English?

I’m having bad days.
Well I should say I WAS having bad days.
I had said something bad even I really didn’t think about! They weren’t my real feeling but I just said something bad. I even don’t know why. Well that was ok, because I will be more careful.
And I got something really bad.
I was so shocked, mad and also sad. I love English. I love to talk with native speakers and have some funs, but I felt I might begin to be afraid to talk in English. I thought that it’s too difficult to understand people have different culture. I’m really depressed about it. But it wasn’t different culture’s fault. For those problems, it depend people. That’s all.
I can’t do this anymore. Just doing nothing is no good for me.


And today, I called my host family.
That made me so happy. I felt so much loves. I felt I want to learn English more and more. I’m going to visit them next summer so I keep going to English conversation school and study lots of English at school too. And that reminds me that I love English and having conversation again!!
I love my host family and friends in US.

Book: Little Woman

I finished reading this book called "Little Woman"(pic).

This book is about one poor family. There are 4 sisters: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. Their father is far away because he has to fight in the war.
In this book Jo found one boy named Lousia. They became really good friends. Beth got scarlet fever because she took care of her friend, but she cured well. Meg married her father's friend!
I like love story so I like that pretty much but I expected that Jo and Louisa become boy friend and girl friend! My friend told me that there is movie of this book so maybe I should watch it.

Christmas Nails

Christmas is coming! I'm really excited about it! I'm going to plan some christmas parties though.

And I decorated my nails. I love decorating my nails. It's Christmas nails! I gotta snowman nail pierced. It's sooo cute isn't it??? I think I should buy present box pierced! It was so cute, too!

Book: American Life

I read this book called American Life.I’m really interested American culture. What I was surprised are first, Americans eat 2000000000 of hot dogs which mean 60 hot dogs for every person in the country! That’s a lot! I love hot dog with chili and cheddar cheese on it. Second, only 5 percent of American catches buses and trains to work! I think almost all Japanese catch buses or train to work or school. That’s big difference. And Japanese train almost never being late. In this book they talk about Native American. I’m little bit interested in it. One time I saw a movie about Native American. Its called dancing wolf..or something. I can’t remember the title but it was a good movie. I wonder how many native Americans there are now.

Speaking HW

We saw wed. 3rd period. In our group, we have many kinds of categoly like national news, inter national, local, sports, food and so on. Each person is going to have 2 categolies and 1 tv commercial. We already decided some small details too but each person can change them if we want.
My part are local news and food.

Speaking HW

About presentation
I was surprised that many group talked about robots, flying car and travel to the moon, and we did it too. But I thought It will be still expensive to travel to the moon though. In my group, everyone wrote the blog about global warming, and I found out many people cares about that problem and that’s good. Every time I have forgot about what I need to talk about in front of some people! And this time Keita who was my partner said same thing too. I hope I could speak more fluently, more naturally when I present. I thought every group had really good presentation even we didn’t have much time!

Book: Changing Places

I read this book called Changing Places.
Hal Tanner lives with dog and works at zoo. He was bored about nothing changes day to day. One day he went to zoo as normal abut there was a movie crew. The actor is Tim Hawkins. He is really popular but also was bored his life as famous actor as well. In the brake time, Tim met Hal and he was so surprised about they were so resemble. He had an idea which is changing place with Hal’s life for couple days. Hal agreed him soon. Tim loved Hal’s life because he didn’t be rounded by his many fans and have to go to parties a lot. He loved animals too. Hal loves Tim’s life. He was so excited to be famous and act in the movies. One day Hal went to one dessert to film the movie and after that, he and Tim were going to back to own life each other. That evening Hal was going to marry his girlfriend, but it rained so hard and everyone said you can’t back to home. But he drove the car from movie and arrived at church just before Tim and Hal’s girlfriend swear to marry. Hal’s girlfriend was so surprised but she and Hal married happily.
I thought there is no way girlfriend didn’t realize her boyfriend, but everything worked out and everyone was happy so it’s ok. I wish I could be Avril Lavigne for a day. I love her fashion and wish I could be cute and cool like her, have blond hair and be really good at singing. I want to shop and buy a lot of things.

Speaking HW

What will the world be like 10 years from now?
I think the environment will be really bad especially global warming if we continue the way we live now. I heard that we won’t have spring and fall in 100 years if we don’t do anything about the environment on the news. Now I’m trying not to have plastic bag. I hope everyone could do something even little things.
In 10 years I think that culture will be more international. Many people will travel to other countries more and get to know about many cultures. I hope many foreigners will visit Kumamoto, not only Tokyo or Kyoto.
About technology, many impossible things will be possible, but still It must be really expensive to try cool technology things for civilian like going to the moon for trip, or having robots at home.
I hope many young people will be more powerful to do new things or be interested in world.

Book: Jojo's story

I red this book called Jojo’s story.
The main character is Jojo who is just ten years old. He was living in the small village with his family but he lost his family, friends, and teachers everything. He was the only one who wasn’t killed that means fight. He was afraid of the man and so hungry. One day he saw one other men coming to village. His name was Chris and he was taking many pictures for English newspaper. He was very nice to Jojo and they became really good friend. Chris took Jojo to the children’s house. It was really big house and many children who lost their family just like Jojo and one doctor; Nicky were living there. After Chris went away, Jojo met one soldier who was his brother’s friend. Jojo liked him because he could feel like he is real Jojo who is from village. Jojo found that the soldiers including a friend of Jojo’s brother had very old guns and boots. So he steeled new one from other soldiers and they were very happy with it. But that means that Jojo had to run away from them because he steeled them. That was the time when Jojo had gun and became a man.
I thought it was really sad and scary story, especially the scene that Jojo and other children had to hide in the deep hall hearing loud gun and their screaming. And it is very sad to image many children lost their legs because of landmines. But I have many things that I still really don’t know about those affairs and I should know and learn about it. One of my friends is working at NGO and she often goes those countries and studying so hard. I saw many times she was looking many books about those kinds of problems too. It’s very good chance to know what it is going on outside of Japan from her so I should ask and lean things more.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

This is my favorite movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas’s picture and Tim Burton (he is its director and producer)’s second film, Corps Bride. In Corps Bride, the main character, Victor Van Dort　is dubbed by Johnny Depp! This is also such a cute movie.

Here is one of my favorite scenes in The Nightmare Before Christmas and the song is What's this by Fall Out Boy which is also one of my favorite band!!

Speaking updatind

My future plan for career is being an English conversation teacher! After I graduate university, I want to teach English conversation with people from many countries. I think that working with them is really good chance to learn many different cultures and I’m really interested in it. This is my ideal work place. The main work is of course teaching English conversation but I want to have little cafe so that teachers and students can get know each others and that is really important, I think. And sometimes I want to have little nail salon like once a week or something, because that is one of my hobby. I want to have something what teachers or students want to do sometimes! We will have many parties too! That would be so cool!
And I want to do International marriage! I want to marry hot guy and have an adorable baby.

・Having more international friends!
・Hopelly my English conversation's skill is getting much better!

Reading Book

I'm glad that they both could get to be a movie star and it was happy ending. If Anita couldn't, I would be mad about it, because Dan was already happy to drive with Anita. He can drive really fast and dangerous as he wants in the movie but I don't think he should drive like that normally. It's too dangerous and he might hurts someone. It must be fun to see how he drives but I never want to try to ride with him! I wonder if they got to be couple after that story.

Jack!!!

I love the movie called The Nightmare Before Christmas!

And My friend game me the Jack ring:)! I know it's just funny toy ring but I was so happy to have that. I wear that everyday:P

Isn't it an adorable??

She found out what Thebes’s plan and put hot oil into the every oil bottles. They run away and never come back and Ali and his family got very rich and live happily.

Halloween Party!!!

I went to Halloween party at my English conversation school with Mari. It was so much fun to talk many people from other countries and see everyone’s costume! Food was good too. Mari and I wore dress and set our hair up. It took almost 3 hours!! But it’s ok because we even had fun with it! Oh I met Robert who is working at KGU. One time he was my teacher there.
I thought it’s really good experience to talk many people and I want to value it even I talked with someone who might not see me again. I sometime refuse some activities just because I don’t want to be nerves. So I thought I should try many things even I think that wouldn’t be fun some other times. No one knows what going to happen in the future.
Anyway the costume price was my friend: Betty!! Her costume was Jack from Pirate of Caribbean. It was really good!!

Pic: Mari, Greg, Ryu and me
I let Ryu wear my high school uniform and made up. It was awesome!
Too bad that I can’t put many pictures on this!!!!!!!! Is there any way that I can put more pictures?

About reatraunt presentation

I think that we did really good job on the restraint presentation! Each person in my group made such a cool and cute menu!! Everyone even thought that we want to bring it to home! But I was so nerves when I did presentation. I always got really nerves when I speak something in front of people! I forgot almost everything when I stand in front of everyone. I was kind of shocked about it, because I worked hard on making my part of menu and remembered.

Reading:Marcel and the White Star

I red this book called Marcel and The White Star.
The main character is a really small mouse named Marcel who live in Paris. He loves opera a lot. One day he saw two men trying to steal a beautiful one million pound diamond ring. It’s Zaza’s diamond ring and it’s going to be needed on the show next day. He followed two men but it was too late. The diamond ring was already stolen by them. He ran and jumped on their car and got the ring from them. He ran to the Zaza’s house and put it next to her pillow. Next day, Zaza’s show was really successed with her beautiful diamond ring.
I think that this story is sweet and Marcel is really cute. I liked that he didn’t anyone even he did such a good job.

Karaage=?iso-2022-jp?B?GyRCInYbKEI=?=

I think everybody likes music and I just thought I would love to go if there is rock restaurant.

about blackbird

I think that the meaning of blackbird's song is like its time to get out of the dark and start to try something new.
I think this is cheer up song but pretty dark song.

Suddenly one guy stoped the taxi and let the taxi driver drive to the airport. He had gun and dragged Jack into a boot.

Give us the Money

I read this book called "Give us the Money".

Main character was Gray who is tired of his boring life. One normal day, he helped one woman who was in danger. But she was just acting for the movie. He misunderstood that it's a real and run with her.He hit a one guy and changed her bag and his one accidentally. When they looked into the bag, they found a lot of money and realized that guy was rubber! They and the supervision helped each other and caught the rubber who was Gray's boss!

It was easy to read so that was good. I think I can try to read little bit more hard one or one has more pages. That ending was cool that the supervision asked Gray to be an actor. So now, he can't be tired of his life.

don't wanna be tired of my life! Never! I wanna do many things what I wanna do and try my best though!

MIB

I read this book called "Men In Black". It's quite popular as movie:)
Two guys, Kay and Edward, work in MIB. MIB is like a nbroederbond to coexist w/ space on the earth. Of course normal people don't know that aliens are in the earth many times and kill people. So if someone find out, they take the neuralyzer:it's a special thing that people foeget everything, if you look at that right, and aim it at the people.
The only thing that I didn't like is...the last boss alien was cockroach..!!!Ew...
That was fun though. I think I should watch the movie, too:), because I heard it is so funny.

NY

I read this book called "New York". I'm really interested in NY, because I'm going to NY next spring!! yay!
I was thinking where I'm gonna visit in NY when I was reading this book.
First, I wanna go to the world trade center...there aren't two towers anymore, but I think I should go there. There are two towers of light there, so I wanna see it.
Of course I wanna visit the statue of liberty! But I'm sad that the book says we cannot go to the top of the statue anymore!...That's OK. Oh,I didn't know that seven points on the statue's crown are for the seven sears!!
I was really impressed to read the story about the brooklyn bridge. It says that it was a long, hard job. It took about 14 yrs to finish! Even 27 bridge workers died...Many people was working so hard and so sick, but when it opened, thousands of New Yorkers came to see it! I wanna cross it, too.
This is what I'm gonna do in NY. I will buy some croissant or beagle w/ Starbucks coffee and walk and shop on the crowd street, seeing tons of yellow taxi...!lol

There is great chance for Nick, competition in his hometown and that prize is one thousands pond! On the competition, he couldn't win, because his rival hit him w/ the surf board! But the judge watched that and he said Nick is winner! He got that prize and his parent say yes for going to Australia.
I do wanna try surf, but I know it can be really dangerous. But one of my friend loves surf, and his stories about surfing is so much fun!! I wanna try, if I have chance though.

2."The Princess Diaries"

I went to Kenritsu University last week and read this book called "The Princess Diaries".

The main character is Mia, and she was just normal teenager. She was so shy to everything like she even couldn't say anything when teacher pointed her in the class.

One day her dad suddenly told her that he is PRINCE in Genovia! She didn't know that at all. And said "You are the heir to the throne of Genovia"!

Now she is a PRINCESS of Genovia!

The one lady accompany her all the time to teach her important lesson about behavior as a princess.

She was so shy and didn't care her behavior before, so it's was so hard to learn how princess behaves.

But she got over many things and changed a lot. She looks so beautiful and now, she is super popular at school.

This story was so cute and I really loved it. I heard there is movie too, so I think I would watch it:)!

World Folktales

I finished reading this book called "World Folktales"(pic).

Ok,as the title,this book is about 9 folktales!
They are from South America,Africa,India,China,and Europe;)!

I'll talk about one folktale called "The Wedding Box" from China.

Main character,Hsiang-ling was so rich but selfish and spoiled everything.
On her wedding day, she gave wedding box to poor stranger who is also having wedding.
That time,she learned kindness to think of others, and not only of herself.
"wedding box";in China, it was traditional that mom give the wedding box to daughter on wedding day.

After while, She had lost everything ,her family,money and home because of terrible flood.

Even she was soo poor, she didn't forget to be kind to others.

Finally she found job as a servant. And that wife was the person whom she gave the wedding box!

She was Mrs.Lu and so rich because Hsiang-ling's wedding box which has great jade helped them to start farm.
Mrs.Lu was really happy to see Hsiang-ling and thanked her soo much.
She shared everything,and they became close friend.

What I really liked in this story is that Hsiang-ling always says "Remember, life moves in circles and happiness comes to people who help others."
I think that would be awesome if everyone think that way.

In every stories, there is an important lesson about life and relationships to be learned.
Also, I could learn about each country's holiday, customs, attitudes,beliefs,and culture!
