My favorite vacation trip

I have a lot of favorite vacation memories. I'll introduce one of them. I traveled to Nagasaki with my friends during the summer vacation last year. We had known each other when we were high school students. We had stayed in the same room during the high school trip. We had become close then. We went to Huistenbosch last year. We enjoyed a lot there like the high school trip. I was glad that we were so close for a long time. The next day, we went to Fukuoka and enjoy shopping. Two of the friends had lived in Fukuoka, so they guided me and the other friends. I found my favorite shops having a lot of cute clothes, so I was very happy. I had a very good time. I wanted to travel with the friends again. I'm thinking of places where we'll go.

My favorite movie

I have several favorite movies. One is the series of Harry Potter. They're exciting. I also like the books of the series, so I wanted to watch the movies. Two is "Umigakikoeru." It's made by Hayao Miyazaki. It's the story of youthfulness. It's not so exciting but a little quiet. However, it impressed me. The main character noticed that he loved his friend a few years later. I remember well the scene of his missing her. The movie finishes when he saw her again in the platform, so we can't know what happen to them. We must imagine that. I wish they would talk a lot and become closer. Three is "Koizora." It's a love movie that I watched for the first time. In addition, I watched a movie with my boyfriend for the first time when I watched "Koizora." We watched it on Christmas, so it reminds me of a romantic mood. I have a good memory in the movie.

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 color

I like pink better than any other color because it's cute. I have a lot of pink things. For example, they're my wallet, notebook, walkman, earphone, electric dictionary, bags, cell phone, the carpet of my room and so on. I always choose a pink thing when I buy something. I also have pink clothes. I often wear them and shoes with the pink line and the pink shoelace even when I do my part-time job. I'm happy when I'm said "You suit them." In addition, I also choose pink ones when I buy a rouge or eye shadow. My choosing pink things is one of my habits. I wish there were more them in my room. However, I can't realize that because it's a mess. So, I would gather a lot of pink furniture if I moved to a new house alone.

BR 2-01: Barack Obama

I wanted to know why Barack Obama could be a president. I guessed I would know the reason if I knew his character or career, so I chose this book.

I could know him more after I read the book. He had various experience. He has lived in some countries. He studied in some universities. The action is great! I admire his spirit of inquiry. In addition, he is considerate. I think he is a great person.

I recommend you to read the book because it will stimulate you.

My Ideal Tea Party

Most of the people who like wearing Lolita fashion like a tea party. They enjoy talking and drinking some cup of tea. They or companies of Lolita fashion sometimes hold it. A brand of Lolita fashion is planning a tea party on October 14 now. I want to join it, but I can't do it because I don't have enough money. That's why I can't hold a tea party, too. I have some friends who like Lolita fashion and get along with me, but they don't have clothes for it and don't wear it. Of course, it is happy for me to have friends who like it, but I want to make friends who wear it. Therefore, I try to think of my ideal tea party. I enjoy the imagination only now. Let's enjoy it together!

First of all, I think of a place where the tea party is held. I want to hold it in a building like Chourakukan. Chourakukan is in Kyoto. It is so beautiful and has a quiet atmosphere. It is very suitable for the tea party for people who wear Lolita fashion. There are comfortable chairs and a beautiful chandelier.

Then, I think of events in the tea party. After participants introduce themselves simply, they have wonderful lunch, talking. That's a great way to make friends who like wearing Lolita fashion. They also enjoy the time for taking pictures. They can get fantastic pictures if the buildings are as beautiful as Chourakukan.

Finally, I want to take 'purikura' after participants and I go out of a beautiful building where the tea party is held. I want so cute prikura. It'll be special for me because I have never taken purikura with my friends when I wear Lolita fashion. I want to take it.

It was hard for me to think of the plan for the tea party. I don't know if there are buildings or restaurants like Chourakukan in Kumamoto. It is good that a tea party for people who like Lolita fashion is held in some hotels in Kumamoto, but I guess that's lackadaisical. I need to search how hotels are in Kumamoto.

BR 1-03: Princess Diana

I learned the Royal family in the class of the history of British and I wanted to learn more someone of it, so I chose this book.

After I finished reading it, I thought Princess Diana was a great person. I felt she was very kind because I learned that she helped the poor, the aged, people with AIDS. She was loved by a lot of people, but she divorced Prince Charles, was run after by many photographers, and died because of them, so I wonder whether she thought her life happy or not.

I hope that you'll read the book because I want you to know the wonderful jobs by Diana and I want to know that what you think of Diana's life.

BR 1-01: A Girl Named Helen Keller

I chose this book because I wanted to know stories of famous people. Then, I came across it.

The book was written about that so simply, so I want to know Helen Keller more. The book is good for knowing her simply. By the way, I thought Miss Sullivan was a great person because she changed the girl Helen who was so wild and she often became angry. I thought it was good for her to meet Miss Sullivan.

I recommend you to read this book because I think that it'll let you know what important thing is and tell you Helen's back ground.
