The view of lives

There are a lot of jobs in this world, and we dream to get a job that we want. Some people think that it is great to get a job which we can earn a lot, and others think it is important to get a job which we can feel the contentment for it. In the movie”The Nanny Diaries”, there are two types of people as I mentioned. In my opinion, it is important to get a job which attracts you a lot.

In this movie, Annie Braddock graduated a college and her mother wanted her to find a respectable position in the business world. In this case, her mother think the position of the society is important and the money. On the other hand, Annie found that it is important to feel some fulfillment by doing her job.

I understand the both side of ideas, and I think both of them are right. The key is how we can keep the balance of these thoughts. One way to keep the balance is that “Do whatever you want”. Actually, most of people who earn huge money are doing a job what they wanted to do. It is sounds so egotistic, however it’s the best way to take the idea of both side.

The Way You Wear Your Cloth

There is many way to wear clothes in this world and there is much opinion about it. “Snow boarder Kokubo barred from games opening ceremony over dress code” Japan Today was discussing the way he wore the Olympic dress. In my opinion, we should wear cloth formally depends on the situation.

The problem of the snowboarder was he wore the official uniform informally when he arrived at Vancouver. There were a lot of media and they took picture of him. If he wore it informally not in front of media, it wouldn’t be a big problem. The reason of this problem was because he didn’t think when he need to wear it formally.

We can say same thing about youth who are sagging their pants. If they are pants-sagging when they are hanging out with their friends and wear their school uniform formally, the media don’t argue about their fashion. Because they do it all the time, people take a critical attitude to them.

However, it will also be a problem if they are pants-sagging too much. Showing their underwear to everyone is just disgusting.


It is important to express what they think about their fashion. However, it is more important to think when they can express it especially in Japan. We should not forget that there are rules of this society.

Foreign countries

I really want to go to Europe for sight seeing. I have been to British, France, and so on when I was a high school student. It is long time ago for me. I also went to New York, Sydney, for school trip and family trip. It was really cool to see other countries and eat different food from Japan. The most delicious food was humbuggers in the U.S. It was really big and drinks are free to refill. My mom couldn’t eat all of them because it was too much food for my mom. I want to go foreign countries with my family or my friends, and make a lot of great memories.

My favorite movie

I really don’t have a favorite movie, because I watch a lot of kinds of movie. I want to see "Alice in wonder land"; however I don’t have a time to go to a movie theater. I usually go to Hikari no mori to see movies. There is some restaurant to spend time before watch movies. But usually I will fall a sleep after I eat some food and see a movie. If I pick a favorite movie, it would be Pygmalion.

Using the computer

I have a new computer now. Because my old computer was broken. However, I cannot use internet at home now, so I should be able to use it as soon as possible. The new computer looks so good to me and it works so quick. I want to do a lot of things if I can use the internet. I am living on a 8th floor now, so that is why it is hard to join the internet service. Yesterday, I found some paper in front of my door and it was about an internet service. I will try to ask them and I hope I can use it someday. I don’t want to go to computer lab every time I use the computer.

About blogging

It is really hard for me to do blog, because I don’t have a internet connection at my home. Well, I already talked about this before. So I am at library now, and doing this assignment. It is about 9 pm. there is no one around me. I am a little scared. I wish I could use internet at home, so I can do it every day. But I am sure I will watch the YouTube everyday and spend a lot of time for it. Blogging is kind of fun but it is not fare for people who don’t have the connection at their home. But it is really great practice to type in English and does the diary every day.

I've got the internet

I finally got the internet connection. It is really useful for me to have it. Now, I can post some on this blog from my house and do other works too.
I went to Tosu last weekend to have some fun with my friends. We went to Cold stone and had a ice cream which is so good. I have had it when I was in the U.S. and it was so great. However, the people who are working there was doing some strange things. They are singing during making our order. It is a little embracing to hear the singing till I wait.
And I went back to my house in Kumamoto and I have finished some my own assignment. It took a really long time to finish it. but I felt so great when I finish it. Then I woke up this morning and come to this writing class. Oh... My brain is not working right now. My eyes are very tired from last night, and I will fall asleep if I have any chances. But the internet connection will wakes me up!!!

5day trip

This flower looks like a lot of elephant's head. I also took this picture at the same trip I went. I remember it was raining and we rode a jeep to go the top of the mountain. It is not the mountain you can see behind the flower.
I had really good time there, and If I can go there again, I wish I could drive the jeep and die.
I think that some Japanese scenery are very beautiful and it has the original Japanese view. However, when I was in America, I went to a lot of beautiful places, and I thought the places are really huge. There were also a really beautiful place, and I thought Japan doesn't have a place like there.
The differences of American scenery and Japanese scenery is the scale, I though. Both of countries has really beautiful scenery, but the scale of the scenery is different. I cant say which side is better. It looks really good for both side to me. If you have a chance to go National park, I would say you should go there. You will impressed by the amazing scenery.

My experience



I took this picture when I was in Colorado, USA. It was really a beautiful day, and my friends and I took a trip to somewhere I don't remember. I think it was the place was really famous in Colorado. There is a lot of historical building and the view was wonderful. I took a lot of pics and this is one of them. Can you see a Grass Hopper? I think he is trying to dive into the big sky but he doesn't have enough courage to do it. There is no ground where the grass Hopper watching that is why he cannot do it.


It was really hard to learn things in English. English was a subject to learn for me until I graduated a high school. However, if you step into the land of America, you have to learn a lot of subject in English. It is the big difference, I thought.


I was in Music major, and I took a lot of music class. My professor was really old but he was really nice at me. He is teaching Jazz bands at the University of Montana. He is just amazing. I took the Jazz band class too. It was the best class for me, because I can get credits and play music!!


I will try to write everything I experienced in the U.S. with the great picture.

Kumamoto Onsen


Onsen is one of a famous Japanese culture. We go there when we felt tired, when we want to just relax, and when we want to have some fun with our friends, or a girlfriend. There are two types of Onsen. One of them is public Onsen. We take our cloth off and take it with people we don’t know each other. The best point of that is we can talk with those people. Other type of Onsen is private Onsen which we go there with our family or girlfriend.

The famous places of Onsen are Kurokawa Onsen, Tamana Onsen, Yamaga Onsen, and so on. My favorite place to go is Kikuch Onsen. There are a lot of private Onsen and each of them is really cheap even for students. It’s cost around 1500 yen for 40 min. They usually have 10 or more rooms, so we don’t have to wait a long time to take it.

Kurokawa Onsen is the well known Onsen in Japan. There are a lot of Onsen and it looks so historical place. It is because the owners of the Onsen take their hands together for making the place look great. The road is simple, and there are no colorful things you can see. That’s why people love to go there.

Onsen make all people happy. A lot of people from other countries go there to feel the culture, and they become a big fan of it. There are still lots of Onsen I haven’t been to. I wish I go every famous Onsen and become a King of Onsen.

Book reviews' week!

Here are 3 book reviews!!!!! I did really good job... I think....




She is Lisa. She loves her bear doll named Corduroy. One day, she planted some beans in a garden of her house. And she asked Corduroy to watch it carefully all day while she is gone for school. Corduroy was watching it carefully as she said to him. However, it was really beautiful day and he fall asleep on a chair. The next moment, he saw a dog was digging the garden where Lisa planed beans. He screamed and thought what he can do now. “I have to find more seeds!” he said and he looked for her desk. There were few more beans he found. He went to the garden and he planted the new beans which he found around the desk. Then he goes back to the chair again and he said “I will watch the beans more carefully”. The beans grew and grew. Lisa came home from the school and watches the grown beans. She picked Corduroy and said. “This is not a bean. It’s a green pepper.” Corduroy thought “Is that good?” Then she said “I love green pepper!” Corduroy was really happy because he wanted to do a great job for her.


This story was really good for me to understand. I liked this story because this story has good thought of being kind to someone. I hope I read this story to someone and be same feeling like I felt. I want you to read this book.

The second book review!




There were 5 kids in a town and they were looking for some place to play. Every one of them said that their house is not OK to play because there was something going on at their houses. A girl said “We can make a clubhouse.” Then she pointed a place where is full of grass and also full of junk. Boys said “What a crazy idea!” but the girls didn’t listen. And they borrowed some tools from store in the town and they finally started to build a clubhouse there. There were a lot of heavy staff but they put away together. They made a floor, wall, and roof. Then finally they made a clubhouse. It looks really great and they had a party at there.


This is my second book reviews today and I feel really sleepy, but I decided to finish reading 6 books today.

I leaned how girls are strong and how always boys are nervous. The kids who decided to build the clubhouse were a girl and the kids who decided to borrow the tool were also a girl. Boys were always saying negative things. I also learned that if there are difficult things to do, we can do it when we do it together. Sometimes we learn some important things from bed time story or stories from our childhood. We should read it again and learn those things sometimes, I thought.

The Clubhouse, PUFFIN BOOKS, Ezra Jack Keats

ISBN 0142500542




Finally, the last one...


“Do kitties like to shop in stores? No, they prefer catalogs!”

“Where do kitties find out what’s happening? From the Daily Mews!”


This book starts with these sentences. Well, I don’t think all of them are funny but few are. Usually Japanese people don’t understand what the funny point of American jokes are. I think it is because our point of view is different from the U.S. When I was in America, I liked the TV show in America, but I couldn’t understand what the comedian saying on the TV. That is because they use a lot of difficult word and always we have to know what is going on inside the U.S government. If I had more vocabulary of cause I could understand what they were saying, however it is still difficult to understand.

New changes.

I went to elementary school last Sunday and taught how to march to their brass band. It was really hot inside the gym and one of the students got sick during the practice. But we had really good time together.
They looks so young so I was wondering that they cant understand what I'm talking, so I was trying to use easy words to explain. But they are smarter that I thought. They understand even I use some difficult word and they are also tough.
It is really great experience to communicate with them because I want to be a teacher someday.
I have some changes around me. I had hair cut last week and we have new prime minister in japan now. Every one of Japanese are looking forward to see that Japanese society be a better. I hope we are going to have more strong "Pipes" to other countries and to Japanese citizens.
