The Final: Travel Project-Hawaii,Honolulu
Cost: $145
Description: Cylindrical 14-story Hotel located across street from Waikiki Beach & close to Diamond Head & Honolulu Zoo.
Queen Emma Summer Palace: It is not popular sight seeing spot so it is hard to find it in the guide books. It is unique place to visit. You can study history of Hawaii from this Palace. You can see inside of the house and you can imagine that how the Royal families in Hawaii lived in that days. I like studying history so I chose this place to visit. Especially, I love watching historical buildings. I thought it can be a good chance to experience history of Hawaii.

No Music No Life
Today, my friend gave me a CD. It was handmade CD and it has only 4 songs. However, when I went back to home and listened to songs, I thought that songs were pretty good. My friend's boyfriend is a bandsman. He takes a part in vocal. Therefore, she gave me her boyfriend's band CD. His vocal was quite good. In this connection, my friend told me the band's name. It is "Through the mirror". To change the subject, As I said before, I belong to a light music club. I heard that my two years senior's band is going to debut from indie. I'm bit excited about it. The band's name is "PASHLAS".
I love listening to music more than playing (because drums are difficult to play, hahaha) but I feel refresh when I play drums. I will do my best with drums until this autum. We need to retire from club activities in November after school festival. Well, I love playing drums too. hehehe :) By the way, I'm looking forward to two music concerts. I will go to African American's gospel music concert in October. They are coming from New York. The other concert is in September. This one is rock music concert. I will enjoy rock music by band from UK.

Red Bag
As I said before, I work at sporting goods shop. Lately, our shop received new bags and shoes. There were a very cool bags. It's colour was red and has "Liverpool F.C." football team's logo mark. It attracted me very much. However, I already got same kind of bag. Also, it was bit expensive so I couldn't decide to buy it or not. Because of good design, the bags were sold out very soon. Finally, I couldn't get it because I was irresolute person just for that day. Usually, I decide things very quickly but not for that day. I'm unlucky girl...
But afterward my mentor told me a good news! He is going to help the opening of new shop in Nasu for a week. He said that he could look for the bag for me!! I wish there will be a same bag at Nasu's new shop too.
Adventure!!
By the way, before I watch this movie I watched a preview of movie called "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" on the screen. I am also a great fan of this series and I was waiting for third one to come. However, I was shocked with two things when I watched the preview. First one is, I love the movie because the story was about Egypt but the third one is located in China. Second one is, an actress who acts as wife of Rick O'Connell was changed!!! Too bad. But I think I still watch it because I love movies of great adventure!!!
"The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" will be on 16th August. Check it out!!!

“Typhoon Girls” or “Rainy Ladies”
By the way, I will tell you why I wrote “Typhoon Girls” or “Rainy Ladies” for title. My friend who recently takes part in my band as a new vocal and I are close friends and we often hang out together. It is very fun hanging out with her but there is only one bad thing. The day we hang out always turned out to be a bad weather. We have rainy day, snowy day and typhoon. Isn’t that funny?? Ha-ha. Accordingly, we started to call ourselves “Typhoon girls” and “Rainy ladies”. Then, we started to think that it will be nice to have one of them as a band’s name!!! Although, we haven’t decide which to choose for our new band’s name.
Which one do you prefer?

FUTSAL!!!
Do you know what futsal is? It is really similar to a football.
The shop that I work as a part-time job has a futsal team so I joined the team since I started working at there. I sometime play futsal for fun now :)
We usually finish our work at 8:45pm so we start playing futsal at 9:00pm for 2 hours. We can rent futsal court near our shop.
Most of the team members are guy so it is bit hard for me to play with them because they are really really Good at playing futsal.
I used to belong to a football team when I was 6 or 7 years old but, of course, I forgot how to play now. Also I belonged to a volleyball team when I was junior and senior high school. However, I hardly play any sports since I became an university student so I always have muscular pain after I finished playing futsal but I always have great great FUN!!!
I remembered the enjoyment of playing sports when I started playing futsal!!!

IMPOSSIBLE IS JUST A BIG WORD THROWN AROUND BY SMALL MEN WHO FIND IT EASIER TO LIVE IN THE WORLD THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN THAN TO EXPLORE THE POWER THEY HAVE TO CHANGE IT. IMPOSSIBLE IS NOT A FACT. IT IS AN OPINION. IMPOSSIBLE IS NOT A DECLARATION. IT IS A DARE. IMPOSSIBLE IS POTENTIAL. IMPOSSIBLE IS TEMPORARY.
IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING
What do you think about this concept? I love this concept because this concept tells me that I don't have to worry about anything before I start challenging new things.

A New Draft Of The Movie Project
Here are the main characters!!
Story!!
Review!!
Sunday, June 8, 2008
I want to see this movie!!
"The script was clever and witty and although sometimes certain aspects were predictable, you were always very engaged in the story and the characters. I enjoyed myself so much in fact, that I am going to watch the movie again tomorrow with my sister!
Author: Brittany from Australia
"Normally, in a romantic comedy it does not require much acting, but Katherine Heigl manages to put in good acting to portray her jealousy towards her sister. Katherine Heigl is sweet and adorable, and she has a quality that makes the viewers connect to her."
Author: Gordon-11 from Hong Kong
"I thought that it was a cute film. A total chick flick but sometimes those are the best movies. For the most part it is worth your money. It's not perfect but pretty good. You feel for Jane in the movie who does everything for all her friends."
Author: musicallover84 from United States
After I read these reviews, I thought I really want to see this movie because I like watching romantic comedies. It makes me very happy. I think heroine of this movie is very cute!!
The story really sounds good. Also I would like to watch James Marsden acting in this movie :)
A Draft Of Movie Project
Here are the main characters!! Jess is heroine of this movie. Jules is a member of the girl’s football team. Joe is coach of the girl’s football team. Pinky is Jess’s older sister. Tony is Jess’s friend. He is an Indian British boy.
Story!! Jess feel great interest in football. However, her family doesn’t feel good about her because they are Indian family that treasures their traditional very much. Her mother is against football and wish Jess to behave more womanly. One day, Jules see Jess playing football at the park and scout Jess to the girl’s football team. Thanks to Tony, Jess decides to join the team secretly. As time passes, Jess becomes close friends with Jules and Joe. Meanwhile, Pinky and her family are busy preparing for Pinky’s wedding. Pinky follows her traditional and marry Indian guy. At the last minute, it comes out that Jess has been telling a lie to her family and she is in love with a white boy Joe. There for, Jess’s dad doesn’t allow Jess to go to a football game but the game is very important for her because talent scout for famous football school is coming to see the game. What Jess is going to do next?
Review!! When I watch this movie, I always feel happy. I like the story that teenage girls is trying to do her best to make her dreams come true. This movie tells you about importance of dream, hope and courage. We never make our dreams come true without difficulties. However this movie tells a message “never give up”. Also it tells that family always be your great support.

Guess the movie title!!
Based on the classic novel by CS Lewis. Four London children are sent to a professor's country home in order for protection during World War II. There they find a magic wardrobe which leads to a mystical land called ***, which is being ruled by an evil witch. To defeat the witch, they must join forces with Aslan, the lion God of ***.
Written by Brett Walter {StreepFan126@cs.com}
This movie is my favorite movie so far because I like the story very much. I read this novel when I was first school student and since then I became a fan of CS Lewis's novel. I used this book to study English. Before I watch this movie I was very excited. Also, I thought it will be hard to catch the novel but when I saw the movie, it draw me into a magic world. I thought casts were very good as well.
My least favorite movie is "Matrix" because the story was bit difficult for me to understand. I thought technique of making movie was very good but I was confused with the ending.
It is very hard to choose favorite and least favorite movie because I like watching movies and I think most of the movie is really good. It always satisfies me.
