Diary

Last Saturday, I attended a party of my circle in the college. It started at six forty at “Nihon-Kaisyouen”. The members of present people are over 50. Therefore, it was the large party. The newcomers were very polite and good members. They made a round of courtesy calls. Some of them were a little nervous, however, I thought they gradually got calm as the time passed. I also had a wonderful time over talking with friends, and OB. Finishing the first party, we went to the next Japanese bar. It was “Yumeya”. Having been there twice, I was very relaxed at that time. As I can not drink any alcohol, I hope to drink one bit by bit. I don't still understand a good taste of a beer. After finished the party, I was glad to hear that the freshmen had a wonderful time. I expect them to do good activities from now on.[154words]

Unfortunately, however, I did not take any pictures. In the afternoon, after I returned my business from my rest time, I was in charge of cash register. Having experienced it hardly, I could not find soon what I should do. With advice from other assistants, I accustomed myself to clear an account.
Finally, we danced “Banzai dance”. It is also the customary dance. It connotes the big success and the prosperity. I had a wonderful time. I want to go there again in next year.[205words]

Diary2

June 10 is my birthday. I am 21 years old now!
Yesterday, I went to Spora which is an amusement park with my circle friends. We played bowing for 3 games and I got 130 points on average. I was tired. After that, we went to a Japanese-style bar at Shimo-tori and celebrated the people who were born in June. I was very happy, and enjoyed the party with drinking and eating delicious meals.
Today, I got up at 8 a.m., ate my breakfast in a hurry, quickly finished dressing, and helped my mother and grandma to work the family business. All of my families are tired for it. As I did not hope something special, so we had a long break. We had supper at 7, and we ate Sushi at home. Although there was no special thing, I like a peaceful life. Therefore this birthday was a good day. [151words]

Diary1

I have been ill for 5 days, so I am very tired and uncomfortable. In addition, as I have a strong cough, I can't speak well. Yesterday, I went to a doctor about the sickness. He said it was a cold or the mycoplasma pneumonia. As I did not have any advance knowledge about the disease, I took a look about it, and could find the cases. People cannot find it easily and soon because it does not cause any special things at the first time. Though the infect ability is not strong, it is a kind of virus. The doctor recommended a blood test to me, but I decided to see how things go for a while. It may be just a cold, but I must be careful about the illness. However, I also have to be careful for a while. I will go to a doctor anytime soon. [150words]

Attyo

'Attyo' is one of my friends. Attyo is his nickname. The real name is secret. We have been friends for about 14 years. He is a university student at Fukuoka now.
He has his own web page “ANPAN!” What do you think does this word mean? It's not a kind of bread. This name has been used for a long time. It is a common word in our world.
When we were 5 grade students in my elementary school, I made a strange character called 'Anpanmen'. Although I gave him the name, he is not people but a man. That was a funny mistake by a little boy.
In those days, a video game which can make RPG (Role-Playing Game) was very popular among my friends. In the game, I made the character as an enemy. When I showed the character to him, he burst into laughing. Since then, I went on making the video game for about six month. The character got very popular in my classmates. It was an amazing thing for me. Then, Attyo asked me to draw this character on a book. I did OK his suggestion. The boom had continued for five to six months. It seemed to be a dream time. “ANPAN” comes from the wonderful event.
Now, the web site got an award and about a half of millions people visit there. The contents are about Pokemon and music of video games. Please come there if you have time. [246words]

Pets

These are my pets. They often visit my house and stay on a wall for a while because many bugs come there.
First creature is a tree frog. He/she often is on a wall of my house. He/she eats little bugs very fast. Although I want to watch the moment, but I often miss it.
Second is a gecko. He/she also eats little bugs in a moment. His/her tail is a little cute.
They are on a wall before I notice them. They don't often move quickly because they have to catch and eat their foods.
Last is a little dragonfly. I found him/her at a living room. He/she looks beautiful, I felt. He/she perhaps was lost. He/she dangle on a rope.

There are many forests near my house. Therefore, these wild animals come there. I like them because I can know the lives of them and I think that they are summer features.[154words]

Damp weather

It has been damp weather these days. I do not like such weather.
One day after a damp day, I went to a yard. Then, I found a strange thing in front of me.
It looked like a mushroom, but it was so bitty and slim. I had never seen such a thing since then, so I took the picture. In spring, I usually see horsetails there. In a rainy season, I saw it. What do I see in fall and winter? I am a little lucky because I get chances to watch a seasonal plant or thing.
I thought it is a poison mushroom. Of course, I did not eat it. [112words]

'McFLURRY'

I had an exam in the evening, but I had other things to do.
First, I had to go to Higo bank to convert yen into pound. I arrived there at 8, but the bank open at 9. The spare time is a hour. I decided to go to Shimo-tori. However, almost all shops were closed. I didn't have any idea what I should do next. 50 minutes passed, as I was hungry so I went to a McDonald to have a breakfast.

I had a morning dish. As I had never eaten it since then, I was very happy. The picture is this. Amazingly, something sweet like syrup is used in the buns. Therefore, the hamburger smelled sweet. It was delicious. In addition, it was the first time for me to eat 'McFLURRY'. The price is 300 yen. Although it was a little expensive, the taste was very good.

After eating my breakfast, I went to Higo bank again, and converted yen into pound. Then, I went to Hikari-no-mori to watch a movie with my friend. The guests are only me and my friend. The room looked like a reserved room. We enjoyed watching the movie as if we had been rich men. It was a precious experience. I will never forget this happening.. [215words]

"Tyrant Habanero pepper's delicious soup"

I found a new product in Lawson today. This is the picture. It is "Tyrant Habanero pepper's delicious soup". The price is 120 yen. The message says that it is compatible with sandwiches or rice balls. The illustration is cool, but I do not understand why the character gets angry. It shows the spiciness, I think.

I imagined the taste was like a tomato juice with Habanero pepper's essence. However, the image was broken up by the real taste. The taste was like waterish Pizza-man sauce. If you have eaten Pizza-man, you could imagine the taste. This beverage's taste is similar to it. What is worse, it was not spicy and other taste like the flavors of chicken and vegetable are a little stronger than the spiciness. It is not spicier than a couple of drops of jalapeno sauce.

What I want to say is not to buy it. Do not buy it, or you will regret! [157words]

The spiciest war in 2009

The spiciest war in this year broke out today!
I bought a strange beverage the other day. I wanted to eat or drink something very spicy today because I had taken a mistake in that day.
I bought these fascinating products in Seven Eleven and Lawson today. The left product is 'Habanero, the super tyrant'. The package says the spiciness is twice as spicy as usual one.
The right product is 'Jolokia, the great devil'. The real name of jolokia is 'Bhut Jolokia' and it is the spiciest spice in the world now! It is also called 'a phantom spice' and it means that few people can understand how spicy it is. the spiciness is about twice as spicy as that of hebanero pepper.
At first, I ate the left. The taste is much spicier than that drink I had drunk the other day. When I finished eating almost all of them, I could not help stopping sweating.
Next, I ate the right. The taste is more terrible than that of the left. My sweat began to run from my body since I had finished eating a half of them. In the end, I ate the rest of them at a stroke. I won the battle, but my tongue did not work well for a little. It bites the tongue.
Finally, I give you an advice. Please prepare something to drink by you when you eat them. A dairy product like a yogurt is better. I'm sure it helps you from the terrible spiciness. [254words]

Health and Food

Today, the lifestyle of food is changing rapidly. Moreover, this makes children’s thoughts for the food worse and worse. What is the problem?
The main problem is having too many likes and dislikes for children in what they eat. Then, I expect that two main reasons cause this problem.
First, one can say the appearance of the fast-food shop and convenience store is part of the problem.
Second, it is how parents raised their children. Today, the breeding of parents seems to be short. Some parents have too much work and cannot prepare dishes for their children. As people can purchase many foods cheaper and easily because of the convenience store and fast food store, they come to use them. For example, the children who go to a crammer or have more time to be alone at home often eat a box lunch of a convenience store. As a result of this, the various bad influences; what they eat become fixed; the balance of nourishment gets out of shape and they can get ill.
Cooking homemade dishes is very important. Therefore, the main solution is making the time to cook a dish for the children. If their parents can do so, the cooking guidebook gives them many ideas and knowledge for solving the problem; changing the food’s shape or taste, for example.
In the future, the lifestyle will become more useful, but we have to be careful about our health. [240words]

Umai-bou

Today, I talk about popular snacks loved by many people in Japan.
It’s ‘Umai-bou’ (A delicious stick). There are many kinds of tastes sold at many stores.
So, I introduce some tastes and make a few comments on each.

This taste is so simple that everyone can eat it easily. Moreover, it leaves a little sweet taste in your mouth, so you may be able to eat others one after another.

At first, you may feel the taste of sauce for a second, a weak acid taste comes next to that, and sweetness comes at last. This product includes some little green laver, so do not forget to clean your mouse.

Last Saturday, I went playing billiards with my friends.

Suddenly, my friend spilled oolong tea on the sofa but the can of oolong tea fell headlong into the sofa so the can did full handstand and became the situation! [39words]

The Movie Star

I will talk about my favorite movie. What is my favorite movie? I have watched a lot of movies, so it is difficult for me to select the best movie but I would venture to say that the best movie is “The Lord of the Rings”, which is my favorite movie.
“The Lord of the Rings” is famous as an epic high fantasy novel written by J. R. R. Tolkien, which is also the origin of the movie. The story can be divided into three parts, “The Fellowship of the Ring”, “The Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”. Therefore, I leave out all these plots because it is too long to talk about them, so I will talk about the prologue and characters of these stories at first.
These stories concern humanoid people known as Hobbits, Elves, Men, Dwarves, Wizards, and Orcs. In addition, there is the Dark Lord, Sauron, who made Ring of Power and person who has the ring can control Middle-earth, the world of these stories. The nine braves fight with the forces of evil over the ring. The nine braves consist of various races as above so the members are Frodo who is main character, Sam, Pippin, Merry, who are Hobbits, Gandalf who is a Wizard, Aragorn, Boromir who are Men, Legolas who is a Elf, and Gimuli who is a Dwarf. Each of them has them own features. Hobbits have a kind heart, love for nature, and especially, they are short. Wizards have a special power but they become good or evil depending on using the power. Elves are noble and elegant, and what’s more, they have magical charm. They have basically immortal life. Dwarves have a keen sense of justice. Men only satisfy own desire, so they are described as feeble human in these stories.
Next, I will talk about my memorable scenes because a lot of scenes impressed me. One of the scenes was that Sam said to moribund Frodo that he can’t bear the ring’s burden but he can shoulder him. Saying so, Sam shouldered Frodo and took one step at a time. I think there was nobody but was moved to tears watching this scene, so this scene is my most memorable scene. In addition, I was impressed that there was “Elvish languages”. The language was made by J. R. R. Tolkien and came from Old Celtic. There are two characteristics in the language. First, it sounds a song for men so most of men can’t understand their language. Second, their words including dull sound were used in a bad sense. Therefore, the author, Tolkien creates an origin language. It is wonderful for me that he originates new language.
That is why I like the movie, “The Lord of the Rings”. I never get tired of watching this movie and I learn a lot of things watching this movie.
Here is a wiki page. [485words]

The Worst day

I can remember clearly the day when I had a lot of misfortunes. I think it is the worst day in my life.
The morning on the day was rainy so I went to my university with my umbrella. It was so far so good but I found that I forgot to take my commuter pass with just when I got it, so I went back my home to take it. Then, I rushed back to the Yatsushiro station and managed to catch a next train. In the train I got sleepy so I didn't know when I arrived at Kumamoto station. Because I got off hastily the train to change trains there, I left my umbrella in the train but then I didn't find it. I found it when I left Suizenji station. It is too late then. The train had gone. Therefore, I hurried through the rain to my university and I got wet in the rain. As a result, I was soaking wet all the day because it was rainy when I also went back home.
That is why that it started forgetting my commuter pass all, so I have always taken care not to forget something since that day. I think the day was my worst day. [211words]
