久しぶり！

Hey everyone...

Sorry. I was gone. Recently, I have been working on a paper for my History class. It's about Kamakura Bakufu. I am almost finished, so I can return to talking. I'm sorry!!!!

How is everyone?

Today is Halloween. I wish I could go dress up, but I have to continue writing. Perhaps this weekend I can have a break and sleep...Ok, so until then...

Hope everyone is doing well in class. If you need help on English papers, I just got a job working as an English tutor for elementary students.

Halloween is coming

Hi guys,
Today is Halloween;-)

Trick or Treat!!!

however!!
In Japan, nobody hand out treat X-(
only my teacher(suzanne) hand out it & I have three classes of her
then I get three treats:D

She get the treats from U.S.A.
I love those!!

foreign sweets are very different tast of Japanese;-)
I like both!!

Happy Halloween :D

I'm not sure what to do to celebrate Halloween. I want to hand out candy to trick or treaters but I have a Biology exam the next day, therefore I have to study. *sigh* So what are you all going to do on Halloween? Are you busy on Halloween?


Anyway, I would like to wish you all a happy Halloween.

あたいはカオリ♪♪

みなさんの名前に意味はありますか？？私の名前には特に意味はないみたいなんですけど、カオリという名前は別に嫌いじゃないです。まぁ嫌っても名前は変えられないですしね…。あ！！名前といえば、私のお父さんは整体師なんですけど、そのお店の名前が「とつぼ」って言うんです。で、お父さんに「なんでこんなへんな名前にしたん？？」と聞いたら「なんでやと思う？？ひとつは店の広さが十坪(十＝じゅう＝とう)しかないから。もうひとつは、体には大事なツボが十個あるから」なんですって☆おとうさんのお店の名前には二つの意味があるんですよ！！私の名前には意味はないのに↓↓。みなさんの友達、あるいは身の回りにはどんな名前がありますか？？

maki

今日は、日本語で書きます（＾＾）

今日、がっこうで、自分のなまえについてやったので書きます☆

私の名前は、麻紀（maki）と書きます。
この名前は、「とても幸せに健康に育ちますように」　という意味でつけられました♪♪

１２月２４日に生まれたので、偉武（eve）という名前がつけられた人がいます。
名前の由来とかを知るのは面白いです☆☆

みんなは、名前にどんな意味がありますか？

Chiharu

こんにちは　：）
今日は私の名前について書きます。

chiharu
を漢字では千晴と書きます。
千：これは”たくさん”という意味があります。
晴：これは”晴れ”という意味があります。


日本人はよく”～ちゃん”と呼びます。
たとえば”まきちゃん””ちーちゃん”です。

私の母が生まれたときに
”ちーちゃん”直感的に思ったそうで
CHIから始まる名前で考えたそうです。

また、占い師に聞いたところ、
千晴という名前はわがままに育つそうです。

母は少しぐらいわがままでもいいかな。と
思ったけれど、わがままになりすぎて後悔していると
たまに言います　：D

遅くなってスイマセン↓↓m(__)m

最近乗馬にはまっている大学２年生のマエバシカオリです。馬に乗って広い草原を走るのが私のちょっとした夢です♪♪まだまだ始めたばっかりで落ちないように乗るのがやっとなんですけど、いつか出来ればいいなぁと思ってます☆パソコンの使い方がいまいちよくわからなくて先生を困らせていますが、これから楽しく頑張りますのでみなさんよろしくお願いします♪♪

A Few Updates from Michelle ~

hihi, this is michelle~ i am at home so i can't really type in nihongo.. i could only use the school computers to type in nihongo... that sucks....well, so i guess i'll just do this post in english then.

how's everybody doing?? well i just feel like sharing something we are up to recently. so, tomorrow we are having a japanese test (again). let's cross our fingers together~

japanese learning's been fun, though hard. my problem is that i couldn't remember a lot of verbs that we learnt before. i feel kinda bad whenever i needa say something but couldn't find the words. also, life's been kinda stressful lately, too, with all those schoolwork, part-time job things and stuff. hopefully, i can finally get some sleep soon........ =_=""

o, above is just a fun random picture me and andy tran san took after our nihongo class. he's taking chinese right now so he's like all addicted to the whole chugokugo thing... he even wants a chugoku jin no kanojo~ hahaha. i just think that he's a pretty fast learner. honestly, i am impressed to see how fast he learns the language (although it's kinda weird that he's teaching himself something pretty .... er... funny) still good still good, haha. Tran san, Ganbadekudasai!! o'.'o

i talked to two japanese sensei today and have been thinking a lot. i am looking at the different nihon de ryuugaku programs in the coming summer. sensei tachi are so helpful and they gave me so many choices to choose from. well.. maybe a little too many... now i am like so unsure about which one to pick. *sigh* i'll have to give myself a little more time to learn more about them probably during this or next couple weeks then....... you know, it's very Takai desu yo!

tonight's fun. i finally went to the japanese conversation hour (where japanese people in MSU talk to some Japanese learners here at MSU). it was nice coz i finally got to talk to some Japanese people and practised a bit. then, i went break-dancing. it was REALLY fun coz i did learn something cool. but too bad i kinda twisted my thumb a bit, and it hurts. whatever, i'll still keep it up! you know, it's totemo omoshiroi desu ka ra!

well, i guess i'll just stop here. study break is over, gotta go back to the books again~
talk to everyone again later!

ki-o-tsu-ke-de !
