Good evening!!Yesterday, I went to the year-end party with my high school Karate club's seniors. 8 people, including me, attended the party. I met them after a long interval, so I was very happy.
First of all, we went to Watamnke(わたみん家) to drink some alcohol. One of the seniors had reservrd our seats many days ago. I drank too much there, though I can't hold much alcohol, so I soon felt sick. However, I could enjoy talking to seniors. I was glad to hear they had a fulfilling life. Some of them are still practicing Karate like me!! I want to practice it with them some day:)
After we drank, we went bowling. We fell into two groups and played bowl for two games. Seniors played bowls so well. They had strikes many times!! Finally, our group won the game and another team treated us to drinks. I was not good at playing it, but I could enjoy it a lot!!
After that, we went out to karaoke!! It was the end of the year, so most of karaoke were full to capacity. We looked for available room for a while and we could foud it at last. The room that we used was a party room, so it was spacious room and we could male our self at home. It was late at night and we had missed the last train, so we sang karaoke all through the night!! I sang many songs. Though I was so sleepy that I fell in asleep in the middle, I could spend a good time with them♪
Eventually, the whole party finished at 6 a.m. As soon as I came home, I fell asleep because I was tired. However, I was happy to see my seniors and had such a productive day with them:)
See you:-)

This is Kazuhiro.lol
He is now the third year of high school student, so he has to prepare for an entrance examination. He goes to a cram school, so he comes home late every day. He looked so busy theseday, but he is much smater than me. Fortunately, he was told that he would be able to pass the examination by his homeroom teacher. I was so relived when I heard taht.I hope he can pass the examination of his first-choice college in next March.
Takahiro is what is called otaku. He loves Japanese animation and comics!! He has a lot of CD and DVD of animation. When I heard it, I had a negative image to him, but he is good at drawing pictures. His dream is to be a cartoonist and he wants to study art at a university. He now goes to an art school every weekend besides a high school. He is trying so hard for his dream!! He has a clear vision of his dream. I admire his trying. I hope his dream comes ture someday ;)
Oh, I have to go now!!

otitis externa
Hello~:-) How are you doing?
This morning, I went to a hospital to see an otolaryngologist because my right external ear has been swollen these days. Today was the end of the year and the hospital was opened only before noon today, so it was very crowded. It took more than an hour to consult a doctor. Finally I could see a doctor at 12 o'clock, though I went there at 10:30. I was told that my diagnosis was otitis externa. I was surprised when I heard that because I didn't expected that my ear had disease!! I was put a medicine-soaked guaze by a doctor. He said that I should put it in all day. I can't hear well today... However, I was glad that I could detect my disease much earlier. I hope my ear gets well soon!!
After I saw a doctor, I had a lunch with my grandparents.
My grandmother made rice cakes!!
She pounded them all by herself.
She is so good at cooking:)
Every year, I go to her house and eat her rice cakes.
These rice cakes were made rice which were produced from Niigata, so they tasted good. Niigata is so famous of rice!! In Niigata, there are a lot of rice fields. Koshihikari, which is one of the most famous rice brand in Japan, is also produced from Niigata. Cooked Koshihikari is so tender and delicious!! While I was in Tokyo, I sometimes felt lonely bacause I couldn't eat this delicious rice. I want to enjoy my hometown's food during this winter vacation ;)

walking around with my dog
Hello~:-)
I got up at 2 p.m. this morning!! I slept quite a long time... I wanted to go to a hospital this morning because my right ear hurts these days :'( This might be because I cleaned my ears too often. One day, my right ear started to bleed and became swollen. Though the bleeding stopped now, it has still got swollen, so I go to a hospital as soon as possible.
Today, though I couln't see a doctor, I enjoyed walking around with my dog, Fluffy. I'm so happy to see her after a long time!! She remembered me, though she hadn't see me for a while. When she saw me, she started wagging her tail and jumped at me:) She is soooooo cute!! Her hair is so fluffy like her name. Today, I walked aroud my house about 30 minutes. Spending time with her is one of my blissful moments.
By the way, I'll have a drinking party with my high school Karate club's OB and OG tomorrow. A lot of members will attend the party and I will be able to see them after a long interval, so I'm looking forward it very much!! Ea ch member go to different university, so I want to know how they are doing these days. Anyway, I want to enjoy this drinking party♪
Bye★！

natto
Good evening:-)
This is yesterday's dinner.
I ate...
*corn salad
*natto rice
*boiling hamburger
*kimchee
My mother prepared these dishes for me!! It was so delicious♪ Boiling humburger was my mother's homemade meal<3 I was very surprised when I heard she cooked it with the leftovers. I was so impressed by her fabulous cooking. I love her dishes!! I want to learn how to cook well during this winter vacation.
By the way, natto is one of my favorite foods. Do you like it? Some of you might not because of its smell and tastes. When I was a junior high school student, I dislike natto because of this reason, but one day, I discovered it was so healthy food and delicious!! Natto is made of soy beans, which contain many kinds of nutrients, such as protein, so it is healthy food. Because of its nutrients, natto is said to prevent cancer! What a great food isn't it?! Moreover, eating natto is also good for losing weight!! It has a low calorie content. I always ate natto last year because I retired Karate club in last August and I couldn't have enough time to exercise. Thanks to natto, I could lose weight about 3 kilograms!! If you dislike natto, please challenge it just one time!! There are a lot of good points to eat natto ;)
I'm so sleepy...
I'll go to bed now.
Good night :-)

high school
Good evening:-)
Today, I went to my high school.
This is a picture of my high school entrance.
When I saw this entrance, I felt nostalgic.
I have a lot of memories of my high school.
I went to Karate training hall to participate a training of the club, but today was year-end cleaning day, so we had no training. How depressing! However, I decided to help their cleaning training hall. It was so dirty. The mold was grown on the wall. It was hard work for us to clean this mycotic wall. Rags that we used soon turned into black colors... We sweeped a floor and wiped a floor and wall with a damp rag. We also organized shelves. We've finished the whole cleaninig on 5 o'clock!! It was too hard work, but traning hall became more beautiful than before :) Though I couldn't practice Karate, I could see my high school's Karate club member after a long time, so I was happy. Next training will be held on 4th January, so I'll participate it. I'm looking forward to pacticing with them!!
After I visited my high school, I went to a depatment store. Today was the end of the year, so most of the shops in the department store started year-end sale. A lot of clothes or merchandise were in the sale and they were so cheap!! I found a cute white sweater. It was on sale at a half price and it looked so cute that I wanted to buy it, but when I tried it on, I realized it didn't fit me. It was too big for me to wear:'( I really wanted it, but I finally gave it up... I couldn't but anythig today. I didn't have enough time to look around shops because I was meeting my mother at the station, so I have to move there. Next time I go to shops, I want to buy some clothes!!
I had a great time, but I 'm so tired...
I'll go to bed earlier tonight :)

Today for sure I'm going to my highschool!! The training will start at 2 o'clock pm, so I'll start preparing for it. It is sunny today, but it is still cold today. Last night, it was a strong blizzard!! The wind was so strong. The noise of it was so loud that I was very scared. Bad weather like strong wind always affects transportation. When I was a high school student, train was often delayed by a heavy snow in winter and it always embarrassed me. Because of this delaying, I was always late for first period class. It is sunny and the wind isn't so strong that I don't have to be worried about delaying of train today :)
Oh, it's time to get ready!!
See you later~:-)

oden
Good afternoon:-)
I'd like to write about last night.
Last night, before I left Tokyo, I had a dinner with my boy friend and we cooked oden!!
This is the picture of last night's dinner!!
Isn't it looks so delicious?
I wanted to eat it for a long time because it is so cold these days. We put fish sausages, Japanese radishes, rice cakes, konnyaku, sea tangles, eggs and some kinds of beignets in a pan. It took quite a long time to boil them thoroughly, but they all tasted good. I was happy not to fail cooking it. We've had our fill of oden:) It made us full and warm us up!! I want to cook it again♪
And we watched the 2010 Japan Figure Skating Championships while we were eating dinner. I love to watch figure skating!! In women's figure skating, there was intense competition for the gold medal between Miki Ando and Mao Asada. Both of them did great skating!! Finally, Miki Ando won the first prize. I was happy because I am her fan. Her skill is so high!! I want to won her the next championship, too!!
After I watched it and ate all oden, I left Tokyo. Thanks to my boy friend, he went to the station to see me off. I felt little lonely because I couldn't see him for a while. But, we could call each other in free because we're using WILLCOM cell phone♪ I'll call him when I feel lonely :)
See you~★！

I'm home!!
Hello~:-)
I arrived at Niigata on 8 o'clock am. Niigata is much colder than Kanto area!! It was snowing and the snow piled up high. It was so cold, but I think that winter doesn't look like winter without snow. I don't like the cold place, but I love to see snow which fall in flakes.
I got on the train and went my home. My home is a little bit far from the center of Niigata city. My home town, Maki, is located in the end of Niigata city, so it takes about 40 minutes to go there by train or car. I took train in Niigata after a long time. Compared with Tokyo train, Odakyu or Keio in particular, it wasn't so crowded. There are sveral vacant seats, so I could sit. I was so tired that I fell asleep and about miss my stop.lol In Niigata, the number of train isn't so many. In my home town, Maki, train comes about every 40 minutes!! It is quit a lomg time, so I can't miss train!!! I don't want to wait the naxt train about 40 minutes in this cold weather.
When I arrived at my home, my mother warmly welcomed me at the door. She cooked me breakfast. It was so delicious. I ate her dishes for the first time in so long. After I ate it, I was planning to go to my highschool and practice karate, but I couldn't because I fell asleep. Sitting night bus for a long time makes me so tired that I slept about 4 or 5 hours. When I got up, the trainning was over. I'll go there tommorow!!
And this is a Chrismas present from my mother and father!!
It is chocolate crunch that they bought in Tokyo Disney resort.
I love chocolate, so I was very happy ;)
Thank you for my mom and dad!! I love them very much<333
See you♪

udon
Good afternoon♪♪
This is my today's lunch!!
I ate udon!!
I cooked lunch with what is on hand.
By the way, I'll rerurn to my hometown Niigata tonight. I'll take a night train in Shinjuku and leave there at 24 o'clock and arrive at Niigata at 8 o'clock. About 8 hours is quite a long time for me!! However, night bus' ticket is much cheaper than that of Shinkansen. I have to put up with this long time. Anyway, I'm happy to go home after a long time!!
When I arrive at Niigata, first, I'll go to my high school to participate a training of club activity. I belonged Karate club when I was a high school student. Last week, my junior of Karate club asked me to participate a training when I back to Niigata. I'm looking forward to seeing the club members!!
I'm looking forward to retuning to Niigata, but I have one thing that I'm worrying about... It is snow. In Niigata, we have a heavy snow every year. I heard that Niigata has a blizzard now!! It might be sooooooo cold there. And Snow always makes traffic, especialy train, paralyze. It always makes us trouble!! I dislike cold weather, though I'm from Niigata, a snowy district.lol

Spirited Away
The day before yesterday, I watched a movie, "Spirited Away". In Japanese it was called, "Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi(千と千尋のお神隠し)". It is so famous movie directed by Hayao Miyazaki and produced by Studio Ghibli.
The main character, Chihiro, is moving with her parents to a new town when they become lost and find what appears to be an abandoned amusement park. Chihiro's father decides to explore it while a reluctant Chihiro and her mother accompany him. They soon discover a stall with food, and Chihiro's parents sample the food, but find themselves unable to stop eating. Chihiro soon realizes that she's in a magical world when she sees her parents literally turn into pigs. Running to get help, Chihiro finds a boy, Haku, who smuggles her into a large bathhouse and tells her to find a job so she can stay there until he can help her recover her parents and escape. Haku also hints that he knew Chihiro when she was little. And she starts to worked at bathhouse and experiences many things there.
According to the encyclopedia, Wikipedia, "The film theme is dislocation and it follows a sullen ten-year-old girl who is in the process of moving to a new neighborhood with her family, leaving her old friends and school behind, and chronicles of her adventures in a world of spirits and monsters." Both Story and description is great!! This film is one of my favorite Ghibli film<333
And this is the theme song of the film, "Always with me(いつも何度でも)". This song is also good, so please listen it :)
On 7th January, this film will be broadcasted by Friday Loadshow(金曜ロードショー), so please check it!!
Bye :-)
Zou-no-Senaka
Hello~!!
Yesterday was Christmas:) I was planning to go to Tama-center for a date, but it was so cold that we decided to spend in his house. I cooked dinner for him after a long time!!
Last night's dishes are
*rice omelet
*stew
*potato salad
*chicken
I cooked a lot of dishes because it was Christmas;) My boyfriend seemed happy, so I was happy. However, I failed in making omelet's egg X( It was not the first time for me, so I was very shocked... I realized that the reason why I failed was the quantity of oil. Next time, I won't fail making it!!
After we ate dinner, we watched movie. The title of it was "Zou no Senaka"(象の背中). The main character of the story, Fujiyama, was an ordinary office worker who had a wife and two children, but one day, he was told he had a cancer by a doctor. The cancer was last stage and his remaining days were about half a year. When he heard it, he decided not to get medical procedures aimed at prolonging his life. He decided to spend his life just as usual until he died. During his fight against disease, he discovered the importance of family, especially his wife. He couldn't have enough time to think about his family because his work was so busy. Just before his death, he and his wife wrote letters to each other. In his letter, he said "You're the best wife for me. Would you marry me again if I am born again?" When I watched this scene, I was about to cry :'(
I found the animation version of the movie. This is tear-jerker, too.
Seeeee ya!!

Christmas present
Merry Christmas★！
Yesterday, after I had dinner, I received a Christmas present from my boyfriend :)
I received a knit hat with fur.
I wanted this kind of hat for a long time, so I was so happy!!
A ribbon trimmed with lace is on the hat, and it is also so cute<3
I'll wear this hat today's date♪
And this is a present that I gave it
to him.
It is a watch of CITIZEN.
I had decided to buy a watch for his Chrismas present for a long time. This was because I knew that he loves watches. It took a long time for me to choose good watch. I went many shops to find good present for him. Finally, I found this watch at a shop in Hachioji and decided to buy it. This watch is waterproof, and I thought the watch will go well with his suit, so I decided!! He looked happy when he received it, so I was very happy. I hope he will like this present...★
Today, I'll go Tama-center with him. I never been there before, but I've heard that the illunation in there was so beautiful. I want to see it, so I'm looking forward to going there!! If I take a picture of there, I'll put it on this blog, so don't miss it♪
Did you receive a present from Santa Claus this morning? I hope all of you have a great time today.
Seeeeeeeeeeee ya:-)

I'll wear this hat today's date♪
And this is a present that I gave it
to him.
It is a watch of CITIZEN.
I had decided to buy a watch for his Chrismas present for a long time. This was because I knew that he loves watches. It took a long time for me to choose good watch. I went many shops to find good present for him. Finally, I found this watch at a shop in Hachioji and decided to buy it. This watch is waterproof, and I thought the watch will go well with his suit, so I decided!! He looked happy when he received it, so I was very happy. I hope he will like this present...★
Today, I'll go Tama-center with him. I never been there before, but I've heard that the illunation in there was so beautiful. I want to see it, so I'm looking forward to going there!! If I take a picture of there, I'll put it on this blog, so don't miss it♪
Did you receive a present from Santa Claus this morning? I hope all of you have a great time today.

Christmas party
Merry Christmas :-)
We ate a Christmas cake for dessert.
It was a ice cream cake!!
We bought it at 31 ice cream shop in Hachioji, which opened recently. The cake is so cute, isn't it? Sponge cake of this cake was made by vanilla ice cream!! And Santa Claus which is on the cake was made by sugar candy!! Santa Claus was sooooo cute and he also tasted good.lol We couldn't eat the whole cake because it was big, so we would eat it in today's dinner.
I was full when I finished eating all dishes. However, they were so delicious and I could spend a good time with my boyfriend, so I was very happy!! In the next article, I'd like to write about a present that I received from Santa Claus.lol
See you~★！
Yesterday was Christmas eve, so I had a small Christmas party with my boyfriend!! We had a luxurious dinner last night. I bought chicken, cake, salad for it.
And we made pizza by ourselves!!
We put sliced onion, green pepper, salami, mixed vegetable and cheese on the pizza:)

All of them tasted so good!!
I was worried about pizza which I made, but it also tasted good, so I was relieved:)

my profile picture
Hello~:-)
I have changed the picture of my blog's profile!!
This is the picture of my dog. He is a Pekingese boy and he's name is Ru-!!! His birthday is 16th June 2009, so he is only 1 year old. My younger brother's friend gave him to my family. My family has already taken care of a dog and know how to feed dogs, so we gladly took in him and started to bring up him. He is still baby, so he is cheerful and full of curiosity. His behavior is so cute and sometimes intersting. Interestingly, he snore loudly as he sleep!lol I was very surprised when I heard it. It was like a human's snore!! Though his sore is little noisy, his sleeping face is very cute. I'll take his sleeping face when I return to my home.
By the way, my family is taking care of two dogs!! Another dog of my family is a toy-poodle named Fluffy. She came to my house 11 years ago, 20th June. I still remember that day. My parents bought her for my birthday present. We have known each other for more than ten years, so she is my best friend and precious family member:) I feel so lonely because I haven't seen her for a while... I can't wait to see her!! She is so cute dog though I don't have a picture of her. If I take her picture, I will put it on this blog, so please check it!!
Seeeeee ya♪
Essay for IE3 writing
Types of Movies
There are many movies in the world now. The history of movies is so long that many of them have been loved by many people around the world. According to the online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, the movie was born in the 19th century and has achieved great progress in the 20th century (2010). These days, there are a number of movies are being shown at theaters. Movies can be classified on the basis of their genre: romance, science fiction, and action.
The first category is romance movie. Some romance movies, such as “Titanic”, which was written and directed by James Cameron, have become known all around the world. Romance movies usually describe the importance of love in human life. “Titanic” describes two main characters, the man who is poor and the woman who belongs to the upper class. They met on the ship and fell in love. Though they were different in social standing and their love was met with strong opposition from most upper class people, they loved each other. After the ship sank, the man said to the woman, who was about to give up surviving, “You must promise me that you’ll survive. That you won’t give up no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless. Promise me now, Rose… and never let go of that promise.” (Titanic; James Cameron, 1997). We can see the great power of love and their strong bounds from this depiction.
Science fiction movie is the second type of movie which we often watch. “Back to the Future” and “The Terminator” are examples of it. Science fiction movies are often made by using SFX such as computer graphics. Most science fiction movies describe a world which is quite different from the real world using high quality video. For example, in “Back to the Future”, we can see the car which runs so fast and goes to the past. The scene that it goes to the past was also used high quality video. In the real world, we cannot see that kind of car. Therefore, science fiction movie gives people dreams for the future or something.
The final category is action movie. According to the online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, it stated, “Action movie is a film genre where one or more heroes is thrust into a series of challenges that require physical feats, extended fights and frenetic chases. Story and character development are generally secondary to explosions, fist fights, gunplay and car chases.” One of the most famous movies is “The James Bond series”. The actors’ dynamic actions usually make people get excited. Anyone can enjoy the actions, so the action movie is popular among people of all ages.
In conclusion, there are various kinds of movies in the world these days, and their themes and effects are completely different. We can learn many things from each movie. People’s favorites of movies are also vary among individuals, so It is useful to divide movies into categories in order to find movies more easily.

last weekend
Hello~:-)
Last Satuday and Sunday, I went to Sagamihara for a part-time job.
I worked at an electric appliance shop and advertized new style cell phone.
My microphone performance became much better than before. The director and the staff praised me for my performance:) I think, I could do my best. I have already got used to my new part-time job.
And fortunately this job's wages is so high!! A daily wages of the job is 10,000!!!! In this month, I earn more than 40,000 yen a month though I worked only five times. I'm satisfied with my job, however, I have only one thing that I'm dissatisfied. Promotion girls often work at outside, so in winter, it is very cold after getting dark. Yesterday, I felt I was about to death because of cold temperature.lol
Anyway, I'll continue this job because of a high daily wages. I have to have patience with cold temperature...
Seeeeee ya★！

Book Report for IE3
Book report
11310010
Yurika Arita
Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights, England Oxford University press, 104 pages,1801.
Responding to the Plot: (e) Which incident in this novel did you find wonderful, surprising, comical, or even shocking?
I was very shocked when I read the part that Catherine told Nelly that she wished to marry Edgar Linton, as it would give her status and riches; despite her love for Heathcliff. She had spent much time with Heathcliff, so she loves him more than Edgar, but Heathcliff was an orphan and he wasn’t rich enough. At last, she married Edgar and this gave Heathcliff a very big shock and he left Wuthering Heights. I couldn’t understand why she married another man for her status and riches despite having a lover. When I was reading this part, I thought Heathcliff was so poor.
Literary Analysis:
(1) Setting: England
(2) Conflict: Heathcliff was in conflict with other people who had punished him such as Edgar and Hindley. He was punished because he was a dirty orphan. So, he started to revenge them after he left Wuthering Heights.
(3) Point of view: This story is told in third person. Nelly Dean, the housekeeper of Wuthering Heights, saw the whole story of Wuthering Heights and told this story.
(4) Climax: After Heathcliff got his revenge, he seemed to suffer a mental breakdown and began to see Catherine’s ghost. He seemingly abandoned his life-long vendetta and dies. Nelly, the house keeper of Wuthering Heights, found Heathcliff lying on the bed, stiff with rigor mortis. He was buried next to Catherine in the grave yard, and his long vengeful story was finished. After his death, Cathy and Hareton inherited Wuthering Heights and planed their wedding. This is the climax of the story.
(5) Symbol: Heathcliff’s vengeful spirit is the symbol of this story. He had been punished by Edgar and Hindley for a long time and his lover Catherine married Edgar. These big shock made his vengeful spirit big.
(6) Irony: The irony of this story is when Heathcliff started to live Wuthering Heights with Cathy and Hareton. Cathy was Catherine’s daughter and Hareton was Hindley’s son, so he tried to revenge them too, but their relationship was like his relationship with Catherine. It seemed the history was repeating. So, he couldn’t revenge them and he died soon after that.
(7) Theme: I think that the theme of this book is the love of difference in social standing. Heathcliff and Catherine loved each other, but Hindley disagreed with their love and started to punish Heathcliff. And Catherine married Edgar for her status and wealth. The author expressed complicated human feeling about society in those days describing Heatfcliff’s revenge against them.
Reflecting on the story: (b) How does the environment of in the story compare to that in your own country?
I live in Kanagawa prefecture, one of the surplus population cities in Japan. There are many tall buildings and little nature. Compared with Kanagawa prefecture, this book setting “Wuthering Heights” has a lot of nature. Their home Wuthering Heights was in a wide plain. This book’s theme is Heathcliff’s revenge, but it also describes Yorkshire’s climate and beautiful nature. This book includes Gothic style well.

Japan Cup Championship

self-hatred
Good evening.
These days, I was so depressed because of my fault.
I was backed my essay in IE Writing class on last Monday. We had to write final essay referring essay which was checked by the next class. And I also got Hisataka's one becaause he was absent. I wanted to passed it to him on Tuesday, but in the next day, I found that I lost them!! I was very shocked when I know that. I looked for them in the student center and all class room which I used, but I couldn't find them. It's all my fault. I mailed Mr.Anderson, and he said it was okay, but I was so sorry for Hisataka, and I cried all day...:'( I should be more careful about putting things in oeder. I don't want to do such a mistake which gives other people trouble from now on. I really feel sorry...
Though I'm still in self-hatred, I cooked dinner on Wednesday.
I made spaghetti~♪
Cooking spaghetti was so easy that I could make it in a few minute:)
The seasoning of this spaghetti are soy sause, mayonnaise and wasabi!!
You might think that wasabi doesn't match spaghetti, but it tasted so good in practice:)

I used sweet potato and carrot as ingredients.
I love sweet potato☆
But, I didn't boiled them enough, so they were a little hard...
In this winter vacation, I'm planning to learn cooking from my grandmother. I have many chances to cook, such as the New Year's Eve and the New Year. On these days, I have meals with my whole family. My grandmother and mother always prepare for them, so I want to help them this year. I'm looking forward to having a meal with my family.

tired
Good evening!! How are you doing these days?
I couldn't write the blog for a while because I had a lot of things to do recently. I was so busy, especially in this weekend.
In this weekend, I worked at the cell phone shop in Shonandai because of the part-time job.
This is the DOCOMO shop in Shonanndai!
I announced about the new style cell phone, N01C and N02C, which was made by NEC.
That was the first time for me to work at there, so I was very nervous. Actually, I had a lot of mistakes in the fist day of the part-time job. My announcement of the new style cell phone wasn't so good. My knowledge of the cell phone was poor, so I didin't know what I had to announce. I also didin't know how to attend customers. I might have frastrated my colleagues and I felt very sorry for them after I finished the job of the first day.
But, thank you for my collegues' supports, I was able to do my job much better in the second day. My collegues taught me how to announce and to attend to customers. That made my ability improve!! I was able to make an announce more fluently! And my ability of attending to customers also became better!! I was so happy when the customer said that my explanation of cell phone was easy to understand.
Two days of job was hard for me. I was so tired. However, I could learned many things in those days. I want to make full use of this experience. Though the job is hard work, I'll do my best and nver give up.

Kazumasa Oda
Good evening!
I've finished things that I had to do a little while ago♪ I'm so relieved now. I'll go to bed after I write this article. I have to keep blogging everyday to raise my grade much higher.lol
By the way, do you know Kazumasa Oda?
He is a famous Japanese singer. He is also known as the leader of the folk rock band, Off Course.
As a vocalist and leader of Off Course, Oda wrote many Japanese standard numbers in the 70s and 80s. In 1985, he began to work as a solo musician.
He produced many hit songs, such as "Little Tokyo" (1989), "Itsuka Dokokade" (1992), "Tsutaetai Koto ga Arunda" (1997) and "Kirakira" (2002).
I love his songs. Most of his songs are written about Love, and I love those songs' words. His voice is also beautiful, and I was fascinated by his voice.
He has a lot of great love songs besides this song! Please check them, too ;)
Good night:-)

Wednesday
Good evening!! I stay up late thesedays. I know it is not good for my health. Staying up late also makes my skin chas. I'll go to bed as soon as I write this article.
Yesterday was Wednesday, so I didn't have any classes. I always sleep until noon in Wednesday, but I got up early that morning because I had to go to chapel to attend morning service. In the Introduction to Christanity class, we have to submit the report of the service. In the report, we write the outline of the sermon and our impressions of it. The report is one of the most important data of our grades, so we have to attend it as many as we can. It was hard for me to get up earlier than usual, but I got up and attend it for my latter grade.
Though I am not a Cristian, I can learn many things in the sermon. Moreover, this week is STUDENT WEEK, so Christian student gived us sermon instead of a clerｇyman yesterday. The student who gived us sermon was same age as we were, so we could understand their thought and opininon much easier.
After the service, I went to a supermarket to buy my lunch and some daily necessities, such as toilet paper or toothbrushes. I bought my lunch, too. I'm on a diet now, so I bought a large salad. I have to eat much vegetables to take more nourishment...
I also did cleaning my room, studying for reading class a little bit, taking a nup. After then, I went to Waseda university to participate the practice of club activity. I couldn't participate it for a while, so I was happy to go the club yesterday. There were few people in the practice, because yesterday was voluntary training day. Though the practice wasn't so hard, but I had a good time with the club members :) I could lead full time, however, I hurted my feet because I hadn't practice karate for a while. I got a blood blister on my left foot :'( I hope it will be better soon.
I am tired now because I did a lot of things yesterday. I might be able to sleep well tonight.
See you♪♪
Yesterday was Wednesday, so I didn't have any classes. I always sleep until noon in Wednesday, but I got up early that morning because I had to go to chapel to attend morning service. In the Introduction to Christanity class, we have to submit the report of the service. In the report, we write the outline of the sermon and our impressions of it. The report is one of the most important data of our grades, so we have to attend it as many as we can. It was hard for me to get up earlier than usual, but I got up and attend it for my latter grade.
Though I am not a Cristian, I can learn many things in the sermon. Moreover, this week is STUDENT WEEK, so Christian student gived us sermon instead of a clerｇyman yesterday. The student who gived us sermon was same age as we were, so we could understand their thought and opininon much easier.
After the service, I went to a supermarket to buy my lunch and some daily necessities, such as toilet paper or toothbrushes. I bought my lunch, too. I'm on a diet now, so I bought a large salad. I have to eat much vegetables to take more nourishment...
I also did cleaning my room, studying for reading class a little bit, taking a nup. After then, I went to Waseda university to participate the practice of club activity. I couldn't participate it for a while, so I was happy to go the club yesterday. There were few people in the practice, because yesterday was voluntary training day. Though the practice wasn't so hard, but I had a good time with the club members :) I could lead full time, however, I hurted my feet because I hadn't practice karate for a while. I got a blood blister on my left foot :'( I hope it will be better soon.

reservation
Yeah!! I made a reservation of the bus for retuning to my hometown tonight :)
I'll go back to Niigata on the night of December 26th. I'll take a night bus. The bus will leave for Niigata at 12 o'clok and arrive at 8 o'clock. I have to sleep in the bus for about 8 hours at the night. Sleeping in the bus always makes me so tired, but the night bus is usually cheaper than the bus which move in the noon. I have no money, so I reserved night bus. The one way fare to Niigata was only 2500 yen!! It was so cheap that I can save much money!! I'll pay the fare of it at the convenience store tomorrow.
If you didin't reserve the ticket to return to your hometown, you had better to get it soon! Many people want to go home in this season, so tickets are sold rapidly. Check it right now, or you can't go home!!
Good night:-)

Keisuke Kuwata
Good evening.
Today, I'd like to introduce one of my favorite artists.
The name of the artist is Keisuke Kuwata, Japanese famous singer.
Keisuke Kuwata is famous as a Japanese singer-songwriter, and leader of the Southern All Stars, as well as his own solo band, the Kuwata band. He has lent a significant amount of his time scoring music to film. And he went to Aoyama Gakuinn University, though he didin't graduate.
Kuwata can play guitar, bass, dums and keyboards. For one album, Suteki Na Mirai Wo Mite Hoshii (素敵な未来を見て欲しい), Kuwata played every musical instrument and recorded the entire album by himself!!
I love his songs :) Most of his song is so cool, though the words of his songs are sometimes erotic. This video clip is one of his songs, "Will it Be Sunny Tomorrow?(明日晴れるかな)". The song was used as a theme song of the drama, "Operation Love(プロポーズ大作戦)". The series started on April 16, 2007 and ended with 11 episodes on June 24, 2007. A special (SP) aired on March 25, 2008. I love that drama and I watched it every week♪ The song is great, so please watch it!!
If you are interested in his songs, please check other of his songs, too!!

study and training
Hello~:-)
Last Sunday, the next day of X'mas party, I went to Shibuya to attend the training of the part-time job. The office of the company which I'm working is in the 30th floor of the building!! The view from the 30th floor is so great!! I could see Tokyo Tower, Sky Tree, the street of Shibuya and so on. When I saw that view, I reconfirmed Tokyo was noe of the biggest city in the world.
The training was continued 13 o'clock to 19 o'clock. It was pretty long time. As I mentioned it before, my job is promotion girl who announces new style cell phones, so I have to learned many things about cell phone! I'm using AU cell phone, but I cramed huge knowledge of DOCOMO one that day. It was too difficult for me to understand because I didn't use that career cell phone. Though the studying about the DOCOMO cell phone was hard, the staff who taught me was so kind that I could study and learn it smoothly.
I also did the practice of announcement using microphone. Promotion girl should annouce in loud and clear voice. So, practicing announcement was so important. In that practice, I could do well:) I was praised by the stuff!! She said that the volume of my voice and my smile was pretty good. I was sooooooo happy to hear that :)
I've finished whole trainning, so in this weekend, I will work at a cell phone shop or an electric appliance shope. I'm little nervous whether I can do well like trainning, but I'll do my best!! If you are planning to buy consumer electronics or something, please come to the shop which I'm working.lol

Essay for IE3 Writing(second draft)
Types of Movies
There are many movies in the world now. The history of movies is so long that many of them have been loved by many people around the world. According to the online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, the movie was born in the 19th century and has achieved great progress in the 20th century (2010). These days, there are a number of movies are being shown at theaters. Movies can be classified on the basis of their genre: romance, science fiction, and action.
The first category is romance movie. Some romance movies, such as “Titanic”, which was written and directed by James Cameron, have become known all around the world. Romance movies usually describe the importance of love in human life. “Titanic” describes two main characters, the man who is poor and the woman who belongs to the upper class. They met on the ship and fell in love. Though they were different in social standing and their love was met with strong opposition from most upper class people, they loved each other. After the ship sank, the man said to the woman, who was about to give up surviving, “You must promise me that you’ll survive. That you won’t give up no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless. Promise me now, Rose… and never let go of that promise.” (Titanic; James Cameron, 1997). We can see the great power of love and their strong bounds from this depiction.
Science fiction movie is the second type of movie which we often watch. “Back to the Future” and “The Terminator” are examples of it. Science fiction movies are often made by using SFX such as computer graphics. Most science fiction movies describe a world which is quite different from the real world using high quality video, so they give people dreams for the future or something.
The final category is action movie. According to the online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, it stated, “Action movie is a film genre where one or more heroes is thrust into a series of challenges that require physical feats, extended fights and frenetic chases. Story and character development are generally secondary to explosions, fist fights, gunplay and car chases.” One of the most famous movies is “The James Bond series”.

heavy rain
Good evening!!
Yesterday, we had a heavy rain. Because of it, transport facilities was obstracted, and many train lines were delayed. I don't use train to go to unuversity because I live in Fuchinobe, near the university. So, I could be in time for first period class, but there were only three people in the classroom at 9 o'clock!! I was very surprised. At last, the class was canceled beause of the number of the student.
The students who used train would be hard to come to school yesterday. Many students said that there were a lot of people in the station waiting for next train. And what was worse, train drived in slow speed. I thought I was lucky living near the university. I dislike a packed train!!! It's sooooooo muggy!
Good night:-)

shopping in Machida
Good evening!
The day before yesterday, I went to shopping in Machida to buy some party goods for today's X'mas party. I went to JORNA, one of the biggest departmentstore in Machida, and fortunately I could buy what I wanted :) I bought a bolero, a purse and a hairband.
These are a bolero and a dress which I will wear today.
Bolero was only 2500yen!!
Though it was so cheap, it was so warm and cute.
I'm happy to be able to buy bolero in such cheap price.
And these are a purse and a hairband that I bought!
The price of the puse was 1575yen, and the price of the hairband was 1000yen!!
The total price of my shopping cost less that 5000yen♪♪ In this month, I have to save my money for X'mas, so I had a successful shopping trip that day ;)
The X'mas party of my dormitory arrived at last. Yesterday, after classes, we had a rehearsal for it in the university chapel. We practiced how to enter the ceremony. We also had a singing practice. The rehearsal took more than 2 hours, and I was so tired. But, the whole practice for the party was finished!!! I don't have to sing songs until late at night any more!!!! In today's party, I'll do my best :)
