Best presents

I like presents!
mainly presents l can get presents on the birthday, and christmas, and some special cerebration days.

i cannot remember all the things that i received, but what i came up with is hand made presents from my mother.

for my birthday, my mother prepares some handmades, mostky hair accesaries.
i think my mother makes my presents along with the trends.
so, i expect what she gives me sometimes.

i am happy to put the accesaries on my hair on the next day.
not only i but also my mother become happy with them.

however, my hair goods section in my room is becoming full!
i enjoy decorationg them, but i need to clean around the place!

my plan for winter vacation

First i will evjoy Christmas! Maybe i will make Christmas cake at home because i like creating some thing whatever to see, eat, ...
i want to spend my holiday on making somethig I imagine..which cannot be realised but it can be done in my pictures or crafts.

back to reality, i have to do parttime job!
i applied for one yesterday.
i don't know i can work there, but i hope i can find a good place to earn money!

i have no plan to travel, but my family and relatives get togher at granma's house on New years day.
and we have nabe, otoshidama, ...

i am afraid the winter vacation might not so long enough to do all the things.

becoming adult

when i was little, i was thinking that university students were already old enough to be said an adult.
but now i am a university student!
i don't feel i am an adult!
i became 19 last week.
i cannot believe i will be 20 next year.
when people become 20 years old, people treat them as adults.

so, i will be an adult next year according to my thought and laws in Japan.
the biggest change is tha i will have more responsibility in myself.
but i think it is something strange to be an adult from the day of my 20 birthday.
maybe i am changing an adult now, because i don't think i can change an adult in a day!

my eariest childhood memory

when i asked this qustion, i have always difficulty in telling real experiences from dreams and imagination.
because i can not make sure that my memoru is my experence.
some of them maybe are just stories that i heard from my family or saw pictures of that time.
and then maybe i made the image of th scene.

anyway, i have the scene at the time of Hanshin Awaji big earthquake.
my sister and i ere saying " where is here?"
the room were too dark in the early morning in the winter so that we just see our room.
we hold a flashlight together and ...

i guess this is not my memory but my sister's memory.
we are often asked "do you rmenber the earthquake?"
and i don't think i remember clearly, but my sister has possibly the memory and she told me the scene and shared the memory...?

so i think no one knows the earliest memory!

a country to visit

i am going to study in Canada next year.
there are some reason to choose this country.

i want to study political science, but in Japan i think it is a little difficult to understand the study because there is no such department.
(maybe a part od law..)
at first i thought "poitics is science?', but i knew that knowing the roots makes me easy to get the concept.
it was born and developed in western countries, so i believe learning in theirlanguages is more efficient.

for me, Canada sounds more peaceful...and easy to stay.
Canada is said to be much more safer than America!
there are many international students.
i can make friends from various countries.

i want to keep practicing skating too.
i hear that thereis a skate rink near he university!

but,,,
don't be so cold, please!

misperception betweem men and women

i haven't any complicated relationship with male yet, so i just write a trivial thing.
i heard what some boys care when they do somewhere with a girl.
for example, they try not to choose something sweet to eat or drink.
i don't know exactly, but i haven't thought of such a care!
even the boy loves chocolate cake, they try not to take it?
when they drink something, boys take a choice of coffee in stead of cocoa?
if there are boys who is making those efforts, i want them to choose sweet drink and dessert.
i think sweet thing is attractove everyone, and boys have the same rights to enjoy them as girls.
but i want to ask girls whether this idea is misperception by boys or me?
i am not sure how other girls feel about it.
boys should hesitate to have sweets before girls?
i want to rather enjoy it together!

i like fall.
what come to my mind first is my birthday!
actually my birthday is in the end of this season, my feeling gets exciting.
we have a lot of fun in fall.
for example, there are festivals.
culture, sports, halloween..
then we have wonderful food, especially something sweet.
i like the nature in fal, too.
we can see beautiful flowers and leaves in this season.
it is not too hot nor cold. we can enjoy fashion!

but one of the big factors taht excite me is the air, which gets clearer and colder...
and another exciting thing is waiting there***

analysing my type is difficult!
but i try this time.

i think i am a person of the hardworking type,
whichever the efforts are rewarded or not.
i am maybe taking trouble for others or me.
what i can do is doing more than others because i am not naturally gifted.

my favorite types of tastes are...
something sweet.
something warm.
something brown.
something fantastic.
someone enjoyable, like you!

japanese people are very much into comics and their games.
i am a person who never read comics.
i don't know why people are so sttracted to those stuffs.
but when i loking aroud, friends are lending or borrowing comics.
they say that the stories are very interesting.
i think it is the poower that those characters and the plots have.

moreover, people around me find it exciting to play those games,such as pocket monsters.
they really rise enthusiasm toward those stuff, and i think it a kind of addiction.
some of myfriends play games if they find time.
they really lokking forward to the time to play games!
many people agree teh idea that those games and comics are interesting.
i think what is remarcable in Japan is that noy only children but also older people, including university students and maybe the generation od our parents enjoys reading comics and playing game a lot.
now this trend is spreading all over the world, but i think Japan has been the hot place.

i think that bowing is japanese unique custom.
when we meet a person who we know, we cannot help bowing.
maybe japanese are shy, so people just bow to people without saying anything.
it is a useful way to show politeness.
if we want to thank someone, we sometimes just bow.
if we want to express that i am sorry, or ask to excuse me, we can do that just bowing.
some foreign people say that japanese bow too much, though.

on the contrary, i often see foreign people huggng each other.
when they take pictures, we can see those scenes often.
this behavior may be not easily acceprable for japanese at first.
foreign people like touching each other more than japanese.

these days, people have more and more communication with people in other countries so that diffent culture are mixing up.
i think japanese people will be used to see these different culture.
but i don't think bowing is a strange behavior for now.

2nd

thinking of big technology, transtportation is very important.
it maeks our life very convinient.
if it had not been for transportation technology,
it takes a lot of time to go anywhere and we cannot easily meet someone, go shopping trael, and so on.
i do not walk to school all the way from my house every day.
if it takes somuch time to go to school,
i would have very little time to relax, do homework, work and so on.
and everyday would be a tough day.
because of the transportation technology, our life goes smoothly!

but now i think we should consider the problems, such as environment.

i went to Naoshima, one of the islands in Shikoku.

This summer, the art festival was held there, so we visited outside art works.
my father and i walked a lot!

it was a hot day.
the ferry was comfortable!





My father and i also had a one day trip to Shiga.
first, we went to Hikone castle to see HIko-nyan!


Then, we went around Like Biwa on the train.
we walked to Amanomori Housyuu ann!
we didn't intend to walk a lot this time, but the way to this cultural place was very long.
we walked along the rice fileds, streams with carps, flowers and waterwheels, and under the strong sun shine.




The last memory in the summer vacation is training camp with my team members.

we stayed at Spa world.

Youth Summit

i really enjoyed 4 day camp!
i made new friends.
they were students of different universities.
we had lectures, presentations, discussions and so on.
everything was great!

jeux interdits


Ils ne jouent pas...?

i reset my blog time to Tokyo, and i will write what has been happening to me during this vacation days, whichever someone reads the page or not!
but i believe it is nice to share our experiences and feelings *´u｀

Oh, my hot summer vacation!
i enjoyed playing with water fountains.
pouring water! under the sun!
i had a mango ice cream paffe♪

i am very happy to be your friend, Jennifer;)

♪

Thank you,Kevin and my friends:) for the spring semester!

i feel this semester passed very fast!
everything was new and interesting.
i really found university life fascinating.
now i am little afraid the time in next half and three years might fly as fast as this semester.
i try to lead a subtencial life on campus.

i am going to participate an international summit for youth with my friend in the mid August.
Today, my father and i agreed to go to Shikoku for one day trip during summer vacation.
i hope i can make good memories.

#10

If i can go to Cnada as an exchange student next year, i want to bring Japanese soups like miso, powder of udon soup...
i will tell the delicious taste and how they make us hot when it is cold.
i will bring kairo, too! i hear that poeple in Canada don't use them!

Love has a lot of meanings.

I cannot say much about love between a man and a woman, but I think this is one of the most important things in human life. As we can love anyone irrevant of gender, I feel loving someone who has different sex is special. What is his love for a person must differs by the ages, life stages and so on. I believe that now, this age of us has especially a significant meaning! BUt, what can I do by knowinh this? Do you believe destined love?

I admire Walt Disney. He is a wonderful innovater.
I think he brought us countless enjoyable time.
His creation of entertaiment changed the people all over the world and still now we can enjoy his works in the Lands, movies, stores and our dayly lives.
He has an ambition to proceed education through entertaiment, so his commics and works teach us a lot of important things as we have fun.
I learned the how much imagination makes us pleasure. Also I knew that we can made dream come true even if it seems too big. The key is the spirit of pioneer!! I think his conribution to the world by spreading lots of dreams all ove rthe world I think he is one of the best people who have been making people happy over time.
I have been to Tokyo Disney Land three times. I hope I can visit the one in Florida some day soon.
"You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality."

＃6th
I want to tell you my favorite cafe. it is in ACTA on the second floor. it is not so big but we can enjoy many kinds of foods. the lunch menue is great! they offer us seasonal menues, so we can eat vegetales and fruits in season.
the sweets are nice, too. there are cake sets, some paffes, popcorns, sandwiches and so on.
it's a must to visit!

I went to a trip to Hiroshima last March with my friend.
i visited Miyajima and worshiped Itsukushima shrine

i went along the street with red firm pillars.

How beautiful and magnificent!

i really wantwd to visit here as one of the World Heritage Sites in Japan.

it was a really solemn scenery.

we climbed a mountain;MIyama, too.

after that, we enjoyed eating many kinds of momijimannjou! we could eat hot one, sweet one and so on. they were all delicious!

#4th topic My home Town

My home town is Nishinomiya. I was born here and i have moved three times within in this town, so this city is very familiar to me.

I really like here. I hear that Nishinomiya is one of the best cities in Japan!
What I love is that the safety, the convenience and ist atmosphere.

Nishinomiya is placed between Kobe and Osaka. It is a nice place to go to somewhere because of the useful transportation. It is not too riral or too urban.
Also, the landform around my house is plain so that we can use our bicycles effectively.
The city has been constructed after the big earthquake. New shopping malls have opened and many new buildings and parkes have been made. The securities has been improved too.
Besides, I prefer the place around which I live. I often use the city library, go shopping, run along a river, and so on. It is the perfect place to live in!

Topic 3##

I started to study politics and international society from this spring. Actually, I was not interestead in the politics. But now I think I need to know more about the systems of this world, so I have just decided to study international governance and so on. I do not nkow my clear figure in the future, or what I work for, but i want to be a person who live in this international society, keep up the changes of the world.
I am now just in the beginning of the university life, so I try to have oppotunities to meet various new things and people.

Topic 2##





I will tell you about my teacher in Junior high school.
For me, junior high school was the first place to have English classes ,as learning the writing, speaking, listening and reading skills.
When I was in the second grade, I met a nice English teacher and he was also my home room teacher. He always taught us English with smile, and i am sure I could improve my English with a lot of fun, and it leads to have more interest in it. But I think what the most influential one for my junior high school life was that his attitudes towards everyone and everything. He always did his best showing us sweat. Here is the especial one. He kept giving us a lot of journals named 'Taiju', which means a big tree, and every time he put a poem by a poet. Not only the poetry but also his many remarks, including encouragements for us and thanksfullness for us, made me feel positive to my life. He taught me to be more active and live in my own way. I knew that we don't have to hesitate to do different things from others or side with everyone but find our own ways to act with more creativity. Just believing myself , tryring as possible, and whatever the result isdoing my own best leads to something worthful for myself. I conclude that spirits makes today's myself.

Hi! This is ♪My first impression ♪

About two weeks have past since i enter Kagaku.
We have just decided what courses we are going to take this term.
I experienced classes as a university student and i felt that they are very different from the classes in which we studied so far.

As the first, they are so long!
and second, the faculties are taking !?!
we need to find what we must learn from their lectures by ourselves.
I knew how heavy my responsibilities are.
I am a forgettable person so i feel nervous and have some worries at all the time.

On the other hand, i was impressed because so many people are walking around the university. I think it's great to have many new friends, but too many people confused me so much!
Every day I am knowing new people, friends, teachers,,,,,so, some of them are not the same age with me!
I hope I can make good relationships with them.
How exciting tha university life is;)!

Happy open!

This is the first time for me to open my blog!
Wonderful and complicated!

Just try and enjoy it as much as possibe:)
