p.s. i love you

Hi, I watched a movie "p.s. I love you" on Sunday evening in a movie theater with my boyfriend.
It was so nice movie. I saw the story of the heroines in the movie superimposed on her own life. I have a sweetheart, so i fully understood the heroin's feelings. If I lose my sweetheart, may be I lost all will to live. So many letters from her dead husband are all her treasure and encouraging things, I think.

It's so interesting movie, so please watch it with the person you love.

Going to Downtown by Myself

Today I went to school with Michille and Chisato. Today's class was also two classes together, so I went to another class room with my friends. There were Michelle and a old teacher and played some games which was musical chairs and action game and then we played with Maori sticks with singing a Maori song. It was so difficult for me. Yvonne's class was also game with chair and learned I.N.P. It is eye moving and if we learned it, we will be able to see through the person's lie. It was very interesting thing for me.

After the class, I, Haruno, Misora and Mika went to Jungle cafe and had a lunch. Today was free afternoon, so I decided to go downtown by myself. I left Unitec at 1:00pm but I lost my way to train station!! Oh, no! I didn't know where I was. I walked, walked and walked and listened to the train sound. Finally, I found the station. When I arrived there, Sanae was standing, so we talked. After, Junki came and we got a train together and talked many things about school, future dream, studying abroad and part-time job. It was interesting!

BUUUUUUT!!! An accident happened. The signal was break down and the train shopped for about 1 hour. It was long time!! We worried about it and time. 1 hour later, the train began to start finally. When we arrived the staion, we separated each. I went to Queen Street first and looked around some souvenirs for my boyfriend and family. I bought a funny Maori object and Manuka honey's body butter, hand cream and lip cream and thermo cap of can. Then I bought clothing. I bought too much clothing!! I have to make a money when I back home.

I and Ayako met at the "巨泉の OK ギフトショップ" and looked around a shop and then we got a bus and backed home. When I backed home, a letter from my boyfriend came and read it. I got a energy from it!! Then I packed up a little bit and had a dinner. It was lamb and I didn't like the taste because it's baby sheep. After that, I called to my boyfriend and chatted for about 20 min and I felt so happy!! Then I, Nigel, Jeff and Ben went to meet Olivia who went to singing club and then we went to $2 shop. I enjoyed to go with them. They're all funny persons.

Languages

Today's first class was two classes together and we had to interview to Alista who is a vegetarian and Yvonne's boss. Then we learned a Maori song from Yvonne. It was beautiful song and also we sung in Maori language. It was more easier than English because Maori language's pronunciation is similar to Japanese. Yvonne praised our singing in Maori language because our pronunciation of Maori was very good. And Yvonne looks like gulping down her tears because it was a farewell song. It's beautiful. This moved my heart.

After we took a Michelle's class and we talked about traveling. Then we played a game which Michelle gave a capital letter like "e" and we had to write something words starting "e" about country, animal, verb and food and we had to compete the time. It was very difficult for me! After the class, we asked some question about environment to Michelle (also Yvonne) and took a picture with her. We had a lunch on the bench in front of Keiko's office and I ate $6 delicious meal and it was first time to eat it. We talked with Sanae about Boy Scouts because she was a Boy Scout. It was very interesting! I want to have my future children enter the Boy Scouts because it's good experience for children, I think.

After the lunch, we met Japanese BA students and they're learning Japanese in Unitec, so we talked with them in English and Japanese. They're interested in Japan and they love Japanese culture. I was glad to hear that. After that, we wrote some messages for Unitec teachers and I and Yui went to Unitec cafe. We ate a sweet chocolate cake and drunk Macciato. The cake was very nice but I think I have to go on a diet when I back to Japan soon!! We talked about human relations and a type of blood. I thought it's difficult to keep good human relationship.

After I went back home, I and Jeff watched " High School Musical" and it was very interesting. I like the main character girl! She is so cute!! Then I, Jeff, Ben and Nigel had a dinner. I had to make a presentation, so I tried to do that hard. I and Jeff quarreled about a time of dinner. I had an unpleasant experience...

Exciting Day!

Before Michelle's class, I and Michelle held preliminary discussions about congratulations of Ayako's birthday. Then we made a poster of some advice to fellow students about "how to improve your English". After the class, we sung a birthday song for Ayako and I and Haruno went to another class to took back a birthday card but they didn't write it, so we went back our class without the card. Yvonne's class was interview to Joe who is a staff of Unitec. Then we learned "Put in~" and "Take off~".

After the class, we had a lunch at a bench in front of the Mrs. Keiko's office. Then we went to 10 pin bowling. First, we experienced the Laser Strike. We wore a jacket with lamp and had a gun. Then we separated three groups and this is the team.Then we went to other dark and flashing room with cool music!! It was like star wars!! We shoot other team's shining lamp on the body and got the point with hiding behind some walls. It was soooooo funny and exciting!! We all enjoyed it and I want to do it again! It was a very precious and interesting experience.

After my group played a bowling. My team was Miho, Michiru, Haruno and Yui F. I got a nice score for me, 98! I've never gotten like high score because I'm poor at bowling game. So I was glad to see that. After it, I and Haruno vs Misora and Mika played a game in the game center. It was so interesting. After, Everyone gathered and I said" Happy birthday, Ayako!!" and we sung a birthday song for her very loud voice and gave a birthday card to her. She was surprised at it and moved backward shyly. It was so funny. Anyway, she was a lucky girl.

I went back home with Yui. When I went back home, I made a picture of square piece of fancy cardboard for Unitec teacher. I wrote kiwi bird. Then at 6:00 pm, I started to make Okonomiyaki. It took very long time than I'd expected because I had to cook for 6 people and cooked it with wok, not frying pan. So it took 2 hours. Jeff also cooked some Madelaine tasting lemon sugar. We had a dinner together and everyone said " This is yummy, very good Nozomi. Thank you!" So I was glad and felt happy. I don't cook everyday in Japan, so it was good time for me.

After the dinner, we watched a yucky TV program which someone killing some chicken or chick. It was yuck!! I don't wanna see it!

Then Yvonne's class was asking a leading question and I played police man. It was difficult for me. Today I felt the time very long. We had lunch at subway's outside and the "Sub of the day" meat ball was so delicious!! I love it.



In the afternoon, we went to Harbor Bridge walking and we wore a overalls and attached the safety belt. I felt it was so soared!! I didn't wanna go there!! Two Chinese TV reporter and cameraman came and they took us on Video. The Taiwanese reporter was cute and beautiful woman. We were on TV!! It was scared, but I had to climbed second. It was sooooo high and footing was bad. After we climbed the top, we were taken a photo and wave hands to many drivers. The scenery was so beautiful, so I felt better. It was fun!

Then at 6:00 pm, I called my boyfriend and talk about 1 hour. I bought a international telephone card, so I could call for a long hours. I was very happy!! Then I had a dinner and it was meat spaghetti. At 10:00 pm, I called my mother and she was fine. But she worried about me because I didn't call my home.

Date with Haruno

Today, I got up at 8:30 am and it was rain and windy. I had a breakfast and my host mother was cooking Malaysian sweet. It looks like "mochi" and put some nuts and sugar and coconut around it. It was really nice. Jeff made coffee because he learning make coffee. Also he learns the travel agency and hospitality management and he wants to be a hotel man and waiter of the hotel restaurant. His interest are similar to mine, so I felt it's very interesting.

Then we had a small lunch and I went to Unitec gate 4 to meet my friend, Haruno. Her host mother took us to the St. Lucas shopping center and I and Haruno looked around many shops. We went to a cafe and drunk something hot. We chatting and talked about part-time job. She is so funny!! I bought souvenir and I didn't have big bag to take the airplane, so I bought it in "$2 cheap" shop. I found a black big back and it was only $2! I thought I could do good shopping! Then I bought 2 clothing. We went back home at 5:00 pm.

When I got home, Jeff, Olivia and Ben were there and Jeff and Ben played the game on big screen and no lights. I, Jeff and Ben played some games like "Wii" and wrestling with play station 2. It was very funny. After playing it, we had a dinner and it was "norimaki" but there were no raw fish but avocado, carrots and many kinds of food. I tried to eat putting avocado but it was no nice. Putting avocado and chicken on the rice is popular style in NZ, they said. It's very interesting, isn't it? I think maybe most Japanese can't believe that style and very surprised at it. I think no raw fish is no life in Japan!! HAHA:) But most NZ people don't like raw fish. I can't believe it. It was culture shock for me! I'll tell my mother this new style when I back home.

I asked some question of my research to my host parent. They answered very kindly. I have to complete the presentation!! Oh~~~no~~...

Today's plane was goimg to downtown and Parnell. I and Sanae went to the Mt. Albert station with talking about studying abroad or future dream. Today was warm. When we arrived at the train station, the three boys; Katsuya, Junki and Shuhei were sitting on the bench. I and Sanae didn't know how to go to downtown, so we asked them and they told us very kindly. But only one person was like a knower all. HAHA:)

That was first time to got a train, so it was very intersting for me. We fellowed the three boys and we went to the "巨泉の OK ギフトショップ" with them. Then I and Sanae went to a public market in the park and bought some souvenirs and cute photo album. We looked around some clothing shop and met the three boys again. They're very funny boys. I and Sanae looked for cool cafe and had lunch. It was expensive but very delicious. I ate too much!! We talked about part-time job and love. HAAH;)

Then we went to New Market by link bus but it was very far and we didn't find Parnell, so we asked some people how to go there. It took very long time. We found the shop which is our favorite place "Sallie Clough" at last and bought some lovely and beautiful paintings I bought before. I wanted to buy for my family and my boyfriend because I love her paintings. Then we went to chocolate boutique and drunk a hot chocolate. It was very goooood!!:9

We took a link bus again. But...the bus had come a very long way round! I had to go back home by 7:00 pm because my host family go to Malaysian restaurant tonight. Now is 6:00 pm, so we wanted to go downtown soon. At last, we got off the bus and went to the train station which was lighted up. We saw te time table... but... "Oh, no!! The next train is 6:56!! I can't go back home by 7:00!!" I couldn't go the Malaysian restaurant and my host family went there except me.

Squash, Squash, Squaaaash!!!

Today, I went to the school 9:15 am because today's activity was squash. I like sports, so I was looking forward to do that. Unitec has squash rooms, so we separated 4 people each and then played. I was a member of soft-tennis club when I was a junior high school student, so I felt that it likes tennis. I felt it was difficult at the start but practiced many times, I soon got the knack of it. Playing the squash is so fun and interesting for me. I played other friends and it was also fun and good exercises! I suited soon.I could reflesh my body!!

After the squash I got a chocolate chip cookie in the subway and we went to dove cafe to have lunch. It was raining a lot. Today's class was two classes together. We played some games and performed a small play which is "legend of Maui". We practiced three times and presented it. It's funny. The story was like that; A sun passed the sky very fast, so village people couldn't fishing and make a fire, so they're asked Maui who is a special God to make the sun more slowly to move. Then Maui and two brothers made a net to catch the sun and made a rock guard. The sun came next morning and they caught it and Maui said " You are bad sun!" and hit it. The sun said " Why you hit me?!", and Maui said " You passed the sky so quickly, you have to do it more slowly." Then the sun understood. Next morning,the sun passed the sky slowly and village people thanks for the Maui. It was happy story. I played village people.

Next class was Yvonne and we played the number card game. Then we did jazz chart and "Turn on, turn off". After I went back home, I did a homework and had a dinner. It was Malaysian curry. It was good and very different from Japanese curry. I like Japanese curry better then Malaysian. Any way, I love curry!! HAHA:9
