Diary

Hello guys. How are you doing?
I'm not bad. But I'm a little bit tired.
Because I was drunk yesterday. It's not hang over. How can I say.... Anyway My body is tired.
I had a BBQ with my home boyds yesterday. That was really fun even it was raining. And after that I swimed at cool pool. I havn't swimed for about 7 month. So that was tough work. Oh! And there was water slider! That was so sweet. But my friends got mad. They went to it with 2 or 3 men. So a watcher of the pool was piss off ha ha.
Anyway all I want to say in this time, That was freaking fun day!!!
See you later.

About other Blog

I think I found good one. The blog is

Foot Bath - introduce a product

.
There are so many pictures so I didn't get bored when I was reading them. And There are a lot of links to you tube or somewhere. Her blog is full of information. Besides she's writing them with many colors. That's so good thing for reader. So I can't just figure out why she is in C class. I think her blog totally deserve A class.

METAL GEAR SOLID4 GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS

Hello. How's it going?
I'm not bad. This time I will show you one of my favorite.
It is MGS4! Dude! This is awesome.
Let me talk about this world.

In the not too distance future......warfare is bases of the global economy. And technology has created new kind of military. Every move and every thought of every soldier can be controlled. War became business. Nobody fight for country or justice or people anymore. And the army are bought and sold. In mgs4 every soldier has nano-machine into their body. And U.S.A. are controlling and watching them with SOP system. SOP mean is sons of the patriots. And a man, Liquid ocelot is trying to get the system, and controll everything.

The main character Solid snake will try to stop him. The connection between Solid snake and Liquid ocelot is so complicated. I can't explain in English. It is hard to say even in English.

As you see this is 4. Of course there are 1 and 2, 3. They are also awesome. However they left so many riddle. Actually producer of mgs thought 3 was last mgs. But a lot of fan asked him like 'tell us about riddle'. So he decided to create 4. But it was so hard work to answer all riddle and create with PS3. The production took 4 years to create mgs4. And finally it came out on 6.12. Mgs4 is on sale at same time in all over the world. That is so amazing thing, isn't it?

Great point in mgs are using a story that similar real society and problem and history.
The story in mgs3 was during cold war in 1961. And Naked snake is the main character and in special unit of U.S.A. He is Solid snake's father. He sneak in Russia to murder his master. Because his master went into exile. After he murdered his master and came back to U.S.A. he knows truth. His master, The boss did not go into exile. That was U.S.A's order to get a money of Russia. So The boss have known that be killed by Naked snake her own deer in the mission. snake And he couldn't understand why the boss did that mission, what was her thinking, what she was doing for. And he hates U.S.A.

And the story in mgs1 was about nuclear warhead in 2005.  Solid snake is the main character. mmm.... this story is freaking hard to explain. So I will do it in another blog. Sorry for that.

I played mgs 1 and 2, 3. So when I finished mgs4, I was so moved. To be honest, In last scene I cried. Because that was... so great and sad and mmm... great!! I respect the people who made mgs4 really. I think any mgs want to tell something player. Every mgs has message to player like what we should leave to next generation, or what is war, what is solder, how hard to tell people or person about your willing or thinking or feeling clearly before you pass away.

This is not just a video game. This is much better than video game and movie and any of like that. That's why a lot of people in all over the world love MGS. I hope you like this and eventually you play this. And I'm sorry for my explain. I think that was not good. Anyway look t this video!!! This is much better to tell how cool and great MGS4 than my explaining ha ha.
See you later guys!!

Writeing essays 1-5 My language history

Hello. How are you doing? I'm so tired. This time I will write about my language history. I can speak two languages English and Japanese. Actually I'm studying French now. However I don't like this class. So I don't speak French.

I really like English now. But when I was a junior high student, I really hate English. Because I couldn't remember wards. That was so hard thing for me. I couldn't remember even short ward like milk. So I had hated English class and English teacher. I was always saying like 'What the heck is going on? There are too many words! This is Japan! I don't have to study English! ' . Mmm.....I was an idiot, huh? I know that.

Until I become 3 years student, I hated English. But I started studying English because I had a test to decide my high school. I had started studying English which like 1 years student do. But It was different at the time. I could remember many words and basic grammar. And my English score went higher.

When I was high school student, I didn't study well. Because I played water polo. It took my all l energy. And a season when I have to decide what I will after I graduate came. I was though 'What I want to do? What I want to study? ' and 'I don't want to study anything except English.' So I decide that I go to a university to study English.

I went to English lounge, When I just entered this college. English lounge is English conversation class. And I was shocked. Because I had no idea what exchange student and older student was saying at English lounge. I was really shocked. English is my favorite subject. And I though I'm good at speaking. So I thought what did I study at high school?. And I realized that was not English. It was only for test. English which study at high school is so useless at speaking.

Studying English at K.G.U. is so fun. Because I did not study like that when I was high school student. All of English class was new and interesting for me. And I kept going to English lounge. There are international student and great older student who studied abroad. Especially Kai yuuitirou, he is so great and know a lot of thing that I don't know. And he was always teaching to other people. So I though it was so great place to get speaking skills. I really wanted to get speaking skills. I leaned so many thing from them. That was not only speaking skills. I could get a foreigner friends. That was really cool and great thing. The friends Rob and Sam are so nice guys. I can definitely say that meeting Rob and Sam and Yui is one of the best thing in life.

And now Of cause I'm keeping go to English lounge and talk with international student. And I go to a dorm where they live to hang out with them. Speaking English is so fun for me. I have changed. I can speak English better than I was fresh man. But it is still not good enough. So I keep studying.

Hello. How's it going? Guys?
I'm pretty fine. mm.... Actually I'm a little bit hungry now. But I'm goood!!

I have a interview test tomorrow. It's in English yo!! However I don't worry about it. Because I speaked in English a lot of times. So I think I can speak at the test.
But I was not good at speaking, when I enterd this college. I was totally suck at speaking.
I coudn't figure out even what's up? and how's it going?. But older student who is Kai Yuuitirou sugested me to go to English lounge and thought me so many thing about English and study abroad. And I went there. I leaned so many thinge from there. And I could get friends who is internatonal students, Rob and Sam. They are so nice. And they beated my fear to speak in English, and thought me how fun to speak in English and how cool is MT. I can definitely say that meeting Rob and Sam and Yui is one of the best thing in life. I'm totally different now, after meeting these guys.

International students went back to their home town last july. I was really really sad at the time.
But I 'm keeping contact with them in internet.
And about mr.Yui . Actualy I don't have to use Mr. with his name. But I want to use that. Because he is big guy for me. He graduated this college last march. I was also sad at the moment. He is working at high school in Kumamoto. So I will go to his apartment with my friends to hang out again in summer vacation. That's the bigest plan in this summer.

In conclusion, Meeting somebady is awesome!!! huh??
So I really really want to study abroad.

About today

Hello. How are you doing?
I am not bad.
Yeah I'm writing about today.
I woke up early in this morning. So I could take a shower and cook my break first. And there was no hurry. I ate a bread so slowly. That was good starting of a day. Usually I wake up so late. So I don't have much time most of morning.
After that I put on a clothes and a shoes. And I got out my house to go to class.
My first class was Japanese history. I really don't like this class. I have hated Japanese history since I was kid. That make me get bored. So That was stress full time.
Second class is much better. It's English class. In the class sometimes I have to make a report and have a presentation in English. That is pretty hard. But you know. It is fun. The teacher is strict with our homework. But I can figure out that it's going to be good for me. In conclusion I like this class.
Third class is so boring for me. I don't know what's going on at the class mostly. I guess that's kind of Japanese grammar. But that sucks. I can't interested in the class.

And.....I am writing this at library now.
That's it. Have a nice day.
