Coming-of-age Ceremony

2006-01-09T08:25:00.000-08:00

On Monday, January 9th, most of us had a coming-of-age ceremony.

I got up at 6 o’clock for my dressing up (^^;)
A beautician also looks sleepy (^^;)

I want to say my gratitude to all my surrounding people.
My parents, relatives, friends, of course beautician, helper for my dressing up, and so on.

Thanks to everyone’s efforts, I spent the time very wonderfully☆☆

I’m very happy to meet so many friends☆☆

One of my friend in elementary school became mother!!!
On the other hand, I could get address of my friends who are missing.

It is pity to move back to Tokyo on that day.

I can work hard since this moving back to Hiroshima is very fruitful☆

Atomic Bomb Dome

2006-01-09T08:24:00.000-08:00

On 7th, my relatives and I went to Atomic Bomb Dome.

It is worth visiting many times because it makes us think about war and peace.

This time, we went to new building which stores list of the war dead.
It is a solemn atmosphere…

The explanation is translated in English, Chinese, and Korean as well as Japanese.
Such a many translation narratives that people all over the world come here.

Because of my involvement of international exchanging circle, I think it is likely to very interesting when the whole member visit Hiroshima.

Anyway, my grandma shed tears when she was out of this building.
Maybe, this is because she experienced the war time even if she was not in Hiroshima.

I recommend you to visit one time.

Miyajima

2006-01-09T08:23:00.000-08:00

On January 5th, my Grandma and cousin in Shizuoka came to Hiroshima. It has been almost 5 years they had travel here. We made an overnight trip to Miyajima

My cousin and I went to Miyajima aquarium, Itsukushima shrine with my brother.

Sunameri, a kind of dolphin, is so cute♪♪

When I stopped to see them, one of them came to smile me about 15 seconds!!!
In addition, when I pretended to kiss him or her, it seemed to kiss back!!
I can’t express this moving emotion, but I was very glad☆☆

A seal, Azarashi, was attached to my brother.
How cute they are☆☆

I think it is good to have tourist attraction in my hometown.

Spending two days, we went to see the shrine, Mount Misen by ropeway.
Moreover, I’m happy to spend such a wonderful time with my relatives.

I love my relatives☆

Preparation for Coming-of-age Ceremony

2006-01-09T08:22:00.000-08:00

On January 2nd, I took pictures for coming-of-age ceremony.

Though it was so hard to wear and sit down, I love kimono☆☆

It took about one and a half hour to have myself make up and wear. I was surprised my change from non make-up face to make-up.

For some of photos, I have to sit down on chairs. Whenever I forced, I have difficulty to breath ( ^^;)

However, after taking it, when we went out light dinner in kimono, every passer-by looked at my kimono. It make me feel good☆☆

Then we visited Grandparents’ house again. Both of them were delighted to see my kimono, which Grandma bought for me the year before last.

I’m looking forward to wearing it again on coming-of-age ceremony and seeing myfriends♪♪

New Years Day

2006-01-09T08:20:00.000-08:00

On new years day, since we went to bed at 3:00, we got up in the afternoon (^^;)

My family ate Osechi Mommy made♪♪
I respect her for her delicious cooking☆☆
I want to be mother like her…←It is secret to say so about her(^_<) About 2:00, we visited grandparents for greeting. I received New Year’s gift♪♪
Since I got summer’s money from Grandpa, I want to buy brand bag, cloth, cosmetic and so on☆☆

I’ve got mail from my friend and SHE GAVE BIRTH TO TWIN BABIS ON NEW YEAR DAY!!!!! I was so~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ happy to hear that!!!

I want babies…

This year must be auspicious☆☆

Happy New Year☆☆

2006-01-09T08:19:00.000-08:00

A new year begin☆☆
My year’s goal is to be on a diet!!! I have to get lose my weight for dancing♪♪

On Sunday, January 1st, after the year-end party, in midnight, daddy and I pay our first visit of the year to a temple and Shinto Shrines near my house with some of daddy’s friends.

A bonze was my daddy’s classmate in elementary school and his child was also my classmate in elementary school!! It’s miracle, isn’t it?!

Anyway, I pray for everybody’s happiness☆☆
Then I consulted an oracle, ”omikuji”, and it was “kiti”

Not so bad☆

It was 1:30 when we went home, and at 3:00, we went to bed.

I will write about the New Years Day more on next article☆

New Year's Eve

2006-01-09T08:17:00.000-08:00

On New Year’s Eve, our family invites some father’s friends in his company to a home party as is customary. This year, unexpectedly, a lot of people gathered.

After a long interval, I met Daddy’s distant relative who lives in Hawaii, managing some companies.

His hobby is to go hunting in Alaska! He told us he have caught lions, elephants and so on. UNBEALIBABLE!!!!
He also likes cooking He made us some dinner of American style. It was super delicious.
Because Mommy made some Japanese food like oden, we ate our fill!
I have to be on a diet (^^;)

Other people have children. They are a 7-months boy, 5-years-old boy, and 6-years-old boy.
They are so~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cute☆☆

Because my brother has no younger brother or sister, he was happy to have “brothers.”

With the exception of the fact that I was little unhappy that there are not any same-age girls, the party was so exciting.

I’m looking forward to the next gathering☆

I put on some pictures with the baby and “brothers”(^_<)

Back to Hiroshima

2006-01-09T08:15:00.000-08:00

From Thirsday, December 29th to Monday, January 9th, I spend my holiday in my home town, Hiroshima.

I’m looking forward to meeting my family, relatives and friends☆☆

In addition, from January 5th to 9th, my grandmother and cousin visit Hiroshima to see my coming-of-age ceremony☆

Going back in this time should be more exciting☆☆

Christmas Party with INTL

2006-01-09T08:00:00.000-08:00

On Tuesday, December 27th, Christmas party by INTL was held at live house in Ochanomizu.

Because we got the time only in the afternoon, we met at 11 o’clock. THAT WAS WRONG!!
After we prepared for it, the party started at 12:45.
That means we drank from the afternoon♪♪
I drank a lot of tyu-hai, getting drunk in good way♪♪

Various entertainments were programmed. Bingo games with a person’s name in INTL, present exchange, DJ time, live by Mosh Factory whose members are also INTL members.
I enjoyed every program.

I got bingo the third and took present. When everyone got bingo and present, we all together opened it. I received a stuffed toy of snoopy☆It’s so cute. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find who bought it…
I want to say thank you in this blog☆

In DJ time, I danced♪♪Though most people have a chat, drinking and so on(^^;)
I wish everyone enjoy dancing… How shy they are…

Live was so~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ cool!!!!
Every guys were high and so I was☆Their performance was so great and I became one of their fan☆

After the party was closed, we moved to Shinjuku, having another drinking party.
Because of heavy exhaustion, we drank not so strongly.

Though most of members intended to have extra party, but everybody felt fatigued…
So we broke up at Shinjuku. Three of my friends and I went to Karaoke only in an hour and Two of them stayed at my house☆

In spite of some tiredness, it was a so exciting year-end party♪♪

Christmas Party with Tutors

2005-12-15T00:28:00.000-08:00

At last, we had a Christmas Party by tutors at the cafeteria on Tuesday, December 15th.

As I repeated so masy many times, some of my friends and I prepared for it by dance performance.

We practiced twice a week and last week we practiced almost every day☆☆
It was a so hard and severe time but gradually our friendship became more close and strong.

In addition, we performanced great dancing on that day☆☆

The Christmas party itself was also exciting☆☆
We enjoyed the food, the game, folk dance, and exchanging of present.

To my sorrow, it was a last event that tutors planed...

I was so happy to meet our friends of tutors.

I luv you all☆☆

mixi

2005-12-03T04:51:00.000-08:00

Do you know mixi?? It's a social networking service with an introduction from my friend, so we can enjoy without anxiety.

Most of my friends enjoy with it .They are from my high school days to my university days.We can keep in touch those who live all over the country with the site.It is good to meet those who are estranged again. We exchange mails, write down blog.

However, there are some problems!!!

It makes me addicted to computer although I have homeworks to do...
What is more, if people become more addicted, serious social problem occures.
That is, I have a fear that people become to have communiation only on Net...

Turely, it is good to use computers but, we also have to learn moderate handling.

MY Mother's Opinion Has Changed...

2005-11-23T21:31:00.000-08:00

You know, I love dancing and my dream is to become a dancer in Disneyland. However, it is very severe to make living with such a dream. Of course my parents are against my plan.

However, recently my mother has changed her opinion about my future. She gave me a pep talk. That is, she tald me to try for number 1, Broadway. I'm very happy to hear that because she always disagree for my dream.

Now all I have to do is trying my best for my dream☆☆

Coffee Meeting in November

2005-11-23T04:54:00.001-08:00

On Tuesday,November 22th, Coffee Meeting was held. In addition,it was birthday of Mrs.Matsuda, a woman works for International Exchange Group in Student Center.So we prepared for her to give a surprising present such as square piece of fancy paper for writing a message for her and marron cake.

This time,too, we enjoyed games with small groups.We played Karuta with person's name, and Fukuwarai.Our group ranked second in Karuta but no point in Fukuwarai.

What I want to say is not just our fun time but internatioal exchange.The group I put in included a Chinese guy. He speaks in Japanese very well. All foriegn students in our university can talk in Japnese very fluently.The fact stimulates my intention to use foriegn language efficiently . Though the time with them, I learned some Chinese words. What a enjoyable and meaningful time I spend as a tutor☆☆

☆Disneyland☆ Part 2

2005-11-22T09:11:00.000-08:00

We took pleasure not only from ride but also show.The instant we entered in Disneyland,we happened to see Christmas Parade. Because we both are familar to dance, we enjoyed in different light.In other words, we learned dancing act from the parade and other show.

We also came up for a reserved ticket to show in front of Cinderella.Those who wanted to get the ticket may understand the difficulty. It's miracle to fall drawing. It was a fantastic show and I thought I had to lose my weight and to improve my talent for dance.

Likewise,we saw One Man's Dream Show in Showbase near Space Mountain.I have already seen a show there, but it was different from a show I saw this time. A level of the paformance became improved and more powerful.

I recommend you all performance.

Anyway, I spent fufilling time with Yo-chan☆☆

☆Disneyland☆ Part 1

2005-11-18T19:36:00.000-08:00

On Wendsday, November 16th, the anniversary of the founding of our university, I went to Disneyland with my friend, Yo-chan. We arranged to meet at Maihama at 11 o'clock. because of my excitement, I reached at quater to 11 o'clock♪♪though I was famous for latecomer. hahaha.
Anyway, we bought tickests, and entered the land with dream and adventure☆☆

Surprisingly, we were asked about customer inquiry from Disneyland. I answered the question like how often I visit here, which means of transportation I use and so on. After that, I was given one post card☆ I'm glad of such a surprising present☆☆

We rode a lot of attraction. Big Thounder Montains, Splash Mountains, Haunted Mansion, It's a Small World etc. For Taking excitement from Space Mountain, we rode it three times☆☆To our surprise, in most attraction, we could take our seet at the first line by chance☆☆Probably, we are well-behavir girls(^_<)

I never missed to ride Pairates of the Carribian just before closing time. It's customary for me somehow.Even I felt uneasy if I fail...Of course this time we also entered into the world.It was scary but I'm very excited.

Reading newspaper

2005-11-14T20:12:00.000-08:00

Now I'm in very in fun of reading newspaper.

I'm not so interested in newspaper, because we can give informations from TV. However, I' m very hasty, when I heard some of my friends in School of International Politics, Economics and Business talk about political issue, and heard the fact of another friend works in office at Fuji TV and it offers her studying international issue.

Careful reading makes me broad my world. For example, I can understand a little about system of medical treatment, names of each political leader all over the world and so on.

Reading is good☆☆

Jyoin-kai

2005-11-07T18:45:00.000-08:00

I'm from Hiroshima Jyogakuinn high school. Some classmates goes to university in Tokyo. We gathered sometimes.

On Saturday, November 5th, I held a nabe party at my house with two friends of Jyoin.

One of them is Mariko, a Sophia University student, and the other is Non-chan, a Keiou University student. How high thier academic backgroud is!!!(^^;)
And also we all join dancing circle or school for dancing☆☆

Anyway, we made kimchi hot-pot very delicously☆☆
And we have a talk about the memory of high school, recent event of ourselves, and other ex-friends. It was too long to stay up late♪♪

I wanna hold such a party many times☆☆

♪streetdance circle♪

2005-11-03T04:41:00.000-08:00

Recently, each university has a school festival. In the festival, circles had a performance show. I went to see the performances in Aoyamagakuinn in October 29th, and Sophia university in November 3rd.

Since I used to belong to G-splash, a streestdance circle in Sophia, I'm very intrested in Streetdance. Though I'm trying my best in ballet and jazz dance(^_<)

I was very happy to meet my fellow in Sophia☆

Aoyama also has a dancing circle named ADL. I think G-splash is much better than ADL. performance of G-splash is very powerful☆☆But, inner comperirion is very severe...For I've never belonged to ADL, I have no idea about inside situation of ADL, but if you wanna enjoy streetdance, I recommend you of G-splash's show☆☆

Yokosuka

2005-11-03T02:09:00.000-08:00

On Friday, October 28th, I had a special event. I went to Yokosuka with Takako, my friend.

We have known each other since an entrance ceremony and now I take class of Spanish with her. I was excited to play with her beacause we met outside university for the first time on that day.

Since I wanted to do somthing extraordinary, I followed her recommendation. First, we met at Yokohama, and droped at Afternoon Tea in Sogou. I ate chocolate cake with marron☆☆ It was vey delicious. On the other hand, Takako hate chocolate...Unbelievable!!!

After eating, we moved to Yokosuka. You may wonder why we went to such a distant city .Yokosuka has a lot of bars near army basement.

I wanted English conversation.

As I thought, there were lot of forighners in Yokosuka.

BUT the atmosphere was very BAD and SCARY.

We chose a safe-looking bar. There is a guy. Bartender designed the guy to talk with me☆☆ So I began to talk with him, while Takako enjoyed with the bartender.

We had a 2 hours conversation from self-introduction to army affairs. The 21 yeas-old man works as a male nurse in basement. He wants to go to college after 2 years. Maybe, he saves money for school expenses.

I asked him about Iraq war. He answered that he was proponent of the war and he wanted to go to the front. If he dies, it was not the meaningless death but death for the nation. The idea made me shock. However, he is not just serviceman but a person for helping wounded men. How complicated the fact is...

It was good day for experiencing of unusual event☆☆

Coffee Meeting in October

2005-11-01T05:41:00.000-08:00

On Thursday, October 27th, after a week from Food Fair, we had a Coffee meeting.

This time we played games. We made international groups and competed message game with pictures drawn with a single stroke of the brush, guessing game with Chinese character and so on. Tutors including I took charge of hosts. We provided games, without playing...Anyway, we had a fun time☆☆

After the party, some tutors and Chinese students had a small closing party in Saizeriya. On the way to the restaurant, I talked with a Chinese guy named Doukei.

Because he used to be a trading company employee, I asked him about renminbi, in Japanese, Jinmingenn. He told me that if gen is up, Japanese company would go away from China,which are going to give China shock.

We also talked about anti-Japanese activity in China.He had a comment that it is not all Chinese but a PART of Chinese.They are incited by government who hope them to turn their eyes outside the country. I'm glad to hear that☆

I hope all Chinese like Japanese someday..

Inokoya

2005-10-25T20:07:00.000-07:00

On Saturday, October 15th, I went to Inokoya, Japanese-style restraurant in Roppnngi, to have a dinner with my father and a family of my father's cousin. I was little nervous because it was for the first time for me to meet daddy's cousin, and also, I've never been to Roppongi.

We had a light conversation about the house where my daddy uesd to live.My father lived a big house with some servants, and the family often visited and played with my father.I was envy...Now the house was sold by Hiroshima City and is in a city park called Dongurimura.

We also talked about the daddy's niese. She got married recently and showed the photos of her wedding. I'm very attracted by her beauty☆☆

SOMEDAY MY PRINCE WILL COME...

The food was very delicious!!!!We ate Tofu with salmon roe, in Japanese, ikura, as a apitite, roast beef, and hot-pot. We ate a porridge of Chinese noodles and vegetables. In general, Japanese eat a porridge of rice and vegetables.However, this restaurant provides us Chisese noodles. It was very delicious☆☆You must try it(^^)

Food Fair

2005-10-24T20:20:00.000-07:00

Last Thursday, October 20th, we had a Food Fare as I wrote down. Our purpose is to let everyone to know a difference in country create a alternation in cooking in spite of one ingredient.

People make, by wheat flour, Okonomiyaki in Japan, Jijimi in Korea, and dumpling in China.

I knew for the first time that Jijimi is made by remaining ingredients. I also knew that Chinese often eat, at first, water dumpling and then, fried dumpling. Moreover, it is required for a Chinese bride to make dumpling well.

After eating, we separated some small groups and had a light discussion about international issues such as international marriage and way of education in each country.

I'm also in charge of maker of sound. It was good time to have a party with comfortable sound I chose☆☆

Gone with the Wind

2005-10-17T21:32:00.000-07:00

I saw a movie, “Gone with the Wind” because of my decision to writing of essay about it in Academic Writing. I use to read the book but gradually such a long novel made me tired. I think it’s good to make an arrangement of literature into movie. Have you read the novel or seen the movie?? I recommend you☆☆

Along with a love story of Scarlet for Ashley and Ret,(I’m sorry not for remember their spelling), it describes condition in those days; the Civil War, the slavery, and so on.

It was for the first time to realize that the Civil War was memorial and unforgettable event for Americans. Or how the Black people are treated.

The novel teaches us various living condition. That is why I suggest you to touch it☆☆

heavy discussion

2005-10-17T20:10:00.000-07:00

Yesterday,　I decided to separate with my boyfriend for a while... I'm not sad. I'm just wondering why we came to end in spite of mutual efforts. Maybe we are too serious. Or too young. Or we think about each partner too much. While we are apart, I’ll reflect about our relationship, myself and the partner. I think it’s good chance to have such time.

TACOS and COTTON CANDY

2005-10-12T22:22:00.000-07:00

Last weekend, Octber 10th and 11th, we had a Sagamihara Festival. I sold TACOS with my ex-IE members and COTTON CANDY with my INTL member.

As for TACOS, we always made collision. My leader had no responsibility, inspite of his enthusiasm. Certainly, we should have to help each other. However, we had no trust each other.
That's the point we should regret. Anyway, it is no use to make a complaint about things over. In addition, I enjoyed its sales☆

As for cotton candy, I do not do something special. But I enjoyed to gather members of INTL☆☆

Shinagawa

2005-10-02T08:05:00.000-07:00

On October 1st, I went to Shinagawa wiz my boy friend to have a dinner. Though I live near Sinagawa, it was for the first time to stroll around Sinagawa station.

We had a windowshopping for a while and entered a Japanese food restaurant. As might be expected of Japanese restaurant in Sinagawa, we saw a lot of foriegners. It was exotic and because my boy friend used to live in N.Y. and L.A. untill 8 years old, he get excited hearing conversation in English between a woman servant and foreign vistors.I also envyed that she talked fluently in English.

I WANNA BE A GOOD ENGLISH SPEAKER!!!!!!

I said this several times(^^;)

Tutors

2005-10-01T23:19:00.000-07:00

I also join volunteer called tutors for foreign students in Aoyama Uni.. We support them as friends.95% of foreigners are from China or Koria and we teach our mother tongue each other.

Each month has a "Coffee Meeting", a tea party to deepen our relationship. There are about 80 people; tutors, foreign students, Japanese students who have eagerness for international exchange.

Sometimes we have a big party, such as Welcome Party in April.
Like this, we are now preparing for Food Fare on October 20th and Christmas Party in December.
I took on a maker of sounds on Food Fare and a dancer on Christmas Party. I like choosing songs, and ,of course, dancing♪♪
On food Fare, we will play songs of Chinese, Korians, and Japanese.
And on Chirstmas Party, we dance to the tune of Yoshida Kyoudai and Will Smith.
Both tasks are sometmes exhausted but give me a sense of satisfaction. I do my best☆☆

FC INTL

2005-09-27T08:34:00.000-07:00

I join in a circle named FC INTL. This aim is to make foreign friends and communicate with them by playing sports.

However, there is a probrem that the number of foreign students don't come!!Rather, this circle is little known not only to the foreigners but to the Japanese students.

Today the members of INTL had meeting for recomfirm its direction.We had a long discusion.Sometimes,we conflict with another opinion, but we gradually came to settle into shape. Finally, we concluded that Sagamihara Fes. is good chance to let the students in Aoyama Uni. Know and this circle is not just for sporting but for contribution to society and ourselves.

I think it is good time in that we draw together☆I like INTL(^^)

☆☆Foreigner's Community: International Network of Talking and Learning☆☆

Many Things I Have To Do

2005-07-04T18:21:00.000-07:00

Recently, I always have to attend dancing class on Saturday and Sunday, because its lessons are for the next performance.
Last week, There are classes on Friday from 18:00 to 22:00, on Saturday from 15:30 to 22:00, Sunday from 15:30 to 22:00.

Hong Kong City University

2005-06-27T21:23:00.000-07:00

Tuesday,June 28th, I had a chance to have a conversation in English with Hong Kong City University on lunch time. At first, I thought I could talk to them somehow.

BUT I noticed that MY LEVEL OF SPEAKING IN ENGLISH WAS TERRIABLY BAD!!!!!!

we separated some group. My group were 4 Japanese students, 1 Chinese exchange student, 2 Hong Kong students, and 2 Hong Kong teachers.

I talked to 2 Hong Kong teachers with 1 Japanese boy and 1 Chinese exchange student. However my bad level of English made me afraid to speak in English... 1 Chinese exchange student, called chiichi, can spoke very fluently. Teachers and Chiichi made a fun conversation. Sometimes teachers tried to talk to me, but I answered very badly. Maybe they thought me as foolish student...However they were kind enough to listen to my bad English.

I WANNA BE A GOOD ENGLISH SPEAKER!!!!!

SWEETS FOREST

2005-06-27T20:11:00.000-07:00

Saturday, June 26th, I was to be in　Disneyland...BUT MY FRIEND HAD A COLD!!!!
So, instead of going to Daisneyland, we went to Jiyuugaoka to have a tea in Sweets Forest.

I was very surprised and pleased that there were so many shops sells sweet o(><)0
we spent about 3 hours and rambles aroud Jiyuugaoka.

We happened to meet a man walking with dog.
He said to us, " Are you looking for something?"
We answered,"Just looking."
Then the man said, " I'll show you Sachiyo Nomura's house." thogh we said nothing (~~;)

The way to the house was very far...We walked 15 minutes or so, and at last, we reached the house.As might be expected, the house was huge and dignified.

Althogh I couldn't go to Disneyland, I experienced extraordinary happenings.

I slept very deeply that day, because of tirednedss...Zzz

Japanese Singers

2005-06-20T22:02:00.000-07:00

As I said last blog, I wanna tell you my favorite singers.

KREVA was one of members in KICK THE CAN CREW.
KICK broke up for some reasons few years ago. KREVA and Little, also one of the members, are on music scene by solo.

To tell the truth, I don't like any music sold by solo. But, KREVA's new single called "ISSAI GASSAI" fit me very much☆☆

I think its promotion video is very intersting. The setting is that a high-school boy fell in love with a woman teacher and they went to see KREVA's live in summer. When the show was over, the teacher tied his hand. HOW CUTE ISN'T IT?

AI is a hip hop or R&B singer.
I knew her for the first time when NAMIE AMURO was in act as SUITE CUIK. They sing a song called "Ah,Ah,,,"

I like her songs because I like HIP HOP and R&B. Her new single is ballad song called "story"

If you please, try to listen these singer's song☆

Lucky? Or Unlucky?

2005-06-20T19:48:00.000-07:00

On Monday, June 2oth, an Art class in 5 period was canceled☆☆
I felt so lucky because it makes me boared...

Then I decided to play someone. BUT, Everyone I contacted said "Sorry, I'm busy..."
I FELT AS IF I HAD NO FRIEND...

Feeling lonely, I drop at TSUTAYA to borrow some CDs. I borrowed some J-POP musics, such as, KREVA, AI, DEARMLAND and so on.

Next blog, I will tell you about these singers☆

♪Friend Like Me♪

2005-06-14T22:12:00.000-07:00

On Sunday, June 12th, as usual there was a lesson for performance show. Sunday's class was for musical held on September 11th although I don't say any dialogue☆

The story goes like this. A girl who asked for her sister's warm heart lost her way, and reached Yellow land. I'm one of residents in Yellow land. We invite her by dancing. The music used in this scene is "Friend Like Me" by Aladin.Because my dream is to be a dancer in Disney Land, I'm very happy to dance with this number♪♪

WI+S

2005-06-14T21:53:00.000-07:00

Do u know WI+S?? It is a dancing circle of Keiou University. One of my friends from my high school decided to join this circle from this April. On Saturday, June 11th, WI+S had a spring performance and I went to see this show wiz my friends from Aoyama University.

She joined lock and house. I couldn't tell her from other performers, but I was very moved that it was very powerful show!! At the same time, I felt enviable that she can join such a wonderful circle because my circle I used to join was not good in that everybody was not a companion but a rival.

Anyway, I was stimulated by her and her circle!!

After dancing

2005-06-14T21:41:00.000-07:00

On Friday, after I danced contemporary dance, I went to Shibuya to meet my friend.
Because both of us are from Hiroshima and we don't go to Shibuya so much, we are trouble with where we ate dinner. Finally we chose DONA.
We had a good time but because my fatigue was extreme high, while he talked about various things, I could't answer with proper words. Sorry(><;)

Contemporary Dance

2005-06-14T21:16:00.001-07:00

I participated in a workshop of contemporary dance by Mr. Kuwabara on Friday, June 10th.
I have never experienced this type of dance, but I'm going to dance it next performance show.

In my opinion, this dance is very strange, especially how to beat its count. We counted like this. 1,2,3,4, 1,2,3,4,5,6, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, 1,2,3,4, 1,2,3,4,5,6　……See?

It is not only how to count but also how to move that I feel strange. It's like a monument in front of Machida station. It's true!!!

Actually I don't like this dance but I 'll try my best so that I can dance various type of dance.

Thursday Night

2005-06-07T22:56:00.000-07:00

Because I live in Shinagawa-ku, I have to get up and get on train earlier than anyone who lives near University. On Friday, I can' t get up early, so I decided to stay my friend's house in Yabe on every Thursday.

We take pleasure in watching drama called "Kegareta Shita." It was a story about adultery written by Uchidate Makiko, who is very famous for bog story. WE ARE VERY EXCITED to watch it.

Eating with my friends

2005-06-06T19:48:00.000-07:00

On May 31th, I went to Shibuya to eat with my friends. I went to Los Angels for studying abroad combined with sightseeing. They were my companions to Los Angels.

We ate very big hamburger near Aoyama Campus. I forgot the shop's name(><;)

We talked about memorial events that happened in Los Angels. We talked about not only memory, but also recent happeings or future vision.
One of my freinds, who goes to Aoyama women's junior college, said she got an unofficial decision from one travel agency!!
In addition, another freind- she also goes to women's junior college- thinks to admit into Aoyama University. I'm very surprised and happy to hear that♪♪

I have to do my best likie these my freinds☆

MY Granma

2005-06-06T19:34:00.000-07:00

On June 4th, I called my Granma for a long separationto express my gratitute for giving me money.

we talked a lot about recent happenings.

The way she speaks is very alike that of my mothers.
I told her such impression, she said to me, " Because I'm her mother."
After calling to Granma, I telephoned my mother and told what we talked about.
She also said to me, "Because she is my mother."

What a interesting!!

Coffee Meeting

2005-05-31T00:50:00.000-07:00

Today there was a small party called coffee meeting. As I said before, I join volanteers for forghin students of our university. Today’s party is held in order to deepen the relationships between the forighners and japanese students. We palyed games, have a chat, drinking coffee. It was a very fun time. Next time, please join us.

The teachers

2005-05-30T14:30:00.000-07:00

There is a jazz class on Tuesday. The teacher is Ms.Shiratori, who is very cheerful. At first, you will be surprised that she says legs as "annyo."(~~;) but you'll like her cuz she teaches very kindly. The class is for both the beginners and the masterd, so it is relativelyeasy to dance.(^^)
On the other hand, another jass class on Wendsday, it is difficult for me to dance cuz the level of the the class is very high... but the teacher, Ms .Sekine is so kind that she often gives me advice.
There is ballet class on Wendsday. Cuz I have no experience of ballet, it's terriblly difficult. The teacher of the ballet is severe but she often says "that's good," which makes me motivated.
I like these teachers cuz they makes me up to my level of dancing♪♪

I'm busy in dancing

2005-05-23T14:15:00.000-07:00

Friday, May 2oth, I went to my dancing school to practice new genre for performance held on September. It was lock. I can't explain what it's like, but I think most of people have seen it.
I met new teacher whose name is Mr.Kimura. He is very funny but sometimes do sexual harassment(++;) For example, he touched my jaw and say "You are cute." unbelievable, isn't it?
Except his sexual harassment, the atmosphere was very good. There were six people including the teacher and me:I have known three of them,one man and two girls, and I met a girl whose name is Miho for the first time. Cuz I'm new face there, I'm very nervous, but they are very kind to me. My new dancing school was very good place to dance freely. There is no wall between seniors and juniors. I'm a lucky girl in that I found such place.
By the way, let me inform you about the performance that will be beld in September 9th, 10th, and 11th. I want you to see my everday 's effort☆☆Thank u(≧▽≦)

Nice to Meet you☆
