There seems to be nothing to do today. My homeworks all finished, none of my friends are home, and even the computer seems boring now. Does any have any ideas for things to do? Continue reading →

Something really strange is going on right now, but i cant figure out what it is. Is it a stroke of bad luck? I cant seem to hit a baseball the way i could. My bad luck streeak has been three games already, and I’m trying everything to make it stop. How will i get out of this predicament? Continue reading →

When i was 6 years old, I wasn’t very good at baseball. I was probably one of the weakest boys on my team, so no one liked me except for my best friends. I didn’t really care that i was junk at baseball, because I didnt really think i was going to play for much longer.

But then there was my grand father. He’d come to all of my games, and allways be very happy when I did well. He was a very queit person, but enjoyed talking to me about the games Ipreviously had played. He was so proud. I wanted him to be happy every time i played.

So I began to make baseball my passion, and I worked with my father anytime i could to get better. I watched the major league players, and tried to learn from them too. I wanted to turn mself into a baseball playing machine. Just for him. So  today I am always one of the best players on my team, and no one makes fun of me. I have earned my respect.

Last Saturday me and my friends had a get together at Bradley’s house. At first, we we’re all supposed to study for a math and science test, but after we finished the work all we did was fool around. We played football, ping pong, and basicaly just talked story. I was laughing the whole day through.

先週の土曜日、私と数人の友達は、ブラドリーの家に集まりました｡はじめに、私達は数学と科学の試験勉強をするはずでした。でも、勉強の後で、ばかなまねをして遊びました。私達は、フットボールや卓球をしたり、おしゃべりをしました。　一日中、笑いました。

Hawaii was once a bright sunny tropical island. But it is now reduced to a flooded suburb of wet mud and people. On and off the rain starts and stops. What is next? Snow?

Yesterday, I had a very strange sickness. I felt really tired and hot, and It was hard to walk around. I thought I was seriously ill so I went to bed early. But when I woke up the next day, I was mysteriously cured!

きのう、私はとても変な病気をしました。私はとても疲れて、熱がある感じがしました。そして、しっかりと歩き回ることが出来ませんでした｡　私は重い病気だと思いました。それで、早く寝ました。しかし、次の日、起きた時、私は奇跡的にも治っていました。 Continue reading →

All of a sudden it seems I know a lot of magicians! My friend ryan kondo walks up to me and ask me if I want to see some magic. I say alright. “Can I borrow a quarter? ” he asks, so I hand him one. He gets his can of Cola and rams the quarter to the can. But the quarts not there anymore. He opeens the new can and, the quarters in there! Pretty cool huh? Continue reading →

  There is and always will be people who dont take care of their teeth. Maybe they have a few cavities, or maybe they have some missing teeth. There will always be a need for a dentist, because teeth are a factor on first impressions, and many people who will pay alot of money to get a pearl white smile. Getting rich is the second part. My mother’s old boss lived in a great big mansion up in a private mountain in Hawaii Kai. He owns a pool and a small gym, and lives a good life with everything he needs. I want to be just like that. My mom is a dental assistant, so I think it would be easy to learn the job from her. Cleaning cavities and pulling and replacing teeth are the basic things each dentist must do, but the only bad thing is that I have to work in people’s dirty mouths But I guess it would still be cool to perform a career I have been dreaming about all my life. Dont you think that is so? Continue reading →

土曜日に、髪を染めるために、母が美容院に連れて行ってくれました。
今、私は、日本人観光客のようです。
