2009 Flashback

Going through my 2009 every days and look back what I have gone through this year, it seemed 2009 was not great year for me... Like what I've always thought, everything has its 1st time and it's up to me if I have the courage to try it but this year I didn't have the courage so I really regret not having tried it. In the following year, I really wanna try to be 'ACTIVE' and it's because I just don't wanna regret any more and I'm so tired of my regrets in the past time... I learned one thing from my fault and... that is: "If I don't take action soon, it will be too late!!!" I think my life depends on whether I will take action or not, though I know that's so tough to me. However... if I wanna change myself, I must try it soon! Honestly, these days there are many things about my life going round my head and I have lots of things I wanna tell you... All I can tell you right now is... "Take action soon not to regret!" Time will not wait for us!!!

BTW, the best event for me in 2009 was a visit to Taiwan last March! I had been longing for visiting there since I was a high school student so I was very happy and excited to be able to achieve that! And also, I was able to encounter a Taiwanese celebrity Wu Chun and now I really respect him because the spirit of his nonstop challenge has changed my mind! I'd like to visit Taiwan again, no, I will 'surely' visit there again:-) haha!

Well, I also realized the word 'PATIENCE' is very important in our life, especially for hope and dream you wanna make come true! Aiming for the best in everything and having high expectations could give myself tremendous pressure and stress... However, I must endure them to make the dreams come true or to achieve what I wanna do, even if however hard it will be and however long it will take! I really don't wish to regret or waste my time and I must always keep Patience in order to achieve what I wanna do!

Hope all of us cherish everything that comes along and a big cheers to 2010:-)

See you in 2010!!!

Dec. 25 is indeed my BIG DAY!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all!!!

December 25th is so important day for me! Why? Because I was born in Christmas Day so today is my birthday and it's been 20 years since I was born. Sigh... time passes so fast!!! I'm indeed very happy to be able to take this opportunity to wish all of you a very happy Christmas Day through my blog! Words really cannot express how much I appreciate what my friends have done for me and how important those actions are to me! I am really grateful to them because some of them gave me messages 'Happy Birthday' by e-mail and on the phone. A big THANK YOU again to them all!!!

Come to think of it, I've become an adult so from today I will do what I wanna do! haha! However, I think I must not forget gratitude to my parents because they've been supporting me till now. In the future, I also must remember to thank my parents during my birthdays by giving me gifts or at least celebrating with them. Have I seriously thought of what I have achieved this year or what I wanna achieve in the future? What I have achieved this year... I don't know... haha! What I wanna achieve in the future... The answer is... I'd like to have some qualifications in order to get a suitable job to me after graduating from my university. I thought to myself that being negative would just make me miserable so I wanna be ACTIVE and ACTIVE in 2010!

This year, I have also bought a birthday present for myself on the Internet shopping and I've bought my favorite music group's CD! The reason why I bought it is I'd really like to listen to the songs in it but most of all, the CD has autograph on it of my number 1 favorite singer Wu Chun. Moreover, it's in his 'own writing' so I'm very excited:-) I guess the CD with his autograph will come to me after new year's coming but now I'm really looking forward to having it and also I can't wait to see and get it! I really respect Wu Chun because I can agree to his thought and the more I read his blog, the more I will be impressed by his messages in it. He is so active and I think he never stops his challenges and never gives up! In the following year, I wanna try to spend my every day like his nonstop challenges! My utmost fear in the future is regretting. That's the only fear I have right now... The rest, I am not afraid... haha! So, I really wanna try to be active next year and it might be tough to me but I don't wanna regret in my future so I'll do my very best! Go Go Go!!!

Anyway, today is Christmas Day!!! Enjoy a great Christmas day with your Family & Love Ones and make them feel very special on this special occasion!

I Love Barcelona!!!

Hi! Did you watch the final game Barcelona vs. Estudiantes? It was held by TOYOTA and it's a world cup of the football clubs. Barcelona is a Spanish football club and it's very famous and popular all over the world. There are many famous player in it, for example there are Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta, Ibrahimović, Henry, Busquets. But most of all, Barcelona has a very very famous player who is Messi!!! He is from Argentina and this year he won "Ballon d'Or" which is given to the most valuable player of the year.

Of course, I watched the final game yesterday. Estudiantes scored first in the first half, then the first half was over. In the latter half, both of the teams weren't able to score and the time passed... And, I thought Estudiantes won the game by first goal to zero. But at the end of the latter half, Pedro who is a Barcelona player scored!!! Then, the game went into the extended game! In the first half of the extended game, both of the teams couldn't score, but the latter half Messi scored!!! Barcelona won 2-1:-)

"Barcelona is Champion!!!"

THE Mess revision

"The cupboard is empty. That is where the mess can go!"


I read a book called THE Mess.
A boy's room was very messy, so he had been told "Clean your room!" by his mum. Then the cupboard was empty, so he put all his things in it. But when he tried to get the broom out of it, all that he had put in it, fell down! That was NOT a good idea...
My room is so messy, too. So I can understand why he did that, and if I were him, I would do the same thing...

Essay 2: An Interesting Country

My interesting country is Republic of China. It's also called Chinese Taipei, but I think it's generally known as Taiwan. Taiwan is located in east Asia and Taipei is a capital city. It takes about two hours and thirty minutes from Fukuoka by airplane. The language spoken in Taiwan is Taiwanese Mandarin.
I have been to Taiwan twice and when I went there first, I was a second-year student at high school. My high school has a sister school in Australia, so I visited there with my classmates as overseas study and training. I visited there via Taipei, but I had no time to shopping and sightseeing in Taipei because I stayed there only for one hour. When I was a high school student, it seemed I didn't know about Taiwan so much. Because when I arrived at the airport in Taipei, I didn't know where I was in. However, after coming back Japan, I knew about Taiwan on TV and I also knew there are many Taiwanese people who like Japan and Japanese people. And, I like the people in Taiwan very much, too. Then, I started to think I want to visit Taiwan again...
Last March, I visited Taipei again and I visited there with my classmate at KGU. I stayed in Ximending for four days and in Taoyuan for one day. Ximending is district which is like Shinjuku and Shibuya in Tokyo. There are many famous and popular shops among young people, so we can enjoy shopping there. At CD shops, there are some CDs of Japanese singers and at book stores, there are many Japanese magazines. Also, in Taiwan some Japanese TV programs are broadcast every day. When I was losing my way in Ximending, a Taiwanese female told me the way in Japanese. I was a little surprised and I knew I could make myself understood in Japanese in Taiwan. That's so glad for me because it shows Taiwanese people speak Japanese, so I can feel close to them. In Taoyuan, there is an international airport called Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport and it took only 10 minutes by taxi from a hotel which I stayed at. I went sightseeing and shopping a lot in Taipei and I really enjoyed them and had a very precious time there.
I think there are a lot of wonderful sightseeing spots in Taipei. For example, there are TAIPEI 101, National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Presidential Office Building, Mengjia Longshan Temple, National Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and so on. I think they are very good places to visit. I visited all of them and I truly recommend those places to you! And also, Taiwan has very delicious food, so you can enjoy sightseeing and eating delicious food there, of course shopping, too. I'd really like to visit Taiwan again in the near future!
If you want to go abroad, please try to visit Taiwan! Taiwan is such a great country. I love the people there, the food, the city view and shopping! I am so excited to let you discover something in Taiwan that you've never seen or experienced, and which will be beyond your expectations!!! I hope you'll visit Taiwan and enjoy your trip there!
"WISH TO SEE YOU IN TAIWAN!"

HANNAH MONTANA

Today's after school in the library at KGU, I watched a TV drama called 'HANNAH MONTANA' with my friend and we watched its episode 1, 2 and 3. This was our first time watching them and the reason why we chose it is I'm so fond of Disney Channel! But honestly, at first we were wondering which one to watch, then I happened to find HANNAH MONTANA. I didn't know about it, but I noticed that it was Disney Channel's TV drama, then I said, "Let's watch this one cuz it's Disney Channal!!" (I really like Disney Channel's TV drama and when it comes to it, I recommend High School Musical to you very much! haha!)

The main character is Miley, her father is Robby and her elder brother is Jackson. They have 'one secret' which they must not share with other people and it's... Hannah Montana, who is so popular singer all over America, is Miley!!! Of course, her friends don't know about that, but if they notice that Miley is Hannah Montanna, what will become of her?

I truly enjoyed watching it, so I wanna try to watch the next episodes and I also recommend it to you so much!

Yesterday...

There is one book which I've been wanting until now, then I went and buy it to 6 book stores by bicycle and I went to Kinokuniya, TSUTAYA in Hamasen, Meirindo, TSUTAYA in city centre, Marubun and Nagasaki BookStore, so today I am so exhausted. In addition, unfortunately, I was not able to buy it because those book stores, which I went to, don't have that one. Sigh... No kidding!!! haha! I've decided to buy it on the net and I think I should have done that way before going to 6 book stores... haha! I will 'Jia You.'

Our Song - Taylor Swift

Bay City Rollers

Bay City Rollers is one of my favorite bands!!! Have you ever heard it? They are from Scotland and they were active from 1974 until 1976, this means they've broken up, so they are not active now. There are five members in it and they are Alan Longmuir, Derek Longmuir, Eric Faulkner, Stuart "Woody" Wood and Les McKeown. I have so many favorite songs of theirs, for example, I like "My Teenage Heart", "Remember", "Saturday Night", "Rock'n' Roller", "I Only Want To Be With You", "Rock'n' Roll Love Letter", "It's A Game", "Love Me Like I Love You", "Give A Little love", "Yesterday's Hero" and so on. I guess Japanese people have heard "Saturday Night" if they do not know Bay City Rollers because perhaps the song has appeared on a TV program in Japan before. I've attached the link of it at the below, so please try to listen to it and make sure whether you've heard it or not! haha! I hope you'll borrow their CDs at TSUTAYA and if you do that, please borrow an album whose title is "MEMORIAL" because there are a lot of nice songs in it, of course my favorite ones, too. haha!

Saturday Night is here!

Alizee

She is my favorite singer whose name is Alizee and she is from France! When I was a high school student, I was recommended to listen to her songs by my friend, though honestly, I wasn't interested in it at first because I haven't studied French, so I cannot understand it. However, I tried to listen to her songs and the more I listen to them, the more I came to like them, but of course I can't still understand French at all... haha! She sings songs not only in French but also in English. I guess she has a lot of songs, but I only know two songs of them and the two are "J'en Ai Marre" and "J'ai Pas Vingt Ans." The English title of the former song is "I'm Fed Up" while the latter one is "I'm Not Twenty." I really think those songs are very nice, so I often listen to them and I truly recommend those songs to you all! I wanna try to listen to her other songs!!!

J'en Ai Marre is here and English ver. is here!
J'ai Pas Vignt Ans is here and English ver. is here!

A Night Out

"But you will not have fun if you don't dance."

I read a book whose title is A Night Out.
Ruby and Ruf walked into the school dance. There were many kids inside, but there was nobody who is dancing. Ruby wanted to dance, so she grabbed Ruf's hand and took him out the middle of the room. Then... some boys looked at them and laughing. However they began to dance, then all the kids danced with them, and the boys were dancing, too. They danced a lot, and had a good night!
I think if no one is dancing inside, I won't dance, too. Since that's too awkward for me... haha!

Never Stop Challenging!!!

Recently, I often read a blog of my favorite celebrity. His name is Wu Chun(吳尊). Do you know him? If you answer yes, I'm very glad! He is singer and actor in Taiwan, and he is a member of a music group, Fahrenheit. He seldom uploads his blog. However, I am always impressed at his messages in his blog. I haven't read all of his posts yet 'cos I started reading it the other day. He began his blog in 2006, this is, he has written it for 3 years. The day when he last uploaded it was October 15, 2009. It was about 10 days ago. I make it a rule to read it from the first post, so today I've read the post of October 6, 2006. He usually writes it in Mandarin and in English. English is easy for me to read than Mandarin. I wish I could understand Mandarin! But it seems difficult for me... I'll 'Jia You'!!
What I'd like to tell you today is I really respect him. Why do I respect him? His appearance? Yeah, I do think he is very nice looking man, and I also think he is the coolest man in the world!(haha!) But the best reason why I respect him is his thinking. I think he is a very active person, and he never stops his challenging. "Never stop challenging!!!" he often says. Why do I think that he is so active? I've never met him, and of course I've never talked with him. But I really think he is very active!

Now, he's been active in Taiwan, but in fact, he is not from Taiwan. He is from a nation whose name is Brunei Darussalam. It's located in Southeastern Asia. He was spotted and recruited as a potential actor when he was travelling in Taiwan. Isn't it amazing? Since he is not from Taiwan! Then, he joined the entertainment world in Taiwan.
Before he joined it, he had studied abroad to Australia, and he had graduated from a university there. He also played basketball for Brunei's national team. I was very surprised at it when I knew that. Later, he moved to Singapore. Then, he worked as a model there. In addition, he manages a family-owned gym club, Fitness Zone in Brunei. He is very active, isn't he? Don't you think so? I think he is very active!

I said that today I'd read his blog post of October 6, 2006. He often writes quoted words at the end of his each posts. He quotes them from famous person's words, I think.
It was written that....“You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don’t try.”

I think I'm a very miserable and negative person. I'm not a man like him, but I wanna try to spend my life like him....
Stay strong!!! and..... "Never Stop Challenging!!!"

Thanks for reading!

Essay 1: My favorite movie revision

I will introduce my favorite movie. In fact, I don't watch movies so much, so I don't have so many favorite ones. My favorite movie is Kung Fu Hustle. Have you ever watched it? It is an action movie. But I think it also includes love and comedy, so it is very exciting, interesting and funny. I watched it in the library at KGU yesterday. It was my first time to watch it. The languages used in this movie are Mandarin and Cantonese, but I cannot understand them. I watched it in Japanese.
I want to tell you an outline of this movie. It was made in Hong Kong, China in 2004. It is distributed by the firm whose name is Sony Pictures. The director is Stephen Chow. His Chinese name is Zhōu Xīngchí. The main cast is Stephen Chow, too. I didn’t know that. I was very surprised at the director and the main cast are the same man!! The other cast are Yuen Wah, Yuen Qiu and Danny Chan Kwok Kwan. This movie was nominated as Golden Globe Awards in Best Foreign Language Film at that year.
The scene of this movie is in Shanghai. The official title of the main character is Sing. He was humiliated when he was young. A gang, whose name is The Axe Gang take the lead. Sing and his mate trespass on an area whose name is Pig Sty Alley. They said, "We are The Axe Gang members." But in fact, they are not the members of it. Many people live there, and they are strong. They ousted Sing and his mate from it. But the real The Axe Gang members happened to pass by there at that time. A barber has fallen a victim to one of the Axe Gang members. Then, a master of Kung Fu appeared from Pig Sty Alley, and he knocked down this gangster. All the members of the Axe Gang crowded together. The entire place fell into confusion. During this, Sing begins to show his real appearance.....
The whole of this movie was very good. But I think the best scene is where a woman gave a candy to Sing. When he was a young boy, a girl was bullied by some boys. One day, he saw her bullied by them in a place. Then, he managed to help her. She gave him a candy, but he would not receive it… After time has passed, he met her again in the street. But he doesn't remember her. She sells ice cream there. He robbed the money from her, but she didn't say anything. She can't speak. In addition, she only managed to give a candy to him. As you can see, this candy is she managed to give him when they were younger!!! He remembered her after she did that. But he would not receive it again.....
This movie was more interesting than I had expected. If you haven't watched it yet, you ought to watch it soon. I'm sure you'll like it. I hope that you will enjoy it. Please check it out!!! I recommend to you!!

"Congratulations, Dick," boomed Mr. Fitzwarren . "You're Rich"

This is a story about a boy whose name is Dick. He was very very poor. He wanted a job, so he decided to go to London to get a job. But he couldn't find it at first. Finally, he found a job. He was employed by a rich man. He worked very hard every day. He was given a room, but many mice appeared there. He bought a cat to shoo them away. But one day he must dispose it of. A very rich man bought it at the high price, so Dick became the rich. Moreover, his name spread throughout the many people. As a result of it, he was elected the mayor three times.

Dad and Dan Go Fishing

"Did you catch any fish?" she said.

This story was very funny for me. Dad and Dan went to fishing together. They did not catch any fish, so Dad bought three fish at a fish shop. But he bought the fish that had been cooked. They didn't know that at first. Dad gave the fish to mum when he came back home. She gave them a funny look as she looked it, then Dad and Dan laughed too after noticing that fish had already been cooked.

Kanagawa and Tokyo

Akihabara

I went to Kanagawa in 27th August. I went there with my friend who lives there. I went there by local train, so it took about 24 hours from Kumamoto to Kanagawa. This was my first time going there. He and I graduated from the same pre school, elementary school and junior high school. Now he goes to Tokai University in Shonan Campus.
First, I got up at 5 a.m. on 27th. We went to Kumamoto Station. We left there for Kanagawa about 6:30. On our way there, we passed by Saga, Fukuoka, Yamaguchi, Hiroshima, Okayama, Hyougo, Osaka, Kyoto, Shiga, Gifu, Shizuoka and Aichi. We arrived at Yokohama Station about 5 a.m. on 28th. Then, we went to Ichiran(一蘭) to eat ramen. It is near from Sakuragicho Station. It is also near from Yokohama Station. After having it, we left there for Shibusawa Station. Because my friend lives near from it. We wanted to go to his apartment. We arrived there about 8 a.m. We were very tired, so we took a rest at his apartment.
In Kanagawa, I went to many places. For example I went to Tokai University in Shonan Campus. I think it is very very large university. There are seven students' cafeterias and three libraries. In addition, I went to Akihabara in Tokyo. I wanted to go around there, but I didn't stay there so much. It is surprising that there were many people at each stations. In particular, there were so many people at Shinjuku Station. I was very surprising at it. I also thought that in Kanagawa and Tokyo we could not go outside by walk or bicycle. It's only by train... I seldom take the train in Kumamoto. It cost me much money to take it in Kanagawa and Tokyo.
I left Kanagawa for Kumamoto in 2nd September. I left there about 11:30 p.m. I arrived at Kumamoto Station about 11:45 p.m. on 3rd. I was very very tired, so I fell into a deep sleep soon that day...
I had a very wonderful time in kanagawa and Tokyo. I'd like to go there again during being a university student. Thank you!!!
