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.

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

Power Point for Presentation!
Last Wednesday, I had a final presentation in Speaking/Listening/Grammar 4/5 class.
I presented about cell phone between Japan and America, but I don’t tell you guys about what I talked in this presentation…It is secret!
Have you ever used the Power Point for any presentation? I did use first time on this presentation. Usually I didn’t use Power Point for any presentation because I couldn’t use it, but I asked many friends. Everybody said “ I will use Power Point!” I was shocked!! Because almost all of them didn’t use it for presentation in Speaking/Listening/Grammar 4/5 class!! However, I watched that my friend made the Power Point, so I remembered how to use Power Point and how to make it!
It was so easy and so useful! I couldn’t believe that I have never use the Power Point for any presentation!! I was so shocked!! I decided that I will use Power Point for any Presentation!!
When I made Power Point for presentation, I was so tired because it was first time to make the Power Point! But I did it!!so you can do it easily! I’m sure…

“I don’t want to do ….......”
My mother, my cousin, and my aunt told to her

When I heard that first time, I was so surprised!!She answered to them…
“ NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!”
They were laughed…

My cousin always said
“ You should so homework if you don’t want to be like Juri!”

Expensive!!!
Hey guys! How is your weekend?
I lived alone just this weekend because my host family went other city, but I don’t know where they going…
Last Thursday, I went to eye doctor to take an eye test because I felled eye test for driving license… I thought the eye test is not expensive because it is not expensive in Japan. I was so surprised when I paid. The cost was 120 dollars!! I couldn’t believe it. But it’s OK!
And then, the eye doctor is Japanese! I found on the internet. But there is little far from here because there is in Lynnwood!! I was so tired…but I couldn’t find other Japanese eye doctor in downtown or near the school.
By the way, Do you know Beyonce’s song “ Listen”? If you don’t know, you should try it! She song in DREAM GIRLS. She is so beautiful!!! May be you can watch the video from this address. If you have a free time, please watch it. Listen’s lyric is not difficult, so I think we can understand easily! Because I could understand this song!

This is the Listen’s lyric
↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
Listen, to the song here in my heart.
A melody I’ve start.
But can’t complete.
Listen, to the sound from deep within.
It’s only beginning.
To find release.
Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard.
They will not be pushed aside and turned.
Into your own all cause you won’t Listen…
[Chorus]
Listen, I am alone at a crossroads.
I’m not at home, in my own home.
And I tried ad tried.
To say whats on my mind.
You should have known.
Oh,Now I’m done believin you.
You don’t know what I’m feelin.
I’m more then what, you made of me.
I followed the voice you gave to me.
But now I gotta find, my own..
You should have listened.
There is someone here inside.
Someone I’d thought had died
Sooo long ago.
Ohh, I’m free now and my dreams to be heard.
They will not be pushed side on words.
Into your arms.
All cause you won’t Listen…
[Chorus]
I don’t know where I belong.
But I’ll be movin on.
If you don’t…
If you won’t…
LISTEN!!!...
To the song here in my heart.
A melody I’ve start．
But I will complete.
Oh,Now I’m done believing you.
You don’t know that I’m feelin.
I’m more than what, you made of me.
I followed the voice, you think you gave to me.
But now I gotta find, my own..
My own…
What do you think about this song??
