Christmas present!!

 When I was a child, my parents often gave me games as Christmas presents.
I have Super Family Computer and Game Boy and Game Boy Advance and Play Station 2. I liked games^^

So I was very happy when I got these games!!
Those days I played these games with friends when I went home from school.
But recently I don't play these games much;(
I want to play these games occasionally because my parents gave me. So I think that I handle these games carefully:)

Japanese culture!

I like Shogatsu!

Shogatsu is an event that celebrate the new year.

Japanese go to shrine to pray for health of one year.

This is called "Hatsumoude".

And we draw a Omikuji and drink a libation in the shrine.

I like Shogatsu because in shrine open a stall on the street. For example, takoyaki, dango, ikayaki, manju, yakitoumorokosi etc...

When I went to shrine in Shougatsu, I always buy them:)

I 'm looking forward to going shrine next year:D

In Shogatsu we send "Nengajou" to our friends.

Nengajou is New Year's greetings.

I'm happy when it wa send from my friends:)

But recently we send e-mail to our friends as Nengajou.

So I'm little sad ; (

But Shougatu is pleasant event:)

Daily life!!

My schedule isn't so busy

I usually wake up at 6:30 when I have classes. I'm an early riser but sometimes I get up late;< I go to university by bus.
On Mondays, I have three classes.
On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I have two classes! Moreover on Tuesdays I have classes from afternoon. So I can sleep well:)
On Thursday, I have four classes. I'm tired on Thursdays;<
But on Fridays I have no classes!! So I have three straight holidays:) I'm very happy!!
I spend on holidays to do a part-time job and go shopping with friends. So my schedule isn't busy. I live a full life:)

My club activity!!

I belong to three clubs and circles.

I belong to Korean culture studying circle, tennis club and table tennis club.

Korean culture studying circle cooks Korean foods and watches Korean movies etc...
It's very fun!!
When I was a junior high school student, I belonged to table tennis club.

And when I was a high school student, I belonged to tennis club.

So I belong to their clubs.
I like to play sports. Of course, I like to play tennis and table tennis

but I also like to play volleyball and soft ball etc...

But I can't play them well...

I want to play them well more!!

My hometown is Matsue city in Shimane. Matsue city is a countryside but there are many nice places in Matsue city. For example, Matsue castle and and the setting sun from Shinji lake etc...
