When shared, joy is doubled and sorrow halved

☆☆☆成人式☆☆☆
　起床は４a.m. →着付け＆メイクに約２時間です。美容師さんは、朝の数時間でざっと６or７人さばいてました。なんと貫徹とのことで....お疲れ様です。総額は....O万２０００円なり。男の子は、男の子というだけで、もはや親孝行だと思います。でも、でも!?着物着た思い出は、プライスレス(笑)ちなみに、着物は赤。帯は、巾着結び。自分では、見えなかったけど、袋みたいになってたらしいです。前撮りの時は、髪はアップだったので、今回は横にふわふわ(?)こじゃれた感じにしてもらいました。魔法のパウダーとやらの力で髪の毛は、キラッキラ(笑)☆面白い!!!
　父の車で、会場へ。父は１日、私のアッシーになって頂きました。お父さん、お母さん金銭的に時間的に、もう～、もろもろ、すみません＆ありがとう。成人とは思えない甘えっぷりの１日でしたね。式自体は、わずか、３０分。短っ!でも、お楽しみは、友達に会うことだよね～♪中学校の友達、高校の友達、懐かしい顔のオンパレード♪みんな可愛い～、綺麗～♪いや～、私がどきどきしてしまう。みんながみんな艶やかすぎて、ちょっとやそっとのことじゃ目立たないもんね。髪の毛、真っ赤にするくらいの気合がないと。
　そして、そして、クラス会。クラス合同で飲み会でした。だいたい50人くらい集まってたのかな。いや～、あの子がタバコ吸ってるょ!?この子がこんなにおっきくなっちゃってるょ!?という感じで、みんな劇・的・変・貌。目の保養になりました。
　成人式、行っても行かなくても、どっちでも良いかな的なスタンスだったけど、行って良かった!!テンション上がりまくりの1日でした。とうことで、日記もカラフルにしてみました。

Today, it was held the coming of age ceremony. I woke up at 4a.m. and went to a beauty salon. Beauty salons open at early morning only today for girls who take part in the coming of age ceremony. I made up my face, put up my hair and wore Furisode(Kimono). Interestingly, it is often said Kimono suits woman whose waist measurement is almost same as her hip . So, I wound a towel around my waist to approximated to the fine proportion. It took about 2hours to dress up. It cost oooooyen.. I felt so sorry for my parents. I think boys are good to their parents because what they have to buy is only suit and what only they have to do for the coming of age ceremony is... to wear the suit. But! the experience wearing Kimono is priceless!!!
The ceremony took only 30minutes. But, the ceremony itself is not so important for us. To meet old friends is the most pleasure. I met many friends who seldom meet. The coming of age ceremony is held in each city. We join the ceremony in our home town. So, friends who go to other prefectures come to our home town. The coming of age ceremony is one of precious chances to catch up with old friends. I feel sorry that I can't find any ways to tell how the ceremony place is buzzing.
After the coming of age ceremony, I went to a drinking party as a class reunion . We held it beyond classes, so almost 50people joined this party. I reminisced about the good old days with my friends.
Today is a colorfulday for me.

My another family!!

I received the information about my host family. There are five members in my host family. All children are girls. We are also a family of five. Indeed, I am the second daughter of three sisters. Namely, My host family structure is the same as my family structure. My Host family's oldest sister, second sister and youngest sister is 1 years old ,3years old and5 years old respectively. The youngest sister was born in just last year!!!! How young they are. I guess I have to get over not only culture shocks but also generation gaps. Besides, there is a dog. It is the first time for me to live with dog because I lived a condominium where pets are not allowed for a long time. I can easily imagine my younger sister envies me.
My senior went to Australia the year before last. Surprisingly, my host family is exactly the same as my senior's host family. What a curious coincidence!! I have read her report about her experience in Australia. Her excitement communicates itself to me by reading her report. Thanks to her report, I can grasp a feeling of hospitality of my host family. At no distant date, I will talk with her face to face. I can't help imagining of my new life as an oldest sister.


ついに、ホストファミリー決まりました!!!!!!!!ステイ先は、5人家族( ^^)Y☆Y(^^ )我が家と一緒だ~。しかも3姉妹。また、また、うちと一緒~。子供達は1&3&5歳の女の子達。つまり、1番小さい子は昨年生まれたばかりヽ(｀ロ´;)ノめちゃ、ちっこい(*>ω<*)日本で言えば、平成生まれの3姉妹。カルチャーショック＋ジェネレーションギャップも乗り越えなければφ(.. )ぃゃ～、可愛いんだろうな。つい、ニヤケてしまうのを、どうにもこうにも止められません(＞ｗ＜)♪
+α 犬。人生初ペット♪♪　仲良くしてくれるかなぁ。
そして、そして、なんと、なんと!!?私のホストファミリーは、前に留学してた私の学科の先輩のホストファミリーだったそうな。山梨だけじゃなくて、世界も狭いのね!!と言うことで、その先輩にお茶につきあってもらうことになりました☆
やっと、現実味湧いてきました。出発が近づくと言うことは、うちの家族といる時間も減っているということ。家には寝に帰ってるような生活してたけど…今のうちに、しゃべり溜めしとかなきゃかな。

（。 。；）

　歯茎が痛い...と思いきや何と、何と!?親知らずが生えてきた!!!!!えっ、えっ~~~。嘘ですよね??本当ですか??って言うか、タイミングは今ですか??今、YOU、生えて来ちゃうの!? 留学中、歯医者のみは保険使えないんですけど…、ご存じでσ(^-^;)??
ぃゃ～、久々にテンション上がっちゃいました(笑)歯医者をこの前、卒業したばっかなのに…υまた、出戻り決定かな(￣~￣；)骨密度良いけどさ、牛乳好きだけどさ。ん～、親の心子知らずとは良く言ったものだゎ(笑)
　Little did I know that I cut my wisdom tooth. I was reeeeeeeally surprised at cutting my wisdom after I come of age. How bad timing is(> .< ;) Because I just finished having my teeth treated. Indeed, I already entered health insurance for studying abroad. I can take advantage of this insurance in any case except .....dentist!! I can say only "Awful". Now, my wisdom teeth grows a little bit , so I can't pull it yet = There are nothing I can do...
By the way, I didn't know that third molar is expressed wisdom tooth. To cut one's wisdom teeth has another meaning according to the dictionary. This also means that men(women) begin to be discreet men (women) . I hope my wisdom tooth is cut to report my maturity to me and to guarantee not to make funny mistakes!

　今日、インタビューを受けました( ^^)(^^)オーストラリアから来ている留学生の子の期末レポートのお手伝い♪♪テーマは、"パラサイトシングル"についてどう思うか。中学か高校の授業で習った気がするな～程度の認識しかなかったのだけれども、乏しいながらも精一杯の知識をフル活用して、答えました!!ちょっとでも、役に立ってくれたら良いな～と思います。インタビューは、録音するとのことで、しかも英語ということで緊張しました（＞＜）どもりまくりで、申し訳ないですっ。。。でも、彼女がとっても優しい!!そして、ちっちゃくて可愛い～☆特に’uhm~’という時の、しぐさがぐっと来ます（笑）質問を丁寧に説明してくれたし、"good～"って何度も褒めてくれました。オーストラリアでも彼女には会えるので、嬉しいです。
　Today, was interviewed by one of international students who come from Australia. She research about the phenomenon of increasing of parasite single in Japan". I know the word of parasite single because I heard this word in the high school's or junior high school's class. I don't know the detail, but I tried to answer by using my full of knowledge of the parasite single. I hope my answer can help her report. She recorded our conversation to be able to review after. We used English through interview. I felt little nervous and stammered many times... But her kind attitude made me relaxed. She explained all questions carefully before we started interview. And she encouraged me with kind words many times. I like her atomosphere and I especially like her behavior when she says" uhm~". It's pretty cute!! I am happy because we can still meet in Australia(^^)♪

Long time no see you!!!

ドイツに短期留学してる友達が、日本に一時帰宅してきました(*´v｀)LovE(´v｀*)ぃゃ～、お久しぶりだ～。面白いくらい、良い意味で、全然、変わってない(笑)安心しました。写真も見せてもらいました。なんか、狙われてるのかなと思わせる男性人の写真がちらほら。ドイツでも楽しくやっているそうで良かった、良かった☆
My friends who belong to the same department and ,now, go to German to study as a exchange student came back to Japan briefly to take part in the event for the young who come of age(成人式). She spend her school life in German from last August. She let us see some pictures with her friends. As far as I guess from these pictures, some of guys in pictures will aim her. Anyway, I am glad to know that she enjoys studying in German. I am also happy that she hasn't changed so much since she left Japan. She is still charming and often chuckles as before. She can enter into our atmosphere immediately. I bet many her friends eager to meet her and she will be pull about because she has to leave again soon to join classes in German. I hope she have fruitful life in German. I am looking forward to hearing the story of her travels.

　私にとっては他大学になる県立大学の留学生とお茶して来ました☆彼は、甲府の姉妹都市のアメリカのアイオワ州デモインからの留学生です。同じボランティアしたのがきっかけで友達に( ^^)Y☆Y(^^ )写真はその時のものです♪また、さらに、さらに、偶然にも!?単位交換でお邪魔している県立大学で,同じ授業を取っていることが判明!!世間狭っ。というより山梨狭っ。"デモインは何もないよ～"とのこと。だから、"何もない甲府と姉妹都市になったんだよね～"って。ん～、同意せざるを得ないのが寂しい。。という何もない甲府で特にすることもないので、今、甲府で開催されている風林火山博まで散歩してきました。そこで売ってるジェラート食べました☆黒ゴマ、ゆず、巨峰、きな粉、等々、どれも惹かれてしまうゎ、、今度、他の味にも挑戦したい!
　アメリカ人の気質なのか、彼は俗に言うェントルマン(笑）申し訳ないですが、慣れてないってのもあって、ウケてしまうゎ～。私も負けじと、ジェントルガールを目指す!!!!ん～、具体的には、何すれば良いのかな。。。
　Today, I hung around with an international student who belongs to other university than mine. We met at a certain festival which I took part in as a volunteer and we made friends. We took the upper picture that day. He came from Des Moines at Iowa state in America.
　In this semester, I take some classes in his university as a part of a certain program hosted by the Kofu government. And I found that he takes the same class. How coincidence we are!
According to him, Des Moines is countryside and there are nothing special. Kofu is also countryside.. He said that Des Moines and Kofu became sister cities because they were very similar." Sadly, I can't help agreeing with him..
We went to a kind of event held in Kofu. In Yamanash,there is a famous historical person named Takeda Shingen who lived in samurai period . And his life became a video drama. The event is held for the video drama. We ate gelato there. There were many kinds of tastes such as grape, green tea, a sort of mandarin orange and so on . I　was puzzled which taste I ate. I choose soybean flour taste finally. Next time, I want to try other tastes!!
　He is a gentleman, I think. I was little upset because I am not accustomed with being treated such way. I make my mind that I become a gentlegirl following him!!!

　I read the book called”Fukuin no Syonen". In this story, two boys cleared up the incident that the building erupted. There were 9 victims. One of victims was their friend. Most people thought the incident was an accident. But, they thought the explosion broke out intentionally by someone.
This book begins the scene that one man visits the place which the building were. We can't know who he is until we read the later part of this book. This book is difficult for readers to piece out the setting . The author doesn't mention a lot about the situation. So,readers can use my imagination. We gradually find out the detail of each characters, who each character is and how did they meet each other. And finally, we can face the fact why the girl was killed. Boys search the fact not to be famous. They search the fact because they only eager to know the fact.
Another highlight of this book is that they suffer from their own characters. They have two faces. At a glance, they are normal students, in fact, they try to be normal studentｓ. On the other hand, they have desire to kill others. They try to hide this desire and to erase the desire somehow. But, they can't do by themselves. Through their search, they have to keep in touch with the criminal. He sees through their dangerous desires and draw them into criminal black world which he live in. The context that boys try to strain at the leash of their desire will grasp reader's attention and the unexpected ending will make readers satisfied with !!
