Summer Vacation

 I can't write everything I am going to do during summer vacation

 because I'm planning to do so many things. Hanging out with friends, having parties, travels....etc.

I'm very excited to do those, especially, a trip to Korea!!!

I'm planning to go to Korea in middle of August with my best friend.

She has a friend who lives in Korea,so we are going to stay at her house

and she will take us to a lot of fun places!!

I've never been to Korea, so I'm very excited  to visit there!!

I'm also plannning to get a diving licence,going back to my home town,

and visit my friends all over Japan:)

I hope I will be able to go to Okinawa for a week and visit Las Vegas again,

but I don't think I can make enough money for that:(((

anyway, I can't wait for summer vacation!!!

I can't wait to hang out with my friends in English 5!!!

BBQ and Somen Nagashi!!!haha

Fukushima

Is the environmental problem worse than we know?

I think it is not worse than we know because it seems the environmental is not as bad as we are thinking.The reason why I think like that is because many people do not know the truth. I watched a news which had an interview to ask  foreigners about Fukushima and they said that radioactivity was all over Japan.They think that all Japanese people were exposed to radiation. That is not truth because people in different places like us were totally safe. I think many Japanese people who are far from Tohoku area do not know the truth like foreigners too. We should care about what is going on now and know the truth.

Not a Normal Zoo Day

 It all started on a nice sunny day last April. All the kids in school were excited to be going to the zoo, but I was especially excited. I love animals and picnics, and going to the zoo is having both at the same time.

At the zoo, we got to see different animals in their cages and some of them were getting fed by their guards. Each of us had a favorite animal, and mine was the Elephant.

It was all going well, until Sam decided to mess around with the lock on the monkeys' cage and then...all the monkeys came out. They suddenly began to hurt people. They climbed on people, pulled their hair and tried to get food from them. It was terrible.

When a monkey tried to take my bag, I remembered that I had a bunch of bananas  for lunch.I threw it into the monkey's cage and all the monkey went back to the cage to get bananas.Then the guard locked the cage at once. My bananas were gone, but I became a hero of the zoo:)

The End.

Differences of Opinion

  I don't understand why most of my guy friends are crazy about sport team

like baseball or soccer.

They talk about their favorite sport team at least once a day.

Sometimes, they are complaining how their favorite team did last day.

They don't talk like they always do when they are talking about it.

They talk like their life is over or something like that.

I think it is everything for them.They seem to be out of control.

It is not annoying. It is funny to listen.

But I just do not understand how much crazy they are about their favorite sport team.

These Days

  I'm enjoying my university life these days
 because I'm hanging out with my friends a lot:)

They are my best friends.

Yu,Haruka,me,and Shoko.

We went to karaoke with them for Haruka's birthday:)

I went dinner with my friends from English class 5:)

I had so much fun with them!!!

We should hang out again soon!!!

I had dinner with Azuki, Risa and Yui last Friday:)

It was the first time to hang out with them.

I love them so much<3

And I got a new job last Thursday.

So I will be busy,but it will be alright.

Where I Live

  I moved from Hiroshima to here,Hyogo on April 1st to go to university.
So I really haven't known what is around my apartment yet ,but I know that there are
parks,convenience stores, a post office, TUTAYA, Karaoke, and many restaurants.
The apartment is about 10 mitute-walk from Tukaguchi station.( I don't know why I live
so far away from Kwansei Gakuin University!)
Only university or college students live in the apartment. I sometimes hear someone's
talk when I'm going up to my room and I can expect that they are going to have a party
night from their conversation.haha

  Living by myself  is not fun as much as I thought, because I have to cook,clean,
do laundry, and all the stuff  after I get back from school with tiredness. But still I'm
enjoying it:)  I don't think my room is comfortable, but you can come to my room if you
want to:)

A Movie I Like

  When I was in America, I watched many moveis with my host family.

My favorites were "Hang Over", "The Proposal",and"The Ugly Truth".

But I am going to write about the one you may not know in this blog.

The title of the movie is "Tooth Fairy".

Do you know what a tooth fairy is?

That is a fairy who takes children's milk teeth after they fall out

and leave a coin under their pillow:)

There was an ice hockey player who had no dreams.

He has always discouraged young player's hopes and children's dreams.

One day, when he said that there was no "tooth fairy" in a real world,

he was sentenced to work as a tooth fairy.

He got real wings and a real magic wand!!!

At first,he could not believe that he became a real tooth fairy

 because he did not believe their existence.

But he began to have dreams as he worked as a tooth fairy,

and more,he began to rediscoover his own dreams.

I liked watching how he was becoming a good man!

  

Are Cellphones Killing Honeybees?

Summary:There is a fact that the world honeybee population is decreasing around the globe. Scientists have various possible explanations for why that is happning, such as cold weather, genetically-modified crops, and viruses. They have another explanation now and it is mobile phones. Swiss researchers have done a study which is about the relationship between mobile phones and the honeybee population. One of the researchers, Daniel Favre says his study shows a relationship between the growing use of cellphones and declining bee populations. He recorded the bees' sounds with mobile phones in the hive. He observed what the bees were like when the mobile phones were active and inactive.  From this observation, it is discovered that the bees weren't disturbed by mobile phones that were inactive or on standby. However, active and ringing cellphones confused the bees and caused them to fly away from and leave the hive.  That shows that honeybees are sensitive to electromagnetic fields generated by the mobile telephones.

Comment: This news was very interesting to read.I was surprised at this article because I did not expect there was a relationship between mobile phones and the honeybee population. I think we should think about other animals or insects even though mobile phones are indispensable for us today. 

Golden Week

 How was your Golden Week? Even though  we did not really have it this year,

 mine was awesome. I went to shopping and hung out with my friends a lot.

My friend came to Hyogo from Gunma on May 3rd. He is one of my frineds

that went abroad with me.I was  so excited when I saw him because it was

the first time to see him in a year. We enjoyed  Takoyaki party together.

We went to Karaoke and sang all the night. He went back to Gunma on May 4th.

 My another friend came to Hyogo from Hiroshima, which is the city where

I'm from, on May 5th. She is my high shool friend and stayed with me for 4 days.

That 4days were awesome. We met other friends from high school who are in

Osaka and talked a lot. I felt like I went back to high school:)

  I was kind of sad when I found out  I could not go back to Hiroshima and see

my family and all my friends in Hiroshima, but I had so much fun with my friends

during Golden Week this year:)

My Childhood

                          I was born in Hiroshima on January 11th,1992. I was a really little girl.

This is my favorite picture. I like how I was sitting on the chair.

I liked ridng a tricycle.

                                             I went to "Ryusen Kindergardwn" for 4 years.

me and my best friend,Sakina

I was too active so I remember that I got hurt many times when I was little.

I liked to watch "Anpanman" more than "sailor moon".

My dream was to be a mermaid.

I went to "Fuchuchuo elementary school" for 6 years.

I was always singing.I still have a song that I recorded with my friend.

It's so funny to listen.

I started running when I was 10. I participated "Ekiden" every year till I graduate.

My dream was to be a flight attendant.

I remember lots of memories in middle school and high school and I cannot write everything.

So please ask me about it if you want to know:)
