I haven't written my blog for a long time. How fast the time passes! Nowadays, I am too busy. The new term started in April. I am majoring in Chinese at university. It is more difficult than English for me.
However, I enjoy my life everyday. I go shopping an ever when I have a free time, so I hardly have money now!!

Just now, the phone rang. It was from my mom, and she said that she is going to send something I want by home-delivery service tomorrow. I am so happy!! She always help me when I have in trouble, even if i don't tell her anything. Why can you understand my condition? I regard my mom. I wanna be a person like my mom.

By the way, I want to tell you guys about my trip to Disneyland in Tokyo. I have been there many time. I love Disney. It took about eight hours to Tokyo from Osaka, but I never mind. I went there with my best friend, Sayaka. The most favorite Disney character is Chip and Dale. They are squirrels, and so cute. I took a lot of pictures with them.　We had a great time.

Hi everyone. I would like to tell you about a coming-of-age ceremony in Japan. I had the ceremony in the 8th of January. It is a big event for us, because women can wear Japanese traditional clothes. Do you know the name? It is called Kimono. Most men wear a suit, but some men wear a Hakama. It is also Japanese traditional clothes. After the ceremony, I had a party. I met a lot of friends and a teacher in middle school. I hadn't met them for about five years, so I enjoyed talking to them, eating and drinking. I want to show you the picture of Kimono.

I have a friend in the United States. Her name is LaDonna, 18 years old. She has a very pretty face. When I was a high school student, I went to the United States. It was in summer. I was staying at her house for a month. At the time my Engligh is worse than now. I could not understand what she talked about. Also, I couldn't speak English well. However, she always spoke slowly for me, and let me understand what she said. She always taught me English. When I went back to Japan, I was very sad, but I promised her that keep in touch with her by Email or letters. She and I are good friend still now.

I came to New Zealand in 9th October, because of studying English. In fact, I wasn't planning to come here. It was decided that I would go to New Orleans, in the United States for four months. I finished packing a day prior to my departure. I was very excited. The next day in the morning, the phone rang before leaving home. It was from my university, and the woman told me that I couldn't go to the United States because of a big hurricane. Can you remember the hurricane? The hurricane caused extensive damage to people who lived in New Orleans and near there. It was horrible. I had to give up going there, and I had to choose a place either Australia or New Zealand. I wanted to go to both countries, but I chose New Zealand. Now I like here very much because there is a lot of nature and my classmates are all nice people. I am going back to Japan on the 20th December, so I am sad. I will miss New Zealand.

After the week 10 exams finish

I'm going to go back to Japan after the week 10 exams finish, and I will have a winter holiday for three months.
First, I'm planning to learn to how to drive and get a driver's license in January. My father works at a driving school, so he will teach me how to drive.
In February, I will have a lot of free time, so I want to travel abroad. However, I don't have enough money to travel in other countries. I will probably visit Tokyo and go to the Disney land instead of going to foreign countries. I also have to do a part-time job. Before I came to New Zealand, I had a part-time job close to my house in Osaka. When I will go back to Japan, I would have to a new part- time job.

My story when I was a child

When I was a child, I was very shy. When I was 4 years old, I entered a preschool. I didn't like it, because it was boring. I always had to play outside with my classmates everyday, but I didn't have a lot of friends. I always thought I wanted to go back my home. One day in the morning, I decided to go back my home, so I suddenly ran away on my way. My classmates noticed it, so they told my teacher about that. When I arrived my house, My mother was surprised, and asked me.
"Why did you came back home?" I only was silent. She was gradually angry. I had to go back my school. In the school, the teacher was worried me. When I went back the school, I apologized everyone.

Describe a Person

I will tell everyone about my friends in Kansai Gaidai. Before I came to New Zealand, I didn't know Rumi, because she and I were at different campuses in the University. When I looked at her for the first time, I thought she looked quiet, but actually she isn't quiet. She is very friendly and clever. While we were on a plane coming to New Zealand, I was sitting next to her, so we talked about various things. We are compatible with her. Last weekend, we went shopping in Henderson, and she bought a very cute clothes. She is fashionable. Also, she has a good figure. I want to more tall like her. We are going to Rotorua this weekend with other friends, so I am excited.
