Birthday!!

Last Saturday, it was my birthday!

My friends came to my room at 12:00a.m. and said “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!”
But also they were angry with me a little bit because I wasn’t in my room.
At the Friday night, I was in Miho’s room for long time because I forgot that the next day is my birthday, so they had to take out me to my room at that time.


I got a lot of presents, but the happiest present was an iPod!!
I lost my iPod at Friday morning and I couldn’t find it.
I asked my friends but nobody knew where it was.
However the truth was that they found it and lied to me.
I was so depressed about it in all day, so I was REALLY glad when I got the iPod from them!!

They also gave me the birthday cake, and then we had it about 10 minutes.
It was REALLLY great time for me!! Thank you, my friends!!


At Saturday morning, I went to Manhattan with Miho to see the christmas tree at the Rockefeller center and go up the empire state building.

we got Manhattan at 10:30a.m. we went to the Clinton st. baking company and had lunch in the restaurant at 12:30p.m.

It was sooo delicious and I want to try to the blueberry pancake at next time.

After the lunch, we walked around the little Italy, Soho, and East village.
Then we went to the mid town to see the Christmas tree in the Rockefeller center.
The tree was the most beautiful tree that I had seen ever!!
We took some pictures and moved down to go to the Empire State Building.

The stars at the Empire State Building were wonderful but it was too cold to watch the stars for long time.
However we stayed there for a hour and took a lot of pictures.
We walked through the fifth avenue and went to the Korean town to buy our dinner.

The day was one of great birthdays for me and I had a lot of fun time!!
Thank you, my friends!!!

Tree Triming

Last Friday, some students and I went to Mrs. Pochintesta’s house to trim the Christmas tree.

At her house, there were many little girls who are friends of Mrs. Pochintesta’s daughters.
We made some ginger bread houses and cookies, but the house of our group was broken to pieces so we couldn’t finish it.



After the ginger bread house, Miho, Yu and I began trimming the tree.
The ornaments were a lot of colorful balls and long simple lights; however the tree became so nice after the trimming.

We had a time until the dinner, so Hanako and I taught how to make the Origami arts to little girls.
We made many Tsurus and the balloons and displayed them on the table.
They were really cute!!

At the dinner, we had cookies, meet and beans, breads, salad and pastas, and then song the Christmas songs with everyone.
It was REALLY fun time and I want to meet the little girls again!!

Cooking

Last Wednesday, I joined the cooking event that was planned by Mrs. Pochintesta in the cafeteria.

I made some casadiras which were kind of Tacos with Miho, Yu and other 9th grade students.
At the first, we cut some bacons and then, cheese, tometoes, bacons and some other toppings put on the tortillas.
We sandwiched the toppings with another tortilla and toasted them.

And also, we made the side dishes.
we rolled water chestnuts (that looked like chestnuts) with bacons and skewered them with pieces of pineapples, and baked.
At first, I didn't want to eat so much; but the taste was really good!!


It was SO FUN cooking time and the foods were delicious!!
I'm looking forward to the next cooking!
(We were going to make some sweets on next Wednesday!!)
