Help meeeeeeee


Last week and this week, I had many things to do! Tests and reports. I can't finish it... There isn't any useful books in the library because many people are lending them! What should I do・・・?Help-! Well... Il'll do my best.
Oh! Last Friday, I went to Ebisu with my friends. I went to an american bar which has nice mood. I liked the place very much. Then, after we finished eating the big music was played and the funky staff had a birthday cake! I thought the cake was for other person because we didn't have any birthday girls. So I kept clapping my hands. Then the cake came to me and the staff said "It's Ran's birthday!!!!!!!". I got panicked but I was happy so I cried. Everyone(staff and guests) celebrated for me and sang the birthday song. I am a happy girl. My friends planned a late surprise party for me! I really thought I got nice friends.

TOY STORY 3

On Saturday, I went to my favorite artist's live. It was my second time to go in this summer. My seat was near to the stage so I enjoyed it very much!

On Sunday, I went to Minatomirai to watch TOY STORY 3.
I watch the 3D ver. which was subtittled. I recommend you to watch it in subtittle. The story was funny and it was heart warming so I loved it. Some people thinks it's too childish, but I didn't feel like that. It was an interesting movie!! When I saw AVATAR the 3D wasn't good, but the 3D grade up a little in 109 cinema so it was better than before. You should watch it.

Birthday!!

Last Friday, it was my birthday. I'm 20 years old. OMG!
My friends and my family celebrated for me.
I got present from my sister and my brother and his wife.
My sister gave me Hawaiian jewelry. We chose it for a long time...
It's very cute and I really love it^^
My brother and his wife gave me a T-shirt and a body cream from kitson.
These were also nice! I'm going to use it from now on.

On Saturday, I went to dinner at the high-grade buffet with my family.
The scene was beautiful from there. And foods were very delicious!
I can't usually spend birthday with my family(me, parents, sister, brother) because
my sister don't usually live in Japan so I was glad to spend with them.

My sister

Last Thursday, my sister came to Japan. She usually lives in California now.
Her height is lower than me but she is a good sport woman!She plays soccer, surfine, rugby and so on. She is low so when she plays rugby and gets a tackle from others she gets a spot.
In fact, she has a big spot on her left eye LOL.

I got some gifts and snacks. I got a T-shirt which brand is Abercrombie.
I was happy to have it because it's expensive to buy it in Japan.

On Saturday, we went to spa and had a foot massage! It was nice and we enjoyed it.Also, we watched the soccer game at night which was Argentina vs Germany.The game was awesome! I was supporting Argentina but they lost...
On Sunday, I went to my favorite artists concert. It was hot! I'm going to their live 4 times this year. I'm looking forward it.
