My best movie review is third review “Romeo and Juliet” because it is the longest in my movie reviews and I watched the movie again for it. I felt fun when I watched the movie and my feeling was different before I watched it, so I could feel my change and growth.

My best book review is “The Piano”　because I could write about summary of this story well and I felt fun when I read the book. I think that having fun when we read books is important.

Baby Cruising Love

I have told about my favorite music and Perfume. "Baby Cruising Love" is a new song by Perfume. The sound is very very cute and three girls are very cute, too! When I listened to the song, I felt enjoy, fun and excited. Their songs are feminine, so I thought that women and girls will surely like their songs. I want a lot of people listen to the music. I put a video of "Baby Cruising Love" from youtube, so if you have some time, please watch it.

Manju

I went to go shopping today. First, I went to Tutaya and I owed four CD to there. It took a hour for me to pick up them, then I picked up them in all seriousness, so I am satisfied with them. I watched a lot of people but I didn't feel that I want to read some book, so I didn't buy any book. Today is rainy day, so there were not so much people in Kami-Street and Shimo-Street. I could walk easy. When I walk Kami-Street in front of the Manju shop, Manju jumped to my eyes! They were looked so delicious. Soon, I wanted to eat them, so I bought them and ate them in my house with a cup of coffee. It was a good time for me and I thought that relax time is very important! When you feel tired, you should have a break with tea or coffee and some sweets.

Cafe "Orange"

Today, I went to go shopping with my old sister because she wanted to buy a whisk. Saint Valentine's Day will come soon and she is planning on making a lot of sweets then for her colleagues, boss and boyfriend. There wasn't a good whisk, but we enjoy the time. We went to a cafe "Orange". This is a cozy cafe, so we like the cafe. A lot of sundry goods were sold at there. I like to look them. Then I felt relax. The picture is Banana French toast and Honey milk tea. They were good taste!! Now, a space that next to the cafe is doing construction work, so we looked into there. Into the space, there were a lot of book like a book store. The view excited me because I like books so much. Then, a door in the space was open and cafe's saleslady came in there. She came in front of me and opened a door. She said to me, " This is a book store and I'll open here at the beginning of next month. Then, please come here." When I listened to this, I felt so happy and I answered " Yes, I will!". After this, my sister and me planed to come there again.

Start of test

Now I should take a lot of test for I will get units. I took two test yesterday. One was test of physics. It was easy for me because I could see my class's note. I wrote content of class perfection every time and test was same content in class, so I didn't think that it is a problem. Another was test of about international organization. It was very difficult for me. I could see my note, too, but the question was very difficult so I answered them in haste. I didn't feel that I could answer well, but it finished so now, I should change my mind and study for next tests. This week will busy for me but I want to do my best and get units. (129 words)

Test for university's entrance examination

I send a mail for my high school's junior yesterday. Now, they are senior in high school and candidate. In my mail, I said that try your best and bless you! I want to go their test well for them. I experienced same thing two year ago, so I know that it is tired, troublesome and importance of motivation. I wanted to tell that and I want to they didn't make their cold. Some of them gave me answer mail for me today. They looked healthy, so I was happy. (90 words)

Faviorite song

I like this song. It was sang by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION. I like their songs when I was a junior in high school. I thought that the song was written about "courage". They said "Go". We have each hesitation about something. They encourage us in their song, so I have a little courage after I listen to the song and I can think that provably I can do it! I have often listened to it when I didn't have even a little courage. If you feel same feeling like me, please listen it and get courage for something. (98 words)

Takuro

Takuro is my hometown's mayor's name. I went to a coming-of-age ceremony. Then I met a lot of friend. They changed but they didn't change. Their looks changed, I didn't understand someone, but I felt he or she didn't change after I told with them. I took a lot of picture and I had a lot of memory. It is important for me and they are important for me, too. We decided to meet again next summer vacation. I'm looking forward to the event. I want to talk with them a lot!! It will be absolutely pleasant. (97 words)

Book Review 2-16

I read the book "Flight". The book was written about history of flight, structure of flight, famous people about flight and more. We could know a lot of things about flight with this book. The first people who think that want to fly. Surely I didn't think like that. Airplane help our life. I would not be able to go Hokkaido or other far-off places if there weren't airplanes. Airplanes are so great. I want to go a lot of place by airplane and know a lot of place.

I went to Chatmonchy's live with my friend today. I went Angela Aki's live yesterday and today is Chatmonchy's live. It was busy for me but I was happy because I could go both live. It was very happy thing for me. Chatmonchy is three girl's band. They were so cute and their taiking was fun. Music was wonderful!! I couldn't see them well because there were two people tho were taller than me, but their sound carries very well. The live house was little, so there were a lot of people with standing. My legs was tired because I kept standing for about three hours, but my feeling was fun and excited, so I didn't mind about it. I want to go their live again, so I want to they come again.

Angela Aki's Live

I went to Angela Aki's Live with my friend yesterday. I like her songs and my friend is same, so we went to it. There were a lot of people for the live and we were the one of them. The live was very good. Her voice was very beautiful so I felt relax so much. She didn't only sing, but also she told a lot. I think that taiking time and singing time was half and half. She like talking. I was surprised it, but I was satisfied the live. I got power from it so much. (98 words)

Talk show

I went to talk show with my friend. The speaker was Ayumu Takahashi. He wrote a lot of book. There are a lot of theme. For example, love, journey and more. He wrote a lot of book but I read one of his book. I read only one but I like the book so I went to the talk show. I listened to his talking for about two hours. After I listened it, I couldn't think about a lot of things well because his talking was large for my brain. There were many events in his life and he start that. I can't do like him, so I couldn't understand well, but It was a good experience for me. I leaned a thing. This is "importance of action". I'll have to do action more. The picture is one of his book.

Book Review 2-15

I read the book "The House on the Hill". The story was written about a poor man. He was a poor but he was bright. One day, he met a pretty girl and they fell in love. She was a rich and her mother didn't recognize their love and their marriage, so she didn't met his after that and she married with another old man. A lot of year had passed. Then he was a good reporter. He and his mother could life well. He met the girl but she changed like her mother so he didn't feel that she was pretty. He was sad about it. I felt that changing is sad thing sometime.

Lemon

The picture is lemon. I took the picture at my house's garden. Now, there are a lot of lemon. Lemon tree bears fruit every year but there weren't a lot of fruit, so this season has a good crops of lemon. I'm happy about it, but I don't know good idea about how to use it so I want to know it and try it. (65 words)

Japanese sweets

The picture is Japanese sweets. My sister bought them for my family. It is called "Wagashi". We usually eat this with green tea and they are very beautiful. Some Wagashi looks like Japanese flower. I like their because they are very beautiful and cute. Kind of flower are decided by season. If it is made in spring, it is spring flower. When I was a junior high school student, I like teacher's home visit because I could eat a Wagashi. I didn't eat it recently so I was very happy when I ate it. (94 words)
