GW...yeah, did you have fun?

The Golden Week was over yesterday finally... Did you guys have fun?
I didn't do special except the birthday party on Sunday. What did I do during the holidays??
OK, I'll try to remember... So, on Friday, after the school, I went to the dorm as usual, I guess. I can't remember what I did on the night clearly... I must be tired right now...

And on Saturday, I was chilling at home... I didn't do anything special. On Sunday, as I posted before, I went to the party for a friend from Thailand. We went to a Thai restaurant in downtown, and we drunk a lot of alcohol like cocktail, beer, and things like that. Yeah, it was really fun! We spend flipping good time!

On Monday and Tuesday, I had part time job which starts at 17:30. Monday night was quit busy because soooo many customers came the restaurant!! And I pissed off a little because although work was crazy, the owner didn't work so much. He was just standing in the floor. He is kinda crazy! But after the work, we drunk some alcohol, ate some foods, and talked till 1:00am! It was really fun time! I ate so much ice cream and drunk 3 glasses of juice. Oh, I didn't have to pay, so I could eat them up for free!!!!

And I have a few things to tell you guys. Tuesday's work was crazy as well, but it was not busy for me because I was standing on the parking area for about 2 hours and 30 minutes. During the easy work, I met Jeff! He was smoking in front of Lawson by chance. We couldn't talk a lot because I was working and he had to go to his bar. But I spent good time with him, it was really short time though. And yeah! Four of my friends suddenly came the restaurant! I was really surprised, and they were surprised too! I gave them juice for free, and after the meal, I gave ice cream for free. They seemed satisfied. I was glad to see them.

That's all, I guess. What I want to say is that I just wasted the time during the past Golden Week. Actually, I was supposed to go to Beppu, but I couldn't do that. I don't tell the reason twice, so if you guys know the reason, please check my post out!

Living by myself? Maybe yes, maybe no.

Yeah, I started kind of living by myself. Hey, you thought like "what do you mean, 'kind of'?" I mean, I live with my grand parents but I can't rely on them right now. As I said on my post before, my grandma has broken her back bone, and she can't do anything right now. Till this afternoon, my mother was here, but she has gone back home. So I have to make meal, do the washing, and get food. I know it's really hard because I have many classes everyday and have part-time job on weekend and Monday or Tuesday.

Does anybody teach me cooking??

I didn't cook a lot before, so I'm not good at cooking actually. I do have to learn cooking. I have to make supper... I can't make good meal. But I do my best every cooking.

I must get up at 7:00am every morning because I have to dry clothes in the sun before I go to school and I have to make breakfast. I can't take sleep properly from now. I'm going to be tired soon, but I... you know.

MR 1-01 "Shrek"

I've never watched this movie before, but actually, I've watched Shrek 2 before. Yes, it's strange because I watched Shrek 2 before I watch Shrek 1. But maybe it's OK.

All right, so let's begin the Movie Review!

"Once upon a time, there was a lovely princess. But she had an enchantment upon her of a fearful sort which could only be broken by love's first kiss. She was locked away in a castle guarded by a terrible fire-breathing dragon. Many brave knights had attempted to free her from this dreadful prison, but none prevailed. She waited in the dragon's keep in the highest room of the tallest tower for her true love and true love's first kiss..." Shrek read this story. And this princess is the princess, Fiona. Anyway, it doesn't matter right now.


Shrek is an ogre, with green skin, and he is living in a swamp by himself. And he is called big, stupid, ugly ogre by people. He doesn't have any friends. One day, fairy tale things are dumped from their place and forced to go to Shrek's swamp by Lord Farquaad who is the master of Kingdom of Duloc. And at that time, a donkey who can speak and is a super chatter boxer was among those who are dumped from their place. He escaped from followers of the Lord, and then, he met Shrek by chance. Shrek helped him. They became kind of friends, and they went back the swamp. At night, there were freaking many fairy tales things in the swamp, they forced to go to the swamp by the Lord. To Shrek, this makes him freaking annoying. He decided to get them off his land and back where they came from to take back his swamp. So Shrek went to the Duloc with Donkey.

The Lord looks for princess to be king. He used the magic mirror, and he chose princess, Fiona. She was locked away in a castle guarded by a terrible fire-breathing dragon. Therefore, he gathered brave knights to take back the princess instead of his going. Shrek and Donkey were chosen as the rescuer. The Lord promised that he is going to get squatters off Shrek's swamp if Shrek takes the princess from the castle. They went for adventure. They fought against the dragon in the castle, and they rescued the princess. They were going back the Duloc, and on thier return adventure from the castle, Shrek and Fiona fallen in love each other. But she has big secret which she can't tell anyone. Yeah, she changes her appearance at night. She becomes an ogre like Shrek because of an enchantment upon her of a fearful sort which could only be broken by love's first kiss.

Their loves were not rewarded. She married with the Lord, but Shrek who found that she loved him interrupted the wed. Shrek and Fiona got married, and he kissed her with true love. She can't be beautiful lady anymore, but instead of it, she got true love.

Yeah, this movie is really interesting and funny, but this is good movie as well. The themes of this movie are frendship and love, but it's not only them but also its looks. Shrek doesn't have good looks because he is ogre, however, he has really pure heart. Why beautiful princess, Fiona, fallen love? Because he had pure heart. So no one judge people by their looks.

Drinkin', drinkin', and gettin' drunk.

I have a birthday party for an exchange student from Thailand tonight. I'm going to go to the dorm at first, and then, we are going to go to a bar in downtown. And we are going to get drunk there!! I've not been drinking recently, so I'm really glad. Actually, I'm not allowed drinking alcohol in the law, but I drink. Yeah, I'm bad boy. NO. I'm not bad boy, I'm crazy boy though...I guess.

And I have news. One of my senior who graduated KGU in March and is working at Minamata high school as a teacher is in Kumamoto now, and he is also going to come the party! I'm looking forward to seeing him and drinking and talking with him! Tonight is going to be crazy but really good night! I do have to have fun tonight. Why?

Old, but really famous!



Do you know this band? They are "Eagles. They made debut as a country rock band that was formed in Los Angeles in America, 1971. They got worldwide popularity, and they are one of the top bands in America. This song is "Desperade". Actually, this video is old. On April 25-26, 1994, the reunited Eagles perform live at Warner Burbank Studios for an MTV special. But they are still active in the world.
To tell the truth, I didn't know this until recently, but Anthony Keidis from Red Hot Chili Peppers said this was the inspiration for the song "Under The Bridge." This is one of beautiful and touching songs, huh?. Definitely one of my favorites.

(118 words - except lyrics)

These are the lyrics of this song.

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
You've been out riding fences
For so long now
Oh you're a hard one
And I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasing you
Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the Queen of Diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
Another Queen of Hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can get

Desperado, you ain't getting no younger
You're pain and your hunger
They're driving you home
And freedom, oh freedom
Well, that's just some people talking
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losing all your highs and lows
And funny how the feeling goes away

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
Come down from your fences
Open the day, it may be raining
But there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you
You better let somebody love you
Before it's too late

BR 1-01: Frog and Toad All Year


Today, I read "Frog and Toad All Year". This book is for children, so this is easy to read but this is good for review, I think.

There are two main characters in this book. They are Frog and Toad. As you can guess from the name, they are frog. They are always with each other like brother, but they don't live together. This book is written about their life in 4 seasons with 5 stories.

One hot summer day, they sat by a pond. And Frog wanted to eat some sweet and cold ice cream. Toad went to a store, and he bought two big ice-cream cones. Frog likes chocolate best, and so does he. When Toad was walking along the path, a large, soft drop of chocolate ice cream slipped down his arm. The ice cream is melting in the sun. Toad walked faster, he had to hurry back to Frog. However, more and more of ice cream was melting. It dripped down on his jacket, it splattered on his pants and his feet. He can't see anything because of the melted ice cream, so he cannot see the path.

Frog still sat by the pond and was waiting for Toad. Then a mouse ran by him, and the mouse told Frog that I just saw something awful, it was big brown. Then a squirrel told Frog that something covered with sticks and leaves is moving this way. And then, a rabbit told Ftog that here comes a thing with horns. Frog couldn't guess what is that. Frog hid behind a rock, and he saw the thing coming. It was the thing what they said to Frog. Frog realized it is Toad. Toad fell into the pond, and he sank to the bottom, and came up again. He washed away all of their ice cream.

Frog knows what they can do. They ran back to the store quickly. And then, they sat in the shade of a tree and ate their chocolate ice-cream cones together.
As I said above, this is easy to read but is really good to read. I have to take care of my friends like them. I don't have to be like them, but I should do that as they do.

What a hell is that!!??

Day before yesterday, my grandma broke her bone of the small of the back at about 3:00pm at home. I didn't know that till when I got up the day. I was really surprised!! I didn't figure out what should I do at that time. I mean, I upset.

She made me make lunch, so I made lunch for her, grandpa, and me. I don't cook usually, but I can cook actually. They satisfied the meal which I made.

I had to go to the dorm in order to tell about taking picture of the pamphlet of Eibei Gakka to 2 of exchange students on the day. Yeah, I went to there to do that.
But I had to go home soon because of grandma and my job.

When I came back home, my mom was there surprisingly. She came here to take care of grandma by herself. I don't know when she is going to go back Beppu, but all I can say is that she is still here and she is very helpful. I wrote that I'm going to go back home on the Golden Week, but maybe I can't do that unfortunately. I'm going to help her during Golden Week.

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.
