Television

Even though school keeps me very busy, I still find time to watch TV. However, I usually watch episodes of my favorite TV shows on the internet when I have the time. =) My favorite TV show is "Pushing Daisies." It's the story about a man who owns a pie shop. The man, Ned, has a special ability; he can touch something and bring it back to life, but if he touches it for a second time, it's dead forever. In the first episode, we find out that Ned has been using his ability to touch murder victims and find out how they have died. The murder victim of his first episode is his childhood girlfriend, Chuck. He touches Chuck, but allows her to live and then they begin a relationship. Each episode has a mystery murder that must be solved. It is a very cute and entertaining show; if you get the chance, you should watch it.

日本語の授業で日本のポップカルチャーをべんきょうhしました。てづおざむさんとマンガを読みました。マンガが好きでなくても本が大好きです。一番好きな本はハーリポッターです。１０歳の時初めて読みました。空そう文学のくせにゆうかんをはじめ、正しいをすることたか友情を学べます。アメリカで、ハーリポッターは読者とても人気があるようにします。高校生の時、新しいハーリポッターの本をこうかいした、パーティーをしました。夏に新しいハーリポッターの映画をこうかいして幸せです！ハーリポッターの映画を見に行くつもりですか。

Party

Last Friday, the party of my seminar was held at some English pub in Nagoya.
It was firtst time we get together.

The pub was crowded every weekend like club, also that day.
Most of customer were forenign people or office worke who woer suit.

And,we ate English food while talking.
I was very fun because we usually can't speak.

After eating, we went to karaoke.
In Japan, most of people use karaoke as post-party.
we sung Japanese pop music a lot.

It was great day!

もうすぐハロウィン★

だいぶ寒くなってきて、もうすぐすると紅葉が綺麗な季節。楽しみ♪

そして、３１日はお母さんの誕生日！ということはハロウィン！！

ということで、月曜日、うちの学校のスザンヌ先生がお菓子をくれた。

それがカナダでおいしいおいしいって言って食べてた''Reese's’’。

私の友達はReese'sを毎日食べてて５kg太ったけどね。笑　私も大好きなおやつです。

残念ながらReese'sは日本には売ってなくて（キスチョコとかHERSHY'Sは売ってるんだけど）スザンヌはわざわざアメリカから取り寄せてくれたらしい。ものすっごい久しぶりに食べたら涙が出るほど懐かしかった（；＿；）　スザンヌ、ありがとう。

そして去年の写真を整理してたらおもしろい写真を発見したので載せます。これは去年のカナダでのハロウィン。緑のコスチューム来たミトコンドリアの人とかいました。頭が白菜とか。笑

この人たちは仮装して身長２ｍ５０ｃｍくらいあるんだけど、バランスが全然とれてなくてふらふらしててあらゆるものにつかまって歩いてたよ。笑

日本じゃ絶対見れない光景だからすごく楽しかったなー。

また行きたい！！

This Coming November

As October ends, it has become very cold. Riding my bike to class is becoming more and more difficult everyday, but because it's so much faster and cheaper than taking the bus, I stick to it. I'm hoping it will snow, if only to put a pretty picture to the cold air and make it somewhat nicer. I cannot wait to go tubing at Burchfield Park and have spontaneous snowball fights around campus. This semi-fall and semi-winter weather is just plain confusing.
I am very excited about this coming Thanksgiving as I just found out I will be flying to Maryland. Unfortunately, I may have to miss a couple days of Japanese class to do so. I will be spending the vacation with Andrew's family, my future in-laws. It should be both amusing and awkward, as most family meetings tend to be. Wish me luck!

18 Years in the Making

Saturday October 25, 2008 was an amazing day. It started out kinda cold, windy and drizzling, however by 6:45 pm the cold and rain didn't mean very much as the Michigan State Spartans walked away with the W against the Michigan Wolverines. Kickoff was at 3:30pm and so it began. The last time the Spartans won in the Big House was in 1990. The last time they beat Michigan was in 2001. This was a big deal. The 6-2 Spartans stepped onto the field ready to claim the Paul Bunyan Trophy and claim it they did. Going into the half it was tied at 14-14. In the beginning of the third Michigan scored, leading 21-14 in the third until Michigan State tied it up at 21 to end the third. The fourth quarter was all about State. Two more touchdowns clinched the Spartan's victory over the Wolverines for the first time in a long time. This game was a big one, probably the most important one of the entire season and instead of hanging on to last weeks loss against Ohio State, the Spartans sucked it up and stepped up to the plate. The only regret I have about this game is that I was not able to attend such a momentous event in the Big House. So all you Spartans, remember Mike Hart's words from last year, about how Michigan State is Michigan's little brother and remember that little brothers do grow up and when they do, watch out. Cuz in cases such as this one, the little brother grew up better and stronger than his older brother and when payback time came around it was the older brother who fell. It's truly a great day to be a Spartan. GO GREEN!!!!!!!!

non verbal communication

Hi^^

This post is kind of homework from last week.

This semester, I'm taking ''Non verbal communication'' class. It's so interesting, and I like it.

Do you know? People judge people if who they are, from the face while they're talking and the quality of voice or jesture . Not from words, the words tell them only 7%.

For example,

There's a woman who waiting her boyfriend on a bench. It's almost 3 o'clock.
They supposed to meet in front of the bench at 3.
In a few minites later, he was coming.
he said ''I'm sorry''
and she said ''It's fine''
but she seems mad.
''Are you mad at me or something?''
''No, that's fine. I don't care at all.''
even though she said that it's fine.
This is non verval communication. interesing, isn't it?

In Japanese culture, people should read other people's feeling all the time. There's some people who don't do it though...

It's sometimes though for me, but I like that part of Japanese culture.

秋

日が落ちるのも早くなって
日本はすっかり秋の季節になりましたぁ★★


食欲の秋とも言うくらいで
私の食欲は半端なく
お菓子やスイーツの誘惑に負けて毎日食べてしまってます・・・(>_<)


そして最近は、休日に映画を観に行くことが多いです♬♪
先週は、「崖の上のポニョ」という映画を観ました。
有名な映画で、今年の夏から上映してるんだけど、
人気だから年末くらいまで上映してるみたい！

なんだか心温まる映画でした♡♡
オススメです★

皆は日本の映画に興味がありますか？？

Cake

Hi~

Today I went to a cafe near my house with my friends.
My town is a little handy because there are many food shops.

We chatted about job hunting and school life over tea.
There were many cakes there, we also ordered a cake.
I love sweets, so was very happy!

By the way, my mother's birthday is coming soon.
I will give somthing by hand to her.

I think I will make a birthday cake.
But I have no idea what cakes should I make.

What kind of cakes do you like?

Can you give me a hand about it ??

だんだん寒くなってきたね。食欲の秋。スポーツの秋。読書もいいし、食べ物もおいしい、最高の季節(^▽^*)

秋になると、この時期毎年咲く金木犀（きんもくせい）っていう薄いオレンジ色の花が私は好き♪

とても甘くて優しい香りがする花なんだけど、残念なのが１週間足らずで散ってしまうこと。この時期しか嗅げない、この時期しか見れない貴重な花だから好きなのかも。

ところで、友達が公務員試験に受かって４月から学校を辞めて働くことになったみたい。おめでとーぅ！！の筈なんだけど・・・その子とはたくさん授業がかぶってたから来年から一緒に受けられなくなっちゃうのはすごく残念だなって思う(>_<)

人との出逢いは一期一会（いちごいちえ）だから本当に大事にしていかなきゃなって思った。

私はまだ大学卒業後に何になりたいのかまだ明確な目標がなくて悩む毎日です。。。

とりあえず勉強しよ！読みかけの「プリンセス・ダイアリー」でも読もう(^ω^*)

Hello!

Hi! I'm Mai.

I'm studying International communication at Sugiyama woman's university.

So, I'm interested in English and foreign culture very much.



In this spring vacation, I went to Australia to study English for 2 month.

I could go to the tourist attraction such as Gold Coast and Fraser Island with my friends.

It was a precious memory.

I have 2 part-time job, clothes shop and Japanese bar.

Each job is hard, but I'm pleased about them.

Hi!!

Hi everyone(*^▽^*) How's it going?
I'm Sakura,(it means cherry blossum in Japanese) and I'm in Sugiyama Univ 2nd grade.
I'm majoring in International communication, I'm studying English and French. I love studying languages, cause it's fun. I'm also interested in Korean, I totally don't understand it yet though.
I've lived in Canada, Vancouver last year for about 9 month stydying English. Then, I've been to Rocky mountains, and these mountains coverd with snow on the top were soooo beautiful !! If I have time, I'll go there again.

I like taking photos and listening to music, especially the songs by Avril Lavigne.
Watermelons is my favorite fruit. White and Pink are my favourite colours.

Anyway, Nice to see you on this blog^^

Sakura
