Hello. These days, the cold weather has been making my mornings really difficult. No matter how early I go to bed, I still struggle to get up when my alarm goes off. The moment I open my eyes, I already feel the cold air in my room, and it makes me want to stay under my blanket forever. Winter is definitely not the best season for waking up on time. Another change in my life is that I recently decided to start a new part-time job. Until now, I had only worked at Mister Donut, but I thought it might be a good idea to try something different. Luckily, I was hired at a hamburger restaurant. I’m excited about learning a new job, especially because the atmosphere and skills are completely different from my previous workplace. I’m a little nervous about balancing two jobs with my university schedule, but I want to challenge myself and grow from the experience. Last week, I went out to eat hot pot with my friends. It was the perfect choice for this season. The warm soup, the vegetables, and the meat all tasted amazing, and we spent a long time talking and laughing. Sharing a meal like that really made me feel relaxed and helped me forget about my busy schedule for a while. Next week, I have an important presentation coming up. I’ve already started preparing, but I still feel a bit anxious. Even so, I want to do my best and deliver a presentation I can be proud of. Life feels busy, but also meaningful, and I hope I can keep moving forward step by step.

Today was busy, but it turned out to be a fulfilling day. I woke up a little later than usual and had to rush through my morning routine. It was extremely cold, and walking outside from the morning was tough, but the weather was clear, so I still felt in a good mood. In my first-period class, we learned about cruise ships. I was glad to hear stories that I normally don’t get the chance to hear. In my second-period French class, I was happy because lately I’ve been able to answer the teacher’s questions correctly more often on my own. During lunch break, I talked with a friend I hadn’t seen in a while. Even though we go to the same university, it feels lonely that we hardly meet when we don’t have any classes together. After school, I didn’t have a shift, but I went to my workplace to see my friends from my part-time job. I really love spending time with them because talking with them helps me forget stressful things and just enjoy the moment. It seems like I’ll be entering a busy season soon, but we were able to make plans for a drinking get-together, so I’m looking forward to that. For dinner, I ate udon that my brother brought back from Kagawa as a souvenir. Since it was such a cold day, the warm udon really warmed both my body and my heart. I’m going to sleep early tonight and get ready for tomorrow.

Last week, I went to a mountain in Shizuoka with my university friends to see the sunrise. It was my second time going there, so I was really excited. We left at two in the morning and started driving together. We talked a lot in the car and stopped to eat something on the way. Because of that, we could not arrive before the sunrise. I felt a little disappointed, but since we had already come all the way there, we decided to climb the mountain anyway.The mountain was very steep, and it was harder to climb than I expected. Some of my friends got tired and walked slowly, but we cheered each other up and continued climbing. It took some time, but when we finally reached the top, the view was amazing. The sky was bright, and we could see the town below. Even though we missed the sunrise, I felt very happy. I thought to myself that I want to visit for the third time in the future.It had been a long time since I hung out with many friends, so it was a very fun day. After climbing, we drove around until noon and had lunch together. We talked about many things, laughed a lot, and I feel that our friendship became stronger. We even made plans to travel together during spring vacation, so I am really looking forward to it.

What is your favorite Japanese game or anime? I love "THE IDOLM@STER" series. It separate 6 brands. "765 All Stars", "Cinderella Girls", "Millon Live!", "SideM", "Shiny Colors", and "Gakuen Idol Master". Especially, I love Cinderella Girls and SideM. Cinderella Girls has a many many characters. The total number of idols in that is around 200. That is one of the most number in Japanese idol game. I went to 3 Cinderella Girls's live concert in this year. These concert was so amazing! I want to back in that concert date. This year, They held concert tour in 5 cities. Osaka, Tokyo, Okinawa, Fukuoka, and Kanagawa. I went to Tokyo, Fukuoka, and Kanagawa. There were special memories in this year. SideM is boys idol game. That is special in IDOLM@STER series. Because other 5 blands are girls game, but SideM is only boys game. So in 6 blands collaboration concert, SideM's casts are expected to sing cute songs. I am one of them. If they sings my favorite song, I maybe shout at the top of one's lungs. Collaboration concert will be held next weekend in Osaka. Of course, I will go to that concert! I really looking forward it. I wish next weekend would hurry up and come.

My favourite pastime activity is playing with kids. I feel really tranquil when I play with kids. I am keen to know about their prospective towards life. How exactly they see the world, I believe they see their surroundings with a different lens. I really admire their heart melting gestures , for instance holding a tiny spoon with their cute fingers. In my viewpoint, children are the purest soul in this universe.

Last Thursday, I went to the Christmas Market with a friend. She is a year older than me and plays in the same orchestra, and we are very close. We went right after school. I had expected it to be cold because it was outside, but the weather was surprisingly warm and comfortable. The market was lovely, featuring a large Christmas tree and stalls that looked like cute little buildings. I bought a big butter pretzel. I was amazed that it was about the size of my face! It was incredibly delicious, with the butter fully soaking into the dough. After that, we went to another stand and ate hot chocolate, French fries, and beef stew. The beef stew was especially good; the meat was very tender. After the Christmas Market, we went to a café to talk. We found a cozy corner by the window, watching the streetlights glitter outside. We talked about everything from orchestra practice challenges to our favorite books. I recently realized that milk tea and cinnamon powder are a great combination, and I really enjoy it. The cinnamon gives the milk tea a bright, beautiful aroma and makes it taste wonderful. Even though our time was short, it turned out to be a very fulfilling day.

This week was really full of great memories. First, I went to the JICA museum for a course field trip. We looked around the exhibits and learned about international cooperation and the history of people working around the world. It was interesting to see real photos and documents, and it made me think a lot about different countries and cultures. A few days later, I went to Showa Kinen Park with my girlfriend to see the autumn leaves. It was the last day of the season, so we were lucky. The trees were red and yellow, and the view was beautiful. We walked around slowly and took many photos together. The time felt very peaceful and special. After that, we celebrated the birthday of her friend. The three of us ate cake, talked a lot, and had a fun time. I was happy to join their celebration and laugh together. Finally, it was my girlfriend’s birthday. We went on a night cruise to celebrate. The city lights and the water looked amazing. I gave her a scarf as a present. I hope it keeps her warm this winter. When she smiled, I felt really happy. It was a perfect ending to the week.

Maybe it's a litlle early to talk about what we get throughout the whole year, because December just starts and usually is a fatansitic month that is full of joys and surprises. But it's the best time to look back what we did in the past 11 months and try our best to wrap up the whole year in the next 26 days. In the last 11 years, I experienced four seasons and left a lot of laughter and amazing monments. I gained a lot and also lost something, no matter what happened, I kept confident and clam to face all the challenges. I am 40 years old in 2025. There is a great Chinese saying that goes that one should have no more doubts at the age of 40. As for me, I am thankful for what I was in the past. I accept myself no matter how others think about me. I am responsable for my family and keep clam all the time.
