Miss. Universe!

Do you know Miss. Universe contest? According to Wikipedia is “an annual international female beauty contest, and the title for the winner of the contest, founded in 1952 by California clothing company Pacific Mills”.

Last month, this year’s contest is done. This contest is at Mexico City. On this contest, Rachel Smith, who is First Miss U.S.A., had a trouble. This happened was she slipped and fell on her bottom during the during the Miss University evening-gown competition. That time, she was booed by Mexican audience. After that happen, she was booed by people often time when she stayed in Mexico.

I couldn’t understand about it because I think this is not her fault. That is the way it goes.

At this contest, Riyo Mori, who is Miss Japan, got the First Miss. Universe! This is first time that Japanese got first. I was so excited!!

This article also said U.S and Mexico’ s relations worsened, and illegal immigrant.

After I read whole article, I could understand why Mexican booed to Rachel. I was sad about it. She couldn’t do anything about it. They have to think about it. This is not for her, this is government!

I hope she doesn’t think about that Mexican are bad because they were confused about government and Rachel.

In the future, I wish that no more boo in this contest because This Miss. Universe contest is very honorable.

Moved from country to another

I have never been abroad since I was born in Japan before I came to Seattle when I was high school student 3rd grade’s summer vacation. When I came here that time, I was surprised two things; foods and in a class.

What do you think that size of the foods and price. I think the foods are huge size, but they are not expensive. In Japan, sizes are smaller than American, but price is more expensive than American. Many people came to America, they are getting fat…also me too… It’s a little problem for health.

Last thing is a class. When I took a class in here first time, I was so surprised and got a shock. In the class in here, if students have a question, many people did ask the question. In Japan, they don’t ask in the class. Usually, students ask the question before class, after class, or when the school finished. Also, I surprised that students can drink during the class. In my school, it is impossible. If we did it, teachers were said “Don’t drink it!!!” In the class, I was changed my style between Japan and America. I like American style more than Japanese style, so I ask the question.

My friends said “our personality is changed to American style!” I influenced naturally turn to good.

If you said “I didn’t change my personality,” it is impossible. Everybody will a little bit change to different that is turn to good for different culture.

Visited a Place

When I was elementary school student 6th grade, I went to Fukushima, where is the north part of Japan, because I applied to exchange student for just two weeks in winter vacation. This program is just for elementary school student, but only 4th grade to 6th grade’s students. This program is produced by National Nature Children’s House. This program place is different every year.

In summer vacation, Fukushima’s group came to Kagoshima. Then, we stayed together just three days. In the day, we went canoeing together. Most of the people were first time to do it that time. Also, when we went to Fukushima, we stayed together just three days, and we went to skiing!

We went to there not just for fun. We learned a lot of things in there. Do you know “Mr. Hideyo Noguchi”? He studied “Yellow Fever” and “Syphilis” He was died by Yellow Fever when he was studying about it. He is from Fukushima, so we went to a lot of places that relate his life in Fukushima.

Since I backed to Kagoshima, I’ve never been there, so I want to visit there again someday because I got a very big impression from that. I can’t forget about it.
I can’t to do same thing now, so in the future, I want to go many places where relate famous people because I can learn many things from them.

  Yesterday, I went to TODAI, which is in pacific place, to eat lunch with friends.
Have you ever been there? There is Japanese restaurant, and there is buffet!! You can eat as you can!

  I don’t like Sushi because I can’t eat raw fish. When I go to TODAI, I usually eat dessert, so I always getting fat…haha… I always think I have to do diet after I went to TODAI…but I didn’t….too bad…

  Then, we went to star bucks foe talk about Portland!! We didn’t decide about it! BUT!!! We didn’t talk many. We talked just for fun. We stayed in star bucks about 2 hours. We didn’t decide yet!! What we did on it!!However we had a very fun time!

  After we went out from star bucks, we talked about Portland deeply, and some body said… “We should talked about it before we leaved star bucks…we shouldn’t talk about it now…” It was true. Outside was raining and a little bit cold. We talked it about 15 minutes in outside.

Backstreet Boys

I like Backstreet Boys! Do you know this song?

I think many of you guys know this song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdeZhlvHH-Q

Baby, please try to forgive me
Stay here, don’t put out the glow
Hold me now, don’t other if every minute it makes me weaker
You can save me from the man that I’ve become, oh yeah

Looking back on the things I’ve done
I was trying to be someone
I played my part and kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

Sadness is beautiful
Loneliness is tragical
So help me I can’t win this war
Touch me now, don’t bother if every second it makes me weaker
You can save me from the man I’ve become

Looking back on the things I’ve done
I was trying to be someone
I played my part and kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

I’m here with my confession
Got nothing to hide on moreI don’t know where to start
But to show you the shape of my heart

I’m looking back on things I’ve done
I never want to play the same old part
Or keep you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

Looking back on the things I’ve done
I was trying to be someone
I played my part and kept in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of my heart

Looking back on the things I’ve done
I was trying to be someone
I played my part and kept you in the dark
Now let me show you the shape of
Show you the shape of my heart

This song is very difficult to translate to Japanese. When I was tried to translate to Japanese, it was so different meaning, and also so strange meaning!! I couldn’t translate clear meaning…

I thought this song is just for English! I love this song!

If you have a recommend song, please tell me which song is good, and also not good…
