Evaluation

I enjoyed writing blog in this class.
I emdeavored to write sentences paeticularly.
So I attended to When, Who, What and How.

I also emdeavored to stick pictures.
I am happy if you understand the content of my blog by pictures.

I couldn't enjoy second life at the beggining because I couldn't slip out of my own land.
Howeber in January 6th, myfriend,Yumi Arai sent me a teleport to Richardson's house and finally I could meet my classmates in second life.
I was very happy!!!
At last I can figure out the pleasure of second life.

Lastly, I enjoyed IE seminar!!!
Thank you very much.

I'm sad now.

I heard a sad news yesterday.
It said that one of the most famous Japanese singer, Ayumi Hamasaki can't hear her left ear.

Last year she felt that her left ear was getting hard to listen something.
However it was too late when she went to the hospital.
The doctor said it was impossible to recover from her ear completely as long as she continues singer.
Then she decided to continue singing up to her limits.

When I was twelve years old, I encountered a song "Boys & girls" sang by Ayumi Hamasaki.
Its song was so fresh for me such as melody, lilycs that I used to listen this song.

Five years elder cousin, Juri has been a big fan for her for over seven years.
She often goes to her concert so she is shocked this news.

Perhaps her right ear will not work in the future and she will have to quit singer.
But I want her to continue singing up to the limits of her body.

Disney Land

In January 4th, I went to Disney Land with my friend Yoko Miyama.
The purpose of that day was to take pictures with Disney characters because they put a corsage on their chest due to New Year's Day.

At first we took pictures with Daisy, three pigs, Minnie Mouse and Donald at the entrance and Toon Town.
It was so crowded with people that we troubled to take pictures.

Next, we saw a musical show "One Mans Dream Ⅱ"
I was impressed by it though I saw it many times.

Lastly, we saw a parade "Disney Dreams On Parade Movin'on".
It was my favorite parade.
Its parade introduces each area of Disney Land.
For example Donald, Stitch and many friends of jungle introduce Adventure Land, Buzz light year introduces Tommorow Land and Minnie Mouse and some princesses introduce Fantasy Land.
Especially I like Minnie Mouse wearing a costume of fairy very much.

2008

A Happy New Year!!!
2008 has begun.
This year I want to study many things not only English but also many things
and I want to experience many, many things.
I wish 2008 will become a happy year for us.

TITANS Day

In December 28th, I ate dinner with my precious friends who were the member of cheerleading club when I was a high school student.
It was an annual event to eat dinner the eb\nd of the year or the New Year.
I like them very much!!!
I spent almost high school days with them so that we are close friends.
On that day, of course, we talked various things from the then cheerleading to each university life.
After dinner we tool print club stickers.
It also became an annuak\l event for us.
This time, we took it with cheerleading uniform!!!
We changed the cloths in the print club sticker's machine and took it three times continously.
What a troublesome customers we were!!!
But we could made a good memory.

December 23rd

In the night of December 23rd, my yosakoi club danced at the Shinjuku hiat because we were requested to dance at the Christmas party of Lions Club.
It was my first time to dance such as exclusive place so that I was tremendously nervous.
However when we danced at the party, we scored a great success.
Everyone who came to the party was so kind that they beated time with their hands and said "Encore!".
Through their cheers, we could danced five songs.
I enjoyed dancing.

book

Yesterday I bought new book.
The title was "Glory of team Batista".

The story:
At famous hospitals in affiliation with university, recent three Batista surgery in a row failured. The performae was all same man. Is it mere accident?
Is it mistake of performer? Or is it murder?

At first, Do you know the Batista surgery?
It's very difficult sugery that cut one thid left artrium of hypertrophied heart and
make the shape of heart.
The difference between a heart transplant and Batista is that a heart transplant needs others heart however Batista perform surgery only your own heart.
So small children can perform Batista surgery.
(A heart transplant of under 15 years old is forbidden in Japan)

This novel is very interesting!!!
I hardly read books usually but now I read it anywhere anytime.
If you search something to read, I recommend you "Glory of team Batista".

meeting

Yesterday I had a meeting of Yosakoi club at Takabanobaba.
I and other members talked about the costume of next year
because I belong to costume department.

What we talked yesterday was about trousers of men.
Last year men wore hakama as a costume
but most men said that hakama was so cool but wasn't suit to dance.
Therefore next year most people wants to wear slender pants.
And we talked that which is suit skinny pants or half-pants+spats for a long time.

However, at last, we couldn't decide which was better.
So we have to reconcider it on Wednesday.

Krispy Kream

On Tuesday my sister brought some doughnuts of "Krispy Kream".
It was my first time to eat them so that I was tremendously excited.
When I ate a first niddle of it, I was moved!!!
I had never eaten such a delicious doughnut.
What a soft doughnuit it was!!!
I ate several kinds of doughnuts but my best was ordinary one.
I thanked for my sister because she waited 40 minutes to buy them.
When I saw a long queue of people in front of "Krispy Kream" in Golden Week this year, I despaired to line it because I heard that it took 2 hours to get doughnuts.
So my dream has come true for 8 months!

Tokyo Hibana

In December 9th, I had Christmas Party of Yosakoi circle in Shibuya's night spot.
About 60 members came and ate, drank and played some performances such as band, dancing "high school musical", tap dancing, dancing with geta.

The picture below is band.
They played "Glamorous Sky".


The man over there sang to his own guitar accompaniment "Namonaki Uta" by Mr.Children.
He sang directing the member of Yosakoi club but I thought his feeling was too heavy for us・・・


He is the head of 2007.
He posed something but I can't undersrand. Ahaha.


I din't perfome something but I enjoyed christmas party very much!!!

furisode

In December 9th, I took pictures of Coming of Age Day.

My furisode was my cousin's.

When I was dressing the furisode, I was so surprised at tightening obi very hard.
I was rolled about 5 or 6 obi and I couldn't breath peoperly.

But as I wore the kimono, I could tighten my back naturally.

In January 14th, 2008 I will wear the komono again.
I worry that I could stand for tighten kimono.

Christmas Special Dinner

On Wednesday, I went to Disney Sea to have Christmas Special Dinner with my friend, Yoko Miyama.
Have you ever eaten rich cuisine at Disney Resort?
It was the first time for me to eat rich dinner at Disney Sea so I was very excited.

We ate at "Ristorante di Canaletto" and it costed only 3000 yen!!
I think that it was almost same as drinking at the bar once.

The Christmas Special Dinner that we had contained four dishes.



The first dish was above.
Sorry,I can't remember the name of cuisine.
But I have never tasted such as adult flavor napa cabbage.
It was little bitter.



The second one was above.
Can you figure out what it was?
It was whitefish with white sauce.
It tasted creamy!!
I think ladies like it.



The third one was beif with special sauce.
And it has vegetable inside the bief!!
Its size was not as plenty as I thought.



The last dish was dessert!!!
I was soooooo looking forward to eating dessert!!!!!
Because it shaped Christmas tree of Disney Sea.

Until Christmas day, Disney Sea holds a special show "Candle light Reflections".
In this show, Michey, Minnie and other characters appeares around the christmas tree in the central sea called "Mediterranean Harbor".
And this dessart shapes that christmas tree.

It was too good to eat but tasted very delicious.
I became fortunate mood.

After eating all dish, we had tea and got home.
I could enjoy little before christmas dinner.

LIVE

On Tuesday I went to a live of laughter entertainers with my friend, Minami.
This live is very cheap!!! It cost only 500 yen!!!
Because laughter entertainers who attended the live were all young men.

Today I was looking forward to seeing "Trueman Trueman".
I think most of you don't know them because they have not appear in TV yet.
In the upper picture, A man on the left is Mamoru Nagata(ツッコミ). He is very kind because he e-mails me about the live every month. A man on the left is Mr.Onodera ( I don't kow his first name・・・)(ボケ)

Today's their conte was so fun!!!

After seeing the live, I talked with Trueman Trueman.
when Nagata-san noticed me, he came to me and "Thank you for coming, Ami-chan!!"
I was happy that he remembered my name even though I haven't meet him for three months. I talked with Onodera-san, too.
Their talk was very interesting!!!
I diceded to continue to go their live next year.

Book and Music

In Oral Pretation, I presented to read a picture book this morning.
The book I read was "I like winter" written by Lois Lenski.
When I read at the first time, I didn't notice that Japanese snow man is different from American snow man.
Japanese snow man is 2 steps but American snow man is three steps!!!!
I was so surprised at this fact.
Did you know?

Oral Interpretation was little hard for me but recently I like it.
Today teacher gave us stickers of apple!!!

I introduce you my latest favorite song.
"Senkou Shoujo" sang by Tokyo Jihen

The inctitution of English department.

Yesterday I attended the institution of English department to present the activity of oral Interpretation.
In this institution, I and my classmates sang a around "This is the house that Jack built", read a poem "A Thousand Winds" and sang christmas songs.
I think we could do well!!! Because one of English teachers of English department,Mr. Armstrong praised our performances.
In Oral Interpretation, we had practiced since October because of publication at its institution.
Now I am very happy because I finished to practice them.

Winter

Winter came.
Recently it gets colder and colder.
Everyday I can't part hand cream, gloves and a muffler.
It's too cold for me to get up and leave my bed in early morning.
But I like winter rather than summer!!!!!
Because when I feel hot, I don't want to move even going to nearest convenience store.
In winter There are a lot of my favorite things like hot cocoa, warm clothes,a carprt, gloves, tigh
In particular I am looking forward to seeing illuminations at the street.
Have you ever been to Odaiba in Christmas season?
It's so beautiful!!! Especially huge christmas tree was impressive for me.
Between the middle of December to the beggining of January, Odaiba is held a big event like "Hot Fantasy Odaiba".
If you have a time in winter vacation, I recommend you to visit there.

telephone

Yesterday, I took on phone with my clse friend, Yoko Miyama.
The purpose of phone was to decide which airplane we'll take, shcedule of "chef Mickey", telling me her passpor number・・・・
It was so!! We talked about Florida on the phone.
She is too busy until end of November because she has mid-term test so that
I reseve the tour for two people tomorrow.
It's the first time for me to reserve the tour so I am tense from now!!!

Part time job

I have worked at cutlet restaurant since I entered university.
The restaurant's name is "Shinjuku Suzuya".
It has started work since 1954.
The main dish is "Tonkatsu Chazuke".
Most customers ask it because it's different from cutlet of the normal.
When you eat "Tonkatsu Chazuke", it's already taken a special sauce which based on soi sauce.
When I ate it at the first time, I was surprised at the taste.
Because although I couldn't eat cutlet, I felt that it was so good.
It's soooooooooo delicious!!!
There is value to eat it at least once.
It has big, normal and small sizes, so don't worry women who cant't eat too much.
And at this restaurant, you can have another serving of rice, miso-soup and cabbages many times.

cheerleading

When I was a high school student, I belonged to cheerleading club, TITANS.
Do you know cheerleading?
Maybe most people think that cheerleading is only dancing sport but it is incorrect!!
The main activity of cheerleading is stunts like group exercises.

The picture on the right is stunts.
It's called "Extension".
Stunts have 3 positions.
A person on the top is called "Top".
I was this position, when I was in cheerleading club.
Her job is to pose, jump and balance.
Two person on the bottom are called "Base".
They support top's feet and have to get along very well each other.
A person in behind is called "Spotter".
Her job is to support top's waist and order what to do next.
Stunts is composed by these positions and all position need for cheerleading to accomplish stunt.
At first sight, cheerleading is easy sport but actually it needs muscles, strength and smiles all the time.
Anyway it's very hard sport!!
When I belonged to cheerleading club, I had a difficult time acquiring skills.
However cheerleading is very enjoyable sport at least it's the most enjoyable sport for me.

Recently I'm very busy and very tired.
My house is so far from Fuchinobe campus that only going to school make my body tired.

I have been very sleepy since first period however after school I have a part-time job!!!
What a busy life it is!!


But tomorrow is holiday!!
