Came back from Miyazaki

I came back from Miyazaki to Kumamoto today. I came here with my parents. This homecoming was very nice and I had a good and memorable time. For example, I went to vote on the general election with my mother. It was a first time I went to vote. I was very tensed up for writing the name of candidate and putting a ballot paper in a ballot box.
Next, I enjoyed driving. I often drove while I was in Ebino. I had never driven at night but I could drive at night by myself. I became to control car's speed. My brother said he was a little frighten of centrifugal force at a curve. I wanted to have my own car!
I want to enjoy the rest of my vacation. (130 words and total 2,209 words)

Eclipse

She was so closed to what she wanted – the focus of her whole existence for more than a year now was just so close.

My death.

Her plan was as obvious as it was practical. The big blond boy would attack Edward. As soon as Edward was sufficiently distracted, Victoria would finish me.

It was a third of hour twilight saga. It was a very exciting and thrilling story. And I didn’t want to read any more sometimes. Bella was suffered from feeling for Edward and Jacob. Edward was too kind because he hoped not his happiness but her happiness. So he didn’t mad at her when she realized her feeling for Jacob. Then I realized how he loved her. So I was very glad that she chose Edward in the end. However, I couldn’t feel at ease to her decision. I thought she would be beside herself if Jacob appeared suddenly. I hoped that she was in love with Edward only.
The descriptions of history were difficult for me to understand. I wanted to try to read again and understand these histories. There were many expressions in the writings so it was also difficult. I wanted to acquire expressions like that. I thought it was the most memorable that “Gotcha” which Alice said. I felt how cute she was. And I thought Jasper and her kept lovely relationship.
The next story is last. So I want to read and know the denouement soon.

It was written by Stephenie Meyer, the twilight saga and published by Atom. (257 words, total　2,079 words)

Aug. 19th

Some friends of mine and I went to Aoshima in Miyazaki. I didn't go a sea for a long time. We didn't know how to go there so we followed to a car navigation system. We arrived at some beach but it was not a beach near Aoshima. We asked people how to arrive there. He seemed surprised but told us with kindness. Thanks to him, we could arrived there.

It was cloudy but we could go sightseeing and playing at beach. There were some places to do sightseeing. For example, Aoshima Shrine, Oninosentakuiwa and so on. There were many good-luck charms of love. We bought one of them. Oninosentakuiwa mean rocks which looks like washboards. The rocks were eroded by waves. Then, they looked like washboards for ogres. So they are called Oninosentakuiwa.

I had a great time with them! (139 words, total 1,822 words)

Aug. 18th

I helped my grandmother to make "ankomochi." It is a mochi which is covered by bean jam. When I went to her house, she was preparing to make mochi, steaming glutinous rice. After that, we started to make ankomochi. She rolled mochi into a boll with her hands and put them into bean jam which was made by her. Then, I coated them by my hands and put them into some plates. It was very interesting so I enjoyed it.

It took only a few minutes. After that, she washed the things, using rainwater! I was surprised but it seemed good use of rainwater.

My grandparents and I had that ankomochi. It was delicious! I want to be able to make bean jam like her. (124 words)

New moon

There was the faint rumble of a growl in Edward’s chest. I ignored him. “Taking
into account, then, that I won’t you put any of you in danger either way, I want
you to vote yes or no on the issue of me becoming a vampire.” I half-smiled on
the last word, and gestured toward Carlisle to begin.

“New moon” is a second of “the twilight saga” I felt Bella’s overflowing despair was written well. It was very hard to me how she loved him. I heard that the author, Stephenie Meyer, thought the story’s theme was “lost love.” After I read the story, I thought the expression matched very much. She loved Edward, deep down in her heart thought she could not say that to him. I could know her feeling when she fell off the cliff to hear Edward’s voice. The saddest thing was the pages from 85 to 92 because only months were written. I believed that it expressed Bella’s feeling. She should spend time with numb.
I expected Jacob was a werewolf. He was very kind and thoughtful but I wanted Bella not to love him. Because I thought whether she loved him or not, she should feel a whole in her heart.However, I felt happy when they could meet again. I was surprised that she wanted to be a vampire. I didn't want her to be a vampire, I want to know she become or not soon by reading next story.

It was written by Stephenie Meyer, the twilight saga and published by Little, Brown and Company. (256 words, total 1,559 words)

My old frieds

Yesterday, I met some friends of mine who graduated from the same high school. We were going to meet at a Joyfull in Kobayashi so I went there by a car. Kobayashi is more urban than my hometown, Ebino. So traffic is heavy and there are many two-lane roads. I was very anxious about that before I went out. But I could go there by following a front car.

I enjoyed talking with them. After we had lunch, we went to "Joy plaza" which is an amusement center. Then we took some purikura and did karaoke. It was very exciting and fun. After that, we was going to back our home. But one of them was going to take a bus and thirty minutes left. So she and I went to batting center. She was belonged to a baseball club, so she was very good at batting. I couldn't work well. But I enjoyed it.
I'm looking forward to meet them in winter vacation. (162 words)

First driving

I drove a few times after I got driver's licence last summer. I had no opportunity to drive in Kumamoto, so I didn't drive for a long time. After I went back to my hometown, I started to drive, riding my parents in the car. I ride on a car which my grandfather lent me.
Today, it was a first time I drove alone!! I had to bring a medicine to my grandfather and driving was a only way to go to his house. I felt very anxious to drove alone before I went out. It was the most anxious things to drive a two-lane road because I had never driven like that road. Fortunately, I could drive all the way without incident.
The day after tomorrow, I may have to drive alone again. In addition, my destination is twice farther than my grandfather's house! I hope I can enjoy my little journey! (152 words)

twilight

I stared because their faces, so different, so similar, were all devastatingly,
inhumanly beautiful. They were faces you ever expected to see except perhaps on
the airbrushed pages of a fashion magazine. Or painted by an old master as the
face of an angel.

I read “Twilight.” It took for four days to finish reading. It is one of the greatest novels that I have ever read. I thought there were many appeals of this novel. Edward was one of them. His talks were really sweet. Every time I read his sweet talks, I got embarrassed. For example, “You are my life now.”
It was very scary for me that Laurent considered Bella as snack for vampires. Then Laurent said to Carlisle, “You brought a snack?” I felt that it was a real vampire’s attitude toward human.
I like this novel rather than Harry Potter series. In addition, this novel is easier to read. I read Harry Potter series last summer and it was very hard to read. I couldn’t read almost of sentences without using a dictionary and a guide book. In case of “Twilight”, I didn’t need to use a dictionary not so often.
It was written by Stephenie Meyer, the twilight saga and published by Little, Brown and Company. (212 words)

a bookworm

Since I started to read Twilight, I have been a bookworm. Because I read it almost of day time. It was very wonderful and exciting story and I want to know the continuation of the story. So I read it and I didn't go out... I think I will have finished reading it in a short time! I have finished reading 312 pages of about 500 pages. It was hard for me to read it with my limited vocabulary, also there are many words which I don't know. I often ignore them and keep reading. Anyway, I want to finish reading as soon as possible.

My hometown

I went back to my hometown today's evening. The more I closed to Ebino, the more I thought my hometown is country. There are many rice fields which are bright green. I will be there until the end of the month. My house was remodeled during I was in Kumamoto. My house is a much better and wider than before. In addition, it smells of woods. I like this smell very much. I want to enjoy staying at my hometown. (81 words)

Training room

Today, a friend of mine and I went to a training room at KGU. It was a first time I went there.
We wanted to change clothes in a dressing room but it was closed. Then we changed clothes in a bathroom. After we changed clothes, we went to the room. There were a few people there. Firstly, we measured our weight, body fat mass, muscle mass and so on. I didn't measured my weight and body fat mass for a long time. In addition, I had never measured my muscle mass and BMR. So it was good opportunity to know my health. Next we started to do training. It was very hard to me. We worked hard at training for one hour.
My muscle mass is not enough.... So I want to keep training to increase a muscle!! (138 words)

I changed my hairstyle a little. I cut my forelocks, dyed my hair dark brown and had a permanent. I wanted to cut my forelocks for a long time. It was a long time before I finally came to a decision. After I cut them, I think I look like Korean! Because my forelocks are little shorter than I expected. Anyway, I satisfied with my new hairstyle! (61 words)

Aug. 1st

I went to shopping with a friend of mine. She and I promised to meet at about 10 a.m. But I got up at 10:10 a.m. and I sent an e-mail to her as soon as possible! Fortunately, she had not gone out her house. Then we met at 11 a.m. and went to shopping. We were going to buy clothes at Kamitori and Shimotori during a sale. She bought some cheap clothes and I bought three socks. After we enjoyed our shopping, we had doughnuts at mister doughnuts. There were various doughnuts so it was difficult to decide which I would eat. I have two doughnuts and one pie with gratin. It tasted very good and I wanted to have more. After we had them and enjoyed chatting, we went back to our house.

After that, I went to dormitory for exchange students in KGU. It was second times I went there. Yurie and I went there to meet Sou who are Chinese and speak Japanese very well. Then we enjoyed talking about each countries at a room. Sou knew many things about Chinese culture, temperature and so on. I couldn't tell her about Japan well so I noticed that I have to know about Japan more. When we were talking, some American students came to the room. It was a good chance to talk to them in English. However, I couldn't do that. I could only listen their English and talked to them in Japanese. During I went back to my house, I thought about the thing at the dormitory. I want to be able to talk to them in English. For the purpose, I want to visit there more. (282 words)
