Present

I can't say which present I receive was the best because all of them are precious and the best for me...
so this time, I will tell you about the presents what I was surprised at.
that was my 17th birthday present.
I was in Australia on my birthday.
I asked my mum to send me an iPod as my birthday present.
so she did.
what made me surprise was what my hostmum gave me...
she gave me mp3!
she knew what I wanted!
I was suprised but I was happy.
but my hostmum suggested me to replace it so I said no.
So while I was in Australia, i listened to English music with mp3 and Japanese music with iPod.
my 17th birthday was full of happiness.
My Japanese family and friends sent to me some presents and messages and my Australian friends gave me some presents and cards.
i felt so happy on that day :)

winter vacation

I have no idea what I'm going to do during winter vacation.
I think I will do what I do every year at this season.
cleaning my house, writing Nengajo, visiting my relations, and so on.
but this year, I'm sure I will have my part time job in winter vacation.
I really like my job because there are many nice friends.
I love this season.
the end of the year and the start of the year.
they are very special for me.
oh!
one more thing I will do and I really don't wanna do...
HOMEWORK!!!
I have heaps of things to do!!
In every vacation, I leave my homework until the vacations are nearly finished.
so this time, I will finish all my homework earlier X)

to be an adult

For me, to be an adult is having oneself.
if you rely on others or you have dependent life, you still can be an adult.
what is the most important is how you think and how you act.
if a child has his own mind and not be changed by anyone, then, he is an adult.

am I an adult?
no.
I sometimes loose myself by my surrounding.
my parents and friends help me finding my way.
but I think most of people need other's help for how to live in their lives.
the word "adult" is just for social rule for me.
