my plans for the winter break

What are you plans for the winter break? Will you study? travel? sleep under the kotatsu?

---------------------------------------------

In the end of December , Im going to Tokyo with my feriends for 3days.
I've never been there for sightseeing.
So I'm so excited about it.
I'm thinking to visit Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ikebukukro, Roppongi and other famous places.

In february, I'm gonna go to thailand for 2 weeks.
And I also gonna go to do ski with my cirle members.

In March, I have no idea what I will do.
Maybe I will be working hard.
I will earn a lot of money during the winter break so that I can travel.

still child....

What does it mean to be an adult?
When will you think of yourself as a grown up?


----------------------------------

it means to take responsibility for myself.
if I do something wrong , I have to resolve it by myself.

I fell I'm still child. Because untill I become 20 years old, I can't vote and drink alcholole.
And also, when I want to buy something expencive , I',m always asked for my parents addmission. It's so annoying for me. I couldn't buy the plain ticket for Thailand without my parents admisson.

I think I will be groun up when i become 20 years old.

earliest memory

What's your earliest childhood memory?

-------------------------------------

When i was younger , around 4 years old, I and my brother was addicted to the game boy and Poke-mon cards.
I always play it and battled with him.
He was my good conpetiter.

I used to memenber the names of all poke-mon and its songs.
Now I forgot everything though. lol

This is my earliest childhhod memory , i think.

At that time, everyone in my school was addicted to Poke-mon and the game boy game.

foreign countries

What countries are you thinking about visiting in the future (study abroad or just travel)? Why?

I'm going to Thailand in February. it will be my first trip without any tours.
I've been to Canada and australia onece but both were all desinged tours.
So i couldn't decide where to visit or when I leave.
It was a easy trip for me.

This time I can do whatever I want. I can visit wherever I want.
But I have to reacrch a lot by myself.
I'm reading a book about Thailand....
And I talked my friends who have lived or been there.

It takes more time to arrange our trip by ourselves but i think it will be more fun!!


I'm aloso going to California next year to study abrad.
I'm really excited.

I wannna visit as many countries as posible during my whole life.
I wanna visit many places around the world.
At first, I'll visit all countries in Asia.
Because countries in Asia area are close to Japan.
We can get plane ticket cheaper than to Europe.

And
I'm thinking of visiting countries in Europe during my4th year in college.
To do so, now I'm saving my money and trying to earn a lot as a part time job.

I wannt buy many clothes but I want to take a trip to foreign countries more.


I love travering <333

misunderstanding between men and women

What do you think is the greatest misunderstanding or misperception between men and women?

This topic is really interesting ! lol
But it's too difficult to write about it.....

I think the way to use the email will cause the gretest misunderstanding between men and women.
In my opinion, women tends to want many emails from their lovers. On the other hand, men don't want to send emails so often.
I think that may cause misunderstanding.

Men don't reply soon or text quite often. Women think it is the sign that the wen don't love them a lot.
But men don't mean that.
There is a very big difference. Of course, it depends on people though.

What do you think about my opinion?

fall

Fall is finally here.
What do you think of this season?
How does it compare to other seasons?

------

I like fall very much <33
There two reasons why I like them.

In fall it is confortable, not too hot not too cold. Awesome.
And we can eat many delicious foods whisch are mainly eaten in fall.
For example, we can eat a sweet chestnut, matsutake mushroom, and so on.
They are very special for japanese i think.

my tipe of boys

At first i didn't understand what the topic means.
Do I have to write about my tipe of boys? No way!!!!!!!lol
But i will try this time.haha--





Girls like to talke about love. Of course, me too.I'm a teenager girl.
Then my friends often ask me for my tipe of boys.
I don't have an answer. I can't explain my tipe. It's too difficult to say, right?


i think many Japanese girls would say 'I like a cool, hot, tall, kind and generous guy.'
It is a very standerd unswer, I guess.
I'm not sure the answer is same among girls in other countries though.

My answer is the same as common japanese girls.
I like a cool, tall, kind, generous goy.
But I wanna add one more thing. I like a boy who likes playing sports and going out.That's it!
I like excercising, going out and playing sports. So it's important for me.lol

I have no idea what will happen to my life in the future. I'm a litle bit scared but excited!

I like talking about this topic with girls<333

the top trend in japan

What are the top trends in Japan today? What kinds of people are into these fads? Why are they so popular? Do you think they will last?

----------------------

I think iPhone is the top trend in japan now. After iPhone 4 started to be on a market, many many people wait to get one. i am on of them though.lol Once i get on a train, look around, definitely there are 2 or 3 people maybe more are using iPhone. Many people are touching the scream, listening to music, texting email. More and more people started to use iPhone. It is so useful, that's why many people change their cellphone to iPhone. Personally, I don't like softbank though.lol But i love my iPhone <33 I heard iPhone 5 is coming next year. So the popularity of iPhone will last long, I guess.

Surprised!!!

What is the most unusual cultural custom you have experienced or seen? Do you think any Japanese customs are strange? If you could pick one custom from another culture that would become part of Japanese culture, what would it be?------------------------------I can't decide which is the most unusual custom. I'll write about one episode that I experienced in Canada. When I went to Canada, there was one thing I was surprised. My host sister was taking a bath and my host mother took her out from a bathtub. In the bathtub, there were many bubbles because she washed her body inside the bathtub. But without removing the bubbles, host mother took her daughter out from the bath. I was surprised. There ware many babbled with her body but her mother didn't care at all. I don't know that is common custom in Canada. It may happen only in the family. Anyway i was surprised.

Miost important technology in my life

What technology is most important in your life right now? Why? What would you do if you had to live without it?

---------------------------

The most important technology in my life is the iPhone !!! The Internet !! I can't live without it. I always use it for sending emails, blogging , chatting with my friends , talking on skype , writing on facebook and mixi , and also looking up for the train time table . The Internet system is one of my daily life. I can't spare it. Actually, now I'm writing this blog on the train to KG with my iPhone. If I had to live without the Internet , my life would be hard. Now I can check out the train time table whenever I want, wherever I am. But if I don't have the Internet, I would have to look the paper time table for each train. I would have to check the Midousuji-line and hankyu-line and also think about the time for changing trains. And also, I can't keep in touch with my old friends if I would not have the Internet. Mixi is awesome!! I can know how my friends are. I can tell how my college life is going. There are no days I don't use the Internet. It's the most important technology not only in my life , but also in most of yours.


Today's topic was difficult to write. I have a lot of ideas but I can't write everything in English.

summer is over

Summer is gone. I had a really good summer vacation. I went to Ishikawa on my circle camping, Tottori with my friends by car, festivals, movies, karaoke and other interesting places. Sometimes I staed up all night talking with my friens. I hang out with friends almost everyday. Awesome days!!!!

I also ealned money working at Saizeriya, an Itarian restaurant near my house. During a summer vacation, a lot of families and young people came to the restaurant. It was always busy.

And I took a TOEFL class at KG. I got up at six and went to the school on weekdays for about 14 days(I forgot the exact number of days). I studied as if I were the student who had a entrance exam. Thanks to the classes , I took the best score. I'm so so so happy.

I wanted to go somewhere abroad. But I couldn't because I couldn't afford it. So I'm planing to go abroad during next spring vacation.

And recently, I met a sweet girl from America, Tiffany. I am her Japanse partner. We had lunch together , went to Nishinomiya-gardends for shopping. Our next plan is to go to karaoke because she loves siging. I had a really good time with her. Many new exchange students came to KG. I feel something new, different from what the campus was.

Anyway, I will keep blogging as possible.
See you later.

summer

I'm really enjoying my summer vacation!!!

Everyday I have a good time so far.

I went to Sannomiya with my firiends.
We walked around.
It was so hot day, so exhausted.
But really really good day!!!!!
It was the last day I could meet with Sam and Daniel.
I miss them now X(


I went to Tenjin-Masuri for the first time in my life.
It was so so so crowded!!!! Too many people!!!!
I couldn't see the fireworks at all though, I had a really good time.lol
I love MATSURI.


I hang out with my friends almost everyday.
Good summer vacation!!!!
The only bad thing is the tempreture and humidity in Japan.
I can't stand too hot days anymore...


I'm gonna go to a beach, movie, pool and other places.
I'm so excited!!


Have a good summer ★

my first semester

My first semester has gone so quickly.
I can't belive that 3 months already passed since I entered the college.

I'm having really good college life.
I was very nurvous whether I can make good friends or not before I bocome a KG students.
But now there are so many good friends around me.

Recently I got used to get up at five thity and take a train for about two hours.
In Aplile I was so tired everyday.
I wish I could live near KG.

I started my fist part-time job in March.
It makes me busy but I can learn a lot of things from my job.
At first I made so many mistakes but now I rarely do that.

I like English classes the most at KG.
There are many friends who are really good at speaking english.
They inspire me a lot.

I took intensive class of TOEFL.
It was so taugh for me to go to the classes after school.
I couldn't go to my cicle activity because of TOEFL class.
But thanks to that my TOEFL score got better.

Any way I can't wait for my summer vacation!!
I have so many things that I wanna do.

I'm so happy that I'm here now.
I like my school, teachers, friends so much.


I'll keep blogging during summer break.
So plese leave your comment :)

My Summer Plan

I want to do many things in the summer vacation.

I'm going to go to the camp of my basketball circle to ishikawa prifecture for 3 days.
I'm so excited!!!

And I'll study English harder for TOEFL test to study abroad.
Actually I don't want to study so hard, but I have to do....


I also work for many hours to earn money.
I want to make money to go abroad.

Now I'm persuading my grandmother to go abroad with me.
She is cheerful and healthy in spite of her age.
And she has never been abroad, so I want her to know another world.
But she is hesitating.
So I'll show her pictures of foreign countries to make her interested in overseas.


What I realy want to do in the summer vacation is to meet my friends from my high school and my junior high school.


I want to do too many things.
I don't have enough time to do everythings that I want to .

a souvenir I bring

When I went to Canada, I brought a rice crasker, a paper-balloon and some japanese famous snaks.
The kids realy liked a paper-ballon.
I played with kids using it.

Next time I go abroad, I'll bring some toys if my host family has some kids.

And I'll bring a lot of pictures of mine to show them about Japan and me.
It is good way to show pictures to make them know about Japan and me better.


I'm not sure whether I can go abroad or not though....

What is Love ?

Kevin game us difficult topic!! lol


I think LOVE is the most important thing in our life.
Everyday I feel love from my family, friends and etc.

But love is the most difficult thing.

Love between boys and girls is fragile.
It's difficult to keep loving each other.

Even my mother and father sometimes quarrel .


But real Love is strong!!!

So we are looking for something real, I think.

In my last calss, when we talked about destinied love, I said there is destinied love.
But actually, I'm not sure...lol
I wish there is,,,,,


It is interesting for me to talk about love or sometihng.

I wanna hear many opinions about love from my classmates.

Good songs

I love HY's songs. HY is a famous group from Okinawa.Their songs give me encourage and hopes.

Especially, I like Izumi Nakasone, only female singer of HY.

Her voice is so good and telling to me somethinng. She write a song by her self. The words of her songs are so good. If you are in torouble, you should listen to her voice. You will feel that the words in her songs describe your mind.

She also write a book. Thre are a lot of good words in it. I was moved when I read it for the first time.

You can listen to their songs on YouTube. Check it out!!!

In my mind...

7th topic is difficult...

What am I thinking of these days...

Nowadays, I am thinking of many things.

First,

"Why are there only 24 hours in a day, why not 48 hours?"

After I entered the college, I lead a busy life.

I wanna study more, read books, go out for shoping, go to a movie, earn money, travel abroad, go to Karaoke.....

I wanna do so many things, and there are a lot of things to do.

I can't have enough time to do all what I wanna do.

And especially, I am thinking of studying abroad almost every day.

I wanna do that!!!!!!

But I'm so so so so nurvous whether I can study abroad as a exchange student.

I'm sad that my English skill is poor.

Please let me know if you have a same care like me.

Finally, now I'm thinking that whether I'll go to bed or not... lol

I knew what does this mark, lol, mean for the first time today from Rie.

I'll use this mark from now on!!

good restaurant

Today I'm gona talk about a restaurant, Saizeriya.
I think many of you know Saizeriya and like it.
Because they offer cheep dishes but good taste.
It's good for students!!!!

I work at Saizeriya, so I wrote about it today.

If you have only 500 yen, you can go for lunch!!!!!
You can have a good time with friends at Saizeriya.

I recommend Mirano-hu doria to you. It's sheep and very dericious.

You can aloso drink a wine or beer.

There are many Saizeriya around Kobe and Osaka.
You can find it easily.

Why don't you go with me :)

Vancouver in Canada

When I was a second year haigh school student, I went to Vancouver in the summer vacation.
I stayed there for two weeks. Vancouver was a really good place.
There ware much nature, for example, huge lakes, high mountains, many trees, big parks etc.

What I liked in Vancouver was the variety of houses.There were not the same houses. Every houses were different. In japan, many houses seem to be alike in a residential area. Most houses have same colord wall, same shapes of windows. They are boring.But in Vancouver, some house had a red wide roof, and big windouws, the other house had many small windous and blown wall even in a residential area.Every houses were completely diferent. It was interesting for me to see the houses from bus. Although every houses were different, I had a hard time to find out my house. Because there were so many houses!!!! If all these houses were alike like Japanes one in Vancouver, I think I couldn't find out my house. It was also interesting for me that every houses had each numbers on the front doors. It helped me to find the house. I think Japan should introduce the idea. It would help a post officer to deliver a letter .

My Home Town

I live in Osaka for my whole life. My house is in Mihara-ku Sakai city. I live in Osaka, But my home town is rural. There is not any stations in Mihara-ku. I have to ride a bike for about 15 minituts to go to the nearest starion. So it's really really inconvenient to go somewhere by train from my house. So when I have 1st lesson, I have to get up at 5:30!!! It's so hard. I'm tired of gettin up early, so I wanna live near the college!!! But my father won't let me do that.



By the way, I introduce about Osaka. I think moust people know what's famous for Osaka. It's always said that Osaka is famous for TAKOYAKI, OKONOMIYAKI. I love them. Let's have a TAKOYAKI party with us someday!!! It must be interesting!!!

Recently there are a lot of visiters from overseas at NAMBA. I'm happy that many foureiners know NAMBA and visit there.



I also write about Mihara-ku. Few years ago, it was not Mihara-ku like now. It was not part of Sakai City, but my home town become a art of Sakai City when I was in elementary school. Thanks to that change, my home town become a little more ppopular than before. But KYU-SYOKU (school lunch) became bad.



There are no place to go to paly except parks. There are no station, no famous buillding. But I like my hometown, because there are many friends in Mihara-ku.I hate only hate it takes me two hours to go to KG. haha

in the future

Today I'm gonna write about what I wanna do in the future.

In the nearest future, I wanna study abroad for a year as a exchange student.
It is the most important aim during my colledge life.
I entered KG because I wanna study English!!!
I'm really really happy that there are variety people who have different backgrounds around me.And there are many people who have studied abroad, because i can hear about their ezperiences.
So after entered KG , I'm very very nurvous whether I can study abroad as a exchange student because of my poor English.
But it's the best thing that i wanna do in the future. So I'll do my best.


Now I've not dicided what job I wanna do in the future yet. Some of my friends aready have decided what to be in the future.So I want to find what I realy want to do in the future during my colledge life. This is the second thing what I wanna do in the future. I'm interested in politics, economics, literature etc. Now I cann't decide what I realy want to study. So school of international studies is good for me bacause I have many kinds of choises.

good teacher

I've studied english conversation at ECC for about 3 years.
At ECC, i talk wiht many foreign tachers from different countries.One of them, there was a teacher who impressed me a lot.She was very very friendly, and talk a lot of things to me.One day, she talked me the way of her thinking of her life.She's traveled many countries by herself.She likes traveling by herself because she can make friends wher she go.One day , she went to tailand to do diving , ofcouse by herself.There were many foreiners whose mother tounge were different.But she comunicated with them in English.When she was talking about the storry to me, her fase was shining.And she also said, "I'm not married, so people around me worry about that, but I don't care.Everyday I am realy HAPPY.It is the most important thing to be happy.i wanna do manything , but there is not enough time to do what i wanna do even if i live for 100 years."She influenced me a lot.She changed my way of life.It dosen't matter how the people around me think about me.It's the best to BE HAPPY, and make many friends.

good days

It takes me about two hours to go to the niversity.I'm so tired every day.But it doesn't matter.I like my school and friends.

I like English classes the best.It so interesting.I'll take TOEFl test on 24th , so i have to study.But I don't know what should I do. At least i have to go to the bookstore and get a textbook.

I was so so so nuevous about the university life.because I have no friends in same major.Now I could make friends. so Im really happy.

Yesterday I went to karaike with friends from kwangaku.We sang for about 6 hours.We danced , laughed, talked, eated a　lot.I had a realy realy good time.We ate omuraisu for dinner.It was delicious.At that time my friends who had lived in china taked about China. It was interesting story for me.we decided to go to china in summer vacation. I've wanted to go to China someday, so I'm so happay.

In kwangaku there are many student who had lived forein countries. So i can hear theirs experiences.It's good chance for me to know about the world. I appricite for my enviroment.
