I was fine all day. I think the pills worked good on me. Tomorrow is the last school day in this week because we have P.A.day(p~ activity day. Which is for teacher's studying).
Lately,it's really boring. I mean everyday is same. I have to do something.
By the way,I made oatmeal cookies in this evening. (so I found "something" to do today.) Taste good (^u^) But the cookies were soft. I think there are too much milk is the cookies. Next time,I'll try to make it crispy.
So,I'm gonna study now for a while. Then I'll go to the bed soon. Because I'm still tired from the sickness. Bye.

I think I caught a cold from Jacob and Lucas. They were sick yesterday. I have a sore throat and stuffy nose and feel feverish. It's so bad. I know it's better to go to the bed right now.
But Sue and Alejandro have gone to Toronto. It means I can use the internet as long as I want. However this computer is super idiot and crazy slow. It's making me more sick.
By the way,I was fine in the school today. But lately the school is boring. I need something that stimulate me. Does someone have great idea?
Oh,I have a headache and a runny nose. Ok,I changed my mind. I go to the bed right now. Have a good night,everyone.

Kuni-chan,thank you for your visiting and the comment.

Hi. My name is Lucas. This is my army picture. Enjoy it!

Hi.My name is Jacab.This is my first picture. Do you like it? Enjoy.

I had a good sleep last night.I went down to the kitchen for the breakfast at 9 o'clock.At 11:30,we(whole Halimar member) left the house to go to the ice skating.We made some races and enjoyed it.Kids were very good at skating today.After skating,I was so hot and sweaty.But outside was little bit cold today,so it made me cool soon.
Then,Sue,kids,and I went to the high school to watch a play.The play's title is "The Raven who stole the sun".This play was held for the elementary school's students.But I could enjoyed it.The story was so interesting,and the actors were great and funny.The story was from Canada's legend.
There were the father and his daughter in the woods in the story.They lost the mother(for the father,it's wife) long time ago and the father was still sad.When the mother past away,the father took the stars,the moon,and the sun from the sky and put them into the boxes.Because those makes him sad.
One day,the daughter met a bird in the woods.The bird's name was Raven.He knew there are strange boxes in her house and wanted to open it.He asked the daughter how to see the inside of boxes.She said that the father needs new happiness and he was sure that a grandsan bring him new happiness.Raven planed to be his grandsan. He transfoemed to a pine needle and jumped into the stream.
Soon,the daughter came to the stream.She drank the water with the "pine needle Raven". That night,she felt something strange with her belly.Soon,the baby Raven was born!!The father and the daughter were happy at first.But the baby Raven cried all the time because of the boxes.Finaly,the father who couldon't put up with Raven's crying gave the boxes to Raven.The Baby Raven opened the boxes.
First,the stars went back to the sky.Then the moon,and the sun.The whole world got the light again.But the father was sad because he lost the stars,the moon,and the sun and have to see the world.To see the world was so sad for the father.Because there are a lot of memories of the mother(his wife).However the daughter was so happy to see the world.Because she can see the world which was told by the father.
But after Raven's running away,the father found new happiness with the new beautiful world.
Then,the play was over.
This week,I have only four school day.Because Friday is P.A day.Yay!!But,,,I'm little bit sad now.I've been here for 10 months now.So I have only 2 months left.Time runs so so so fast!!

WOW,what a beautiful Saturday today. The sky is clear and it's not cold. I can't believe that it's November!!
I got up at 9 o'clock and took a shower. Sue and the kids had gone to ice hocky when I went down to the kitchen for the breakfast. During I was cleaning the after breakfast's kitchen,they've come back. We have 2 couples on this weekend,so the kitchen was not so messy.
After kitchen,I decorated the dinning room for the christmas with kids and Sue. The christmas tree is awesome. I think it's the best christmas tree I have ever seen. You can see the tree in the pictures.
I made a small village on the fireplace. There are some illuminations under "the snow". I put many houses and people and trees on the illuminations. Each house has a hole,so when the light is turned on,the village is looks so beautiful. Now the dinning room is so gorgeous. You have to visit Halimar now!!
To buy some eggs,Sue,kids,and I went to the town. But it was lunch time,so we went to '"new" Kosy Korner'. Yeah, Kosy Korner has just moved. I like the color of the wall. It's very nice light green. Well,we all ordered sandwich and the today's soup. The soup was turkey soup and was delicious. There were rice,potate,carrot,and of course turkey in the soup. I like to know how to cook it. Then,my sandwich was Chicken Salad with Onion Rings was delicious too! But the Onion Rings were too much for me,so I took it back with me. I'll eat it for tomorrow's lunch or will give Alejandro.
By the way,at Kosy Korner,I saw a guy who was drinking the Diete Coke. I haven't drunk coke for looooong time(7~10 years,I guess). But my throat was feeling so bad then. I needed something to drink. Oh my goodness,I really wanted to drink COKE! But,,,Coke,,,I have one reason that I don't drink coke. The reason is,,,because I'm thinking that coke makes my teeth weak("boroboro"in japanese). I have seen a picture at the nurse room when I was a elementary school student. The picture was about an experiment with some someboby's teeth and coke,and it showed me really really horrible effect. The teeth in a small vessel were dilapidated. It was caused by coke. Why? Because the vessel was full of coke.
But,,,I drunk diete coke at last. I'll have nightmare tonight because my conscience is stinging me now. However my throat is feeling so good.

I tried to make a post last night. But I was really sleepy from cold then. Because I was standing by the wayside of Haliburton main street for an hour in -4 degree. How come? Last night was the day of Santa Claus Parade,so we(Jan,kids,Alejandro,and I) went there to see the parade.
First a police car and a fire engine came. Next the brass band came with playing christmas music. Oh,there was my friend ,Ayumi in the band. She was playing the flute and was wearing great uniform. But she said that the uniform was not good for Japanese who is short.
Lots of things passed. Dance group,horses,school bus(christmas ba-jon),hot tab,and so on. Above all,the bagpipe group was best.

I will go to ice hockey in tomorrow morning.

Lastnight,I made a new post!! But the computer which is used by Alejandro and me and guests(sometimes) is crazy slow and stupid and old. When I finished writing a post,something happened. FREEZE! Oh man,my post were gone! I was really tired and sleepy then. Plus, it takes time for me to make a post in English. So I didn't want to make another post again.
I'm in the school libraly now. I hope this computer is fine.
At 1st piriod,we played basketball and dodge ball and baseball-dodge ball. I liked baseball-dodge ball best. But last time,I sprained my ancle. This time was ok. And my team won!

Sunday again. It was not rainy but was cloudy and cold. I got up before 10. Jan was having his breakfast when I went down to the kitchen. No kids today. Because they have gone to Toronto with Sue since yesterday. They'll come back here tonight.
I cooked French toast and sunny side up egg for my breakfast, was good. But my day was boring. Nothing to do except my school homework. Outside was so cold and windy,so I didn't want to go to the outside.
Well,I wish next weekend is better than today.

We had heavy rain for 2 days. It was so cold.
School,it was good especially the visual art class. I'm still doing on the big picture.But it's almost done. Oh,I love art!!! When I was painting something,I can forget the time.By the way,I have to finish it untill next Monday!!
The gym class,I had a test. It was about archely and was so so.After the test,we played BLAIND volleyball.Oh my goodness! It was so exciting,I liked it! When the teacher gave us a really big ball,an unfortunate accident happened to ME.The first was ok,we enjoyed valleyball with the big ball.But,at the end of the class,a guy kicked the ball.The ball passed through under the net and hit my left-side face!!
How could I imagine that the big ball come to my face from under the net???I was so so so so surprised. And at once,I felt something unconfortable with my left eye.Oh,man! I lost my contact lens!But,,,I enjoyed it,yeah. That's it.
After coming back to my room,I turned on the tv.The program was a Japanese horror movie,Honogurai mizu no soko kara(in english,it's the dark water).I was interested in the movie because they were speaking japanese.I have watched Kansen in the summer. Of course it was in japanese too.But how come the movies I can watch in haliburton are always horror???Oh,I really miss Japanese movies.
Well this was my day.
Oh,everyone,thank you so much for looking for my contact lens!

Oh,yeah!! The girl who is in the same gym class gave me a mandarin orange!! Wow I was so happy. Look at the picture! I'm dying from NO MIKAN actually. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (><)

I made a baby last night!!!A baby!And I have to take care of him(it's a boy) for 1 week. This is the assignment from the parenting class.
I was taking care of a egg last week. Now it became a baby. I always carry him even to the classes and the school bus. My baby's weight is about 2.5kg. He's boby is made from Sue's old sweater which color is light orange. And he is wearing my old white sweater that made over by me. I made his face just now and it looks much better than before because he had no face today.Sue lent me a hat and blanket for the baby. Those are so cute.
But I'm still lucky. Some people have the almost real babies.It mean the robot babies! Whan the babies feel unconfortable,they start crying.Parents(students) have to give milk or change diaper or change baby's position.2 guys are taking care of the girl babies and 1 girl is taking care of a boy baby.The guys looked funny with the babies.Because they are "today's teenager boys".But it was so sweet.
I like this assignment. It's very valuable for me.But I have a little fear for the pregnancy.Well,I would like to have some children someday.But I have a lot of things to do and to study,before I get a child.I'm thinking about my future now.It's so wonderful and difficult for me.
Anyway,the only thing that I can do now is doing my best in canada!That's it,right?

The morning's temperature was 4c. It's not so bad. However I was wearing my school uniform and felf colder than usually because school uniform was not thick enough. Why did i wear my school uniform??? Because today was picture REtake day(I missed last picture's day). Momoyama's school uniform is my formal dress now. I liked to wear them. Haliburton highlands secondary school doesn't have school uniform(but they has sports clothes and club jackets).
By the way,there was a big problem with my skirt. Actually I had problem with ME. The skirt was quite tight. I'm sure I gained weight in canada. I was really upset you know. I like canadian food of course,but I love japanese food! Sometimes canadian food are too heavy for me and boring. Why? Because always pasta,potates,same vegetables,meets,and only 2 kinds of FISH,salmon and cob. Oh,but please remember,Sue is very very very good at cooking foods. I'm sure I am having most great meals in canada in momoyama-kokusai-B-class. Just,,,you know,I'm dying from missing japanese foods.
Anyway,school was fine. I made a picture at 3rd priod. It took only 10 mins. As soon as taken a picture,i went back to the art class. At 4th priod,i enjoyed playing volleyball again.
I need to do sports more and more. Or I won't be able to wear my school uniform again. Well.it's so hard. Oh man!!

YES!! I've kept the promise. It's still "today"(actually 12 o'clock now,,,). Today was busy,there ware alot of things to do.
In the morning,i went to the haliburton ice arena to ice skating with Sue,kids,and Alejandro. It was very fun. I met a high school teacher,hahaha. After lunch,I took a short nap and did my homework from the art class and it haven't finished yet.
Sue's friend Andrea,her son Paydon,her 3 years old daughter Maicy came Halimar to have dinner with us. They are from Bonnie View Inn(a resort next to Halimar). Paydon is 7 and kids' best friend. I see him on the school bus. He is very friendly and funny boy. The dinner was pasta and was great.
Then,I was invited by Jan to watch the ice hocky game in the arena. I had never watched ice hocky game before. Jan made first goal. The game was so exciting and scary,because the pot(actually i didn't know that the pot is called POT) made big sounds when it was hit to the walls and glasses. Alejandro was always laughing me becouse I was always scared by pot's big sounds!! Anyway it was finished at 9:30. And Jan's team won(7-6)!! I like to watch games again!!

Mareike?? Do you like these pictures? If you miss this telephone booth and the view,just look these pictures! These are my gifts for you. Enjoy (^^)/

Today,i got up at 9 and took a shower. We have about 10 guests this weekend. And it's not so busy.
After my breakfast,i helped to clean up the kitchen. Then,after that,I did my homework. Homework wasn't hard. Because it's from art class. I just need quiet room and some time. I made a good start. BUT!! Soon,the kids came my room and started playing. They were interested in my painting tools. So i gave up painting and started playing with them. We played Kicker for a while. Jacob vs. Lucas & me. Jacob is very good at playing Kicker. It's little bit hard to beat him. 2 o'clock,Sue called them for the lunch. That means I am FREE!!
I renewed my picture. I'll show you when it's finished. I finished sketch in this afternoon. I'll put colors tonight if i can.
On tomorrow's new post,you will see some pictures. I'm sure maybe you won't understand what the pictures mean. But,the pictures are for only one person,who was working here,at Halimar. So,please excuse me. Because I miss her so much. Because she will like the pictures. Good night everybody!!

I'm sorry. But I didn't have time to put on new post yesterday. Because Sue was always online even after dinner. Because she had a lot of computer working. Because she has been to Mexico for a week.

Yesterday was cloudy and sometimes we had rain. School was ok but our ice hocky team had a big game with I.E Weldon high school ice hocky team. So each class was only 40mins (but lunch time was 1 hour,it's so weard for me). School finished at 1 o'clock. However I didn't go to watch the game and was not allowed to go to the town. I was staying in the cafeteria about 3 hours with my friend. Actually I didn't want to study,so we began to play the Hangman Game. It was very funny and also good to kill time. We made 12 hangmans. The hardest word was "why" because this word doesn't have any vowels. My friend took a lot of time to solve and I gave her many clues. Sometimes to give clues is so hard. Because I can't say a answer. Well,,,it doesn't make sense. Anyway I had nice time.

It's rainy today but is not cold outside. The school is pretty nomal,except I am carring a egg!! Yesterday in the parenting class. I got a egg(it's real!) to study about pregnancy. My egg is a boy. And my friend's are boy and girl(twins!!). I was so suprised because I thought the teacher was just joking. But she wasn't. I couldn't stop laughing during I was telling this story to my friends who are working in my house(because my hostparents are managing a resort which is called Halimar). Yeah,I must not show the egg to the kids. Why not? Because I'm sure they can't keep it in safe for only 5 seconds.
The school bus was like a zoo,you know.

We had very nice dinner again,but not like always. Because it was Mareike's last dinner in Halimar. We had some chinese food and talked a lot. But I can't believe. She has been here since last may. We spent such a wonderful time together. I'm sure i'll miss her soooo soooo soooo much. She gave me a book,Memoirs of a Geisha with a really sweet bookmaker. Oh,and also she gave me a plant because there are no enough space in her suitcase. She is leaving tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock. I've watched a lot of people caming and leaving. Now my turn is coming soon. Long trip can change a person. And you will find good friends and not important friends(this was said by Mareike)!!!

Very light sunday morning. Kids went to friend's birthday party.
I was doing my homework and study for tomorrow's art test and taking a short nap during they were gone. They came back at 8:30 with their parents,Sue and Jan.
Sue and Jan looked tired for me but I'm sure they were so happy to see their children again. Now sue is talking about the vacation.

Wow,I can't believe the snow yet. But it's normal for canadian of course. But!!! I'm from south Osaka,there are no snow in the witer,and i'm so excited!! However I don't like this cold. Cold makes my neck stiff. Well,,,anway,it's still beginning.
We had nice breakfast because it's saturday today. I cooked japanese style egg dish,tamago-yaki(japanese omelet). Tamago means egg in japanese and yaki is cook. I named it The Egg Roll because I rolled egg on a pan. It was good but i need practice. Taste was ok but appearance was so so.
Before we went to the kids' ice hocky,we had a big problem with the car. The car battery was empty. Mareike called jan's sister and she arrived by her car after 20mins. She connected a plug to the cars. Then finaly,the car was worked!! We were 10mins late for the ice hocky,but it was not so bad.
Lonely dinner. Kids and mareike have gone to kids' grandparents' house for dinner. Anyway,I had to make my dinner. I've wished to eat niku-jaga for a looong time. So I made it!! Oh,I was so happy. I ate japanese dishes twice today. What do I miss? Of couese it's japanese food!!
By the way,niku-jaga means beef and potatos. But there are also some vagetables,carrots,onions,and peas. It's seasoned with sugar,sake,and soy sauce. Oh man,I forgot to take pictures!!!

Beautiful morning. Snow everywhere.
School was like normal. In the English class,we are reading the play "the crucible". This is about which hunting. We say 'majo-gari' in japanese. I've seen the crucible play once in Toronto and was interesting.
And today's gym was very good. I did archely and enjoyed playing volleyball. Volleyball was sweet because there are no crazy guys. But there are only 5 people,it was not enough for a game. So,we made a big circle and passed a ball each other. It reminded me about my junior high school days. Don't you think this is so sweet?
The dinner was great too. I had japanese rice. Oh,it's so nice eh? I miss japanese rice soooooo much! How can I live without japanese rece??? Mareike likes it too.
Well,it's friday night,so I sooo tired. I can'r open my eyes any more,so,GOOD NIGHT.

Snow today. When I left home to get the school bus,it started snowing. It wasn't taken long time to cover everything with snow. I was so excited because my home town has no snow in winter. But it's crazy cold for me anyway.
School was ok except volleyball in the gym class. There were two group,A and B for the atchery. I was in group A. When B was playing archery,we had to play volleyball. But some stupid boys started to play dodge ball with 5 balls and they were so strong. They were looked heated. I really didn't like that. Of course the teacher got angry with us. So we had to keep sitting for 10mins. It's so stupid. I felt sore about this of course.
We had very early dinner today because kids had to go to the ice hocky practice. We left home at 5 o'clock after very very nice dinner(mareike is so good at cooking). The kids practiced very hard and it was good. There are about 20 kids and they seemed about 5 years old. They were so funny and cute coz they always(once in 5 seconds!) fell down. but I think they enjoyed falling down! haha.

Nothing special. I went to the school like always. The bus was full of kids kids kids!!
In the gym class,I played volleyball. It was so fun! I would like to play again! But we will do archery tomorrow,it's fine anyhow. Oh,and my gym teacher gave me some chocolate for halloween. It was neat.
On the school bus,I was in a littel trouble. A girl who is in grade 6 took my backpack,then she started to look for something. It was not first time. I said her that give it back to me. But of course she didn't listen. She finally found my wallet. Well,she is a kind of selfish. But shi's ok I think. I can still excuse her.
After I got home,there is my hostfather's sister. I don't know that she likes me or not. But it's no big deal.
At 5 o'clock,we left home to go to KARATE(of course for kids). Kids were not very good. I think kids have to listen. They never listen.
Dinner was so good. Mareike did very very good job! It was salmon and rice.
