At first, I’m going to introduce about my home. It’s in the southern part of Kumamoto city and the country. A rural landscape spread out as far as the eye can see. I like this landscape it makes me breathed a sigh of relief. And people of the area where I live in are very gentle and heartwarming. I always change greetings to them when I see in the roads. They always call out to me “Good morning”, “Hello” and “Home back”. And my home is the most favorite relax place for me. I like a peculiar to smell of my home. I can breathe a sigh of relief when I go back to there from the university and a part-time job. The most favorite relax rooms for me are my room and the living room. My room is about a six-mat room and places bed, desk and closet. Furniture is few. I don’t know why, but I feel that things are much and my room is mixed up together. But it’s a point of that I can breathe a sigh of relief. I mostly stay in my room while I am in my home. And the living room is the place where my family gets together. Everybody stay in there when we eat dinner and watch TV. There are TV, tables, sofa and snacks in the living room. When it’s fall and winter, a table changes to a kotatsu; covered table with a heat source underneath. And ordinary carpet changes to an electrical hot carpet and a gas fan heater appears on the living room. That’s why my family tends to gather in there than before. And we eat oranges and one-pot dish cooked at the table together. That’s why my home is the most favorite place.

Next, I’m going to introduce about my grand parents’ home. My grandparents’ home of my mother’s side manages a liquor shop. There are alcohol drinks, foods, snacks, drinks, magazines, lottery and ice creams in there. There is a Paradise for me because I eat many snacks at any time. That’s why I always stayed in my grandparents’ home and I skive off a nursery school when I was a little child. I often go to there by car and bicycle until now because there is next to the area of my home. And my favorite relax rooms in my grandparents’ home are the living room and the Japanese-style room. There are TV, tables, snacks and sofa in the living room. When it’s fall and winter, a table changes to a kotatsu and a gas fan heater appears on there. And there are household Buddhist alter, table and mat in the Japanese-style room. I always visit a household Buddhist alter when I go to my grandparents’ home. I have been fallen into this habit since I remembered. Thanks to this habit, I have been able to strike a match since I was a child. That’s why my grandparents’ home is a one of my favorite places.

Lastly, I’m going to introduce about my office. I work on the foods shop in a Department store. I work three times a week and eight times a day as my art-time job. My part-time job is a register. There are foods, vegetables, drinks, alcohol drinks, snacks and meats in the foods shop. I have worked in there for about three months and I got skilled a little. I feel quite at home in my office because all employees are very gentle and kind. I work in a very good office and I can hold out my job even if I work a difficult job. And sometimes my friends visit to my office to that they watch me so I become too shy and foppish every time. They don’t buy merchandises anything and only watch me and go back.

My favorite Ghibli movies



This time, I'm going to introduce about my favorite Ghibli movies. They are "Whisper of the Heart", "Spirited away", "Kiki's Delivery Service", "LAPUTA: Castle in the Sky" and "Princess Mononoke". At first, I watched "Princess Mononoke" in the Ghibli movies for the first time. When I was in a child attending kindergarten. At that time, I couldn't in the least understand about this story because it was very difficult for little child. But I have watched this movie many times after I entered in the university and I still haven't be able to understand about this story. I thought that Ashitaka who is a heroine is very cool every time. Maybe I will be able to understand about this story when I would be more adult. Next, I watched "Whisper of the Heart", "Kiki's Delivery Service" and "LAPUTA: Castle in the Sky" when I was in a child attending kindergarten. "Whisper of the Heart" is a youthfulness movie of junior high school students. They are caught between dream and real, so they advance towards their own dreams. And it's mixed with love story as only as youthfulness movie. I feel happy and shy after I finish watching this movie. Next, "Kiki's Delivery Service" is a dreamy movie for me because a heroine of this movie is a witch. She stays unknown place to training and experiences various sufferings. Finally, she grows up as a full-fledged witch. I have watched this movie many times since I was in a child attending kindergarten. I have been bubbling until now when I watch it. I have been wanted to be a witch and fly by a broom in the sky until now. Next, "LAPUTA: Castle in the Sky" was a very fearful movie for me when I watched for the first time. Because the monster which appears on this movie is very fear, I have been felt fearful a little until now when I watched it alone. But I like this movie because my heart is warmed after I watch it. Lastly, I watched “Spirited away” with my parents in the movie theater when I was in the fourth grade of elementary school. At that time, a heroine of this movie and I are almost my age. So watching the movie, I felt myself as the heroine. This movie is wonderful amusing because I haven’t imagined the world ever. I feel like be an adult and impressed after I watch it. And I love background music on movies in Ghibli movies. All movies what I introduced above-mentioned movies are love and make me happy and relax. A composer is Joe Hisaishi. I respect him because he makes composed songs which makes people relax. When I’m tired and feel like crying, I always listen to music he composed. Ghibli movies are very wonderful, and also music is very wonderful.

My favorite Disney movies


This time, I'm going to introduce about my favorite Disney movies. They are "Beauty and the Beast", "Monsters, Inc.", "sleeping Beauty", "Enchanted" and "101 Dalmatians". At first, I like the beauty about "Beauty and the Beast". I thought that Bell of a heroine in this movie is very gentle and her heart is very purity and doesn't have prejudice. Because if she has prejudice, she doesn't absolutely fall in love with the beast. I want to follow her example in what she attaches greader importance at heart and not judge outward looks. so, she could be in love with a very wonderful man and become a princess. Next, I watched "Monsters, Inc." with my parents in the theater when I was in the fourth grade of elementary school. I remember that my mother was moved to tears when we watched it. This movie is a heartwarming story about that two monsters and a little girl. And I'm often said that look like a little girl of this movie. So, my icon of twitter is a picture of the little girl. And it will be shown "Monsters, Inc. 2" next year. I'm looking forward to watch it. Next, I have been liked "Sleeping Beauty" since I was a little child. Maybe I watched it when I was in a child attending kindergarten. I'm very deeply attached to the beauty of picture. The picture is antique but it is very beautiful. Next, I watched "Enchanted" last year in the library of the university. To tell the truth, I wanted to watch it in the movie theater. But it was good that I watched it in the AV room because I watched it while I made myself comfortable. I love the music of this movie. What is particularly favorite are "True Love's Kiss", "That's How You Know", "Happy Working Song" and "So Close". These songs makes me happy and cheerful. Lastly, I have been loved "101 Dalmatians" for a long time. Maybe I watched it for the first time when I was in a child attending kindergarten. This story is wonderful amusing. I thought that how terrible this movie produced because there are 101 Dalmatians. And little dogs are very cute. All Disney movies make me happy and laughing and pleasant.

My favorite Smart Phone and iPod


This time, I'm going to introduce about my favorite Smart Phone and iPod. A type of my smart Phone is docomo. To tell the truth, I want iPhone in Softbank. Because there are lots of iPhone covers. Smart Phone doesn't have covers at all. I want to have iPhone and fix a cute cover to iPhone. And iPhone in Softbank has a good point. It can call free of charge among Softbank. I'm so envious of that. Smart Phone can't call free of charge among docomo. It can only call free of charge among family. But such Smart Phone has some good points.At first, there are many kinds of Smart Phone. There are cute it, for business and for person of advanced age. Smart Phone can use expensive people. Next, Smart Phone can change the theme each pages such as home and menu by using a play store. It's very wonderful function because I can change my favorite theme each pages. iPhone can change only background. My theme in my Smart Phone is hello Kitty now. It's very cute and I feel happy. Next, I'm going to introduce about my favorite iPod. iPod had same function with iPhone. But iPod can't get through on Wi-Fi function outside. So, I use it in my house and the university every day when I need Wi-Fi function. I always use it when I listen to music. And iPod can mail and telephone because function is same with iPhone. But maybe it will be demanded payment if user mail and telephone. Because iPod isn't demanded payment every month. So I don't use function that not free service no matter what. But I always make good use of iPod. I listen to music while I go and back from the university and part-time job. And sometimes I watch various TV programs by using it while I lie in the bed. It's very comfortable. I want to make good use of Smart Phone and iPod from now on.

BR 2-06: BUZZ and ZIP GET LOST


“We got away just in time”, Buzz, and he set off for planet Zero as fast as he could. (P.16)

This time, I read this book about two creatures from in the earth. I thought about Mars after I read it. Now, NASA investigates about it. And whether creature from outer space exist or not. This question is became the center of public attention by all the countries of the world. Off course, I pay attention to it. Matters that is known about Mars now are the soil in there is very similar to the soils of near the volcano in Hawaii and water had existed at once time. Whether water had existed or not is a matter of whether creature had existed in Mars or not. And human who lives in the earth thinks that human ships to and makes them lived in there. In other words, it makes Mars to be the second earth. Because the earth will be surely collapse and vanish someday. I can’t believe this matter and I’m afraid of pass away myself and the earth vanish. Not to change the subject, I haven’t seen U.F.O ever. But I have some friends who have seen it. I have seen creature from outer space in TV. It is like an animals and quite different from human. But I thought about it from a different point of view. I thought how creature from outer space thinks to our human. Our human is also creature from outer space in another creature from outer space position. I’m looking forward to hear new discoveries of the universe. Universe is all strange world.

BR 2-05: Jump!


“Do you want to go back up and do another jump?”


This time, read a book about skydiving. A man who is blind challenges it in this story. I think that people who are blind skydive is about five times fearer than people who have eyesight. In my case, I never want to skydive because I’m a fear of heights. And I can’t ride a roller coaster because I’m afraid of a high place and a sentation like that lose my internal organs. So, I think people who like riding a roller coaster really wonderful. And I think that they have courage because they enjoy with fear. I can never enjoy with fear by riding a roller coaster. Roller coaster is similar to skydiving. So I can never skydive. But I think that it will be able to change a one’s view of the world be skydiving. If I would be skydiving, I would be able to have courage. I hesitate to go into action all conduction because I don’t have courage. I can’t go into action and have a lot of repentance for myself. I have a lot of repentance but I have lived for about twenty years yet. I think that my life will have a lot of repentance and trifling as I am now. I detest myself that get a case of the jitters to small matter. I want to change such as myself because this year I’m going to be twenty. Twenty is very good for and end. I want to challenge big something for me to part from myself that not have courage and not go into action and have a lot of repentance. Skydiving is very good event for it. And maybe it’s very good chance that be able to overcome a weak point.

BR 2-04: DANGER in the SNOW


There was just one thing to do. (P.8)




This time, I read a book about a polar bear and she struggle against the wolves to protect her two cubs. One day, they were playing in the snow and it was time to get them some food, so she jumped off the ice into the water. When she came out of the water, her cubs were gone and they were in danger. Six wolves were running towards them. The wolves would eat the cubs if they could. The polar bear had to make the wolves come after her struggle against. Finally, she overcame them and her cubs escaped without injury. This story is about love that a female parent protects her child. I think that the writer of this book wants to tell our readers unfathomable love parents have affection for their children. All animals have this love not only the polar bear in this book. In my case, my parents have been worried and loved me even now I’m going to be twenty in this month. I often think persistent and troublesome to them. If things don’t go well and I’m very tired, I take it out on them. But all the same they are gentle for me. My mother cooks breakfast, a packed lunch, dinner and clean in house and do the washing every day. She is very busy with household for family. And my father works every day for family and he doesn’t have holiday so much. But I give my family the cold shoulder. I’m so pathetic and they look like a child without the winning ways of children. They often talks about me when I was a little child recently. They often talk “Hinako was so cute at that time.” When I heard it, I have to be gentle and appreciate to them. This month, I’m going to be twenty and there is a coming-of –age celebration. At that time, I’m going to wear a long-sleeved kimono. My father bought it for me. I’m really happy daughter and appreciate him. And I have to be a grow-up in my personality. I really appreciate my family who brought up me.
