Melbourne city

 

Melbourne is such a beautiful city.

 

↓This is flinders street station. 

   It looks like a gorgeous European castle right? :D

   Also, this place is a model of the city which Kiki decided to live as witch in 魔女の宅急便.

I like this arcade! it calls Block Arcade.

The floor is designed by tiny tiles.

It is really old building, but it is conservation place.

Just amazing, beautiful place.

There are a lot of great shops in this arcade.

I will introduce other places another day.

 

just make it clear

 

I'm sorry that I didn' t tell my nickname on this blog has changed!!!

 

そーめんwas my old name.

Shokoloko is my new name.

 

I won't change my name anymore :( !

 

 

よろしくおねがいします！

what is unique?

 

I didn't talk about my hostfamily on this blog right?

I will talk about them then.

My hostfamily members are father,mather and two little boys.

One of the boys is 8 and the another one has just turned 6 in march.

They are nice, sometimes annoying XD but mostly fine and extremely cute!

I love kids, playing with them, talking with them, so I'm glad that I live with them.

I've been this house for 2and a half years. Most of the international students change

their hostfamily at least one time, because their food isn't good or aren't confy

or something like that.

So I feel really lucky that I could have such a good family! :)

 

Today, There are 2 extra boys at home.

they are my hostbrother's good friends.

They came here at 9ish and play along together.

In the morning, My host mother told me that she and 4kids go to cafe, so

I went to the cafe with them.

 

On the car I talked about "gay people" with my host mother !

there are alot of gay people in australia. I've never seen gay people in Japan, so

when I saw the gay cupple (lesbian cupple) here, I was quite surprised and thought

IS IT ALLOWED?   it is really open in australia.

It's so easy to know that the man is gay, the lady is lesbian here.

 

I haven't seen any gay couple even gay person in Japan as I said before,

that's because they conceal their real mind hardly.

Also, I can say that it would be pretty hard to live with your 'problem' in Japan.

Including myself, Japanese people hate to be unusual.

Of course, not everyone. some people want to be ordinary.

but probably people will look at that ordinary person as CRAZY, Freak, Strange and

AVOID from her or him.

 

I thought that kind of environment makes harder to live as REAL person.

 

All people who turned to be popular in history are UNIQUE.

Unique is such a useful word that could sound as GOOD, but in other word it is STRANGE.

I don't mean to that We all should be strange, no.

what I want to say is to be real is important.

Being Ordinary is a step that make you unique person.

 

 

 

 

hooch!

 

                                                              Hi! :)

                   I looked up some pictures on my i pod touch and it makes me to miss my dog so much!!!

 

                   I have a dog at home in Japan. His name is Hooch, black labrador, 10 years old.

 

I love love love love big dogs(^ω^)

it doesn't mean that I hate small dogs, but I prefer big dog to small one.

Especially, Labradors are just amazing dogs, I believe.

I like their 'fearless face' that every labradors have. 困り顔 in Japanese.

 

When I was kid around age7~9, I played 'Hide and seek' with him! XD

While he is eating something or playing with my family, I hide quietly.

afterwards, I call him loudly 'Hooch! where am I !?' and he comes to find me by using his special nose

and it is really really cute moment that he found me! he seems so happy and shake his tail,

lick my face! haha

 

about,,,3 years ago, He has got a cancer in his mouth.

and it was really shocking news for my family and he was going to  have an operation.

and We're said that his face will change(contort) little bit, it was extremely sad.

The Vet said that beforeward, let's try to give him some medicines every meal, and it is possible

to cure his sick.

And Finally, He cured his cancer by medicines!!!!

and it has recovered completely!

yeah that was great. He wasn't allowed to eat alot, so he was really skinny at that time.

I felt so sorry for him.

but now he is fine and cheerful :) so, I am really glad that he is my lovely pet.

and I hope that we could be together as long as we can.

 

I will attach his photos again :)

good nightyy!!!

results

 

HeyHeyHey :) Guess what everyone?!

I've just found out my results of TOEIC test.

I called to the man who is one of the staff members of TOEIC test, and asked what did I get.

 

and He asked me to GUESS my score!

I was like Is he my friend or whaaat? XD

but I told him 'ummm.. 670?'(cos I got 670 last year)

and he asked me again,'oh what's score do you want?'

I said 'ummm over 700?'

and he went 'okay. guess your score again'

 

afterwards conversation was

Me: 670?

man: higher

Me: how high?

man: you have to guess!

Me: ... okaay well 680?

man: higher

me: 700?

man: higher

 

So yeahh, as you know he was quite annoying hahaha!

but that's fine cos it was funny to guess.

 

and finallyyyy my score was...

 

760! yesh yesh yesh!!

I'm glad to get this score.

Honestly, I wanted over 800 if I could

although 760 is not bad score so far. 

for my uni that I wanna go, I need minimum 785

but to make sure, I want 800 before my exam(in September).

 

I have TOEIC next month as well, so hopefully I could get over 800 then. I will be extremely happy if I could,

So I'm going to continue what I'm doing right now and

keep on learning. 40 to go!
