Studying all the time...

makes me crazy!
Today, I didn't have any plans, and so all I had to do was studying.
I started studying at 10 o'clock and I had lunch at noon.
I started studying again around 12:30.

I basically study in my room, but today I moved to the living room to study there around 3 o'clock.
The reason is THIS!

He is my dog named Kotaro. When I was studying in my room, he came to my room and started scratching my legs. After a while, he started sleeping right next to me. So I gave up studying there and moved to the living room. Of course, he also came and he started sleeping next to me on the sofa.
Yes. He is SO cute.
I was tired of studying around 5 o'clock, so I went outside to take a walk with him.

Around 6 o'clock, I went outside again and worked out for about 1 hour. I did my best.
And until now, I was studying again.

Hehehe. I'm tired, so I'll go to bed.

Oh, wait! You are MUCH cuter than him.lol

I'm Fine!

Thank you for everything you do to me.
Your words, kindness, and cuteness encourage me to improve myself more and more.
Now, we are separated. We are far from each other can't see.
However, this may be a good time to improve ourselves.
We are thinking each other all the time.
We may have difficulty in something that we can't expect now.

But let's look up and stare at our future.
There must be a glittering future! We'll see each other after improving a lot.
At that time, we love each other much more.
We must be matured.
We are the best when with the other.

So what are we gonna do?
Let's go forward so that we can get what we want!

That's what I wanted to say today.

L.U.N.C.H

My mother works for the city hall in my hometown. Today she had job and so I was alone at noon.
Then, I started cooking! 
This is the picture of my lunch today...

This is spaghetti Neapolitan cooked by Toshi!
This was flavored with ketchup. The ingredients are spaghetti, sausage wieners, green peppers, and a half of onion. This is one of my favorite lunches that I can cook by myself.


After coming back to Japan, I got free time (actually, I was supposed to study. Of course, I'm studying really hard.) so I can cook lunch by myself. I'm going to practice cooking as well as studying English so that I can cook AWESOME meals later for my important person. 


Tomorrow, I'm gonna go to school to study harder and also prepare for my thesis. I hope I'm gonna spend a great day:)

My Lunch and Dinner!

Today, I ate a really good lunch and dinner.
First, the lunch was Tan-Tan noodle. This is a kind of spicy ramen with miso flavor. 
This is one of my favorite meals!

 Next is my dinner tonight. We, Japanese, call this Rei-Shabu.
Shabu-Shabu is a kind of Nabe dish. We just dip sliced pork into hot water, and we eat after cooking it with some sauce. But this Rei-Shabu is a cold version of Shabu-Shabu. So pork is put on salad like the picture below. I had this with rice and a cup of soup.This was SO delicious.

 Today, I took some pictures which are Japanese-like stuff.
One of them is a pot for flowers. My mom made it! This was great, I guess. The shape and the color are very nice.

 This is a picture and haiku written and painted by my grandma.
Actually, I don't know the meaning of this haiku, but I like this picture.

I now feel I wanna draw or paint something... like you. メアリー.
Art is one of the greatest masterpieces for all human beings in the world.

Frisbee!

Today, I played ultimate Frisbee a little with my friends in my university.
There I was a person who experienced that sports before, so it was fun and relaxing.
One of my friend tried to throw the disc better, but it was difficult for him to throw forehand.
He wasn't really good, but he was having fun saying, "That was good, wasn't it?"
In a sense, he is cute... SO FUNNY GUY!


By the way, I started playing ultimate Frisbee in a college in US. 
I was only an exchange student there, but the members were SO nice!
American people are basically better at sports than Japanese, I guess.
They run faster. They throw really well after practicing a little. They jump really high!
I sometimes felt jealous of them.


Tonight's dinner was SUSHI! Tuna, scallop, horse mackerel, and natto.
There are a lot of natto roll in Japan, and they are probably popular.
This is a little funny that Japanese people like to eat natto or other food which have strange taste.
I heard that in Japan there are many kinds of traditional foods in each district.
They are sometimes gross. Don't you know why?
Please figure it out by yourself.


Alright, I hope I'll spend a great day tomorrow too.
I hope your good luck too!

Yay! New ...

Today, I bought a new cellphone. Yes, this is my iPhone!

Actually, this is really difficult to use for me now... so I have to get used to this little by little.

Let me say one thing about cellphones in Japan. They are too EXPENSIVE!

Now, everyone uses at least one cellphone. So the companies should sell them more cheaply.

By the way, I came back to Japan these days and everything around me is Japanese. 

This makes me feel strange.

If I compare US and Japan, I think I like US more. In my hometown or in Tokyo, there are so many people walking around. I feel tired just by walking around my hometown. 

Oh, but I also felt Japanese people are really fashionable. 

Everyone care about how they look like, I guess.

Of course, I do too, not so much though...

That point is, to some extent, good.

But let me say... don't care about it too much.

reaction...

Today, I went to my university in Japan.
I was a bit excited and nervous about going to school, 
cuz I hadn't seen my friends for a long time and I was afraid of their reaction by seeing me.


Then, the result was...
not good.
There wasn't really good reaction from them. Actually, some reacted really nice and I was glad.
But I didn't like some guys' reaction. That's one of the worst thing in Japan. 
Some Japanese doesn't show their feelings so much. In U.S,  reactions when I saw my friends were so good.
If they do that, I feel really relieved and glad. 


I went to buy a cellphone. I'm going to buy iPhone!
But I couldn't buy it today because I needed the certification of myself.
This is really complicated in Japan. I had the certification which has kinda great effect on many things.
However, the shop rejected it. I needed more things.
So I'll bring my passport next time so that I can certificate myself well enough!


I have to study for my exam in July. It's coming soon...
so scary...
But I'll try my best until then!

for the first time...

This is the first blog in my life! 
I don't know what to write and how to decorate... but I'll figure it out.


Yesterday, I came back to Tokyo from Wisconsin in U.S.
It was nice 9 months, and I'm missing my important person already.
I hope I can see you again soon.


Today, I'm going to go to my university for the first time in 9 months.
so.... later, I'll try to write more!


then, see ya!
