Today, I met my high school friends. We were all in the dance club, so we decided to dance together for the first time in a while. I taught them the rock dance I did at the school festival last year. It was so fun, and we all really enjoyed it.

Recently I'm looking forword to the coming of age ceremony. In Japan, girl who became 20 old in this year wear Furisode kimono January. I'm also still undecided about attending the class reunion. Many seniors and people around me say it's a good idea to join, so I'm thinking about it seriously. I'll talk it over with my friends and make a decision soon! I really want to take lots of photos in my Furisode kimono at different places. Since it's a once-in-a-lifetime event, I want to enjoy it to the fullest and make unforgettable memories. Right now, I'm also trying to decide on my hairstyle for the day. I'm torn between wearing it up or leaving it down. I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I still can't choose! In the end, it's up to me to make the final decision, so I want to keep thinking it through until the very last moment and make sure I have no regrets about my coming-of-age ceremony.

It was stormy today; the downpour was intense and unsettling. During the day, Dad taught me about simple machines. They're not as simple as they sound, honestly. I still don’t understand why a movable pulley doubles the effort distance, but as long as I can calculate the output force using the formula, I'm good. Later, my bestie neighbor came back to town and knocked on my door. She brought me a souvenir badge from her favorite anime, she loves animations just as much as I do. I feel like we're going to have a lot of good times ahead.

This noon, my daughter and I have just read the story about the fishman and the goldfish. Of course, the main character was neither the fishman nor the fish, it's the woman, the fishman's greedy wife who was asking for too much without doing anything. All of us know the result of the story. The woman got back to her poor life due to her greed. This story told us that everyone has to be thankful for the people who helped us. The goldfish kept his promise to make one of the couple's wishes come ture. The woman should thank the fish's help, but she didn't and wanted to rule the whole world. This reminds me of the famous Chinese saying goes that a snake dreamed to swallow a whole elephant, but died of being stuffed. Greedis something we should fight against throughout our life. It looks like a sugar-coated bomb. If we finish the sweet coat, it will explode and swallow us in a second. Only we always consider to thank others who help us and just get what we are supposed to get, our life can be full of energy. When the flowers smell nice, the bees will come over without invitation.
