☆New Year☆

I'd like to talk about New Year.

This year, I had a part-time job for the first time!!
It is sorting of New Year greeting postcards.
The first two days, I worked easily.
And I could make a friend, so I'm happy!
But, I understood that it is more difficult than I thought...

I gradually felt pain in the small of my back...
It was very painful for me.

The mail carriers seemed to be busy, because they have to deliver postcards in spite of New Year's Day.
Because I'm not a employee, I could take a holiday on New Year's Day.
However, I will also work from January 4.

I could have valuable experience, I think!!
Working is not only pleasant but also strict, I understood.

By the way, I will spend the New Year's Day with my family, grandparents, uncle, aunt and cousin♫
I will greet them and eat "Osetiryori", "Ozoni".
I'm from Osaka, so miso of the "Ozoni" which I eat is "Shiromiso"!!
How about you??


Every year, we climb the mountain.
There is a temple at top of the mountain, so we pray to make our wishes there☀
However, as you know, it is said that the last day of the year this year and New Year's Day next year are very cold...possibly it may snow...
So, we have yet to decide whether we will go to climb the mountain.
This picture is the mountain which we climb every year!!
This mountain's name is "Makiosan".
Do you know this mountain?
Have you ever climb this mountain??

I'm looking forward to coming New Year, because I can meet many relatives!!

Everyone!!
Happy New Year!!

Discoveries

I will introduce to you my discoveries!!
I noticed my growth after I entered KG university!haha
My growth is that I can use a computer.

I had not known the way of using a computer.
Therefore, I didn't understand "Power Point", "Word", "Excel" and so on.
When I used a computer, I was in a panic like a this picture.
During spring semester, I was always taught the way of using them by my friends.
I was ashamed of myself...

Autumn semester...
I took the lesson whose name is "computer practice".
I tried to enlarge knowledges of the computer!!

As I learned it, my skills of it grew.
In addition, I became to use "Power Point", "Word", "Excel"...
I was surprised at myself!!ahaha

I think that it is important not to give up!!
Above all else, I will make an effort from now on☆

When I'm 40 years old

I have a plan.
It's that I will stay at Finland, when I'm 40 year's old.
The reason why I want to see an aurora☆
It's not only I want to see it someday, but also I want to live there.

This is my dream that I built my house under an aurora like a picture.
If I live there, I can see it whenever I want.
It's very very happy for me.

However, my dream may not be fulfilled, because the earth has many problems.
Nowadays a lot of countries face the danger of abnormal weather, because of global warmig.


Therefore, the World Conference on Global Commons is held.
In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol was adopted at the conference.
Advanced nations which are the EU, America, Japan and so on have to decrease CO2.
But, America seceded from Kyoto Protocol, so they are out step.

The global warming will worsen more and more, I think.
In addition, arctic and antarctic ices will melt and the surface of the water will rise, because of the global warming.
If these happen, the continebts become to soak and we can't live on the earth.
Then, we have to make an effort to protect the world environment!!

Turn on a light★

Christmas is coming soon...♥*

Did you go to see light a lamp at the center lawn of Kwansei university?
Yesterday, I did!!
There were many people there.
For instance, university students, high school students, junior high school students, neighborhoods and couples♥

We had a candle each other and sang a hymn♪
When lights turned, a great cheer arose!!
It was very very beautiful and a moving sight!!

I can't see it next year, because I have to study abroad.
I had a precious experience, I think♫

Taste and Preferences

I used to play a piano every day♪
However, I can't have times that I play it now, because I'm busy.
For instance, homeworks, preparations for lessons, meeting of circle, and so on.
This situation is sad for me.
I want to play the piano!!

I had learned the piano for 11 years.
I started it when I was 4 years old and resigned when I was 15 years old, because I had to prepare for an examination.


I like classical music, especially Chopin.
I can play his music..."Minute Waltz"(Koinunowarutsu in Japanese), "Nocturne", "Tristesse"(Wakarenokyoku in Japanese).
These are my favorite musics.
When I play the piano, I can feel happy and relaxed.
Even if I have hardship, I can forget it.

Winter vacation is drawing near!!
I can have many times that I play the piano♫
I will try to play "Polonaise in A flat".
This is very difficult to play.
But, I want to play it, so I will make a effort!!



Mreover, I have a thing which I want.
It is playing the clarinet someday☆
I will challenge except the piano!
My cousin can play the clarinet, so I want to be taught it by her♥

My ideal partner♥

I will introduce to you "My ideal partner"♥
My ideal partner is like a my father!!

When I was a elementary schoolchild, my father took us(my mother, my brother) anywhere we liked on every Saturday and Sunday.
For instance, mountains, the sea, amusement parks...etc.
In addition, we traveled various places at least two times a per year.
In summer vacation, we went to climb the mountain...
In winter vacation, we went to ski...
Anyway, he likes to play with family.


My father takes up jobs in another city, so he lives in Aichi now.
He comes back to our house in Osaka on every Friday evening, and he goes to company in Aichi on every Monday morning.
In spite of being tired, he takes us many places.
Nowadays, we went shopping and ate delicious meals at restaurant.
Of course, although he can't see us every day, he calls my mother every day!!
My mother looks happy when my father calls her.
They are talking about me and my brother.

My father and my mother are getting along very nicely!!
Although he lives apart from my mother, there is a close bond of affection between them♥
I want to find a man who thinks his family at first and likes playing with family.
During a holiday, I want to spend with family.
Moreover, I want to talk him all the time!!Aha!
It is very very important for husband and wife to communicate, I think♪
This is why I'd like to talk with my partner until we die...♥*

An aidol girl Mei♪

Today, We held a memorial service (in Japanese Hoji) for my grandfather at grandmother's house.
After memorial service, we went to restaurant.
A large number of people massed in there.
Grandmother, uncle, aunt, cousins, my family, and Mei!!
Mei is cousin's child who is 1-year-6-month-old.
She is very pretty girl♥

I hadn't met her since last year, so I was surprised that her body became big!!
She soon took to me because she wasn't shy in front of strangers.
Mei likes dancing♪
When her mother songs "Aitakatta" of AKB48, Mei begins to dance♪
This picture is Mei who is dancing!!
Her pose is very cute!!
She is an aidol girl!!

I and Mei had a pleasant time☆
Time spent quickly...

I'm looking forward to seeing Mei!!
I hope that she can speak by next seeing day♥

A good friend♥

I have a good friend!
Now, I'm going to introduce to you my good friend.

I had lived in Aichi till I was 10.
When I commuted a kindergarten, I met her whose name is Saya.
We have been friends known each other for a long time♪

We commuted a kindergarten by bus.
My bus stop was different from her bus stop.
However, I got off the bus at Saya's bus stop because I didn't want to leave her.
Then, we played with "Sylvanian Families" till late at evening.

Although I got along with her, we had quarreled.
Then, we seriously argued each other.
I like such a her.
She always tells me anything she thought.
In addition, she is not only a earnest talker but also kind woman I think.
This is reason why I like her.


The last ten days of February, we went to Tokyo Disney Land & Sea♥
Because we had not met long time, so when I met her I was very glad!!
We had a good time.

Now, Saya lives in Tokyo because Saya's university is there.
I can't see her very often so I'm very sad.
But, we are best friend, so we are going to meet during winter vacation!!
I'm looking forward to seeing her early☆

A special day♥*

I will introduce to you my special day.
Did you go to a school festival which is called "shingetsusai" ?
It made me happy.

I had never experienced "bunkasai".
The junior high school and high school which I commuted didn't have it, so I was sad.
Then, I awaited "shingetsusai" with glee.
I went to kwansei gakuin university on November3.
I had two special events during one day.

First, I made "taiyaki" and sold it as "uegahara habitat"
Though, there were few peole in the morning, many visitors went to buy it in the afternoon.
Taiyaki of uehabi is very hot and delicious, I think.
In spite of big size, its price is 100 yen!!
It's cheap!!
One of them who bought taiyaki said to me "This taiyaki is very delicious! Stick with it!! I hope that your work succeed☆"
After I heard this message, I was glad.
We owe the high sales to a lot of people.
Now, I'm very delighted because this money is send to Philippines.
I wish many Philippino are helped with this money★


Next special event is the concert of Ito Yuna.
I like her very much.
Carrot37 also likes her, so we decided to go to the concert together♪
A man who wants to go to concert must get the ticket.
The day before the concert, I sayed at Carro37's house.
Next day, we got up at 5 a.m and arrived at KGU 6 a.m!!
Fortunately, we could get the seat in the front row.
I was fascinated by beauty of Yuna's singing voice.
I thought that live concert absolutely differs from CD.
Ito Yuna sung "Precious" which I like the best.
I felt happy!!

Next year, we have to study abroad, so we may not be able to participate in the "shingetsusai".
I think that I could spend precious time during a first grader.
November3 is special day for me and I can't forget this day...

Communication in a high tech world

I will reply to John.
I think that high tech has two faces which are good and bad.


After high tech came to Japan, our life became an affluent society.
Whenever we want to contact people, we can do with our cellphone, skype, internet, mail, and so on.
These convenient tools are necessary for us.



The other side, high tech has bad face.
My opinion is the same as John.
Certainly, high tech may have robbed our communication.
However, I think that whatever we can change this result or not depends on our effort!!

My father takes up jobs in another city, so my father doesn't come back my house everyday.
Then, he always call my mother.
As a result, it is necessary for them.
But, our family communicate with each other.
Especially, when my father come back my house, our family's coversation become lively♪

Although I don't oppose high tech, I think that people nowadays should more communicate with family, friends etc...☆

I went to Kyoto!!

The other day, I went to Kyoto. Members are 9 people who are two American, Swedes, and six Japanese.

We visited in
☆Kinkaku temple
★Ryoan temple
☆Kiyomizu temple

When we visited in Kinkaku temple, we drank green tea.
Though I have ever eaten its confection , I had never drunk it.
I said to international students about this truth.
Then, I was laughed by them.
To my surprise, they had ever drunk it!!
I was ashamed of myself...aha


Left picture was taken in Ryoan temple which is famous for a rock garden.
It has 15 rocks.
We tried to count them, but we couldn't see all rocks.
It was difficult to find 15 rocks.
If you will go there, let's try!!

We spent many hours pleasantly at Kyoto.
I enjoyed talking with international students.
I want to go out with them someday!!

Globalization!

I will introduce to you globalization.
I thought that UNIQLO is typical of globalization.

Although UNIQLO opened in Japan, it is also advancing into foreign countries now.
Overseas expansion of UNIQLO started in London.
Later, China, America, Korea, Hong Kong and France.

Clothes cost of UNIQLO are very cheap.
There are very few young people in Japan because Japan is a dwindling number of children, so clothes were often bought by middle age.
Therefore, UNIQLO improved design of clothes and broadcasted UNIQLO's imformation with Web and Ypu Tube.
As a result, there are many UNIQLO shops in foreign countries.



Moreover, UNIQLO strengthen many full-fledged employees.
Therefore, full-fledged employees can speak English very well!!
Large company which start overseas expansion must speak English.
Not only UNIQLO but also other large company need people who speak English.
Exactly, this is a globalization I think.
I want to speak it well, but now I can't do.
I have to study very hard than I do now, so I will make every effort!!

♪Philippine♪

In this summer, I enjoyed visiting many places which are Philippine, Shiga, Nagano, Gifu and USJ.
Everything were interesting for me.
But, I will introduce one event.

I belong to a volunteer circle named Habitat.
This picture was taken in Philippine.
In August, I and members stayed there for twelve days.
We teached Japanese culture, kanji, the four seasons etc... to Philippine children.
In adition, we did activities which are Japanese festival, aizome, making map and sports festival.

Philippine children have shining eyes and big smiles.
They made me happy☆

The boy's name is Justine who is four years old and she is his grandmother in this picture.
She is a domestic helper of house which is for us staying.
She treated me like a her grandchild and she was very kind.
Becouse he was shy in front of strangers at first, I spoke to him but he completely ignored me.
But he got to come up to me after I held him in my arms.
Then we played everyday...
He can't speak English of course Japanese so we don't have ways of communication.
However, I thought that we are congenial.
The final day, I didn't want to go back Japan.
When I said good-bye to grandmother, she cried and told me "Don't forget me and Justine.Please come back here next year. I miss you!!"
Becouse I was also sad, I cried with grondmother.

I think that I had a valuable experience in Philippine so I want to remember this encounter with them.
Then I decided to go to Philippine next year!!

☆Happy day part2☆ ～Tenjinmatsuri～

July25 was happy day!!
Did you go to tenjinmatsuri?

I went to see fireworks with carrot37 and potato519.
There were many people there.
Both sides of the street were lined with stalls.

Fireworks were extremely beautiful and colorful.
Many fireworks were set off in the sky.

We took a lot of pictures.
My favorite color is pink, so I put this picture on the blog.

July25 was special day for me, because I had never gone to see fireworks with my friends.
I always went to see them with my family.
Therefore, I felt that day was fresh.

I want to see fireworks again with my friends.
But...next year we have studying abroad.
The year after next, we have to hunt for a job.

When we are 4 grade, we can go to see fireworks can't we?
Shall we go to a fireworks display?

☆Happy days part1☆ ～Takoyaki Party～

July23, 24 were happy days!!

I stayed at potato1005's hause with potato519 and carrot37.
On the evening we made 2 tipes takoyaki.

★　normal takoyaki
★　sausage and cheese in takoyaki

Both takoyaki were extremely delicious.
I have eaten so much that my stomach felt heavy...

The next day we woke up at 12:30!!haha
Breakfast also served as lunch ♪haha
We again ate takoyaki.
Moreover we made pancake by takoyaki appliance.

Afternoon, we went to Round1 in Takaraduka and played bowling and karaoke.
Time passed in an instant.

After I went back my house I weighed myself on the scales.
To my surprise, I gained 1.5 kilogram!!!!
I must make an effort to lose weight!!

However, we have a plan.
September, we are going to hold a crepe party ♪haha

I may gain weight..........

Finished my homeworks!!

I'm very happy because I finished my homeworks.
We had many homeworks didn't we?
I can't finish them quickly...so it took many times...
How about you?
I want to sleep deeply because I haven't slept for 2 days.
Therefore I'm tired and sleepy now.

Tomorrow, I have 2 tests which are Chinese and Christianity.
How many tests do you have?
I have to study hard, so I can't sleep today...Ahaha

Everyone!!
Let's make an effort!!

A Surprising Experience

This story is about I and my family.

I had lived in Aichi when I was a schoolchild.
One day I was going to visit my grandmother in Osaka.
It was my first journey away from home, so I went there alone by train.

After days, my family was going to visit my grandmother in Osaka too.
They went there by car.
I was looking forward to seeing my family.
Just then, the telephone rang.
My grandmother took phone.
It was from my mother.
I was worried about my family, because my grandmother had a scared look on her face.
When she put phone I ask her "What is the matter with my family?"
She said me "Your family met with a traffic accident on their way to go Osaka. Struck from behind, their car was damaged badly. But, fortunately there were no deaths."
I was absent-minded and extremely anxious by the news.

My mother was bruised on the shoulder.
My brother was cut his eyelid.
My father was unhurt.

Now, I think that if I had riden the car with my family, I would have been seriously wounded.
Possibly I may have been dead, because I never fasten a seat belt around my waist.

Therefore, I learned that seat belt is very significancant for man!!

I obtained a driver's license in this March and sometimes drive a car.
I'm always careful about safe driving!!

My good and bad points

I'm going to introduce my bad points.

I must improve my character.
I always talk with my friends then I can look faces.
However, when I speech in front of people, I can't look faces of people, because I'm shy.
In the future, I will have opportunities of speech at company.
By the time I want to overcome shy.

Second, I sometimes make negative comments.
For instance, I won't get high score...
I can't do it......etc
Nowadays, I understood that making negative comments mean making poor human.
I don't like becoming such a human so I make positive comments from now on!!


Next, I'm going to introduce my good points.


I like talking with people so I can talk with everybody.
Therefore, I made friends quickly after I entered KG university.
Now I'm happy!!
I will make more friends and good memories for 4 years.

Things I'd like to accomplish

Hello!!
Nowadays, we had a great deal of rain this week.
I don't like rain because when we have rains the temperature rise.
Therefore I don't have as much stamina as I used to.



By the way, I write about "Things I'd like to accomplish".
I'd like to accomplish dream of helping many people.
I want to be a woman who is helpful in many ways.
Therefore I belonged a volunteer circle "habitat" that we help Philippine people.


June 12, we collected donations on the street.
Many people came to do contributions.
They encouraged us to coninue our fundraising campaign.
One of them brought some drinks to us.
A lot of people who contribute money are so kind!!


After collecting donations, I was cheered by the people.
Therefore I thought that I want to collect donations many times.
Collected the money can help philippine children.
We will do activity at JR nishinomiya on July 10,11.
I desire to meet the kind people and look children's smiles.

～What I'd do if I were rich～

Hi!!
Nawadays I'm extremely tired...
I couldn't sleep soundly because I have many homeworks and study of short examination.
I'm slow to understand things, so I have to study harder.

This month has a tight schedule.
I'm going to lodge for "Habitatto" on June11,12 and 26,27.
In addition, I will do a fundraising campaign with tomato1111.
I'm looking foward to coming these happy days♪♪

By the way, I write about what I'd do if I were rich.
I don't work now, so I don't have a lot of money.
However, I don't matter of money bacause my parents protect me.

If I have a lot of money, I want to contribute money to poor children around the world.
They don't have their house, family,school, even foods...
I want to help them not only material assistance but also mental assistance☆
Therefore I must learn hard now.

The collecting of contributions on the street will be held on June12 in front of JRline Nishinomiya station.
If you are free, please come there!!!!

Somewhere I'd like to live

Hello!!
How are you?
I feel sluggish because temperature is high.
I don't like summer...
Do you like it?

By the way, I write about somewhere I'd like to live.
I want to live in a foreign country.
Because I haven't went to there.
Needless to say, I haven't live in there. Aha!!
So, I'm looking forward to studying abroad next year.

However I don't want to live in a city.
I love nature.
Nature has power that makes me happy.
I often go to "SHINSYU" with my family.
I feel comfortable when I climbed mountains.
For instance, a bracing air, a bird's singing, beautiful forests and flowers and sky......

I wish to live in symbiosis with a nature.
I want to live in there just like "HAIJI"♪

If I fulfill my these wishes, I invite everyone to my house in a foreign country!!!

My these days

Hello. My name is cabbage27.
I am a student of Kwansei Gakuin university.
I am in the first grade.
I belong to international department.
I haven't decide whether I enter a circle or not.


My birthday is April 27.
So now, I am 19 years old.
I think that I want to enjoy my life.
Because teenager is last...
I am sad......


My hobby is playing a piano.
I practiced it for 12 years.
When I play a piano I am comfortable.
So, I sometimes play it.
I also practiced swimming and calligraphy.
However, I don't like to swim.
I hate that my skin sunburn.

I decided that name of this blog is cabbage because I like it.
I like vegetables than meat.
In addition, I like fishes.
But, when I was a child I couldn't eat fishes.
When I was a junior high school student I went on a trip to Hokkaido with my family.
I realized then for the first time how delicious
