Aoyama Festival

We sold frankfurt at the Aoyama Festival.
We sold more than 300 frankfurts. This was my first time going to Aoyama Festival and I was surprised by the number of visitors. I never expected this amount of people. Although I had to wake up early on the weekend, I had really good time.

Firework


I love firework so much.
I like firework in summer, but I the firework in winter too.
In my local, there are displays of firework in winter.
In winter, the air is very clean. So the firework in winter looks more beautiful than the firework in summer.
The firework is very instant, but the scenic of firework will remain my heart for a long time.
I want to watch the firework in winter this year too.



The Great Gatsby.

I chose the book, The Great Gatsby for my book report.
Today I saw the movie which was screened in 2013.
There were some parts that were deleated from the novel.
I think I will look over the novel again and start writing my book report.
Let`s do your best.

Happy times.

Today I went to an Italian restaurant to eat dinner with my senior from my high school.
We were both in the same club in high school. Although she is two years older than me she is always kind to me and we have been in a good term.
I met her for the first time in a half a year so I was really looking forward to meeting her.
I had a great time talking with her.
Being with her just make me relax and open my heart.
I hope to see her soon.

Good Night.

 
( The atmosphere of the restaurant was really good.)

Trip to Hanoi

I was in Hanoi, Vietnam from 30 Oct to 5 Nov. It was my first time to visit somewhere south East Asia and travel abroad alone. The reason I chose Vietnam is it's close to Japan compared to other countries and thought it’s good for a short trip. Before I left Japan, I was excited but little bit worried as traveling alone could be dangerous.

I stayed in an inexpensive hostel which had 5 beds in a room. I became friends with the travelers stayed in there. The staffs are very nice as well. In Hanoi, I enjoyed walking around the city. There were heaps of motorcycles and it made it difficult to cross the road though I got used to it soon. Drinking was fun, too. They had Hanoi beer and I liked it.

Although I spent nearly all the money I earned in summer, it was such a good experience. I want to go abroad in February or March again. If you know any good place, let me know!

Baseball gambling

 I was so sad to hear a news. It's about baseball gambling. The pro-baseball players of GIANTS such as Fukuda and Matsumoto have related with baseball gambling and played it. In the most case about baseball gambling, the offenders relate with yakuza or boryokudan. I cannot forgive them and they should be ban by NPB forever. Baseball is one of popular Japanese sports, so we have to make it keep   
to be good sports. If baseball gambling is played in the world of NPB, the number of baseball fan will be decreasing more and more. I am so sad and don't hear the news like this again!

Rugby

Last Sunday, I went to Chichibunomiya to watch rugby game. The reason why I went there is because I was invited by my friend and I love rugby. The game was Keio University versus Meiji University. I cheered for Keio University because one of my friend was there. 
The game was really exciting because it was close battle. However, in the second half Meiji widen the gap. In the end Keio lost the battle against Meiji. I was surprised that Keio University lost the game, but I enjoyed watching it.

Next day, on Staurday, we  had breakfast at 8 and started practice at 9.
We were at the gym practicing until 10:30 at night exept for meal time. The gym was open for 24 hours so many of us practiced independently at midnight too.
On Sunday, we had breakfast at 7 and started practice at 8. In the afternoon each group showed their piece. We left their at 5 o'clock and came back to Tokyo. It was hard work but substantial days.

Tokyo Disney Sea

I went to Tokyo Disney Sea with my friends who belong to the same circle.
It was raining and it was very cold in the morning.
However, I had a wonderful time with them :-)
We could know each others more.
I want to keep a good relationship from now.

aoyama festival

On October 30 to November 1, there was Aoyama festival. I belong to ski circle and we held yakisoba shop. It sold very well and we earned a lot of money. However, it was sosososo so hard. We were always standing with loud voice in order to get customers. It was such a tired thing and I was exhausted every three days. I couldn't find my self enjoying because of tough work. To be honest, I never want to join Aoyama festival again. There were too many people. I think it takes more time for me to realize that it was enjoyable since I am still tired.

Disney Land

Disney
Went to Disney Land with a friend on the 24th of October(a week till Halloween).
Believe it or not, this was only my 3rd time going there in my life, so I was excited!

There've been lots of nice attractions: The Haunted Mansion, Pooh's Hunny Hunt, Big Thunder Mountain, Pirates of Caribbean, Swiss Family's Tree House, Star Tours, Alice's Tea Party, and so on. But what I'm impressed with the most is the quality of 3D films in Disney Land: when I see 3D movies at normal theaters I find it often hard to say it's 3D. The thing that's supposed to be seen in 3D is blurred and unfocused most of the times. But here at Disney Land, it's LITERALLY 3D! You can see characters only inches before your eyes!!

 I also took some pictures. The sunset one I took while waiting for Big Thunder Mountain, and I even took one while we were spinning at full speed at Alice's Tea Party!

We enjoyed to our heart content, from 8 am till 10 pm. We ended up riding 15 attractions out of 40! Not bad, huh? 
 Next time, in the near future, I will be going to Disney Sea!

Asa ga kita



Have you ever watched the drama called “ Asa ga kita” ?
We can watch this drama on NHK.
It is 15 minutes drama, and it is broadcast from Monday to Saturday.

I am crazy about this drama right now.
The heroin of this drama is very aggressive, and cute.
Her favorite phrase when she is surprised is “ bikkuraponn”.
Recently, I often used this phrase too.
Why don’t you use it?

This drama is broadcast at 7:45, 8:00, and 23:00.
You have many chances to watch, so you should check it out! 






Thursday

Thursday is a day of the week I don't like the best in a week. Because it has five classes in a day. I'm depressed with every Thursday:( I'll try not to sleep during classes.

Symbol: The fan as a circle of life. The flower comes back as a fan.
Theme: Love wins.

Taking videos.

Do you know the camera application called B612?
I think most people have used this app at least once.
It is usually used when we take photos with our friends.

Although I had installed this app, today I found out with Momoko that I could take videos too.
So we played taking some videos and enjoyed looking at our old movement.
Sometimes it`s fun just to take photos even though there is no meaning to do so.

Akakara


Do you know Akakara, a nabe restaurant?

It serves spicy nabe, like kimuchi-based hot pod, and it was originated in Nagoya. You can choose the level of spiciness, 1 to 30. I hear that more than level 10 is not food. It is too spicy to eat and many people suffer from stomach pain.
I have eaten level 5 so next time  I want to try level 6. It tastes so nice; I often go with my friends. When I go there in 4 people, we can order both meal-end ramen and cheese risotto. (For 2 servings each.)

If you like spicy food, why don’t you try it?

Sunrise


I stayed at Yamanashi prefecture until yesterday, so I had to wake up at 4:00 to attend first period class today.
Usually it takes two hours to go from Yamanashi prefecture to Tokyo.
It was very dark at 4:00, which made me sleep again and again.
I left my home at 5:00, and I watched countless beautiful stars when I looked up the sky.
In Tokyo, we cannot see stars, so I was very happy.
Living in city is very good but I am sometimes sad when I can watch neither stars nor sunset.
On the way to AGU, I watched beautiful sunrise!
It was great start to spend today.

Good day!


Yesterday, I did assignments for IE class such as book report all day.
I looked at the computer for a long time, so I was very tired.

Today, I studied Spanish for middle test this week, and after that I went to karaoke with my best friend. It was fun time!
When I came home, I wanted to eat curry and rice. So I cooked it!
Curry is the one of my favorite dish to cook. It was very delicious, so today was a such a good day. I hope that everyone spent a nice day.


 
 

We enjoyed Aoyama festival!


I belong to the band club, and we perform many songs in the Aoyama festival.
We got up early everyday to prepare for the play.
 I played guitar, drums and keyboard.

Performing at the Aoyama festival was very fun.
It was good experience for me.

I was very surprised to see that many people came to see our performance.
I enjoyed all three days very much.




















This is my band members.


Thank you for reading.


Aoyama Festival

Did you enjoy Aoyama Festival? My club held a piano concert as well at Sagamihara Festival. I played the first of all. Also, the number of audience was more than Sagamihara Festival, so I got very nervous. However, I was praised by my senior after the concert. I was very happy. Performance by my friends and seniors was very enjoyable. I had a good time for three days.

Halloween.

Today I went to Shibuya with friends.
I was astonished to see Shibuya packed with people.
Many people was dressing up for Halloween and the quality was great.
However walking Shibuya totally made me tried because I couldn`t walk straight and smoothly because of the dressed people.

Did anyone dressed up for Halloween?

Happy Halloween


Today is Happy Halloween!
I found these cute breads at my favorite supermarket.


When I was a child, I joined the Halloween party which was held by English school.

Since I don`t have school today I think I will clean my room and relax.

aogaku festival

From today our school has a school festival. Many circles sell foods and drinks and have live musics. we also invite many famous people such as Hiroshi Abe who is an actor.

Although most of the clubs don't join to this festival. Most of the clubs have practices and don't have time to prepare for it. My swimming club also didn't join to the festival but we only have practice in morning so we can buy and see the festival. I'm so excited to see what my friends are selling.

Part-time job


I began part-time job yesterday.
I am working at the pizza shop near AGU.
I was nervous before I went to the pizza shop because it was my first part-time job.
However the boss was very kind, so I felt relieved.

The job is a kind of routine task, but I have to remember many things such as etiquette, kinds of pizza, and so on. 
I think it is tough work at first, but it will be easy work when I know the every system of my job.

I was thinking that earning money was easy, but it was false. 
Yesterday, I noticed that earning money was very hard work.
I want to thank to my parents, and I want to work hard!

School festival.

In this weekend, there is a "Aosai" which is the school festival in AGU. I have long been looking for this so much. This is the first time to see this. I heard that there would be like a jam-packed train, is that true? 

Anyway, my circle will open stall too! I will be baking "Hottoku" which is Korean sweets. I really love it, and I am sure you will like it. 
Please visit us! I will be in front of building 1.

The Fan and the Flower

Setting: At the old house, today.

1. The gap between the two which comes from the different background.

2. The all-out effort which is without the hope of getting something in return.

2. Both the fan and the flower make great efforts to come near, however, they cannot get close to till the end.

 
Theme:

1. Even if we cannot communicate with by using language, or have completely different background, sincere attitude and genuine affection would beyond the words.

2. Even though it is different from what we wish, the true hope would finally have taken shape in a certain form.

On Saturday

On Saturday, I went to Mitaka to see my friend at her school festival. I met up other friend at the station and took a bus to the university. I was happy because it was fine weather and I hadn’t seen them for 4 months.

The university had beautiful lawn. My friend told me she sometimes took a nap on the grass and I thought it’s great. Going to school in Shibuya is pretty good because it’s so convenient but a school located in suburbs is good as well. It’s quiet and comfortable.

The friend is a member of a glee club, so we listened to her singing. They sang without any musical instruments. That must be difficult but the songs were all very nice. We enjoyed it a lot.

After we left school, we went to Kichijoji and had dinner. The friend couldn’t join us because she still had a job for the club. We had pizza and it was so delicious. I hope we all three can go together next time.
