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 1-15: Sleeping Beauty

I had heard the title, "Sleeping Beauty," but I didn't know the story well. I wanted to know it, so I chose the book.

When I was reading it, I got a question. When Fairy Weed casted a bad spell on Princess Aurora, it said that Princess Aurora was going to prick her finger on a spinning wheel and die when she was sixteen. However, she didn't die but slept for a hundred years when she pricked it on it. I wonder that. When she fell asleep, Fairy Sunflower made all people in castle sleep because it thought Princess Aurora couldn't sleep alone for a hundred years. I guess the other reason why it didn't want her to be sad that all people in the castle died while she was sleeping when she awoke. In fact, people die and don't notice they died if they are sleeping for a hundred years. However, the book is a fantasy. The readers don't have to think of some difficult things. In the story, people don't grow older if they sleep, so Fairy Sunflower decided to make all people in the castle sleep so that they didn't grew older until Princess Aurora awoke.

I want you to read the book because it is a story with a happy ending. It also has beautiful pictures.

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.

BR 1-14: The Wizard of Oz

I had heard the title "The Wizard of Oz," so I wanted to know the story. This is why I chose this book.

After I read it, I thought it was a little hard to find out our good points by ourselves in spite of our having them. The book told me that. The lion in it wanted courage. It had already had it when it sought it.

I recommend you to read it because it takes you to a wonderful adventure.

BR 1-13: This is London

I chose this book because I wanted to know London.

After I read this book, I could know a lot of things on London. I wanted to go there more. I want to go on the London Eye. It looks fun. The number of places where I wanted to go in London increased. I felt London is a fantastic city because I knew that there were many beautiful buildings and good shops.

I want you to read the book because you can get information about London from it. It has a lot of picture. They're so nice. You'll think London is a fascinating city if you read the book.

BR 1-12: Walking on the Moon

I chose this book because I had not known what astronauts were doing in space well.

After I read the book, I knew that it took seven hours to get ready for walking on the moon for the first time. It's so long time.

I recommend you to read this book. It has a lot of pictures. You'll enjoy watching them. Of course, reading the book will widen your knowledge, too.

BR 1-11: Don Quixote

I chose this book because I knew my teacher of Spanish class was translating "Don Quixote." I wanted to know the story.

After I read this book, I thought the main character was a strange and funny person. Astonishingly, he read the books on knights too much and he wanted to be a knight. I want have nothing to do with such a person because he made his unique view of the world which other people couldn't understand. For example, he named a strange woman, and so on, so he was laughed at in the first half of the story. However, he had a lot of adventure, so I guess he enjoyed his life to the very end.

I recommend you to read this book because the story is fun. You'll liked it.
