April 28th, 2008

Today, English Lounge finally started again! I joined it on fifth period, but it was just for 30 minutes. I had part-time job as usual today, so I had to leave English Lounge at 5:00pm. However, I had good time in it. I didn't speak too much today, but we played a game. I hope people who came English Lounge had fun today. I'm supposed to work it on fourth period on Wednesday, so I have to make people have fun! I know, it's difficult to do that, but I'll try to do that.

As I said above, I had job today. It started at 6:45pm. Although today was Monday, many customers came my restaurant. Today's job was really hard because there were only 4 members in the hall of restaurant include me. We were hectic today...I think we are exhausted right now.
I pissed off right now because a customer group were still in the restaurant after the close time! They kept us waiting for 45 minutes!! I can't explain about it well... that's it.

I'm going to the dorm tomorrow afternoon to hang out with Korean. And I have to tell about taking picture of pamphlet of Eibeigakka. Sato-sensei told me about this. We need one more Japanese girl and two more foreigners who are man and woman. I do have to tell about this to two of international students as soon as possible, because I do have to tell the member to Sato-sensei no later than 5:00pm on April 30. I don't have enough time to ask about it to foreigners because of tomorrow's the holiday. That's why I have to go to the dorm tomorrow.

I'm hungry right now, and I have to take a shower right now.
See you tomorrow!

The 100th!!

Yea!! This post is the 100th contribution! Tomorrow is going to be really nice day!! or going to be really bad day... whatever!

I have nothing to write right now... Well, I'm going to write about today, I didn't do special.

Today, I got up at 11:00am, and I began to listening to musics immediately till 2:00pm without meal. I often skip breakfast on holiday. I know it's bad for my health, but it's my custom since I was a high school student. I can't wake up in morning on holiday. I want to sleep a lot!!! OK... so at 2:00pm, I ate lunch. I ate up it for 3 minutes, but I was full. After that, I began to listening to music again. I love to listening to music. By the way, what kind of music do you like? Pop? Rock? Hip-hop? R&B? Classic? I like rock, maybe you guys already know I guess. Rock music drives me crazy! Of course I like pop, hip-hop, and R&B, but rock is the best music in the world!

At 4:00pm, I went to YouMe Town in Hikarinomori to buy a book. I couldn't find the book, but I found another good book, so I bought it. It cost 2000yen, but it was only 100yen I paid. Why? Because I used book coupon which I got last year. It was really useful! I want another one!

After I got back home, I began to listening to music again!

What I did today was that I just listened music! But it's OK. I need take a holiday. School starts tomorrow again, and my work starts tomorrow as well. I have to refresh on weekend. I only have to work a lot on weekday. I'm going to go back Beppu next coming weekend. I'm going to take hot spring a lot.

Cooking...?

I found a kind of cooking video on youtube. This is how to make one of most effective something, I guess, I'm not sure though. First of all, check it out!!



How was it? It was amazing and funny video, right? Actually, this is how to make a nice music recipe. This video is one of my favorite video, that's why I introduced. Most of sounds in the video are made by the man's mouth! I can play beatbox a little, but I can't do that.

Going to the dorm

I went to the dorm for four straight days this week. I often go to there just for fun, but in this week, it made me tired.

As you know, I'm tired these days, so I just wanted to get rid of my tiredness at the dorm. However, I was wrong. Going to the dorm makes me more tired because people living there are really energetic!! They often talk a lot, often play games, and often go outside! It's hard for me that I do that with them.

I need take a holiday. I shouldn't go there, but I want to spend time with them. I want to improve my English and Korean skills. I can't improve them by myself, I mean, I need native's help.

I'm tired. Really!

Not good

Every Wednesday, I have mathematics class on fifth period, and today I took the class as usual. BUT, today's class was quit bad, it was just for teacher's self-satisfaction!! He spoke quickly without any confirmations and wrote messy on the blackboard. What is worse, he doesn't tell the aim to us in the class of today! All of teachers have to tell an aim in each class, I think. He just started the class suddenly without any aims, and he kept speaking with not clear explanations...

Anyway, I have to get the grade of the class. I have to keep pace with the class.

I have 5 classes tomorrow, including assistant and foreign language center's class. It's going to tough day tomorrow. But I'm looking forward to taking Jeff's TOEFL class. The class is going to be fun, it's a little bit hard though.

I'm sleepy right now. I'm always sleepy.
See ya!

No title

I'm tired these days as usual. Tell me some good way to get rid of my tiredness...

By the way, I went to the dorm to inform Rob about what day and time we are going to take pictures of the English Lounge. I taught him about it, so we can be taken the picture of English Lounge.
And I have other thing to write. I watched some videos of Human Beatbox in the dorm. They were really amazing! I can't play like that! You should watch it once. You can find some awesome videos on YouTube, if you search by "beatbox". I'm not good at HBB, but I like playing it. During I play it, I can be fine!

OK. see you tomorrow!

The Beginning of This week

Yo, what's up, man! Not much!? OK. that's good!

Today is Monday, so it's the beginning of this week. I have two classes on Monday: International Communication and Introduction to English. But actually, I have three class today, I mean, it is American Affairs class on 2nd period. But I can't get the grade in the class because I'm taking as an assistant. So, instead of getting grade, I can get money!! Yeah! The class is really fun! I can enjoy the work and learn about America again! That's really good, right?hehe
Today's American Affairs class had changed to listening to giving the lecture by the president of University of Incarnate Word from the state of Texas, the US. I really really wanted to listen to it, but I couldn't it unfortunately. I had to help the students who listen the seminar. Maybe I'll ask to my friends how was the lecture of him tomorrow.

I'm glad right now. I had part-time job which starts at 6:45pm today, but it finished at 9:00pm. Today's work was really easy because there were few customers. I can't get much money, but I got time to do something else.

Recently, I'm flipping sleepy during taking any classes, especially afternoon. I'm trying to wake up with coffee, but it doesn't work. I need to take more caffeine...
I have to sleep early though, I can't do that. yeah...that's too bad...

Hey, hey, it's time to watch a music video! Today's video is "Read My Mind" of "The Killers".



I think, you already understood, this video was filmed in Japan. Why Japan? I don't know. But all I can say is that I like this band! This is good song, isn't it? All right, so I'm going to explain about this band briefly.
"The Killers" are a rock band from Las Vegas in the state of Nevada, the US, formed in 2002 and made up of Brandon Flowers (vocals, keyboards), Dave Keuning (guitar, vocals), Mark Stoermer (bass guitar, vocals) and Ronnie Vannucci Jr. (drums, percussion).They got their name from the video for ‘Crystal’, from the band New Order.

That's all today. See you tomorrow! ...maybe

Nothing Special

Hey, you guys! How are you? I'm getting better little by little.
Yesterday, as I said, I had part-time job from 5:00pm. It was hard for me because I worked for six hours. I pissed off a little but I thought it is OK because I can get money! However, I have to go there today as well. Actually, I don't have to go there today, but the owner asked me to work today. I accepted it badly yesterday... that's why I have to go there today, but I'm not going to there using good excuse. I think I will say like "I am so sorry, I have got diarrhea..." This is really good excuse, huh? I need study a lot.

I've got break! I don't have to go there today! I used the excuse, and the owner said, "Oh, that's too bad. OK, you don't have to come today, you should take care of you." He is nice, I was sure he gives me a break. Yeah!!!

By the way, I will attach videos sometimes on this blog. I love listening to music, and also watching PVs. I want to introduce what kinds of musics I often listen, and want you to listen them if you like. Basically, I often listen to rock music, but I sometimes listen to R&B, Hip-Hop, Pop, and so on. Maybe I will up a good video next post.

Umm... I have no idea to write today. So, see you!

April 19th Blog

Hey, guys. How's it going? Is it going good? I hope so. In my case, I'm tired and kinda nervous. Why? Because I had no time to take rests last weekend. I had Freshman camp on the weekend. Ah, I'm not freshman right now, but I took part in the camp as among of organizers.

I had to tell the things of the camp in the weekday, but I couldn't because I was really, really, flipping, and freaking tired. I had to take care of freshman and exchange students who took part in the camp and are from English speaking countries. Yeah, I really enjoyed the camp, but you know, it was hard and tough. I'm not good at taking care of other people. I have to be a person who can take care of people well. But it's really difficult, you know....

However, I had good thing in this weekday. I have just 2 days to work: Monday, and today. I need take a holiday. Actually, I'm tired of working right now because it's not fun, and the salary is not high. I do have to go the shop which I'm working today, but I'm, I'm...

Anyway, I'm really tired right now. I can't get rid of tiredness. Does anybody know good ways to get rid of it? I'm exhausted... I don't want to go to school next week. No, I don't want to go to the school till my tiredness is going to vanish from me perfectly. whatever...

Why am I so negative like this right now? I don't want to be like this!!! Help, help me, please help me... or I'm going to ... no, I shouldn't write about this. yeah, I have to positive. Take it easy, man! hehe

Oh, I have two things to tell to you guys.
On Wednesday this week, I attend Welcome party for new exchange students from Korea, China, Vietnam, America, Australia, and England at the dorm. The party was pretty fun! I took many pictures of the party. And I played Human Beat Box on the party. I was surprised it because it wasn't planned! Suddenly, I and Sasha called, and ordered playing it. I was really nervous because I'm not good at HBB and I don't get used to do something in front of people. But the show with Sasha was good experience in my life! I can play it well on next time if I and he have.
And another thing I have to tell is about BBQ. As you know, I'm not good at writing story, so I'll just tell about it briefly. I went to the dorm yesterday with a friend. And at about 8:40, one of exchange students and one of my senior began BBQ outside of the dorm, and some of exchange students joined the BBQ. Of course, we joined it. we ate delicious meat, mushroom, and potato with them.



And finally, let me introduce the video. The band is "Incubus" again, and the name of this song is "Dig". I love the band! No their music is no life for me! no, just kidding.haha This is the story of love; a dancer discovers the importance of a relationship through the art of dance. But to me, it doesn't matter. I just like the melody. All lyrics are not important for me. People often say like "the lyric of this song is really nice. It moves me." To me, what are you saying? haha You are going to like this band! I'm not sure though.

OK, see you till next post!

Party! Party! Party! (to be continued)

It took such a long time to post the continue. Okay, so he's going to be hangover, I said. And that wa right. I met him on cumpus on lunch break, and he said "Oh, I'm a little bit hangover today." He got drunk the day. I uploaded a video of him, but he did said today, "Hey, Tomoki! What is that video!? When did you take it?" When he got drunk, he can't remember most of things in the day. But he can remember many things when I tell him.

That's all, Iguess. I can't remember what happened the day any more. I'm sorry.

So, my English SUCKS...! I do have to study a lot! Right?
OK, see you.

Party Party Party!

Hey! I'm sleepy right now because it's 1:52am right now.
I had a party today. The party was for one of the exchange students. We went to a German restaurant in Ginzadori, and we drunk beer and ate sausage But I didn't drink beer though because I went to school by scooter today. I can drink beer, but I'm not allowed to drink it. That's why I didn't drink.
Well, the party was really long, about more than three hours! People who attended the party didn't stop talking, and I was so. So I think you can guess, the party was really noisy! But it was fun! hehe
Oh, I gave beer to the birthday man because he loves beer! He drunk a lot of beer today. He's going to be hangover tomorrow.

Sorry, I can't write anymore right now, but this story is going to be continued. Don't worry about that.

안녕! You wanna read this post, right?? OK. oh, I'm not Korean yo!

Hello! How are you? My name is Tomoki N. Tomoki is my first name, so please call me "Tom" or "Tomoki". Nice to meet you. I'm glad that I can stay your house as a member of your family!!

Well, first of all, let me introduce myself. As you know, I'm Tomoki, a Japanese boy. And I'm a freshman at KGU. I'm going to be a sophomore from April, I'm still 18 years old because I was born in March, 1989. My major is English but I'm not good at English yet. Therefore, I'm studying English everyday, and I'm practicing speaking in English with friends whenever I can. I'm sure my English skills are getting better little by little and day by day. Plus, I can stay your house for six weeks, so my English skills are also automatically getting better! It's god, isn't it? Oh, I'm sorry. This is not self-introduction.

Well, I go to KGU but I'm not from Kumamoto. I'm from Beppu, Oita. There are many hot spring spots in Beppu. If you have time, please come there.

My hobbies are playing and watching basketball, listening to music, playing bass guitar, hanging out with friends, and so on. When I was a junior high and high school student, I belonged to a basketball club, I'm not tall though... haha I'm 175cm actually. What is your favorite sport? Basketball? Baseball? Football?

I think, these are enough about me, so let me introduce my family. I have five members in my family: my father, my mother, my elder brother, and my younger brother. My father is an electrical engineer. My mother is a housewife. My elder brother will work at RKK which is a local TV station in Kumamoto from April. My younger brother is a high school student, junior. He will be a senior from April. Is that enough about my family? Oh, I live in Kumamoto with my grand mother and grand father. How many people do you have in your family?

And... I have many questions that I'd like to ask you, but I'd like to ask to you face to face. I'd like to talk to with you!! When I'm staying your house, please feel free to ask to me about anything you would like to know. I'll try to answer. I'll try to talk with you a lot. I know that my English is not good, but please take care of me . I'm really looking forward to seeing you and staying your house!

Take care!

Sincerely,

-Tomoki
