Self Introduction 4:Pets

I have 2 dogs. One is Ruiji and Another is Charo. Ruiji is a male and he will be 8 years old next November. Charo is a female and I don't know how old she is because she was an abandoned dog. Ruiji doesn't get on with Charo. Everytime he sees Charo, he gets angry and barks. So, Charo hates Ruiji. On the other hand, Charo loves cats. When she finds a cat, she runs in the garden and whisks her tail.

Baskin Robbins

Last Friday, Azusa and I went to Uto City Mall to see Yukari. She works at Baskin Robbins. It was the second time for Azusa and me to go there to see Yukari. We watched Yukari for a while. Then, we ordered 3 kinds of ice cream. I ordered Cream Soda, Rock'n' ball chocolate and bananas'n strawberry. I recommend you to try Cream Soda which is one of the season flavors.

Lunch at Nabeshima

On June 21st, I went to Nabeshima with my friends. Of course, we had Yakiniku there. There are some friends who work at Nabeshima. So, they treated us some special menu. Usually, we have one drink, but one of the friends gave us another glass of orange juice. After the meal, another friend brought us soft cream! We had a good time there!!!

Class Exercise:Time after Time

Time after Time

(Cyndi Lauper/She's so Unusual)

Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you

Caught up in circles, confusion is nothin' new

Flashbacks, warm night, almost left behind

Suitcase of memories, Time after...

Sometimes, you'll picture me, I'm walking too far ahead

You're calling to me, I can't hear what you've said

Then you say go slow, I fall behind

The second hand unwinds

(refrain)

If you're lost, you can look and you will find me

Time after time

If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting

Time after time

After my picture fades, and darkness has turned to gray

Watchin' through windows, you've wondering if I'm OK

Secrets stolen from deep inside

The drum beats out of time

I think the lyrics of this song means that she is remembering her old boy friend and memories. Maybe she wants to return to those days.

Durian & Coconut Candy

Yesterday, Mr. Tomei gave us souvenir from Vietnam. It was a durian and coconut candy. I had ever heard about durian, but I never had durian. So, it was the first time for me to eat durian. At first, I hesitated to eat it because I knew that durian had a powerful smell.

After the class, Nao and I talked about that candy and if we should try or not. Finally, we decided to try it.

The moment I chewed it, I felt strange and wanted to take it out. However, the candy sticked to my teeth and I could not take it out. So, I continued chewing to remove it. Then, gradually, it started tasting coconut and I didn't feel bad. So, I decided to continue to chew it, and finally, I ate it up!

Farewell party

On June 19, I went to the farewell party for USNA students. There were a lot of people there. Some students were wearing their uniforms and they looked so cool! I took some pictures with them. Two of them played the Koto, Japanese instrument. At the end of the party, every students made speech for their host families in Japanese, and it was so great!
After the farewell party, I went to karaoke with them. Some of them were really good at singing Japanese songs. I made some new friends and I had a good time there.
After that, I stayed at Naoko's house and we talked about the party. We were impressed by them.
I would like to see them again!

Salsa dancing

On June 18, I danced salsa with USNA students. That was the first time for me to dance salsa and I was afraid if I could dance salsa. At the dancing stadio, some people taught me how to dance salsa and I practiced it with my friends. After a time, I danced salsa many times with my friends to the accompaniment of music. Dancing partners helped me. Dancing salsa was not easy but it was so exciting! I want to try it again and practice it.
