Tuluk al [ the setting sun ]

I took these photoes near my house,,,here in Marshall Islands, you can
see the ocean from everywhere!

Last assembly

This is the last assembly for me in Marshall Islnads High School...now
we have a new principal.

Totoro watching!

They are watching Japanese movie "TOTOTRO"! It's very popular and
famous in Japan. I also really like it because main characters are 2
sisters like us. Little Mei-chan reminds me my cute sister!

Arts Festival Article

My name was written in today's newspaper, it said that" 'never painted
before' water color paint of Misa ........."BUT! My name was
different....like Misa OSAKA????Osaka is one of the cities' name in
Japan.But still good!!!

Look for cellphone!

Before, I showed my cellphone on this website, I lost it last Tuesday
and I really need to find. Last Tuesday I was walking from MWSC(in
front of JICA Office) until capital building. And then I took taxi to
RRE. And in RRE, I found I lost my cellphone. If you find out I'll
give you 5 dollars and now they are announcing on the radio.

Shodo-書道- Japanese calligraphy

Do you know Japanese calligraphy? I taught it to my students last week
and it was fun!!! I have learned it since I was 5 years old.

Na noniep - Marshallese movie -

I went to see a new Marshallese movie last night. The title is "Na noniep"=I am the good fairy, a little bit horror movie but it's related to Marshallese Black Magic...maybe they really like black magic.

JAMBO Art Festival

Art Festival preparation

Today we are going to hold the festival…the place just rebuilt and
new. From inside, we can see the ocean…wow! My paints are also there.
My favorite one is Big with BOB(pandanaus)!

New principal

Finally we got a new principal! Since last December, we hadn't had our
principal...

Early morning jambo

'Jambo' is a Marshallese word and a Japanese word. It comes from Japanese.
It means "walking"=sanpo in Japanese.

Today I tried to walk from 8 o'clock in the morning for 30 minutes.
I felt comfortable and I am still on the way to my house while I am writing this article.
I'm going to make pancakes and have breakfast...

日曜日の朝早く"チャンボ"をした。チャンボは散歩のことで、日本語からマーシャル語になっている。
本当は寝ていたかったがとりあえず起きて歩いてみた.
すこし曇り空だったので、快適に歩くことができた.

帰りはスーパーによったり,ネットしたりと寄り道が多かったが,
気分がよかった!

I am not a “ Japanese ” girl anymore

There is some hair salons here, but there is no Japanese style hair salon what we call "Biyooin" in Japanese. Of coursI miss it very much, now my hair is very messy and I am not a “ Japanese ” girl anymore.

I hardly used elastic hair bands when I was in Japan. I used a curling iron or  blow drying on my hair.

In Marshall, it’s always windy so hair becomes naturally messy. So I have to tie up my hair but I don’t like it.

Since I arrived here, my lifestyle has changed a lot because the Marshallese life style forces me to do so.

As I have come to know about life in the southern islands, it has been more difficult from what I originally thought it would be. There is a shortage of  water, no electric power, and the sun is bright. But they live on this islands...

Picnic as a prize!

We went to Laura beach as a prize. Many groups in MIHS won and got prizes! In the bus, so many students there and 3 people sat on a seat for 2 people! I was very happy as I saw many students' smile...

Japanese speech contest Emoj!

Japanese speech contest finished! I was very relieved. This year's contestants were very enthusiastic and they practiced very very hard...Half of them got prizes. But the most important thing is, they practiced a lot and they did their best.

Japanese speech contest

How education deep is...

People say that the education will reveal its results in 10 or 20 years.

That’s why a girl who was scolded so many times will come to realize what her teachers said at the time…Why did my teacher say this…?

Some will realize long afterward.

How deep education is…

Japanese speech contest tomorrow

Tomorrow we have a Japanese speech contest.

I am very nervous even though I myself am not going to perform. I hope my students will perform well and do their best!!!
