Essays 2-03b: Who am I?



Hello, I'll introduce myself. I'll show you my family, my hometown, my school, my dog, my character, something my favorites.

First, I'll introduce my family. There five members of my family; father, mother, brother, a dog and me. My father was already retire of his job. But mother is still working. My father is kind and stubborn. I ofted don't understand his thinking, so I sometimes qurrel with him. But he is kind not only person but also animals. In my childhood and in the cold morning, he always warm my school uniform on the heater. Thanked for him, I can put on  warm clothes. My mother is so positive person, I think. She doesn't worry about bad things. She can change her opinion for good direction soon. Also she is hard worker. She wokes up early and prepare breakfast and my lunch. Even if she talks a lot with me at previous night and go to bed late, she workes up on time in the morning. She sometimes oversleeep, but she finished almost housework in the early morning. I often go shopping with her, so she likes a good friend for me.My brother is about 12years apart to me. He is already married and he has three naughty children. He also works in the morning to the night and sometimes he works overtime until midnight. I think he is reliable and interesting. His talk is always interesting and he makes me laugh. But some times he gets back serious. He is reliable, so if I worry something, I talk to him. And my dog is living about 13 years. He is still fine.

Second, I'll talk where I'm living. I live in Kumamoto, and located south districts from Kumamoto city. It takes about 30 minutes by a car to KGU, so it's little far from my house. If I go to downtown, it takes 15-20 minutes by a car. Few years ago, small bus stop was built near my house. So there is more convenient than before. Also, there are many restaurants around my house. For example, Pisorino, MK, Maguroichiba, Mos Burger, Kentucky Fried Chicken. If we are hungry, we can drop at these restaurant. Each restaurants are nice and I've been there many times. Downtown is also attractive places. There are Sunroad street, Shower street, Kamitori, Shimotori and Namikizaka. I know other unique streets, but these streets are popular. I often go there to have my hair cut and go shopping. Including my hometown, Kumamoto is the most comfortable places.

Third,  I'll talk about my school. I go to KGU university. Now I'm sophomore of this university, but in this year, I'll become 3rd year student. I belong to English-American department and I brush up my English skills there. I take many subjects except Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking. I'm not belong any circles, but I enjoy spending campus life. Campus life is precious for me. If you want to meet you, you can visit Bakery!

Also, I'm studying for get qualification. I take classes for Japanese teacher training course, so every week I feel busy. And if I have a free time, I study another qualifications. For example, TOEIC, English proficiency test, and so on. Reading, Writing, Speaking skills study at the same time.

Next, I'll talk about my dog! My dog's name is "Jolly". Do you think is it good name? He is old, but eat and sleep well. He sleeps all day and he wakes up at midnight. He sometimes barks, so it is noisy. He is mix dog but he has so cute face. He often run off my house and he is worried us. But I like him and he is a member of my family.

I'll talk about my character little bit. I'm a not sociable person, but I like to talk to people. And I'm so curious. I want to try what I haven't experienced. I often think interesting things. I always look for something interesting things. Most people think "You are strange", but I'm not strange! Even bad points and good points, I like my character.

My hobby is listening to music, go shopping and watch movies. If I have a free time, I naturally do that one of them.

I like listening to music. I often listen Western music, Japanese pop music and Korean pop music. In Japanese music, I like to listen EXILE. Their songs encourage myself. I have many favorites songs of them. In Korean music, I like to listen 2NE1. Their songs are catchy, so I enjoyed listening.
Especially, Western music has a big power for me. I often listen R&B, and Club house music. These music make my feeling good.

My favorite artist is "Rihanna". She is a special artist for me. Her songs belong to R&B music and her music has big energy. Her voice is strong, so it matches the sound. I have three albums of her. I every time listen her songs at my house, my music player or in a car. Moreover her fashion is so eccentric. She seems to Lady Gaga sometimes. Her songs make me happy.

I go to Fukuoka once a month to go shopping. There are many shopping places, so I often go there. Tenjin Coa, Canal city, Marinoa city and Hankyu are very exciting places for girls. I think Kumamoto is little expensive than Fukuoka, so I prefer to go there. There is my second hometown, so I know it little bit. Whenever I go there, I find new things. New shops, restaurant, coffee, streets, goods make me fresh. There are many flourishing shops, so I feel like to go there again.


My favorite movie is "Devil Wears PRADA". I watched it few years ago, but I like to watch it. This movie's target is working women. She is busy for business and love. If you have to choose work or love, which will you choose? I think I'll not be able to answer. Both things are important, so I can't choose only one. I was considered this movie. Also I checked their fashion. PRADA is high brand and the design is great. This movie make me happy.

Do you understand about me? If you see me somewhere, please tell me!

My favorite place I've been

My favorite place is Kagoshima. I've been there many times. First, I went to there is about six years ago. I often travel with my family but I haven't traveled over Kumamoto prefecture since then. We didn't use high way, so it was a long way trip. We didn't set navigation system in the car, so we looked a map. Now our car have a navigation system but in those days, it was so hard trip for us. We lost our way many times, so we asked people who were walking in the street. Now we couldn't do that experience, I think. We were very happy when we arrived in the hotel on time! We went to Kagoshima aquarium. We saw Zinbeizame and many sea animals. Also I and my mother enjoyed taking "Sunamushiburo". We were relaxed. It was like a sauna bath. If you haven't tried it, you can try. In Kagoshima, it's one of a famous activity. There are many places for sightseeing. For example, Chiran districts(that place is a famous about commando), Sakurazima, Satamisaki, Kaimondake. Last summer, we also went to there. My parents like to go there but I also have same opinion. People in Kagoshima are easy going in points of driving, talking, thinking. People in Kumamoto are always hasty. I like the character of Kagoshima. Their atmosphere is so unique that we like it very much.

My favorite TV/movie star

I like Wentworth Miller. He is from England, and he works as an actor in the U.S. His most famous work is "Prison Break". Have you ever watched it? I couldn't watch it on real time, so I watched it on DVD at home. I've watched all stories. And at the same time, I became a big fun of him. He acted a smart, cool character. Moreover, I like his voice and atmosphere. When I knew his appearance at Mariah Carly's MV, I was surprised. On her MV, he acted a sexy boyfriend. You can watch "We belong together" on YouTube. You'll be like him. He carved tatoo on top of his body on Prison Break. I suspected he really tried it on his body. I don't know the truth. He treated for women devotedly, and he always helped her. I thought even just his acting, many girls was fascinated him. Recently, I saw his picture and I was shocked. He became fat man! On the net, people say, "He experienced middle-age spread". I couldn't believe it. I want him to get back his slender body and great muscles again.

My favorite music

I like to listen to music. I'm always using MP3 for listening. I like Japanese pop music, but I often listen to Western music. I think Western music is more powerful than Japanese music. Especially, I like to listen to R&B music and Club music. R&B is little slow tempo but the lyrics has strength. Rihanna is my favorite artist. At first, I bought her 1st album, "Music of the sun", I was surprised her music. In those days, I was fascinated with her strong voice. Her voice is near husky. Her singles always ranked in Billboard hit chart. I think "Hate That I Love You" has strong R&B elements. In this song, she collaborated with Ne-Yo. This duet is like wonderful dream, isn't it? Ne-Yo's clear voice fitted her voice! Recently, her single, "California King Bed" is used the CM, "NIVEA hand cream". The melody makes me warm and the lyrics hit my heart. I heard her song is also played in club. I often played her songs a lot at home. Also you should check her fashion. Her style is eccentric but cool like Lady Gaga. That is why I love her music. If you haven't listened her songs, please listen at once.

My favorite junior high memory

My junior high school was so big, and many students go there by on foot or bicycle. I always go there by bicycle. It took about 15minutes from my house. I like to go home with my friends. My good friends are another class, so I didn't have enough time to talk them. However when I finished all classes, I visited their classes, and called them. I don't know why I visited their class every day, but naturally, it became a habit for me. My second favorite memory is "Nice Try". This program's motto is job experience. It was a first job experience for me, so I was nervous. I worked with my classmates in home center FUTABA. Earn money is important thing, but offering hospitality makes customers happy and fresh. The experience can't do only junior high, so I can't forget those experiences.

My favorite season

What is your favorite season? My favorite season is winter. Because my birthday is waiting and streets brighten by a lot of illuminations. I like cold season better than hot season, so winter makes me excited. I usually spend this season with kotatsu in my house. Kotatsu keeps my body warm. If it's not in my house, I can't spend there comfortably. However kotatsu has disadvantage. Once I put my foot in it, I oversleep until the morning. Also, I enjoy spending my birthday every year. My family or friends make a plan for me, so it's fun to join a Christmas and my birthday party. Then I get presents and messages. I appreciate them every time. Every one enjoy spending each time. Some people spend a person who thinks "precious". I can see the faces that everyone are smiling.

My favorite candy

I don't eat candy so much, but I have my favorite candy. Have you ever eaten Colorful soda candy? Recently, I knew this candy's name. It has some tastes, Pine soda, Pop soda, Mango soda and Peach soda. When I take a class of qualification, our teacher always bring it to us. It tastes good and wakes my brain up. I think Pop soda is the best because it's not so sweet. If I put it into my mouth, sour soda souse expand in my mouth. I think it is unique taste! Some people dislike this taste, but I can eat it! Our teacher maybe buys it in LOWSON. She thinks that students are exhausted to sit in front of computers for three hours, so she buys it. There are many kind of candies in supermarket, so I can't chose it only one!

My favorite dessert

Do you like sweets? Some people dislike sweets, but I like sweets very much. Whenever I feel tiredness, sweets mend my mind. My favorite dessert is cream puff. Cream puff is one of the French desserts. I prefer to eat puff pastry that is made by pie. It taste is better than usual puff. I don't like too sweet cream, so how can we find which one is so sweet? We can't find without eating it. It's so difficult! I usually buy it in "Beard Papa". It's in Kumamoto department store. This shop's cream puff is great. We can choose some puff pastes. For example, normal, pie, chocolate. Of course I always choose pie! After we choose puff pastes, clerks start to get cream into empty puffs. If I have a time, I'd like to try to make it!

My favorite clothing

Which do you prefer, pants or skirts? I like to put on pants. Pants style is relax and we can move actively. Skirt is also cute but pants style is the best. If I want to get good pants, I always go "moussy". This shop is kind of casual. The price is not so cheap but the quality is high. I try on some pants in fitting room, and I think what shape is really fitted me. Skinny, Buggy, Boots cut, Damage jeans... I have many choices! I always buy Skinny type jeans. I don't know Skinny type jeans really make my legs better, but I believe it has good effects. "moussy" has a unique stitch on the hip of jeans. The stitch is simple but I like this design. At all points, I love pants! I want to try to wear other kinds of clothes.

My favorite TV show

I usually watch music, drama, variety programs. Though, especially, I like to watch "Dangan Traveler". Some popular models or talents go to foreign countries where they want to go and stay only a day. They always feel hard because many activities are stuffed on a day. It's fun to know what's the famous spots in each countries. Almost every week, different girls go different countries, so it's exciting. Recently, new MC join this program instead of Rinka who retired in last month. She is Nozomi Sasaki who is popular model. Actually, I missed Rinka! I really like her, so I want her to go back this program again. I haven't missed her travel. If I have a chance travel around the world, I want to go Hawaii, Paris, and many countries!

My favorite sport to watch

I prefer to watch sports rather than play. In winter season, I'm looking forward to watching figure skating. My favorite player is Miki Ando. She was the first player who successed Quadruple jump. First, she was confused by people's expectation. She had experienced frustration many times, but after that she had grown herself. She stopped jumping Quadruple, and she brushed up expression that she has. I like her sprits a top skater. She didn't give up even she failed many times. As a result, she won in 2011 World Figure Skating Championships. I was impressed her perfect performance. Figure skate is one of the competition, but I think it may "art". It brushes our sensibility, and when we watched their performance, we felt simply, "beautiful".

My favorite shoes

New shoes make me happy. I like to collect boots. I have eleven boots including rain boots. However I don't put all of shoes. Actually, I usually put on three or four boots. This season, I often put on short boots, but gradually, I'll switch long boots. My favorite boots is short black boots. I bought it about two months ago. It looks sneaker, but it has about five heels. It isn't so high, so I can walk around easily. I got it low price in Canal city Hakata. I don't have so many pumps. I have four pumps, but I seldom put on them. If I wear pants, I sometimes put on them. Recently, there is a little chill in the air, so it's exciting to wear long boots.

My favorite color

My favorite color is black and red. When I wear clothes, black shows our body more slim. Black is used many living things. For example, TV color, car and so on. This color is popular with people. Black is easy to combine another color, so I often wear black T-shirts, jackets, shoes. I like cool colors, so black is the best. Second, I also like red. Red is passionate color, every one think. I don't have clothes of clear red. It's so bold for me to wear. Especially, I like wine red. It's kind of red but little deep. I have a cardigan the color is like that. This color is easy to wear. I want to try another colors. Also, I'll find other new favorite colors through it.

My favorite car

My favorite car is "JUKE". This car is recently produced by NISSAN. It looks round and cute body. I like the design like this. Actually, I haven't ridden this car, but my friend has tried to ride it, so I felt jealous! I sometimes enjoy driving alone, but also I like to drive with my friends or my family. I want to buy it, but I think I'll not maintain it because of its tax, it may not economical on gas. If I buy it, I'll not be able to pay expensive money. It's serious problem that we have own car. "JUKE" has a lot of good points so that we can drive comfortably. For example, it has side under mirror, so you can do parallel parking easily. Also, it body is as small as "TIDA". It is more slimmer and compact size than we expect. I want to drive it someday!
