Shopping
Mood:  rushed
For formal:
I bought navy stripe boot cut trousers from NEXT. It costs ?34.99. I think it's fashionable. Navy is an easy color to coordinate. Today I also bought a long sleeve pull-on jacquard stretch shirt and
black trench mac. They cost ?66.98.

I like NEXT best of all the shops becase there are many kind of clothes. So I can find what I want to buy.


For casual:
I bought women's jeans from Paul Smith. And I bought a black jacket and T-shirt. They costs ?329!!
Clothes of Paul Smith are expensive, but design is very nice!! So I love Paul Smith.

Today, I got a goooood new for me.

I passed the preliminary round of the speech contest!!! I'm very very glad to know it!

The speech contest will be held on the 7th December. There is about only one week. I must practice making a speech harder and harder. I'll do my best, so please boost me!


Recently, I like reading my friends' or someone who writing diary in "mixi". Do you know "mixi"? It's Social Networking Site in Japan.

It has a lot of number of members. Members of "mixi" have own pages and they write diary, sarch for friends who have same hobbies or something members like, and they can join or create "communities" which is group having same hobbies or something. I'm a member of it, of course. I write diary.

But only member of "mixi" can see and use various services. How can you join "mixi"? You need to receive a "invitation" of member. If you're interested in "mixi", I'll invite you to "mixi"! It's really delightful, so let's join it!

My Radio Station
I have used LAUNCHcast for a year. It's very useful and we can enjoy music for free!

I don't like J-Pop so much, so I usually listen to UK or US Rock.

I reccommend Bloc Party, Kasabian, The Ordinary Boys!! They are very very cool.


My station ... crick here

Pronunciation
Mood:  cheeky
Today's lesson is about English Pronunciation.
I like to study English, so I enjoyed this lesson.

I learned pronunciation that Japanese usually mistake. Almost of it wasn't difficult for me. But some pronunciation that we don't use in Japanese is difficult for me a little. I need to practice them!

Next week I'll have preliminary of speech contest. So I use this site to practice.

My favorite amusement park!!
Mood:  surprised
My favorite amusement park is Orlando's Islands of Adventure! It has two types of parks. Islands of adventure and Universal Studios Florida.

When I was a high school student, my family and student from abroad went to Universal Studios Japan that is in Osaka. Orlando's Islands of Adventure has the same attractions. But all of them aren't the same. There aren't so many attractions in Japan. So I want to ride the attractions that I have never ridden.


And I'll tell you about my trip to other amusement park. I went to Tokyo Disney Resort on my school trips (junior high school and high school) and with my friends in UMDS. I love Disney characters and attractions. I live in Hyogo, so TDR is very far from Hyogo. And I need moneys!!! So I'm saving to go there again!

My 21th Birthday!!!!
Mood:  crushed out

Hello everyone!

My name is Mayo. Please call me Mayo or Ponchon.


I introduce myself for everybody looking at my page?™

I'm a management major in UMDS. Third grade now.

After school, I teach English to junior high school students at cram school. I wanna be a teacher. So my part time job is very enjoyable.

I am planning to go abroad to study and enjoy sightseeing. I wanna go to Australia or Canda.

And my hobby is listening to music! I like various genres music, especially I like rock. Hot Hot Heat, Oasis, Bloc Party, Weezer... I listen everyday when I'm on the train.

Last week I bought iPod at Sannomiya!!! It's very very expensive. But its performance is so nice?o Last weekend I enjoyed choosing songs and CDs to play in my iPod. So my iPod has about 900 songs.

But its capacity is 20G. 900 songs are only 3G... I am looking for songs to play in my iPod. If you like music, please tell me your favorite musician or songs!
