is about that a government agent through paying great cost including the threat of the safety of his family and the death of his colleague and friends won the battle with the famous gangster Al Capone and brought him to justice during Prohibition.  It is very wonderful.

Using smartphones while walking

Have you guys already decided the article which related to “Human relationships” theme?  

I found the one but at the same time, I found another interesting article. （I think this article is related to “Human relationships” too,）So, today i’d like to write about that article.

The article is about using a smartphone when walking, and arguing how danger is that. 

Also the article included a simulation movie that “What would be like if everyone who walk across Shibuya scramble crossing uses smartphones?”

I think most of you have a smartphone, and I have one too. 

Smartphones are very convenient and easy to access a lot of information, But because of that advantages, people tend to use smartphones even while they are walking.

Some of you may have been seen that, the cellphone company and even the railway company’s warning that “Using smartphones while walking is very dangerous.”

If you use smartphones while walking, it will limit your range of vision one twentieth compared to normal range of vision. So that means you are more likely to stumble on something or collide with someone else.

In fact, cellphone company Docomo states that one in five people were involved in some kind of accidents because of using smartphone while they were walking.

Finally, the result of the movie that I mentioned at first turned out to be like this, “Among 1500 people, 446 accidents were happened and only 547 pedestrians crossed without any trouble.”

And I thought it will be terrible if this simulation were conducted on train station platform...  Also I thought that we should use smartphones in proper places and proper times.

Help!!! I Need Somebody!!!

First of all let me start from introducing myself.
My name is Jumpei Imasato, which I believe is a pretty unique name.

I love playing sports. Tennis, table tennis, badminton are some good examples.
I come from Chiba prefecture.
Before I started living in Japan when I was 10, I lived in Huston Texas for 2years, Sugarland Texas for 2years, and Paris for3 years.

By the way....

The reason why I asked for help is because I had no clue how to upload pictures on this blog.
I downloaded the google plus application but I don't know what to do after that....
My mail address for this blog is yahoo, but the mail address the application requires is google...
Now what do I do!?

About my friend

I'll talk about what happened to my friend yesterday.  She was on the train during the rush hour.  It was so crowded that she couldn't breathe. When she got off the train at shibuya, she noticed that someone put an orange paper in her bag. She looked at the paper carefully. On the paper it said "Please contact me to this address." There was an address on it. She got afraid so she texted her father           in Yamagata about what happened. Later on that day, her father called to my friend. My friend was laughing when she was talking to her father.  I asked her why she was laughing. She said "my father said don't put any fingerprints on the paper so he can send the paper to the police and identify the  person who put the paper in my bag!! Can you believe it? He loves me too much!" When I heard that I was kind of jealous  of her being so loved by her father.

Cherry Blossoms

I went to see cherry blossoms in Yoyogi park with my new friends yesterday! As you guys have already known, almost all the cherry blossoms here in Tokyo have fallen. When it comes to the ones in my hometown, Akita, however, we can see them in early May. It's interesting to notice that each tree blooms at different speed even though they all are located in Japan, isn't it? I want to know more in detail about cherry blossoms!

cheer up

Today is the first day that I return to my part time job after the new semester. Home work, learning new konwledge and part time job make me really exhausted, but　I am not going to give up, I think what I need is a well organized schedule and the perseverance to carry out the schedule. Cheer up for everyone.

About myself

Hello! My name is Takumi Nishihara.

This time, I’d like to introduce about myself.

First of all, let me talk about my background.

I was born in Yokohama, Japan and I grew up in that place. So, I’ve never lived in foreign country. I only went United States and New Zealand for sightseeing.

I noticed that many of my classmates are returnees. I’m envious of them because their english skills are so high. 

Among four english skills（Listening, Writing, Speaking, Reading）, I’m especially not good at speaking. So, through the IE courses and other lectures, I want to improve that skill as much as I can.

My hobby is playing the guitar. I started playing it when I was a junior high school student. So I’ve been playing it for about five or six years.

Of course, I like music too. My favorite music genre is Jazz and Fusion. These are basically american music. So, this is my one reason to study english. Learning english helps me understanding that type of cultures better.

Please let me know if you like that kind of music or if you play the guitar.

I’m excited to participate in class. See you next week! 

audition

Today, I had an audition for an English play "The Winter's Tale". The rehearsal starts in about 1 month and I am so exited.
The other day, I tried to read "The Winter's Tale" in the original. But because I wasn't so used to reading Shakespeare's writings, his unique expression sometimes confused me. For the next few weeks, I will try to understand not only just the story but also the character's various feelings such as passion, pain, jealousy and so on. I'll do my best to create a nice play.

My resolution

   Hello everyone.My name is Takumi Onozato.
   I like English very much.So,I decided to take the deperture of English literature.I was confident at that time but,I was really surprised at everyone in IE 3 class...they can speak English very well and fluently.There were a lot of students who have an experience studying abroad!
   I've never been to other countries and I can't speak English well as my classmates.I am filled with anxiety...But I really like English as I said .So I wanna study in IE3 to improve my English skills and go abroad to study English language and culture.I never lose myself!
  I may ask for your assistance and it would be lovely if you all help me and if you need mine,I will help you all with joy.
  I'm looking forward to seeing you again.

MY DOG CHOCO

 Hi everyone! Today I'm going to talk about my pet, Choco. She came to my home when I was 12.
She is so cute and smart, but there is one thing that we think it is weird. That is the way she sleep. She always sleep on someone's body, and she sleeps with her eyes and mouth half closed. These are photos of choco.

When I first saw her sleeping face I was surprised, but now I think it's cute.
She heals me when I am dipressed. I reccommend all of you who doesn't have any pets to ha

ve one. Thank you.

My first part-time-job in my life

 I started working at local restaurant last night. It made me feel great to be a part of the social community as a worker. It's true that I was nervous to say anything there,and it was hard to remember the specific rules. However I didn't expected that working is very exciting. Although what I can do is just to serve the guests and get orders, I loved to have a conversation not only with co-workers but also with guests. One of them told me she loves my smile. I'm very looking forward to be a better waitress.

movies

Hi! This is Nami.
Last week, I saw 2 movies on TV.

The first one was Kqate&Leopold.
I'd never seen movies that Meg Ryan, who played Kate, appeared in as knowing her name and appearance probably through the commercial of a coffee company. Kate was a woman who had worked almost everyday, what is called workaholic, but after she met Leopoldo accidentally, she gradually came to enjoy her own life. She did great work in this film.
Hugh Jackman, who played Leopold, appeared in one of the most popular films Les Miserable as the hero, Jean Valjean.
Leopold looked quite differently from Jean Valjean, which means he did perfect works in both of the movies. I liked both of his acts.

The other one was Holiday.
Since I really like Cameron Diaz's act, it was completely fun for me to see it.
After her parents divorce in her youth, she had never been able to cry.
What she had devoted herself into was making movie trailers as work.
However, she could cry at the end of the story through her true love.
The actor who played her partner was Jude Law. I'm really crazy about him. The way he talked, the way he looked at his daughters and partner, the way he cried, all he did were amazing!

As I mentioned, both films focused on workaholic women. To be honestly, I'm quite afraid of being one of them in the future. So I hope I could find such a guy as those in these films.

up all night

On last Monday, I, Karuna, Fumika, Mao, Kanaho, and Shun went to Round One to stay up all night as playing some sports.

We played ping pong, shooting, fishing, games and something like that.
What I enjoyed playing the best was inline skating. At first, I was very poor at it, because it was my first time to skate, but everyone supported me to practice it, and I made it better. Thank you guys!
In addition, though some of you might not be able to believe, we played basketball, tennis, batting, and soccer outside around 2am! What a crazy groups we are! Anyway, I had much fun as doing them.

I'd never stayed up all night before that, so it was a little hard for me and I was falling asleep a few times, but lots of fun we had had blown away the sleepiness!
Thank you again, guys! :)

Asakusa

On new years day, I went to Asakusa with my friends from highschool.
Senso Temple was very crouded and we found it quite difficult to go. However, we managed to go there after waiting for a line about 30minutes.
Around Senso Temple area, there were many street stalls and we ate some Oyaki (kind of bread like Manjyu) for breakfast.
After that, we walked to Tokyo Sky Tree and bought some snacks and a kite. Then we moved to the park near the river and played with a kite.
I think I didn't touch a kite for about 10years so it was very exciting! I would like to play with a kite again! However, I didn't sleep on new year's eve so I was really sleepy...

Happy New Year

I coudn't send a new year card to my classmates so I would like to say "Happy New Year!" to you guys here!

I spent my new year's eve alone in my home watching TV programs. I usually go to Toyota city with my family but I had an event I wanted to go in Tokyo so I stayed home.
It was quite lonely but my friend came to my home about 12am so we spent night watching TV programs and drawing. As we were awake all the night, we could see sunrise too!
This was my first time spending new year with my friend so I had a lot fun.

Next Saturday

Next Saturday, I'm going to take the examination for the driver's licencse.
It was one of my aim to take the driver's licencse, so I want to get it as soon as possible.
I have to study a lot!

Nirvana

I became interested in foreign rock music before, but I have not started to listen to such a kind of music until now.
But, these days I listen to foreign music more rather than Japanese one.

I don't know about foreign music, so I started to listen to most famous musician, for example, the Beatles, Oasis, Owl City, Nirvana and Green Day.
Of course, I listen to pop music.
Yesterday, I lent three albums of Nirvana and an album of the Beatles, I am looking forward to listening their music after today's class.

New year

For new years day, I went to Tsurugaoka hachimangu in Kamakura for the first visit of the year.
We say it Hatumoude in Japan. I spend times with my family and had a good time. This year I want to try a lot of things and make this year fulfilled than last year.

Sushi

I went to eat sushi when I went back to my hometown, Shizuoka.
I was longing for sushi very very much before a winter vacation came, so I was very happy!

I took 19 dishes finally and I was very contented.

I like Kaiten-Sushi because there are lot of  kinds of neta, but my grand father was a fisherman and he made sushi for me, which are delicious rather than Kaiten's ones.

For winter vacation

I don't have much plans for winter vacation, but I am excited to spend my time with my high school friends at the karaoke for over night. We don't see each other a lot after graduating, so I'm very happy to see them. But I'm also nervous about the exam of the driving school. Since it bothers me all the time,  I want to finish commuting there as soon as possible.

Cold weather

With the cold seasons, it seems people with poor health are increasing. As for my self, these days I'm not feeling so well because of the cold weather. But soon the winter vacation is going to start, so for the rest of the school I want to try my best, and I hope everybody has their best conditions too.

Ghibli Museum

On the first week of December, I had a oppotunity to visit the Ghibli museum. At the Ghibli museum, we could see how the movies were made. Not only to see how the movies were made, the museum was very beautiful. I am sorry that I could not show how it was, since it was not able to take photos, but if you have interests of the museum, I recommend you to visit there.

Shoppings

Shibuya Book・off is one of my favorite place to go shopping.
You can get second handed books and CDs and etc there, but one of the biggest reason I like it is because of the low price. I bought three CDs and it didn't cost more than 1000yen. When I find something unexpected like old CDs that we can't see in CD shops, it makes me happy, and I think that is one of the enjoyable thing of going to second handed stores.

one of my bff

Hello! This is Nami again.
I'm going to talk about one of my best friends.
She had been in Hawaii to study for this 7 month, and finally she's coming back for holiday in Japan!
I'm so excited to see her and to sing lots of songs by Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Jason Mraz, Train, and some popular singers. She plays the guitar very well.
Not having brought it to Hawaii, she might become a little bit poor at playing it though.
Anyway, I hope her safe flight!

straps

Hello! This is Nami.
Do you guys hang on to straps every time you get on trains?
I rarely hold them because... they don't seem clean, do they?
Nevertheless, I had to because of some troubles in this morning.
A few minutes after I hung on to a strap, I felt something wrong.
I'd not cared so much at first, but was feeling uncomfortable.
My arm was cramped. That was it.
As soon as I got it, let my arm be free.
I've decided never to rely on straps.

Today's IE class

We had a Christmas party in today's IE listening class.
It is very fun to have parties with my classmates and teacher.
I really think I was lucky that I could be one of the members of this IE class and want to take the same classes with them in the next semester!

second harvest

The last Friday was my first time to know about the second harvest.
I was really surprised to hear about it.
Though I was very impressed that he said he just connected the left overs and people who need them.
I realized that sometimes people can make a wonderful difference just by doing something very simple.
However, noticing those things are very difficult, I thought.
Listening to that kind of great person's lecture was one of the most precious experience I have ever had.

My New Laptop PC

Last Sunday I got new laptop PC with 11000 yen.  It was very expensive but this has really good spec so I think I can concentrate on some of the assignment so I am look forward to get one before I get use to it.  My new one is very light so it is easy to bring and the design is very cool!! 
P.S This post is from my new laptop PC lol.

I acutually...

Last week wee had presentation from Second Harvest.  At last he asked us that anybody interested in NPO.  I was actually interested in NPO little bit but nobody raised their hand so I couldn't raise my hand either because of my shyness.  Furthermore I am interested in them but I really don't know about them.  I hope sometime I can research about them.

Christmas parties

I had two christmas party in this week.
The first one was in Tuesday, and I drunk too much and...
you can imagine what happened next....... so I just skip that.
and the second christmas party was today's!
It was the IE Listening class, and we had a christmas party and we all enjoyed it very much.
We talked a lot about the Christmas day, love, the history of Christmas and so on.
it was fun but I felt a little sad cause it was the last class of 2013.
I also feel sad because after tomorrow, we cannot see each other about two weeks!:(((

a belated post of Mantis Parable

I'm so sorry to forget to post this.
I was too busy working on the second book report, and this is my excuse. :(
Then here is the belated post of Mantis parable!

-Character
A mantis, a caterpillar, a butterfly and fire flies.

-Summary
There was a caterpillar which was caught by a human, and he tried to escape from the bottle so hard, but it didn't work well. One day, a mantis came and caterpillar asked to help him, but a mantis rejected it. However, a mantis was caught by a human who also caught a caterpillar. A mantis found himself in the bottle, and he recalled that he was so mean to a caterpillar, and fell into a desperation. Then, a butterfly came into the room with many fire flies, and kindly they helped a mantis to escape from the bottle.

-Irony
A mantis was so mean to a caterpillar, but a caterpillar remembered him and after became a butterfly he went to help a mantis.

Going back to my hometown

Tomorrow, I am going to attend "Bonenkai" my circle.
However, I really don't want to go.
That's because there are no class on Mondays and it means every Monday is holiday, so tomorrow is last day I have to come before winter vacation starts.
Without it, I could go back after fifth class.

I regretted replying with easy mind before. I hope to go back to my hometown as soon as possible.
But, it will not bad, so I will enjoy it.

French lanch

Last Sunday, I went to eat French lunch with my friend in high school.
Its price was 1900 yen, considering other French prices, it was very kind price!

I ate salad with salmon, pumpkin soup, steak with demiglace sauce and a tiramisu.
I often eat Italian, but I rarely eat French, It was very fresh for me.
After eating lunch, I go to her house and watched a DVD of Romeo and Juliet played by Takaraduka, because she was a fan of it.
Then she made Houjitya-Latte for me, it was very similar to Starbucks' one.

Cards

In this season many people askes their friends what they are going to do for christmas. We were asked that question in today's writing class. Some spend their christmas working and some are going back to their home own. For me, Christmas is not a kind of special day so I don't have anything to do (but I still want Christmas presents).
I draw many New Year Cards every year and I'm really busy working on that...　I think I'll spend my Christmas drawing. I want my friends to enjoy their Christmas on their own way. People who can trade a New Year Card with me please let me know:)

Pokemon Center

I went to Pokemon Center with my friend from highschool last Saturday.
I really wanted to buy a small bag of Pokemon so we decided to go there one hour before open.
It is quite interesting that there is a line infront of Pokemon Center every weekends. It means that many people are trying to get what they really want. There are many people who plays Pokemon game infront of Pokemon Center too. I could get what I wanted on that day so I'm using it now, I keep my painting set inside. I can't imagine when I'm going to quit Pokemon.
