Happy 19th Birthday!
The 4th of December was my 19th birthday. I was so glad that many of my classmates and other friends back in Kakogawa called me, sent me email, and said "Happy Birthday" to me. Although I don't want to be older any more, it is great that my friends remember my birthday (*^_^*)

Having no time!
It's already 3:50 and I don't have enough time to write today's journal, though now I'm doing that. Today I had to answer some questions related to the plan of dispatching Japanese SDF troops to Iraq. It was quite hard and I have only 5 minutes to do today's journal. And now only 2 minutes are left and I have to shut the computer down. So goodbye!

Kotatsu
I got kotatsu which I've ordered from a mail-order house the other day and it is very comfortable. Altough I hate winter, I like to stay at the kotatsu all day just watching TV or reading magazines. I look forward to the winter holidays.

We love Michelle
Atsuko, Yuko, and I went to Michelle Branch's live in Nanba the other day. It was great. The live took place at a small live house so that the stage was close enough for us to see her face clearly. She was great, and I was glad and laughed when she said "Congratulation for the Hanshin Tigers!" I think that is really Osaka thing.
