Hi tom! How are you? I'm fine.

I'm going to talk about what I did on this Monday!

It was "coming of age day" on Monday. Seijin no hi in Japanese.

Yes! I'm 20 years old now!

That day, I woke up at 5 o'clock to get ready.

I went to a hair dresser to have my hair done and to wear "Hurisode"(looks like a kimono).

It was so early to wake up for me but I was so excited to see my old friends who I haven't seen for a long time.

There were so many 20-year-old people in Chiba port hall.

Men were wearung suits or "hakama", and women were wearing "hurisode".


I had a lot of fun at there.

At night I had an alumni association of junior high school.

There were my old teacher too!!!

Do you have like alumni association often?


I thought it is important to meet many people and old friends to share or talk about memories.

1/18 Thinking day

I was so sad because of what one of my friend of boy (not bf) said to me.
What he said made me so sad and cry.

He said that he is gonna break up our friendship and not gonna meet or talk.




He wanted to go out with me, but I couldn't. I don't feel like going out with somebody now. I think it is because of what I experienced with my ex boyfriend.
So, I refused it feeling sorry to him.

I and he were good friends before. I really like him and respect his way of living.
I was thinking that i wanna be one of his good friends.


So, his thinking made me so sad.

I dont like when people dislike me and leave me.


ughhhh i dont really know what i was wanting to say. hahaha-



.......i think im gonna go to bed. bye for today

2009年1月17日土曜日

1/15 Ciara -Get up

have you ever seen a movie called "STEP UP"?
It is the movie about Dance i recommend to u to see it!

this is a song by Ciara

(Intro - Ciara) Uh, yeah! Uh, ow! Uh, yeah!
(Jazze Pha) Ladies and Gentlemen, Ciara!

(Verse 1 - Ciara) You said, "Hi, my name is so-and-so,
baby, can you tell me yours?" You look like you came to do one thing;
set it off! I started on the left, then I had to take him to the right.
He was out of breath, but he kept on dancin' all night.
Keep tryin, oh baby, but you just can't break the feelin' inside.
You know it, and I can see it in your eyes! You want me,
smooth as a motha*. You was so undercover, by the way that you was watchin' me.

(Chorus - Ciara) Ooh, the way you look at me I'm feelin' you.
I just can't help it, tryna keep it cool. I can feel it in the beat,
when you do those thangs to me, don't let nothin' stop you. Mo-o-ove,
ring the alarm, the clock is jumpin', now. So get up!

(Verse 2 - Ciara) I said, "Ciara's on your radio,
everybody turn it up!" Spicy just like hot sauce.
Careful, you might burn it up. You can do the poplock,
ragtime, don't stop. That's the way you gotta get it to make ya body rock.
Keep tryin, and maybe, but you just can't break the feelin' inside.
You know it, 'cause I can see it in your eyes! You want me, smooth as a motha*.
You was so undercover, by the way that you was watchin' me.

(Chorus - Ciara) Ooh, the way you look at me I'm feelin' you.
I just can't help it, tryna keep it cool. I can feel it in the beat,
when you do those thangs to me, don't let nothin' stop you. Mo-o-ove,
ring the alarm, the clock is jumpin', now. So get up!

(Bridge - Ciara) Ooh, I love the way your vibin' me, dance for me, forever.
We can have a good time, follow me to the beach, together. You and me,
one on one, breakin' it down. You can walk away, now. (Oh-oh-oh)
They 'bout to turn this place out. Ooh, ooh!

(Verse 4 - Chamillionaire) It's the kids, they ridin' big;
the one police try to catch ridin' dirty. In the club,
before eleven o'clock, like I'm tryna catch a dime kinda early.
Lookin' thick, her hair brown and curly, she love the way my ride shinin' pearly.
City boys say she fine and pretty, and the country boys say she fine and purty.
Mom and pops think it's green as curry, and the ladies know soon as they see my
jewerly. If bein' fresh to death is a crime, I think it's tme I see a jury.
You know, Chamillionare stay on the grind, a hustler like me is hard to find.
I ain't really impressed, yes, unless it's about some dollar sign.
Really no need to call ya fine, I know you be hearin' that all the time.
Watchin' ya do ya step, do ya step, yes, it's goin' down.

(Chorus - Ciara) Ooh, the way you look at me I'm feelin' you.
I just can't help it, tryna keep it cool. I can feel it in the beat,
when you do those thangs to me, don't let nothin' stop you. Mo-o-ove,
ring the alarm, the clock is jumpin', now. So get up! (x 2)

(Outro - Ciara) I got to have ya, baby. I feel it, I feel it,
I got to have ya baby! Uh-uh, I got to have ya baby.

1/13 Still Coming Of Age Day

I had a lots of fun yesterday to meet my friends whom I haven't seen for a long time, like for 5 - 8 years.
All of my friends seem to be grown up a lot compared to the last time that i saw them.
Many women changed to be beautiful I thought!!!!


I was so amazed by one of my friends, Natsuki!!!
Look this pic!!! lol

She said "Today is not the coming of age day but the costume party day in the style of coming of age day!!!!"

What a ...... lol I laughed so hard. lol



After the ceremony, I went to the alumni of my junior high school.

We did this party in a hotel, so that the dishes were so rich and so delicious!!!!

yummmmmmmmm!!!! I wish you guys were there too!!! haha




I could see my old teacher he is my favorite of junior high school days.



he used to teach social studies!!

when i was a junior high school student, i like this teacher, but I could not like the social studies at all. lol

I made him worry sometimes. haha


I took many pictures here too!!




they were organizers of this alumni.

We did bingo game!!! The prizes were so luxury!!!! like DS the game boy, and perfumes and Wii the game boy and so on.


My bingo didn't fall on but its ok. haha


After this party, We had a post-party party at a karaoke bar until the next morning!!! lol

1/12 Coming Of Age Day



Seijin Shiki is the Japanese coming-of-age ceremony.
It is held annually on Seijin no Hi, the second Monday in January.
Festivities include ceremonies held at local and prefectural offices and parties amongst family and friends to celebrate passage into adulthood.

This day is the Japanese national holiday!!

The age of majority in Japan is 20.
The seijin shiki covers all those who will reach this age during the current school year, which runs between April and the following March. The ceremony is generally held in the morning at local city offices and all young adults who maintain residency in the area are invited to attend.
Government officials give speeches, and small presents are handed out to the new adults.


Many women celebrate this day by wearing a furisode (a style of kimono with long sleeves that drape down). The furisode is made of very fine, brightly colored silk.
Since most are unable to put on a kimono by themselves due to the intricacies involved in putting one on, many choose to visit a beauty salon to dress and to set their hair. Yes, I did too!! I woke up at 5:00 and got ready for going to a beauty salon to get hair done. I did my nail done too the other day!

A full set of formal clothing is expensive, so it is usually either inherited or rented rather than being bought specially for the occasion. My family bought one for me!! I thought that im a foolish person ever and felt so sorry to my family because the furisode which i wore is soooooo expensive. omg I have never thought that it would be that price.... being able to buy a car.
Anyways, men sometimes also wear traditional dress (dark kimono with hakama).





After the ceremony, (after taking lots and lots of pictures) the young adults often gather in groups and go to parties or go out drinking. yeah
I went a alumuni of junior high school!


to be continued!!

It was first time for me to decolate my nails at nail salon.
I was amazed at the price!! almost $200!!! omg
But its ok because this time is special!! just for the coming of age day!



After having my nails done, I went back to my home town Chiba by train.
It takes 2 hours to go home!! soooo tired.

1/8 Not ready to make nice by Dixie Chicks

Today i had an exam of Aosta!!!
We have to take 4courses of Aosta. It is compulsory subject.
ughhhhh!!! I wanna study what im interested in !!!so bad


anyways yesterday I was stuying for today's exam listening this song " not ready to make nice" by Dixie Chicks
Have you ever listened this song??

Dixie Chicks are country music group.
The music video for "Not Ready to Make Nice", which was directed by the acclaimed British director Sophie Muller, uses the contrast of dark and white colors. The video starts with a scene of Natalie painting the white clothes of the other two band members, Martie and Emily, with black paint, which symbolizes the boycott of the band. Then, Natalie is seen wearing a black dress with her hands on a puddle of black paint. In another scene, the band members are sitting in a chair and when Natalie gets up to say something, Martie and Emily pull her back in to the chair. Then, Natalie and the other Dixie Chicks are seen in an environment that looks like a classroom and the teacher sends Natalie to write "To talk without thinking is to shoot without aiming" on the blackboard. On the final scenes of the video, Natalie is seen in front of three doctors in what appears to be a mental institution, trying to escape from them.

The music video of the song broke the record as the longest run at #1 on VH1's VSpot Top 20 Countdown spending 14 weeks at the top, 13 of them consecutive. The video also became the second ever to retire on the show on 7 October 2006, when it was at #9 on the countdown. In December 2006, it was named one of the best videos of the year by VH1. "Not Ready to Make Nice" was ranked #36 on CMT's 100 Greatest Videos.(quoted by wiki)

"Not Ready to Make Nice" was very well-received by music reviewers from publications like Allmusic, Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone and USA Today. The song has been praised by these critics for being a statement in which the band does not regret Maines' anti-Bush statement.

I look up to their courage!!

1/7 Study Day




Today I studied Spanish with yuma.
I don't like study ugh....
But I like to study only English since i was in junior high.
I think that people can speak English are so cool.lol
I don't know why but this is my first impression of English.

My friend yuma was studying for exam of secretary.
I think that license of secretary is gonna be a good ability when we have to be interviewed for jobs.
So, I'm going to study secretary when i turn a 2nd year student, because now in 1st year is so busy to take classes and do lots of home works for IE.
I hope that 2nd year student would have more own time to do something in which i interested.

1/5 about myself

Im gonna introduce about myself to you
Do you know Chiba city? Chiba is my home town.
Chiba city has Tokyo Disney Land, Tokyo Disney sea it’s like sea world, and International airport.
So, Chiba city has lots of visitors from all over the world.

I went to Canada to learn to speak English better.
I thought I would like to speak English more and more because I think people can speak English are cool!!
I have learned English in school since I was 12.
I took English just Canadian take French class.
I have belonged to a group in Japan called LABO.

It’s a club we go to once a week after school that helps us learn about English language and culture.

When I was 13 I spent one month in Novascotia.

Before I went to Manitoba, I spent 2 weeks in B.C to learn English for 2weeks.
I stayed at host family’s house.
My host family was only a grand mother. She is 85 years old.
In the morning, she always said to me, “Hi Mariko, Did you have a good sleep??”
Sometimes she forgot many things.
She is so cute.

I wanted to become flight attendant in the future. So, I thought exchange program would be very good for me. But I’m thinking about my job in the future again. Because I don’t want to ride in my plane with snakes. jk lol

Anyway, I will learn English more and I want to have more choices of my job in the future.

I have learned 3 things about my self since I went to Canada.

First, I learned how much I depended on my parents before I went to Canada.

Second, I learned how difficult listening and translating and speaking English all day long every day was.
Sometimes this gave me a headache and I got very tired.
I didn’t guess that would happened.

Third, I have gained weight. So I learned how much I loved Canadian foods!!

My goal is to speak and understand English fluently.
