Guy Fawkes Night

I’m going to tell you about other Guy Fawkes Night’s things.

This is Guy Fawkes.

‘Guy’ is derived from his name. This festival is also called ‘Guy Fawkes Day’, ‘Bonfire Night’ and ‘Fireworks Night’. It’s not held in Northern Ireland. In around Wales, he is a convict, but in around Scotland, he is a hero. Parliament decided that every November 5 was a national holiday for thanksgiving the joyful day of deliverance in 1606. This festival is derived from the national holiday. The plot couldn’t be succeeded but after 229 years, on October 16, 1834, big fire broke out in the Houses of Parliament in London. Gunpowder Plot is told by British nursery rhyme.

Remember, remember,
The fifth of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot
We gunpowder treasonShould ever be forgot!

Beer Festival

Germany=Beer Festival, Beer Festival=Germany!

About 600 million people come there from around the world. It's traditional event in Munich. It's held at a large place which is called Theresienwiese in the western part of the Munich. The area of this place is 42 hectare. It has been held since 1810. It has 14 big tents which are called Beer Hall and 16 medium and small tents. It also has thousands of seats outside of the tents. There are about 6000 or 7000 seats in the big tents. Theresienwiese is filled to capacity all day. There are stages in the center of the tents. Brass bands play Pop songs and cheerful Bavarian ethnic music. Some people who have mugs for beer dance with music. When there is a sign for cheer, people say 'prost (cheer)' loudly. Everybody, not only young people but also old people wear ethnic clothes. Women wear checked, striped and flowered one piece which is like a farmer clothes. Men wear leather half pant.

How fun!

My Favorite Movie

Have you seen Enchanted? In Japanese, Mahonikakerarete. I saw it recently on DVD. Director is Kevin Lima. It is distributed by Walt Disney Studio Motion Pictures. Release date is March 14th, 2008.

Giselle lives in Andalasia where is the happy animated world. She is kind.
One day, she meets Prince Edward and she is proposed by him. On the day of her wedding, she meets a bad witch who is Queen Narissa. She is pushed in a fountain by her. The witch expels Giselle from Andalasia for her place. Giselle comes to the not happy animated world, New York. Everlasting happiness doesn’t exist there. She bothers about its situation but she is helped by a man and a girl. The man’s name is Robert Philip and he is a lawyer for divorce. The girl’s name is Morgan Philip and she is his daughter. He has divorced before. He is a realist. He doesn’t think ‘dreams’ and ‘magic’ exist and he tells his daughter that. Giselle tries to tries to tell him everlasting love because he doesn’t think it also exists. Prince Edward who is very cheerful and Pip which is a chipmunk and brave come to New York to help Giselle but they are blocked that by Nathaniel who is a Queen Narissa’s servant. They can’t find her.
Giselle begins to think everlasting love doesn’t exist. Queen Narissa and a dinosaurian which spits a fire appear and people where live in New York panic. Can Giselle go back to Andalasia?

I think Amy Adams (Giselle) is cute. In New York, Pip (chipmunk) is CG but I think it's also cute. Clothes which Giselle wore were cute. I thought I wanted to wear them too. Giselle sang about three times. These songs made me fun. I like a song which she sings with many people. It also made me fun and I like lyrics. It says if you have a person you like, you should say your heart. I think this story says it's important to know each other. I like this movie. I hope you'll like it.

Summer Vacation

I often went to club activity. I’m in the taekwondo club. It had on Wednesdays and Fridays. I practiced it with an air conditioner which was the lowest degree but I sweat a lot. I felt refreshed. I practiced it for about 2 hours. I could rest only 1 minute every rest. I practiced for a promotional test on September 23. I’ll try it. It has Poomsae and Kyorugi. Poomsae is kata which is like karate. It’s protecting yourself way. Kyorugi is fighting by using legs. I used to learn karate. At first I thought Poomsae was easy but not. It's a little different from karate. It has rules. If you take a mistake, judges reduce your points. I’ll practice it and pass a promotional test.

During this summer vacation I went to Osu with my friends three times. I went there last Saturday. It was impressive. I bought new pink eye shade and black short pants. The eye shade is cute. The short pants are chic. We tried many beauty products for about 2 hours. It was fun. We bought them. Then we went to an amusement arcade and took some pictures. We scribbled on them. We I ate New York cheese cake for snack. It was delicious. I want to go there again.

Plastic Bottle Tea

How often do you drink tea a day? I drink it about three times a day and almost every day. Do you think it is much? I don’t think it’s much, but I drink plastic bottle tea like Lipton about twice a day and almost every day. Sugar is important nutriment for people, but I think I’ve got much sugar recently. To get much sugar can be fat and diabetes. You ignore diabetes and you can be other big diseases and die. I’ll reduce sugar and exercise. If you get much sugar, reduce it and exercise!

Swimming Pool

Do you like swimming? It is comfortable isn’t it? So I like swimming. But I’ve not gone to an amusement pool or the sea for about 5 years because I’ve not wanted to wear a bathing suit. But I want to go there this summer. But I need to lose weight before I go there. ! I’ve had an idea! I think it is best to go to a swimming pool because I can go to a ‘pool’ and lose weight. Swimming uses arms, legs and 10 kinds of muscles, so you can lose weight. You can hurt youreself than other sports such baseball, volleyball, soccer and basketball. You don't spend money a lot. You can also make new friends. I think swimming is useful for losing weight.

About Taekwondo

Do you know taekwondo? It's Korea martial art. It has Poomsae and Kyorugi. Poomsae is kata which is like karate. It’s protecting yourself way. I used to learn karate. At first I thought Poomsae was easy but not. It's a little different from karate. It has rules. If you take a mistake, judges reduce your points. Kyorugi is fighting by using legs. Kicks are different from karate and has many kicks. It's difficult but cool. Kyorugi is like boxing. It's point system and has 2R. I went to taekwondo game in Okazaki last Sunday. It was exciting. I want to be strong like them.
