† New Calender & Diary!! †

Today is the last day of February!!!

But isn't it still cold?? It snowed in Tokyo yesterday. :-(

It was so cold that I didn't want to go to work...

But I really need money to go shopping and for my club fees...

Anyway, today after I worked about 7 hours at SB, I went to Kinokuniya book store to buy this!!☆★

It's Arashi's Calender for April 2009 to March 2010!!

Two types of calenders are included for 2200 yen.

There are many beautiful pictures of Arashi. :-D

First, a diary type one. But I feel reluctant to use it... It's too beautiful to use!! :-O

Another one is a wall-hanged type.

The photos are taken by Mika Ninagawa.

I personally like Mika Ninagawa too, so I was really looking foward to buy this calender.

I'll decorate it in my room!! :-)

I think I'll have a good year with these calenders!! ;-)

I have work tomorrow too....

I'll go to bed early today... I'm so tired these days.. :-(

Bye for today..

† Russian Cuisine@Shinjyuku †

Today I went to Shinjyuku for my late Valentine's Day.

I first had my hair cut at Ginza in the morning before I went to Shinjyuku.

I met him at 12 at the east exit of the Odakyu Line.

We didn't know what to have for lunch, but he said we should go somewhere besides the usual cuisines (Japanese, Western, Chinese..etc.). So we decided to go to a restaurant which serves Russian dishes.

Have you ever heard a restaurant called "Sungari"??
If my memory is correct, I think this restaurant is often featured on TV because the lunch menu is delicious and reasonable. Actually, we waited for over 10 minutes to enter.

But the lunch was very delicious and the interior of the restaurant was stylish and felt we were in a different atmosphere!! We chatted a lot mainly about our clubs and part time jobs etc. Check the URL for details. :-D http://www.sungari.jp/west/index.htm

After lunch, we moved on to Mitsukoshi and stopped by at a cafe.
I ordered pancakes decorated with berries whipped cream and ice cream. Very large, sweet and tasty!! :-D

We chatted a lot again, mainly about Porno Graffitti!! :-) As a PG fan, I'm very happy that he is getting interested in their music. I lent 5CDs, and a book written by Haruichi.

After having our deserts and lending the CDs and the book.......




It was the time......




For me to give the Valentine chocolate and confess that I liked him for a long time......




?!?!?!?!?!?!(・д・)?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?




Well...... he thanked me and will accept my love.....




But said it's still early to get together and want to think about it........




To decide whether to get together or not, he said we should spend more time going out and being together to know each other further.




I got confused....... Is the answer "Yes" or "No"????? X-(




I thought that the reply meant "Yes".




Well, he's the only one who knows the answer...... ;-(




Hmmm...... Am I the only one who is impatient in such circumstances?????




I'd better take time as much as possible in order to find out the answer.....




But it would be a shame if he said "No" after spending many times together.....I'm just worried about that.... :-(




After this long talk, time flied and it was past 3. He had to go home so we left early and promised to meet again. Though I received an ambiguous reply, I had a valuable time and am happy that I got more chances to spend more time with him even if we won't take the same classes at the 2nd academic year from April.

BTW, can I call this a date, today??? lol

† Valentine's Day †

Did you get any sweets or chocolates??

Well, I didn't..I heard that this year is "Gyaku-Choko".

I don't really think it matters whether who gives chocolate first. :-p

I haven't even made any this year!!

I used to make them and give them to my friends during high school.

Since I went to a girls school, I've never given a chocolate to a boy in my teenage days. :-p




But guess what.....??




The time has come for me to give sweets to someone.....!!! X-D




I haven't given it to him, but we promised to meet next week since we are both busy these days...




I wish my love would come true....♥(･∀･)♥


Oh, I'd better keep this a secret.........!?!?! :-O

It would be sad if my love didn't come true even if I write much right now......

Bye 4 today★☆ See you!! ;-)

† Spring Camp and Valentine Cup †

Hi, how are you doing?? :-D

From February 9th to the 12th, I went to Yamanashi to participate the spring camp of the figure skating club. I joined this club from last month.

I used to skate when I lived in Canada and I wanted to skate again. But that was a long time ago so it's better to say I'm a beginner of skating.

The camp was quite tough for me because this is my first time to join a sports club. But my skating improved thanks to my superiors and compeers advice. All members are so kind and I made new friends. :-D I really enjoyed the spring camp. I've posted some pictures which I took during the spring camp.

(Right side pic. me with 2 Gr.4 superiors and Gr.1 member)

(Left side pic. me with Gr.4 superiors)

(Middle side pic. me with 2Gr.4 superiors, 1 Gr.2 superior, 4 Gr.1 members)

Also, today I went to the "Valentines Cup", the tournament which my superiors competed. For my Gr.4 superiors, this "Valentine Cup" was their retirement tournament, so I cheered with all my might. After the tournament we gave them flowers and said our appreciation. After seeing my superiors's performance, I was moved and felt how wonderful skating is. I felt confident that I want to skate and entry a tournament like my superiors. I really felt that I'm lucky to join this club.

After the tournament, I went to lunch with some of my superiors and friends. Usually on Saturdays, some of our club members go to lunch after our practice at Takadanobaba. I enjoy having lunch with the members because we can become more intimate. :-D

I really enjoyed my week!! Special thanks to AGUFSC members!!!♥♥ I'll do my best at skating and have wonderful memories at this club.

† IEⅢ Class Party †

Today I participated in the IEⅢ Class Party after taking my last exam, English Literature HistoryⅡ. 11 classmates(including me)came to the party!! :-D

We went to Gyuukaku, a Yakiniku restaurant in Machida. You can order various types of meat, vegetables, rice and desert for 2600yen. 90 minutes is given to order anything you like!! :-D It was my first time to go to this restaurant. It was also my first time to have a Tabehoudai(In English, "Eat all you want"??) of Yakiniku so I was surprised because Masayo kept on grilling meat saying "You can't stop grilling at Tabehoudai!!"!! I think I ate too much. I'm still very full. :-p I got bored eating greasy meat too much, so I ordered 3 types of deserts and shared with Masayo even though everyone was still eating meat. lol I even shared deserts in the end too!! I think I prefer Tabehoudai of deserts than main dishes. :-O I also had a glass of red wine as usual..It wasn't so good, it was cheap anyway. ;-(

I had to leave early than the other members.. My hometown is far from Machida.. I also have morning practice for my club tomorrow, so I couldn't stay late and left Machida at 20:50.. I wonder what every one's doing right now.. I'm sure they're still enjoying their second party by now. ;-(

Anyway, I had a good time. Thank you Tomohide for making plans for the party. :-D I hope you'll through a party somewhere near central Tokyo someday or else it's hard for me to come!! ;-( ...But wait, is this the last party?? If so, I don't have to say such request.

† J e N n I f E r †

Watching "Dream Girls" was my first time to listen to Jenifer's song.

I think her voice is very powerful!! :-O

I also saw "Sex and the City" at the theaters.

She is a singer and an actress. Her acting is very good. :-)

Jennifer has released her debut album last year.

I haven't bought it yet.. :-(

I hope for her future success!!★☆

† ☆A v R i L★ †

Avril Lavigne is one of my favorite foriegn artists♥♥

I listened all of her 3 albums and went to her live,

"The Best Damn Tour 2008" at Tokyo Dome with Aoi!! :-D

My favorite album is "Under My Skin" which is Avril's 2nd album.

She is very cute and I like her fashion, very stylish!! :-)

I hope for her future success and hope to go to her live again someday★☆

These are my favorite Avril's songs.

Both songs are from the album, "Under My Skin".

My Happy Ending
