I think this post gonna be very last post which is typed in Canada.

Today I spent nice and slow time. My school bus friend, Shannon came to see me. I was really glad and gave her my SENSU. She loved it so much. We didn't say good bye, but SEE YOU AGAIN! Yeah,I'm sure we'll see again. Because I'll come back here to say hi again to all the people.
Tonight's big event was Jan's brother, Lotz and his girlfriend, Tina's concert. It was so lovely. At the last, they sang my favorite song, Got Life again. I was really surprised because I was wishing that they sing that song for tha last. After the concert, I got the CD, so It gonna be very good memory...
The concert was held in the high school. There were lots of Haliburton people, and I knew some people. I talked with Eda who was my hostfamily for 14 days and Airean who is a housekeeper at Halimar. I like them so much. We talked alot and hugged each other.

Well,,, I have nothing to say any more. I'm in my mind now. Bunch of memories are passing in my head... I just want to say THANKS FOR EVERYTHING. GOOD LUCK ON EVERYBODY ON THE WORLD.

Having places to come back is so great. Because there are somebody who loves you.

I'm in the school now. Last night I was baking lots of cookies to give the classmates. Which means today is the really last school day in Canada. I've already said thanks and good-bye to many people by now. Oh my, I wish I could stay here a little bit more,,,sigh.
Oh, and also today is the last day I can see Alejandro (he is leaving for Quebec on Thursday morning.). I'll have said bye to all the staff I have met at Halimar. M'm, nobody (I mean no staff) has seen me off. (><)/" I've been packing since last Monday. But you know,,, if you don't want to go back, it doesn't speed up.

I had really good and emotional conversation with Deby in this morning. We were talking about lots of topics; my feeling, places to go, Deby's family & my family, my future, and so on. But we had to leave there earlier to go to Jacob & Lucas's hockey, so our conversation was not so long. When I left there, Deby gave me hugs and kisses, and I couldn't stop crying. Oh! How many hundreds times should I say "I wish I could stay here more and more"??? On the way to Haliburton, I was saying good bye to many things in my heart as listening the song, How to save a life (nice song,,,).
We met Jan, his sister Inga, his brother Lotz, and Lotz's girl friend when we got to the ice arena. I haven't met Lotz (& his girlfriend too) before. He is a singer song writer, and he is as tall as Jan. After kids' hokey, we went to Mackecks to have lunch.
When I got home, it was around 4. I saw Alejandro at the TV corner and we went to cross country skiing together. Today's weather was awesome. I was really feeling good in the woods.
Now I'm alone in this big house and it is making me lonely. People have gone to the bar North Woods. Maybe they are enjoying dancing and Karaoke there.I wish I could enjoy dancing (my dancing is not horrible any more!), singing, and nice chatting with them here.
Oops!! Alejandro has just come back! He says North Woods was really boring tonight.

It was pretty cold today. I woke up at 9 and had breakfast with the kids.
Around 11 o'clock, we headed to the COSTCO. We didn't buy so many things there. I got my pictures which are from the last year. I haven't checked out them yet because it's in the car now, but I'm so excited! You can see some of them on this blog.
After COSTCO, we went to the dollar store, the variety store, and DANIER which is a store selling the leather things. Actually I didn't buy leather thing at DANIER, but something. Sorry I can't tell you now what I got there and the reason why I can't tell.
Anyway after those, we went to the BEST BUY which sells electrical appliances, 'cause Sue had to drop off her broken digital camera. We were staying there for a while as watching new i-pods, DVDs&CDs, and liquid crystal TVs. I found the DVD, Walk in the Line there. Long time before, Mareike told me about this movie. The picture looked nice, and I'm interested in that movie. I'll watch it in Japan!
As we really hangry, we headed to the restaurant, MONTANA. There was decorated with Western things, like horse&cowboy pictures, moose's head, and lots of ool things. Those were really nice, and also the food was great. I think that was the REAL traditional American food. Which doesn't mean coke, French fries with ketchup and MacDonald's hamburgers. We had nice salads, ribs, chicken, and one more GREAT food. Oh men, I can't remember the name for the most important one! There were melted cheese, onion, chicken, and great spice between the bread. But the bread was not made of wheat flour and suger,,,,,, I mean the bread tasted PIZZA!! Anyway, it was already 4 o'clock when we finished the lunch.
We came back to Deby's house at 6. While 2 hours, we've been some place. About for an hour, we have been in the barbershop. Jacob and Lucas got hair cut there. They look much handsome now than before (before, they were CUTE, hahaha)!! After that, we went to the grocery store to buy some foods for us and the store which sells used hockey tools.
After we got Deby's house and had small dinner, Sue's mother came. She took many pictures of the kids. And they(Sue's mother, Deby and her husband) have gone to a party! Also Sue has gone to her friend's birthday party.
So, now, there are only me! Because the kids are sleeping. Hopefully they sleep until tomorrow morning, hahaha. Anyway I'm relaxing my time now.

I'm in Sue's sister, Beby's house now. I've got here at about 8 o'clock.
Actually I could stay at the home. But I wanted to say good-bye and thank you to Sue's family so much. I don't want to believe that this is the last time to see them. They are really really nice and kind people. Well,,, it might not be last time 'cause I'll come back again, for sure. My heart is full of the sadness which is not bad.

By the way, it's getting really cold again. It was -27c yesterday. I can't even feel cold but painful! And even here has snow.
Oh! One great thing. I'm using HIGH SPEED INTERNET now!!! Ahhhhhhh~ it's soooooo awesome! And also this compurter has Japanese! So I'm having really good time,hahaha.
I checked the movies that you can watch in Japan. I really want to watch "Ohoku". It looks crazy cool, hahaha. And "Kurai tokoro de mati awase (See you in the dark)". This story was written by Otsuichi whose all books are awfuly exciting! I have his book which is titled GOTH. I felt drawn toward his working when I read that book at first.

Tomorrow, we are going to shopping to buy foods for Halimar. Maybe I'll be able to buy some gifts for my family and friends. And we will have a nice dinner (^^)

Alejandro and I enjoyed cross country skying yesterday and today. Halimar has very awesome trail in the woods. It's very easy (because even I can do it.) and fun. But today, I fell down so many times. Also, when I was Curling today, I fell down so violently.
Sue have been home since yesterday. Halimar have become cheerful and lively again!

Have you ever watched the movie, Pirates of the Caribbean? I watched it the day before yesterday. It was very funny specially the beginning. But the story wasn't done. I have to wait the 3rd one (><)
Then last night, I watched another movie, Center Stage. It's one of my favorites! If anybady have watched this movie, please let me know!! Because few people know this movie, this movie isn't so famous.
Now, I'm watching really famous and good movie, Forest Gump.

We went to watch Jan's hokey game. He did really good job and made a goal! But you know,,, let him alone tonight.....XP

I'm already sad, Kuni-chan. Saying good bye is so sad for me. I've made really really good KIZUNA(s) here in Canada. If KIZUNA is weak and small, saying good bye is not so hard and sad.

Jan has got some documents from MLI today. It's about new student from Momoyama. We've just read it now. I wish she likes here as much as I love here!
I hope Mr.Walsh told the kokusai-b class students about this blog. I can answer your questions about studying in Canada, Haliburton, Toronto, life style, and things to take with you.

Sigh,,, Alejandro is laughing right beside by me as watching the tv show, FRIENDS. It's very funny tv show and I used to laugh. But now,,, my heart is blue. Why? Because I'm leaving here in 15 days (><)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jan thought no school today. ME TOO. Because the school bus didn't come until 7:45!!!! Which means we were waiting the bus for 30 minutes at the outside! We were frozen.
I went to the school anyway and it was ok, nothing special. But we went to Curling at 4th period! It was good experience for me 'cause it was my first time. But I'm not interested in Curling. I know it's hard and need practice.
After school was good. I played with the kids with snow for a while and helped the kitchen (just 8 outside guests!), and ate an apple pie!

Yay, snow again! It has been snowing since last night.
Today was the school day (unfortunately), by the way. The classes were ok. But I have bunch of things to do. Studying, homework, homework...... Sigh. English class is sucks because I have to make looong essay about the novel, The Crucible.
Oh yeah, listen! I'm gonna go to the Curing club tomorrow. It's from Gym class. I didn't think Curing is sport before, hahaha. I'm just kidding! Have you done Curing before???

I went to Molou (which is the great Haliburton's great theater) to watch the movie, Casino Royal with Alejandro. Yesterday, Jan and Sue watched same movie and Jan said 'it's boring 'cause too many actions and then nothing." after he got to home. But I think it's ok. Actually it's fresh and I liked it! If I know gamble thing (poker?), I could enjoy the movie more and more.
In the cab to the house, I was in tiny trouble. The seat belt didn't work! I think I looked really strange in the back seat,hahaha (><;) Because I was keep giving uneasy movements.

Wooo,,, It's 4 o'clock in the morning and I can't believe it. It's terrible!!
I went to the bed 4 hours ago but I couldn't sleep at all. I tried to sleep as reading a book but it didn't work on me. ,,,Sigh. Unfortunately it's not unusual for me. I think I need the excises,hahahaaaa (><;)

Last night was not good. Because both Jacob and Lucas(!) had growing feet and both Jan and Sue was gone.
At first Jacob came down to me and he was ok because he wasn't crying. I was massaging his leg for a while and I took him to kids' bed room.
When I opened the door, I heard Lucas' crying. I was at a loss because I didn't know that Lucas has growing feet then. I tried to take care of him but he didn't stop crying easily. I thought to make a phone call to Sue's cell phone. But Alejandro was pretty cool and told me that I don't have to make a phone call to Sue and he also told me that let Lucas alone. He was completely right.
Sigh,,, I have to be thoughtful more and more.

In the afternoon, we (Jan, kids, I and Alejandro today!) played hockey like yesterday. It was 5 degree and we were so hot! The game was hot too (and fun). I wish I could take field hockey class in Japan because I'm interested in playing hockey (not just to watch).

Hey, Kuni-chan! Are you having a lot of fun?? That's so awesome (^u^*)/" If it's not raining tomorrow, we'll go skiing again! But,,, supposed to be raining tomorrow.

I got up really late today, like 10:40. But it was ok because we had only 6 guests in this morning. After I've finished to wash dishes, we enjoyed to watch the ice hockey game (the world hockey junior championship) on TV.
Canada vs U.S.!! It was really exciting game. They had the over game and shootout. When Canada won, we yelled.
Soon, we went to the outside to play hockey at the tennis court. Lucas+Jan vs Jacob+me!! We all tried to be Canada and the game was always close. We had 2 games but my team lost both games (score were 20-19 and 10-9, weren't it good games?).
It was already 3:30 when we went back to the house with empty stomachs, so we had big lunch (early dinner?). After the meal, I was too lazy to move,hahaha. So I was taking a nap and watching the movie, Deep Impact in my room.

Happy new year! Great 2006 have gone and another great one have begun. My feeling is so fresh now. How was your new year's eve and the first day of 2007?
My new year's eve, yesterday was,,,,,,

Dec 31 : O misoka (new year's eve)
I got up at 8:30 and called my family. After while I started talking with my mother, Kou Haku Uta Gassen was over and she told the winner to me. It was Shiro-gumi, the White team. But I didn't feel anything because I couldn't enjoy it. She also told me the host and the hostess. It were Nakama Miyuki and Nakai ~ (Oh men!! I forget his name. But he is a member of the famous group, SMAP). Anyway!!! At 10 o'clock am, 2007 have come to Japan. It was so strange, you know.
I was talking for 2 hours. After calling, I started helping the kitchen. Andrew came 2 hours earlier than always because we were serving special big dinner. I helped to make special desserts. But I was really sleepy then 'cause I slept late the last night and got up early for the phone calls. So I took a nap for 2 or 3 hours and it was great for me.
When I went down to the kitchen after napping, first serving has just started. It was the busiest kitchen EVER BEFORE. Mackenzie's parents (Sue's friends), Andrew's wife, and Nicola also helped. Alejandro was doing Salads and helping Andrew as doing washing the dirty cooking tools. I was also doing dishes as doing desserts for 41 guests.
Everyone was busy. But when Alejandro and I was cleaning the kitchen (after crazy), other people were enjoying Karaoke with some guests. Well,,,that was ok.
At 11:30 I went to my room to take a quick shower and to get dress. I dressed with my new black dress which Sue gave me as a present before. I came down to the dining room at 12:58 and watched the fireworks with everyone. The fireworks was beautiful but it was rainy then. Jan was taking care of them but he said it was the worst.
So,2007!! We were having nice time until 2 o'clock. Singing, dancing, drinking, talking, and taking the pictures... I was drinking orange juice, by the way, hahaha. Oh! And I was dancing(!!) with somebody, hahaha. Actually I was dancing with some guests who were came from London, England. They were completely drunk. But they could remember my name. By the way I do remember their names too. Nick, Richard, and Peter. In fact I CAN'T DANCE AT ALL. But they didn't care. I think it was because they were really drunk. Anyway it was fun actually! Nick, he is 17 and we were talking until after the party was over.
During the party, I was missing my family and Japan so much. But Sue, her sister Debby, Alejandro were concerning me. I was so glad. Actually Alejandro always makes me laugh. So,,, it was good new year's eve! Happy new year (again,haha) !!
