The day off I got up almost lunch time and I heard Japanese voice from the lounge room. When I listened to the voice carefully, I realized it was the movie called "Your Name"; "君の名は". The movie is so famous in Japan in this summer season so I really wanted to watch it. I thought my roommates was watching in the room even though the movie released in this Sommer and it doesn't come out as DVD. I knew though I run to the room to watch together! Of course it was just advertisement as movie theater. I talked about the movie, then they started to search when we can go to a theater. We knew it would be just once a week and it's only Sunday! We decided to go together! It was first time to watch a movie at a theater in Australia. It was a little bit different from Japan in that Australian people speak during ending song. I didn't really care about that but I was surprised because Japanese people are so quiet in the movie theater even just ending song. Of course it's depend on person though. Anyway, it was good, not so really good I think my expectation was absolutely high because so many Japanese friends had told me it was great and it was really famous at the moment. However, I'm in Australia so I thought I have to wait couples of months, I didn't expect I could watch it in Australia and also in a theater! I was really looking forward to watch it that's why my expectation was high! My roommates liked it as well. I was so hungry then I bought a burger and some chips and ate quickly. After we got home we talked about what is a good or not. I had a good day off!

diary I woke up at 10 a.m. and watched "Rain Man". I watched it with my dad when I was a child because he likes this movie. I didn't remember the story of the movie so I watched it again. It was such a great movie as people say and it reminded me of my dad as well. I studied English grammar and made Thai food. After that, I went to work. It was pretty busy because I had to cook and serve. Normally, I do just one position, this means I'm just a waitress or a cook in a day. However, I had to cook meals and after finishing cook, I had to serve as well! Of course I got tired but my boss gave a glass of wine and a couple glasses of Japanese sake. It made me happy but I was a little bit drank. Today, I woke up later than usual the time was already 11.30 a.m.. I drunk a full glass of water at one time to refresh. I called my boyfriend who lives in Japan. Recently, I feel lonely when I think about him. He hangs out with some of his friends many times and they are so close but I hadn't seen him more than half a year. I think it is kind of jealous I don't feel like this. It makes me feel that I'm selfish. I should hang in there about it because I come here for me.

Watching three movies I heard the sound of opening the door from the next room in early morning, then I noticed I'd fell asleep without turning off the light. Sorry mates. After then, I couldn't sleep even though it was 5 a.m. this means I'd slept just 4 hours. Actually, Friday evening is busy for waiters as restaurant, so I wanted to take a rest longer but I couldn't. I gave up to try staying in the bed. I ate breakfast and watched two movie it is becoming a kind of routine. the both movie were so great! I love both of them. The previous story was about the boy who really love playing basket ball god a cancer. I cried more than four times during the movie. The other movie "In Her Shoes" was nice as well. I felt so good from the beginning the day! I studied English grammar and went to work. It was pretty busy as I thought because many group of customer come there at the almost same time. I got tired so I went back home quickly. When I got home it was already 12 a.m. but my roommates were still awake. I talked with one of them called Patrick about staying in Japan, since he is going to Japan as studying abroad for two years. So we compered about the cost for everything of living in Japan and in Australia. When we noticed the time was already 1a.m. we went to bed. Actually, I didn't go, I started watching movie again. That's sound crazy though.

For my future I got up at 7 a.m. yesterday and ate breakfast. I watched two movie at the morning. I noticed the text from one of staff members while I was watching "Inside Head". He told me that he'd gotten burn at his fingers and the doctor said to him that he must keep his hands away from water at least a day. It meant he wasn't able to work at the restaurant a day. I was sorry for him and I thought I had to work instead of him even though I guessed I couldn't get money for the time because I'm a contract staff and the pay is same for a month. Anyway, I went to work and opened the door putting the key but it was very smoothly to open the door but I didn't expect it was already opened. I felt wired someone said hello to me so I'd gotten scared but actually the someone was my boss. I didn't expect he prepared meals instead of him. He thanked my decision. We finished preparation quickly and we went for a couple of coffee. We had a good time with talking about what I want to be in the future especially what I want to spend time for work. He motivated me so I thought I should learn English more and more for my future. Typically, time is limited! I have to spend time for my future! We worked again after the coffee time. It was good day!

Second entry オーストラリアに来てなんだかんだ半年以上が経ちました。いつのまにか年末！早い！相変わらず元気にしてます。オーストラリアは本当過ごしやすいです。大自然に囲まれてのーんびり日々過ごしています。日本では毎日バタバタしてたので、今急に帰国前の日本での生活をすることになったら1日で疲れそうなくらいのんびりな生活リズムに染まりつつあります（笑） 年末一時帰国しまーす！年末年始を日本で過ごせるのは嬉しい。チケットバカ高かったけど。帰ったらお風呂に浸かって美味しいご飯食べてハイボールが飲みたい！！ I've gone abroad to Australia for more than half a year without my noticing. The end of this year is coming soon before I knew it. I can't believe how fast time goes by! I'm well as usual. There is a lot of nature here so it is nice to spend time in. I enjoy this relaxing life. When I was in Japan, I had been crazy busy everyday. If I spent time as I did, I would get tired easily even though it was just one day. That means I'm being dyed slowly life style. Anyway, I'm going to go back to Japan for about 3 weeks. I really glad to spend time Japanese The New Year Holiday. The flight ticket was so expensive though. The thing I've been looking forward to the most is to take a bath , eat yummy food and drink highball at my favorite restaurant. I can't wait anymore!

The Day off I got up at 7 a.m. and ate a bowl of yogurt and half a kiwi fruit as usual. After eating breakfast, I turn on the TV and I saw the news that there was an earthquake in Japan in the morning and people were worried about tsunami. Because On 11th March 2011, there was a terrible tsunami in Fukushima Japan and it happened an earthquake again in the same place. The disaster called "The Great East Japan Earthquake" destroyed some nuclear power plants. That was an incredible huge disaster. I never seen a news about Japanese disaster in Australia, so I was really worried about Japan. Fortunately, it wasn't a tsunami and also nobody was died. I relieved to hear that. Then I wanted to watch a movie but the internet system didn't work so I wasn't able to watch anything even though it was a day off. I listened to Podcast to learn English. I like listening podcast especially "Bilingual News " is so good. I fell asleep while I was listening. Recently, I fall asleep many times. I must be tired or I don't have enough motivation to learn English. If I was the latter, I feel bad. I woke up because one of my roommate came in the round room. It was not so long sleep so I was able to start study English. The unit about "at/in/on" I'm not good at using properly these wards. I've still confused. After studying I ate a bowl of soup noodle as dinner and watched movie with roommates. Actually, I didn't really like the movie but I really like watching movie together so it made me happy. I continued watching another movie and went to sleep.

Try to start again I haven't written a notebook for a while but I'll try again and I hope that I can keep this at least a month. Recently, I've been rude so I wake up around 10 a.m.. I should change the rhythm to improve my English but it is more difficult for me to study other language by myself than I thought, even though I go abroad. When I woke up I was in the little sofa. It meant I fell asleep in the sofa while I was watching movie last night. It made me so tired because it was a little sofa for one person so I've got stiff neck. I felt bad from the beginning of the day. Actually, I woke up sometimes but I just didn't want to move another inch. Anyway, I got up and ate a bowl of yogurt and half of a kiwi fruit as breakfast and watched the movie from the beginning again, since the story didn't come into my mind directly last night because I almost slept during watching it. It was nice story. The main character has remembering problem it means he loose every memory of one day after he sleeps but he has memory of the life before the problem happened.(This explanation is so bad. Do you understand the basic story?) However he fell in love even though he forgets the face of the girl who he loves. I imagined I were him. it's so sad but I really like this movie. After the movie, I still had enough time to go work so I watched another movie. It was not so bad but worse than before one. After watching movie, I made resume for new job. I want to try to work at restaurant or cafe which there aren't any Japanese. It would be great to lean English. It was totally different how to write resume with Japanese one. So it was a little bit difficult to make it by myself but my roommate Patrick helped me so much! Thanks Paddy. I could finish it before I went to work. About work, it was not so quiet but longer than usual. After finishing work I drank some glasses of red wine.

my dream Yesterday, I made some japanese meals; Miso soup, Nikujyaga, Okonomiyaki for my roommate Liam who left here last night. There were three my roommates and two their cousins. I ate these meals with all of them. Actually, we have different life circle so we don't have meal together. It was first time for me even though I stayed here for more than two months. We were really enjoying and I was so glad to see that they enjoyed eating meals I made. I made "Hiroshima styled Okonomiyaki" at the first time. It was difficult to cook in a fry pan. In Japan, we always use big hot plate when we make Okonomiyaki. Okonomiyaki is Japanese styled pancake made from egg, flour and water, cabbage, noodles, and some meat or seafood with sauce. It is my soul food in my home town and I love it but I've never cooked by myself. I always went to restaurant to eat Okonomiyaki. It was good try! I relieved because it was good taste. After eating lunch, I went to work, it was not too busy. I could leave work early time so when I got home, I watched two episodes of "LOST" by myself during drinking some glasses of wine. It was nice but I miss Liam! I always watched "LOST" with him. Then, I chatted with my roommate Patrick about our dream. It made me consider about my dream. Many young people have a specific dream in here but I don't have a specific dream yet. I just want to get nice family and I want to spend a lot of time for my future family. I didn't want to work what I want to because I was afraid to hate what I really like. However, I changed my mind since I came here. I should choose a job which I want to do because work time is so long in my life. I should consider about what I want to be during this working holiday.

Made Japanese meals Yesterday, I woke up at 8 a.m. and ate a banana. My roommate Liam is going back to Melbourne today's evening, so I wanted to make Japanese because he always help me to understand English and so kind for me. I made Japanese carry but I don't have enough ingredients so it failed to cook. I was a little bit sad and I ate it by myself. After taking a shower, I went to work. Yesterday was so quiet day so I didn't get tired any more. When I got home, I chatted with some roommate about how I change when I drunk. It was so funny. I slept on bench of street once and I many times don't remember many things when I drunk. It was so weird but It is funny now. I don't do that now. Then I watched two episodes of "LOST" with Liam, it was last time to watch this drama with Liam. I will miss him. Today, I woke up at 8 a.m. and went shopping to get some ingredients. There were a little bit expensive than I thought. When I got home I made some Japanese meals; Miso soup, Nikujyaga and Okonomiyaki for Liam again. I hope he will be glad to eat these meals. Thank you for everything, Liam.
