Vacation plans

There are two vacation plans. First, I am going to go to a driving school this summer vacation. I don't have a driver's license so I want to have it. If I had the license, I want to drive to Fukuoka. Second, I am going to work as a part time job. Now, I work once a week. My salary is low and I waste my money on useless things. So I don't have a lot of money. If I am free in summer vacation, I want to work in two or more places. I am going to work hard and save much money.

BR 1-14: The Three Little Pigs

I read "The Three Little Pigs". Once upon a time, there were three little pigs Pinky, Percy and Poppy. They lived with their mother in a pretty little house, but the little pigs grew too big. They said "We want homes of our own". So they packed their bags and waved goodbye. "Watch out for the Big Bad Wolf," called mother pig. Pinky pig made a straw house. Percy pig built a house which was made by sticks. Poppy pig made a brick house. The next day, the big bad wolf went to the straw house. The big bad wolf blew the straw house away. Pinky ran as fast as he could to the stick house. The wolf huffed and he puffed until at last he blew the house in. Pinky and Percy ran as fast as they could to the brick house. The wolf was just behind them. "Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in," said the wolf. But the wolf couldn't blow the house away. The three little pigs laughed. So the wolf jumped onto the roof. He slid down the chimney and landed splosh in Poppy's cooking pot. The three little pigs slammed on the lid. And that was the end of the big bad wolf. I am also afraid of the wolf. I want to live in the solid house.

Haagen dazs

I went to kurea with my friend on Wednesday. I went there by her car after the third period. I have gone there two times. When I was a junior high school student, I went there for the first time. Kurea is very big so I was surprised. First, we enjoyed shopping. There are a lot of cloth and they were cheap. I didn't buy cloth because I didn't have a lot of money. I wanted to buy them. After that, we went to the game center. We enjoyed UFO catcher. She caught a Haagen dazs at a hundred yen a time. She is good at catching so she got it cheaper. Then, we played Taiko no tatsujin. I am not good at beating a drum but I like it. Next, we took print club.
We went to downtown after we enjoyed in the kurea. I takes much time because we got lost. We enjoyed shopping in downtown about 2 or 3 hours. We walked a long distance so I was very tired. After that, I ate carbonara. It was very good but the food was high in calories. Also, I ate a cake at nine o'clock. We were talking a lot of things. I had a good time. I want to again.

About blogging

The Nanny Diaries

I feel sympathy for the heroin who can't explain of herself. I can't do so, either. The job seems so hard that she has no time to relax, and in addition, the pay is low. It is natural that she should get angry with the teddy bear built-in a video camera. It is not favorable to watch anything but it depends on the situation. There may be some time when parents have to leave their children with others for a while worrying about their children. When anything happened to the children, the watching camera would be useful. I think it responsible to protect their children. Parents should develop better communication with their children. I think that children should be loved by parents. The more money people have, the more they want. A man's worth lies not so much in what he has as in what he is. The rich are not always happy. The mind is not filled only by material. That is why it is natural that she divorced her husband.

BR 1-13: Goldilocks and the Three Bears

I read "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Goldilocks. She had lovely golden hair and looked as good as gold. Goldilocks wasn't good. She liked to do something naughty every day. Her mother always said,"Don't go into the woods. They're full of bears." That made Goldilocks want to go there even more. She skipped down the path and saw a pretty little cottage. There was a delicious smell coming from inside. She saw three bowls of porridge on the table. She ate it all up. In no time at all, Goldilocks was fast asleep in a bed. As she slept, three bears stomped into the house. Goldilocks woke up. She looked at the three bears, opened her mouth and screamed.Goldilocks ran out of the house. She ran home as fast as she could go. She said,"I'll never, ever be naughty again!"
I also like to do something naughty, but I think that's going too far. It is natural that the bears should get angry with her.

BR 1-12: The Emperor's New Clothes

I read "The Emperor's New Clothes" Once upon a time there was an emperor who loved clothes. The emperor had a problem. The royal procession was in two weeks' time, and he had nothing to wear. there was Boris who had to take care of all the emperor's clothes. Boris spent all day looking for an incredible outfit. Two strangers rushed up to him. "We're the finest clothes makers int the world", they said. When they arrived at the palace, the strangers pushed past the palace footmen and burst into the emperor's room. They said "We make magical clothes! Our clothes can only be seen by clever people." The emperor had them to make the clothes. Word quickly spread through the kingdom that the emperor had ordered some amazing and mysterious new clothes. And the emperor couldn't wait a moment longer to see them. But everyone couldn't see the magic material. On the morning of the royal procession, the emperor went to put on his new clothes. They said"Oh it fits so well" "Then open the palace doors. Let the royal procession begin." said the emperor. The crowd gasped as the emperor emerged. Everyone had heard that only clever people could see his clothes. He thought these are my most successful clothes ever. "Let me see him" cried a small child, who was stuck at the back of the crowd. The child was lifted up on his father's shoulders. "The emperor's got nothing on!" said the child. Everyone around the child fell silent and looked at the emperor again. Soon the whole crowd was chanting. "The emperor's got no clothes on!" The emperor heard their words and shivered. As for the crowds - they were enjoying the best procession ever. Of course Boris wasn't having such a good day. At least one thing turned out as he wanted. People will talk about the emperor for years to come.
this illustration is cute. If I were the emperor, I could notice it. He is so stupid but I like him all the better for his faults.

SID was founded in 2003 by vocalist Mao and bassist Aki. They were quickly joined by two support members, guitarist Shinji and drummer Yuuya.
2006 was a big year for SID. they broke into the Oricon top ten for the first time with their summer single, chapter 1, and they were able to play a one-man at the famous Nippon Budokan live hall.

Another single named, One way was released on 11. November which reached 3rd in the Oricon Charts.
On March 3, 2010, SID release their Single sleep. SID's newest song is "Rain" which is the fifth opening theme for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. On June 2, 2010, SID released their new single Rain which ranked No.1 within the oricon daily ranking for the June 4th and 5th.
