Picture 5

I think he was dismissed against his will suddenly and he knew it by reading an e-mail from his company. He was executive of the famous company like Lehman Brothers, but the company was damaged a lot because stocks have taken a sharp drop, so they couldn't help dismising him. He was very shocked at the fact so he couldn't keep standing. He has a wife and some children and some of them were still kindergartners. What could he do? He was lost. The road was full of office workers who were going to go home and they looked at him strangely, but nobody couln't help him.
I (and Siyoo) have another idea. At that time, he was on the way home, then his heart hurted sharp!! He has a heart disease and then heart attack happened!! He couldn't help standing so he went down there.
I think that both of ideas suits with the situation of the picture 5. How about you? Thank you*

Something New!!!

Hello, everyone. These days are gradually becoming very cold!! Today's theme is 'Something New' but I don't come up with what I want to start at all, so I'll talk about 'Something New' that I experienced in my summer vacation. Maybe you know, I had been to China then. In China, I was surprised a lot at everything. First, I was surprised at the colors of cakes. Please look at a photo!! Have you ever seen such a colorful cake? It's very beautiful, but taste wasn't good so much... Second, it's traffic. In Japan, predicts are prior when poeple across the road but in China, cars are prior!! Therefore, if the signal was green,we would have minded cars everytime. Finally, it was the first time that I was stricked my face into a big cake by siniors!! You have seen that on TV, don't you? After that, we had to clean the room and it was hard job... but it was very enjoyable!!!

Travel

Hello, everyone!! Today I'll tell you my travel memory. I have ever been to Guam, Korea,Taiwan, China. I have been to Guam and Korea twice with my family, and Taiwan was my trip of high school. In addition, I have been Tokyo Disney Resort more than 10 times. My parents often took us there when we were children, so now, I love Disney characters very much!! In Guam, I experienced skuba diving and dollphin watching, and they are very enjoyable!! In taiwan, I went to Kyufun where is used for ' Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi' and famous museum (Kokyuu), and so on. They were also enjoyable but to talk with my friends and classmates in hotel all night was the best memory for me. Thank you for your reading!!

Culture

Hello, everyone!! We hold girls party yesterday, and it was very enjoyable!! I'm very sleeply now; Anyway, today I'll tell you about cluture. I think that spa is not only Japanese cluture, but Japanese each one has particulary effects, so I'd like to talk about one of the my favorite spa, "Nobeha no yu". Do you know? First, I'll tell you my favorite points in terms of shampoo, rock souna and service. They use shampoo and conditioner of "Tsubaki".　I think it is rare to use such a famous shampoo and conditioner in public baths. In addition, there is famous fore rock souna. They have various kinds of rock souna,and we can read comics whatever we want to read while we are in rock sounas. There are more than 500 comics, so you'll find your favorite comics. Let's go there together!!!!!

Autumn

Hello, everyone. Today I'll tell you my memory in autumn. When I was a second grade high school student, I went to Kyoto with some of my friends. First, we wanted to go to Kiyomizudera, but we were lost because bus lines in Kyoto were very complex!! However, thanks to a kind bus driver, at last we could arrive there. We saw suvenirs which were sold only there, ate a lot of Yatsuhashi freely (because of this, we couldn't eat lunch;) and took pictures with beautiful colored leaves. Then, we went to Enmusubi temple. Do you know? At the time, all of us didn't have boyfriends, so we desparately preyed. I took 'koi mikuji' and it was a very good luck, but nothing happened in the year!! After that, we went to some places, ninja yashiki, yo-jiya cafe and so on. We enjoyed very much!! This year, I want to go to Kinkaku very much♪ I haven't ever been there. Thank you for your reading^^*

Keeping in touch...

Today, I'd like to introduce my best friends and  my favorite points of them. I can't determine 'best friends' because I love all of Sumiyoshi high school students very much!! All of them have nice individual characters, and they are very clever. My high school doesn't have school rules, so most of them colored hair, had ears pierced, made up. Therefore we were often said we seemed to be university sutudents. In those days, I was very happy all the time, especially thanks to some of my friends, so today I'll call them my 'best friends'.
Their name is ake, chihiro, minami, shiho, akane, mayuko. They are very very very funny and kind!! We hold girls' party once a month, then we talk a lot. We always enjoy and vow to get a boyfriend by next girls' party. However no one has still realized...

There are some of my best friends, I love them very much♪♪

My Ideal Marriage...♪

Hello, everyone!! I'll tell you my ideal marriage and partner. First, I want to hold my wedding ceremony at Hyatt Regency Hotel Osaka, at which I have been working. Do you know Hyatt Regency Hotel? I hadn't heard it before I started my job, but I'm often said it's a first-class hotel. I think the quality of service and a sense of wedding at Hyatt is very marvelous!! I have ever been to other hotels to help when the hotels' workforce lack, but Hyatt is best in terms of many points, I think.
Second, I'll tell you my ideal partner in the future. I'm not good at talking with boys so much, so I have some anxiety wether I can marry or not. But I want to marry a man who is generous with me and has what I don't have, for example a dliver's license( I'll not get it), a little knowledge about machines and personal computers etc. I can't use them at all. Anyway, I'm glad that I can marry in the future^^*

Scary stuff

 Hello, everyone.Today, I'll tell you about my scary stuff. Do you have anything scary stuffs? I think I'm quite tough so I don't have them so much.
 The scariest stuff for me is... insects! Pigeons! Most of the girls are frightened of insects, I think. It's unbelievable why there are people who collect them or go to a insects museum!! It's really impossible for me!! I feel like carrying an insecticide everytime.
 Next, I hate pigens very much. I hear that when I was a child, I often went to a park to feed them with my grandfather, but I don't remember now and don't want to recall. The most uncomfortable point of them is their necks.Especially, the transigtion of colors.
 By the way, I don't fear ghosts so much, but I haven't ever been to haunted houses. Maybe I can't. After all, I'm afraid of them too...
 At the end, I forgot another scary stuff!! It's ...blood. I can't see it and blood vessels even if it's mine. When I see them, I lose power and can't keep standing. Bloodphoboa(?) is sometimes troublesome. I have a lot of scary stuffs than I expected;
Thank you for your reading^^*

My Favorite Season♪

 Today, I'll tell you about my favotite season. How about you? Do you have a favorite season? I like autumn very much, because in autumn, there are a lot of things that other seasons don't have.
 First, 17th November is my birthday♪ I'll be 19 years old. I'm often said that I seem to be older than real age but now, it's accustomed. My parents and my sister give me birthday presents every year. This year, my sister'll give me a eyeshadow of Jill Stuart. I like cosmetics of JILL, so I'm happy♪
 Second, there is Halloween in autumn. When I was a high school student, we had a Halloween party every year. We made autumn sweets and brought them to school, then ate them together in Halloween costume. We enjoyed it very much!!
 Finally, I like autumn clothes very much. All of them are very pretty so I want to go shopping♪ I want to go shopping, USJ, Kyoto and so on, but I have no time... I'm very busy with my part-time job. In autumn, there are a lot of weddings so I must work very hard. I hope that I rest myself from part-time job at least on my birthday!!

My Summer Vacation

How did you do your summer vacation? I had been to China for a month to study Chinese. In China, we had been studying Chinese everyday, so when I speak English I sometimes come up with Chinese first.
 My roommate was Chihyan, do you know her? She was intelligent and is able to do everything that I cannot do, so I depended on her everytime. I could not live without her in China. Thanks a lot!!

 We often went to shopping at the weekend, then we bought a lot of things for examle, shoes and pierced earrings, a bag, DVDs of Korean drama, cosmetics and so on. Prices are very cheap!!

 This is the Great Wall. It has two ways to climb, one is a way for man, the other is a way for woman. The former has very sharp slant but comparatively short, on the other hand the latter has gradual slant butis very long. I climbed a way for man and it was too hard...

They are KGU students who went to China with. They are very kind and funny!! My summer vacation was very nice!!!!

Summer Vacation!!

I'll tell you about my plan in this summer vacation. First, I'll go to China to study Chinese at Kitsurin university for a month. It's the first time that I live without my parents for a month so I am very anxious, but I'm looking forward to going there very much. I have studied Chinese since I was a 2nd high school student so I have wanted to go to China to study Chinese. Second, I'll go to Tokyo Disney Land with my high school friends. I love Duffy so it's enjoyment for me. Last time that I went to TDL and TDS was on February in this year and then, I could see the Duffy's show at very nice seat so my heart hurted because of his cute face and voice.

She is my best friend(wearing red kimono) and I'll go to TDL with 6members included her. My summer vacation will be very nice!!

Poster Comments

 The other day, we had presentations about what I am interested in. Each presentation was very nice and each poster'quority was high. Then, I had presentation about EXILE. My presentation was the first so I was very tensed up. On the way, I couldn't understand what I said because of tention.
 The most impressive presentation was about bike of Kawanisi. I was very surprised that his bike was 300,000yen!(may be...)  Up to now, I earned 1200,000yen by part time jobs but most of the money had gone. I don't remenber what I used it for. I want to buy something big like him.
 Tomomi's presentation was nice too. Her poster was very cute and colorful. I didn't know the difference between 'sweets' and 'desert' before I heared her presentation. I want to exchange sweets if we make.

Differences of Opinion

Today, I'll tell you about differences of opinion between boys and girls. This is a story that I have heared. Commonly, boys want to be the first men for girl friends, for example, he thinks that he wants to takr her to nice places where she has never been to. Boys want to experience various kinds of  'first' she has. On the other hand, girls want to be last women for boy friends. I can't understand this so much but most of people think so. Do you agree to this?
Next, I'll talk about differences of 'pretty'. I often think 'What a pretty girl she is♡' in my heart in this university, and in my high school, there were a lot of pritty girls too. One day, I talked with boys about 'pretty'. Then I noticed there were a lot of differences of it between boys and girls. I couldn't understand 'pretty' they said at all!! The standart of 'pretty' is different for each one even in the same sex. This is very wonderful and interesting.
What is your standard of 'pretty'? And, which do you want to be a beautiful girl or a pretty girl?

Recent Days

Recent days, I have spent my time to write a lot of reports and part time job. I take a recture, called ' Heiwagaku'. In it, we are often instructed to write reports, so I have already submitted them three times!! That recture is very sleepy so I have skipped it. Not only 'Heiwagaku', but also on other rectures, I am afraid of failing credits very much...

On the other hand, I enjoy to play tennis as a circle activity. There are days for practice twice a week, and I usually go to play tennis once a week. To play tennis is very fun but I'm not good at playing it, so seniors usually help me.

Last month, we went to tennis camp. First day, we played tennis about 5 hours so I was very tired...  That night, I talked a lot with my friends and seniors, so I enjoyed very much! There are a lot of funny seniors in my circle activity so I'm always laughing♪

Not a Normal Zoo Day

It all started on a nice sunny day last April. All the kids in school were excited to be going to the zoo, but I was especially excited. I love animals and picnics, and going to the zoo is having both at the same time.

At the zoo, we got to see different animals in their cages and some of them were getting fed by their guards. Each of us had a favorite animal, and mine was the Elephant.

It was all going well, until Sam decided to mess around with the lock on the monkeys' cage and then...
monkeys jumpped out of the cage!!

Monkeys robbed us of popcorn and ice-cream cone and they started running away.

All of us were angry. Sam felt guilty so he made a plan to resolve the trouble and
he started making a way to monkeys' cage with popcorn.

Then monkeys found it and followed it. Sam was in the cage and waited to come in all of monkeys.

At last, all of monkeys came back to the cage, and Sam locked the door from inside.
Then Sam saw his friends laughing at him because the door could only to open from outside.
He cried for us to open the door, but we laughed coldly.

The day was really funny for me, but Sam will be not able to visit the zoo forever...

My Family and Neighborhood

I'll introduce my family and neighbors. First of all, there are five members in my family, a father and mother and old sister and young brother. My father has been working at Nara prefectural office and he had engaged in "Heijo-kyo sento 1200 anniversary". My mother is a dental hygienist but she has a qualification for care-giver too. She seldom scold us so we love her very much. My sister is a  kindergarten teacher and she has been working at a preschool since this spring, and my brother is a freshman in high school. He belongs to rugby club, and he plays it very hard. Most of our lives changed, so we seldom have dinner together recently.
My house is located near a park and a clinic, a lot of apartment houses, it's urban. There are 4 supermarkets which I can go within 5 minutes, but I'm often annoyed by the din of motorbikes and loud voices of drunken persons in the middle of the night. I can go to Tennoji in 10 minutes by bike. Do you know Tennoji? There is new shopping mall, called "Abeno Q's mall". There has a lot of shops so you will enjoy. My town is noisy a little, but it's convenient to me.

The country I want to live...

Which country do you want to live in the future? I'll want to live in Japan forever because I love Japan very much!! Japan has four seasons, so we can see beautiful cherry blossoms in spring and swim in the sea in summer, see colored leaves in autumn, go skiing in winter and so on. In addition, because of this, we can enjoy shopping all the year around. To go shopping is enjoyable to me,so I often go shopping with my friends.
What's more, we can easily spend in Japan because there isn't too hot even in summer, and too cold in winter so it's comfortable to me. But I don't like summer so much because I tan quickly. I'm often said, "Did you go to the beach?". I'm sad...
Japan has many famous spas too. I like to take a bath so I usually take a bath for two hours. Are you surprise at this? But for me, it's average. To take a bath is my healing and durling the time, I think of a lot of occurrences that happened in the day. Some times, I laugh alone but I'm not a stranger!! Anyway, for thses reasons, I'm happy to have been living in Japan☆

my happy GW

I had a very rare experience on May 5 and I think like that will never happen. I have been working at Hyatt Regency Hotel Osaka as a banquet staff. The day, there was a charity talk show event for that big earthquake on March 11, which was done by Akihiro Yano who was a catcher of Hanshin Tigers. I looked forward to seeing him, but it was little hope because we must usually stop the service for gests durling his or her performance. But before the event started, I had said to go another room and service some cups of tea for gests there. I didn't know who was in the room. Then I entered there, I could see him!! He was talking with his manager, Kunihiro Matsumura and TBS anouncer who I often see on TV.  I serviced tea to everyone then, Mr.Yano said to me 'Thank you'. I was very very happy♪　'Why have I to work even GW?!' I thought but I was very lucky to be able to work the day. My job is very hard so my friends working with me quitted. But I can learn a lot of good manner and sometimes, I can see famous persons like that. So I will go on working at hotel until I cry♥♥

My childhood memory♪

 I have a lot of memories with my family when I was a child. The memory that I have been remembering the best is when we went to Tokyo Disneyland at the age of 5 or 6. I don't remember what rides I took at all, but I remember that my mother bought a small music box to me. Its sound was beautiful and I was very happy.
After two weeks, very very big box was delivered by home-delivery service. I wandered what this was and opened it. Then very big Dumbo(stuffed toy) appeared!! My mother and father had bought it in secret in TDL. I was very pleased at it and I had been slept with him. I loved him very much!!  Even now, I have him and a music box. These are precious things for me.
This is my lovely memory and one of the reason I love Disney characters.

What I like about Japan

I like Japan it is because Japan has four seasons. I like spring and autum. But I like clothes when I wear durling summer and winter. The reason why I like spring and autum is that these seasons are comfortable to walk and to do all things. I like to see flowers, so I am happy to go a picnic under the cherry blossoms in spring. And in autum, there is my birthday. It is November 17!! Anyway I feel happy to be born in Japan.
Another what I like about Japan is food. Japan has many traditional foods for example Udon, Sushi, Wagashi and so on. I have a Soba allergy but except for it, I can eat all foods. I often cook Western food because it looks beautiful than Japanese food. So I want to be able to cook Japanese food delicious. And I'll try to make sweets with Mochigome.
In addition, Japanese garden has a pond with corp. I like to see corp but everyone says I am quite a character. My favorite carp is mixed color with white and red and black. I can see carp for a long time and it's my healing.

about me

 My name is Marina Yanagihara. I was born in Osaka and I have been living in Osaka.  I have an older sister and a younger brother. She is a kindergarten teacher and he plays rugby at high school. I graduated from Sumiyoshi high school. I was a manager of rugby club(3month).

I mainly service a wedding reception. The job is very hard,but I can learn a lot of things from that. When I see beautiful brides,I want to marry early. I want to marry a man like Ken Horiuchi. I love him very much.Thank you for your reading!
