I'm practicing playing guitar :)

Since I set up the guitar strings to my guitar, I play the guitar several times a week :)

Playing a guitar is so fun!!
I wish I could play more often.
I'm practicing "Blackbird" but I cannot see my progress now :P
I should play this song more and play with original :)
(But in this song, the guitar part is so fast to play for me!!!!!!)

I'm gonna try to play other songs :)
Play English songs, so I would learn English too :D
Horay!!!!!

time difference

My sister and I were born in same month and same date but different year.
Because of this, we say "Happy Birthday" same time every year.
However, while I was in the U.S. I could say "Happy Birthday" to my sister the day before my birthday, because of the time difference :)
It was kinda funny, at that time.

Anyways, I want to talk about time difference.
Before I went to the U.S. I never care about time difference.
Yet, after I lived in the U.S. it is kind of a matter.
Because I could not talk with my family often. I actually talked with them twice a month or once a week sometimes.
Then, now I'm in Japan and need speaking practice.
But I cannot.
The time difference makes doing it so hard!!!!

Next, while I chat with my friends in the states, when we greet each other, we care about the time difference.
You may say good night, but I may say have a good day.
This kinda funny to me :)
Cuz I'll go to bed, but I say "have a good day".
Isn't this funny?????

Even though the time difference sometimes sucks, I sometimes enjoy it.

Well, I would say
"Have a wonderful day :)"
to you.
Then, I'll go to bed.
yawn

A package from the U.S.

I got a package from my friend Danielle for my birthday :D
Since it is a birthday gift, I decided to wait to open it until my birthday.

Well, I am going to open it tomorrow night :)
YAY~~~~!!!!!
I am so excited!!!!!!

Actually, the package was already opened by custom officer...... this happens a lot, and I always think, "Sucks" cuz my friends and my family, and also I do not put dangerous stuff or illegal products or something, that not allow to ship, in a package.

Anyways, I can't wait tomorrow night!!!!!
Tomorrow night means early morning in the states, like 5 or 6 am :)

Tomorrow is not only my birthday but also my sister's.
Seriously!!!!
My sister and I were born in same day but different year :P
My sister born 2 years before my birth. hahaha
So, I prepare for her birthday gift.
I'm also excited to give her the gift. I wish she'll like it.
I'm gonna give her a dress :)

Well, tomorrow is gonna be a wonderful day :D
Lalalala~~~~~~♪♪♪♪♪♪

New Game :)

OkiDoki :)
Since I'm teaching English for kids, I've been thinking about fun games for them.
Yeah, of course the game should be related to English study.
Then, I create one :D
I have no idea if the game works for their study or not.
Anyways, I'm gonna tell you my creation. :P

I wish this game will help to build vocabulary.

Okay, here we go.
I need white board and pen, and of course students ;)

I say a word, like "elephant", "book", or "radio" something like that.
Then, students have to draw picture of the word, and also they have to write the word.
If he/she can draw the picture correctly, he/she can get a point.
If he/she can write the word correctly, he/she can get a point.
If he/she can draw and write correctly, he/she can get three points.
If their drawing is not understandable, they have to explain what they draw in English.
Do this several times, using different words, then when finish the game, someone who gets the most points be a winner. :)
May be I need to prepare some prize for this game. When I was in School (ELC, BYU), some teachers gave us candies for prize sometimes. :P yummy~~~~~

Do you like it?????
Is this game sounds fun to you????
I will do this game in next class, in June :D
I'll let you know if they like or they think this game is sucks.
I really wish they'll like it!!!!!

I did it :D

Today, I had a English class for Second grade middle school students :)
The class has only two students.
I did almost same thing as first grade's class.
However, the students in this class are more active than first grade students.
They said they enjoyed my class.
I was so relieved!!!

I was worried about the class. Because last week in the first grade's class, they seemed not enjoy my class.
So, I'm happy now.
I need to prepare enjoyable class for both two classes :)
It's kinda hard, but I enjoy it so far.

I wish all of my students will like English :D

Teaching English is hard!!!!

Today is the first day of middle school students' English Class. "We call this class "Hikari Kai" "
I taught English for three students.
I prepared class, but hard to follow the schedule that I made before the class!!!

In the class, I asked them if they like English.
Guess what? Nobody like English!!!
Then, I asked them if they like to study English.
You know what? Nobody like to study English!!!!
Hahahahahaha.
Today, we introduced ourselves, and I gave them short test, and read their text book out loud.

I'm planning to play some games during the class :) and watch movie little bit.
So we discuss about which movie will we watch. Then we decided to watch "Haunted Mansion."
Yeah, kinda old Disney movie. Edy Murphy role the main character.

Next week, I have middle school students' English class. This class is for second grade students. (today's is for first grade students.)

I actually have busy days recently, cuz I have a job and three English classes!!!
Seriously I'm busy but I love both my job and teaching English :)
Also, I need to study for TOEFL and SAT :( I know I have to work on these more.

I really wish everything going to be well :)
