Plans of this week

I have a lot of things I am looking forward to. In this week, I have 6 holidays because I don't belong to any clubs and I have nothing to do during the school festival. However, I am going to go to Greenland on Thursday with my friends. I have ever been there but I first go there with the members. After coming back to Kumamoto city, Eri, Ayano and I will stay with Megumu and the next day, we will go to the school festival. I didn't go last year, so I decided to go this year at least one day. We also go to the downtown in order to go shopping after that. On next Sunday, we will take part in the Halloween party, so we want costumes for it. Also, I want to buy some clothes because I need more fall and winter clothes. It will be my first time to join a Halloween party, so I am very looking forward to it. Of course I am looking forward to the other plans too.

My favorite elementary school memory

I am going to tell you about my favorite elementary school memory. When I was in the lower grade, I lived in Amakusa. We moved to Kumamoto city about ten years ago. The elementary school where I used to go in Amakusa had only one classes each grade. I liked playing tag, hide-and-seek, jintori game and jumping a long rope with all of my classmates. Also, I had the best friend who was 2 years older than me when I lived there. We always made some imaginary stories and talked about them when we went to school and went home. We lived in the same residential area, so we often were on visiting terms. Playing with my friends, that’s my favorite elementary school memory.

My favorite manga

My favorite manga is ONE PIECE. This manga is for boys but a lot of girls also like it. I am going to introduce the plot of ONE PIECE. The hero’s name of it is Monkey D Luffy. He is from a small village in East Blue. When he was a child, he ate the Gum-Gum fruit which is one of Devil fruits. Since then, his body became elastic like a gum. When he got 16 years old, he put out to sea by himself. Out of the village, there are so many enemies who are stronger than him. However, he became famous soon because he knocked them down wherever he went. Also, he gathers new crews. Luffy and his 9 companions became the Straw Hat Pirates. Their destination is making a round of Grand Line.

My favorite dessert

I am going to tell you about my favorite dessert. I love desserts. I think most of girls love them. My favorite dessert is crème brulee. I especially like the ones whose tops are crisp. They are kind of bitter but sweet and very delicious. I love them. One day, I went to a restaurant that we could eat all we wanted and it served crème brulee. That made me so happy. Of course I ordered it. I ate three or four, I think. I was full but I could eat those stuffs. I don’t know any sweet shops which serve crème brulee, so I need some information about it. I like Japanese sweets such as manju, dango, mochi too. I like azuki!!

My favorite color

My favorite colors are black, white, brown, pink and red. Basically I prefer colors which are suitable for fashion. Depending on a day, I put on different type’s clothes. Sometime I put on feminine clothes, on the other day I put on simple and cool clothes. I would like to be in various styles. That’s why I need a lot of clothes. I don’t have much money, so I always buy inexpensive and fashionable clothes. I usually choose useable colors’ clothes such as black, white, brown, khaki and gray. I like them, but I like pink and red too. When I buy some feminine clothes, I choose pink and red ones. I used to like vivid colors before, but I don’t now. I like pastel colors better.

My favorite star

I am going to tell you about my favorite movie star. I have some favorite movie stars but recently, I like Penelope Cruz. I have ever seen only one movie, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, of movies that she appears. When I saw it, I liked her because she was so sexy, cool and kind of mysterious. I would like to be sexy, cool and mysterious like her. I long for Latin women a little because I feel they look like sexy and mysterious. However, it is just an ideal. I don’t think I can be like a Latin beauty because I am a Japanese girl! Penelope appears Sex and the City2 and Pirates of the Caribbean 4, so I want to see them.

International Cocktail Party

Hello, my name is Sophie. I am from France. I am a director of some dramas and sitcoms. Recently, I made season 3 of the serial sitcom which is very popular in France. The plot is that an ordinary girl who dreams of being a big fashion model works hard in the strict fashion society while being worry about love, work and family. The highlight of this sitcom is the scene of real fashion show in Paris. I'm sure most of the viewers are interested in fashion, so they like this sitcom. That is a work worth doing because I can make them have fun.

I live in Paris with my husband, Napoleon. We have no kids but we have a very lovely poodle whose name is Marie. She is so pretty and gorgeous that she is our treasure. Her color is chocolate brown and she looks like a teddy bear. When I am tired, she comes to me and makes me feel better. Actually, she was a present from Napoleon. He and I really love her.

Napoleon is a police officer and my prince! We first met at a fashion show 3 years ago. I was there for making a sitcom and he was there in order to guard from dubious characters. On the day, a dubious man broke in the backstage and ran amuck. I fell in love with Napoleon who arrested in the act of the man.

I like going shopping and I often go to Louis Vuitton. Napoleon says he want to buy whatever I want for me but I usually buy something by myself. When I go to a clothing store, I always check what the latest fashion is because I made a sitcom about fashion.

What I hate are insects!!! I really really hate them. Why are they so disgusting? I like only lovely stuffs.

Yatsushiro fireworks festival

I am going to tell you about last Saturday. First, I had a make-up class at 2nd period. I went to school by bus. I was so sleepy at that time. After that, I went to Megumu's house and had a lunch. Around 14:00, Megumu and I went to the international dorm and saw our friends. Megumu, Ayano, Yusen, Mira, Clark, Meng-fang, Kim and I went to Suizenji station and got on a train. There were so many people in the train. We was standing till getting off the train. We arrived at Yatsushiro station, then, we moved to a river side. There were a lot of demise. We got together to the other exchange students there. Ayano brought a seat, so we could sit on it. We bought a lot of food, ate them and took a lot of pictures. At 18:00, fireworks began! They were so amazing! We were really excited. It was cold, so we watched the fireworks while being close together.

About yesterday

I am going to tell you about yesterday. I got up around 9:30 last morning and I had a breakfast while watching ONE PIECE. I washed the dishes after that, then, I watched a Japanese movie, Tenshi no koi, with Serena. I was moved to it but it was happy ending, so I was glad. I went to Clare with my family from the afternoon. I wanted a lot of new clothes but I couldn't find things that I liked. I found the shoose that I liked. It was dark brown. However, there was no one of my size. I really wanted it, so I disapointed that I couldn't buy it. I just bought a sweater in Clare. I ate Tappioka. I like going to TSUTAYA, so I spent time there. I also had a dinner at BECK with my family.
