Life is beautiful

Do you know this song? It is Life is beautiful by Vega 4. Maybe you have listened to it on commercial. It is on the commercial of a movie, My sister's keeper. I like this song very much. I really want to watch this movie! I read some reviews of it. It said that is is very sad and good movie. I wish I could watch it. I want time!

Gyoza Party

I had a lecture for job hunting last Saturday. After that, I went to the dormitory with my friends, because my Chinese friends invited us to gyoza party. We made many gyozas! It was my first time to make gyoza, so I couldn't wrap well. It was difficult! But the gyozas were delicious. We tried to eat them with some sauces, soy sauce, chili sauce and Noritama. I thought Noritama didn't go with gyoza, but it did. It was good. I had good time. We talked a lot while making. I want to make gyoza by myself next time.

Summer Vacation

The summer vacation began. I'm very happy now. I want to go many places. First I'm going to Aso and Summer festival, Hinokunimatsuri. I'm really looking forward to them.
But I have to study for Japanese-language teaching competency test and MOS. And I also have to work much because I need money!! I want to go to England this year. I started to work at Juku recently. I want one more job. I'll do my best for the trip!

Strawberry Swing

I like this video. This is Strawberry Swing by Coldplay. I think it is amazing, interesting and cute. The all pictures in the video were written by hand? I can't believe it.

I did it!

I passed STEP 2st grade! This was the second try. The first is when I was a high school student and couldn't pass the first-stage test. This time, I couldn't do the second-stage test well, so I thought I couldn't pass again. I was asked 4 questions but I couldn't understand them at all. I want listening skills. I will try to improve the skills during this summer vacation.

Report

I had one exam last Tuesday. I have two exams and two reports. Now I'm writing the report of the seminar. I take Sato's seminar and I'm studying great speeches. I think it is interesting. I analyzed famous speech of Martin Luther King in a group. This time I have to analyze one speech alone. This is Term-Paper. I chose a speech of Frederick Douglass because I'm interested in racial problem. But it is very difficult to analyze! I'll work harder to finish it!

Across The Universe

I watched a musical movie, Across the Universe. All songs are The Beatles'. This movie is set in America in the 1960s. I think this movie includes some themes, love, Vietnam war, friendship and so on. And it is unique. I like rather the music scene than the story. The music is really good, for example, Come Together, Hey Jude, I Want To Hold Your Hand, Strawberry Fields Forever and so on. I like Let It Be the best. This scene is sad, but beautiful. I almost cried by it. I want the soundtrack CD of this movie.
