Good bye 2006☆

2006 will end soon. Come to think of it, this year I was in four kinds of circumstances.

1. Alberta, Canada

2. Texas, U.S.A

3. Nagasaki, Japan

4. Kumamoto, Japan

2006 came when I was in Canada to visit my friend place during winter break of the school. I visited there from U.S. where I was staying as a student at that time. That was my first travel alone. I flew to Edmonton, Canada from Texas via Phoenix, Arizona at night. So, when I arrived there, it was midnight! I stayed the airport until 5am and went to the bus depot in downtown by using airport bus. After that I took long- distance bus to the place where my friend lived. It took about 8 hours for me to get there!!! I stayed the town for 3 weeks and enjoyed Christmas and New Year days.

After that I went back to Texas and stayed there until June. The spring semester was soooo hard for me...I feel I was studying all the time(>_<) From June to August I was in Nagasaki which is my hometown. I had nothing to do there because I was taking a one- year leave from school to study abroad. In August I came to Kumamoto. I began to work as a part- time worker. Then school began.......

2006 was the most exciting year for me, I think. I'll never have a year like 2006. 2007 will be hard year for me because I have to do job hunting and write graduation thesis. However, I hope 2007 will be a good year as well^^

Drinking with friends☆

I went to restaurant bar to meet friends tonight. They are my best friends when I was in junior high school and we belonged to tennis club. We haven't met for half a year, so we were so excited. We ordered some dishes and they are very good. I ate all of them although I've had curry and rice before at home(^o^; Also we drank and drank! UsuallyI don't drink so much, but I drank this time. We talked about our job, school life, love affair and so on! We'll meet next summar. I'm looking forward to seeing them from now!!!

Going back to my hometown☆

Yesterday was the last day to work this year, and I'm in hometown now. I got home after 10 from part-time job last night and I made dinner. After eating dinner, I listened to some songs, took a bath and used the internet. When I noticed, it was 3am! After that I packed my luggage. It was almost 6 in the morning(*_*) I went to bed right away, but one hour later I had to wake up because of bus schedule...I was extremely sleepy and was feeling dizzy in the morning. So, I slept for 2 hours in a bus. At home I had to clean up our rooms by myself(;^_^) I got tired. That's why, I fell asleep when I was taking a bath. And now..I'm too sleepy to open my eyes. Anyway, I hope my staying here will be a　good chance to feel relaxed from lots of pressure I've been feeling there days!

☆THE BOOKSTORE GHOST☆

Mr. Brown likes ghost books, cats and cheese. So, he opened his own bookstore and he sold only ghost books. The name of the bookstore was Black Cat Bookstore. Then he bought cat which likes cheese, not fish. They lived happily, but there were a lot of mice there.

One day a woman came to the bookstore, but she ran out because she saw mice. And nobody wanted to come to the store. Mr. Brown worried and told the cat to catch all of the mice in three days. However, the cat liked mice. The mice told the cat the bookstore should be scary because this is a ghost bookstore. Then the cat said, "I have a plan!"

One boy was walking by the bookstore, and suddenly some books fell of a shelf. Then a lot of his friends came to the store to see that. They said, "This store has real ghost!" The next day the bookstore was very busy because of a lot of people who wanted to see the ghost. The plan of the cat worked! After all there was only one book left at the store and Mr. Brown was so happy. He asked the cat whether the cat caught the mice or not. The cat took him to the bookshelf. One book fell off, and he knew everything. Now they all live together happily.

I wish we could talk with animals!!!

Having a vaccination☆

I had a vaccination against flu today. The hospital do that only by appointment, so I called them beforehand. I have the vaccination every winter. I' ve caught flu when I was in junior high school. I had the high fever and sore all over for a week! That's why I thought I did't want to have it again at that time.

I don't dislike to have an injection, so I finished it soon. However, the doctor told me one thing...I seem to have gastroptosis! I was very surprised to hear that because I've been thinking that it was only for skinny people. I asked the doctor the reason and I knew that because of a sudden reducing weight^^; The doctor told me that it's not disease, so I don't need to worry about it, but I do care, actually....!!!

☆THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG☆

Once upon a time there was a king and he had seven daughters. The youngest gaughter was delightest of all of them. One day she was playing with her favorite golden ball beside a river. When she threw the boll, it fell into the river and sank down. She began to cry. Then one frog appeared and he told her he could help her. But, he wanted her to eat same plate and sleep togehter instead. She told him it's okay. She thought he would never find the ball. However, the frog came back with her golden ball. She was very happy and ran off for her castle. She forgot her promises with the frog. The frog called princess, but couldn't catch up with her.

When the princess was eating dinner with her family, she heard knocking. But she turned the frog away and slammed the door rudely. She turned pale. The king asked her the reason and she told him everything. The king told her to keep promise with the frog. So, the frog came into the castle and began to eat foods from her plate. She began to cry because she was afraid of the frog. Then she put the frog her bed. Suddenly the frog turned into a handsome prince. The prince told her a evil witch turned him into the frog. They became friends and later they got married. They lived happily.

I thought the princess is rude, and her dad is odd person^^; It's tale, so they are allowed!!! By the way, I think there are lots of princess books which aren't known in Japan.

☆A relaxing day☆

Today I was totally free. I was very happy to have lots of free time for my own! I've been sooooo busy, so I decided not to do anything and just stay home. I woke up nearly noon, and I ate lunch. Then I began to use the computer. When I was accessing some websites, I found movies which have been shown for free. And I noticed one movie which I've watched when I was a freshman. The movie was Gilbert Grape. I didn't like this movie because I liked happy movies at that time. This is too heavy movie for me. I think my friends who watched it together didn't like it either. However this time was different. I was moved and thought a lot about what family is. That's because I took a sociology class last year, I think. I cannot say well how I felt from this movie, but my feeling toward this movie was completely different. Anyway, I liked this movie and I was really glad to watch it again. By the way, there are a lot of movies which is shown for free! I didn't know^^; I'll watch them when I have enough time to do it♪
