Walking Course♪

I got up at about 5:30from 6:00 in the morning, and walk around Kumamoto castle for about 40 minutes everyday. Today, I'm talking about walking course.

At first, I walk for Kumamoto Castle. Then, I walk about two round on the way to there.

Second, I climb the hill slowly. Everytime I walk the hill, I walk diagonally because this step made me not tired. After finished the hill, I walk for the Ninomaru Park straight, then I walk around there two round. I exchange greetings for the walking man or woman. This behavior makes me feel happy every morning.

Finally, I visit the katou shrine for homage at a shine. Today, I talked to the Shinto priest. He said "I got up at 3:00am every day. And I have to go out until 7:oo am. " I was surprize . He is great!!! I respect him so much.

RAINY DAY

Today is the rainy day. I don't like rainy day. Because, when I go to university, I have to use the Bus or train. But, Today I could go to bicycle, wearing the rain coat. But I was drenched with rain. I was so sad...

By the way, when I was a child, I loved rainy day. Because I liked to walk around bank. I have lived Hanazono for 13 years, so I grown up with a lot of nature. I love nature so much. Every time I walk the street, I found the snail on the hydrangea. The hydrangea is so beautiful especially when it rains.

I　also love drops of rain. It is so wonderful, I think. If I had more time, I could see around the nature deliberately...

Green!!!

Yesterday, I had a good happening!!!

I wore a green jacket. So, my new friends who are the same class in Japanese modern literature wore the same color!!!

I and them were very surprised at the happens. So, we were laughed a lot. My friend said, If Processor Akai wore the same color with us, What about that!!!!　I said, Wow, if it were true, I would be laugh!!! After a while, Ms. Akai came in, She were wearing the same color...!!!! We were very surprised that !!!! Wow!!! I didn't believe it. As it were, not by accident but by design.

It was a surprising day I think. This day was what is called Green day for me....☆

Automatic pencil

I bought a new automatic pencil at Maruzen in KGU.
I wanted to it so much, because this pencil is good for writing.
I love writing very much. I write to letter for my friends or acquintance and so on. To write letter is very good for a change. Every time I write to them, I feel happy and glad. Now, I'm not good at writing in English, but I came to love it so muchヾ(´ー｀)ゞ

CYCLING

I love exercise. I walked around Kumamoto Castle every early morning. I love walking so much. Because, It is good for my body and refresh.

I watched the TV program. The title is Bicycle and health. I was interestied in the theme. I watched them momentarily. The TV said that Cycling is good for body and exercise. I guess...if I walk and ride a bicycle for thirty minutes, I might become thin. That is an good idea!!! I decided to more exsercise from now on.

GOSPEL

I love Gospel. I'm not a Christian, but I always encouraged gospel music when I was in trouble or happens.

I introduce my favorite movie. The title is Sister Act. In Japan, it called tensh ni love song wo. Do you know that??

When I had studied Bible, I always thought about Jesus Christ and God's relations. I asked pastor sometimes, but I wasn't understood well. I think that Christianity is one of American Culture and way of value. I am Japanese, so I wondered why Jesus = God. I have not still answered the question...

By the way, This movie's music is very very good and powerful I think!! I love Oh, happy day the best. I wanna live every day happy I think.

Another favorite gospel music is This little light of mine.

This word is as follows.

This little light of mine I'm gonna let it shine(*repeat)

let it shine let it shine let it shine...(*repeat)

I wanna sing everyone!!! Would you sing this song together??
