I just took the last test for IT😄
I'm glad that I'm over with it now, but now I have nothing to do during my free periods.
I thought it was going to take the whole semester to finish it, so I left the periods open on purpose. Now I really regret it.
I hope this semester will be over soon so I won't have that much open periods.

Logorama
Summary:
It tells a story that happens in Los Angela where a criminal(MacDonald) is being chased by polices(Michelin). When they confront at a small restaurant all of a sudden the earth's surface begins to split apart and the mixture of water and oil submerged the whole town. Lady Esso and the Big Boy were the two left on an island.
Message:
This video is filmed by French so I think it is mocking at the American's food invasion and how their own country's food tradition( Michelin is a French brand not only for making ties but also for the evaluation on restaurant-Michelin Guide) is being harmed by American's brand and culture. In the end, Lady Esso, which is also an American brand wins with the fast food brand Big boy.

Varmint
Summary:
varmints lived in nature, sustainably and peacefully. The protagonist looked like a botanist, as he was sampling plants. It is clear that the protagonist has a strong affection for plants and nature.
Then, there comes a huge fortress, pulled by a lot of urban varmints. They look so much less healthy than the normal varmints, and they almost look like they are enslaved by the fortress. The fortress destroys the nature, and the protagonist had to live there with a branch of tree which he was barely able to bring in.
Inside the fortress is dusty, heartless city. Varmints live in small apartment rooms and they are all ill. The protagonist’s branch is the only nature to be seen. After some time, the protagonist becomes ill just like others, and right when he was about to die, he was rescued by a mysterious jelly fish.
Ending:
The ending can be interpreted in many ways. It could be symbolizing the life after death, or return to the country side. One thing for certain is that the city remained there. It’s not like varmints changed the way city is, and improved the life for all.
I think it is obvious that the fortress symbolizes the civilization and all the destruction it caused. Varmints used to live harmoniously with the nature but after civilization, they started to harm the environment and themselves.
It is also important to note that the jellyfishes emerged from inside the city. They grew inside the apartments, and did not came from outside. I think jellyfish symbolize technology. The technology that allowed some varmints to live a healthier lives again.
In real life, humans are like varmints. We used to live harmoniously with the nature, but we started destroying them. Then, some country moves on to tertiary industries. People in developed countries will start living a healthier lives, somewhat sustainably. However, there always remain developing countries, who would destroy the environment instead of them.

country side
In the future, I want to live in the country side, not in the urban city. The reason is because I like the place where it's quiet and surrounded by greeneries. Maybe, the time after I retire, I would like to live in the place where it is quiet
varmint

varmints
Summary
Once upon a time, there was a varmint living in a place where is surrounded by nature in peace. One day, sudden emersion of modern building made him live in a modern society. His hope living in a society was to water his plant and while fetching a glass of a water, he found an unknown white objects sticking on the buildings.

Varmints--Video Analysis Assignment
Summary-
A creature―he looked like a cross between a rabbit, dog and a kangaroo, in my opinion―loves plants and animals, and spends his time studying them. Suddenly one day, a dark atmosphere takes over his peaceful town. Life is not the same anymore, and he is forced to live in a dull cell. The critter's only hope is a small plant by his windowsill, which he waters every day. During his stay at the cell, he meets a girl, and falls in love. However, the warm feeling is soon broken as his world becomes more violent, and hard to live in. At the end, a jellyfish-looking creature ascends from the sky and takes him and all the others in the world away. There inside the jellyfish, the creatures live on happily.
Theme-
"The frog in the well knows nothing of the great ocean."
I feel that the warm atmosphere of the world before it was taken over was a symbol of the world we live in before we go out into society. There are harsh realities that we encounter after we abandon our childhood.
Ending-
I think the jellyfish represents heaven. In other words, I think all the creatures died in the storm-like phenomenon of the taken-over world.

Technological Failure
I just posted the Varmints homework and I do not understand why but it seems to have a bug ... I wrote summary, ending, and message, but on the blog the texts are overlapping and everything is weird...
Varmints
Summary
At the end, the polluted dystopian town will be once again filled with green, because the jelly fish distributed new seeds to the polluted town. Nature is something that could be destroyed easily, but at the same time very strong that once all the conditions matches, it can grow up anywhere. In my opinion, the town will be a place where varmints and the mother nature live and support each other.
It starts with the varmints living peacefully surrounded by beautiful nature. The place was filled with green. blue sky, white clouds and butterflies. However, one day black varmints that moves like they have been controlled by someone, changes all the green into the urban dystopian environment. The new world once filled with green was surrounded by polluted air, and suddenly leads to infectious disease that caused numbers of death. The main character did not get infected because, the small plant that he saved in the last minute grew safely in his room. The huge jelly fish suddenly comes to his polluted town to save those who took time to think about the green nature. In the jelly fish, he once found the mother nature that he once loved.
EndingMessage（Theme）I believe that the message that the creator wanted to tell us was that environment fragile. He describes us human as a varmints, because through our history we have been harming the nature. Environment could be broken in just a few seconds, and once it is broken, no one knows how to fix them. However, we have the ability to save them and take care of them like how the main character was taking care of the small plant. Through this short film, the creator urged us that we are the ones to save the environment that is left in our planet. xAt the end, the polluted dystopian town will be once again filled with green, because the jelly fish distributed new seeds to the polluted town. Nature is something that could be destroyed easily, but at the same time very strong that once all the conditions matches, it can grow up anywhere. In my opinion, the town will be a place where varmints and the mother nature live and support each other.
Varmints
Summary
The little varmints lived peacefully in nature observing the plants and insects. However, a big city took over the place killing all the plants except for the one branch a varmint took. This varmint started to live in the big city taking care of the branch. One night the branch let out a mysterious fluffy white thing into the air which landed on the building and grew. Everyone started to get ill and die. When this happened the white thing burst out into making a huge jellyfish like thing that floated. They took the varmints and took them to a clean environment with nature.
Ending
In the end, the white jellyfish like thing took the varmints to a place full of nature without any pollution that the big city made. This gave the varmints a better environment to live in which saved the lives of the varmints.
Message
I believe the main message of this is to make the people realize all the damage we have done to the Earth which once was full of nature. We are constructing many buildings making big cities around the world, but this is eventually going to harm ourselves just like how the varmints started to die. We need to protect the natural environment that the Earth had for a happy life.

Aladdin
I went to see Aladdin today!! I was so excited to see it the whole day!! It was amazing! I loved it so much and I want to go see it again! The tiger, Rajah and the monkey, Abu were so cute!! I already knew the story, but it still made me cry a little. I'm probably going to go see it again with my friends!
Saturday
On Saturday, I had my Korean classes until 12:30. After the class, I did not have any plan so I was heading home, but the minute I was about to get on the train, my friend called me. Apparently, his schedule changed and had about 5 hours till his part time job. We decided to go to McDonalds but the 2 shops we went were full with people, so we went to Taco bell in Shibuya. There were few people there, so we stayed until the time for his work came. I thought 5 hours would be really long, but the time passed quickly because we just kept on talking about Japanese comedians, which turned out being really fun.
Varmint
Summary
There was a varmint living in a peaceful world, surrounded by lots of nature. One day, tons of dark building started to build towards it and took over the place where the varmint was at. Before getting concurred, varmint took few dirt on the ground and one wood from the tree. He entered the new environment, where everywhere was dark and dirty, and had no nature. It was 180 degrees different from where it was living in the past. One day, a jellyfish like creature started to take away other varmints and brought it to another place. The varmint also went to the new environment, where it was filled with nature just like where he used to live.
Ending and message
I think the original environment varmint lived is the nature we have right now in this world. However, as things developed, people started destroying the nature and created many artificial buildings. Deforestation, air and water pollution, and global warming are all caused by human beings. Even though new buildings are created for a positive purpose, it is just being a disaster, creating more environmental issues. The dystopian world shown in the video represents the world where the nature have been destroyed. The new world shown in the last represents the developed countries in this world. They are satisfied with where they are in, but do not realize the fact that many natural environments are being destroyed each day in the other parts of the world.

Varmints
Summary
One day a varmint and his kinds are just enjoy what Mother Nature had gave them. The trees, the grass, the dandelions are all what they love and care for. But out of nowhere, a big dark wind waves over the land taking away the beauty of nature and replacing it with buildings. It left the Varmint with nothing but a plant and a big city. He then starts to live and work there with the others until what looks like the “last” plant starts to die. Then tens of hot air balloon looking jellyfish appears in the city and starts grabbing the varmints, putting them inside of the jellyfish. But what was on the inside was what the varmint thought he would never see again. It was filled with grass, flowers and the girl that he had fallen I love with.
Ending
I believe that by judging at the health of the varmint that he had died and the jellyfish came to the city to take him to his happy place, where he can live in peace.
Message
The biggest message behind this video was to make us people look what we had done to our city from a third perspective. To make us realize that the Earth is slowly dying, along with the plants, animals, and the people that are living on it.
Battery %
I tend to worry if my battery percentage gets low on my phone because you know, what if I get lost in the middle of nowhere? So I charge my phone wayyy to often and because of that now my phones battery capacity is at 68%. So it’s true what they say, don’t charge your phone every once a hour.
...
There's actually nothing special happening around me, I just can't wait to visit South Africa this summer :)
Varmints
Summary:
One day there was a varmint which was living in a peaceful place where the nature spreads out all over the place. Suddenly that place gets covered with concrete buildings and thick smoke. The main character grabs the last branch of the surviving tree, and takes care of it. However, as the time goes, whole area gets polluted and other varmints get sick and dying. Eventually, the last tree that the varmint was taking care of also withers. One day, the varming notices that some kind of jellyfish like things are floating in the sky. That jellyfish catches other varmints, and they live in the jellyfish. Compared to the dusty and polluted city, inside of the jellyfish looks more comfortable and peaceful.
Ending & Message:
At the end, I think the varmint will also be catched by the jellyfish and lives with other varmints in there and come back to the exactly same place where it was first living. I didn't understand the exact message that this video was trying to tell, but I think this was representing some kind of environmental problem. Human beings break the nature and its ecosystem by constructing buildings deforestation and more. However, that environment cannot be placed back like it was before. This film tells us to be more kind to the nature.

Varmints
Summary
On a peaceful day, there was a varmint picking flowers in a beautiful grassland. However, all of a sudden, a dark wave came toward the whole field and turned the entire place into a dark world. The varmint managed to keep a plant in his bag just before everything dissapeared and a city popped out of nowhere. He went to the city and began to grow his last green plant, unfortunately it started to die because of the city's environment. The plant spreaded out somekind of seed that turned into a jellyfish-looking bubble, transfering the varmints in it.
Ending
Inside the jellyfish-looking bubble there was a beautiful grassland waiting. I believe this story shows how the society is today. People keep on trying to improve their society by destroying nature for them to create more factories for the country's development. If we want to live in a world, where everyone and every animal could live happily, we need to keep the environment how it is.

varmints
Summary:
A rabbit-like varmint was living happily in the nature full of plants. However, one day, the many varmints came and built a civilisation. The natured died away leaving one branch that the varmint saved. Taken away his place of living, the varmint had to become a part of the civilisation, and in the contaminated city, he keeps growing his single plant. Many varmints died because of the air pollution and the hard labor, and the varmint notices a jellyfish-like something appearing in places of the city. One day that "something" flies in the sky and collects the varmints. In the jellyfish, there is no contamination, and it is full of nature.
Message:
I did not understand the story clearly. However, I think it is symbolising today's world that is destroying the nature to develop civilisation. The message is that the dystopian world in the animation might become our future; people dying because polluted air and destroyed nature. To prevent this, we must cherish nature and prevent from them being harmed because of human activity. The jellyfish-like "something" is heaven, in my opinion. I think it is actually bad ending, and they all died after being harmed their health. We have to do something before it becomes too late. One thing that I did not understand is the fact that only the rabbit-like varmints were onboard the jellyfish. It must have a meaning, but I can't figure it out. Is it a racial something? Somebody please help...

Chorus Competition
Today I went to my sister's school to go see her chorus competition. My sister is in the first grade of high school, and she did the conductor of her class. She said that she did not have enough time of practice, but the harmony was beautiful and I was proud of her. And surprisingly, her class won the bronze prize winning against the 'senpai's. I know I am a "姉バカ", but I am really happy that her effort was rewarded.
Swan song
Last Friday I went to my high school’s sports festival. The sports festival is the last school event that the 12th graders can participate in the six years of junior and senior high school years. The 12th graders dance the swan dance every year. I was persuaded by my English teacher when he told me that swan song is a metaphorical phrase for a person’s last work or performance. I like how the costumes and the choreography have been passed down by seniors ever since the first sports festival.
mustard
I've been eating a lot of chicken recently and I always put ketchup or other sauces on it. Yesterday, I tried mustard and it was amazing. I like the kind of mustard that is sold in America, not the one in Japan.
Part time job
I am currently working as an English assistant teacher for my part time job. The students I teach are K1-P6 which is about 5 years old to 12 years old. They are so adorable, but sometimes too energetic. I feel rewarding when students understands the new lessons, and become proactive. However, I sometimes have difficulties teaching students whose first language is not English. Not being allowed to use Japanese in class, I have to choose the easiest vocabularies to have the students understand what I am trying to tell. I guess time will solve this... just crossing my fingers that it would.
Saturday live
I just remembered that I didn't write my second entry for this blog...
Last Saturday, I went to ZOZO Marine Stadium in Chiba for Radwimp's live concert. I left my room at 12:50, and got lost for about 20 minutes around my house, and went on 2 trains to get to the Stadium. It turns out there were 37,000 people in the Stadium in the end.
Since there were so many people there, I almost missed the last train. I was worried I would have to take the taxi or something when I first saw a bunch of people waiting in line to get inside the ticket gate. I went to the convenience store to eat something, looked for a place to sit, but I just ate while standing because there were about 30 roly-polies on the bench I was about to sit. I thought I was okay with roly-polies, but I couldn't stand how they looked in the dark, going onto each other.
Anyways, I had fun at the live although I have muscle pain on my legs for the past two days now. I really liked Kuwa's tags on his post on Instagram.
I hope Satoshi can be there next time they have a live concert😢

Varmints
Summary
One day there was a varmint who was living in a peaceful world where nature spread out endlessly. He spent his time observing the nature and cherishing them. Suddenly an industrialized city took over the beautiful world and destoyed it. The varmint started living in the industrialized city, but soon saw other varmints gradually becoming sick and dying. As the varmint became sick himself, the one and only plant that he brought from the beautiful world, scattered its seeds. The seeds grew into a huge jellyfish-like thing and took all the varmints inside of it. Inside the jellyfish was the beautiful world with nature just like the one the varmint used to live in.
Ending and Message
Through out the whole video, the industrialized city was illustrated in a dark tone compared to the bright and beautiful world in the begining and the ending. I think this implies that doing harm to the environment will do no good to humans. In the ending, the jelliyfish spreads its seeds all over the industrialized city. I think this shows how great the nature is and how we can never control or win against it. This video seems to be giving caution to humans that we should not destroy the nature, but in fact try to coexist with it.

This video seems to be giving caution to humans that we should not destroy the nature, but in fact try to coexist with it.

Varmints
Summary:
In an unknown rural land, a possum-like creature lives peacefully with nature surrounding him, when suddenly a city appears, and nature dies away. After that, this creature starts living in the city, taking care of a plant that he got before the city took its life away. As days went by, both the plant and the creature starts to get weak, probably because of the polluted air. The plant had released a sort of white substance which grows and change its form to a jellyfish.
At the end:
The creatures get sucked into the jellyfish that grew big. The jellyfish generally symbolize protection, as well as caution. Probably, the creature did live and got protection from the world that had air pollution. However, it also tells the audience that humans must be cautious and start initiating programs to go against the problem of pollution.
Theme(Creator's Point):
First of all, the definition of the word varmint is a troublesome wild animal or a mischievous person. I immediately thought after knowing this fact that the creature represented in the beginning is not symbolizing the "varmints," something else is. In my opinion, the varmint is us, the audience. The humans. The director probably wanted to show the audience how much corruption the urban society has brought upon nature.

Varmints
Summary:
A place where used to be covered by lush vegetation someday suddenly turns into an industrial city but a varmint break one of the tree’s branches and grow it in his room. While the air pollution getting worst and every varmint is getting sick, the seed dropped from the potted plants which the varmint grow becomes bubbles with lush vegetation inside saves all the varmints and fly to the sky.
Ending of this story:
In the end, there are white dandelions floating and dropped at the industrial city where varmints used to live. Since there are no varmints live there anymore( because they are all sucked into that big white jellyfish-like bubble), the seed of that plant which is the white dandelion began to grow and within a month the city is back to the place where it used to be, with lush vegetation.
Theme:
The environmental problem once is done, it is hard to retract.
So we must take care of the earth where we live now.

EBook PDF Resource
Hi everyone. It got busy and I didn’t get to complete my thoughts about our books for the Second Book Report. I want to let you guys know that if you cannot find (or don’t want to buy) a physical copy of your book, try accessing it in PDF file from this site: https://epdf.pub/ . I tried various of your books randomly and ALL are there. I don’t think you even have to make an account. Enjoy. Blog on!
book report
The book I am planning to read is called "Decline and Fall". It is a story about a man named Paul Pennyfeather who has forced to leave Oxford and begins a new life out in the wide world. I personally didn't like the last book I read, so I hope the book I'm going to read this time is a kind of book I like.
Book
For next book Report, I am interested in reading Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. My sister was reading this book for her school, and it seemed to be a good book to have a discussion. She’s in first grade of high school right now, and unlike me, she is a good reader. Can’t believe I’m the older one 🤭
Sherlock
For the Nextel book report, I am planning on reading one of the Sherlock Holmes series by Sir Author Conan Doyle. I have always enjoyed watching the movies and the tv series based on the book, so I am excited about reading his book.
book
I have no idea of how everyone is chossing their books. By knowing that coraline is a story about going to a different world it made me want to read it a little bit. So I think I'll probably read Coraline for my next book report.
Akiba
I went to Akihabara last sunday. It was a hot, sunny day and the weather was really nice. It was about a year since the last time I've been there, so I enjoyed touring around the place.
book report
For the next book report I want to read The little prince. I really love the book and I've read the French version a little so I really want to research more about it to get a deeper understanding of the book. However, if the book is too short I want to read Alice's Adventure in wonderland. I've seen the movie, but I never read the original book so I'm interested in reading it. If none of these are good I want to read Animal Farm.
Book report
one of my options for the book report is the notebook, but I also want few more suggestions so that I’ll have more choices. I want to try reading romance/love story. Does anyone have recommendations for books from those genre?
summer
Do all of you have any plan for summer vacation?
We still have about 1.5 months, but I’m planning to do part time job and go on a trip with my friends. Some of our options are Osaka, Kyoto, and Okinawa. We didn’t decide anything yet but I’m already excited for the vacation.

Book choice
I’m thinking of reading 1984 for my book report, since my first book report was a George Orwell book. I might change it, but if I read 1984, I think I can have a deeper understanding about George Orwell and his writings.
Sunny or rainy
I heard that it is gonna be sunny until Wednesday, but from Thursday, it is gonna be rainy for like a week or so? The temperature changes a lot so it is difficult to choose what to wear and all those kinds of stuff.
Weather
The weather has been really unstable lately. It gets cold and hot suddenly. I have migraines so this is not really good for my health. I hate this season.
Next book report
I think I want to read a horror genre for the next book report. I really like horror and dark themes. Does anyone have a recommendation?
Book Report
It's already Monday, but I haven't decided what to read for my next book report!!!
If you guys have any reccomendation, please tell me..
choice
i am thinking to read a book called Narnia-the lion and the whitch-. If there is someone who read the book, please give me comments
Environment issue
This weeks theme is environment. And we still got one listening report on environment.
To be honest, environment issues is so hard to discuss about. Maybe I will find something other than that.

Book report
I am thinking of reading A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks for my next book report. I have watched the movie before. It was a love story, but watching the movie, I thought that there were religious themes concerning
Christianity. I would like to compare the book to the movie and find out other themes that might be in the book.

summer vacation
I'm going to Bangkok, Thailand during this summer vacation!! I'm really excited. I'm going there with my mother and we already booked the flight and hotel! We're going because my friend from when I was in study abroad lives in Thailand. He was an exchange student from Thailand and we had a same class together, so we got along well. It's been about a year since we haven't met so I'm really looking forward to seeing him again!
We don't have any plans yet, so if anyone knows anything about Thailand let me know!

Aladdin
I saw the movie Aladdin with my friend yesterday. Jasmine was beautiful, Aladdin was a nice guy, but Will Smith had so much presence over all. I love his character, and after seeing the movie, I think nobody else suits the Genie position. Everyone’s saying this, but I recommend you go see it.
I love movies and I like seeing them at home as well. Do you have any recommendations of movies??

Midnight
I came to this blog because I couldn’t sleep at all. I usually go to bed at 10 or 11, sometimes even 9. I just can’t stand having to stay awake during the night. But today, something is stopping me from going to sleep. I listened to a song called Good Night by Ji Jinseok, but it didn’t work at all. No offense to Ji Jinseok and his song. It’s a really good song. Anyways, please let me know if you have a good way to put yourself to sleep!

Rainy Saturday
I realized I’ve only blogged once this week. But what is there to talk about?? Lol. We’re having very gloomy weather today. My schedule for today is 1) go to first period and 2) go to choir practice. We’re working on several songs at the moment for our concert in December. They’re all really beautiful songs.
