Can you have a good winter break? I am having a really good and busy day :) I hang out every daaaay!!!haha 2010 is last one day... This year was very fast!! I could have many experiences. I entered this university, my life changed vey much. First, I live in Osaka so I need to have one and a half hour to go to school. My junior high school and high school is near my house. Therefore time that I go back home is later than ever x( Second, I could have many many friends. They are really interesting! Especially friends who are S.I.S students, they have various background, so I can hear a lot of experiences. It is valuable for me. I love my friends! Also I love this class, English 11. You are really funny and kind for me. Next year maybe we cannot be same class, but hang out sometimes everybody! Alright? You must say Okay!haha Anyway existence of friends is very important for me, so please get along well next year!

I have a plan of my New Year. I spend that day with my family and relatives every year. Relatives will come to my grand father's house.(his house takes 5min from my house) I can meet my cousins. They are very cute! At evening we do Hatsumode. We go to Sumiyoshi-Taisya. It is famous shrine in Osaka. We walk to that shrine. At that time, my uncle always treat Baby-Kastera. That taste was good! Oh, I forgot important things! In the morning, we eat Osechi andOzoni. I like Ozoni! My house's Ozoni is white and there are taro, Japanese radish and rice cake. In your house's Ozoni, what color and what food put into? Umm,that's all. HAVE A GOOD YEAR!

My Lovely Book

This photo is Anne Hathaway. She is an actor and this is when she acts Mia which is the main character of The Princess Diaries.Ordinally, I did not like to reading books. It is not only English one, but also Japanese one. I used to hate reading books, but this book changed me. I became to like reading English books.

Have you ever read this book? I think this book is really exciting! I wanna introduce this book. Main charecter in this book is Mia Thermopolis. She is a high school student and she lives in N.Y. with her mother and her cat ,Fat Louie. Her mother and father did not marry, but they are get along with each other. So Mia go to Genovia (a country that her father lives) every summer and winter holiday. One day she met her father at Plaza Hotel. Then he said, "I am a prince of Genovia, so I am a ruler of Genovia. But I cannot have a children. There is not a heir. You are a my only child. So you are a princess of Genovia." Mia did not want to be a princess. However she became a princess of Genovia, she had a class of princess and studied about princess. This book was written about other things. For example, about Love, Friends. I was really exciting to read this book. If you have a such a book, please tell me about that.

Discoveries

Hello!
Since I was entered this college, I always study English. That's why my department is School of International Studies. When I was a junior high school students, I didn't like to study English. I thought why I had to study English. My national language is Japanese, and I was going to live Japan forever so I did not need study and speak English I thought. Also I don't like my English teacher. He is really strict and he played partiality... For these reasons I disliked English. In summer vacation when I was a second grade of high school student, I went to study abroad. That experiences changed my thinking. I stayed with a family in New Zealand. My host family was really kind person. Host father was very funny man and host mother was making my lunch box every morning. I spent a lot of time with them. They were a elder so we stayed at house many time. Therefore we spent a lot of time talking about many things. My host family used easy English so I could understand their mean. However I could not tell my thinking I wanted. I wanted speak more about myself but I could not do that. When I went back to Japan, my hearing skill made progress, so I became happy but my speaking skill don't make progress. I was really sad. Then I think I wanna be good English speaker! For these reasons, I selected this department. It is my discoveries!

My future(20 years later)

My parents are both working at the company, so I was lonely when I was a child. I loved my grandmother because she stayed together many times. She was really kind for me, but when I was a second year of elementary school student, she dead. Therefore I became a more lonely girl. I wanted my mother to be in the house. From this reason, I thought that I wanted to be houseworker and take care of my children, so I wanted stay with my children a lot of time. However , these days my plan of future changed. I am going to have worked since I have baby. That is why I like to do anything every time, so I dislike waste of time. I understand houseworker is busy, but working mother is more busy than houseworker. It is because they have to do not only their business works but also their house works,such as making dishes, taking care of their children, cleaning the house etc. I think it is really busy and I know how hard they work. However I like busy life than having many free times. Therefore I will to be working mother.

By the way, I have another plan of my future. It's very different from before one. I wanna have an intercultural marriage. That dream comes true, I gonna live abroad. Then I wanna to be houseworker, and live near the ocean. I wanna go ocean in weekend, and have a lunchbox that I made. It is good!:) If I take the plan to be working mother or to be houseworker in foreign country, anyway I wanna have two or three children!!!

Cooking

I'm crazy about cooking. I made this spaghetti. So far I made countless dishes. Also I made desserts. When I was in the third year of elementary school student, I begun to cook. It is because my parents both work at the company. In addition, my grandfather has lived alone near my house, so my family had gone there in the morning. Then I made a breakfast. At that time I could make only easy cooking. For example, scrambled eggs, boiled wiener, and fried vegetables. I learned many recipes gradually, I can make many kinds of dishes and desserts now. Last month I extracted my tooth so I couldn't eat something, I could eat only soup. Therefore I made sweet potato's pottage and pumpkin's pottage. That tasted great! It was yummy:) and it's easy to cook. So I gonna tell you that, if you want to know how to make.

My Opinion of Marriage

Hello! Today I will write about my ideal marriage. First, about my ideal partner: I have necessary conditions for my partner. It is kindness, gentleness, and reliableness. I like the parson who has a kindness for everyone and has a gentleness for everyone, especiallly fo me!! :) haha However I want the partner to have only gentleness but also strictness. If I would do some bad action, or go to the bad way, I want him to scoled me. So I want to help each other. And most important condition is reliableness. I would like to marry the partner who would protect me no matter what happens or at any situation. Aiso I want him to believe every time, everything. I don't want him to tell a lie for me. Everything I woulg like him to tell me honestly.

Second, about my married life: I would like to have an intercultural marriage. So I wanna marry foreigner. I wanna live in foreign country and I want my children to teach both English and Japanese.

It's my ideal partner and married life. What do you think?

Fads/Fashion I Dislike

Do you know the word "Sosyokukei-danshi"? It means boys who have no aggressive. My ideal parson is "Nikusyokukei-danshi". So I don't like Sosyokukei-danshi. Why someone like them? I cannot understand. I want boys to be aggressively. I want boy to lead me every time. Do you like Sosyokukei-danshi? Please tell me your opinion.

Also I don't like smoking. I hate the smell of the cigarette. It is really bad smell, and to smoke is really bad for the health. I don't understand why someone smoke. In addition, young people smoke. Some of my friends smoke... The tax of cigarette became high these days. So you have to pay much money and smoking makes your health bad. I really suggest giving up smoking.

A Good Friend

When I was a junior high school students, I belonged to badminton club. Firstly, I didn't want to belong to this club, because the practice was really hard, and my good friends were not there. They stopped to belong to. So I had a lot of worry things at the first. However I love badminton, and I love my teammate of that club. We had many troubles, but we could slove them. We had many consultations whenever we had a probrem. We talked honestly, and it made us more thick. Best friends are Rie, Ayaka, Chiho, and Nagisa. I still play with them, I meet them two or three times per a year. They are really funny and I feel comfortable when I stay with them. I had a lot of junior hogh school memories. And almost is club memories. Activity of club was the most valuable things for me. I thought that I endured a hard practice. I am really glad to meet them.

My English Classmate

This is my English classmate, E11. I like them! E11 is Saho, Airi, Yuko, Shoko, Izumi, Yukie, Hinako, Akari, Azusa, Kame, Makun, Ryo, Satoshi, Taka, Seiji. I met them in April. When I met them first, I worried about what I could get along with them. But I could get along well with them. I think they are good friend. We sometimes go somewhere to play with. In September we went to USJ. It was a really funny time! I am always laughimg when I stay with them :) I like E11. I wanna hold Christmas Party with them and our teacher, John and Miwako! Now I am planning to go to short trip. It is bus tour. We can eat many crabs! What do you think about this???

I could not see them clearly, they sung at main stage. But they went around the environs, then I could see them clearly! They are really cool. Do you know "One Love", the title of song? I think that is very famous so you may have had heard that song. When they sung that, they went around the environs. Jun Matsumoto sung in front of me!! I like "One Love" and I like him so I was really happy.

My another halloween is BBC Halloween Party.

It was funny party I had a good time. Many people came that party. I brought a chocolate cake. Friends pleased and said "yammy". I was really happy. And we did BINGO game. I won that game, took forth place!! I got a jigsaw puzzle. It was cute! I gonna make that. Satoshi got a poster on which there are many sexy women. He really pleased!! :)haha

A Special Day

October 4th was a my birthday. I became 19 years old.
That day many friends celebrated my birthday.
I had a really special day. So I write about that day.

After school, I went to restaurant with my friends.

There were many cakes and dishes and we ate them a lot.

We were really enjoying this time and talking a lot.
We talked about our studies abroad.
Then a friend said,
"I ate many foods when I studied abroad so I grew fat. I have a that photo and I cannot see that.

Because it's like a tuna that was up on the beach!!"

We bursted out laughing. There were a friend who burst into laughter very often.

He was laughing then he couldn't help laughing too.

After that I went to take a cream with my friends.

We had to make that by ourselves.

I could make that well, but my friends couldn't make that..

She surprised that creams were going out with vigor.

So she let go her hand of the lever. Then creams fell and it looks like turd. lol
I couldn't help laughing!! It was very funny thing.

Later I went along after my friend, and we arrived at Mondoyakujin.

I went to the restaurant, then I really surprised!!

There were many friends!! They celebrated me!! Oh my god!

I was sooooo happy. They bought a cake for me and gave me a flower.

Many friends wrote messages in a square piece of high-quality paperboard.

Especially, llama and donky prepareted mant things. Thank you so much.

I thought I'm surrounded by good friends, teachers and family.

This year, I had a best birthday in my life.

Thank you everybody. I love you.

Is technology making people less communication?

There are many useful things in the world,
it helps communication with many people anywhere.
So we can contact with friends by using many tools everytime, everywhere.
For example, cellphone, PC.
However that cut down times that we communicate with our families and friends.
Technology is making people less communication Face-to-face.
John said in the past families were sharing an experience watching TV.
I think so that.
In my house, we are watching TV at night.
But these days I cannot watch TV with my family.
I go back home late and I have to do my homework using PC.

Developing the techonology is giving many benefits.
Our lives become useful!!
It is important to use countless tools depending on the situation.

Fast Fashion

Today I went shopping to Namba with my mother, sister and grandma.
Have you been to Namba?
There are many kinds of shops and the most shop is which sell clothes.
I went to "g.u." today. Do you know this shop?
This shop is UNIQLO's sister shop. It opened in Oct 22nd.
So there were lots of people!! I felt bad... ;(
However the price is very cheap!! We were surprised.
I bought pants. It was 990yen! You think it is awful don't you?
Why can they sell at these low price?
It's because they make all product in their company.

The policy of g.u. is
"More freedom for the fashion
If it is clothes selling only inexpensiveness, we don't line up in the store of g.u.
If it is clothes declaring only quality, the tag of g.u. does not gain"

I think this policy is really cool.
It is important for us not only price but also quality.
I had a good shopping today.

Danjiri

Last Saturday and Sunday, I went to my grandmother's house and I watched Kishiwada Danjiri festival. Do you know Danjiri? It's really exciting festival! I joined this festival until when I was twelve years old. I like Danjiri but I didn't watch that these years because I was having a test. So I watched Danjiri after a long time. When I was an elementary student, I could take part in this but i cannot do that now.... I wish I lived in the city, because if I did, I would be able to attend the Danjiri festival. I really wanted to attend that... My birthday is Octover and this festival is held Octover so when I was born I listend festival music so I love this festival!! My mother and grandmother said this :)haha

Spread my friendship

In spring semester, I met Sam, she's an international student, and we became friends.
In July, she had to go back her country, but I don't have her address so I couldn't connect her.
I was sad. I had a foreigner friend but I lost her ;(
After that, in summer I started Facebook.
then I found out her and we could connect!!
I'm so glad^^ I can mail and chat her.

And another thing, I went to abroad to study in New Zealand.
Then I became friends and I'm e-mailing them now.
I think it is really good things.
So we are friends now on and they teach me English.

Developing the technology spreads our relationship.
So we can communicate with people who live all over the world.

A decade ago,there were a few tools to communicate with the worlds.

Letters, and to go there etc....

To send letter needs lots times and to go abroad need lots of money.

E-mail is really useful because it don't need lots times and money.

Except e-mails,we are having many useful tools.

For example, skype or facebook, chatting, blogging and so on.

I want to communicate with many people regardless of country.
Globalization helps my hope :)

My good and bad points

Hello!

These days, really hot :(

I sweat a lot!!!

My bad point is to get tired of things very quickly.

Oh my god!!!!!

I am dietting from today.

If I ate snacks, please say to me "Don't eat!"

And another bad point is to get lonely easily.

I really get lonely easily.

I think it's bad because there are many times I do everything alone in college life.

My good point is I'm a sociable person.

I like to speak people and I'm not shy,

so I can readily make friends with anybody and everybody.

And another good point is I have a good smile.(said by kevin)

I think smiling everytime is really important.

"Smile makes me happy" I believe in that.

My painful experiences

When I was a 3rd grade at elementary school, I had an accident.
One day, my mother went to hair cut shop near my house,
so I and my younger sister stayed at home to look after the house.
Then my sister was 4years old, so she got tired halfway.
I decided to go to the hair cut shop with my sister.
We went to there to walk and we talked my mother.
A few minute later, we went back home.
On our way to go to home, my sister tired to walk, so I carried her on my back.
I walked the narrow road, then a car came.
I tried to avoid the car, but I slipped because I carried my sister on my back.
Then my kneecap broke. I lost a lot of bloods.
