Today's Lunch

I ate a korokke-pan for my lunch today. I bought it yeasterday at the new bakery near Nishikigaoka park. The name of the store is 'Lab'. I like breads from that store. They are very delicious and the shop lady who I met yesterday is very cute! When she was calculating, she told me with smiling, ' I think this korokke-pan will make you happy! I always feel happy after I eat it.' I just taught ' How cute she is!' to hear that. I think I'm in love with her. ha-ha. Her smiling was really cute. And it was really what she said. I felt happy after eating this korokke-pan.

QUESTION 5: experience with blogging this semester

I think now I'm better at writing in English than before. I'm not sure my grammar is corrected, but I think I can write in English what I want to write easily now. Blogging was very good training to me. It wasn't so easy to write a lot of posts and sentences for the first time. It sometimes annoyed me. Though now I'm enjoying blogging and I posted a lot of pictures on my posts this semester. It made me fun to post new things.

I've got pictures with Jin-sama

My dream came true on Tuesday! I finally took pictures with Jin-sama!!! Jin-sama is working at the wedding hall where I have a part-time job. I've been longed for him since last Spring. He is a very, very good-looking guy! Whenever I met him, I always taught 'He is really handsome!' Though, it wasn't often to meet him. He is a photographer for wedding, so he is always in the hall although my work place is a washing place. Actually, I had never talked with him until that day... Anyway, I have to quite the job for studying abroad, so I told Murakami-san (a full time worker who always takes care of me) that I want to take a picture with Jin-sama as my last favor! Then, it came true! It was the very happy moment when I was with Jin-sama, but I couldn't talk with him very much because I was too excited. I wanted to ask him why his hair is always so smooth and shining...

January 25

I drunk with people who had a Jeff's TOEFL class. Surprisingly, most of all members are going to study abroad! It was a party for Australia members because we will leave Japan soon. I got nice presents from them! It was fun to talk with them and drinking a lot! I like Jeff's bar's hot chocolate. The flavor of cinnamon is very good. I want to go to Jeff's bar again before I leave Japan, though it may be impossible because I'm too busy. I want to meet Yuuji-san again! I　want to eat Hanamaru-udon again!

these are presents
nice Japanese taste! →

January 18

I went to downtown with my friend yesterday. We looked around some shops and went to J-cafe to have a dinner. J-cafe is our favorite place in downtown. It's dark inside and has a good atmosphere. We can be relaxed whenever we are in there. We talked a lot there yesterday as usual. It's always fun to talk with her. She is very smart and knows me very well. We talked about our part-time job, future, memories of childhood, my unrequited love (ha-ha). We both were excited to talk, and didn't realized the time. Actually, we were there for 3 and half hours. It was a really good time. We enjoyed good drinks, food, and a conversation! I want to go there with her again!

January 17

Ryugaku-Kofu-Shiki was held on January 17 at the school. All members who will go to Oceania and Asia gathered at the main building. It was the first time for me to enter the building. The ceremony didn't take long time. Each of us got a imperative paper from a president. After that, professors asked each of us some questions. It took a little long time. ha-ha. The time all things finished was about 2 p.m. We all were very hungry, so I went to Ouchi-cafe with Honkawa-san and Momoko-san. I hadn't known that there is such a nice cafe near the university. It looks very cute and dishes are very delicious!

Coming of Age Day

We had a ceremony of Coming of Age on January 14. I left home at seven and went to downtown to prepare with my friend. After that, we went to the hall where we had a ceremony. There were a lot of people, so I couldn't find all people who I wanted to see. Though, I took many pictures. After the ceremony, I went to the wedding hall where we works with my friend. We took many pictures there, too. And also, we got a bottle of champagne!

My New Camera

I bought a new digital camera today. It's very easy to use. If I use the intelligence mode to take pictures, I can take pictures very beautifully. I want to use this camera and take a lot of pictures at Coming of Age Day!

TYPING 13

TYPING 13
I’m a second year student of KGU. My major is English. I like other countries cultures very much. I’ve been living in Kumamoto with my family for twenty years. My family members are my father and mother and my sister and I. My father and mother both have a job and like playing tennis. They go to play tennis together every weekend. They are very close. I and my sister don’t like playing sports very much. Also, we don’t have much free time on weekend. I have a part-time job and she has a school. My sister is three younger than me, and a high school student now. She is studying about business and computer skills. She wants to have a job after she graduate the school, so she studies hard every day. My part-time job is a dish washer at

How much did I spend?

Today, I calculated how much I spent during December and for New Year's big sale. I always write it on this note. My wasting is much less than before now. It's useful for me to write down how much I spent. I think I should have started it earlier. Anyway, I could see that I spent much more money in December than other months. It's because I went to drink more frequently this month, I think. And I spent about 45000 yen for the New Year's big sale. It's not that bad number, I think.

Hatsu-Uri in Kumamoto

I went to down town in Kumamoto with my sister on January 3. We looked around some stores but didn't buy anything special. There weren't anything we want to buy. That's because we already bought enough in Fukuoka and at Clear. We had a lunch at Hanamaru-Udon and came back to home quickly that day.

Htsu-Uri in Fukuoka

I went to Fukuoka on January 2 with my family. It is our family's tradition to go shopping on the new year day. We woke up at six thirty and took a bus at seven thirty. We reached in Fukuoka at nine fifteen. It was little earlier than we expected but it was OK because a department store opened at

nine thirty. There were a lot of people in line. I heard fro

m a TV news that there were more than 10000 people that time. We saw the great number of people anywhere in Fukuoka that day. We've got really tired but we had a good shopping. I bought many good clothes and bags!

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! It is the start of new year today. I'll start with new feeling this year. I'm going to spend the most of days of this year in Australia. I hope it will be a good year and I can have a good experience there!

Hatsu-Uri at Clear

I went to Diamond City Clear with my family this morning. My family loves a big sale. We are all looking forward to this season every year. It's very important to us.

There were a lot of people in Clear. We bought one fukubukuro at one of our favorite store. It was 10000 yen but there were a lot of nice clothes and a gift coupon in it! It was very reasonable! And I bought a green coat with half of price. It was good shopping to us.
