My friend!

My friend, Rachel had gone Canada yesterday. Rachel was a student at KGU. She likes Japanese and she is good at speaking Japanese. She joined my circle, Sanpo. It was very happy for me, because I could know about her and her country. Also, I could learn English. I often hanged out with her. We went to Ezu Lake to row a boat. We cooked Okonomiyaki in my circle member’s house. After that, we watched movie and she enjoyed it. We went to Sushi restaurant. She can eat any Sushi. She likes Japanese foods, but she sometimes missed her country foods. Of course we went drinking!! We prefer drinking and eating, so sometimes we spent the night drinking. We talked about each other, and also we talked about our love things! :-) It was very fun!!

She went back Canada, but she will come to Japan again because she wants to stay here again. We promised to meet maybe next year…! When she went back there, I really missed her. She is so kind and she always took care of me. When the rainy day at night, she saw me my home. She always smiles and positive. She is so active to join Sanpo members. She likes Sanpo circle very much, it was very happy for us.

Rachel is studying Japanese so hard, so I thought I have to study English more. Then, I will talk to her in English. She speaks Japanese very well, so I think she studies it very hard. I want to study abroad. If I can go Canada I can see her. Now, I can’t see her in Japan, but I can meet her again. She is my best friend!! I will exchange e-mail and I can contact her on mixi or facebook! See you soon, Rachel!

My Friends! ★MARKEYS★

I have eight best friends and we all went to the same high school. We made this group called “MARKEYS”. M stands for Mayu and Madoka, A for Ai, R for Rina, K for Kyoko, E for Eriko, Y for Yuriko, and S for Sayuri and Shiori. We have been good friends since high school, however we used to fight a lot too. We had built such a strong connections between each other, we still talk to each other every once in a while, and we get together every time we come home.

We had studied in the same class for three years because we were all in English class. It was very weird to walk into the class at first because there were no boys in the classroom. We tried to get to know each other at first, but it was not that easy as I thought; girls fight all the time. However I ended up making eight true friends at the end. I’ve probably fought every one of them, but we are now closer than ever because we had been through together so much. We had a huge party after the graduation ceremony and it was so much fun.

I have all their numbers so that I can call whenever I want to. I talk to every one of them at least once a week. I hate hanging up my phone at the end of the conversation because I miss them so much. Some of them live in Tokyo, Fukuoka or even in America to go to school. They all have their own lives now and it makes me sad sometimes because we all used see each other every day. However they tell me how their lives over the phone and I tell them how I’m doing. We are still close as we used to when we were in high school even if we don’t live in the same city any more. Besides Rina and Mayu are still here and they even go to the same school so we go shopping together all the time. It makes me feel better.

We graduated from high school only almost two years ago but we try to see each other as much as we could. Most of them come home for Christmas and New Year, and summer vacation. It’s actually hard to see all of them at the same time since they all have a break in slightly different period but I try to see them all individually. This year, we have the ceremony for coming of the age so we are having a huge party afterwards and I am so excited because all of them are going to be there.

As I said before, we are closer than ever even if we live in different places. We sometimes talk about us fighting all the time when we were in high school and we even laugh about it. We will never be separated from each other because we are connected strongly by our heart. I love them so much and I want them to be on my side for the rest of my life.

I went to river near Kurea with my friends yesterday and the day before. It took about 30 minutes by car. The river was so cold and we felt comfortable because it was hot day. I really like swimming in the river. There were a lot of fish. We jumped into the river from high place many times. I will go there again; also I am going to go to beautiful beach this summer.

Firefly♪

I went to Kyokushi to see fireflies with my friends. When we went to there, it was light. So we waited it became dark. Fireflies were very beautiful when I saw them from a distance, but seen close up they were not at all pretty. I don’t like insects!

I went to Kurume to see my friend, Madoka, in GW. She is my high school friend. She goes to Kurume University. She lives near by the school. When I see her, I was so happy, because I had not seen her for a long time. I thought she was lost her weight..?

Then, we went to Tosu outlet. I had not been there, so I was exciting, but there were a lot of people because of GW! I hate the place where in many people, but I love shopping and we continue shopping. Many goods were very cheap there, but I bought only a hair accessory. We had a very enjoyable time!

Favorite Place; School

Students are almost in a school. I am a student, so I go to KGU almost every day. My favorite place is school, KGU. Sometimes I don't like it, but I really like my school. There are 3 reasons. I can learn many things, of course English. And, I can get many unforgettable pleasant experiences through my club activities. Most important thing is that I can see my friends in school. I can make many friends in school.

First, I can learn a lot of things in my school. I major in English, so I learn speaking, listening, writing and reading. I also learn about intercultural, American literature, American history and so on. I can learn much kind of foreign things and Japanese literature. I learn not only English but also Spanish and Chinese. I am glad to learn some foreign languages in my school. I want to make many foreign friends and to go many foreign countries, so I have to learn foreign things. My school teachers give me a lot of useful information through classes.

Second, I like my club in my school. I am belonging to Walking club, and there are many people in my club. We are all good friends, and we have some events. We take a trip to Okinawa in every spring. We often enjoy drinks party. We go karaoke or many enjoyable places, but biggest event is school festival; Takumasai. This is very important for us. We have a parade to advertise the festival before it. We have to make original costumes and a portable shrine for the parade. It is so hard for us, but we can get prizes at the festival if we make them very well. After the parade, we make beautiful and humor things to exhibit in our school class. It also has a prize, so we make them very hard. We feel very happy and we are impressed when we get prizes and finished all of preparation for the festival. Takumasai is the most important event for us. We can’t forget the memories through the festival.

Third, I can see my friends and make many friends in my school. It is very nice to me, because I really like my friends. I always spend school time with my friends. We eat lunch in a students’ dining hall everyday. And we talk about our school life, assignments or boys. Those times are very interesting and important for me. I sometimes go shopping, eating dinner with my friends after school. They always help us when I am distressed. If I didn’t go to KGU, I couldn’t see my university friends! It is so sad! I can’t live without my friends. I always thank to my friends.

Because of school, I can learn many useful things in my classes. I can get experiences through my club activity. I can see my friends in KGU. School is very nice place for everyone. Schools are not only studying place! Schools are so interesting place, so my favorite place is my school.

First, we saw Tinker Bell, Mickey and Minney. We saw Princess Jasmine, Princess Snow White, Belle, Princess Ariel, Mulan, Princess Aurora and Cinderella. They were sooooo beautiful and cute! My favorite princess is Princess Ariel. She is a character of “The Little Mermaid”. She is mermaid, but she wanted to be a human. The story is very nice. Songs are also great in the story. And Cinderella was very beautiful. She rode in a carriage. It was so shiny. The end of the show, we saw little fireworks! Disney On Ice was very nice! I want to see next year too!

Stingrays were soooooo ugly! And big! Then I took little train to see some penguins with Natsuki. The train was very exciting! We saw many penguins, but we couldn’t take photos. They were very lovely! :-) They were very clearly pregnant. They can swim, but they didn’t swim at all then. I thought they were freezing, because I was freezing too! We could enjoy very nice time. Then, we looked around the aquarium.

Sky Tower! August 5th

Today, I went to school by bus at 8:30. We went to Sky Tower. Sky Tower is the highest tower in the southern hemisphere. When I saw the Sky Tower, I was very surprised at it. Because it was very tall! I took many pictures of it. We went up to the tower. The view from the tower was splendid. We could see around the Auckland. It was great. Sea was large! Sky tower has some clear windows on the floor, so we could see under! It was very fearful, but I enjoyed very nice time in Sky Tower. I want to go there again at night.
