実力以上☆

In the beginning of the next month, I'm taking IELT again as the last test(. . ;)_So, actually, I needed to study for it.. But, some parts of me kindly helped me keep out of control over myself..

So..

I changed my mind wisely! I devoted most of my time of the last three days to reading the book because I realized it was the clever way rather than trying to keep away the book from me (o< )=3( the book distracted me a lot from studying for the upcomimg test..)

And ..finally,I did it~~My curiosity to know the following story pushed me to go through reading the whole story~

In a word,

I'll get down to studying for IELT from today <( '~';)..

The last time I took IELT and got the result which was not enough to my target, my mother said she hope I can streach my ability more than I have the next time..(実力以上の力が出せるといいね♪) ???The comon phrase is saying "hope you can come into my own"..(実力が発揮できると良いね♪） I realize that my mother is too optimistic or parhaps, too ambituois. Anyway,I hope there excists more than 100% things in this world!! And my cleverst moment comes when i hope( ><)☆

Lovely to meet... ME(->ω<) ♡（>ω<-)

　Geisha again.. because I found my name in that book(☆o☆)!What a coincidence~~ Nice to meet Me~( ^^)(^^ )♪

　I have three names now, Kanako, Mun, Michelle.

Kanako~
Which name did I come across? Of course, Kanako~My real name! Kanako in this book is one of Gaisya's names~ But, she is a not good character..I was really desappointed in me..(><;)!! I sometimes explain my friends my whole name don't have any specific means together. Because ,for my parents, the sound of names and the number of strokes used to write them(there are luckily and unlucky strokes considering our family names)were matters rather than the meaning of each characters. But, if i force myself to make my name have some meanings..my name means a child who adds a pear..Does it make sense(' '?)

Sometimes, I find my name in some TV shows or comics. I don't know why, but Kanako are bad charasters in anywhere.. Poor me.. for me, every name has some image or impression thanks to my friends who I met in my life(-UωU-)☆For example..

Mai..an active girl
Miho..a trendy girl
Misaki.. a respectable girl
Ayaka..a fasionable girl
Chisato.. a sensitive girl
Rina..a lovable girl

How about Kanako..? I just hope Kanako don't bring my friends bad impression becuase of me(>人<;) Mun~ My one of nicknames is Mun which used since I was kindergartner. My first name is Murase. and if I read my first name from the end it is Se ra mu. and then, if I combine seramu and Mun, it becomes seramun. It seems like sailor moon(セーラームーン）. This is the title of the Japanese famous animation for girls. セーラームーン is famous in Australia as well. So I can feel like as if I am famous.lol

Update..
My host mother thought my name was Mon.. My friend thought my nick name was Moon...and our dog's nick name seems to be Mun.. It's a bit confusing.. Mmm, any name is OK as long as i can recognize I am called..

お疲れ様でしたm(_ _)m

I finally finished the first semester at UTS. Time really seems to fly~.

How have I changed in the past 4 months? Nothing in particular, maybe. I am ..still me.

My main and big objective in Australia is.. to get passion!!

I mean busting a gut at least one time or expressing my emotion more clearly <(@@)/~

In this personal subject, maybe I failed .. And I seem to have to carry over this from this semester to the next semester...

Anyway, I'm well content with life here~ There are too many things made me inspired to write down here. So, I will write about such a kind of thing when the time is right.

Just I want to say thanks to everybody ~ありがとう☆

~~○公文は世界語○~~

Kumon~~!! I found the advertizing of Kumon in a magazine here ~~!!

I was a student of Kumon when I was a junior high and high school student (for 6 years). After graduating from my high school, I came back to Kumon as an assistant for one year. That's why I was so excited when I found it.

I think Kumon is not so popular for high school students, because teaching materials of Kumon are not related directly to entrance exams for universities. So, (in my opinion) most students (parents?)prefer juku schools to get direct strategies to pass entrance examinations.

But, I am a fan of Kumon~~ , because the way of studying of Kumon really suited me. In Kumon, we can choose materials suit our own levels without concerning our grades in our schools. I was a really slow learner( and I am still a slow learner..) especially math...( Math is my enemy...) My teachers and my parents said so , so the fact I was a slow learner is the unshackable fact..(' ';) So, Kumon was good environment for me to study without pressure~~


By the way, Kumon was the first place I studied English. That's why I like English, probably~~

♡パジャマ♡はんてん♡ ~~ mother's dayにちなんで~~

　 Before I came here, no one said that I would feel home sick in Australia. My host mother said that I am easy-going about one month after I lived with her. So, I know that I am regard as such a person by others. And probably, I am really such a sort of person. So, I totally had no idea that my mother would worry so much about me ... before I got the box from Japan..

Now, in Australia, winter is coming. So , I asked my mother to send me winter clothes. When I opened the box, I found hanten( which is worm out cloth on pajama). I didn't ask my mother to send such bulky stuff. I could easily pictured the scene my mother was concerned I might feel cold at night in Australia. This bulky hanten has my mother's full of kindness and love( I hope she didn't put the hunten just because there was room in the box.lol)

The time i got the box from my mother was a very good timing, because that time was just few days after I got pajamas from my host mother. Why my did host mother give me pajamas? There is a long(?) story.lol

The other day, my host sister asked me something about pajama and ...our conversation ended by making my host sister cry..because I couldn't understand what she asked me and she was confused a great deal... I am sorry...

And few days later, I got pajamas from my host mother who saw our conversation which looked like a quarrel. Thank you~~.
And ...few days later I got pajamas, I got the hanten. Thank you~~.
And now... I have a comfortable night thanks to my two mothers(-UωU-)♡ Thank you~~

Geisya

　　Recently, I read a book named Geisha which I borrowed from my host mother . This book has 430pages ~It is thick enough to hit someone's heads...(>w<)! lol This is really challenging reading for me. But, I will try to be an active reader until I can finish reading up to the last page . This book is really intresting.

For example... Namely, Japanese men, as a rule, feel about a women's neck and throat the same way that men in the West might feel about a women's legs.This is why Geisha wear the collars of their kimono so low in the back that the first few bumps of the spine are visible. I suppose it's like a woman in Paris wearing a short skirt.


I'm not sure this is the real reason why gaisha wear collars of their Kimono low. But, at least, it is an intrestiing opinion~~.lol I like reading, because I can step back to the past, have a glance of the future and visit wonderful places in my imaginary worlds. Once I come across intresting books, I can't help being excited~~ And some books are intresting enough to make me forget to go to bathroom.lol Geisha is such a book.

...But the big problem of English books is ...that I am often left behind by the stories,because I can't flick through the pages like that when I read books in Japanese. How frustrating~~(><)

...Though frustrating, i can't help opening books to see new worlds and new words .lol

Excursion in Australia

　Today, my host sister went to an excursion as a part of her kindergarten class. And , in this morning,my host mother showed me the document from my host sister's kindergarten . Immediately, I was grasped my attention by it. I couldn't help commenting something as reading this document~~.
This document said: The kindergarten classes will hold their Super Kid to a local park...
わぉ(☆o☆）!... Each student is asked to bring their own healthy picnic lunch...えっ。ヘルシー限定!?(' ':)...
Students must wear sun screen and a hat. ..Mmm...そっかぁ。ここ、オーストラリアだもんね。
I bet most of Japanese can understand why I thought this document deserves my attention.
