I went to Guatemala for three weeks this year for my summer vacations. I had a really great time in this wonderful Cetral American country! Lovely people, beautiful landscapes, lot of History and ancient cultures... such an amazing place! I met so many nice and kind people there, I am really grateful to them
I am glad to tell you that from this day (Friday) until Sunday, I will be working as a staff of the shop Todomania (トドマニーア) at the Super Japan Expo in Chile!
I had the chance to meet some well-known people, cute maids and Japanese artists!
Todomania has such a wonderful display that grabs people attention immediately! So proud to be part of this!
Nico Nico Douga is streamming the full event too! I had the chance to take a picture with my friend at its place!
These weeks I have been receiving many messages and comments on Twitter, Facebook, Ameblo and Youtube telling me they are supporting me and that I did I good job in Nodojiman the World. Let me express my gratefulness and happiness to read every message you send me. I feel so lucky to have touched people by singing those two songs Everything was like a dream, I met so wonderful people there. I love them. I also want to say thanks to my close people; my family, my families from Japan, my friends from Chile, Japan and many parts of the world! I love them, thank you so much for the unconditional love♡♡♡
I will keep doing my best at singing, at stdies, at Japanese and at everything!!
Hope everyone can reah their oals as soon as they start moving towards them! Let's fight!!
Hope you are fine! I am happy that finally today is the day of the broadcast of Nodojiman The World!! I will be making my TV debut in Japan and sing "Secret Base ~Kimi ga Kureta Mono~" in the contest!
First, I cannot believe that one of those most impossible dreams can become a reality, so I can say once again that even the most hard goal to reach is reachable! Fight for it, at least try to make it true, that is the point! So believe in your abilities
I feel so lucky and grateful not only for appearing on the TV program but to have the chance to go back to Japan and visit my precious people in Gunma! My father, who went with me, fell in love with Japan, "now I understand why you love Japan that much, stay here" he said to me.
Thank you for all the support and love! I cannot ask for anything else, I am so happy with every moment in my life.
Well, I wish you a great day and...........
Don't forget to watch Nodojiman The World on Nihon Terebi at 7 pm
一週間前日本からチリに帰りました。一年間の留学は終わりましたが思い出いっぱいがあって友達も家族も出来ました！ 感想は後で ヾ(＠^▽^＠)ﾉ These are my words for YOU
You can make your dreams come true, I made sure about that.
And it is not that I did all by myself, but if I needed help I asked to find someone who could help me. I was not alone, I don't think that big dreams come true because of the strenght of only one person. When people help you, I think that people start to think that your own dream becomes part of their own lives and that is why they help you and when you reach it they will be also happy and proud of you, because they could support and they are seeing the person the care about is being happy.
I think the big dream was that just being in Japan would had made me complete.
I said once in Japan "My heart was in Japan and I came here to bring it back" "私の心は日本にあったから取りに来ました"
I became an exchange student in Japan, I applied for that not for learning Japanese, it was just to be in Japan, but you know, it costs a lot of money so I changed that thought and once I was in Japan I learnt. I studied basic Japanese for 4 months before the departure.
My whole family and friends supported me in the end. It was my first time getting apart from my family, I was over-protected by my mom. The only one who always said yes was my father. My aunts didn't want me to go, but I was decided, it is my first real decision. Yes, it was one year, will I want to go back while I am there? I didn't think so, I am not like that, I decided and what I start I finish, and this was important because not only it was the effort, lose such quantity of money was not in my mind, it is not a game of whim. Yes, I am going to the other side of the world, but I was not alone, there were other 6 Chilean with me, the staff and volunteers were waiting for us and would take care of us for the whole year. In Chile, it is not common the system of Sister Schools or Exchange programs at school, if we talk about exchange United States is the common target, who would have thought that someone could go to Japan.
I wanted to change too. I was so selfshish, I'm too shy, the miss nobody, I couldn't look in front, I wanted to step forward so I needed something drastic to make the change. I wanted to step forward without someone telling what I should do.
It was time to use what people taught me and what I learnt. That is how my mom told me you trust me, all these years she looked over me and she knew she could trust me.
Taking these decision I wouldn't be able to graduate with my classmates and friends, my cousin was just born; I wouldn't be able to spend time with her, my grandfather was just diagnosed with Parkinson Disease, I would have to give up many things here to go. I don't regret, I knew. It was one year, so many things happened, I won't finish to tell you...
For now, I just want to tell you to follow your dreams, your dreams are goals. Youth is the best moment to make mistakes, to try new things, to have dreams.
Dreams won't come to you easily, so you have to look for them!
This is my story as an Exchange Student in Japan... as a JK!
