Today, I’d like to write about my hobbies. I have several hobbies, but recently I’ve been especially into reading and baking sweets. I started reading a lot when I was in high school because my Japanese teacher often recommended books to me. Since then, I’ve gotten really into it, and now I have a growing list of books I want to read next. As for baking, I’ve always loved eating sweets, so I thought it would be fun to try making them myself. Sometimes I fail, but when I succeed, I feel a great sense of accomplishment. Recently, I’ve been especially into these two hobbies, but there are still many other things I want to try and challenge myself with! However, I believe the most important thing about having hobbies is not to turn them into obligations. Once something becomes an obligation, the fun you used to feel can quickly turn into stress. That’s why I don’t force myself to do them when I don’t feel like it, and sometimes I just stop when I lose interest. I think that’s what truly makes something a hobby.

I bought a CD on Tuesday. It’s a full album. The artist is TOMORROW X TOGETHER. I love this group. Since I was a junior high school student, I have loved them. They are Korean idol. But they come Japan many times. My favorite member had visited the place where my home town’s tourists spot. I was very surprised it. Because my home town is so countryside. I like my home town, but it’s not famous place. When I heard the news, I felt happiness. I want to stay in the same Inn. I will go to their concert in November and December. It is winter, so it will be cold. But I like to wear clothing when it’s cold days. It looks pretty. And I think winter is better than summer. I don’t spend by hot weather. I hate hot weather! I’m very looking forward to snow, hot snacks, and Christmas.

I'll talk about what I like to do these days! I found a lot of wonderful The Beatles songs and listened to them all the time when the way to school or at home. The song is used on Japanese TV show, and I especially like the song In my life. Moreover, the more I listened to it, the more I realized that The Beatles are popular because they are all songs I had heard somewhere. Another thing I like these days is eating. Anyway, there is a lot of delicious food in autumn and I eat a lot!! I'm very hungry after classes, so I usually go to McDonald's. After that, buy fried chicken at the convenience store and eat it. It's expensive and not good for health, but I'm very happy to eat after working hard.📖 These are my favorite things these days. What is your favorite thing these days? Please tell me☺︎

After school today, I went to Disneyland with my friends, and it was one of the most exciting days I’ve had in a while. We had been talking about going together for weeks, so when the day finally came, we were full of energy and happiness. When we arrived, the park was already very crowded, and many of the popular rides had long waiting lines. Even though we couldn’t go on as many rides as we wanted, we still had a wonderful time exploring the park, taking lots of pictures, and enjoying the cheerful atmosphere. We bought matching Minnie Mouse headbands, shared churros, and laughed a lot while watching the colorful parade. As the sun went down, the lights around the castle started to glow beautifully, and the fireworks show at night was breathtaking. I realized that what made the day special wasn’t just Disneyland itself, but spending that time with my friends. I really want to go again someday when it’s less crowded and make even more memories together.

I am writing a report on my school assignment now. This report is about food culture. I am researching into the differences in food culture between East and West Japan. Do you know why cows are preferred in western Japan and porks in eastern Japan? There are many reasons there. One reason is seasoning. In western Japan, strong seasoning has always been the mainstream, and beef that goes well with the strong seasoning has been preferred. On the other hand, pork was preferred because light seasoning was the mainstream in eastern Japan. Another reason I found out is climate differences.Western Japan is easy to keep cattle because of its mild climate. East Japan is easy to keep pigs because of its cool climate. Even in these same countries, the climate and environment are different, so there is a difference in livestock that can be raised. So many interesting facts have been found. I enjoy writing this report.

This Wednesday, I didn’t have any classes, so I went to DisneySea with my friends! It was so much fun! It rained all day and was really cold, but because of that, there were fewer people. We could ride almost everything we wanted, so it was great! There was a parade I really wanted to see, but it was canceled because of the rain. It only happens during Halloween, so I’ll have to see it next year 😢.When I rode the roller coaster, I got to sit in the front row. I talked with my friend the whole time, and it was so much fun! I found a new way to enjoy roller coasters!We had to wait in line for a long time, but since I was with my friend, the two hours went by really fast. I also ate food I don’t usually eat and bought souvenirs for everyone. Even though it rained, I felt really happy and satisfied!

This Saturday, my university will have a school festival. I am a member of a dance club, and I will perform on stage at the festival. I’m really excited but also a little nervous. I’m going to dance in three different styles: lock, house, and emotional dance. None of these are my main style, so they are a bit difficult for me. But I’m trying my best every time in practice. Our team has been practicing a lot, and everyone is working very hard to make the show great. Today, I have practice for the lock performance. It’s a very powerful and energetic dance style, so it needs a lot of control and rhythm. I want to make my movements sharp and full of energy. The festival is only a few days away, so I’m doing my best until the last moment. On the day of the performance, I want to dance with confidence and enjoy every second on stage.

Last week, I went shopping in Ginza with my grandfather and my mother for the first time in a long time. I was really excited because it had been a while since we went out together. We went to many shops, and they bought me a lot of nice clothes. At the Ralph Lauren store, I found two cute jackets. I don’t usually wear brown clothes, but one of them was so cute that I couldn’t resist buying it. Since winter is coming soon, I’m looking forward to wearing it a lot. I also found a brand I often see on TikTok, and I was very happy to buy something from that shop too. My mother told me she would give me a special present for my 20th birthday, so we spent some time looking for it together. It was a very fun and special day with my family. For lunch, I ate a chocolate cake, but it was too sweet for me, so I couldn’t finish it. Still, the whole day was really wonderful.

Hello. This week will be very busy for me because I will should done English homework and application documents for the Seminar also this weekend, I'm going to Kamakura for a school assignment and to Shinagawa for my part-time job orientation. I don't dislike it because I chose it myself, but not getting enough sleep seems like it will be a huge burden for me. I hope I can get good quality sleep even if it is short. I recently deleted TikTok from my phone. It is fun and easy to enjoy with short videos, but I think it is harmful because it is addictive and loss my time. I stopped watching with TikTok videos after deleting the app, but I’ve been watching more videos on Instagram Reels. This is extremely harmful, but I can’t delete Instagram so I hope short videos disappear. What do you think about TikTok or short videos?
