MEST

First, let me say......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOSHIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

did u have an awesome birthday??? I hope u did:D!!!







Hotel room, good dive:P


Fuct Up Kid



Rooftops

I gonna talk about one band called MEST!

Maybe I told u before but they are my first favorite PUNK-ROCK band:D

It was 3 years ago. I met one guy from LA and we just hit it off. We hung out together everyday and everyday.
He was used to work for DJ so he knows sooo much about music.
He recommended me MEST, and I just love their music.
When we drove to somewhere, we were listened to their songs over and over.
Sometimes we had fun singing their songs at loud in the car:P
Now our life changed a little, and we can’t hang out together like we did before, but still, we try to make time to meet sometimes.
When I listen to their songs, sometimes they remind me about him and some stupid and crazy stuff we did together clearly.
Meeting him was something.
It was big thing for me tho.

Anyway that’s how I started to love Punk-Rock music!!
So the band, MEST is really special band for me.

The bad thing is that they already broke up before I started to love them, so I maybe never could go to their concert=(

I put some their music here. My favorite songs are Until I Met U, and 2000miles, but I couldn't find their videos, so check them out!
I mean YOU HAVE TO WATCH THEM!!!:P

Bowling for Columbine


I just planted mini-sunflowers as you see the picture above:D
The language of flower is “longing”.
I hope the bud would come out soooooon, I can’t wait for that!

Anyway I was dying to do honors homework. Well I think everyone were in that class right, Yoshie?
It was just sooo tough tho.

We had to write an essay about the movie “Bowling for Columbine”.
Has anyone ever watched that movie before?
It’s about the guns in State.

The director thinks why there are so many gun murders in America.
Many people say that that’s because people in America can get guns easily, and they can have guns. And that’s what I thought, too.
But here’s the thing. Canadian have more guns than America, but the gun murders are much smaller than state. The gun murders in America are more than 11,000, but less than 200 in Canada. That’s pretty interesting, right?
So it means it must be related with some culture stuff.
The director found out it’s about the “Culture of Fear”.
America has the culture of fear. People feel fear and scare, so they buy arms to protect themselves.
It’s like this. The American commercial says “If you have bad breath, people are not gonna talk to you. So here, you should buy this!” People get scare, and they buy it. So many media show some scary news or commercials on TV. But that’s the American economy is. That’s why they have culture of fear.

The interesting part was the talking with MARILYN MANSON.
They were accused by some people about the miserable incident in Columbine high, just because the criminals were listening at their songs even the president was attacking the country on that day. That’s so stupid right?
I think he talked much much much better than other voters, especially the guy who is the top of the rifle association? I mean it's funny the person who was accused about that incident talks much better stuff. And his way of thinking, too though. I think that he has the most important point about this movie.

The director says it’s also warning for British people.
But hey, here in Japan should think about too. We can’t have gun, because it’s illegal. But look, there are gun murders in Japan. Many people have two keys at door, they are getting some crime prevention stuff, parents take their kids cell phone to protect them, and the guards take care about kids to school. Many people know nothing about their neighbors.
Are we getting the culture of fear little by little? I hope Japanese can noticed something before it’s too late.
It was so hard to write an essay about it. It’s big and too difficult problems in that movie. But that movie was something. It was good to watch it for
one time in my life, I think.

Food and Food Habits

My favorite foods are Karaage, and Chirashizushi. On my birthday, I always ask my mom to cook them.
I don’t like vegetable and fish. I mean I can eat them and I eat them sometimes. I always eat main dish first and I get full before I eat vegetables, and I don’t want to eat them, because I don’t like them very much.
That’s why I always get canker sores. I sometimes get three or more of them at the same time, so I go to hospital or burn them with baking soda. It really hurts but it is the easiest way to cure them. I take some pills and applications for canker sores with me. My mom gets mad if I don7 finish up my vegetables, because she loves cooking and l make plans thinking about good diet.My eating habit is putting mayonnaise on. I put it on almost everything even rice or low fish. I can’t eat vegetables or fish without mayonnaise on. I know it makes me get fat if I take it a lot, but I vna7t quit. I even take little mayonnaise with me to school for lunch.

My Hobbies

One of my hobbies is decorating nails. I love to think about design for nails. Normally I put some nail polishes on, and art with tiny brush. After that, I put some articles on. I love nail pierced. You can make a tiny hole with special tools. It is so cute and cool. There is one shop which has so many pierced articles, and I often go there. I buy some for my treat like after I finish tests, or I did good work on something. I go to nail school as hands model. Being decorated is also fun, because I can learn many things about nails. There are so many things and tools for nails and I want to learn and want them. But it is pretty expensive, so I want to collect them little by little. Another hobby is making cards. I often make cards for my family or friends. When I give cards to them and if they like it, I feel so happy and great. It takes hours and hours but I can concentrate on it as decorating nails.

First Classes

I missed almost first classes. I have been sick since Tuesday night, and having high fever. I went to see a doctor on Thursday, and he said that I got flu which is typed B. He said that it is really unusuall to have flu in this season. I was very sad, because I was looking forward to having first classes. It is kind of exciting to see new class mates, teachers, and how or what we will study in this semester. And I know it is very troublesome. I have to ask my friends about what they did in the class, or what we should do for next class. I am worried if I miss something important. For good thing, I am glad to have such a good friends. They said “Don’t worry about class, I will take note so that you can see it later. I will tell you about class, so just get enough sleep and get better for now!” That was really sweet. I am going to school on Monday, so I can’t wait to see them in the class. I am looking forward to having first classes for me!

Kumamoto Zoo, Writing Essay 2

beautiful flowers!
a big elephant
I gotta cute shot of raccoon
the prairie dogs paddock
map of kumamoto zoo




movie of DISKO



Kumamoto Zoo

I want to tell you about Kumamoto zoo. I live near that zoo, so I go there least once a year. If you want to relax and have some clear atmosphere, I recommend you go there. It’s located near an oasis of nature in the city, Lake Ezu. You can walk there in about ten minutes after you get off the tram at Dousyokubutuen-mae. It opens from nine am to five pm. It costs 300 yen for adults, 100 yen for children.

The total area of this zoo is 24 hectares. You can enjoy four kinds of attractions which are the animals, amusements rides, gardens, restaurants, and a souvenir shop. 130 kinds of animals and 600 kinds of plants may soothe you. You can try eleven big rides and 40 small rides. They cost just 10 to 300 yen for each. If you want to take a break, you can go to two restaurants and one souvenir shop.

The most famous animal is the golden snub-nosed monkey. It’s well-known as image of the main character, Songoku. There is a place where you can pet animals. You can have a close contact with animals such as guinea pigs, prairie dogs, mice, sheep, goats, chicks, and chickens. The interesting thing is the Prairie Dog Paddock. You can go through the tunnel and get close-up to prairie dogs at their eye levels.

There is a Ferris wheel, roller coaster, merry-go-round and so on, as normal amusement parks. I recommend you try the monorail. It goes around the zoo for about five minutes, and you can see many animals from different views. The most popular ride for young people is DISKO. It swings left to right while turning. If you like scream rides, you will love it. The zoo is getting many big rides these days, so young people can enjoy them.

The place called Hana-no-kyukeijyo is my favorite place there. It’s a big greenhouse and there are 340 kinds of plants. You can see so many plants and butterflies you probably have never seen before. When you go in there, you can hear the sounds of streams and feel like you are in a completely different place from Japan. The atmosphere is wonderful. That’s why I love that place.

There is a cute souvenir shop. They have some original snacks, stuffed animals, and so on. The most popular souvenir is a snack called Gorira-no-hanakuso. The name sounds silly, but they are sugared beans. It’s pretty famous in Japan. They also have some toys made from woods. They are all handmade toys, so they are good for little kids.

They have many events, so many schools take kids there. I think it’s really neat that you can enjoy many things at the same time. You don’t have to pay that much money, and small kids, young people, elderly people, and of course couples can enjoy it. You won’t find any other places where everyone can get relax and excited. It’s one of the best places in Kumamoto. If you have time and want to have some fun, you probably want to go there.

The Bird's Wedding, Book Review


I will talk about this book called “The Bird’s Wedding”.
It was such a cute story and happy ending which I love=)
It was about two little birds. They felled in love at first sight. The blackbird was the bridegroom, and the thrush was the bride. They are so nice and kind, so they got so many presents for wedding. They got beautiful wedding dress, flowers, wedding feast and so on. They were all great and every bird was happy about their wedding. The wedding was great; every bird sung beautiful songs and danced.
I really liked the book’s pictures. They were so soft and cute. I love that smell of picture books. I liked that they have a small music on that book. It was really nice and fun.

Golden Week Plans

I didn’t do anything special on golden week. It was quite relaxing little break for me. I thought that I was going to hang out with my friends like every night, but I didn’t do at all. I just waked up at noon, and didn’t feel like I want to make up and get dress perfectly. Everyone knows that girls take such a long time to get ready! I just went to karaoke, and shopping with my sister. We sung many songs with eating snacks and sodas. I bought a new bag and I love it! It was quite nice and relaxing shopping I think. It was my sister’s birthday, so we went to nice Japanese restaurant with my parents.
Other stuff, I just used an Internet, or played games with my Nintendo DS. I have a lot of homework to do, so I did some of them.
On the last day of golden week, I feel like I want to have some fun! But it was too late, of course=(
Tomorrow school starts, and I have to go to school. But I have just one period tomorrow so I am happy about it. It was a nice golden week.

The Truth Machine; Book Review


I will talk about this book called “The Truth Machine”.
One professor invented new machine called truth machine. He called one news reporter and introduced it. He said that it is a machine to find out if people tell truth or not. He told everyone that he loves truth, peace, and good people.

He invited three people who are a house wife, a police man, a spy. At first, the house wife brought her husband and asked him if he loves another woman. He said yes and she found he loves her best friend.
Next, the police man came in with criminals. He could find out who had to go to jail, but his boss said “we don’t need you, now!”
After that, the spy came in with another spy. He asked the spy if he has another special secret or not. He talked about it a lot, but said “I never tell the truth, I always tell lies.” at last. He got so confused and things went worth.

All three people were sad, because of the truth machine the professor invented. They were so mad, because they paid a lot of money to him!
They visited the professor and asked him “Do you really love the truth, peace, and good people?!”, but the professor answered “I love money, power, and lies!” They were all so mad, and the police man pulled his gun and shot him. The spy had broken the truth machine.

I was surprised they killed the professor at last, because when I started to read this book, I thought the professor was gonna help people and he was a good man. These days, many professors invent new machines, science is developed and they help a lot, but it isn’t always good for us. There are so many stuff that we don’t need. Many people say is wealthy better than poverty? I think that that’s big problem that we have to think about.
