Let me introduce myself. There are 3 people in my family: my mother, father, and I. I used to have some chicks, but one day I came back home and all of them died. It was a horrible shock, and I still remember. Since then I haven't had any pets because I'm afraid of losing them again. My mother sometimes nags me because she's always concerned about me and I feel she loves me very much. My father is such a hard worker that he works late everyday for us. I really appreciate him. Even though he's tired from work, he always says something funny to make us laugh. He is concerned about us very much and is very gentle. I think I'm very lucky to be their daughter.

My hobbies are playing the piano, shopping, studying languages, chatting with my friends, watching movies, walking, listening to music, etc… there are numerous things I like to do. I consider everything I like to do is my hobby. The numbers might get bigger and bigger. My favorite hobbies are walking and shopping!! I like walking while listening to music or chatting with people. I can not articulately describe it, but I feel very refreshed by walking as freeing from all worries. I like shopping because I find a new me every time I put on new clothes. Don't you think that you have a different aura when your mind is refreshed? For instance, if you wear something bright and pop, you become happy and frolic like a child, or wearing monotone makes you feel mature. See? You agree with me, right? By the way, my favorite brand is Aberchrombie & Fitch! If you like it, too, please email me.

I'm really into my latest part-time work. I started the other day and have been enjoying working at a convenient store. It's fun to see a wide rage of customers coming into the store. If by any chance someone says "good job" to me, it makes me happy!! I started working because I liked to have a social experience and know value of money. Of course I wanted to earn money too!! I used to want to spend money as much as I had in my wallet, and saving money was such a hard task. So I thought I would not act like this if I earn money by working myself. Through working, I could change myself being selfish like most only children tend to be, and began to have a sense of responsibility. Also, I began to think about my future more seriously. I like an earnest way of living that I lead now.

Moku and Asuka are my best friends. Moku is Chinese and came to Japan around the time I came to Japan. Also her family environment is similar to mine. We became friends very soon. Though I've known her since high school, I feel like I've known her since I was little that we completely open ourselves to each other. We go home together, go shopping, go to karaoke, talk about love and worries… we are absolutely perfect to each other. Oops, don't get the wrong idea about us!! We are not in a queer relationship! (laugh) Asuka and I went to the same elementary school and junior high school, but we became friends when we were in junior high school. She is naturally funny so I laugh a lot when I am with her. Though we went to different high schools, we still go to festivals and go to the movies together nurturing our friendship. Asuka brings many photos of her high school, and I like listening to her talk while looking at them.

I have a dream of becoming a career woman who works all over the world!! I was raised in an environment where many languages are spoken so I think I have a strong sense of languages. Plus, I study German as a second foreign language at school now, so my primary aim is to accomplish learning these languages. I just respect people who are able to manage several languages. I know it is not easy, but I believe in a quote that says "if you try, you can make it," and will be one of them in the future!

How do you like my self-introduction? I am glad if you have a slight understanding of me from this writing. As you can see, I'm such a tomboy, but I hope we can become friends and to have a wonderful time together! See you soon!
