たまには日本語で:)

ブログのタイトル、バイリンガルってなってるのに、最近英語でポストしてたので、久しぶりに日本語で書いてみます。

英語でポストする時は、ほとんど思いついたままを書いてます。
間違った表現を使ってたり、文法がダメダメだったりすると思います。
まだまだ勉強中なので、そこの所は、スルーして下さい。。。。（いや、むしろ間違いがあったら直して下さい（笑））

それはさておき、このブログを始めた時はアメリカにいましたが、今は日本にいます。
日本はほんと暑いです。。。。湿度があるから、余計と暑いです。
アメリカでは乾燥地帯にいたので、気温は日本より高かったんですが、息苦しさが無くて、快適でした。。。。。。日本の夏はホント苦手です。
でも、雨が降った後の、清々しさとか、カエルの鳴き声とか、田んぼの稲の成長とか、色々と、日本独特(?)のものが見れるので、良い所もありますね(^^)
（私は田舎に住んでいるので、家の周りは田んぼがいっぱいです）

私はカエルが大好きなので、お散歩の時とかにカエルが見れたりするのがとっても楽しいです。（たまにサギに食べられてるのみたりしますが。。。（汗））

カエルは好きなんですが、家にはカエルグッズがあまり無いです。本当は欲しいんですが、置物とかだと、結構リアルなのが欲しくて、でも私の周りではあまり見かけないので、買わないというか、買えません（笑）
最近買ったカエルグッズはこれです!!

これは　Stipee　っていう、Book Markです。
透明なんですよ(^^)
私は、英語を勉強してるのですが、単語の勉強が特に苦手で。。。。（おすすめの方法があれば教えて下さい!!）なので、ちょっとでも楽しくしようと思って、覚えて無いページとかにこれを貼って、やる気を出そう!!とか企んでいます。（ちなみに今日現在まだ使ってません。）

私が買ったのはカエルですが、他にも、色々な種類がありました!!
シロクマとか、パンダとか、動物のアソート的なのとか、あとね、ディズニーのキャラクターもありましたよ。なかでも、ティンカーベルのが可愛かったです!!!あ、不思議の国のアリスも良かった!!
もしかしたら文具店とかに行けば、もっと色んな種類があるんじゃないでしょうか!!??

お気に入りが見つかると良いですね〜〜〜。

ではでは、今日はこの辺で　:)

Picnic :)

I went to picnic last Sunday with my family.
It was a hot day, not good for picnic, but we did.

We went to a hill which is located near my house, there are three wind mills and a lot of cows :)
Even though the temperature was not nice, there were nice wind.
We sat under the shadow and ate lunch, and took a nap.

It was nice :)

Hand made :)

I bought a package of hand made kit.
This is a kit for small imitation cake.
(Hmmm, I don't think I can explain well)

Well, I'll put pictures :) So, you can see what I made.
Here are the ingredients.
Two color cray and some beads, and tiny spoon and folk, and some equipments.

First, I made a bottom of the cake. It's looks like a cookie or graham cracker.
Make square shape, then scratch the side with tooth pick.
Then I made a whipping cream.
Hmmm, looks yammy!!
Then, stick bottom part and cream part and decorate the cake with berries.

Here, I made a small berries cake :D

I thought it's hard to make, but actually it isn't.
I'm not good at craft, but I could make it :)
It was so fun, and not take much time. It takes only 40min.

If you can find a craft kit like this, better to try!!!Ça a l'air bon! :)

I found a nice TV show!!!

Have you ever seen a TV show "Tanked" before?
If you never seen it, you should try to watch it!!!

I downloaded the TV show the other day from i-Tunes. (i-Tunes is Awesome!!! I love it!!)
So, I watched it and I really like the show :D

The show is a documentary.
There is a shop create aquarium both for private and public.
The main character is two men. They really love their job.
They are creating amazing fish tanks!!!!
It is fun to watch how the aquarium is making, and good to see their ideas.
Moreover, you can see many kinds of fish in this show :)

If you like creating something, you would like this show.

I don't know what time and which channel broadcast this show, but you can download 1episode from i-Tunes.
If you'd like to download it, go to the i-Tunes store, and click the arrow right next to the "TV shows" (very top of the window)
Then click the "Free TV episode"
You'll see three categories in the window, "featured", "Free Full-Length Episodes" and "Free featurettes".
Of course choose "Full-Length Episode" :D
Then try to find "Tanked" (This is the name of show, the episode name is "Brett Takes a Dive".

Or just search it by name :P this is much easier I guess.

Anyways, I wish you'll like this show :)
(But sometimes they use bad words. sometimes the words are censored. So if you hate to hear those kids, you better not watch it.)

By the way, I watch the show with no subtitle, anyway. :) (I actually don't understand every thing, but most of the story.)

Enjoy the show, and have a good one :D

See ya soon!!

I've been busy (--)

I don't like to say this, but I've been busy.

I try to post something, and actually wrote some drafts.
But the topics that come up in my mind is kida hard to write.
So, I think it is better to keep those drafts.

Anyways, I've been studying for TOEFL.
But it's not easy and hard to keep my motivation.
There are some reasons.
First of all, I can't see my progress on my vocabulary.
Second, it is expensive both taking TOEFL and go to the testing center.
I can chose the testing center, but every testing center is far from my home.
So, I should spend at least $300 or $400 to taking TOEFL.
If I can't get enough grade, I have to take it again and spend same amount of money again.
(If I take the TOEFL twice, I should spend about $800!!!!! It's almost same as round trip to the U.S.!!!!!)

Those are the big reasons why I'm losing my motivation.

Well, I don't think this situation is good.
So, I found a solution for this.
I try to take other exam.
We call the exam "Eiken"
This exam kind of same as TOEFL, but we don't need to write essays.
So I think "Eiken" is easier than TOEFL.

If I have Eiken's second grade or higher, I can find a good job in Japan, like English teacher at private school :D
So, I believe taking Eiken have some benefits on my study and job hunting. :)
In addition, Eiken is not expensive. I can take the exam in my home town.

I already have "Pre second grade", so I will try second grade.
Of course I still study TOEFL :)
So, don't worry I will back to the U.S. and go to the University.
It is my hope, my dream :) I mean it is my first goal.

Well, I wish I will post more often.
I'll try to post something :D

See ya later!!!

playing guitr is so hard!!!!

I've been practicing to play guitar.
It is really really hard!!!
Sometimes my fingers are sore....
This is my progress :P
I wish I could play guitar well. (Maybe I need bigger hands and longer fingers hehe)



I will put video again when my guitar skill is improved :)
I like playing guitar and practicing guitar.
