★My grandmother's kitchen★

　　I love my grandmother’s messy, but clean and useful kitchen. There’re a cupboard with full of dishes, pans, and other tableware. That looks like unclosed trunk with full of staffs. She took off all of door, so she can look over what she wants to use. There’re also a shelf with full of convenience foods. When she cooks, she only cooks for herself, because she lives alone. If somebody suddenly visits her, she doesn’t get ready for entertaining guest. She hates that, so she always has extras in many things. Her kitchen has everything, but only my grandmother knows where they are. Nobody can use things easily, because there are too much things. She is like a witch in her kitchen, she can make take out things in seconds. I’m dreaming of having my kitchen like that in my future.

★My room★

　　　My room is like Treasure Island only for kids. There are so many stuffs and refuses there. I wondered why I made my room like this. I like to collect things, toys stuffed toy, giveaway from snacks and so on. For example, a dozen of m&m’s figure, many soft toys of Disney, and many old stuffs I used before. I totally don’t need them, but I cannot through away them. For evidence, my two years old niece loves my room. She entered there once, when we try to make her out, every time she cries and doesn’t want to go out. I am not a little girl any more, maybe I should give them to my niece and make my room more simple like a woman.

★My Favorit Place★

　　My favorite palaces are beaches. When I feel some stress, or sadness, I go some place near the beach. There, I can relax so much. Sounds of waves, people, and nice winds, everything heals my feelings. I just sit down with little bit distance from beach, and staring waves, people, and sky. Nothing can come up to my head. Best season for that in Okinawa is fall. In that season, beach is not too hot, has not too much people, and has good sun shine and winds. Someday, I want to live the place that I can see the beach by porch. Then I will spend my free time there.

★My Refrigerator★

　　　I lived with my family together. But my father lives separated by himself for work at Yonaguni island. So in my house, there are only 3 of member, mother, younger brother and me. My mother also works as a teacher. She doesn’t have much time for doing housework. When I have time, I help it, but these days, I also don’t have time. My mother is on diet now, and I don’t eat much. So only my brother eats meal in my house. Both of us stopped cooking. Because of that, my refrigerator has always nothing in there.

★My sister★

　　I have such a great sister. She is two years older than me. She is very talented. I tried many things under her influence. She has very different character from me. She is very active, strong, and brave. I always long for her life. We have many mutual hobbies. And both of us want to try, but I don’t have enough guts to do it. My sister try every things that she want to do, she doesn’t think anything, just do them. I think too much before my trying. One day, I started following her way to try. It changed my life!! There is no difficult thing. I could try many things because of her. I am very proud of her.

★My classmate★

　I have a very fanny friend in my collage. She lives far away from school. But her hobby is sleeping. At school many times when I saw her, she was in her pajama. If she wore like that, she always put some make up. I have asked her someday, If you didn’t take some times for making up, you won’t have to be in hurry. “I didn’t take time for making up, I do that with driving to school!” Her answer was like that. That made me have some respect for her.　

　We have many similar points each other. Way of life, school, favorites, so if I have some problem, I always ask her to give some advice. We have almost same way to think. So we can know each other’s feeling easily.

　She is also working KFC. Sometimes, we go driving with chickens she brought after working. We’re just chatting, laughing, wasting time. But we like spending time like that. I think she is the best friend.
