Coming of Age Day

In general, Coming of Age Day is January 14th this year. In my home town, Coming of Age ceremony was held in January 13th.
Today, I wore red Furisode which is one of Kimono having long sleeve. I made up my face a little thicker than usual. My mother and younger sister said to me " who are you? You are like another person!" what did it mean...? It was rare opportunity to were Furisode. My grandfather whose hobby is taking pictures took a lot of my pictures. I felt I were a fashion model.
At the ceremony, I met many friends who went to same junior high school. Girls became beautiful women. I couldn't define who he or she was because I met them since we graduated from junior high.
After the ceremony, we had a drinking party with junior high school members. The girl on the right side of right picture planned the party. About 100 people joined it. I was surprised that some of friends had already worked in social, one boy had his child, one girl was a lover of one boy and so on.
Although we became adults and we are in several situation, we have been friends. I really want to get along with them and remember in youth (u_u*)

Over the final a month

I noticed that I would be in an air plane this time next month. Thinking that makes me count down many things unconsciously. For example, meeting someone in _ times, being somewhere in _times, and so on. Today, I informed friends studying abroad on "mixi".

"Mixi" is like a blog only in Japanese. Almost all of my friends have several account. We can know others recent situation from them. I'm not a ready writer, I post new one once in a while. Someday I will introduce this blog to my Japanese friends. If I write something about Australia, I will post this blog first to train English skills. Then, I plan to write both in English and Japanese for readers.

A Happy New Year!

I feel that the time flies very fast. 2008 comes! This year must be different from usual.

Today, I went to Kanazakura shrine where I have been since last year. Naturally, I prayed for God that... It's secret. It is better not to tell a wish to others to come true. After prayer, I tried to draw a fortune slip. But there is no box of it. It was too late to go there.
I tend to believe fortunetelling. So I really mind about fortune. However, I decided not to go to the shrine again or other shrines to draw a fortune slip. I reconsider that it may be good for me not to think fortune. Sometimes, I'm apt to be influences by other's opinions. What I could think like that may be a lesson from God!

Yes, one of what I would like to achieve this year is to have positive thinking!
