#15 The examination at university

Recently, we are busy with examination. Addittionally, last friday, we were told that the English
communication test was speaking test. We have to prepare for 8 topics, so I decided to work hard for this test.

 By the way, I will go to the university of  Edinburgh for a year to study linguistic  from next september, so I should study more. On last friday, the center of international communication e-mailed me that the university raised the grade to enter the university. I was so nervous about it, but I reconsidered that it would give me the positive effect though it was very hard task. I wanna study social linguistic to communicate with lots kinds of people and learn another teaching style in foreign country to improve japanese student's english speaking ability.

In this year, I will aim at improving my english skill while working at Kizhania, Mcdonald and the community of creating Gakushuin Univeristy.

#12 Are You Mister Lonely?

Mayu

Everyone somehow  performs someone in their life... to make surrounding people happy or to protect themselves because they are too innocent to expose their heart toward society.

I watched the movie called " Mister Lonely" few days ago, and this made me impressed, heartwarming and feel dearness for them.  I felt strong sympathize for characters' sensitive heart and awkward way to live.
This movie was directed by Harmony Korine in 2007, starred by Diego Luna, Samantha Morton, Denis Lavant and focuses on romance between impersonaters.

Michael, who lives as Michael Jackson works in Paris and meets the young woman who lives as Marilyn Monroe. He soon is charmed by her angelic smile and starts to live in Scottish castle with her and many other impersonaters. they live for themselves building their own theater to hold performance show. One day, they could have show but it was failure. Thus, they dissapoints and moreover, Marilyn kills herself. This hit Michael strongly and he decides to turn back to his appartment. Then, he hear her voice says " Never give up!". So he makes up his mind to live as himself...

I encouraged by this movie because they found happiness and true relationship with struggling with their inner hearts though it contains unhappy events in this movie. I really love this simple but beautiful direction. In addition, this movie cannot be fantastic without this music " Mister Lonely" sung by Bobby Vinton!!!!!!
This unforgettable and sorrowful voice and melody must impress you deeply!!

So, I recommend you to watch this movie, I am sure this would make your heart warm!!!!

#14 The university life.

Ｙｕｉ
Some people tends to say that you have a lot of free time during the university student.It is exactly; however I think it may make students misunderstand. In other words, someone think that they can play and do whatever they want before they become adults.

I suppose that the fact is university students can use freely their times. Therefore today I will introduce you  the good way to use your free time；Part-time job！

  

 Some high schools prohibit students to work in Japan, so if you become the university students, all of you can work as a part-time worker. I heard that if you want to do the joba-hunting smoothly, you had better

work at Starbucks, Mcdonald, and Tokyo disnet resort because these three company have accurate educational system and other company recognize it. Therefore, the working experience in these three companies make your job-hunting easier.

For example, at Mcdonald, first you have to study the hospitality, safety and security, and cleanliness. Next, you can choose your position; frontcounter or assembler. If you choose front counter, at first, you have to learn how to clean the floor, and then you can make drinks. Secondly, you can take order from the customer and treat the money. After 2 or 3 months, you can learn how to make potato, or get a complete set and hand the stuffs to the customers.And after you learn all of things, you will be able to be trainer or manager.

# 13 My favorite songs ( the latest)

Mayu

Hello!
I think 60's is filled with revolution and has various faces.
now I am interested in Brigitte Bardot who is famous french singer, actress and model during 50's~70's. She was outstanding sex symbol too, and known as BB ( baby in French) with her initial. I like her cute and unique songs and fashionable apperance. Here is my favorite song, " Comic Strip"!

How cute and a little bit sexy melody, isn't it?
This song was composed by Serge Gainsbourg who was famous french but dirty musician. Though he was dirty, bad drunker, heavy smoker and medicinally poisoned, I think he is cool and attractive artist!

This song always gives me peace of mind and relaxation, the song called " La Madrague". I feel the winds coming through osean whenever I listen to this beautiful song.

 

I like this song too, " Je t'ame moi non plus" with famous 60's icon Jane Birkin. I really like this romantic but nostalgic melody. If I listen to this, I feel like falling love with someone in France!!!!  : P

Finally, I would like to show you so fresh and lovely song, " La Fille de Paille"!!

                                   

I was always listening this song on my way to university, looking up beautiful autumn sky and red leaves!

So, this reminds me of happy days of autumn with smells of fragrance treees.

Did you like them? If so, I'm really glad to hear that!!!!!

#9 My Unforgettable Dream

Mayu

Hi, there! What is an inevitable thing when we are asleep? That is dream.... It is natural that not  all of us  remember what happened in the dream. But dream is really fantastic world, for we can experience remarkable unreality just with resting our body!!Today, I would like to tell you my impressive dream that I ever saw. The story begins in my room at middle night in winter...

I was staring a twinkle little star on winter night lying on bed. At the window, somehow there is no glass, so that  cold breezes was blowing into my room and that deprived me of consciousness... Then I heard a noise.
I looked up and there was a boy with white pajama and he was sitting near the window. "o! Who are you...?" I said, but he never answered, just smiled. At the time, my body started to rise in the air... I could fly!!!! I hold his hand and flew out of the window. We were surely flew on sea and finally reached a clouds. We sit on the clouds and ate it as though it is cotton candy!! I felt impressive happiness and we could be about to touch stars!!!!
But, suddenly, the boy was breathed in toward a brightest star and at the same time, I fell straight into jet-black sea.... " No!! Please don't leave me alone! I feel lonely..!!!" Then, I heard the voice which seems like his said " we'll meet soon or I..."  Unfortunately I can't remember what he said last or I couldn't hear it.

I still wonder what this dream means. Who is he? What did he want to do to me? Yet I felt happy during little trip with him on bed. I'm sure I will meet him in my dream soon!

#8 Make yourself up

Mayu

Hi!!

Do you like make-up?
Hmm? I can hear you say " no, for it's troublesome!"
...No, it's not troublesome, but fan!

I love make-up, because I can be anything I want by just casting spell called " make-up"!!
You can be 50's Pin-up girl, 60's cute girl, or even Michael Jackson by the "spell"!!! haha!

Now, I'm interested in French Pop ( is songs in France in 60's), so I am going to introduce you
How to become 60's inspired girl by make-up! x-)

This is my favourite French pop " Baby love" which is originally from "Baby love" by Supremes!

what a cute and catchy song, isn't it!?

First, apply light tone foundation on your face.

Next, paint brown eye shadow on your eye crease and eyelid to make your eye look bigger and impressive.

After making carving on your eyelid, use black gel eyeliner around your eye ( including bottom of your lashes). If you want, add lower lashes by writing.

Here is my eyes... : P

Then, don't forget to write thick lines and go up on your corner of the eyes.

Next, lift your lashes up with curler and apply mascara. After that, add bolume false lashes.

Finally, apply pink cream cheek on your cheek roundly and use pink lip stick on your mouth!!!
That's it!!
This is my complete look with DOYA gao... :P Though it is blushing but I'll show you x)

In 60's make-up, we should emphasize eyes strongly with thick eyelines and false lashes. So, to keep the balance of entire face, we apply mild color on cheeks and lip.( beige pink is the best).

If you are interested in this make-up, please try and show me xD

I hope you like it!!!

#7 My memory of Kouchi

Mayu
Hi,there!
During summer vacation, I know lots of people went to various gorgeous places such as south islands, Europe, America and Canada.
But, of cource, me too, I went to Kouchi Prefecture to visit the grave... : P
Yes, I had really fantastic time, because my family firstly went to Hiroshima with airplane and went to Ehime with BICYCLE!!!
To ride bicycle looking through Setonaikai was really nice... this kind of ocean is so quiet and peaceful.

this day, we stayed a hotel in Hakata island, and next day, we went to Shikoku with ferryboat. After arriving Ehime prefecture, we watched Imabari catsle. Here is the funny pic of  the catsle with me...lol

mfff... this makes you laugh, doesn't it?

After this, we caught a train and arrived Kouchi prefecture.
The most impressive view was Muroto cape and this little bit harsh but beautiful wide ocean reminded me of  Ryoma Sakamoto's mind... So I sang Japanese Soul music riding on this black rocks... lol

 My trip to Kouchi was nothing but simple one, however I could touch the beautiful nature which heal our tired heart.Look up this heavenly sky!!!!!

By the way, I want to talk about my memory of sky and my grand mother's passing in 2007.

Whenever the hot summer comes to Japan, it always reminds me of  plane for Kouchi. My family and I were on our way to there because my grand mother passed away in the year and we had to attend funeral. It had happened really fast, so I couldn't have believed my favorite grand mother had graduated her life.

At that time, we took airplane and  I saw amazingly beautiful sky above clouds from the window ( that sky was so close to this pic above).Clouds like cotton candy spread under my eyes as though they are grassland in Heaven, and a long straight vapor trail stretched out toward shining sun.

Then, I felt she must go to Heaven like magic land of Oz through this stairway made of vapor trail.

This stairway was prepared just for her!!!

When I imagined that, I felt a little released from the sorrowness.

Above clouds, there is no artificial beauty such as a night view of skycraper in city... It is above clouds that even human who have changed scenes of nature on the Earth couldn't touch at all.

In short, my sad circumstances mixed into that beautiful and sacred sky, so that I feel painful but sweet emotion whenever I get onto airplane for Kouchi in summer.

I hope my grand mother reached Heaven safely through that stairway!

So.... please visit Kouchi prefecture as a trip!! lol
