this vacation

I have thought that I went to Osaka. My favorite dance instructor is in Osaka, and I want to take his lesson of Osaka. So I wanted to go there, but I don’t have money so much that I may not be able to visit Osaka. So, I will practice a lot in Kumamoto and I want to improve my dance skill. Then someday I want to go to Osaka to take that lesson.

What did I do last spring vacation? Well…I started a new part time job and quitted that soon, and went to Fukuoka with my best friend. Like that. In fact I wanted to go abroad during this vacation. I’ve never been abroad, so I’m always thinking about going to anywhere abroad. Of course, to study. But I can’t spend so much money, so I’ll try to take “Working Holiday”. I don’t have to append so much money comparative to going abroad to study, Ryugaku. I really want to go, but I can’t decide. I’m afraid to go to the foreign country alone. I think “If I couldn’t make friends…”

Someday I’m going to go abroad by the graduating. I don’t know when… Anyone give me some advice please!!!!

PLANETS

This time, I read “DISCOVERING PLANETS” as the last book review. Since I was a child, I’ve been interested in the planets. The TV animation broadcasted when I was a child was related the planets, so then I remembered whole planets’ name. Of course sun, I remembered Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. And What I learned from this book is that Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn are in a same group, and we could see them without the telescope. Neptune, Uranus and Pluto are in a group, and those we couldn’t see them without the telescope. So that 3 planets were discovered by 3 astronomers. Uranus was discovered by William Herschel. Neptune was found by Johann Galle. Pluto was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh.

I want to know the reason why the planets are named each. Especially, I like Mercury, Uranus and Neptune, so I want to know, but there is no information in this book.

LUNCH

I often have my lunch at the school cafeteria. I often have with Daisuke, Yusuke, Gakky, Kurara and Kazuma. But recently I seldom see Kazuma in the university. Where has he gone? J I bring a packed lunch. Thank you, mother. Daisuke also often brings his packed lunch. Yusuke has brought the packed lunch that his girlfriend made. I remember he had it happily. Sometimes my mother can’t make my packed lunch, so then I have a dish of cafeteria. I like “Sutamina-don”. It is very very delicious. Cabbage is on the rice, and beef is on that, and egg is on that. You check it out!!

And I like to go out to have a lunch set. My favorite store that I’ve been to ever is “Hifumi-ya”. “Hi” means 1, “fu” means 2 and “mi” means 3 in English. I recommend you “Hormone-Teishoku”. It is only 500 yen, but you can have rice any time and the hormone is so good. The store is located close to downtown. You must say “I cannot believe this 500 yen!!!!”, and you must have rice many times.

I also want to save money, but if I can eat my lunch with my friends, I don’t care about money.

I like cold better than warm, so I like winter better than summer. The reason why I like it is that winter has a lot of exciting things for me more. For example. I can have Christmas, winter vacation, New Year, Otoshidama and my birthday. Look, so many good things, right? Also I can see snow!!! I like it very much because it’s so beautiful. But in Kumamoto city, it doesn’t snow so much. Aso have lots of snow every year although. Snow could express the cold more.

When it’s cold, Japanese Kotatsu is very useful. The first person who made Kotatsu is genius. Every day I’m into it, and finally I sleep with Kotatsu. And hot milk is also good! I often drink it with instant cocoa or instant coffee. Hot green tea is good too!! They could get me warm. Do you know that to have the ice cream in winter is so good? It is really so delicious that you try it!!

And I don’t know why, but I feel lonely and sentimental every winter. I often listen to the ballad or the love song. Mika Nakashima’s song, Yuki no Hana and Boa’s song, Merikuri can't make me warm, but make me more lonely and sentimental.

GAME

Of course, I have played Nintendo 64. We call it “Roku Yon”, it means 64. I remember that I would often played “Mario Party”, “Mario Tennis” and “Smash Brothers”. These are all exciting games. My cousin had all version of Mario Party, so I went to her when I wanted to play it. As I played Mario Tennis, my rival is my father. He was not so good at playing game, but always he would play with me. Smash Brothers is good for when I want to battle with my friends. Everyone around me liked it.

But I like to play “Game Boy” better. Especially, Pocket Monster is my favorite game soft. Pocket Monster is known all over the world, right?? My exchange student likes it and he often says Pikachu is so cute. Also I’ve once watched the English animation of Pocket Monster. I really like it and played every day, and I’ve brought it to school to play it. I have two brothers, and they both were strong. I’d never won them.

Since I was a high school student, I came not to play any games. Now sometimes my friends talks about the game, but I can’t understand well. If I have a time to play the game, I want to sleep or eat.

Pet!

Now I have a pet!!! It is a dog, Labradoll Retriever. His name is Leon and he is black. The size is not so big, but he’s very very strong. I still remember that I went to see him first with my father and he became a member of my family. When he was a baby, he was so so cute. My father takes him for a walk every morning and evening. So Leon likes my father so much. He calls my father with sweet voice as soon as he came home. I have to learn from him because he is fine every time.

Now I want to have a cat. The other day, I watched a TV program and cats were featured in the program. I have an image that cat is fuss-free. So I want to have a cat when I will have to live alone. My mother dislikes a cat so much.

Sometimes I think that what pet is thinking about, for example do they feel happy, do they think they don’t want to be with their family nor do they want to go back to their real mother. They can’t choose what they have today. They just wait for their family’s coming home outside. I think like that sometimes and I feel sad. So we have to love the pet and make them happy.

my favorite music and musician

Recently I often listen to “Morning Musume” J Maybe I can say in English “Morning Girls”. About 10 years ago, they were hit the most. The beginning members were only 5 girls, but they had a join of new members many times, so they had had more than 10 members. Their hit songs are for example “Love Machine” or “Love Revolution 21”. I’m sure you have heard them.

As a musician, as an artist, as a singer, I like Ayaka. She had a rest for last one year, and after that she came back now. She has a beautiful voice and an expressive power. The reason why I like her is that her every song has any message and also that message can be given to me. For example, in her song “I believe” she says that everything is going to start and move if you believe yourself, and in “Winding Road” she says life is like a winding road and the light is very far, but you must catch the light if you believe your every step.

Her messages would give me any power and make my heart clear. If you never listened to her song, you should do it right now. You must like her.
