So, this is a standard menu.
It was a little hot, and good☆
Then, we entered the classroom.
It was hard to find the epmty room.
We had a good time, so we decided to plan university tour again♪

By the way, I haven't seen my family for a long time.
We talked and talked, and enjoyed dinner together.
I had a nice weekend☆

Lockup.

Do you know The Lockup?
It is an unique pub in Shibuya.
The room is like lockup, and the glass is beaker.
The name of menu is also unusual.
I went there after school with my friends.
The way to the reception desk was like a haunted house.
Therefore, we were astonished and screamed.
It was so thrilling.
In the middle of talking and drinking, the lights turned off suddenly.
Then, a person who pretended monster threatened us.
We cried out again, and then, we laughed.
This pub is interesting.
If you have never gone, I recommend to go for excitation.

I will take a secretary examination tomorrow.
The type is the second degree.
I started taking the course at Ferris in May.

So, he gave us the present for tomorrow.
It was a tea bag and GODIVA chocolate!
He also left a message for us.
It was written that "Well done. Let's take a test with confidence and the presence of mind. Please feel relaxed, having a cup of tea."
I'm glad about this surprise.

The title is "いつでも夢を."
It was written by Tomoki Tsujiuchi.
He is from Fukuoka Prefecture, and he was a solo singer.
I read his works for the first time.
I was touched his description.
My favorite part in this story is the words which a man says; I think the life is a rainbow.
Moreover, I read another his novel, "青空のルーレット."

The theme of this story is dream and friendship.
I recommend these books.

The master is kind, and the cooking is very good, of course.
Today, she cooked some dishes for me.
For example, pumpkin boiled and seasoned, broccoli salad, cucumber pickles, etc.
She made them too much, so, I will bring them to school for lunch on Monday.
Thank you, mum☆

I want to see...

I want to see this movie, 27 Dresses. Here is some reviews:

olympic_fanatic from United States:"At first, I wasn't excited to see it because I thought it would be just another cheesy romantic comedy, "chick-flick" if you will. I was wrong. "27 Dresses" was a romantic comedy everyone could enjoy..."

Brittany from Australia:"The script was clever and witty...The acting was solid the entire film...I enjoyed myself so much in fact, that I am going to watch the movie again tomorrow with my sister!"

musicallover84 from United States:"It's not perfect but pretty good...The movie has good laughs in it...It's a cute movie that everyone would enjoy."

Based on the review, I want to see this film even more! According to their reviews, I guess this is a light, entertaining romantic comedy movie. Someone says the plot is predictable. But, I think it is surely worth watching!

Cake.

Last night, I made a sponge cake for my friend.
Recently, I knew she was not fine.
Therefore, I expected that she became happy by my cake.
The ingredients are flour, suger, egg, butter, honey, baking powder, and rum.
I have never cooked this cake.
So, I looked the recipe carefully.
When the cake was about to finish baking, my room filled with the sweet smell.
After it cooled down, I cut it.
Then, I tasted it, and I thought it was good!
Tonight, I will give her the present☆
