Last blog.



     This is last my blogging. When I started this blog, I didn't know what should I write in this blog. Sometimes I watched my friends blog and study about it. After that, I become to feel fun for blogging! My favorite topics are boringfor you? I'm sorry and Thank you for reading, for everyone. My English is not good, maybe it was difficult to understand what I want to say. However, I was fun, it is true. You know? If I have a time, I want to keep writing. See you soon!

Rihanna and Avril

I talk about my favorite musician, Rihanna and Avril Lavigne.

 Rihannna was born February 20, 1988. She is 23 years old now. Rihanna released her debut studio album "Music of the Sun" in 2005 that is so cool. My favorite song in her music is "Take a bow". Have you ever hear that? I often listen it. "Umbrella"or "Don't Stop the Music" are one of the her hit singles. Recently, I bought her album, "Loud" is sooo cool and sexy! This is true! If you have a time, you have to check it, maybe you will like her! When I listened her song, I was 15 years old. The CD that my old sister bought had her one song, that is "Umbrella".
 My old sister loves music and she often listen English songs, so I was affected by her. Avril Lavigne has many songs that English. When I was 13 or 14, I often listened her songs and it made me strong, so I liked her songs. I still love her songs. If I feel down, I become to want to listen her songs. Avril was born 27 September. She is 27 years old! She looks young. Her first Album called "Let Go", of corse I have. Her fashion is Rock and Punk. However her songs are pure and so beautiful. Sometimes her music use by back music in the movie.

 Music makes us happy, I think.
Your favorite songs become your best medicine!

ceremony of twenty, after that...

I talk about my high school's meeting at Shirasagisou.
 January 3, we had a ceremony of twenty. We wore the Kimono and went AN ADULT CEREMONY. I could meet many friends, there were another middle school's friends too. Sometimes I met a friend who forgot his name. However most people looked happy because we could meet many friends who wanted to meet. I could meet a middle school's teacher too, she taught me English, so I told her that I'm going KGU and learn English and I went to Minnesota last year. She still remember me and looked happy. I was happy too.

 After that, I went to high school's meeting at Shirasagisou, that is what is called Dousoukai ( that meaning is  meeting with people who graduated same school and same age). i did like a manager but I drank, of course. Then we prayed for the man who gone last year, he is a student too.  
 Next we took a picture, maybe there were one hundred people! So many. We ate many foods and drank. The room was too hot. Everybody looked happy and excited. My friend came from Tokyo, very far. Her name is Ayako, we met at elementary school. She looks like a cute girl but she has a character like a old man. haha
 Chiaki is my best friend in high school, she likes basketball. She has a black hair and big eyes! The eyes are so cute, I think, but she doesn't like that color. She always smiley, I like her character too.
 Rika looks like a boy but she is so cool, she likes basketball too, and she is good player too. She always stay with cute girls! haha
 I was happy because I met a lovely friends!! Maybe there isn't like that party after this. So I enjoyed a lot!
I love you!! I love Tamana!!

 Then I did that exam with Marica and Risa, they are my classmate. Risa chose Mexican food restaurant, Marica chose Japanese food restaurant. First, everybody didn't talk about it so Risa started to speak slowly.
She broke the ice and we could speak each other about that topic.
 After that, we talk about our spring vacation plan. I talked about my plan, that is Korean trip! My father's friend, Shinji want to go there but the family don't have a child so they want to go with us. When I heard that, I said "Yes!!" cause I just want to go there! There are many friends who go to Korea, I often hear Korea trip is so cool. Risa talk about Tokyo trip, she will go there for studying! Marica will have a lot of time to wark at part time job, so I want to visit her part time job, Swiss.

 During the KAIGAI-KENSYU, my host family took me many places. I did fishing,rock climbing, KARATE practice, Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, Minnesota Historical Society,Museum and Mill city. Our house is not near the Minneapolis but they often drove a long time and taught me many things. I can't forget that.


 My host father, Pat had a big chance that the new job may visit them. So he always tired but he is kind to his family and me, I had heard that they had a quarrel. Then my host sister worried about me "Are you ok?" but it was not a big problem to me. "My parents often do like that too" I said, she laughed. Now,I remember the days and want to back to these days.
 The first day, Pat wore the T-shirt that rainbow color and I thought "he is American!!" because there is a little people who wear like that T-shirt in Japan, isn't it? However he looks very nice in rainbow! Anyway, that's is good.
 Tammy is so kind mother but she is a teacher in home school. So she often said to me "Ikumi, say "PLEASE PASS THE SUGAR, LET'S!"". She loves her family and her dinner was so delicious!! I eat Mexican food, Minnesota's traditional food, Chinese and so on. Everything is great. I want to eat again...Umm.
 Shannon is a student of university. She had a part time job so she always busy. She want to be a actor, she loves a play! They gave to me her picture that was took at party for graduate. She was very cute! I went Mall of America with her. That time was wonderful.
 I had a lot of time that spend with Katie. She was belong to our program that KAIGAIKENSYU. I was supported by her. She likes Japanese, so she learned Japanese too. We talked about many things, sometimes I asked to her and she answered and sometimes she asked about Japanese culture to me and I answered. I learned many things from her.


 Sean likes games! He often play the game and POKEMON, of course I tried that! When he taught me how to play it, he spoke so fast, then I said "Sean, please tell me one more!". Sean said "OK, sorry:(" It was so funny.
 Kiera likes a princess. Her room is so lovely, there are many stuff that Disney's princess. She often came my room and said "Ikumi, can I open the door?" then she just try to speak, how to ask to the people. I said "OK!" she open the door and showed me her favorite stuff, sometimes I read her favorite book to her and Sean. This is Tammy's plan. She said that that is my reading practice and Kiera and Sean's listening practice.



 Sean and Kiera was young, so I don't want to forget about me. However I can't call them. I miss you guys...I hope I meet you again. No, I visit you again. So please don't forget me. I will send e-mail but sometimes I had a lot of homework, so I can't replay soon, I'm sorry. But I heard, next grade is not many homework, maybe. I hope so. Then I can send e-mail and a letter, yeah!
