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.

My characer

I’m going to talk about my character. I don’t know what you think about me, but I think my being energy and positive are my good points. If I take mistakes, I’m not down, stay positive. I try to keep smiling instead of crying. Some of my friends say "Hey! What a positive girl you are! That's very nice!" to me. I don't want to waste my life, so I'd like to keep smiling and enjoy my life as much as possible. Do you like my positive character?

If you have some troubles or when you are worrying and you want to cry, you can talk to me! I'm sure I can give positive words and make you smile.

Whitch is true?

 

1.        When I was a little child, my mother and I were in our garden. She was hanging out the laundry and I was playing there. Sometimes she looked at me and smiled to see my playing happily. When my mom finished her housework, she called me. She found my chewing something. “Misaki, what are you eating!? Show me!” She surprised and shouted to make my mouth opened. I was eating a snail!!!!  She picked the snail out of my mouth quickly and washed it.

     She says, “You ate escargot at a very young age!”

2.       When I was 4 years old, I tried cooking for the first time with my mother.

     We were making curry and rice which was one of my favorite dishes. My mom asked me to cut some vegetables such as carrots, onions and potatoes. Cutting onion was very tough and hard for a little girl because it made me cry!! I couldn’t stop tearing, so I wiped my eyes. Then, I shouted. “Ouch!!! My leg hurts!!” I dropped the kitchen knife and it cut my leg’s finger!! My mom was surprised and took me to  a  hospital immediately.
      The doctor stitched my finger. It took one month to heal completely. Anyway, it was a severe pain ever!:(

Visiting Tokyo

Visiting Tokyo was one of my best memories of the summer vacation.
My friends live in Tokyo, so I called them and they came to show me around Shibuya. We had dinner at the "Ramichan Cafe" in Nishiazabu. Actually, it was my mein purpose to visit Tokyo. "Ramichan" is Alex Ramirez-one of the most famouse and greatest baseball player in Japan. I've been a huge fan of him for a long time. His wife was running the restaurant.

I was amazed to found him!! My dream came true! I met him and he knew me. He said,"Hey Wassy chan! Long time no see! You are my  big fan ne!" I used to watch his baseball game in some stadiums and I had met him a few times. I was really happy to be remembered by him! We took many pictures and talked in English and Spanish. The Latin dishes were also very delicious.

When you visit Nishiazabu, why don't you have a nice dinner at Ramichan Cafe?

 

A Terrible Day

Since last night, this man, Jack has had a quarrel with his wife because she found out his infidelity with a young woman in his place of work. In the morning, his wife didn't made his breakfast and lunch. She even didn't give him money. He was shocked and apologized to her but she never listened to him. He couldn’t concentrate on his work due to his lack of sleep, but the boss gave him a lot of tough stuffs to him. He tried to buy lunch and a cup of coffee. However, he didn’t have much money, so he gave up and backed to his office. To make matter worth, he got to work overtime. He was too tired to die. After these tough works, he missed her wife’s dinner. He decided to break up with the young woman and apologize to his wife again. He visited the woman. She said “Hi Jack! Why don’t you go for a dinner and shopping? I fancy for the Viton’s bag! Can you buy it for me, Jack?” He replied “I’m so sorry Jessica, but I think we should break up. I really miss my wife. I can’t buy a bag or watch for you anymore.” Jessica looked very angry. Her face turned red. “Jack! You choose older woman!? I can’t believe it!!” Then she punched his face twice and she had gone. Jack fell over the stone, saying “Oh my god. Today was bloody terrible day.”

my favorite season

 My favorite season is spring. There are two reasons. First, I can see many beautiful flowers during the spring. In my hometown Kumamoto, there is a big cattle and there are a lot of cherry blossoms around the castle. I often go to a picnic with my friends.I moved to Kobe in this spring, so I couldn't see the blossoms in Kumamoto. However, I could see many cherry trees in Kwanseigakuin's entrance   ceremony,so I was happy. Also I was surprised that opening the blossoms was much later than my hometown. I found Kobe was a colder land.
 The second reason is that April 5th is my birthday. I can be a happy girl. We have many strawberries  in spring, so I can  have a strawberry cake made by my mother. It's delicious!
 I was a little sad because I couldn't spend my birthday with my family, but some new friends in this university celebrated my birthday. I was really happy!
For these reasons, I love spring the best.

  My favorite place is my grandparents' house. It takes only 15 minutes from my home by car. Thier house is not so spacious,but it's comfortable in any season. It has a cherry tree and I can see a lot of beautiful cherry blossoms in April. I often take some pictures under the tree with my grandparents. They also have huge croft and they grow onions,potatos,cucumbers and about ten kinds of vegetables and fruits. I can harvest and enjoy fresh seasonal vegetables. These are extremely delicious! Sometimes I cook then for my family.

 

I miss my grandparents's home. I'm planning to go back to Kumamoto and visit their home.

There are several advantages to living in a larger city.

I prefer to live in a larger city.
On March.I moved to Kobe from country in Kumamoto and  I found several advantages to living in a larger city. First, there are many places to enjoy shopping. In my hometown, there are  few shops to buy clothes or groceries, so I can hardly find my favorite one. However, Kobe has a large number of stores. I can enjoy shipping with my friends and I have many choices to buy my favorite clothes, bags and shoes. It seems that everyone in this large city is satisfied with this great environment. I'm really happy to come here.
 Second, we can meet many kinds of people in a large city. In my hometown, when I was a junior high school student,I was regarded as a good English speaker because most of people there are not good at English,for there are few opportunity to have exposure to English unless they go to a English conversation school. After moving to this large city and entering this university, I was surprised that many students in my department have experienced study abroad for more than one year or had had lived abroad for a long time. Their English skills are much better than mine. I was shocked at first,but now,I can learn many thinkgs from them,so I bless myself moving here. I'm going brush up my skills in this amazing and fantastic large city.

Hula

  I belong to the hula club and I have lessons once a week.Why did I started it? One of my best friend, Karen was a beautiful hula dancer.When I watched her performance, I was really moved to her dancing and I liked it so much. That's  why I started hula in my university.Hula is a traditional Hawaiian style of dancing. Many people are learning it not only in Hawaii but also all over the world,of course in Japan. Hula is getting more famous in Japan. It is said that there are hundreds of hula dancing schools in Japan. Speaking of hula, you must imagine the leis(necklace made of flowers) and beautiful dress. Yes! I love these dresses and accessories. I'm going to buy own dress tomorrow. I'm so excited! Of course I'll post it here. My aim is to be able to dance with many Hawaiian musics and to perform well on stages. Recently,I learn some basic steps. Karen said that the steps are very important to be a great dancer, so I always do my best. She also told me to keep smiling in anytime. She always dances hula with a shining smile. I don't have confidence with my smile,but want to try to keep a smile so that I can make the audiences happy as she told.
My club's name is "Monaty". There are 30 members in my club. This is our blog. Please visit us if you are interested in our activity. http://ameblo.jp/kghula-monaty/  Me ke aloha, Misaki
