End of Year

On the Christmas day, my boyfriend broke up with me. It was the most horrible day ever. I told about it to my English classmate and they encoureged me, so I calmed down. They are really great friends. I love them so much. On 28, I took shinkansen to return home in Kumamoto. I was very happy to meet my family. My lovely little bird "Love chan" remembered me! He perched on my hand! On 29, I had a really good time with my friends during high school. My hometown is famous for hot spring, so I could be relaxed at the hot spring on 30. On New Year's Eve, I stayed at home with my family. Because of the terrible Christmas memory, I had felt low during the end of year, but I was really happy to be with my lovely family. I didn't wanna back to Hyogo and I was crying when I get on the shinkansen. I miss my hometown,  

Christmaws Present

I got a part time job on October and I've saved money, so I decided to buy Christmas present for my younger sister, my cousins in Nagsasaki adn my boyfriend. I asked my mom what she want and mom told me that my sister didn't have nice clothes, so I went to the Nishinomiya Gardens. Her taste of clothes was totally different from mine, it was hard to choose a good one. Finally I bought a very nice sweater. If she doesn't like it, then I'm gonna wear.lol
 My cousins live in Nagasak。One is Koshin, a junior high school student, and the other one is Tsuyoshi,a little kid. Koshin plays football and he practices it veruy hard  everyday. I bought him a towel of Japanese national football team. It's very cool. I'm sure he loves it. For Tsuyoshi, I bought chocolates and anacks because he loves them. When he become a junior high school and begin football, I'll buy him a nice towel.
 I bought a very very lovely scarf for my boyfriend, but now I'm angry about him. I don't want to meet him nor see his face. I'm thinking about break up with him, so I may give the scarf to my dad.lol
Also, I wrote some Christmas cards for my family, cousins, ants, friends and boyfriend.

I can't wait for hearing their "Thank you very much Misaki!"

My favorite kitchener

I was very surprised and happy when I found this picture because she is my favorite kitchener and food writer.
Her name is Nigella. She is from Britain. She has a TV program broadcasted in Japan. She loves eating so much that she is making a lot of delicious dishes on the program. Her recipes are very simple and delicious. Also, they look gorgeous!

 

She makes her own meals by herself even if she is busy for her working.

I live alone, so I have to make my every meals. However it's hassle when I get home after the fifth class, so I have supper at school commons. I want to be able to good at cooking like her, so I'm going to try to make my every meals as much as I can.

 

The Death Penalty

 Japan should abolish the death penalty. There are many advantages.
・We can avoid the false charge.
 DNA analysis is the dominant witness to pass the death sentence. However, we can't say it's  totally accurate. In 1992, two girls were killed in Fukuoka. The crime suspect(容疑者) "K" insisted his innocence but he was killed. The court tried DNA analyses three times, and they found that  the criminal's blood didn't much with K's at once. It was too late because K had been already killed.  K's family asking the retrial still now. I don't know who is the killer, but if K didn't kill the two girls, it means that the court killed a innocent person. The crime is called 飯塚事件. It's true that DNA technology is getting better and better and it's almost accurate, but it is NOT perfect. Also, the judge is NOT also perfect. Everybody makes mistakes, so nobody have any right to pass the death sentence.

・We can remove the executioners and courts' stress.
 Death penalty is conducted by human who are caring for the prisoners everyday. According to Toshio Sakamoto-who was an executioner says that the death penalty makes them stress and many executioners become depression（鬱病）, so Japan should abolish capital punishment.
I absolutely agree with him. The Constitution establish "Everybody has right to live health and culturally"

Today, death penalty is minority. Many countries abolished it,but their society is kept safe. A lot of Japanese people who agree with the death penalty say about the families of vicims' feeling, but laws are not revenge. We must think seriously about public welfare and solve the case without killing people.

Apples

Look at this picture. These are British apple. Aren't they smaller than Japanese apples? When I visited UK, I ate British apples and I thought it was totally different from Japanese. First, the sizes are smaller as you can find out on the picture. It's small enough to take bites out of a whole apple. Japanese apples are so big that we have better to cut them and share, but I don't like this style.
 The taste and texture are also different. I think Japanese apples are softer and sweeter that British ones. I do prefer the latter. I love crunchy and sour apples.
I really miss British apples;(

Autumn

 Autumn is one of my favourite seasons because we have a lot of delicious food.
 My most favourite one is autumn's fruits, especially pears. They are very juicy and sweet. I used to ask my mother to buy them. Now, I live alone, so I can't ask her but she often sends me some delisious pears to my home. Kumamoto has many good pears!

I'm going to visit Kyoto at bigining of the next month. I'm so sxcited to see beautiful landscape.

 

Aso

 Aso is one of the most popular sightseeing areas in Kumamoto. I used to visit there often with my family. It takes about one hour driving from downtown, but it takes another one hour from my home.
Aso has a lot of charms. Let me talk about the two of them.
 First, beautiful landscape and nature. Aso is a countryside. We can't see any tall buildings or industrialized things there at all. Therefore, the view from our car is clear green and it's really beautiful. Look at this picture!

 

  Isn't it spectacular!? I took them in August. I was sleeping from my city and I woked up to find myself in such a beautiful world. Mt.Aso is famous for its largest caldera(カルデラ）in the world. There are many houses, shops and gardens in the caldera. Can you believe it? Also, Aso is declared a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage(世界農業遺産）

  Second, delicious food and clean water. As I told before, Aso has beautiful nature and agriculture is valued, food is really delicious. We can enjoy tasty beef, horse meet, fresh vegetables and rice. Especially I love these horse meet stakes, "Dagojiru(だご汁)", and Takanameshi(高菜めし).

 

When I visit Aso, I always eat these delicious food, and then I enjoy shopping at a 道の駅. I buy fresh vegetables there. Kumamoto is famous for clean water. You can drink mineral water from every taps. The water comes from Aso. The United Nation commended the highest award for the water! It means that Kumamoto's water is the best of the world! That's why we have delicious rice and vegetables.(Actually, the rice is also given the highest award in Japan!!)

I really love Aso. Although it's in my hometown Kumamoto, I think Aso is one of the most fantastic places I've ever been. I want you to visit there at once. I'm sure you can enjoy there!

Thank you for reading this long blog.
