There are a lot of beautiful buildings for example, a Palace of Versailles and Chartres. And Champagne and Bordeaux wine are very famous! The weather is little cold full year. In autumn, it is a lot of rain.&lt;br /&gt;I'm rich because my father is a baseball player and my mother is a model in the world. I can see the Eiffel Tower from my house. My job is a police officer. I studied hard to be a police officer. I have been a police officer for 10 years. There are a lot of criminals so I'm often tired but I like this job.&lt;br /&gt;By the way. I like cocktail because I was a bartender when I was a college student. I knew many cocktail. I dislike cooking because I have to do skin-care of my hands. But I like eating!&lt;br /&gt;I don't need cook because there is a butler in my house. She always cooks for us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;☆interview test☆&lt;br /&gt;Mario Brothers' Pizza and Pasta&lt;br /&gt;A:I'd like to go to Mario Brothers' Pizza and Pasta because a price is good! We can eat only $15 and we can eat like mama's pasta! Moreover, the restaurant is near downtown. It takes 3 minutes so let's go!&lt;br /&gt;B:It is good! But the restaurant takes some time to make, I'm hungry. And it is very noisy.&lt;br /&gt;A: Don't worry, you can eat buffet as much as you want for $10 at only lunch time. How do you think?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pico de Gallo&lt;br /&gt;A:I'd like to go to Pico de Gallo because it is reasonable! There are hand made dishes for example, Tacos and flied ice cream. And they have international beers and wines! We can enjoy music, Mariachi which is kind of music.&lt;br /&gt;B:So good! I like wine but there is not parking and the restaurant is out side of town.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miyazu&lt;br /&gt;This is a Japanese restaurant which is popular restaurant in downtown. There is a arena parking near the restaurant. It has sukiyaki, sushi, okonomiyaki and yakiniku. It is healthy foods and low calorie. And it is reasenable price!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mandarin Palace&lt;br /&gt;This is Chinese restaurant. It is a expensive restaurant but there is a iron chef! and they have 60 dished. Moreover, there is an award winning menu. Especially, mandarin duck is very popular. It is very delicious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That all. Thank you read it. I want to pass final test.

I knew it because I have watched it in class when I was a freshman. This story is very interesting but it is a few hard to understand because the story tells about culture and tradition. The casts speak not only English but they speak Maori.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In New Zealand coastal village, Maori claim descent from Paikea, the whale reder. Paikea is a heroine who was born as twins but her brother and her mother die in childbirth. The surviving girl is named Paikea. Her father’s name is Porourang. His father is a chief in the village. The chief wished his son gave birth to a boy because the chief has no disciple but a boy die and Paikea is alive so the chief said that the girl is needless. The chief’s name is Koro who refuses to acknowledge Paikea as the inheritor of the traditional. Paikea is left to her grandparents by her father. Her grandmother, Flowers, sees a child in desperate need of love. And Koro learns to love the child. He goes to Paikea at school everyday. When Pakea’s father, Porourang, a fated international artist, returns home after 12 years, Koro hopes everything is resolved and Porouang will to accept destiny and become his successor. But porourang has no intention of becoming chief. Porourang suggesting to Paikea that she comes with him. She decided to go but she returned quickly. Koro don’t consider woman to be a chief so he gathered 12 years old boys. And he is let them hard training to decide the future leader of their tribe. They get to teach the ancient chants, tribal lore and warrior techniques. Koro don’t make Paikea teach them so Paikea practices it in secret but it has come out. Koro get angry. Meanwhile, deep within the ocean, a massive herd of whales is responding, drawn towards Paikea and their twin destinies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a very deep story. We seldom think about Japanese culture. We should think about our culture.&lt;br /&gt;(337 words)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.odeo.com/flash/audio_player_standard_gray.swf" quality="high" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="valid_sample_rate=true&amp;amp;external_url=http://www2.kumagaku.ac.jp/teacher/wink/Tomei1term09/8166mr3.mp3" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" width="300" height="52"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5077800936098783034-6244732753781483464?l=chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/6244732753781483464/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/movie-review-6-whale-rider.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077800936098783034/posts/default/6244732753781483464'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077800936098783034/posts/default/6244732753781483464'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/movie-review-6-whale-rider.html' title='Movie Review #6 Whale Rider'/><author><name>Chikako</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07478266089718164467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077800936098783034.post-6968383450689419237</id><published>2009-12-15T16:14:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-15T16:54:52.413-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diary'/><title type='text'>Star☆</title><content type='html'>I watched the twins meteor stream on Monday with my boyfriend.

I explain the characters of this movie. The main character is Phil who is a weather forecaster. But he really wants to be an anchorman. Next, Rita is a producer. Larry is a cameraman. I explain the outline. Phil, a popular weather forecaster, Rita and Larry went to Pennsylvania. Every year, this city holds a festival. It is traditionally said that a woodchuck like a mole awakes from hibernation tells spring arrival on February 2. They went there to cover the event but Phil complained because it is a country festival so he was compelled to cover it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They checked into a countrified hotel. At 6:00a.m. an alarm woke up Phil and a radio program which named “Happy Groundhog Day!! Yehh” started so he was in a bad mood. He relays curtly and they would leave there but they were stopped by snow stone. Moreover, he just takes a shower, it has trouble and he is showered with cold water. And he goes out, and then he is likely to be forced to listen about Groundhog Day from a stranger so he runs away. He is more and more in a bad mood.&lt;br /&gt;His alarm goes off next morning and he heard a familiar radio program “Happy Groundhog Day!! Yehh!” He has no doubt that he takes a shower then he is showered with cold water again. He goes out and meets the stranger who met yesterday and he is likely to be forced to listen same things. Phil used to spend same day. Gradually, he learns how to live well.&lt;br /&gt;One day, he went to café with Rita and he ate plenty of dishes, smoking because he didn’t need to take care of his health. Phil repeats the same days so he knows Rita’s favorite things and he knew everything about her. Rita thinks it is unnatural and she keeps away him. He becomes nervous and he attempts suicide for example, run on route, bump an obstacle and he was cached by policeman. But he can’t die and he in bed next morning. He knows something as for the day so he helps a lot of people who have trouble. Moreover, he uses the phenomenon so he can play piano and give Rita. He is given credit a lot of people and Rita loves him. At last, the tomorrow morning came.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This story is very interesting and it is an unreal story. If I were Phil, I would enjoy every day. I think every day is precious. This move makes me think about day’s importance.

First, Manami. She told about entertainers. She likes kuri-mu shichu who is from Kumamoto. I like them, too. Manami was well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, Kana. She told about bears, Rirakkuam, care bear and suzi-zuu. These are felux items for us. There are a lot of people who fell the stress so bears heal us. Her talk was interesting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next, Yoko. She told about character lunch box. Japanese mother makes lunch box for her husband and her children. Character lunch box mean making character which use some ingredients. For example, totoro is made with a rice ball, a laver and a quail egg. Yoko showed us the picture. It is very cute. Yoko doesn't make lunch box but she said that she wants to make it for her child in the future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, Machiko. Her talk was very funny and interesting. She talked about history girls who mean know the details of history. She explained with characters of Sengokumusou which is a popular game in Japan. I don't play game so I didn't know it but I was interested in it because her explain was very good! That all:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About Presentation!&lt;br /&gt;My presentation group members are Rika, Maki and Misaki. We reserch if we need more park in University. A lot of people answered "Yes". The reasons are variously for example, one of students said she wants to eat lunch. Other student said they want to take a walk, talk with their friends and sleep. These answers are very interesting!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We told about the subject of each other with other group. The group members are machiko, Yoko and Risa. Their subject is that if students need more rocker room. Because students have heavy bags so it is hard to bring every time. Women students may say "Yes" but men students will not need it.&lt;br /&gt;It is interesting subject.

I have watched it 2 years ago. I like such movies, for example, STEP UP and Sound of Music. I was moved very much. I like their performance and I want to see them.&lt;br /&gt;The hero is Devon Miles. He has an excellent talent of drum technique. He inherited this sense from his father. He doesn’t live with him. He was scouted by a direct of A&amp;amp;T University in Atlanta. The university has an excellence marching band. They play a wonderful performance at the time of sports games. They have a rival, Morlis Brown University. They battle for honor and win. Deon has excellent technique so he takes part in the big battle. He is a good player, better than his classmates and he is very kind. However, he is self-centered. He couldn’t obey leader. He can play without music. He remembers a man’s play. It is very wonderful so the leader told him that he plays the music and leader gave a musical score to him. He has a serious problem. It is he can’t read music. He lied to University so he can’t take part in the game. He doesn’t like to study music. But his leader teaches him. It is a moving scene. He can read music and take part in the game. It is very wonderful. It was good team play and a good performance. I like this move because their expression is real and nice.(238 words)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.odeo.com/flash/audio_player_standard_gray.swf" quality="high" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" flashvars="valid_sample_rate=true&amp;amp;external_url=http://www2.kumagaku.ac.jp/teacher/wink/Tomei1term09/8166mr4.mp3" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" width="300" height="52"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5077800936098783034-7848026772063240562?l=chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/7848026772063240562/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/movie-review4-drumline.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077800936098783034/posts/default/7848026772063240562'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077800936098783034/posts/default/7848026772063240562'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/movie-review4-drumline.html' title='Movie Review#4 Drumline'/><author><name>Chikako</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07478266089718164467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GRhw4XNw74A/Swx6THY9IuI/AAAAAAAAAG0/REESKFs1lAo/s72-c/73e36dd3414303a4.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077800936098783034.post-3406192493396858051</id><published>2009-11-10T16:37:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-01T17:09:13.524-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie review'/><title type='text'>Movie Review#3 Cars</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GRhw4XNw74A/SvoHgZyuQQI/AAAAAAAAAGs/BdPyd8_hCSc/s1600-h/9c35c0d9b4465a7c.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402638956245172482" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 155px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 116px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GRhw4XNw74A/SvoHgZyuQQI/AAAAAAAAAGs/BdPyd8_hCSc/s200/9c35c0d9b4465a7c.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I watched Cars. I have watched this movie 2 years ago but I didn’t remember it. This story appears mostly cars and it is an interesting story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A hero is Lightning McQueen. He is a racer who aims to be a champion of the Piston Cup. He has good technique and he has many fans but he is too self-confident. So his manner provoked his circumference and he doesn’t have friends. He had an extra race of the Piston Cup but three cars goaled the same time so they had to bring to an end in California a week later. He got lost his way and wandered into Lnagater Spring that local area. He wanted to leave this area. But he noticed really precious things through the kindly residents there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was hard to live in the town for McQueen. Moreover he couldn’t race. His body was in tatters. But he got along with the residents. He could make friends there. His friends were very funny. One of them was cheerful. There is a legendary racer and a bilingual in English and Italian and a serious car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like this movie because this movie is very pleasant. There are various cars so I enjoyed watching. I had thought this movie was boring because I wasn’t interested in cars so I didn’t feel like watching.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn’t explain well but I want to watch again in Japanese.

We stayed there for 2 days. I will tell you about my plan. First day, my mother and I got up at 7 and we got ready for a trip. We went to the Aso Kumamoto Airport. We ate breakfast and we got on board a plane. I like planes so I was excited in the airport. I took pictures of planes. To my regret, I couldn't sit by the window... But! I could see Fuji mountain after a short time. I was very happy because I said that I want to see it sometime!! I think taht I was really excited more than anyone else. We arrived at Haneda ariport at 12. We joined my sisters. My sisters live in Fukuoka so we went to Haneda airport respectively. First, we went to Yokohama by train because my mother's cousin got married so he held a wedding ceremony at a hote in Yokohama. The hotel is very excellent.

This park also famous place. The view was very beautiful!! I like this park! I think the park just hit for date... We were enjoying Yokohama to the full. We stayed at the Shinagawa Prince Hotel in Tokyo so we backed Tokyo at 10. I was very sleepy and I was tired because we walked all over Yokohama. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;After having arrived at hotel room, we played cards and we went to bed at 1 a.m.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Next day, I had to get up at 7 but I got up at 8! I hurry to change clothes. We went to Tokyo Disney Sea!&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GRhw4XNw74A/SvDSdPi8nYI/AAAAAAAAAGk/LIDWVDqi9-8/s1600-h/3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400047353048374658" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 112px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 201px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GRhw4XNw74A/SvDSdPi8nYI/AAAAAAAAAGk/LIDWVDqi9-8/s200/3.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; I went there for the first time. I really enjoyed! There were many people who want to take a picture with Mikey and they had to satand in a line but I could take Mickey and Miney! Miney posed for me! I was happy and it was very cute!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Although on ordinary day there were a lot of people so I had to wait more than 1 hour. However, the attractions were very amusing. We ran and walked. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We drew a winning number of the Desniy show. We were lucky! Disney makes us happy. I want to stay at Disney hotel sometime...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Unfortunately, when we went back the hotel, it began to a heavy rain! I didn't have an umbrella so I got wet the whole body and it was very very cold! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But I enjoyed Disney Sea!!(466 words)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5077800936098783034-1104320467833197621?l=chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/1104320467833197621/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/tokyo.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077800936098783034/posts/default/1104320467833197621'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077800936098783034/posts/default/1104320467833197621'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/tokyo.html' title='Tokyo&amp;Yokohama'/><author><name>Chikako</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07478266089718164467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GRhw4XNw74A/SvDKtvXn6NI/AAAAAAAAAGU/7g4w1zQMNqg/s72-c/5.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077800936098783034.post-7754619533635426715</id><published>2009-10-27T00:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-12-01T17:03:52.660-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='movie review'/><title type='text'>Movie Review #2 Mrs. Doubtfire</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GRhw4XNw74A/Suac3Z47xRI/AAAAAAAAAGE/UQbd4mzHft8/s1600-h/220px-Mrs._Doubtfire"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397173679106540818" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GRhw4XNw74A/Suac3Z47xRI/AAAAAAAAAGE/UQbd4mzHft8/s200/220px-Mrs._Doubtfire" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I watched this movie. I didn’t know this movie but it was very interesting. I will talk about this movie’s content now. This movie is a story of a funny family. I thought that this movie includes family love and this is a comedy movie. Let me introduce characters. A hero is Daniel Hillard. He had a family but he was an out of work voice actor. The voice actor was a key point later on. He had a wife and three children. His wife’s name is Miranda. She works as interior designer. Hillard doesn’t work and he scatters something about their house so she reaches the end of her patience with their marriage. She decides to get a divorce and she gets primary custody of their three children. Daniel meet his children only on Saturday night. He loves them so he is disappointed. Children also love him. One day, Miranda is looking for a housekeeper. Daniel hears it and he comes up with an idea. It is funny thing. He dresses as a housekeeper. He used to be a voice actor so he can change his voice to woman’s voice. He asks his friend to make a fake face. His outward appearance is perfection so nobody knows what the housekeeper is Daniel. But he encounters several troubles. The most terrible happen is that he stands up to pee and he forgets locking on so his son, Chris looks it. He explains to Chris and his daughter, Lydia and he tells them that they can’t say Miranda.&lt;br /&gt;A man approach Miranda so he disturbs him by doing something. But he exposes his wife one day. She is angry. However, she knows his love for their children.&lt;br /&gt;Miranda receives full custody of the children as the judge is somewhat disturbed by Daniel's behavior.&lt;br /&gt; She let Daniel be the housekeeper, and the two decide to share custody after all. In the final moments of the movie, Daniel picks the kids up to spend an afternoon with them while Mrs. Doubtfire appears on television, saying that no matter what type of living arrangement children of divorce may have, love will maintain the bond of family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like this story and Daniel is very cute. I want to have a family which is full of love. But I want my husband to work.

The tastes were delicious! We was very happy! My sister took a picture of us and she gave us it. After that we went shopping at Tenjin-core. We bought a coat. I wouldn't buy anything but I wanted it!! The coat is very cute and cheap. I want to wear it.&lt;br /&gt;I will go to Yokohama with my family next month. I'm looking forward to the trip!

He always ran and he ran to wark in recored time. He was very pleased with himself. Tortoise always plodded. One day, he  had suggested race to everyone but they declined. However, Tortoise tried. They were surprise and the rece was even in all the newspaper. The day, the race started but Tortoise didn't hurry. Hare disappeared at once. As soon as Hare stopped and rested.

I had been not interested in this movie but it was really interesting. It was not just interesting; the story is including family love and family power. I thought that the movie looks like one peace which is the Japanese anime because to Mr. Incredible family has special powers and characters of one peace also have special powers. I will introduce Mr. Incredible's family. Mr. Incredible’s real name is Bob Parr. He had marvelous physical strength so he can break something and he can move and bring something. He helps many people in his city so he was called superhero. But he can’t work as a hero because he breaks something so the government prohibits superhero and his family have to conceal themselves. Moreover his family can’t use their power anywhere and they can't reveal that they have super power. Bob Parr has a wife, Elastigirl. Her real name is Helen Parr, Mrs. Incredible. She has flexible, strong free limbs for expansion and contraction. She also can swell like a balloon. Bob and Helen have a daughter, a son and a baby. Daughter's name is Violet Parr. She can be transparent. She is a shy girl but she fights bravely for the family. A son names Dashiell Robert Parr. He is a funny boy and he likes mischief. He can dash quite quickly. Despite of rhe prohibit from his parents to use the power, he uses it in school. His mother is always angry. But he takes an active part in fight. He can run on water. A baby seldom appears but he also has miracle power of the end. Mr. Incredible goes to island that there are many robots to fight but he hid it from his wife because she says that they are prohibited to use their power in public place. But he is caught by Syndrome. He was an enthusiastic Mr. Incredible fan 15 years ago and he wanted to be a sidekick of Mr. incredible but he was rejected. So he couldn’t believe in super heroes and he killed all of heroes by robots that he developed. He hates Mr. Incredible so he would kill him but he can’t win his family unity.It was cool and I was moved. I think a father, Mr. incredible may be an egocentric but they have love for family so it is happy end. I will watch this movie in Japanese. I think I can know more interest.

This book was written by Keigo Higashino. I'm sorry this is a Japanese book. I like his books. I think that you know him. He made a lot of popular novels for example, Garireo. I think a lot of people have watched it on TV. He is very smart and his books are really interesting! I want you to read him books. Moreover, I like mystery novel. Recently, I read a book which was written by Kanae Kaede. Its book's name is "kokuhaku". Do you know? She got an award of book stores this year. I recommend the book to you. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"A read finger" is very interesting. It is a new novel. The content of the story is that a girl was killed by a boy. His parents hid the happen. But it was expose by public prosecutions. His father told "my mother who is dementia killed her".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;His family lived with his mother but his wife was not got along well with his mother. So they seldom talked and ate dinner. One day, his mother begun to show signs of senility. They didn't take her seriously more and more... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then a boy killed a girl. The parents wanted to protect son so he had came up with the idea that his mother killed. That's too much awful!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;However, his mother wasn't dementia! She pretended to be dementia. She knew that grandchild killed her. She told her son's family; his family was on the verge of collapse because his family hadn't had "love".

I recommend you for date. Before GOZAN was built, there was a movie theater so a lot is large. Guests says it looks like a maze.( ´∀｀)!&lt;br /&gt;I want you to come!! But you need to have about more 3000 yen... The foods and drinks is not cheap however they are delicious!! And there is a gozan bar next to GOZAN!! It is a orthodox bar so I recommend you! A bartender is a riddle man but he is kind he has a lot of knowledge cocktail, wine and whiskey etc. I respect him.&lt;br /&gt;By the way, yesterday, a new face came to GOZAN. I was happy because GOZAN has few women now. She is 19 years old and she goes to Kumamoto University. I hope she doesn't resign job. I enjoy working! Please come in!!

I was surprised when I had been to kinkakuji. I had thought that I want to look it! But my grandmother said that she likes &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Ginkakuji &lt;/span&gt;more than&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"&gt; Kinkakuji &lt;/span&gt;because it is a dignified temple. I have never thought such as it so I regretted not having seen it. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;However, it is really beautiful! I like the beautiful gold!

I had been to Kansai until 18th from 13th to trip alone! I wanted to refresh so I went there alone. First day, I went to &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Kobe&lt;/st1:city&gt;, &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Akashi&lt;/st1:city&gt; and &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Himeji&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; in Hyogo. I wanted to look &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Himeji&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;cattle. I went to Ijinn-kan in &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Kobe&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;. Do you know? It is famous and very interesting! Next, I went to &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Akashi&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;. I wanted to eat Akashi-yaki. It was delicious!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;I didn’t have time so I could not look &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Himeji&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; cattle the day. I went to &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Himeji&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; cattle next day. It was excellent! It is big!! I was moved and happy! The day, I also went to &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;Osaka&lt;/st1:city&gt; to look &lt;st1:city st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place st="on"&gt;Osaka&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; cattle. It was late to go there so I could not enter the cattle. However, the view was beautiful! And I could look air planes. I had a nice time! Next, I went to my friend’s house. I stayed there. She and I went to dinner in KOROKOROYA. The restaurant is famous! Many entertainers come to the restaurant for example, Hitoshi Matumoto and Kanjani. I will write about next day’s trip tomorrow.(186 words)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5077800936098783034-8270517017383568620?l=chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/8270517017383568620/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/blog-post.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077800936098783034/posts/default/8270517017383568620'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077800936098783034/posts/default/8270517017383568620'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/blog-post.html' title='ＴＲＩＰ　ＡＬＯＮＥ'/><author><name>Chikako</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07478266089718164467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GRhw4XNw74A/SrOSkXwH4qI/AAAAAAAAAEs/USQtaPKehcc/s72-c/IMG_1600.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077800936098783034.post-27042114778140257</id><published>2009-09-08T04:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-08T04:29:19.124-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diary'/><title type='text'>SUMMER VACATION</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal" align="left" style="text-align:left;mso-pagination:widow-orphan"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"    style="font-family:Georgia;mso-fareast-ＭＳ Ｐゴシック&amp;quot;;mso-font-kerning:0ptfont-family:&amp;quot;;font-size:13.0pt;color:black;"&gt;I enjoy my summer vacation!

It is a tour of JAL EXPRESS. Do you know JEX? I think many people have taken a company's air plane. The JEX's flight attendants name sky cast. They wear the red uniform. Have you ever seen them? They are very cute! I want to be a sky cast in the future so I'm going to this tour. I heard that I will be able to wear this uniform. I'm very happy!

I don't have confidence so I think I will not be able to pass. I will have to take its again next year... When I study, I always feel sleepy so I can't concentrate it. I don't want to drop this year's tests. By the way, I watched a lot of movies this week... On July 25, I watched Harry Potter. I have watched it once but it is interesting very much. And I watched High school musical. I had watched High School Musical series 1 in KGU. It made me happy because they were always singing songs. It is also interesting. I think you know "ponyo". Do you know? It was produced by Hayao Miyazaki. His movies are really amazing and funny. Especially, I like "Raputa".  How do you think? I really like watching movies. I watched "Benjamin Baton". It's spell may be difference... I wanted to watch it last year. This story is a miracle. This move's actor is very cool. I felt this story's content is so so. It was dark. I expected it was more interesting.(223 words)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5077800936098783034-8689128802626358910?l=chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/8689128802626358910/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/diary_29.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077800936098783034/posts/default/8689128802626358910'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077800936098783034/posts/default/8689128802626358910'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/diary_29.html' title='Diary'/><author><name>Chikako</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07478266089718164467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077800936098783034.post-1762530778908627543</id><published>2009-07-21T08:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-21T08:47:32.972-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diary'/><title type='text'>My best Friends</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GRhw4XNw74A/SmXjDoTB4kI/AAAAAAAAAEU/QinIJU0EgKw/s1600-h/mail.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 117px; height: 166px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GRhw4XNw74A/SmXjDoTB4kI/AAAAAAAAAEU/QinIJU0EgKw/s200/mail.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360940582950789698" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is my best friends.They are very cute and very kind.

I had been looking forward to seeing them. We went to J-coffee. It atmosphere was very nice! I liked the coffee but stuff was bad because they made no effort to pleasant. It was very valuable gathering for us but they ruined it. But we talked many things and I had a very good time! We talked about our future. It was very funny. Next, we went to Haagen Dazs. We ate four tastes ice creams there. We were happy! And we took this picture in the FESTA. We went back at 9 p.m. I was very happy yesterday. I want to gather again.

The hot spring's name is "yusen". Do you know? It is a puzzling location so I think almost people don't know. The hot spring has a family hot spring. Despite it was 12a.m., there are many people so I was surprised. I drunk a coffee milk with him it was very delicious! I like to go to the hot spring in spring or autumn better than summer because when I back home by car, I can feel a cool wind. I like it. How do you think?  &lt;br /&gt;By the way, I can't go to New Zealand!! I was really disappointed. I really want to go there! I was taught my host family from mu teacher. I think my host family might be looking forward to coming me. I will write a letter for my host family. I want to meet them and I hoped my teacher let us go there. I was sad. We planed many things. I don't know what I do next year. I think it will change. I'm very very sad!

When I buy it, it is a reward for me. But, on Wednesday,  we can eat 7 tastes ice cream only 500 yen!! This picture is it. Moreover, I can choose 7 tastes so I was very happy! I think it is very luxury. On Wednesday, the Haagen Dazs is always crowed with young people. The people are almost women. And recently, it is very hot so everyone wants to eat ice cream.

I have many favorite movies. I like romance movies, animated films, comedy, horror, musical, foreign and Japanese movies. I like all of the movies. Especially, I like “The letter for you”. I was moved for the first time but I watched it with my friends in university so I couldn’t shed tears blush. It is a romance movie. I recommend it. Next, on Japanese movie, my favorite movie is “CROWS ZEROⅡ” because I lover of Shun Oguri. He is an actor and he is very cool. This movie is an action movie. The characters are high school students and they fight. They are Yankees. The force is nice and interesting. Some people who watched the movie said they felt that they were strong themselves. I didn’t feel so but I thought I want to watch it many times. The movie has “CROWS ZERO”. It was interesting but Ⅱ is more interesting. I will buy the DVD so I’m looking forward to the day. &lt;br /&gt;I don’t like Korean movies and SF movies because I am not interested in its. I can’t understand Pe Younju is cool. Korean actors and actress acted unnaturally. It is boring. &lt;br /&gt;I also like comedy movies. Especially, I like “suberanai-hanashi”. It is a TV program and many comedians appear in the program. Their talk is very funny and well. If I feel like crying and I’m in very low sprits, I watch it. &lt;br /&gt;I like “monsters ink”. I went to theater to watch the movie third times and I watched it at home so I might watch it more than anyone. The story is cute and it attracted me. I think that I like a movie which appears child so I like the movie. &lt;br /&gt;I like watching movies so I can’t decide only one.

Arthur and his friends whispered "He looks smart". On lunchtime, Norbert ate alone. Arthur thought that he was shy. Mr. Ratburn, their teacher said to Norbert that why don't you sit near the others. He sits one of the classmates, Francine. In class, Norbert answered questions which asked Mr. Ratburn. He was very smart. Moreover, he could play soccer so he joined Arthur's team.

The restaurant is near my house. The lunch was very delicious. I was happy! But it was heavy rainy. When we left our house, it was not rainy. Next, we went to Turuya. My mother always buys her clothes there. Now, almost shops are having a summer sale so there were many people. I followed her and chose her clothes  together. It took about 2 hours so I was very tired but she looked happy because she bought it after a long time. She took me depa-chika. We ate mango shaved ice. This picture is it! It very very delicious and it is big! I recommend you. I wanted to buy my clothes and shoos but I didn't want to walk. We bought dishes in depa-chika and we went back home. My mother looked funny so I was happy, too. I had a good holiday. The tests will start next week so I can't sleep. I wish it finished soon... See you...

My sister gave me the wallet and it was my favorite wallet. When I noticed that it was not in my school bag after school, I was really disappoint. I told my teacher at once and I was heard situation. I could not believe that my wallet was stolen by someone. In fact, in my high school, it often occurred like that money and wallet theft so on. However, I had never thought that I met with this accident. Because it often occurred, our teachers didn’t search. I had 10,000yen in my wallet and the money was not mine. I kept it for my friend by chance. I was very angry but it was not discovered.　&lt;br /&gt;I could return the money for my friend because I had a part-time job. I thought that I didn’t use the money why I had to pay. But it was my careless accident. My student identification card was in the wallet so I had to reissue. I put many important things in it so I was perplexed. I want to say to stealers that you should know disgrace and you don’t have to do same things. Recently, I often hear that the snatch accident is increase. It is very stupid. I want the accident to decrease. I feel that the snatch accident is not concern of mine and I have to care.&lt;br /&gt;My friend was stolen her bag. She went to downtown with her friends of her club. There are a lot of people. She was caught napping. I can’t believe people.&lt;br /&gt;I had a hard time in high school but I enjoyed school life so it is an old memory. I want to believe people. If I met with same accident again, it is my careless. I don’t forgive stealers but I have some matter.

I'm going to introduce content of this story. The hero is Percy. He lived with his family. His family was poor so he came up with making a fishing rod and he would surprise everyone. However, he couldn't fish and he got so tired of waiting, he fell asleep. After a short time, his boat was sinking. He shouted "help me". A ship closed his boat and helped him. But he wasn't lucky because it was a pirate ship. He was chosen two ways. One of ways was joining the crew or he was thrown to the shark. He chooses joining the crew. There were a captain, Willy, Sam and Rum in the crew. The ship had motto. It was that the treasure that they stole from other ships was captain's treasure. They stole many gold and diamond every day. One day, the captain found twenty gold coins in the Sam's locker. He was angry and he was dropped in the sea. Each day, Willy and Rum did same thing so they were also dropped in the sea. There were only Percy and the captain on the ship. He looked for some treasure. On other ship, he found a map. He came up to good idea! He drew a guide to treasure on the map. He told the captain what he had found the map. The captain went to the point at once but there was no treasure. He trapped the captain and he returned treasure. He was given big reward so his family was rich. It is very funny story and easy to read.(269 words)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5077800936098783034-6764965182290119040?l=chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/6764965182290119040/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/book-review-10-percy-and-pirates.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077800936098783034/posts/default/6764965182290119040'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077800936098783034/posts/default/6764965182290119040'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/book-review-10-percy-and-pirates.html' title='Book review #10 Percy and the Pirates'/><author><name>Chikako</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07478266089718164467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GRhw4XNw74A/SkLuVczKzbI/AAAAAAAAACs/fygUjyWgW60/s72-c/percy-jkt.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077800936098783034.post-8737923124428557371</id><published>2009-06-16T17:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-16T17:31:25.286-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='typing homework'/><title type='text'>About bloging.</title><content type='html'>It is difficult for me to update the blog every day because my life is normal so I don't have funny story.

My memorable day is an athletic meet in high school. I went to Luther Gakuinn. When I was third year, I took part in “performance team”. It grows livelier an athletic meet every year. It is not same a cheering party. A cheering party support only themselves team but “performance team” make a happy atmosphere with dancing. There were 24 people in “performance team”. We ourselves choreographed dances and practiced very hard every day after school. Our teachers were very strict, so we had to clean in a yard every morning. If we had not clean and a greeting, they pretty got angry. Moreover if we had disobeyed the high school regulations, we had to be quitted it so we were very serious. We made our costumes. It took a lot of time. We squabbled with each other for example, one of team was always late on time so some people were angry. It was difficult to get along with a group but I thought that we obtained something things and they became good things in our heart. &lt;br /&gt;The practice wasn’t only strict but we enjoyed very much. We camped together for training near the Park Dome. We practiced until evening and we ate yakiniku so three people went to the supermarket to buy food. It was also funny. We were shouting noisily so I was very happy! &lt;br /&gt;On the day took place, I was nervous but I enjoyed making up and changing my costumes. It was hard for me to dance but I could it with keeping smile. &lt;br /&gt;I still remember the day when I look pictures. It will be good memorable day forever. I had thought that I wanted to quite but I had a very good time and I had good friends.

I had a good holiday. How are you? My boyfriend came to Kumamoto on Friday. I was working so we met after I finished it. We went to the bar which is established a restaurant. I am working the restaurant. It is a genuine bar and clam atmosphere so I recommend the bar!! There are a lot of wine, cocktail and whiskey. The glasses are very expensive! The smallest glass is 17000 yen. My boyfriend drank a bottle of wine. It is "White Heaven". I want to drink but I don't have to drink because I'm 19 years old↓.&lt;br /&gt;On sunday, we got up at 11 a.m. and my mother, my boyfriend and I went to Monjayaki. Do you know it? Have you ever eaten it? I love it!! My mother made it well. They drank beer so I had to drive... It was very very delicious and I was happy! Please eat Monhayaki. There are Kamikumamoto and Kamitori.  The Monjayaki is a 22 anniversary on June 7.

We have read or listened to this story in Japanese but I think that we feel the difference because an expression and a sense are difference between Japanese and foreigner. It is natural so I want you to try to read this book and I want to know how you feel. You may feel interesting. Thank you for reading.(122 words)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5077800936098783034-5276655299300588011?l=chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/feeds/5276655299300588011/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/book-review-6-clever-rabbit-and-lion.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077800936098783034/posts/default/5276655299300588011'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5077800936098783034/posts/default/5276655299300588011'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chikako-chikasblog.blogspot.com/2009/06/book-review-6-clever-rabbit-and-lion.html' title='Book review #9 The Musicians of Bremen'/><author><name>Chikako</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07478266089718164467</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GRhw4XNw74A/Siqa2t0FGaI/AAAAAAAAACE/j0GCwgcgINs/s72-c/090607_013031.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077800936098783034.post-7394665914560859130</id><published>2009-06-04T09:36:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-07T08:46:34.052-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='book review'/><title type='text'>Book  review  #8 ARTHUR'S READING RACE</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/object/854/854190/625010boxart_160w.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 160px; height: 245px;" src="http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/object/854/854190/625010boxart_160w.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I read it today.

He reads in the car. He reads in bed. He reads to his puppy. He even reads to his little sister. His sister, D.W. said she could read but he already knew how to read. And they quarreled over it. They started the game. If she could read ten words earlier than him, he bought an ice cream to her. She won so he had to buy it. It is interesting story so I want you to read this book.

It was named "I want to become a shell" in English. The content of this DVD is the war. A man had family. He had a wife and a child. He had lost the use of his one leg. He worked in a beauty salon with his wife. One day, a letter arrived his post. It was a military call-up paper, "akagami" in Japanese. His wife was shocked to look at the letter but he was more terribly shocked. He was taken by troops. He had to train a pear and a gun. He didn't train well so a chief forced him to kill a   man. &lt;br /&gt;He release the armed forces when the war clam so he could go back his home. However the police men arrested him after a short time. They said him that he killed a man during training. And he was put to death.... I was surprised! He didn't kill and he couldn't kill. But the police men didn't believe. This story is long and deep so I hope you to watch.
