I feel like winter these days, but still autumn now. Last Saturday, I went to an amusement park that's called Yomiuri Land. Unfortunately, it was rainny☔️Sometimes rides were stopped because of rainnig. The high and scary roller coaster was often stopped, so I thought I wouldn't have to ride them, but it started again at night, so I decided to ride it. It was very scary because of the cold. It is also an amusement park famous for its illuminations, so I was able to see the beautiful scenery while riding the roller coaster but it was really really sceary anyway.😭However, it's also special memory for me. And at there I ate a lot, for example ramen, crepe, kebab, and takoyaki!! I had a good time all of the day. It is difficult to keep the day open because I have almost part-time job on holiday. So the day was also relax time for me.

I see more and more people almost spend all of them time on checking their phones except falling asleep. Different people have their own different favorite apps for entertainment. The online world is much more interesting than the real world for them.among these apps installed on our phones, the communication apps which also called social medias have become one of the most important parts of our daily life. I can't imagine how I made friends with others before smart phones. During that period, only the people around me potentially could be my friends. A friend must be the person I met in person. But everything changed after smart phones got into our lives. Nowadays, we have a lot of friends online. Most of them we never see , even have a picture of them. We share the interesting things with each other, and cancel these ones we don't like. On the other hand, I slowly find that I am afraid of seeing my friends in person. I even forget how to communicate with friends, because I read an article about some tips of starting a conversation last week. I have definitely lost an important skill due to smart phones.

Last Friday, I went out for dinner with my close friends from my hometown. It had been a long time since we all met, because the last time was during summer vacation. I was really happy to see everyone again after such a long time. We talked a lot about many things, especially about the coming-of-age ceremony that will be held soon. We are all very excited and can’t wait for that special day. We also talked about funny memories from our elementary and junior high school days. Every time we meet, we talk about the same stories, but it’s always so fun and never boring. I realized again how special these friends are to me, because we can laugh together for hours and never get tired. Since our houses are close to each other, we could stay together until late at night, and I really enjoyed that time. We promised to meet again in December, so I’m already looking forward to it. Before the ceremony, I want to do my best to lose some weight and look nice in my dress. Spending time with my friends always makes me feel happy and relaxed, and I’m really thankful to have them in my life.

I usually go to bed at about eleven p.m. After dinner I tidy up the kitchen and prepare everything for the next day for me and my children. Then I watch TV or read a book before going to the bathroom and brush my teeth and everything else and then I go to bed.

Hi everyone, it’s been a while! October is almost over, and it’s getting really cold these days. I can really feel that winter is coming. It’s hard to believe it was so hot in the summer. Anyway I love winter, so I’m very excited. But I’m not good with the cold, so I try to keep myself warm every day. In winter, there is the big event called Christmas! The city is full of beautiful lights, and my favorite Christmas songs are playing everywhere. Just walking outside makes me happy. After Christmas, there is New Year! I love watching special TV programs, eating osechi and ozoni with my family. There are so many things I enjoy at that times. And it’s also my birthday! Every year goes by so fast, but this year I feel so much more. I want to do my best for the last two months of 2025. By doing so, I can finish the year without regrets.
