New year

It's 2009!! Yeah, time passes so fast. I guess, 2009 will pass really quickly like F1 because I'm gonna be junior and gonna be in America. I'm excited about that, but I don't prepare for it yet. What a lazy boy I am. Anyway, the school has begun. I don't wanna go there cuz I had sweet winter break. But I gotta go and study hard, huh? Yeah, I'll try to do it. Have a nice year guys!!

[78 words]

Yeah, dude.

How was your Christmas? I hope you had awesome time. In my case, I didn't do special, but the eve, it was crazy and fun. I don't wanna talk about it cuz I'm kinda sick of typing right now, so sometime I will post about it.

Yeah, dude. It's winter break now! I'm just chilling at home, but I have job from tomorrow to Monday. I heard that although it's really easy, I can get 7500 yen per day so I decided to work. I'm a bit excited now but I'm also nervous. It's because it's the first time to work that. But a few my friends work tomorrow too, it's gonna be okay.

Yesterday, I got the result of TOEFL, and it went up just 7 points, which is kinda good. One of my aims is to get good score on TOEFL, and I could get it. The next stage is to get more higher score than now like +20 points. I know it's freaking hard but I gotta get that cuz I need 550 points to enter regular school in TX.

Sigh, I'm sleepy and a kind of sick. I don't know what's going on my own body and mind. Alright, I just made an aim, which is to get over that sickness. It's gonna be difficult but I believe I can do it. Yeah dude.

Free writing for next essay

Speaking of computer, today, I guess many people use it even if people are very young like elementary school student. It's because computer is really useful. I use PC a lot too. We can learn almost everything using computer, especially via Internet. For example, when I am working with Word, sometimes I don't know how to do something difficult or unfamiliar. However, when I'm in like that situation, I can solve that problem using Internet because there are much information about computer and many people who help me and I can ask about the trouble in the Internet.

Also, Internet is the place where we can learn other languages. For example, now I'm learning English as my major at my university so it's the place where I can learn English, however, there are so many sites that I can't count all of them and are made in English.

I don' care!!

I don't care what you think after watching this music video. But all I can say is I like this band, 'Fall Out Boy', and their songs. I didn't know this band till my friend introduced the video. Then I became a fan of them. To be honest, I don't know about them, and only thing I know about them is that they make people sick! However, I like it (am I insane??). Just watch and listen to the video. I know the PV is kinda crazy, but they don't care literally. I hope you like it!

Free-writing: Basketball Club

When I was in high school and junior high school, I belonged to a basketball club. I was in the roster as a 6th-man in junior high school, and I was in roster as a vice captain and starter in high school. Almost everyday I practiced basketball, and every practice menu was really hard. But they were really good for me too because I could improve my physical and mental. Sometimes I wanted to quit the club but I didn't do that because every time I noticed I love basketball. I don't belong to any basketball club, I sometimes play basketball with my team mates when I go back hometown. I still love basketball, and now I check NBA everyday. Basketball is part of my life. If I didn't meet it when I was in junior high school, I don't love it now. I know basketball is really tough and hard sport, but it's really exciting sport ever!

About a girl.

Finally, I found a music video of 'The Academy Is... '. The song name is 'About A Girl', which is from their new album 'Fast Times At Barrington High'. This song's melody is really nice huh? And the voice of the vocal is really nice, too. So, this song is one of my favorite their song, and this band is one of my favorite bands! I feel kind of same thing as the lyrics, 'Can't breathe when I'm around her', when I'm with hot girl. I guess every man is so. Anyway, I like this song and band, and I hope you like it too!!

Smiles

Smile has a power. Smile make people happy, even though a person who smiles is unhappy. So when people smile to unhappy people, the unhappy people will be happy. Here is a nice line which I just made right now, "No smiles, no life." It's like "no music, no life", but it makes sense, doesn't it?

By the way, my wallpaper of my cellphone is a smile thing. The picture says 'Egao ga ichiban (Smile is the best)'. I think so. Besides, I believe if I always think everything positive, everything is definitely going well for me. And as I let my own light shine, I unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

Smile has a wonderful power to make people happy.

I was a woman....

Last year, in Halloween party in the dorm for exchange students, I became an woman, who name was Tomoko not Tomoki. Actually, it wasn't only me that the person who became a woman. My friend also became a woman, who was named Yoshiko. We bought big boobs in a 100yen shop in downtown, and something good and funny for the party in donkihote in downtown too. And I borrowed some clothes from one of exchange students. Can you imagine that? I was kinda sexy without make-up. I don't know why we decided to be a woman, but as a result, it was fun. However, I don't want to disguise myself as a woman anymore because it's such a silly thing I've ever done even though it was kinda fun... yeah, kinda... not really.

Sucks, but Happy a bit

I have a in-class test tomorrow. And I have to memorize so many sentences for the test. It's too tough, but I did my best to memorize them. But I'm not sure how the test will be going. I think it's going to be tough test, I mean the result is depending on my work.

Usually, I'm supposed to have 4 classes on Friday, but I only have to 2 classes tomorrow. It's because 2 of 4 classes will be canceled. You know what? It means I can go back home so early, and I can have so much time to sleep! Yay! But actually, I will eat yakiniku tomorrow night, so maybe I'm not going back home tomorrow, I'm not sure though...

My favorite Fall activity is... EATING!!!

My favorite activity during Fall is eating! I love eating whole seasons, but during fall I have a big appetite. I mean, my appetite has increased. Maybe it's not only me but also everybody in Japan. It's because fall in Japan is called fall of appetite. I know it's called other name, but to me, fall is for eating!! For example, I get hungry soon everyday, even though right after each meal I'll get hungry soon. So fall is kind of important for me. Speaking of eating, I often eat kimchi these days. I love spicy food, especially Korean food. My favorite Korean food is Jimmiche (I don't know the correct spell and pronunciation), but nobody has it even Korean friends in Japan. That's why I eat kimchi instead of it. But as you know, kimchi is really good!

Anberlin!!

Finally, last week, the new album of Anberlin which is my favorite band was released!! The name of the album is "New Surrender". I don't buy the album yet, but I got it via Internet for free today! Yay!! I just listened to only one song yet, but it was sooo sweet...!! I felt like all songs in this album are sweet. Go to Tower Records, and you can buy it! If it isn't on sale now, wait a few days. I'm sure you are going to be a fan of Anberlin soon!

[93 words]

It's time to listen to this song!

Let's watch the video, first of all!



Did you watch it? How was it? I hope you liked it. The band's name is "Anberlin", and it's formed in the state of Florida, the US, in 2002. This band is kinda new band I guess, and they don't make their debut in Japan yet. That's why my friend who is familiar with western music don't know this band.

I was introduced this band by a "senpai" when I was in high school. And then, I put them into my one of my favorite bands. Oh, the name of the song is "Paperthin Hymn". Wow, the thumbnail is kinda erotic...whatever! Anyway, this song is the best one for the fan of Anberlin.

I'm kind pf nervous right now, because I have big and important test tomorrow. It is interview test in English for study abroad, and I think I'm the one of the first poeple among those who are going to take the test tomorrow.

During going home, I was thinking about the test. I was like "I hope I can speak well.", "Oh my gosh, I'm freaking nervous right now, it's less than last year though...", or "I'm hungry right now, so I do have to eat something!" like this. But suddenly, I thought like "Oh, thank you all for helping me. I'll do my best, and I'm going to pass the exam this year! I'm really really grateful for you all. Thanks!" Do you remember the power of the words? It is "Thank you". Yeah, I suddenly remember that. Then, I felt like good, and I got a confidence.

Thanks for helping me! I'm ready for the test now, and I'll do my best!

That's what you get when you let your heart win!

Hey! I post a video of "Paramore" again! This song is named "That's What You Get". I like Paramore so much! I think you are going to like this band immediately if you watch and listen to the video. I think the vocal, Hayley, is hot. And I think her voice is sounds like Avril Lavigne, right?? But I like better Hayley than Avril because she is same age as us! Yes, she was born in 1988. whatever!
Anyway, I hope you like this band and songs!!

Good Rice!

Yeah, I've got a little bit of rice today! How? All right, I'm going to tell you about it briefly.

Today, I had the job from 6:30pm to 11:00pm. And the restaurant always saves the rest of rice for tomorrow before we close the restaurant. But today, the staff in kitchin made too much rice, so we can't save all of them. And then, the owner said to me, "Hey Nakamura-kun! Do you want some of these??" I said YES quickly. That's why I could get the rice.

The rice is Koshihikari, so the rice is pretty good! Tastes good, and smells good. Yeah, I think so.

Anyway, I'm happy right now. I can have a good meal time with the rice once or twice.
