Hey!


I FINISHED 「アヒルと鴨のコインロッカー」!!

いえーい☆

I finished reading it yesterday, and saw the movie as well. The movie was as equally good as the book.


I decided to start reading an English book from today.

久しぶりに洋書を読んでみようと思い、今日一冊買ってきました!

Jerry Spinelli の "Stargirl"

面白そう♪♪


明日は、ヒップホップダンスが得意な友達と代々木公園へ行き、ダンスを教えてもらいます☆

ついでにピクニックもしちゃいます☆

I gotta wake up early tomorrow and make sandwiches!

明日は早起きしてサンドイッチ作らなきゃ!

I bought the ingredients for that today at the supermarket.そのための材料も今日買ってきました☆ サンドイッチ用のパン、アボカド、チーズ、ハム!All set for tomorrow ☆


そしてそしてー!

Day after tomorrowは、


伊豆!!!!!!!!

I can hardly control my excitement. I'M SOOOOOOO EXCITED!!

Hey everyone~


Summer break is almost over for me!(´□`。)

夏休みがあと10日で終わってします!


So here is what is up with my lately...


1)Practicing some new songs on my guitar


Right now, I am practicing 2 NEW SONGS on my guitar!

The first one is 「HERO」by Mr. Children.

I love the song, but its soooo difficult to sing!

ミスチルの曲って、歌うの難しいですよねー!....って思ってるのは私だけ?(笑)


The second one is 「ハナミズキ」by一青拗。

I recently saw the movie「ハナミズキ」and I LOVED the 主題歌! That is why I am practicing it on the guitar.


大学祭が近づいているので、大学祭の発表に向けて頑張らないと!(*^▽^*)

If you are going to be somewhere near Iidabashi during November 1, 2,3 or 4, please stop by to see me perform!


2)Reading a new book


数日前に読みだしたのが、伊坂幸太郎の「アヒルと鴨のコインロッカー」☆

I've only read about 1/5 of the book, but so far, I am enjoying it!!!

今日も喫茶店で2章ほど読んで来ましたー!

What's interesting about the book is that some of the chapter(=章)s are in the past and some are in the present, and as you read, the past and the present start fusing=(融合する)!


伊坂さんだと、前に読んだだことあるのが「重力ピエロ」!!

だけど「重力ピエロ」は私的に微妙でした!笑

でもこの本はなんだか面白そうです!

最後はどう終わるのかな?楽しみです(‐^▽^‐)

My goal is to finish reading the book by the beginning of the fall semester!目標は、新学期が始まるまでに読み終えることです!




...そんな感じかな?


そうだそうだ!I'm going to IZU with my friends from the guitar circle on the 16th, by car!

9月16日にギターサークルの友達とドライブに行きます☆伊豆に行っちゃいます!☆ それが楽しみでしょーがない(><)笑


ちょっと日本語率が高いブログでしたが、

Thanks for reading!

I will write again very soon :)

Hi!


Yesterday night I went drinking with my friends from サークル!I had sooo much fun! 楽しかったー(^U^)そのままオールしたい気分でした☆


So, starting from tomorrow, it will be SEPTEMBER!!

明日から9月ですねー!

Summer Break is almost halfway over, and school will begin again very soon! 新学期が始まってしまう!

I better enjoy the rest of my Summer Break!


So anyways, here is what is up with me lately:


1) I started playing the guitar again

-Lately its been all about the keyboards (最近はキーボードばっかり弾いてたけど)、but Ive taken up playing the guitar again. It's fun to play the guitar and to sing! I even made my YouTube debut lately - in the video, I'm playing the guitar and singing! なななんとユーチューブデビューをしてしまいました☆

なんとなく恥ずかしいので、また後ほどリンクを載せますね☆

Anyways, playing the guitar is cool! Lately I have been playing a song by 福山雅治 called 「東京にもあったんだ」. My mom loves 福山雅治, so she becomes very happy every time I play the song. Hahaha :)


2) Almost finished with 東野圭吾's book

-If youve been reading my blog you know that I am a 東野圭吾 fan! And lately Ive been reading his book called 「どちらかが彼女を殺した"」 Its an exciting mystery book, and I'm almost finished with the reading! 残り20、or 30ページぐらいかな!☆


3)Gonna enter a subtitle translating contest

-A few days ago I was walking inside my school and I saw a flyer about a subtitle-translation contest for the movie "Eat, Pray, Love" (数日前に大学のキャンパス内を歩き回っていたら、映画「食べて祈って恋をして」の字幕翻訳コンクールのポスターを見つけたのです^^ エントリーしてみることにしました^^ Please wish me luck! I will do my best :) しめきりが9月半ばだから急がないと(><)


4)Studying politics

-Do you know 池上彰?Basically, if you turn on the TV, he's there. Hahahaha! I'm not exactly sure about his profession, but he is on all of these informative TV programs that teaches people about politics, economics, etc. Lately, I bought his book! 「池上彰の学べるニュース」の本版を買いました!政治について無知識なので勉強せねばと思って!7月は結構気合い入ってたのに8月は読んでません!また読もなきゃなー!


So other than these 4 things, I'm usually hanging out with my friends or chilling at home watching American dramas (chilling=relaxing)


Anyways, tomorrowはU.S. marines (米軍)の友達と浅草に行っちゃいます!He has never tried もんじゃ so we are gonna try some もんじゃ!いえい☆


そして9月も、サークルの友達の家に泊まりにいったり、サークルの3年生全員で伊豆に行ったりします☆

9月もたーのしみ!


残りの夏休み満喫しまっせー♪♪


日本語が多めの日記になってしまいましたが、I will write again real soon! Thanks for reading :) and remember, LEAVE COMMENTS!!! Hahahaha :)
