The season I hate

The season I hate is winter because I dislike cold. I'm reluctant to do everything in winter. I don't want to put up with cold because I can't do. In addition, I can't get up early in winter because it's too cold. I hate cold. When I was a girl, I was happy about snowing because Kumamoto rarely has snow and I could play with snow. I didn't understand my friends don't want to play outside when it snowed. However, I can understand that now. It's too cold when it snows, so I hope that it doesn't snow. In winter, my action becomes slow because I don't want to move as possible. I always want to stay in a warm room. I don't want to know an environmental problem in winter. I use air-conditioning more than in summer.

My favorite sport to watch

I have a lot of favorite sports to watch because sports are exciting, but I'm not good at them. My favorite sports are volleyball, basketball, and soccer. First, volleyball is very exciting. When I watched its game, I'm often cheering without my noticing that. I also like playing volleyball, but I'm not good at it. In addition, I like watching games of basketball. My sister and brother have joined the basketball teams. My brother plays basketball in high school, too. That is why I'm interested in it. When I'm watching the game on TV with my sister and brother, they talked a lot about it because they are experienced persons. I'm not, so I sometimes don't understand their talk. Basketball is a so cool sport. I don't know the reason, but I feel it's very cool. Finally, I like both watching and playing soccer.

My favorite clubs/circle

My favorite club is a chorus club. I belong to it when I was a junior high school student. I like singing though I'm not good at doing. I like the members of the club, too. We practiced hard and helped each other. I was the leader, and the role was so hard. However, I continued to make an effort to be a good leader because I liked chorus so much. I like both singing and listening chorus. The chorus club won several awards. I was so happy then. However, I disliked chorus when I was ninth grader because the practice was so hard and my skill of singing didn't improve. I didn't belong to the chorus club in high school, and I didn't sing. However, I often looked back on my memory of the chorus club in junior high school then. I liked chorus so much again. Of course, I like it now, too.

My favorite animals

My favorite animals are rabbits and cats because they are so cute. I don't want to have them as a pet, but I like them so much. When I went to the zoo, I touched rabbits for the first time. That time is so happy. I enjoyed playing with them there. I like cats so much, too. I often played with them in my friend's house when I was an elementary school student. However, I disliked them at one time because a cat jumped onto my head and I was afraid of that. The situation is only one time in my life. It's rare situation. I understood that and I overcame that fear. When I disliked cats, I wanted to touch them and play together because they're so cute. Then, I tried to approach them many times. I can play with cats again without my noticing it.

Lolita Fashion Presentation








Hello, everyone. What kind of fashion do you like? I like Lolita fashion the best. I'll introduce it. It's one of Japanese subcultures. There are various opinions about the fashion. Some people think that it's "kosupure" and dislike it. The other people don't think that and like it so much. The latter is fans of the fashion. Of course, I'm one of the fans. I love Lolita fashion because it' so cute. It has a lot of cute items. It was made in Japan, but there are the fans in some foreign countries, too.

First, I'll introduce the history. In the 1970s, "MILK," which is a fashion brand, was made. It's called "Lolita's origin" latter. It had made cute clothes for idols, but ordinary people started to wear, too. Then, "Jane Marple" was made by Megumi Murano in 1985. It also creates cute clothes. In addition, indie brands appeared. They made unique and so cute clothes. In the beginning of 1990s, the category of Lolita fashion was completed.

Then, there are many brands of Lolita fashion in Japan. For example, BABY, THE STARS SHINE BRIGHT, Innocent World, Angelic Pretty, Mary Magdalene, and Victorian maiden. I like "Innocent World" the best. BABY is famous for the movie "Shimotsuma story." The main character wore clothes of the brand, and it became popular. In addition, the fashion has various kinds. For example, sweet Lolita, classical Lolita, and black Lolita. I like classical Lolita the best.

Lolita fashion is introduce to overseas. Who introduce the fashion? It's pop culture communicates. They were appointed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and introduce Japanese woman's fashion abroad. Misako Aoki, who is one of them, introduces Lolita fashion abroad. She is a nurse and fashion model. And, there are the fans all over the world.

Some people want to wear the fashion, but they can't do because prices of the clothes of Lolita brands are usually expensive. However, Lolita fashion is easier than you expect because it's also one of fashion. So, I have the solution. If you wear Lolita fashion easily, you should buy clothes in shops except for Lolita brands. The left picture is an example. There isn't Lolita brands. If you wear a flared skirt, a frilly blouse, an under skirt like the right picture, cute hair accessories, you can wear the fashion. You don't have to get expensive clothes when you wear it. Shall we try Lolita fashion?

Thank you!

I'm Busy, But Fine

I'm too busy nowadays, so I don't have enough time to post on my blog. I have a lot of assignments, a hard part-time job, and want to study for TOEFL, study Spanish, and examine the country where I'll go to study next year. These things I should do are very hard for me, and I need to reduce my hours of sleep for those. However, I want to do them and decided to do all of them exactly because they're so important for me. I'm explaining the reason.

First, most of the assignments make me use English. That improves my English, so I should do the assignments. I want to get a good skill of using English and a high score of TOEFL before I study abroad. In addition, I also want to study Spanish because I'm not satisfied with only English. I'll start to study Spanish again after I take TOEFL on December 10.

Second, I do a little hard part-time job. I have two reasons. I want to earn money because I don't want my parents to pay all expenses for my studying abroad. I want to pay a little money for it. In addition, I want to practice for becoming a working member of society because I don't know many things of the world.

As you can see, I try the busy life because all of them are so important for me. I want to improve my English and use it well. I hope to speak, listen to, and write it well. Moreover, I want money. I'm so busy, fine, and positive.

Fun English Weekend

I enjoyed English Weekend on from November 12 to 13. It is staying with KGU students and exchange students. I was nervous until the first day of it because I wasn't good at speaking English and I hadn't joined English Weekend. However, a lot of my friends also joined it. They were dependable and people I met for the first time during it were good. This is why I enjoyed the event and it became important for me.

My favorite shoes

My favorite shoes are broken now, so I'm sad. The shoes are so pretty. They are pink and have four ribbons. The height of the heels is five centimeter. Is it high? I feel it's high because I'm tall and I don't want to grow taller, but it's very cute, so I really like them. I bought them last year in my favorite shop. The shoes were expensive, but I really wanted them. I was happy when I was able to get them. However, they are broken. I haven't worn them many times, so I want to wear them again. I'm worrying whether I should have them repaired or not. I also want to buy new shoes, but I don't have a lot of money. I'm worrying about my favorite shoes now.

My favorite season

I like spring the best of the four seasons because the temperature is good to spend. For example, when I want to clean my room, I must open the window. If I want to do in summer, it's too hot that I can't concentrate on cleaning my room. If I want to do in winter, it's too cold that I can't do. Then, I also like fall, but my favorite season is spring because spring makes me excited. I don't know the reason well, I want to do something new in spring. I feel spring brings them to me. In fact, there is an entrance ceremony, where people meet something new, in spring in Japan. Therefore, I guess I feel that.

However, I shopped there because clothes for lolita fashion were expensive. I shopped in Tenjin Core. There was LIZ LISA, which is one of my favorite brands, on the first floor. I bought a coat and a bag. Malls in Tenjin have a lot of cute things, so I like Tenjin.

My favorite music

My favorite music is J-pop, foreign music, classic, and animation songs. I like various music. My favorite singer is Avril Lavigne. Her music makes me cheerful. Her music is wonderful, but I became her fan when her 4th album was produced. I watched her singing on TV then and I got interested in her. Then, I borrowed her 3rd album in the rental CD shop near my house, and I listened to the CD. I liked her songs very much. When her 4th album was produced, I bought it soon. I also like her songs in it very much. Moreover, I like animation songs, too. They are very cute songs and sometimes so funny. I enjoy singing them in Karaoke.

My New Hobby

My new hobby is collecting Sanrio goods because I found that Sanrio produced very cute stationery. I had liked Sanrio goods since I was a little girl, but I have liked them more since then. I like cute things very much.

There is a mechanical pencil in the left picture. I bought it in September. Its design is so cute and the grip is soft. I rarely find mechanical pens which has those two points, so I like it. A diary is very cute, too. The other Sanrio goods I have are a bag, a carpet, and a ruler. I want to get more Sanrio goods.

This is Sanrio's official page. Let's click it!

My favorite High School Memory

When I was a high school student, I enjoyed the school trip. I was so happy that my roommates in the hotel were my best friends. I always had a wonderful time with them. We talked a lot, really laughed during the school trip and were on much better terms. I liked my best friends better after it. We went to ski during school trip. One of them sometimes did several funny actions then. The other friends and I laughed at them. In addition, we could find each interest thing newly. One of my best friends was usually smart, cute, and modest, but was good at playing a trick. The trick was so funny and made us laugh. The school trip was wonderful.

My favorite Clothing

My favorite clothing is the culottes. I bought them on sale at Page Boy in PARCO. I was happy to get them with less money. They are gray checked culottes. It's very cute. Culottes are comfortable for me to wear because they are like a skirt. Women can't wear a skirt when they ride a bike. However, they can wear cute or cool culottes even if they ride a bike. They can enjoy more fashion styles if they wear them. This is why I like culottes. I really like the culottes I bought last year. Their design is so nice. I can wear many clothes with them. They make me better. I often wear them all seasons. I wish I would get nice culottes.

Reflections on Writing III

It was hard for me to listen to listen to directions spoken in English, so I should have studied how to listen. It was hard for me to write essays and to think of what to write on my blog. I enjoyed writing it, but I should have written more sentences when I wrote a book review.  I could write many sentences on my blog when I wrote about my hobbies. I'll write a lot about it in Writing IV, too.

Many Students Move From Fukushima

According to Kumamoto Nichinichi Newspaper, 10 percent of elementary school students who come from Fukushima prefecture moved to the other prefectures. The reason is their parents worry about radiation. I guess that will promote aging in Fukushima prefecture. I hope the children who moved to other prefectures will back there after the worry about radiation disappear.

What Classes I Will Take

I will take 16 classes in the second semester. The number of them is more than that of classes I took in the first semester. The reason is I'll take Theory of Different Cultures Communication Ⅰand Ⅱ and Theory of English StudyⅠand Ⅱ. I'll take them because I want to know how to communicate with people who have different cultures and to know English more. In addition, I'll take the history of America instead of the history of British I took in the first semester. America is the country where I want to go, so I'll take the class more seriously. I'm looking forward to taking the classes.

Umigakikoeru

I watched the movie yesterday. The title is "Umigakikoeru." The movie was made by Hayao Miyazaki, but the book was made by Saeko Himuro. I had watched it once, but I didn't remember the story well. The movie was broadcasted on last Friday, so I recorded it then and watched yesterday. I could remember the story then. The main character loved the woman whose name was Rikako when he was a high school student. However, he didn't notice his love for her then. After several years, he looked back on his life he spent with her and noticed it. The story looks simple, but impressed, so I liked the movie. I want to watch it again. I also want to read the original and to compare it with the movie.
