THE TREND

i cant think about any todays japanese top trends,
but i think japanese young girls' fashions has been changing soo much,
compared to before.



these days, the fishion called"MORI GIRL" is popular.
we can often see this fashion at school.
they never wear like vivid colours clothes.
i think im totally different to mori girls.

and the fur items are popular this year.
i heard that a girl who wear any fur items are called"KAIJUU GAL".
so many fur items, such as leg warmers, hats, scarfs are sold anywhere.

i think that japanese girls are very fashionable.
but as trends changes every year, it costs a lot to get trend items!

cultural difference!

I know there are so many cultural differences
between japan and other countries
but i cant think of any unusual culture...

maybe going in houses with their shoes on, or walking outside barehood
would be one of the cultural differences that made me surprised
when i was in australia.

at first, i thought that walking in the house with my shoes on is dirty
but once i got used to it, i loved that custum

i often went out with no shoes on which japanese people would never do in japan.
and entering houses without taking shoes off was so comfortable lol


so when i got home in japan after my exchange program first
i went in my house with my shoes on !
my family was so surprised and said
you are not japanese! lol

i felt that australian culture was like more rougher than japanese culture.
i love it better though. :D

◎technology◎

i think that most important technology for humanbeing is the computer,
whereas for my life, it is definitely mobile(cellphone)!

computer is of course necessary thing too, but im addicted to my cellphone so much,
so my life would be so different without it.

i use my cellphone to wake up in the morning, and i put it where i can see all day.
i use it when i am walking, taking bath, sometimes in the class and in the train.

but i think that my life might be better without my cellphone
because spending my time just texting to my friends, checking the blogs or mixi
is just waste of time!
it is fun and makes me feel excited though nothing would be left.

cellphone is very handy and convenient tool,
but especially the young people will have to live with it carefully.

my summer vacation★overview

i felt this summer vacation was too long, but was also quick.

i enjoyed spending my time with my friends and family so much.

i had some plans almost everyday, so i really didnt get bored.

dance practice was good to kill my time.
we had an stage at the end of summer vacation
so we practiced a lot for it.


i had heaps of free time though i didnt study any..
so my summer vacation was finished just hanging around with my friends,
dancing, sleeping, watching tv, and so on..


getting up early is hard though im happy to back to school again : )

plans for this summer★

im not sure what i am doing this summer yet

but i have many things that i wanna do.

first, i have dance lessons twice a week.

i belong to the dance circle called"ballet dance company"

and we have short trip to"Nagashima super land" in september.

im excited about it.

also, i will go to some festivals wearing yukata.

i hope to go to beaches as well.

me and my friends are planning to go to Disney land

and Korea.

but we dont know if we can realize or not.

we also have plan to drive to somewhere

we all can have fun together.

this summer vacation is about 2 months long,

so ill try not to waste my time .

im so happy to have good friends to hang out together.

im sure this summers gonna be really good one.

i just cant wait!!!!!

japan

i know what i want to take and show to my host family and new friends
when i go abroad next year.

i would take japanese fashion magazines which is popular among young people,
some fliers, and photos of things around me.

actually, when i went to australia before, these things were very useful to introduce japan.

my friends were interested in japanese teenagers, so they were very excited to see
japanase magazines.
fliers are very different, so everyone was like so surprised.
especially sushi ones.

"LOVE IS BLIND"

I felt exactly in the same way through my experiences so far.

I had dissapointment in love last winter,

and that almost killed me really..

while i was with my ex boyfriend, i was so into him

and he was everything to me.

nothing, even my family and best friends, weren't precious to me

compared to him.

i couldnt think the life and world without him.

i was so scared to loose him all the time..

but the most frightened time came suddenly.

he said " i cant be with u anymore" and i couldnt understand what was going on.

we were very happy together till the only two days before.

i called my sister and best friend to say good bye

and tried to die.

but they stopped me and supported me strongly.

i then realized that how much they care about me

and how they are important to me..

as u know, when you fell in love with someone,

your world would began to revolve around him or her.

love makes u happy though it sometimes gives u pain.

i will try not to forget the importance of my family and friends

when i love someone.

love can really makes u blind!

MYLEY CYRUS

my favorite famouse celebrity is Myley Cyrus.

i got known her when i was in australia for the first time.

as u know, she is famouse for her another name Hanna Montana.
u can see it on Disney channel which is very popular around the world.

though i like miley, i dont like hanna montana..lol


i like miley, since she is so good singer, great actress, and is really cute!

i cant believe that she is younger than i.


i wanna be her when i am born again lol

summer is coming★

hey guys!

im excited about summer vacation
but i hate summer as i hate sweating and getting sunburned so much!

because every mornig im in hurry and run to the station,
i sweat a lot when i get to school.
thats so annoying!!!

and though i dont wanna get sunburned, i just cant be bothered putting sunscreen on
every single morning.
i wish i was a boy, then i dont need to worry about sunburned.


but summer has so much exciting stuff to do.
there are many festivals around here, and we can do fireworks at night.
last summer was very happy and fun,
i hope this summer is gunna be happy like last summer :)

summer is annoyin but exciting!

huge KATSUDON!

i strongly recommend the old japanese restaurant

called "dairiki shokudou" near koshien studium.


its like 5 minutes walk from hanshin koshien station.


its really small and old restaurant though its very popular among teenagers in koshien.





dairiki shokudou is famouse for the absolutely huge and cheap katsudon.

its only 700yen, but the size is big enough for 3 people.



some boys who eat really well would be able to eat up by themselves,
but i guess its too big for most of boys.



i often go there when i dont want to spend much money on food and
when i am so hungry.

its so good, so u should try really.

fraser island in australia☆

have u heard the island called "fraser island"?

it's the world's largest sand island located in the east of australia.

it' world heritage listed, and is famouse for its rainforest, creeks, wildlife and so on.

there are many wild dogs called"dingo" that look like sibaken so much.

ive visited there for about 4 times when was in australia,

and last november with my sister.

because fraser island has got amazingly beautiful nature,

many tourists come and stay there from all over the world.

there are many tours for those people as well.

fraser island was like about 30 minutes away from my town in australia.

i enjoyed swimming, camping, and sightseeing there.

as its really nice and beautiful place, i took my sister there last year.

even though she cant speak english, she enjoyed herself very much.

that was the best memory we have had toghther ever.

but last november, i heard very sad news about fraser island.

because its the sand island, the road is very rough, and cars and buses shake and jolt hard,

and one of the buses that japanese tourist was on rolled over, and a japanese young man from osaka passed away.

ive been on the same bus before, i was so shocked and scared.

i hope such a terrible accident would never happen again.

anyways...

i really want u guys to visit fraser island when u go to australia.

or i will go with u whenever u want lol

4th topic



i love my hometown, Koshien :)
ive been here for about 10 years
and i will be staying here as long as i could.

why i love koshien is because i love baseball!!

my town has koushien studium which is really famouse for
high school baseball competition and Hanshin Tigers.

many people come to watch baseball games to koushien.


i can see koushien studium from my house,
and i like the noise that people make when they cheer.


we have also big shopping centre called lalaport.
i used to go there when i hang out with my friends.
many people are always there.


koshien is just between osaka and sannomiya,
so its easy to get these places.
i fell its very convenient place.



come to koshien to watch baseball game! lol

my dream.. : (

its my 3rd post : )

i found this topic is dufficult, because im not sure about my dream or what i want to do yet.

i think this 4 years at kangaku would pass very quickly.

some people might study hard and get a good job,
whereas others might just hang around with their friends or go into club activities.

my dream for the present would be not to stay on any extra years,
and get a job that suits me.

if i could succeed or not is all up to me.
so i have to keep it mind that i try not to waste of my time.


since i came here, i havent studied at home almost anything really..
and my family are worried about me.
too much going out.

i know i have to study, but its so much fun hanging out with my friends.

GIVE ME MORE TIME!!!!!!! lol


to have a full school life here, id like to grow up and try hard in everything.

its not easy to cope with everything, like school work, friends, family, and part time job,
though i will try : )


i dont wanna regret afterward.


hopefully, i can find what i wanna do in couple of years
through the studies here and studying abroad.


well.... thats all i think about.

thanks for reading :D

the thing that changed my life

here is my 2nd post : )


hmmm...
i dont think ive met any teachers who influenced me and changed my life so far
so, im gonna write about the thing that changed me a lot.

the biggest experience ive ever had was that the exchange students program in australia.
i studied in aus for a year, and i grew up so much through this experience.
all the people who i met there gave me new ideas and i learned lots of worthful things from these people.

my way of looking at the world have changed completely,
and i wouldnt be here if i didnt go abroard.

i hope all the exchange students at kangaku from different countries would gain something which change their life positively
and hope i can meet a teacher who influence me and change my life! :D


thaks byeee
