HANAHUDA

I like "Hanahuda". This is a Japanese traditional card game. It's like a tramp but has different things.  It has beautiful picture. The pictures are all different. For example, chrysanthemum, wisteria and  cane. The cards are painted Japanese beauties of natures. Also this card game has history. Originally, it was betting game. It is very interesting and  very beautiful game. Very Japanese. So I who am a Japanese love Hanahuda.

NEW YEAR

Happy New Year 2013!!! but... I feel bad. I have a cold...

Mucus streamed down my throat. I felt sick and could not slept. January 1st, New Year's Day, my throat ached and I sneezed a lot... January 2nd, I couldn't utter...
Oh my goodness!!
Today was my part time job so I was very tired. I want to recover as soon as possible.

IF I HAVE MONEY AND TIME…

If I have a lot of money and time, I want to visit Australia again. I visited there when I was a high school student as a school trip. I went to Brisbane and Gold coast and I experienced home stay. I used my host family very much. They took me to the various places. For example beautiful shore, shopping street and Brisbane City Hall. I wanted to speak with them but I can't speak as I thought. I wanted to say thanks, but I said only "Thank you very much." I was impatient. From the above, I studied English at Seishin and I want to go Australia and talk with my host family. I want to go to other places too!

VIDEO

Our team's title is "Dangerous Cyclist." I take up bicycling while talking on a mobile phone. I often see common scene that someone riding bicycle are deep in their cellphone. It is very dangerous because there are possibilities that happen accidents. For example bump against someone, bicycle or cars, ignoring a red light and overturning. I'm going to write how to happen such dangerous accidents and its rate and how to decrease that.

MY FAVORITE VIDEO GAME

I play a certain video game recently. The title is "Doubutsu no Mori e+." This game was sold very before. I was given it Santa when I was 12 years. It is setting to enjoy a single life in the village where animals live in. I do fishing and sell things and earn money. I buy pieces of furniture, wall papers and carpets, and I coordinate my room. It has many events. For example, Christmas, harvest and Halloween. The animals are very cute. I like this video game! By the way, it is an import board.

HALLOWEEN

Today is very very happy day!!! The CD which I reserved arrived. The group name is Halloween Junky Orchestra and the title is Halloween Party.It is the music that many singers sing with HYDE at the head of the list.For instance Acid Black Cherry, DAIGO, Anna Tsuchiya and Tommy february6. The idea is that an artist dressed like a ghost makes an annual Halloween party.That's great!!! The music video is very very very cooooool!!!!!! I am pleased with the music! I think that I want to hear it until the CD wears out!!

VIDEO

I selected "Playground equipment," "Stolen bicycles" and "Manners." "Playground equipment" is easy to understand the problems because dangers are performed concretely and explained plain English. "Stolen bicycle" doesn't have noises so it is easy to listen the explanation. "Manners" is easy to understand unwise things. For the reasons stated above, I chose these videos.
