2007-01-26T00:39:00.001+09:00

Yeah, you got to get going
No time for sitting down
Some people not knowing life is a cycle
You got to know how to get around
Woo!...hahh

Yes,you got to be strong
And be all the best you can
The world is out there, conquer your fears
And don't you wait too long

I like these lyrics, because it encourages me very much. When I challenge something, I remember those lyrics.

I enjoyed spending my winter vacation, because I could hang out with my friends, and meet with my friends in high school days after a long separation. We talked a lot, and that made me pleasantly. And also I could eat special meals for Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. Those made my stomach satisfy.

On December 31, I went to a countdown party with my friends, which held in Expo land. We went there at 5 o’clock, and started riding attractions. There were exciting attractions. We rode most of attractions in there. I enjoyed them, but I suffered from motion sickness. At 11 o’clock, we went to a stage where held a party. There were many people waiting a party. At 11:30 o’clock, one man entered the stage to living up, but his performances were not good. The party was boring for me. Just 10 seconds before 12 o’clock, we started countdown. Our tensions became max. Just became 12 o’clock, fireworks set off. We were excited, and said each others “Happy New Year!” I hope this year will become good time for me.

New Year's Eve
I had really good time on this new year's eve.Since last year, I've been wanted to go to the Kansai airport to see sun goes up. Last year, I went to Kyoto. It was good although my freinds told me that it was amazing to see sun rises from the mountain in the morning on New Year's day! And Kansai eirport is nice place to enjoy it because they have an observatory. So last year I was really looking foward to see it. Actually it was wonderful!! I really loved it. But I was little sad because I couldn't see the sunrise clearly because the weather was not so good, It was cloudy. And I went to there and been waited for long time before that. It was really really chiling outside at night so I got cold. But I was enjoyed it and I felt like I can make a fresh start! I want to go there next year too! Next year, I think I better wearing a more warm socks!

The most things I’m looking for is a New Year’s present. Its money, every year I can get money from my relatives, they give money me until I become 20years old. Now I’m 19 years old, so this year becomes last one, so I’m disappointed a little. I’m going to use this money carefully.

Xmas
　My first memory of Xmas was when I was 6 years old. On December 24, I couldn’t go to bed early because was excited. I believed Santa Claus coming tonight. When I woke up in the morning, there were presents beside my pillow. The present were a doll and doll house. I was so surprised because I hoped Santa Claus gave me these presents. I played with a doll every day. It becomes my treasure.
Year by year, the present became cheaper one. I remember the last present he gave me was letter set. Now Santa Claus doesn’t come to my house, but someday, I believe he come to my house again.

2006-12-09T20:38:00.000+09:00

When the night has come
And the land is dark,
And the moon is the only light we'll see.
No I won't be afraid,
Oh I won't be afraid,
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

So darlin' darlin' stand by me,
Oh stand by me,
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me.

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall,
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea.
I won't cry, I won't cry,
No I won't shed a tear,
Just as long as you stand, stand by me.

And darlin' darlin' stand by me,
Oh stand by me,
Whoa stand now, stand by me, stand by me.

Darlin' darlin' stand by me,
Oh stand by me,
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me.

Whenever you're in trouble just stand by me,
Oh stand by me,
Whoa stand now, oh stand, stand by me.

This is my favorite lyrics. A couple years ago, I saw the movie called 'stand by me' and I really impressed. It's very straight and direct lyrics so I undastood well. I think this lyrics could be for friend, boyfreind or girlfriend,and also family. I think this is relly cute lyrics and I always feel like this way.

How many boys be killed by fuckin wars. Every fuckin stupid, stop

straight. I love their songs. I hope everyone listen it and think about
the World peace.

BACKSTREET BOYS "The One"

I'll be the one. Who will make all your sorrows undone.　
I 'll be the right. When you feel like there's nowhere to run.
I 'll be th one. To hold you and make sure that you'll be alright.

At first, when I read lilic, I noticed this song is love song, but I think this lilic has many meanings. For example, I guess this lilic means about friends. When friend get depressed, I'll be the one to cheer up my friend, and I can give he or she some advices. I also guess this lilic means about family. The family have to help each other, and I'll be the one of the family.
I was interested in this lilic, because I can guess many meaning from this lilic.

I want to introduce my favorite person, Esper Ito. He is a Japanese comedian, his face was funny, and his actions are more fanny. For example, when he appears in front of the audiences, he hides into a small bag, and suddenly appears from this bag. He’s so stupid. After appeared, he started trying stupid things, for example, he tries eating some hotdogs, but they are not just hotdogs, they were putting a lot of mustard, so it’s so spicy, but he eats it with his face smiling, but he is crying. This sight is very funny and very stupid. I cannot stop laughing. If you don’t know Esper Ito, you should check him. I think he will become a very famous comedian in the world.

It was written by Momoko Sakura. She is a comic artiest too. She writes a very famous comic “Chibimarukotyan”. She is a versatile person. This book has short stories. All stories are about her real life. They are stupid stories, I couldn’t stop laughing, but I could learn a lesson from these stories. I learned how I enjoy living everyday. She writes that”If you feel, today is boring, you should take a walk, and go to a place where you never visited. Then you can find your new world.” I was impressed by this sentence. I noticed it is important to find enjoyable things by myself. If you feel happy, everything becomes happy. If you feel studying is enjoyable, it become enjoyable. So I started to think things positive, and enjoying my life. If you feel everyday is boring, you should read this book

~If the world were a village of 100 people Ⅱ~
Do you remember “if the world were a village of 100 people”? I’m a student in volunteer course and we use it as a text. This origins was “State of the Village Report”, written by Donella H.Meadows, and it was not 100 people. It was “If the world were a village of 1000 people”. She reported as a column in a American’s newspaper. One professor in Stanford University shifted from 1000people to 100 people, and mailed it his friends. It hover on an internet and many people added their thinking.
“Think global, act local”. I was taught it. The world is a big village. If one of your neighbors were nearly die, would you neglect? Long ago, we had lived helping each other. Now it has been missing. Please don’t think only yourself or your gains. Please look your surrounding and do something for them if they are worrying. It is important to helping each
other in the world.

Halloween
I heard when a Halloween party, there are many foods at the party, and there are some strange foods. I was interested in it, so I checked it out. First, I found “Eerie Eyeballs”. This picture is very strange. Can you guess what are they made from? They are made from gelatin and marshmallow. It sounds taste bad. I don’t want to eat it, but I think this recipe’s idea is great. Second, I found”Creepy Witches’ Fingers” This picture is strange too. It looks real fingers, but they are cookies. I was surprised when I know what they are made from. In Japan, we don’t usually have a Halloween party, so, someday, I want to do a Halloween party at my house, and make these strange foods. Rina

I like Halloween.
I'm just curious about how come pumpkin became a symbol of Halloween so I searched it on the Internet....A long time ago, the Irish people came to America and they found pumpkin was suitable for special lamp for its coulor & hardness. Before, they didn't have pumpkin in thier country, they used potatoes or turnipin instead of pumkin. I want to thank to Irish people who found it. In these days, a lots of pumpkin sweet everywhere in a shop. In Japan, there are not so many events involved in Halloween. So for me, Hallowee is the good event to enjoy eating sweet.

2006-10-27T10:58:00.000+09:00

Halloween is coming soon, but to tell you the truth, I don’t know Halloween so well. However I know that big pumpkin is used on Halloween day. When I was five years old, there was a big pumpkin which was same thing used by Halloween in the entrance of my house. I asked my grand mother why there was big pumpkin in my house, but now I forgot. Perhaps it was made in a field of my house. I want to know about Halloween more , and I want to know why a big pumpkin is used on Halloween day at this opportunity.

2006-10-27T10:57:00.000+09:00

"Halloween"
First when I heared Halloween I imaged pumpkin. Recently I saw pumpkin that have face look like ghost at the store. When I was a child my Anerican friend invited me to Halloween party. I wore the costume for witch and we visted many house. Then I said "Trick or treat!!!" that mean if you doesn't give me reward I will do mischief. I enjoyed with my friend and my first experience so I couldn't forget. If I have a chance I would like to go again.

movie - "The Goddather" - Yui

2006-10-20T20:40:00.000+09:00

Have you seen "The Goddather" in the summer vacation. "The Godfather" is one of the most famous movie about the mafia. Don Corleone is Godfather of one of the most powerful families in New York. His youngest son,Michael wants to distance himself from his families. He does'nt want to do any business that is fear and murder,but slowly he changes the most dangerous gangstar. I think the story is interesting. I want to watch the next story,"The Godfather" Yui

Movie - Shirumido-

2006-10-20T20:38:00.000+09:00

The movie I saw last was ゛Shirumido" which is Korean movie. I wasn't interested in Korean movie anyway,
I occasionally watched it on TV proglam.At first I'm not supposed to watch it seriously but the story attracted me.There's national boundaries between 2 countries which is named "板門店"(pann-mun-jhon). An army of each country there were getting along little by little and they became friends. But it wouldn't be good for each other. The last scene was so shocking.
I was so impressed and I could also learned about history between Korea & North Korea.

Movie - "Satoukibi batakeno uta" - Erina

2006-10-20T20:37:00.000+09:00

I saw "Satoukibi batakeno uta" 2 weeks ago. This movie shows one family in Japan at the World War 2. It's a heart-warming story. Leading actor is Akashiya Sanma who is a Japanese comedian. I think he is a top of Japanese comedian. I saw this movie 4 times and I wept at same scene. It's really good story. Please check it.

Movie - UDON - TAKANORI

2006-10-20T12:39:00.000+09:00

I went to watch the movie three weeks ago. The title is “UDON”. This movie is comedy and very funny. But I slept.I think that to make udon is very difficult. Udon is Japanese very popular food and very good taste.But I don't like udon very much.

Movie - "World trade center"-Mayuko

2006-10-20T10:34:00.000+09:00

In that time also many people tryed to help injured. In this movie the policeman try to rescue from the building. But at that time the building fell down . So the police men was buried under the building. They waited with thire partner .If you are interested in this movie, you should go to theater right now!!! Mayuko

Movie - Benny & Joon - Rina

2006-10-20T09:03:00.000+09:00

Benny & Joon
It is a heart warming and pretty movie. There are three main characters in this movie. Benny is a kindly man. Joon is Benny's younger sister and a little eccentric person. Sam is a young man who is a little eccentric person too. Jonny Depp acted Sam. The movie produced in 1993, so he was young and very handsome. The story is simple, Joon & Sam fall in love, but there are many problems between them. They have their original world, so their way of loving person is a little deiffrent from other people. It's very cute and I feel I want to advice to them. If you want to be heart warm, I recommend this movie. Rina

Last movie - Ryohei

2006-10-19T11:04:00.000+09:00

I watched 'Mr. and Mrs.Smith' in my home at last month. I thought that this movie is funny. This movie is two main person. One person is BRAD PITT,another is ANGELINA JOLIE. May be I think that they are big actor. At first they were marriage . they were very happy. But they had seacret thing.The thing that their bussiness is 'An assassin'. One day they start to fight by reason of their target person is same. I had never been watched the movie which hasband and wife kill each other. I thought that this movie is interesting idea.

Thailand and Manmar - Erina

2006-10-13T19:45:00.000+09:00

I went to Thailand and Manmar in this summer to study about volunteer
work. I will talk about it for 3 mounths.
~the first day~
It was my first trip to go to abroad. We went to Bangkok from Kansai airport. Arrived at Bangkok, many people were waiting their visitor. I was little surprsed at many foreigners. At night, we walked Pappon Street. Pappon Street is a district of bars or industry of sex. There were many signs of Japanese. They were made for Japanese or Westerner in age of rapid economic growth. I was shocked to heard that many young people in Thailand come to Bangkok and sell their body to make money. It made my feeling mixed.
My first trip opened.

Mt.Minno - Maiko

2006-10-13T19:43:00.000+09:00

On this Monday, I spent holiday walking in the Mt.Minno. Mt.Minno is famous for waterfall.In Autumn you can see vriety of beaufifulmaple. So autumn is the best season to go there. It's my favorite place. When I get tired or frustrated, I always go there because one of my friends told me that nature has a power to heal people. When I herad about that, I didin't believe it.
But now I reallized I feel comfortable when I see green & get a breath of fresh air at there.
I love it.

Grandparents's House - Rina

2006-10-13T19:42:00.000+09:00

I went to my grandparents's house on Wednesday to meet them. They are 72 years old,but high-spirited. Their smailing face are very warm. I love them. Another reason, why I went there was to try on Kimono. Now, I'm 19. I'll become 20 next year. I'll attend a coming- of age ceremony at the year after next. So I have to choice which Kimono I want to wear. At first, I tried on my mother's one. This picture shows it. I want to wear this Kimono for the ceremony,but it was too small to me. So I gave up
and try on another,but everything were too small to me. I can't buy Kimono because it is too expensive. It costs about three thousand hundred yen or more,so I have to rent a Kimono from Kimono rental shop. I was dissappointed on the day.

Hometown - Yui

I watch TV every day. I like it. Especially I often watch entertainment TV. Entertainment is very funny. What kind of TV program do you like? I think that TV is convenient thing. Becouse we get various information from TV which is as well as newspaper. May be everyone like TV. so we must be careful watch TV too much.

When I hear "Japan" I think of this word "Chopstick".
It is either of a pair of thin sticks that are used for eating with. It is difficult to use, but very useful.
There are many designs for chopstick. Some are beautiful and some are cute. Their aew not expensive, so it is just right for sourvenir. I think "Chopstick" is one of Japanese beautidul culture.

I prefer to spoon. which do you like chopsticks or spoon.

Japanese Style- Maiko

2006-10-07T18:09:00.000+09:00

In Japan, on new year's day, we get money called "Otodhidama" from our parents or relatives except one who already graduated from college or university. "Otoshidama" usually put a pouch which made for only for its purpose called "Potibuluro". Generally oldest one get more money than his or her younger brothers or sisters. Also parents who have children can get otoshidama from thier parents. In return sometimes they give it to parents thankful for. I think this is very interesting Japanese custom.

Japanese Style- Festivals- Yui

2006-10-07T18:08:00.000+09:00

A traditinal festival isheld every year in my home town.The members who join the festival are only chidlen.The members wear a splashed kimono and parson calling “Yabusame”shoot arrows at three marks. It's like a horseback archery,but instead of ride a horse children sit astride a bamboo horse which is head of horse made by bamboo in a point of a stick of bamboo.There are many kind of festival in japan,and Japanese festival is great.

I love Japanese food. Japanese food is very healthy. When I went to Thailand and Myanmar in this summer, I tried their foods. At first, I was aware that smell is different from Japanese food. When I put it into my mouse and smell enlarge in my mouse. It became my weak point. After all, Japanese food is easy to eat for me.
