＊ If you have 250,000 yen to plan a vacation...

If I have 250,000 yen to plan a vacation, I'll supplement the money for the trip to go to America where I said I really want to go. (Please check before post the title "Dream will come true?")
I promised my friends and host family to go back to see them someday. Therefore I want to visit America to meet them and want to visit Mexico if I can. Actually, I am not so interested in famous place where tourists eager to visit. I have another aim, so I think my trip won't cost too much.

＊Dream will come ture?

Recently, I got an email from my friend in America. I had met him when I was in high school. (maybe 3 or 4 years ago.) My city Kisarazu and his city are “sister city”. Therefore I went to America as an ambassador of goodwill of my city. The name of the city is “Oceanside” in California. Actually it was the first time for me to go to foreign country. I really wanted to go to America since when I was a little girl. So I was soooo excited!! During I has stayed there I went to local American high school and I had met him there. His mother is Japanese and he was interested in Japan. So we became very close friend so soon.

However I could not stay there for a long week and I promised him to come back there someday. However it was not so easy to go to America because I was still student. And he also had had a same problem, too. But we have been keeping in touch with each other still now.

Oh! What I really wanted to say is…he said he will come to Japan this fall! His mother said she wants to go to Japan, so he will probably come with her! I can’t believe it!!;)
He will come to Japan!! I can’t wait! haha
And I decided that I will go to America this winter to meet him and other friends!!
My parents don’t disagree this time. Therefore I will surely go to America! Next is my turn.;)
I’m soooooo exciting now!

First of all,,,,,,I have to start looking for a job to make money~~!! lol

＊Happy Birthday dear MEGUMI!

On friday, I and my friends went to amrican style restaurant in yokohama which is called "T.G.I FRIDAY'S"! What is "FRIDAY'S"? It is Restaurant & American bar of energetic American spirit.
It had started in America and has more than 900 chain stores in 60 countries!
In Japan, there are 8 stores in Tokyo and Yokohama. (Shibuya, Shinagawa, Roppongi, Ueno, Machida, Yokosuka, Sakuragicyou, and Yokohama)
I reaaly like this restaurant. The name "FRIDAY'S" of this restaurant means "In here, it's always Friday."!!How wonderful meaning!! ;)
I went to this restaurant to have a small birthday party for my friend!
When we started to ear dinner, I asked the staff to have a birthday surprise for my friend secretly and I told him my friend’s name. Actually it was the first time for us to go out with together, because I and another friend live in far from Yokohama. (It takes about 2 hours to come to school from my house, so I usually spend 4 hours a day for commuting.)
Therefore I was so exciting!! ;)

We were enjoying eating meals and talking. But we ate too fast and my friend (who I tried to surprise) said she wants to eat some dessert!!(OH!!!:( )
I sent an email to another friend who was sitting next to me to stop her ordering dessert indirectly.
And I and my friend were trying to stop her! lol

At last, the bell was ringing in the restaurant and the staff brought a big parfait to my friend. And we and many customers sang a birthday song for her!;)
(Actually I asked some customers who were sitting near our seat to sing a song with us for my friend. I don’t know where they came from, but they answered “SURE!” very readily!! They were sooo nice!!;))
And my friend seemed to be so surprised!!!;) And gave us a hug!!
The surprise party was successful!!;)
We had a really great time!! I will never forget the great time I spent with them.

＊Dear my friend ＊
Keep smiling! I'm always here to cheer you up!

＊One movie I want to see is.....

"The bucket list"

Have you ever seen the spot of commercial of this movie"the bucket list"?
It is called "最高の人生の見つけ方（Saikou no zinnsei no mitsukekata）" in japanese.
When I watched this short commercial, i felt an irresistible impulse to watch it.

Here is some revies.

Oscar worthy: katattack62 from United States

I would recommend this film to anyone and everyone - as it was such a feel-good movie that made you both laugh and cry at the same time - something you don't come across too often. Not only did the audience applaud the movie at the end, but EVERY single viewer who stayed to give comments agreed that the movie was "Excellent"... I can't imagine how often that happens. I'd be surprised if this movie isn't up for some Oscar or another come next year.

The Film is MAJESTIC:hkd379

It is a great movie it's dramatic yet it's funny, it really touches your emotions it lifts you up,and most important it teaches you to appreciate life in another way.Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman both gave us a wonderfully indisputable performance as they have always done.The dialogue written by Justin Zackham is amazing, also the direction is great.Finally this movie deserves to be seen it is one of the best movies ever and those guys who didn't like the film and are really stupid other guys who rate the movie less than 7 well i just don't get it.

A very meaningful movie: deathsentencefanlife-1 from United States

The Bucket List was a very heartwarming movie. I thought that The Bucket List had so much meaning to it. Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson worked so amazing together......It was a very sad story. The story was so good though, having two men dying of cancer and just wanting to live their last few months to the fullest. The two mens last dying wishes are to make a bucket list. What the two men want to do is everything that they never had a chance to and they want to do before they die. It was great acting and had some great messages in it. The direction this movie was going was perfect. It was sort of slow moving in the beginning but then picked up.....I think older people would enjoy it more. It has more meaning for them. I think that old people would understand it more. Although I did enjoy it and I am a teenager. So go see it and have a fun time watching this movie filled with meaning.

Not as good as it could be. Wait for DVD if you NEED TO see it:Michal Poniedzielski from Poland

Script and characters are flat, predictable and plastic. I was surprised only by cheap digital effects viewed innocently in front of my eyes instead of real sightseeing which I was expecting.

Based on these reviews, of corse I want to see this film even more! Because some people say that this film is worth getting Oscar! What I was attracted to this film is it is filled with meaning.I really like watching movie which is very thought provoking. Therefore if this film doesn't have good enough special effects or it's predictable, I believe that it is worth seeing this film! Also some people say it is a great movie about friendship. When I heard so I want to see this film even more again! For me, friendship plays an important part in my life. I've learned it through my experience of living in the dormitory with very nice friends. I think I can learn "something important" from this film. I will check this film and after I post my review of it.;)

＊Do you like diamonds?

Diamond is a symbol of “love”,“happiness” and “wealth”. On the other hand, it makes people to fear, pain, and poverty.

"BLOOD DIAMOND"

This story is set in Sierra Leone, one of the poor countries in Africa. Also it is well-known country for diamond.
Leonardo Dicaprio plays the role of “Archer” who is the smuggler of diamond with the darkness past. Djimon Hounsou played the role of “Solomon” who has to break up with his family by the attack from anti-government group, “RUF”.
“Mardy”, played by Jennifer Connery is going to reveal the real facts of the diamond. One day, Solomon finds a big pink diamond when he is forced to work at a diamond pit.
In this story, some people try to get the diamond with each different aims. And the story goes to the impressive ending......

This is the most thought provoking movie I’ve ever seen. Also this is a movie based on a true story. Therefore there are many important real facts that we should know. You will see some violence scenes in this movie. However you shouldn’t avoid those scenes, because it is real fact, too!!
Nowadays, we see so many jewels which is sold and displayed in the show window. Also, women loves jewels such as Pearl, Sapphire also Diamond. When men propose to a woman they present Diamond. But, do you know where the diamonds come from? And do you know the real facts of diamond? Maybe there are not so many people who know about it. If we know those real facts, we can’t say “I want diamond” anymore. Because, the diamond you are going to buy is “Blood diamond”. This movie will help us to know and understand these real facts.Finally, is this movie heart-warming or heart-breaking movie?....I think it’s up to you. What I really want to say is I’m sure this movie will change your world!
