Can you guess who he is? lol

Also, when I was shaping potatoes into like this ↑, my mom said that these looks like bombs!!
It meant too big! She advised me to shape them into more flat patties. Therefore I retried to shape them.

At last.....................

★★★I did it★★★

I made a lot, but my family could eat them all~~~!! ( of course, I enjoyed eating,too!)
It was so yummy~~♪

It was the first time for me to make "Potato-Mochi"! But I really enjoyed making and eating them.;) Also I have never used "starch" before, so it was also first time to use it. it was good experience.

I want to make "Potato-Mochi" again! And next time, I want to try stuffing other foods( not only cheese) into potato. If I try making it again, I will post a blog about it.

＊How to go to school♪

I live in Kisarazu, Chiba now. And I go to uni by bus and train. It takes about 2 hours to get school from my house. It means I spend 4 hours a day everyday. It was no so easy of course, but I enjoy my commuting time♪;)

When I am on the bus, if it's sunny day, I can see very beautiful sky like this!;)Can you imagine where the bus is running down? Of course, the bus is running down on the road. lol

BUT....actually the bus is running down the long bridge over the sea. I love seeing this view from the window♪;)And also the bus passes the tunnel under the sea. (do you understand?)I go across the sea by bus everyday!;) haha It is amazing commutation, isn't it? Kisarazu is famous for this bridge and load. Does anybody know the name of this load?
This load is very useful,but ....a little bit expensive! XD

Also, there is one thing about this load. It is useful and many people used this load, but...............nobody come back again....OMG!! COME BAAAACCCCCKKKKK!!

＊Oceanside, CA

I found some videos of Oceanside where I want to go.

The ocean is soooo beautiful, isn't it??

And...second video is a little funny movie.
I will look for much better movie about Oceanside, or I will ask my friends who live there to take video and send it to me~~. Then, I can show you.;)

＊English for kids

You know, in Japan, English will become one of compulsory subject at elementary school from 2010. So, English for children is getting popular recently.

When I was in junior college I belonged to some clubs there. “BTC” is one of clubs I was belonged to. The name “BTC” is “Baby teachers circle”. In this club, we will become baby English teacher. Do you understand? lol

We visit some elementary schools or kinder gardens regularly (once or twice a week) to teach English to kids.

I had taken charge of one class, and I had taught them English. I can’t speak Japanese at all during I have English class. I have to teach English in English, response to children’s questions or reactions in English, explain the rule about game in English and so on…

It is not so easy of course, because I am not mature English teacher, but just student. However for children I am their English teacher. Therefore I tried to do my best.
I’ve studied “English for kids” at junior college, and got a certificate of English teacher.
It is just only for children at elementary school. It means I can teach English only at elementary school. BUT!! It’s enough for me.

I was sooooo impressed by children!! They have unlimited possibilities!!
And I felt that it's up to us whether their unlimited possibilities can improve or not. Therefore,
I want to keep studying about "English for kids", and if I have a chance I want to teach...not teach...enjoy English communication with kids!! (just like volunteer work I had done)

＊ My little brother

Today, I'd like to introduce my little brother to you.:)
He was born when I was in elementary school. He is 11 years old now.
He is so smart, so cute and so friendly!!

Here is some pictures of my little brother!;)

His name is "HAPPY"!!lol I gave him this name when he came to my house. And now, of course he is a member of my family!! I gave this name with a big wish that he can always be happy!!
Also he likes running around of the yard like that! haha
but my yard is not so wide so he run around many times till he get tired.

He likes jumping,too! I and he are always jumping. It seems so crazy, I think!
He doesn't really like sit without movement for a long time. I took this pic when I said him "wait". But he looks so uncomfortable. He wants to run, I guess.
And,,,last is this SHOT!! Look at his face!!
How cute he is!!! I like this pic the best!
Whenever I feel loneliness or get shock for something I always stay with him and speak to him about my problems. He can't do anything of course, but just staying with me can heal my heart. Do you understand?? haha
He is getting old now, but I will be near him everyday to make him happy. I can not live

without him. He is my real brother now and I love him sooooooooo much!!

Who is the person(not only person) for you that you can't live without him or her (or other things)?

＊ 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
