In 1983 in December, it started that build for tunnel. It was going to be Takachiho in Miyazaki between Takamori. It seemed very smooth work just then. However 4 years later, an accident happened in February. When people who built the tunnel were doing work, suddenly spring came up there which was a deluge. So, they were very surprised! At the same time, they noticed that it wouldn’t be tunnel anymore. That’s kind of sad, there was nothing we could do, but there is very good place now because of the story. After that, it is important of our town because it has a part to save a lot of water, also the source of river.

BR 2-05: FLUFFY'S VALENTINE'S DAY

★On the 14Th of February,
what is that day?
Don't you know? You must say "Yes", right? Yeah, it’s a
Valentine’s Day. Let me talk about this story little this time.

★There was a kindergarten, and some of the kindergarten children. They were making up, and after that drawing something that is a box each own. So, they were getting preparation for the Valentine’s Day. Also there was a hamster which is the main of this story, named Fluffy. Although there were making it no one else draw of him, but he still hoped that some of them will would have draw of him at least one.

★Everyone worked hard until lunchtime. After they finished it, they started that to show what design of boxes each other. “I love pink,” said Emma. I posted pink ribbons on my box. said Mark… But actually it didn’t show up of him easily. So, Fluffy thought that “So what? :(” to them. When the showed up all of those boxes, he was gave a yawn of sheer weariness. Why not a picture of me? thought Fluffy. Finally he got mad at them. And then he thought that I quit! Valentine’s Day! Bah!!! :( Who needs it? … something like that.

★However, they have prepared for their pet, Fluffy that he wanted to. He didn’t know how he was happy because of them. They gave special box to him. Although he was getting angry with them, he changed his mind from cold to warm. I thought like how simple mind! :p Then they told him that
WE LOVE YOU, FLUFFY!!!! You do? thought Fluffy. After that he ate an apple which was given from them too. Who likes Valentine’s Day? asked own. I DO! he really thought.

★Well who likes Valentine’s Day? I used to like that day actually. :) If you have a boyfriend or like somebody, you may like it. On the other hand, if you don’t like anybody, you might dislike it. It’s depend on, but I just guess.

★This book is made by Kate McMullan. Her design is very pretty. If I was a kid I would have loved it for sure. I am 20 age, even so I really like to read picture books! So I will keep it going from now on.

It makes me happy! ~I love chocolate!!!~

After school, I got back home by the train with a friend of mine today. She gets on/off the train at Sanrigi station. Before when she get off the train, she gave ‘galbo ~Meiji~’ that is chocolate to me, suddenly!!! I was very surprised because I didn’t expect something like that, that is why. I felt like so happy because of her, and ‘galbo’. :)

← Have you ever seen or eaten it? This is my favorite chocolate that is galbooooo! (It' so delicious so if you haven't had it until now, you should try it! When you eat it, will love it soon for sure.)


However, I just started that my diet from yesterday so I really wanted to eat it, but I quited. I didn't eat it! even if I do love it so, yeah... I did it!!! *hah* I was also surprised to me at the same time. Hah Am I good girl?! huh? Yeah, maybe…

But anyways, thank you very much dude! I am sure that you really know how much I do love chocolate, but I just felt very happy to your mind. So, I asked her that why did you give it to me suddenly so? And then “Because you give me a lot of things to me all the time”, she said.

Actually I might have given her something, but I didn’t buy them. Like some snacks or some lunch or so, I guess. But, she bought it for me! I should thank for your attitude as usual. Also I’m glad that she thinks something like that. Usually I cannot be so honest, but I’d like to say thank you so much to her this time.

Love ya babe!!! XD See ya tomorrow! ;)★

Tell me your suggestion.

I hate my sentence style, and I am bat at English grammar. So I feel like I am going to be frustrated when I read another essays. Also I bed that my essays/dairy are so boring to read. Why do I think so? Because when I read it, it is not fun, and kind of as same sentence as usual all the time, I mean my grammar, phrase or so. So I’m practicing how to write something in English recently, like free writing whatever I want, read a reference book, etc. Also I started that to study TOEIC (to increase vocabulary too). However it is very hard for me, but I think that the first thing I need is a lot of vocabulary, so I’m still trying. One day, I asked a man a year ago that I can’t write what I want to in English very well so what should I do? He answered that anyway keep its going. it would be good for sure. Then now, time passed from then. So I really worried about my English skills, also it has not improved recently, I guess. I am sure that connect is important, but I don’t have confidence at my English. What do you think about that? Please tell me your suggestion.

To teach Japanese

Hi, how have you been these days? I've been busy but I'm doing well, but I feel like I am going to sad because of me. I made sure that the most important thing is keep to practice!!! Have you ever taught Japanese for someone? Of course I have. So, let me talk about my experiences this time. I promised a man who is a exchange student of KGU the other day, so we gather to teach Japanese at the library after school. He asked me about “ばかり”, and “つい” today. I know how different between “ばかり” and “つい”, but I didn’t explain it very well. What so frustrated!

However, I did do my best, I guess. Here is what I taught him.
About “ばかり”; it has 2 mean. The one is like 1) “Some 10 people happened to be there,” the others are 2) “She reads only magazines,” “He is always borrowing other friend’s books.” something like that. Or you will be able to teach like “I’ve just finished my home work.

About “つい”; it 4 means. It means like 1) “The friend’s name slipped my mind,” the others are 2) “I ended up overeating,” 3) “I missed my chance to confess because I was afraid of being to she gets mad,” 4) “It was reported on radio only a few minutes ago.”

Well, I don’t know how much he could understand. But I hope he gets better than before I taught at least a little.

I really like to speak English, also want to help someone if its need for them. However I did not explain so well, also I was not satisfied today. I didn’t feel good, but there was nothing I couldn’t do. I still have time, so need to study how to teach Japanese. Also I have a duty which I should more to know it why I am native. We have some exchange students from some countries here in KGU, so we each have chance to teach Japanese them. So there is a lot of good opportunity for us. Why don’t you teach Japanese them with me? I’d like to try it even I’m not good at to teach Japanese yet.

Essays 2-04: My company; Youth Hostel Club ~Community~

Do you have any favorite communities in you life?
Of course I do have it what is "Youth hostel club". I will tell you about my club this time. By the way, there are many communities in the world. For example, about sport clubs like, basketball, tennis, baseball, swimming or so. I have been belonged to a soft tennis club in my junior high school. Then now, I'm belong to Youth hostel club which is 文化サークル. Let me talk about clubs of KGU. We have about 100 clubs, and it is separate 3 teams which are 学翔学会, 文化サークル and サークル連合in this university.

In my club, we have a lot of schedule in a year. First of the year, we have spring trip in April. Then after entrance ceremony, have a welcome party for freshman in May, night hike in June, costume drive in July, go to the beach/summer trip to go to Okinawa(only this year; we can choose wherever we want) in August, parade for school festival which is 託麻祭 in October, 託麻祭 in November, new stuff party in December, have a good bye party in March. As you see, we have so many plans in a year. It seems like just have fun or hang out, such as things. However, we

Right now, I am talking a break in the club activity because I have been spent lots of money for the club until now. However I need to save much money to go to Europe, and I really wan t to study abroad so I need a lot of money. That is why I am talking a rest these months. We have a relationship each other during lunch, get drunk, chatting, something like that. It's not only have fun but also we can connect each other more, so good for both for us.

One day, I asked my club reader about myself. Because I was really worried that I couldn't participate almost events that is like sport festival or so. I wish I could have joined it, but there was nothing I couldn't do. Even so, they are always kind for me. When they see me, they definitely say hello to me all the time. It makes me happy! I really like them.

As a conclusion, we have so many kind of community in our life, so we had better keep in touch with your company. In my case, I will keep in touch with my awesome friends of Youth hostel club from now on too. In the future, I might have problems perhaps between friends each other or with worker, but the good experiences will help me a lot, I guess. Because I know that people do have sweet heart in their.

Essays 2-03: Mrs. Doubtfire ~Bond between family, Relationships and Love~

I watched the movie what was the "Miss Doubtfire" that is kind of a love comedy movie, but not only about love, but also emotion of people. It had a lot of important theme. It's one of my favorite movies. Actually I've already seen it before, like when I was a high school student, so I almost knew about the story, but I felt different at the movie this time from then. So I'm going to tell you about 3 themes that are bond between family, relationships and love through this story.

At the beginning, there is Diniel, who is the main character, Miranda, who is his wife, they have three children who are Ridia(eldest daughter), Chris(oldest son), and Natalie in the movie. They love their children a lot. There was a close bond of affection between Diniel and Mirand, but she wanted to break off her ties with him. However, there were still the ties that bind parent and child together until they divorced.

There is my father, mother, older sister and brother in my family same as Daniel's. I love my family a lot, but sometimes I fight with them because of little things. I always think after our argument, like why did I say something to my sisters, or parents? Why am I so mean? Some thing like that, so I regret a lot. Because I'm excited too much when we argument each other. So I always frustrated after that. Even if we sometimes argument or so, they make me happy all the time. When I'm wrong, something mistakes, they say something for me, like good advices. Especially my mother, if I do some bad things, she will get mad at me. She is always very kind, smiling, so I'm very scared when she gets mad. But also when I got good things, they are always cheering for me, like they blessed a lot same as me. Of course we are human, so sometimes will have some problems, but that is fine. So I have to keep relationships with them, so I will love them more as I told. We have to think about what the real love is.

In this movie, "We love each other! Don't we?" Daniel told Miranda, but she answered "No, its over." This part was so sad for me. In Japan, they say what "I love you" each other often, even young people when they are dating. I used to think that its good, because its kind of good way to expression each emotion, but its really true? I don't think so. I changed my mind these months, so I think different that is like and love. So love is very, very important, I guess. So I cannot use it easy. I don't know other people, but I want you to think about "Love" more seriously.

In my opinion, I used to think about divorce that is bad, but now, I changed my mind so is not too good, but not bad sometimes. Of course people fall in love between women and man, then have some relationships, after that they will get marry. It just looks like very happy, then love each other a lot, but in fact, I'm not sure that is true or not. Nowadays, younger girls become pregnant many times, so I feel like very very, and very worried, so we have to think about that seriously. I am 20 years old, but we are still young, especially teenager. So just like/love each other is fine, but I think that too early to get pregnancy by teenager, because they have an abortion the same as pregnancy. That's too bad, also so sad. So they are not happy, aren't they? In our life, so many couple divorce. I think after graduated, or got a certain job, then save a kind of a lot of money, after that we will get marry with lover is better. I will get marry with someone in the future, I guess. However, I want to think about seriously, because I don't want to divorce for us, my children.

There is a lot of family in all over the world. We don't know which family is the best or worst, but we have to find happiness at least own. Of course we have different feeling. So we are all different. I don't know what you feel, like about your happiness. For example, if your parents are not so close, also dislike your father, and you want your parents to divorce. If they divorce, you will be happy. However some people don't think what you think so. The people will tell you that even if you want to do it, you shouldn't think something like that. So, we can find our happiness whatever we want, also we will be able to decide to it by ourselves.

As a conclusion, we have to do something forever during our life, who never know that we will happen in the future, even if near future. So we have to keep many relationships with family, of course other people too, like friends or so. Also there are lots of movies in our life. So when we have time we should watch these movies! I am sure that it will show/tell us a lot of important things! It must be!
