Discovering a bakery☆

Yesterday, I went to a discount shop with my friend on my way home from sign language class. I supposed that I would buy breakfast and milk. But, after all I bought shampoo, conditioner, tea with lemon and cleaner...I always buy what I didn't expect to buy(>_<)

After shopping, we found a mobile bakery outside of the discount shop. The bakery was selling a lot of kind of melon bun(not only normal one but also with chocolate chip, maplesurup, teacondenced milk, custard cream and so on!). They looked very nice, but I had had dinner already. So, I was about to going back. However, I found the bakery was selling tapioca-mango juice!! As you know I love mango and...the more I like tapioca so much!!! I had had tapioca-milk tea only, so it was new for me. Of course I ordered the juice. My friend ordered it too. The juice was good. We liked it. But, I found that the tapioca was quite hard...^^; I couldn't believe that. Well, taste was good, so it was alright. After I finished drinking, I noticed the bakery was closing up. I thought I might not see that bakery again because it's mobile and I've never seen it before. So I bought one maple syrup bun. Later I knew that the shop comes every Thursday...the bun was also good!!! It was nice meeting with the bakery^^b

☆LIZZLE ZIPMOUTH☆

Last week, I read Double Act and I really liked it, so I decided to read books of Jacqueline Wilson as much as I can from now!!! I'm very excited to choose her books. So, I read LIZZIE ZIPMOUTH this week. The illustration of cover and the title looked very interesting for me.

Lizzie is heroine of this book. The story begins with the scene she is getting her second step dad. She had her real dad, but he stopped living with her and her mum and didn't want to see them anymore. After that she got her first step dad. He was nice and friendly at first, but he began to shout at her and her mum. They left him and they have been living by themselves in very small flat. Lizzie liked their own life so much. However, her mum met her second dad, Sam. Lizzie had to move and live with Sam and his two sons. They are having fun but Lizzie didn't like them. Especially she couldn't believe Sam. She were thinking that he would change soon as her first step dad. And Lizzie decided not to say a word to anyone, even for her mum. That's why Jake, Sam's second son, began to call her "Lizzie Zipmouth".

One day they visited Sam's grandma's house. She is Great-Gran for Lizzie. She didn't look so friendly when Lizzie met her for the first time. Lizzie found the there are huge amount of dolls inside Great-Gran's house. Lizzie liked dolls, so she had great interest in it. Later Great-Gran asked Lizzie to speak up. She told Lizzie that she can do it if she really wants to. At that time, her tongue and teeth began to move and she told her some words! A few days later, Sam suggested that he took Lizzie to Great-Gran's house again and she visited her. She enjoyed a lot and also talked with her. She really liked to visit her. And later, Lizzie spoke up in front of their family finally. All of them were very surprised and looked at her. They were very glad to hear that. Also Lizzie came to like them gradually. However, one night Great-Grand got very bad ill and had to be in hospital. When Lizzie went to hospital to see her, she couldn't speak and walk. It took 3 months to learn how to walk and didn't get completely better. But now she was cheerful as before and did a lot of things with help. When Lizzie and Great-Gran bought a beautiful big china doll, Great-Grand named her Elizabeth, and that was Lizzie's real name. She was very very happy! Her mouth totally unzipped!!!

Lizzie decided not to talk to anyone. I can understand her. I think she had bad memories about her real dad and step dad, so she couldn't believe people(adult). Also she wanted to know her mum her feeling. However her mum couldn't notice it. She told Lizzie to stop being silly. I think Lizzie's mum should be more thoughtful. She is too insensitive. So it was very good chance to meet Great-Gran for Lizzie. She could open herself to their family by meeting Great-Gran. There are a lot of children who are in the same situation as Lizzie's in. So, this story made me think about this kind of problem the more.

Mango pudding☆

These days I found mango pudding at the supermarket, and I bought one. It can be called "Big Challenge" for me because I don't like tropical fruits. That's why, I've never had interests in tropical fruits until that time, but I was attracted to the yellow color of mango. I don't know why! But, I was afraid that it would not good as the brown sugar candy^^; However, this challenge has succeeded!!!!! I like that pudding so much. So, I want to eat real mango now...but where on earth can I find mango?! I've never seen it at the supermarkets or department stores. Perhaps...isn't mango in season??? I will try to find one, but please tell me if you know something about mango! "MANGO WANTED"!!!!!!!!!!

Sign language class☆

I had a sign language class yesterday. We usually have class on Thursday night. I've been learning it for nearly 3 years and it's one of my biggest hobbies now. We usually have talking with teacher and members over eating sweets, snacks and tea and so on. We've been learning some words and practiced them before, but now we just talk by using these words and sentences. It's fun. However, we cannot just continue lesson like that. We have to improve more. So, we decided to join new group, who learn sigh language like us, from next month. First, we are going to their class and decide whether we continue to go there or not. Well, I'm pretty excited to join them now!!!

☆DOUBLE ACT☆

As same as last week, I chose a book of Jacqueline Wilson this week. I like her books. They're easy to understand and can learn something from them. The title of the book is Double Act.

Ruby and Garnet are twins, and they are bestest best friend. However, Ruby is active girl and Garnet was shy and quiet. They are very very different in that point. Their(actually, it should be called Ruby's) dream is being a great actress. They've lived with their Dad and grandma happily. Their mum passed away three years ago. They have been missing her. One day, they found a account book at their home. They decided to write down anything they want on it. The writings are what we read in this book, Double Act.

One day their dad brought one lady, whose name is Rose, to their house. She is his girlfriend!!! Ruby and Garnet didn't like me at all...even they hated her! Also their grandma didn't like her so much. After that, their dad began to move to country to open his own bookstore. So, their life began to change a lot. They had to leave their home, their school and friends. Also they had to say good-bye to grandma because she decided to live by herself in apartment. They were sad and didn't want to move out, but they had no choice. Ruby and Garnet hated their new life. They couldn't get used to new school either. Sometimes they had trouble with gangs at school.

Ruby had a big dream...being actress! And she found big chance to be a actress on newspaper one Saturday. It was audition for girl twins. It was what she wanted! Ruby asks Garnet to join together. Garnet doesn't like show up in front of a lot of people, so she told Ruby that she didn't want. But after all she couldn't refuse. They practice for it a bit. And on the audition day, they went to London by themselves in the early morning without saying anything about it to their dad! Ruby did quite good at the audition and she had confidence. But, Garnet got nervous as she was expected and she saw dad was looking at her. She couldn't say anything...and they couldn't pass the audition.

Next Ruby began to think of going to boarding school with Garnet. The school looked very nice, but they wanted to get out from their home and school at country more. Ruby sent letter to the president of the school and they knew that one of them can get a scholarship. They told dad about this plan and they went to take exam. Ruby and Garnet didn't doubt that Ruby would get the scholarship, but actually the one who got it was Garnet. She did really good job in writing essay and academic test. Ruby didn't like it. She jealous of Garnet very very much. Ruby have been thinking she is better than Garnet, so she couldn't stand it. Ruby began to ignore Garnet from that day. Ruby didn't talk to her and listened to her at all. She dressed differently and cut her hair differently. Garnet was thinking about going to the boarding school by herself. She didn't want to go without Ruby, but she decided to go later. The day Garnet leave home for boarding school, finally they could make it up. Ruby missed Garnet very much. They're going to be best twins, Ruby and Garnet forever and ever and ever.

I liked this story very much! I knew the reality of twins and I wish I had twin sister. Their relationship between them is very strong and seems that it'll never break though they have quarrel sometimes. Ruby is aggressive(sometimes too much) and Garnet can be called weak. So, I think Garnet have been doing what Ruby wanted for a long time. Actually she had no her own idea. Therefore, being separate for a while would be good chance to grow up to them. They will learn not to rely on each other so much as before. I liked the ending of this book this time.

Brown sugar candy☆

When I feel like eating sweets, I have brown sugar candies these days. I didn't like brown sugar before. One day I heard that brown sugar is good for our health in some way, so I went to supermarket to buy one. There were too many kinds of brown sugar candies there. All of them looked the same. I saw the companies of them, and I found that one of the companies is in my city. I chose that one. I picked one from bag and I threw it into my mouth...the taste was very good! I liked that very much. That's why I kept buying that one until the other day.

I found out I finished all candies yesterday, and I dropped in at supermarket on my way home. Unfortunately, the one I always buy was out of stock. So I found another one. It seemed to be good. After I got home, I tried one right away. However....it was awful(>_<) I nearly shouted " What's this?!". Therefore I asked my friend that whether she wanted it or not, but she told me she didn't want. Hum...I can just throw it away, but it seems that I waste of money. I think it will work out all right later!!!

Invitation to Wedding☆

I received a letter of invitation to wedding the other day. It's for the first time in my life to received it and attend at the wedding. And, I'm soooooo excited about their wedding!!! The bride is my best friend at junior high and our home is very close. I remember the day she emailed me that she got boyfriend. That's the bridegroom. However, I didn't imagine that they would get married at that time! I've met the bridegroom sometimes. He is good guy. I'm really glad that they will be a married couple(^^) By the way, I have to think about clothes, bag and shoes and something like that...but I think it'll be OK. It will be held on December in our hometown. I can't wait that day from now!!!

The Grascals☆

Today The Grascals, country music singer, came to PUK to perform in the afternoon. I've listened to country music sometimes, but I didn't know them. I even haven't heard " bluegrass". Today I knew that they are very famous in country music in US. There were a lot of people from TV station, so it was quite obvious. They began their performance...it was just great!!! Especially, I liked their rhythm. I have country music CD which my friend bought in Texas and gave to me, so I'm going to listen it this weekend\(^0^)/

☆SLEEPOVERS☆

This week I chose this book. The title of it is Sleepovers. The author of this book is Jacqueline Wilson and I heard she is famous as a author of children's literature in UK. I didn't know her at all, but I found illustrations of this book are lovely. Also, I like book for girls, I chose this.

In this story, there are 5 girls whose names are Amy, Bella, Chole, Emily and Daisy. Daisy is a main character. She is a little bit shy and quiet. These girls are all her friends at school. However, Amy and Bella were best friends, and also Chole and Emily was best friends. That's why Daisy was caring about that. They are nice, but Chole is mean girl. Espacially very mean to Daisy because she was new student at their school and she joined them later. That's why Daisy wanted to cut relationship with Chole and wanted to be a best friend of Emily who Daisy liked the best of all.

One day they suggested that everyone have sleepover party at their hoem in their birthday. Of course it sounds fun for everyone, but for Daisy, it wan't. Daisy has older sister whose name is Lily. She had something wrong with her brain when she was born, so she can't walk and speak naturally. Sometimes she cries and screams, so Daisy didn't want them to know about her though she loved her sister. After everyone's oversleep Parties was held, Daisty decides to hold it and invite all of 5 girls. On her birthday, Amy, Bella and Emily came home early and they met Lily, but they didn't say anything bad about Lily. Daisy thought they are very good girls. Later, Chole came home too, but al that time Lily was sleeping. So, Chole didn't meet Lily. Late at night of the day, Chole woke Daisy up to go to restroom. It was dark and they were scared. Suddenly Lily began to scream by hearing their footsteps. Chole thought it must be ghost and she wet herself! The next morning, Chole wasn't at Daisy's home anymore. She had gone back home already. At school, Chole said bad things about Daisy's party, so they complained and told her about her wetting there. Then, she got red and told them that they are not her frined anymore. So, finally Daisy becomes happy and also the other girls become too.

I remembered a lot of memories when I was at elementary school and junior high when I was reading this book. Girl's world was very complicated and hard for me too. Also there were some girls like Chole in class or groups, so I sympathized with them, especially with Daisy. Daisy had quite weak personality at first, but she changed a lot through their conflict and became strong. She grew up. The ending seems to be happy ending for them. I felt happy because Chole was bad girl. However, I think they should have talked more. So all of them might be good friends. It sounds difficult but it's not impossible. Also, for readers who are young, this story should have been like that, I think. Anyway, I enjoyed this book a lot. I want to read this author's book again.

I love ice cream☆

I went to shopping mall with my friends to eat ice cream after school♪ The name of the ice cream shop is " Thirty One Ice Cream". It's very famous chain shop and it came to Japan in 1973. We have more than 5000 shops around the world now.
Anyway, I went there by bicycle. There is one steep slope on our way there, so it was a little bit hard to get there for me(>_<)
In the shop, I was very very excited to see a lot of flavors!!! I took a lot of time to choose one which I want to eat from them. Actually I am planning to eat three kinds of flavors, but friends chose only one. So I hesitated to choose three! However, I regretted that I ate only one flavor...I will eat three flavors next time! Definitely(^-^)b After all I ate " Rocky Road" ice cream. It is chocolate ice cream with marshmallow and almond. I like chocolate, so I liked it. By the way, when I was eating it, I noticed that there are some seasonal flavors. So, next time I want to try some of them. Overall I was very satisfied~~~♪

Last weekend☆

Last weekend I went back to my hometown. It takes us about for 2 hours and half by car from where I live now. My hometown is very famous for its beautiful bay. Also there are some tourist attractions in the city, so a lot of tourists come to the city every year!!!

This time I went back there to take some textbooks for study and see my family. I arrived at my hometown on Saturday noon. I met aunt and ate lunch at restaurant. After that we went home and cleaned up there. It was so messy, so I got tired(>_<) I went to the aunt's house at dinner time and ate dishes which cooked in a pot. I usually eat dinner by myself.....so I enjoyed myself there a lot(^0^) There were cousin who is 17 years old. We were talking for a long time about her school life and my part-time job. It was already 11pm when we finished talking. I wanted to go to bed but I had to study for German class, so I stayed up late at the night. The next day I woke up late in the morning and ate breakfast. I really really wanted to stay there more, but I had to leave my hometown because of part-time job(+_+;)

I will not be able to go back there until New Year's Day, I think. I have to work and study hard until that day. Firstly, I need to finish studying for the German class!!!

My first post!!!

Today is my first day to post in this blog!
It's my first time to blog in English, but I'm sure that it'll be interesting for me(^0^)
Actually I have two blogs on website. The one is for a particularly person, and the other is for everyone on website. No one cannot see the first one except for the particularly person, but you can check the other one if you'd love to! However, you have to find out the blog on website by yourself! So...should it be impossible to find it?! At least for people who know me well, it might be easy to find it.

I forgot to introduce myself to you!

• My favorite foods...low fish, chocolate(all kinds of sweets!), fruits
• My favorite musician...aiko, YUKI
• My favorite things...chatting with people, sign language, eating sweets, sleeping, exercising at home, reading books, listening to music and learning English!

I like English and I'm studying it, but this year I want to begin to learn Chinese if I can afford to do it. I made friends who speak Chinese last year, so I have interests in Chinese language and culture a lot! Well, I try to post as much as I can!!!

Nice to see you all(^^)/
