UNO!



Hello, everyone. How are you doing?
T
oday... I had such a bad day..

*sigh*

..Whatever.

So, for today's entry, I'm gonna talk about UNO!
I'm sure you guys know UNO, it is a card game.

I and my boyfiend just bought it together last week.
Why UNO? ...I don't know! lol.


When we are at home, we sometimes get bored because there is nothing to do, so we thought we need to get something that make our free time fun. So we went to convenience store and got it for a thousand yen! yay! Since we bought it, we are just playing a game over and over, because it is so fun! yeah it IS! Even there are two people, my boyfriend and me, it can be a fun game! haha. I'm not telling you what is making our game so fun though.



If you feel tired of studying, that means you NEED to have some fun! ..I believe, lol. So, to have some fun, you should invite your friends over and play UNO! lol It would be so fun:) And you know, if you wanna play UNO, you can always come over my house and yeah have fun together! haha.



Okay so, we are still looking for some fun stuff, so please tell me if you have any good idea for us:)



That's all for today.
Thank you*

Fireworks*


Hello. How are you guys?:)



June is almost over and you know what, SUMMER IS COMIN'! YEAH! haha. So speaking of summer, I'd like to go to the sea a lot and I am really looking forward to seeing or doing fireworks. woohoo! I know everyone likes to see fireworks, so today I'd like to show you where you should go to see beautiful fireworks.



Okay, look at this website.
As you can see, this is written in Japanese and I don't know if there are any this kind of English website so I'm sorry about that. So this is a website called Calender of fireworks in 2007. Sounds good, does'n it? haha.

Basically you click on somewhere you want to see, either on the map or names of area bellow the map, and then... there you go, you can see some information that would be held as a festival in this summer. On the left, you can see names of prefectures so you can choose anywhere you want to go and see, it will give you some infomations. Also you can search by a month, like if you want to know about August, then click on the calender bellow the name of prefectures. It gives you that date, the name of festivals, and scale. Also if you click on the name of any festivals, it also gives you that some introductions and place. You might see a picture of fireworks, too.


So If you are interested in those event, you should check it on this website and you know, invite some friends or your partner to go with, and go see those beautiful sweet fireworks together! :)

I really recommend you to go some of those festivals, it should be really fun! I go to see fireworks every year at least once, I really like to watch. So I'm thinking that I will go to see as many as I can this year.

Have fun in your summer!


Thank you:)

Baby Hatch*

Today I'd like to talk about Baby Hatch. This is kind of becoming a big problem in Japan in these days. I think this issue is relating to everyone because even they are babies - they are human, living in the same world. I was sort of interested in or caring about this issue since I have heard about this, so today I'd like to think about it.



This is a letter written by person who disagree with Baby Hatch.


The author is saying that Baby Hatch is not the answer. It says that the author has worked with children and families for twenty years, and also now works with developmentally disabled adults who have sad, unwanted experienences, like actually abandoned from their parents. So the author is saying that the author knows or can think more about this issue than others because he/she learned by working with those people. Then, the author is emphasizing that even if there are any system such as Baby Hatch, people will not stop abandoning children, they will still contenue to do it.



And This is an another letter written by person who agree with Baby Hatch.

The author is using the example of event actually happened before, about the junior high school student abandoned their baby - because they were full of fear and had no choise but abandon. So the author thinks if there are some facilities such as Baby Hatch at that time, then that baby might not be abandoned. By this example, the author says that if there are those facilities, Baby Hatch, at least giving those people a choice, that not to abandon and babies will be saved instead of dying.



My opinion -

Basically,
I think this is a good idea.

I am not saying that it is a good thing that people didn't abandon babies but put them away to the place like Baby Hatch. I believe children should definitly be loved by their parents and should not be abandoned. Parents should think about it more seriously, children are not their things. They should have a heavy resposibility. Just I can't believe that what they do, but they might have their own problem, and it should be seriously big problem.

However, IF parents had a serious problem with something and they would not be able to have children anymore, they should use this Baby Hatch, because it is much better than just abandon them on somewhere dangerous.

Children are not things, they are alive.
This Baby Hatch might not be the best, but still it is saving their lives.


Thank you.

I love Canada<3


Today I'd like to show you some things about Canada.

When I was in H.S., I went there for a year to study English.

So this picture you can see on the left is the nothern lights as you know. This is not what I took when I was there, I just found from google, but I actually saw this kind of nothern lights and it was really beautiful. We can see those in winter I believe, the winter in Canada is REALLY cold. I don't know if we can see those lights everywhere in Canada, but in Saskatchewan, where I was, I could see quite a few times. If you are interested in those nice view, you should visit Canada! I'm pretty sure that you will like it.


So many young people in Canada are using this website to communicate with people. This website is called Nexopia, which is like you can have own page to introduce yourself. You can put your pictures on, write your commenmts or send messages to other people. You can have many friends from this website because people from many country are joining here. You should see what it is like, and I hope you can have fun on this website as well.


In Canada, my favorite TV show is Canadian Idol.
Some of you guys know or have seen the American Idol, this is kind of like that except it is Canadian. I really loved this TV show and I was watching every weeks. This TV show is like an audition which people who want to be singers can join and the audience, Canadian people, vote for the person who they like. I'm pretty sure that you can have fun on this show and you can see some of them on You tube.



So I'd like to show you one of them. This was my favorite singer who joined the Canadian Idol maybe last year, her name is Melissa O'neil. She is really good singer.

Watch this:




Thank you<3
