PRECIOUS TIME AT ROTORUA

Unfortunately (fortunately???) I had been sick and ascent from school 

for 3 days of the last week of term2.

While I was in my home, I sleep a lot and also I finished a massive amount of Kosei homework 

which would check at Rotorua school camp.

On the first day of the holiday, I went to Hasting village to get on a private bus to go to Rotorua.

There were 5 Japanese friends, including me and when I met them, I couldn't help screaming.

I sat with my close friends Natsu and went though the winding road, 

without stop talking even we talked only English.

awwww scary pic.....haha

We stopped at Taupo to take a rest and have lunch.

Natsuki and me<3333333333

Natsuki and I went to the Japanese restaurant because we really missed Japanese food.

I ate Udon and Natsuki ate Gyu-don which tasted far from real one but still they were good.

When we arrived at Rotorua, there were already some girls who live in New Plymouth.

Of course we screamed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!haha

Then all girls who live in Hamilton and Tauranga gathered.

All KGGS 10th member gathered for the first time since we came to nz.

As soon as we gathered, we had to take a mock test which is called EIKEN.

I got suitable result at that test which was full of regletable 

and I realised what I have to do from now on.

At the next day, all girls took the same test which is called TOEFL junior.

I felt my English skill is improving in this test, though I can't be satisfied about that.

At night, we slept in the creaky bunk beds which was so hard and annoying to move.
We stayed up late to talk even we had to stay in the different room:(haha

I had to take 3 tests in this camp but we had a only time to have fun at the 3rd day.

We went to the Tepuia national park at first of that day and I saw very beautiful source of hot springs.

IDK why did we do such a weird posing...haha

To tell the truth, I had been there before when I went to nz for my Japanese school trip.

We finished the luxury buffet lunch, having a beautiful whole Rotorua view on the hill.

Then we went to ride on Luge which was sooooooooooooooooooooo much fun<3333333

Almost all girls wanted to go to the hardest course but we couldn't, 

because we had never ridden before. So I rode twice at last.

We are waiting in a loooooong line, looked excited though xxx

To my surprised, when I finished the first time I met Ink, First and Rosie just in front of the gate.

I was so surprised and screamed unconsciously, like "WOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!" then I heard Ink's familiar word "OH MY GOOOOOOOSH".

So funny aye:)haha

The fun time passed so quickly and we went back to the hostel.

In the afternoon, we should have a time for decision express but some students felt that member of KGGS10th will not have a successful remaining half year. 

So they talked about what they thought to all girls and we asked teachers to have the time to discuss.

Almost all people talked with their pair deeply ever and they told what they had thought which was very very good as a member of KGGS.

Next morning, we had to say Good bye and went to each places where we live now.

Only time sharing with girls was just breakfast so every one looked strange and sad, including me.

The time to say Good bye came and of course everyone cried 

but also we got the confidence to do our best in the remaining half year.

On the bus, it was incredibly quiet even though Natsuki sat next to me.

Maybe everyone was thinking about what we would do not to regret when we go back to Japan,

 and in order to do so what should we do from now on.

I reflect on what I had done since I came to nz and then I decided what I would do, 

so it was very precious time for me.

As soon as I arrived at Hastings, I was missing all of my KGGS member soooooo bad:((((

but also my mom Edwina said she had been missing me....♡haha

Anyway, I had very very very good time in Rotorua.

I have just 4months left at WH.

This is unchangeable fact.

So all I have to do is to think how to enjoy this life as much as I can.

UNIQUE EXPERIENCE

In this month, I had lots of unique experiences and they became my precious memories as well:)♡

As my first experience, I had Mother's Day in NZ for the fist time ever.

I sent cards to my mom in Japan and my host mom in Clive.

When they got my cards, they seemed to be glad and they sent massages to me.

I made OKONOMIYAKI which is very popular Japanese food to Edwina and I gave her a card.

I was a bit sad not to meet my mom in Mother's day but still this day was fabulous!

#bring back our girls#

On 14th of May, all WH students put green ribbon on our school uniform and took pictures 

together and each other for some Nigerian girls.

I knew about this article to do scrapping a day before 14th so I really surprised 

that WH cooperated this case to take pictures.

I think my Japanese school wouldn't do that so I was so glad to join this big affair.

I hadn't been in hit-it class before because I had my guitar lesson on the same time 

but my lesson time changed and this day, I experienced unique NZ (WH???haha) class.

A woman who works at facial shop came and she taught us 

how to keep our face good condition and we tried sample products a lot.

The other day, hair and makeup artist came and she taught us cute hair style a lot.

Some students tried hair chalk and they mede their hair colourful. 

The school is a place where we study, isn't it????haha

Of course all students seemed excited but also teachers as well.

I can't imagine that we learned about beauty at school in Japan so I was really surprised this day

 and also I was really glad to have this awesome hit-it class.

On 15th of May, I went to Napier gallery for history trip with some classmates.

We watched the exhibition of Jewish and after that, we ate lunch together at that gallery.

I ate hush cake and it was incredibly delicious♡

I haven't tried before so I was so happy to know that there is such a grate food in this world!haha

On 17th of May, the CROSS COUNTRY was held at WH.

At first, I was so nervous because Ink told we have to run 3km and this is horrible event

but actually, I went into mud, tunnel, and climbed muddy hill and they were so much fun:)!!!!!!!

To run a lot was certainly hard though:(haha

Joah put mud on my face and a girl splashed dirty water to me, 

and my sports were became such beautiful!hahahha

We can do cross country at my school in Japan because we don't have hill, bush, grass and mud.

So the first experience of cross country was amazing for me!

Few days later, I ate fish and chips for dinner.

I know it's not healthy but it was so yum and nice memory!

On 19th of May, I got a little package from Japan that my friends sent.

There are lots kind of cute rice crackers in it.

I tried them with Edwina and she was moved with Japanese hospitality.

I sent a post card for a little thanks to the girl who sent me he present.

Also I played touch rugby in PE class, I joined netball club and I did accompaniment for junior choir.

I'll challenge everything that I have opportunity to do  and I'll enjoy this whole year:)!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Hastings heaps♡

LOVELY HOLIDAY

In this holiday, I had a lot of things to do thanks to Edwina and my friends.

As the first memory, I had my birthday party at the first day of holiday and my friend

 and Edwina's friends came to my house to have dinner together.

I got 4 presents at that time even though I got so many presents already.

At the end of dinner time, they sang a birthday song for me and ate a chocolate cake together that Edwina made as a surprise and it made me sooooooooooooooo happy:)

In the next week, I stayed Ink's host family's house for a night to celebrate Ink's birthday.

We went to Thai restaurant and ate very yum though that was my first time to go to Thai restaurant and also we ate her birthday cake that her host mother prepared as a surprise.

Ink seemed to be happy and I became happy too:)

There are two cats, a dog, a bird, 3D TV and recording studio in her host family's house 

so I really enjoyed this staying.

As you know, Ink likes to cook so we made coffee muffin together.
Ink wasn't satisfied to make them because some of them burned but fortunately, I really like burned (not scorch!!!!haha) things because they are sweet-smelling so muffins were so delicious for me:)

Also we watched 3D movie that was about a cat story and played the guitar and piano together!

The recording studio was wonderful because there were so many professional machine and I could use them!!!!!!!! besides, host father said you should come when ever you want!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I decided to practise the piano and guitar hard and I'll do a recording in his studio.

I can't wait~:)♪

On 19th, I went to Havelock North Village by Edwina's bike to see my friends:)

We talked a lot and it made me positive.

In the afternoon, I went to Napier to see my friends to study together and have dinner together by bus.

It took about a hour (soooooooo long.....) because it had to stop all bus stops

 but I could watch a lot of places in Hawks Bay.

This visit also made me positive.

At the next day, I went to Taradale to meet my close friend, Natsu♡

We decided not to meet before this holiday when we were in Japan so we screamed to be able to meet  even though the time when we met was early in the morning:)hahaha

We made a Japanese food, Chirashi-zushi for lunch and we ate, sitting on the swing in her garden 

and talked a lot because we hadn't met for a long time.

After that, we went to the hill and played on a natural hill slide like children 

and took a lot of photos for our memory.

The happy time passed so fast....

We had to say good-bye but we decided to meet in this holiday again

............ It was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good:)))))))))

This was wonderful movie and I decided to read a book that 

Edwina gave me for

In the next next week, Aimee and Daniel who are Edwina's grandchildren came to my place
by bus for taking about 3 hours and they stayed for 4 nights.
Little monkeys were so noisy:(haha even though at the dinner table but thanks to them,
I could have a funny and happy time:)

The next day, Ink came to stay in my place and eventually, she stayed for 3 nights.

We went to so many places together such as Bird Woods, Havelock North Village,
 Arataki Honey Shop and a big park in Hastings for a dog.

at Bird Woods:) 

Joah who is Edwina's friend has a cute dog whose name is Lulu.

I really like her but unfortunately, she seemed to dislike me:(

Little monkeys climbed the tree as soon as they found a tree even though a tree was too tall to climbed and I and Ink took a lot of pictures.

I think Ink is very good at art, especially photo and fortunately, she gave me lots of photos.
Thanks to them, I could make many precious memories.







At the last day of Ink's staying, Edwina took Ink to her next host family's house and I and little monkeys prepared to go to Hamilton because Edwina was going to took Aimee and Daniel to their house and also to stay at her son's house with little monkeys in Hamilton,
besides I was going to stay Karen's house who is my best friend in Hamilton.

We got on the Edwina's car for 5 hours to go to Hamilton.
On the way to Hamilton, little monkeys were always arguing and Edwina told them off:(haha
Anyway, thanks to them we had a good time in a car.

This night, I arrived Hamilton at about 18:00 and met Karen at last.
I was so moved to meet her because I hadn't met her since January also she seemed to be moved.
We ate dinner that Karen's host mother-Becky made first.
To my delight, Becky is Chinese so I could eat beautiful Asian meal
such as miso-soup, cutlet, and cooked bok choy.
After dinner, I and Karen and Becky went to night market and I drank yum mango smoothy
that Karen really recommended me to buy.

In the next morning, I went to Hamilton Garden with Karen and took a lot of photos.

Then, we went to the Vase shopping mole that looked like Japanese one because there were so large.
I have been just Hawks Bay before at this time so I couldn't believe that NZ has such a big shop!  sorry kiwi people♡.......haha

Before going to bed, I talked about our hardships a lot and it was very good time for each other.

To stay in Hamilton was just for 2nights but I had so many precious memory there.
I really appreciate all people who helped me to have a time in Hamilton.

I and Edwina got on a car for 3hours and went back to Hastings
and entered our quiet house because there weren't noisy funny monkeys.
I was a little lonely but Edwina seemed to be tired so having quite time was necessary for her.






I and Edwina had a quiet but lazy days for a while.

Then, I met more than 5 Friends at Hastings.

At first, I met Moeko, Madoka, Kao and Natsume at Hastings.
We bought lunch and went to Corn Wall Park to have a picnic.
Our decision that is to have a picnic was so good because the park was beautiful and also we can't experience to have such a good time in Japan.

I had a funny time with them♡

On May 2nd, I met Natsu again and she came to my house in this time.
We made Japanese lunch again, played the piano together, went to horse racing
 to do some exercises and talked a lot:)

We made them~♪hahaha

Incidentally, we wore the same top that we bought in Japan to go to Disney land to wear the twin!

At that night, I and Natsu and Edwina went to cinema to watch "Divergent".

............ It was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good:)))))))))

It was wonderful movie and I decided to read a book that Edwina gave me for my birthday present.

So now, I'm reading "Divergent" before going to bed:)

Anyway, I was just soooooooooooooooo glad to see her again!
Also we decided to meet again in May weekend
 so I'm so looking forward to meeting her and I can't wait!





My first holiday in nz was awesome thanks to so many people.

THE EXTINCTION OF JAPANESE WOLF

This is Japanese wolf that became extinct.

This is smaller descendants of grey olvs and

they were plentiful in the country of Japan.

They have a small body than other kinds of wolves which live in except Japan 

however they have a really strong leg strength.

Also their fur change the colour by each season because 

they have to adapt to surroundings

Their population began to decrease in 1732, when rabbits

 first reported in Kyushu and Shikoku,was introduced to the area they inhabited. 

It affected different wolf populations all through the nineteenth century.

 Most argue that it was humans that brought the virus to Japan, 

trying to kill the wolves on purpose.

 It is also believed that local domestic dogs in the regions may 

have transported the disease.

 The last known specimen died in 1905, in Nara prefecture.

The definition of "extinction" is that the animal can't be seen for 50 years

so Japanese Wolf became extinct.

As you know, almost reason of extinct is because of human.

Revival of extinct animal is impossible but we can make an effort

t not to wipe endangered species exterminate and also 

we mustn't have a bad effect on all living things on the Earth 

because of the selfish human reasons.

SCHOOL BALL

On March 14th, we had a school ball.

I was really looking forward to joining it because there is no school ball in Japan.

On this day, school finished before lunch time so I and Kozue and Ink

 went to Traleenah's house to prepare for the ball.

We had about 5 hours until the ball so at first, we walked to Havelock North Village to have lunch.

I and Kozue and Ink went to Mcdonald to eat lunch and spend time 

because Traleenah had to go to the hairdressing salon to do a hair styling for the ball.

Her hair was amazing and I wanted to do like her but my hair is too short to do

and I regretted that I cut my hair before coming here.

However, Ink did my hair styling fortunately and thanks to her, my hair became special!haha

Also Ink really wanted to curl her hair but it was too late to reserve the hairdressing salon

therefore she looked really disappointed to see Traleenah's hair.

On the way to come back from village, 

we saw some year12 students who did makeup and hair styling.

They were incredibly beautiful although they wore school uniform.

When we got house, we started to make us up, wear our dress and also put high-heeled shoes on.

I thought that to put on makeup would finish for about 30 minutes 

but actually, it took about a hour.

Then, we went to pre-ball by Mrs,Ellis's car.

When we arrived the venue and I got off the car, I felt nervous because there were

 already so many year12 students. 

I got off the car and I became speechless at the sight becausethere were lots of incredibly

 beautiful girls like a Hollywood.

I took lots lots lots of pictures with Hollywood stars and they are my precious memories:)

cute Kozue♥!!!!!hahaha

with Ink♥

Then we got on a bus and went to the ball.

At first, we had dinner.

I ate spicy lamb and sweet pavlova for dinner and they were delicious!

After dinner, we moved to a decorated hall and danced a lot.

There was a band and they played old songs so thanks to them, we were in full swing.

Hollywood!!!!!hahaha

Hollywood!!!!!!!!!!hahahahahaha

It was soooooooooooooooooooo fun night!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was really happy to join the ball:)
