New year's resolution-HARUKA

New year's resolution
I'll read as many books in English as I can in 2006. In 2005, I read 14 English books. ( some books were easy, the other were over 300 pages and difficult for me.) I believe that more I read books in English, more I get something out of the books.

Luminarie-HARUKA

December 22nd-Tomo

On December 22nd, the weather was snowy today. I and my nieces were over-joyed. We make a snowman and had a snowball fight. Of course outside was so cold and breezy and today was a heavy snowfall unknown in recent years. In fact, I'm not myself in good condition these days, so I came back my cold. I repentance very much.

advice-MASA

Hello. Today, I will advice about diet. I think that a meal and exercise are important for diet. About a meal, the breakfast was only a cereal or two slices of bread, the lunch was a sandwich and I had enough eaten the supper. About the supper, I had enough in carbohydrates, and the fat was only chicken. Needless to say I did not eat some snacks. About exercise, I walked about 10km every day. Honestly I did not want to diet but my life changed, therefore I had to spend such a life for a month. I lost about 6kg in 20 days, but I was not able to eat a vegetable. I don’t recommend this life, but I felt that it was important things to do exercise and to stop a snack for diet. See you E2 Masa

future-Masa

Hello. I will graduate YMCA in March next year, so I have a lot of plan that I have to do it.

I want to meet them laughingly in the future and I want to certainly grant my dream. Next year, I would like to live without regret with future aim. I hope next year will be an even better year for you. See you next year! E2 Masa

12/23 My Christmas memory-HARUKA

12/23 My Christmas memory.
The greatest Christmas in my life was 2 years ago. My family spend our Christmas time in New Caledonia. It's warm, comfortable Christmas. There were a lot of stars in the clear sky, and we were watching them as we walked along the beach.

Christmas memory – Butch
At Christmas two year before, I was in Salzburg in Austria for sightseeing. This picture shows “Wiener Schnitzel” (a breadcrumbed and fried veal escalope), which is one of Austrian traditional foods. It was absolutely gigantic and scrumptious!! Of course I had a splendid night with beer and got them much…at last I was legless…

Christmas Eve-Masa

Hello. It was Christmas Eve on that day. I arranged to meet my friend at a shopping district. My acquaintance walked with his girlfriend then. They looked very happy. But a half year later, he went out with a different girl. Unfortunately, they parted about a month ago of Christmas. I thought about nothing then, but I did not feel sorry for him. Now I think that getting splendid human relation with person is more valuable that spend Christmas with somebody. I think I can't deep our relation only by spending time together with person. I regret for only spending together and ending our relation. See you & Merry Christmas!! E2 Masa

(Christmas Memory)-Reiko

(Christmas Memory)
I've never believed in Santa Claus since I was child.
Until a couple years ago, I've had a Christmas party with some of my relatives. During the party, I was in the disguise of Santa every year. That's why I've never believed in it. I gave presents to everyone because I WAS Santa. However, after that I got many presents from everyone even though I was Santa.

YMCA Christmas Concert - Butch

16/Dec/2005 – Butch
Hi, there! This time, I was in Tosabori YMCA for Christmas concert. I helped the backstage as a volunteer and enjoyed the concert. Tomoe Sawa’s piano play was absolutely fantastic and impressed! I haven’t listened such a live performance so much and I realized that between listening to music in CD’s and live is completely different taste and atmosphere!!

joke - Masa

Hello. When I intend to let somebody laugh, I sometime say a joke seriously. The people who friendly relations with me immediately understand that it is a joke, however the different people sometimes believe it. In that case, we become slightly awkward. When I say a joke that they mistake for the truth, they immediately understand it is the truth or the lie. I think when I feel gentleness pleasure or joyfulness, I say a joke. I think that the relation understanding a joke each other is important and splendid. Masa

Tissue Paper - Haruka

Tissue Paper〜you must laugh!!〜
A guy is in a public toilet, but soon discovers there is no toilet paper on the roll. He calls into the next booth, "Do you have any tissue paper in there?"
"No." comes the reply.
" Do you have any newspaper?"
"Sorry!"
"Ummm, do you have ten ones for a ten?"
He tries to use paper moneies instead of paper!!

bizarre or funny things in the world - Butch

There are many bizarre or funny things in the world, but I can't live without them. I do need entertainment to create myself. These pictures are taken by my friend and I got them. These are absolutely ridiculous and I like them! Have you got any incredible pictures??

Traffic lights – Butch

Why Japanese people say “blue signal” instead of “green signal” in traffic light. As everyone knows, it’s obviously blue coloured signal. Why can’t people say “blue”?? On law until 1946, a "green signal" is right and does not call it a blue signal. However from Japanese sensibility, we tend to call “blue” instead of “green” in many things. For instance, “Seika which means blue and fruits in Japanese” for “green vegetable”, moreover, “Aoba which means blue and leaves in Japanese” for “green leaves”. In the law by the legal revision in 1947, “blue signal (Aosingo in Japanese)” is right to call it. In spite of that, traffic lights still have green colours. I always wonder that!

Why do I gain weight ? - Tomomi

Recently, I becoming roly-poly, so I'm very anxious to fat. This is caused by wrong eating habits and shortage of exercise. Young people nowadays loves fast-foods and personal computer. Therefore we lower our metabolic, so we need exercise moderately and improve our eating habits. If we are above our caloric intake, they are stack up by our subcutaneous fat and internal fat. Be careful.

Why does Santa wear red clothes...? - Ami

I was wondering why does Santa wear red clothes... Do you remember, it was a little popular "red underpants"in Japan several years ago...?? Many people believed that red colour underpants makes our body warm, but it was transitory popular. In my opinion, red colour clothes makes human's body warm, and Santa Clause comes from cold country. That's why he chose red colour clothes!! It must be!! Ha ha ha...
What do you think?! Ami

Why can't we fly in the air? - Reiko

Why can't we fly in the air?
Why?? Does anyone know answers?
I've been wondering about this question since when I was a
child. If I could fly like birds, it would be easy to go
back my hometown. It takes a lot of time and costs much to
go back there, ISE. I wish I had wings on my back.
Last Monday, I watched TV and he said, "We have wings on
our back, but they are invisible. In addition, we get
easily tired recently, so the wings are getting heavier.
Therefore, we can't fly. However, remember that we can fly
in the air. I'm sure!!"
I believe.

Osaka dialect - Masa

Hello, I usually talk in Osaka dialect. I write a sentence in Osaka dialect.
My Osaka dialect is Settsu dialect precisely. Therefore, intonation and expression are different from other Osaka dialects. For example, it is Senba words and Kawachi dialect. However, people almost talk same Kansai dialect recently.
Why will not a correct dialect be talked?
Probably the reason is different local person hears other dialect with a television or a radio and it was mixed.
A dialect is sometimes hard to understand for a person from other local places, but I think it is important culture.

Why men don't wear skirts - Haruka

Why men don't wear skirts.
I 've been wondering why mem don't wear skirts. They wear only pants. I'd like to tell you my own theory about it. I think men's legs are not as beautiful as women's. Lots of men have hairy and muscular legs. Skirt doesn't match such wild legs. The image of skirt is elegant. This is why men don't wear skirt. They shouldn't do it.
