my summer vacation

2009-07-31T17:15:00.004+09:00

Do you have any plan for your summer vacation? I have some plans and a lot of things what I have to do during this summer vacation!

First, I introduce my plans. I will go to Fukuoka prefecture on September 18th to watch a live concert. It is Acid Black Cherry's concert live! I couldn't go to his concert of last summer, so I can hardly wait to watch him. I will go there with my sister, because she likes him too.

I loved his song since my friend had recommended it to me. Then he had sang a lot of songs as a vocal of group named Janne Da Arc.

Sad to say, most of the people around me didn't know Acid Black Cherry, but they knew Janne Da Arc :-) I think that Janne Da Arc is more famous than Acid Black Cherry, because the group sang some theme song of famous cartoon films. For example, it is Gekkouka (a theme song of Black Jack)

I like both of Janne Da Arc and Acid Black Cherry, and I want a lot of people to know them.

Before I go to the live concert, I will go to the Kyusyu national museum to watch a statue of Asyura. It is national treasure in Japan, and it is displayed at the Kyusyu national museum in Fukuoka prefecture only this summer term.

I like to watch historical materials like this, so I want to watch it.b But I haven't yet decided to anything definite.

And I will go out with my friend Chinami next week, and I think I want to go to interesting spot, but I don't have any good idea now. If you know a good spot, please tell me. We have drivers license, but don't have car, so please tell me a spot where we can go by train or bus.

And I will watch fireworks in Kumamoto on August 7th. It is festival of Hinokuni. I think a lot of student of KGU come to the festival, because it will hold at castle of Kumamoto. I f you go there, please take picture of fireworks, and post in your blog. I want to see them. Of course, I will take a picture, and pot it in this blog.

Second, I introduce some things what I have to do. It is study! I will have test to become local civil servant on September 20th. To pass the first test, I should study about a lot of fields. For example. I should study about politics, economic, and international society. Moreover, I should study about Japanese, science, and mathematics! I don't like mathematics, and I can't understand it!! But I want to pass the test, so I will study hard during this month.

As you can see I have a lot of plan. I want to enjoy this summer vacation．[480/9789]

cook♪

2009-07-31T03:16:00.004+09:00

Recently, I cook with my boyfriend at his home. For example, we often cook curry, beef stew, and other ordinal dishes together.

Last week, I made this hamburger steak for lunch with him. He went to the supermarket and meat store to buy foods, and I prepared some vegetables at home.

My boyfriend can cook very well, his Chinese foods and takikomi-gohan(rice cooked with meat, fish, vegetables, etc.) is very good! I like them.

But he can't chop a carrot or onion into fine pieces, so I always have to do it. I want him to become more good chef:)

After he came back to the home, we began to cook together. It was easy to make the hum burger steak, it was only do mix.

We made a lot of them, and he ate almost of them! Of course I ate it. It was delicious!!

It was fun time that we cook together and the hamburger steak was good, so I want to cook it again with him.

cicada

2009-07-31T00:53:00.005+09:00

I found the castoff shell of a cicada in my house garden. It held on wall of my house.I don't like cicada well, because I think that the figure is weird form. But it reminds me of a lot of memory of summer. When I was child and live in Kagoshima prefecture, I always catch cicada with my sisters and my grandfather in mountain where near the grandparent’s house. It was very difficult for us to catch it, but my grandfather gets it easily. I had thought that he is great!!

He gave us other insects, for example, beetles, a stag beetles and dragonflies. I was pleased then.

In this summer vacation, I will go to my grandparent’s home, so I want to try to catch beetle. If I catch it, I will show you in this blog.　[139/9140]

I have a sister of student of KGU. She became a freshman in this spring.

The other day, she had class, so she woke up early morning. And I have no class today, because I'm a senior in that University. So, I wanted to sleep until 11:00 a.m. But, around 9:00 a.m., my mobile phone was calling. The sound made me awake. That was my sister. She said "I forgot to take shoses!! Please take it for me until 1:00 p.m!!"

I went to school to just derivery her shoes! I got angry with her, because she always ask me to do something. I want her to do everything by herself. [111/9001]

New hair style?

2009-07-30T22:33:00.007+09:00

I bought a new fashion item, it is this wig♪ I wanted to changed my hair style, but I can't, because I have to do job hunting. That is why I decided to buy a wig for the first time.

At first, I researched web site that I can get nice wig. My friend who use it often tell me a web site, it was Airly. She said "A wig of this web site is very good!! It is natural like real hair!!" I visited the site, and there were some wigs, but I couldn't find nice one.

I researched another site, and I found some web shop. I looked for cute and reasonable wig, finally, I found it!

Now, my hair style is semi-long, and color is black, so I bought a long-curl style, and its color was brawn.

On Tuesday, I worn it as soon as it was delivered to my home. But!! The long wig wasn't suitable for me:<>

After I cut the hair of wig, I found another nice one in a web site, named Star rich. All wig's price are 2980yen. It is so reasonable!! I bought long-curl wig which the color is natural black.

And it reached me today!! I like this wig, because it looks natural like real hair. I want wear it when I go out. But the bangs is too long for me, so I have to cut it.

I think wig is very convenient item, because I can go out soon even my hair is disheveled hair and I can change my hair style whenever I want to do it.

I want more wigs, for example, I want to buy short hair style, semi-long curl and long straight. If you know nice wig, please tell me. [296/8890]

I went to Tokyo Disney Land with my friends for the first time!! We overslept and we couldn't go there in opening time. When we entered TDL, there were a lot of people, because the day was Sunday.

At first, we enjoyed a "coffee cup", but I felt unwell because it turned round and round. After I had a rest, we separated into two groups, because my friend, Ayami and I don't like terrible attraction like splash-mountain but others like them.

So Ayami and I enjoyed western land. We watched a Bear's show and we wore costume of Western and took a picture. It was very fun!!

A few hours later, we joined and went to "Haunted mansion". We managed to entered the mansion after standing in line for a hour. It was fearful, but I enjoyed it.

To tell the truth, I couldn't feel like effect. Do you feel it when you eat ell? [108]

My favorite movie

2009-07-19T18:20:00.006+09:00

I introduce my favorite movies in this essay. I have a lot of favorite movies, so I introduce some movies.

First, I write about “Chinese ghost story”. It was very old movies, and I was kindergartner when I watched it first. This movie has some series. I like 3 best of all series. It is love romance of a Chinese ghost woman and a priest. In this story, there are a lot of ghost woman, and they are very beautiful women. They tempt a lot of men to comes their house, and after they could tempt them, kill men.

But heroin who ghost rescued by a priest was good ghost. She did’t kill the man, and they were in love each other.
But a terrible boss of the ghosts tried to kill them, because the boss was afraid of be killed by them.

I think that CG of this movie is not good. But I like ghost’s costume and actress. They were very beautiful! If you like Chinese dress, you will become like this movie. I haven’t watched this movie for a long time, so I want to watch all series again.

Next, I introduce “nobody knows” It is Japanese movie and it got prize of movie. It was based on real story. A young mother who has 4 children gave up growing them. So she had children stay in their home, and she left there, and she made a new family.
Children couldn't earn money, so they became poor. They couldn't buy food, and a first-born son steal foods in shop for his brothers. The end of this story was very sad. I can’t believe that the story is real.

The actor who played the first-born son is Yuya Yagira. He was just young boy then, but he is good actor. His performance made me moved.
If you like serious story, please watch this movie. [316]

After I washed my hands and mobile phone, I came back to class. I told that thing what happened in the ladies’ room to Anna. She cheered up me.

Book Review 1-09 [Fluffy And the firefighters]

2009-06-29T01:17:00.002+09:00

I read this book, title is “Fluffy And the firefighters”. I selected it, because I want to read new series and Fluffy looks cute!

One day, two firefighters came to Ms. Day’s classroom, because they introduce their job to children. They explain their uniforms what protect them from fire, and wear it actually. Then Fluffy saw the Firefighter, and he thought “help!” That’s why he thought that the firefighter is a space monster, because firefighters can look scary.

I thought that Fluffy is so cute, because he is hiding from firefighters!

After all, he understood firefighters, and he climbed into the cab. Then the fire engine moved to place of fire. Fluffy saw firefighter’s work and he thought “firefighters real heroes!”

I think so too! Firefighters are great, because they save a lot of life. This book tell us important thing. I want to read this series again. [148]

Daifuku

2009-06-28T19:45:00.002+09:00

Pleas look this picture! It is Daifuku (a soft rice cake stuffed with sweetened bean jam) that my friend made. I had never eaten handmade Daifuku, so, I think she is great! Of course, it was very good.

I want to make strawberry-daifuku, but strawberries are out of season now, so I will make new daifuku. For example, I want to use apple instead of strawberry. If you have good ideas, please tell me. I will try them, and I introduce on this blog.[84/5035]

SAW4

2009-06-28T19:44:00.001+09:00

I watched SAW4 on Hikari-TV yesterday. Do you know SAW series? It is famous horror movie, and 5 titles are released in Japan now.

I don’t like horror story, but I like SAW, because I think that SAW series has not only horror, but also interesting stories. There are intricate stories and it is exciting to guess the end.

The SAW4 was very terrible, so I couldn’t watch it alone. I will watch SAW5 next week; of course, I will watch it with someone! My favorites are SAW1 and 2. Have you ever seen all series? Please tell me your favorite oneJ (102)

Gold pumpus

2009-06-28T19:39:00.008+09:00

I bought gold pumps for my friend’s wedding party. As I wrote at dress post, I had to buy bag and pumps that the color is suitable my dress. I went to some shops to find best one, because I couldn't find it soon.

But, when I went to shopping with my mother and sister, I found it. There were 3 colors; they were gold, pink, and black. I couldn't decide which color I should buy. My dress is pink and black, so I thought I should buy the pink, but I prefer the gold to the pink.

After all I bought the gold one, because my mother recommended it and I like it better than pink. And it is suitable my dress! I will wear the dress and gold pumps on the wedding day (135)

E4 My memorable day

2009-06-28T19:35:00.005+09:00

I introduce my memorable day in this essay. To tell the truth, I don’t want to tell you this memory, because I’m embarrassed to write about this memory. But, I don’t have any memorable day expect it, so I decide to show you it.

It is a day that I took a trip to Moji with my boyfriend 3 years ago summer, and it was our first trip. 3 years ago, I wanted to see fireworks suddenly, and I told him the wish. But almost all fireworks had already finished, because the time was end of summer. But he found the Moji port fireworks, and planed the trip.

But there was a very difficult problem. The Moji port fireworks are very big and famous fireworks, so a lot of peoples come. That’s why, we couldn’t reserve hotel near the place of fireworks.

Though my boyfriend looked for a lot of hotel, there were no rooms at every hotel.
I thought I give up going fireworks, but he never give up. Finally, he found a room! The accommodation charges were so expensive, I thought. But he reserved it for me. I was very pleased at his tender hearts.

There were heavy traffic jams on the day. There were a lot of cars and people, I had never seen such a traffic jam.
When we reached the place, it was filled with a lot of people and food wagons. We ate fried potatoes, shaved ice and takoyaki until the fireworks begin.

The fireworks began after dark, they were various forms and very beautiful. I was moved by them, and people gave a shout of joy, whenever the fireworks were displayed. I took some pictures, so I will show you them in this essay.

We came back to hotel before the fireworks finish, because we wanted to avoid the heavy traffic jam.

On the next day, we went to the SPACE WORLD (an amusement park) on our way home. It was very hot day, so we were very tired. But I enjoyed the precious time.

We travelled to a lot of places after the trip, but the fireworks is the best trip of my memories. I want to go the Moji port fireworks again, I will tell him. (378)

cherry

2009-06-18T19:34:00.007+09:00

Thank you for comment! I'm sorry that I posted a only picture.
I think that it wasn't satounishiki, but I forgot the brand of the cherry. My mother bought it from her place of work. There are a lot of good fruits and vegetables, moreover, they are very low price! So, the cherry was not expensive too :)

The cherry had beautiful red color, so it was very cute. And the taste was very good! I ate lots.
By the way, do you like American cherry? I like better American cherry than cherry. The color is dark red, and it is hard(102)

soy sauce pasta

2009-06-18T19:34:00.006+09:00

I made a shouyu sauce pasta with beef, because there was good beef in a refrigerator of my home. I had expected good taste until I ate it, but I failed in cook them.

I thought that it is easy to make the sauce, but it was wrong.
So, I couldn't make good sauce:(

Of course, the pasta was not good, because I failed in make the sauce. I was very sad.

A few days later, I asked my friend how to make good the sauce. She is good at with make the sauce, because she always make soy sauce pasta. She taught me some seasonings. I will make soy sauce pasta again with them. [115]

pasta

2009-06-18T19:11:00.005+09:00

Recently, I often cook pasta in my home for lunch.

The other day, I made tomato sauce pasta, because there were a lot of fully ripened tomatoes in my home, so I made sauce too! It was very easy how to cook the sauce, but seasoning was difficult. I couldn't make good sauce, I think.

After I made the sauce, I made the tomato sauce pasta, but it was not good, because I used my tomato sauce. I want to challenge the tomato sauce again, and I will make a good sauce. [92/4071]

dress

2009-06-08T14:39:00.004+09:00

I bought this dress yesterday, because I have to attend my friend's wedding party on July.

I went to shop with my friends, and looked for a nice dress. It was difficult for me to find nice one, because I have never attended a wedding party. But my friends, Yumi and Aiko gave me some advice, so I could buy this dress and stole. They became my favorite goods!

But I should buy bag and pumps for this dress. I think that a black or pink-gold is good for this one, because the stole is pink-gold, and the dress has not only black but also a part of pink under the black.

If you have good ideas, please tell me![120]

I love okonomiyaki! I hate spider!

2009-06-05T00:12:00.009+09:00

Today, I ate okonomiyaki (a meat or seafood and vegetable pancake) at ●ai●on●i with my young sister and my friend Chinami! ●ai●on●i is famous restaurant as good okonimiyaki, and I like it.

When we sat down at the table, and enjoyed talk, Chinami found terrible one. It was big spider!!

I think that the spider was about 15cm. Of course, we hate spider, and we moved to another table.

After we moved, we had good time and good okonomiyaki:) It was very fun time, and I want to have dinner with sister and friends again.

For example, the sandal that I bought is 1480 yen. It is so reasonable!

Shimamura is famous shop in Japan, because a famous fashion model recommended the shop on the TV programs and fashion magazines.

And hydrangea is used as decoration of foods in this season. The leaf is used as decoreation of Japanese food, and the petal is used too. When I ordered cake in cafe, there was some petals of it on the cake. It was very cute!

But, you shouldn't eat them! The leaf of hydrangea has poison. I think that the petals don't have poison. [113]

Book Review 1-08 [kipper the Clown]

2009-05-29T00:46:00.005+09:00

I read this book, the title is Kipper the Clown.

This is my favorite series, and I choose it because the cover is cute.

Children held circus, and they played a lot of nice circus shows. Kipper was a clown, Chip was a strong-man, and William and Biff did gymnastics. It was a good circus.

The story remands me of my memory of circus. When I was a child, I went to the big circus with my family. There were a lot of exciting shows, for example, there were motorcycle show, a flying trapeze, and animal show. It was very exciting time, and I want to go to the circus with my family again.

BookReview 1-07[Scarecrows]

2009-05-29T00:12:00.005+09:00

I read this book, the title is "Scarecrows". It is story of my favorite series.

Biff and Chip who main character in this series planted seeds in their garden. But, the birds ate the seeds! Then Biff and Chip had a nice idea, it is making a scarecrow. They made a boy scarecrow, named Fred. Then, the magic key began to glow, and the magic took them in another world.

In the world, Fred is alive, so he could move and speaking! There were some scarecrows in the world, and they held dance party for scarecrows. Biff and Chip couldn't join to the party, because they are human. But Fred had an idea, so they colud join the party dressed like a scarecrow.

They had a good time, it was very exciting party. After they came back home, Biff and Chip made a girl scarecrow. There are two scarecrows in their garden, and protect their plants.

To tell the truth, I didn't like scarecrows before I read this story, because Japanese scarecrow is very fearful! I think that most of Japanese scarecrows have only head, and don't have their body. It is very fearful.

I want Japanese scarecrows change into nice one like Fred.[204/3376]

2009-04-24T15:47:00.006+09:00

I introduce my treasures in this essay. I have a lot of treasures, and I can’t choose my best one, because every treasure has memories.
I show you two treasures from my treasure. They are my key case, and a necklace.

This is my favorite key case, so it is one of my treasures. I was given it by my boss and colleagues of my part time job, when I resigned from there.

Ms. K selected it for me. She has good sense, of course, I like it very much! The color is shining black, and it has nice design. The brand is PATRICK COX. I did’t know the brand until I got it. Now, I like PATRICK COX, and I want to get a wallet of the brand.

The key case has my memory of my part time job. I worked there about 2 years with same peoples, and everyone is older than I. But we were good friends.

Ms. A always told me her memory of stay at abroad. She loves go to abroad, and she has stayed in a lot of country. For example, she told me her memories of Spain, Korea, Turkey and many places. Her topics were very interesting! The key case reminds me of these memories once in a while. It is one of my favorite goods and treasure, so I will use carefully.

Next, I will show you a necklace. My boyfriend gave me this necklace as a souvenir of Okinawa. Before he left Kumamoto for Okinawa, he said “I will not buy souvenir, because the trip is business.” I understood, and I didn't expect it.

But when he came back, he gave it to me. It was a necklace made from coral. I was very happy to received it and know his tender heart. It is my treasure! I will wear it carefully.[311/1496]

Beautiful rose

2009-04-24T00:15:00.007+09:00

Book Review 1-03 [The Flying Elephant]

2009-04-23T23:47:00.004+09:00

I read this book; it is “The Flying Elephant”. I choose it from a lot of books, because I thought that the title is funny, and the illustration of cover is cute.

Have you ever seen a flying elephant? I have never seen it. Of course, the flying elephant is not real elephant. It is balloon of a supermarket.

When children went to supermarket, the elephant is on the top of building. But bad storm came, and strong wind blew elephant away. After that, when children went to school, the elephant was in the school! It was fat elephant, and children laughed whenever they see it. But, finally, it became flat elephant rather than slim elephant. That’ why a man let the air out of balloon.

When I finished reading this book, I think that I want to see a flying elephant! If I see it, I will take a picture and movie, and show you in this blog:) But, as you know, it is impossible that a real elephant is flying. Moreover, I have never seen a balloon of elephant in Japan. It seems that it is difficult for us to see flying elephant. [195/1020]

a lot of foods♪ karaoke♪

2009-04-16T18:51:00.002+09:00

I went to karaoke with my friend on Saturday. We met in front of PARCO at 7:00 p.m.
Then, we were very hungry!! That’s why we went to restaurant before karaoke.

We entered Toritetsu, because wanted eat yakitori (a grilled chicken). It was first time that I go to toritetsu. I ordered cassis-orange, zosui, and a lot of kusiyaki! Whenever I drink liquor, I drink cassis-orange, because I love it. All foods what I ate were very good!! I want to go there again.

After we ate dinner, went to el-notes (a karaoke shop in downtown). We ate foods of the shop, salad, pasta and green tea parfait. And I drunk liquor again, it was a coconut pineapple. It was good! But I like better cassis orange than it.

I sang my favorite songs, Donten (a cloudy sky), anataMAGIC(your MAGIC), and songs of Acid Black Cherry. It was very fun time!! I want to go there again. [157/702]

Oden

2008-10-10T01:07:00.002+09:00

Today's my dinner was my favorite food! It is Oden(おでん). It is food that Japanese people eat in winter season. When we cook it, we use a lot of ingredients. For example, we use Daikon (Japanese white radish), shirataki (like a noodle), chikuwa (a tube-shaped fish paste cake), beef, and many so on.

Ingredients are not same every families. In my family, we sometimes use horsemeat instead of beef. The horsemeat is very good like the beef.

In Oden’s ingredients, I like Daikon very much!! At my today’s dinner, I ate it about 4~5!! It was very good.

Recently, we can eat Oden light heartedly, because it is sold in a lot of convenience stores. If you want to eat Oden suddenly, you can buy it at convenience store like a Lowson. Its price are 70~150yen (maybe).

Though I can eat Oden whenever I want to it because of convenience store, I prefer my home’s Oden to convenience’s one.

I will eat it as my breakfast. (170)

Excel class

2008-09-26T19:13:00.003+09:00

I have a class of Microsoft Office Specialist 4times a week. I’m taking Excel class. After I have finished university's class, I learn it. The class has 3hours. It starts 6 pm, and its end is 9 pm, so I always very sleepy during the class.

MOS (Microsoft Office Specialist) has various parts, for example, Word specialist and expert, Excel specialist and expert, and Power Point. I have passed a test of Word Specialist by last summer vacation. It was a little difficult for me to understand how to use Word. It has a lot of functions, so I had to remember the way of use. At the test, I missed only one question, therefore I couldn’t get perfect result. I was sad, because I have expected to get perfect!! I believed that I can, because I have studied hard.

Until I start Excel class, I thought I’ll get perfect at test of Excel specialist, but now, I don’t have confidence. I think that Excel is more difficult than Word. I can’t remember how to use Excel.

But, I have to take the test on 10/11. So I should study hard. I want perfect result of Excel for my job hunting!

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday has no class, so I will study by myself in my home.

ultraviolet rays

2008-07-29T16:09:00.000+09:00

I bought a parasol at you-me town in Hikari-no-mori. The parasol was reasonable. It was 1980 yen. Though it is reasonable, it has some good points!!

First, the design is good. The color is black with small flower paint. It has not only black, but also has white lace, so it is cute.

Next, the parasol has special cloth. The cloth can cut 99 % of ultraviolet rays.　It is same materials with fireman’s clothes, so it is high quality.

But the high quality material has a week point. It looks a little but, because of the color is silver. I think that the look is not cute. I want the materials’ look to improve more cute design.

Although the parasol has a bad point, I use it everyday. It has me take a comfortable walk. It is very useful goods for summer. If you always walk in the daytime, please use it for protect your skin. [157/6132]

hard days

2008-07-10T14:12:00.001+09:00

I’m very sleepy and tired now, because I had a lot of assignment so I couldn’t sleep well.
I have written some report since yesterday. I went to Jiyu kukan (a internet cafe) with my boyfriend and I wrote report without reading some comic books! It was very hard to can’t read comic book, because I had a lot of comic which I want to read. My boyfriend read Hagaren in front of me!! I was angry with him. [79]

Medical problem

2008-07-04T20:07:00.002+09:00

I’ll write about serious topic today. I often discuss serious social topic because my boyfriend like to discuss them. I will write one of them in this post.

My boyfriend is pharmacist.
He is very noisy about medical problems.
He says…

Japanese insurance need be used for Japanese medical. Money for medical help for patient’s family members to release ‘care person’, and a hospital will be able to employ many medical staffs.
Generally speaking, a patient brings the family inconvenient life and very expensive medical expenses.
If the family takes care of the patient in home, the family will feel inconvenient life.
And one of the family members is given responsibility.
If the medical staff cares the patient in hospital, the family will take very expensive medical expense.

And the family pays much money for the family member.
When we hope to solve two things at the same time, Japanese insurance is very important. Japan should stop to waste the money, and change to use insurance. Japan can help many families.

Subsidiary, the hospitals employ many medical staff.
The medical staff uses much money in the local area. The money can fill over the society.
As a result, many people in local area make much money.
And he always speech “Japanese insurance is good system, but Japan is high tax and low welfare. It is very very sad story.”

It is difficult for me to understand for certain his ideas. But I think that taking care of a patient will have a lot of troubles. It will take expensive costs just he said.

However, my opinion is the opposite. I think that we shouldn’t depend on insurance.
In our time, I don’t have the full confidence of various Japanese systems. Probably, a lot of people have same opinion. We always hear injustice of company and government system on TV programs or newspaper. So, I can’t confidence in them. I think that I should care of me by myself.

Of course, insurance is very important for our life, but, we shouldn’t too depend on it.
I will tell my boyfriend my opinion. We will discuss this next our date. [358/5872]

The old man Z

2008-07-03T14:04:00.001+09:00

Do you know The old man Z (roujin Z)?
It is a cartoon film. I watched it yesterday, because my boyfriend recommended it for me. He said ‘It’s very interesting movie! You should it!’

However, I don’t think that the story is so interesting. It is a little sad and painful story, I think. It is difficult for me to explain the content of story for you, so, please watch it, if you are interested in. There is DVD at TUTAYA. [81/5514]

McDonald's

2008-07-03T13:22:00.000+09:00

I love hamburger! Especially, I like McDonald’s food. I eat it about twice a week. I always order “value set”. It has main hamburger, fried potato and drink. You can choose hamburger and drink that you want in “value set”. I often eat shrimp-hamburger and “Quarter-Pond Deluxe”.

“Quarter-Pond Deluxe” is limited the area that I can buy it. The limited area is Kumamoto prefecture. I live in Kumamoto Prefecture now, so I can eat it whenever I want to eat. It is bigger than the other and has a lot of vegetables.

When I’m a bit hungry, value set is too much. So I order “snack pair”. It is very reasonable, it cost only150 yen!! And it has about four pair menu (I forget exactly menus). I always eat hamburger pair. It is normal hamburger and coffee set.

But snack pair is sold only after 14:00. The time is called “snack-time”. When you want to eat it, you should go to McDonald’s after 14:00.

I like hamburger, but, recently, I think that I should reduce the number of times of eat it, because it seems that McDonald’s food has a lot of fat. If I continue to eat it, I will more fat in the future. I want to change the number of times of eat from twice a week into twice a month.

Please let me know your favorite McDonald’s menu, and another good hamburger shop you know. [240]

newspaper

2008-06-30T21:13:00.000+09:00

Do you read newspaper everyday? Recently, I always read it every morning. I bought YOMIURI SHIMBUN.

I think that newspaper has a lot of information, and they are very important for our life.

Certainly, it requires a lot of time to read all articles. Of course, I haven’t enough time to read all, so I read only head line. I can understand the content of information only headline. If I find interest articles, I read the whole passage.

If you feel difficult to read newspaper, please read only headline. [89]

my e-mail adress

2008-06-30T19:33:00.002+09:00

I want to change my e-mail address, because I am tired of present my e-mail address.

I have used it since I was high school student. So, I have used for 5 years.

And I have another reason. Recently, a lot of spam mails come in my mail box. I’m very disgusted with them.

I want to change it, but I can’t change it right now, because it is trouble for me to tell a new e-mail address for a lot of people.

And I can’t hit on a nice address. I want to make simple and cool new address. If you have good ideas, please let me knowJ [110/5104]

agar!

2008-06-30T18:51:00.001+09:00

Recently, I eat agar everyday. Do you know agar? It is called Kanten(寒天) in Japanese.

It has a lot of dietary fibers and moreover, it is a low-calories food. So it was often eaten as diet food.

I eat it for a diet, and of course, I love agar. I have loved it since I was child, because it is my memorial food.

My grandmother often made sweets made of agar and milk. It was agar of milk (Gyunyu-kanten). It was so good, I loved my grandmother’s it.

Now, I’m adult, so I can make it by myself. It is very easy to cook agar of milk. So, I’m going to introduce the recipe.

First, you should prepare agar (250~400yen), milk (150~300yen/1000ml), sugar and fruit (If you want add in it)

Next, you have to boil water (300ml) with milk (300ml), sugar in a same stew pan.

After all materials have mixed and melt, you can move it in mold. Then, you can add some fruits, if you want to eat. And keep it in a refrigerator until it gets cold.

After 2~3 hours later, you can eat so good agar of milk. If you didn’t add sugar, it is low-calories.

I make only water agar sometimes, it is very low-calories. But it is not good so much, I ate it with syrup. If you hate milk, please try to make non-milk agar.

Today, I will make agar of milk with orange. So I will post the pictures in this blog. [254]

I bought a book!

2008-06-27T19:18:00.003+09:00

I bought a book at maruzen. It is No Longer Human(人間失格 Ningen Shikkaku).

This book is Japanese novel by Osamu Dazai. It published in 1948, so old novel for me.

I have wanted to read this book, so I can’t help buying it, when I found it.

And only now, the cover is special. It is so cool.

I’m going to read it before I get sleep everyday. If you have interesting it, please try to read it! [82/4740]

2008-06-27T09:00:00.002+09:00

I want to travel around Japan. Especially, I want to go Okinawa now. Most of friends have been to Okinawa by school trip, but I couldn’t go Okinawa, because of 9.11.
If I can go Okinawa, first, I want to eat Okinawa’s foods. There are a lot of wonderful foods, I watched on TV. I want to go famous tacos restaurant, located Kokusai street.

Next, I want to swim at Okinawa. I think that Okinawa's beach is beautiful! [79]

2008-06-27T08:59:00.001+09:00

I took part in mixi yesterday. Do you know mixi? It is web site that people can communication with internet.
People can’t use this site without friend’s invite.

But, now, I have a problem. I have received spam mail since I used mixy. During I sleep, a lot of spam mail came my e-mail address. I’m very angry now! [47]
