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.

.......so THANK YOU VERY MUCH:)!!!!!!!!!
