What Do I Want to Be in the Future?



... Thaaaat's a goood question. To be honest, I really don't know what I want to be in the future.  Before I came to Canada, in the middle school presentation, I said, "I want to be 'a bridge between Japan and other countries' ," so that's kind of why I came to Canada.  I chose Canada because Canadian speaks English, right? lool (Of course, French too!! That makes even cooler!! )  Probably now you have a question such as "Why you didn't choose England, NZ, Australia, the States or any English speaking country? "  Well... it is because before I came to Canada, I read the article (in Japanese) about English, and in the article, "If you wanna learn English, you should go to Canada because Canadian English is very clear and easy to understand for many people."  This article was not wrong, if Canadian didn't speak so fast. LOL   I still think that my choice is right which is coming to Canada, even though, Canadian speaks English super fast. (Especially teenagers... like all my friends XD )  I like Canada because since Canada is a diverse country (I believe), many people are respecting (or look like) other countries' culture, and I feel like I have friends all over the world without going all over the world.  (You know what I mean. )  My dream is not changed yet, but I just have to make it more specific.., but don't know what I can do to be 'a bridge between countries'.  I guess I still have a time to figure out? Hopefully I came up with some great ideas for that! You are always allowed to help me out also :D  Thaat's it for today! Thank you for reading!! Good night :)

FOLLOW ME ON GOOGLE +!! Also, I went to the gym!



I like you to follow me on google + XD I obviously don't know how to use it, but it's nice to have some followers..., right? lool That's all for today! LOOL No... I should talk more than this. Ok, this morning, I went to the gym, and I ran and walked for 30 minutes which was great! I usually don't like running, but I could run because the treadmill had YouTube system. YES, IT IS AMAZING. So basically, the treadmill have the touch screen in the front of my face, and I can google Youtube, and watch my favorite videos while I'm running. It's hard to explain.. it's like.. you have own TV screen front of you, but you can watch online videos instead of TV programs.  Isn't great?! Well for me, it's great since I love watching Youtube. I watched Morning Musume's music videos when I was running. After all, I didn't feel tired, but my face was all red like a tomato or an apple XD  I like to go to the gym again, and get nice body to wear bikini! I know I can wear bikini anytime, but I don't want to wear it since I have chubby tummy... :) I WANT TO BE FIT!!!! Ok, that's it for today.  Thank you for reading, have a nice daaay :)))

I'm Having tooo Much Fun!



In this summer semester, I'm taking a history course! So far, it is interesting because Canadian professor is teaching Asia - Canada history.   I learned the basic Japanese history in my middle school, and I ... I kinda liked my history classes, but I wasn't good at memorizing which meant that my grade for the history class was not THAT great. LOL  (Still .. I tried hard on it tho. ) So in Canadian high school, I really tried to avoid taking Canadian history course because I thought I had to memorize so many new words in English, and probably I would fail the course anyways.  Hooowever, I'm taking a history class now because... well there are two reasons. First, everyone says, "It is a GPA BOOSTER course." I really needed to take that kind of course, since my GPA is very low. (More than 2, but less than 3:( ) You know... I really want to graduate from the Canadian university, and get the degree in Canada.  Second, I'm from Japan (as you know), and I kind of want to know what the history of Japan and Canada is, since I'm staying in Canada for about 4 years. The professor was in Japan for three years to teach English for elementary school students. Yes, he is funny, and I believe he is also good at teaching history because the way he teaches history of Japan is different and more interesting than my history teacher in the middle school, and very different than the textbook!!  Or probably I get a bit older and I understand some of the complexities in Japan, and (I'm not good at it, but ) I'm able to make a connection between the historical problem and recent problem in Japan such as isolation(SAKOKU) and globalization. You know.. before Japan was isolated from the world except they allow some trades between specific countries, but nowadays, Japanese think that they should be more out going, or be able to speak in English because of business or so many reasons behind. So the question is that, how Japanese changed like this? Well it could be ..., I'm gonna stop here because I feel like I can write an essay about this. ( or probably it's too broad.. WHO KNOWS?! LOL )) Anyway, if I have to rate this history professor, for now, he is 5 out of 5. Haha, yes you are right. Rate My Professor is one of my favorite website !

What's Uppp?!?


What is up? = What's up? = How is going? = How are you?

"IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE!!" That was what I thought when I saw the phrase, "What's up?" for the first time.  Also, I couldn't tell what the difference between "year" and "yeah" is. LOL (also "LOL," I had no idea before.) Compare to that, now I can communicate with people in English!! IS IT AMAZING?! Well.. I still can't communicate with a dog or a cat tho, even I can use English and Japanese. Probably, I need to be able to talk more than two languages.... I'm trying but sometimes a dog or a cat doesn't like me anyways, so should I practice the doggy language or ... well since I'm Japanese, I should know how to say, "Hello" for a cat. ...  Hello Kitty is Japanese, right?  ... I know she is so internationally popular. Everyone knows her, and Hello Kitty is loved by young girls. I WISH TO BE LIKE HER. (Of course I like to be liked by many people! ) Sorry, I'm off the topic here, so back to the topic, "What's up?".  My English teacher didn't tell me how to use "What's up?" nor F words.  When I came to Canada, I was actually surprised that so many people were using F words in the SCHOOL (except teachers). When I say F words, I don't mean only F**k; there are many F words such as Freak, Flip, F... F... Fuji! (If you knew Mt. Fuji, you got it.  Also probably you assumed that no one used Fuji as F**k, and you were right, no one used it, which was great!! ) Well I guess that the English teachers in Japan don't teach like this stuff because if I stayed in Japan and never go to school in outside of Japan, I never knew the fact, and I maybe didn't need to know it, since many people thought that Japanese were polite and such. I agree, we are polite... but you also can say that Japanese are not good at being responsible for their own opinion. I always liked to be middle because I didn't wanna make a decision.   You know..? Saying, "I don't know," is easier than anything for me.  I think that's why we use more Twitter which we don't need to put last name and first name, than Facebook.  ANYWAY Japan doesn't have like F words culture, so teachers can't teach that kind of stuff in English, perhaps? Here: First, this is my opinion; second, I mean by Japanese is the majority of Japanese. I'm not talking about ALL Japanese, so if you're Japanese, PLEASE don't take it personally!!  I don't like someone to get hurt or anything.  Wow, this blog was pretty long... but at the beginning of the blog, I was talking about What's up tho... well next time, I'll try to stay on the same topic! XD

I Don't Use Dictionary.



I know. Except, when I'm writing a term paper, I use dictionary to get at least 60% out of 100%; otherwise, I don't use dictionary.  THIS IS A PROBLEM. When I'm reading a book or something, I usually just read through it and try to understand. After I guess all meanings of words that I don't understand,  I can't summarize or explain about the book. Why? Because I'm not fully understanding the book. (OF COURSE.)  I knew it, since I was in Nova Scotia, but I was just lazy to look up each word in dictionary; as a result, my words are so limited. Also I'm kind of "old" now  (compared to four years ago), so it's very difficult to memorize so many ACADEMIC words such as ... any words that scholars use. I'm writing this without looking up words in dictionary, so you can tell how I'm using the same words again and again. Although,  I'm a very slow reader, and reading makes me sleepy...., so I really need more time to read, if I look up each word in dictionary. The good thing is that I like myself, when I'm reading a book because I look like a smart girl. With Glasses? Yes, I AM PERFECT! Haha I think I'm funny. Don't you think so? (probably not. Sorry people.)  Anyways, since I'm writing my blog in English, I should try to use many different words that I learn in the course readings or something!  That makes me super cool. (I believe.)

I LOVE MORNING MUSUME.

Hi, people! I haven't talked about my favorite Japanese "idol" group, Morning Musume. I like to talk about them, since I'm in love with them. (I was obsessed about them before my favorite girl graduates. Well.. I'm still crazy about them tho. LOL) So... where should I start? I met Morning Musume, when I was like 4 or 5 years old. Yes, it's the time when I was super cute. (And you are right, I'm not cute anymore, nor sexy.) I liked them because they were so popular at that time. Everyone knows them, talks about them, and everyone saw them on TV everyday. Hooowever, now we have new "idol" groups such as AKB48 or Momoiro Clover Z, so unfortunately, Morning Musume is not as famous as before.. Okay.. now you guys have a question like "why do you still like them?" Answer is because I met the BEST GIRL EVER ON THE EARTH. Her name is Riho Sayashi. If you know her, you are the BEST too. If you don't know her,, well it's okay. You will be the best after you read my blog.  Anyways, I was watching the audition TV show, and she was there to be a member of Morning Musume. I was actually surprised that she wanted to be a member of Morning Musume because I thought no one wanted to be a member of Morning Musume, since they were not famous anymore. She won the audition, and she became a member of Morning Musume. Riho changes everything (including my life). ... I really wanna keep writing about her, but at the same time, I really have to study.. so... today's blog is done!(sorry :P) I'll talk about her someday!! Thank you for reading! Have a nice day :D

Core University English Workshop


YAAAAAAAY! Core University English workshop is ovvveeer!! Well, actually I really liked the workshop because people in the workshop were super nice, and I enjoyed the way of teaching such as a small group activities or using the textbook that Hong Kong University uses. Also, I liked that there were not only undergraduate students. Graduate students in the workshop were also international students, but their English was like Canadian English. Well, if you know my English, it's nothing like Canadian English.. My English is still Japanesy which can be my COOL identity, so probably it's a good thing. When I, however, need to talk to someone who doesn't understand my English, that makes me just sad because I have to admit my English is not understandable for everyone. .... it's okay... ?? No no no, it's not okay for my future. What if I wanna get a job in Canada..., maybe they won't let me work because of my English...? Wait, or Canada is a nice country, so probably I'll be fine XD Who knows?! I should practice speaking English with perfect grammar and pronunciation. Why I didn't include the accent? Because the most of my friends told me that they liked my accent. Now you want to hear the way I speak in English, right?

Yes, I am Writing Blog in English.

Hi, people. Well.. yes, I decided to write blog in English, since I really wanted to improve my English skill. As you can already tell, my English sucks because English is NOT my first language. .... I'm in Canada for almost four years(?), and I'm an international student. I look like 12 years old (also, I act like 12 years old), but really I'm gonna be 20 in.... two months?! Oh really?! CAAN'T BELIEVE IT. Yes, so I'm a first year university student, and my major is Japa.. no.. no no no, sorry my major is communication! (I am sleepy.) What else should I say here? Don't know how long I'm gonna write this blog... lool Usually, I write my blog in Japanese, and actually it's pretty long. (some people give up to read because it's waaaaaaaaay tooooooooooooooooo looooooooooooooooong. ) Maybe I should write about me. I LOVE TWITTER.  Yea, and Youtube also. There are so many funny Japanese youtubers... I know... I really should study.. (with a serious emoji (also I've never seen a serious face emoji before. Which one could be? )) I think I will NOT (or can't) update my English blog for everyday because... I also have to study, write my Japanese blog, TWEET(like more than 100 tweet I need to post), take some selfies on Snapchat and watch Youtube.. so.. I'm kinda busy, you know? So... tomorrow I actually have a class.. (it's called workshop tho :p) I should go to bed now. Thank you for reading this! See you soon! Good night :)
