Do you believe Santa?? I believe Santa!! But Santa doesn't give me present recently. Why???? But I notice reason to read this book.
December is always a busy time of year at the North Pole. This is the home of Santa's toy factory. One year, it was especially busy. Santa was touring the factory making sure things were going to plan. As usual, his team of tiny elves was hard at work. Each elf had a different job. Dennis opened the letter sent by boys and girls. Bad's checked whether they'd been good or bad. Marco read what the good children wanted for Christmas. And Beth wrote lists of all the toys to be made. Paddy and Pip were busy operating the toymaker. Paddy read out the name of a toy. Pip
typed it into a computer. The toy maker built it ...wrapped it... and stuck on a label. Alfie was sleeping the store room. He had the most boring job in the factory. It was so boring, he often feels asleep. "Wake up, Alfie!!" boomed Santa.” It’s time to go home." "Already??" yawned Alfie. "You're always asleep on the job," complained Santa. "Go home," he ordered," and don't come back tomorrow unless you're wide awake." Alfie trudged through the deserted factory. " If I was in charge of the toymaker, I'd never be bored," he sighed. Alfie had often wanted a closer look at the magical machine. Now was his chance. Climbing on top, he peeked down the main tube. But he lost his balance and fell in!!! Hours later, Alfie awoke surround by cogs and wires. "I must have knocked myself out," he thought. Suddenly, Alfie felt the walls shake. Paddy and Pip had started up the machine. “Oh no!" yelled Alfie. "I'll be squished to piece." Alfie scramble around in panic, tryning to get out. But the more he wriggled, the more he got tangled in the wiring. Alfie's wriggling had an odd effect on the toymaker. The first few toys came out fine...But the next stranger and stranger and stranger... The toy maker began churning out hundreds of little Alfie dolls. Santa tried to turn it off, but it just kept going. With an enormous burp, the machine shot out the real elf. Santa glared angrily at Alfie. "The toy maker will take weeks to fix and there are still hundreds of toys to make." "I'm s..s...sorry," sniffed Alfie. "I'll have to give these dolls instead," said Santa sadly. That year, instead of roller skates or a football, hundreds of children received Alfie dolls. And they were the most popular toy ever!! Next year, Santa and his elves had request for thousands more. So the elves fixed the toymaker to make Alfie in charge -as long as he stayed on the outside this time.
Alfie was missed!!! Therefore I couldn’t get present. I'm so sorry, but I hope to get present this Christmas.

Do you like a dog?? Yes, of course. So, do you like dingo?? I di
dn't like a dingo because dingo is danger animal. However I like the dingo to read this book.
Ted and Mary lived on a farm. It was a very big farm with a lot of sheep. One day, Ted was out looking after the sheep. He found a baby dingo. He took it home to Mary. “Here’s baby for you to look after," Ted said to Mary. He gave her the baby dingo. ”I can't took after the baby dingo," Mary said. " When he gets big he will eat the sheep." “No, he won't," said Ted. “Look after him like puppy and he will be like a dog. He will not eat the sheep when he gets big." So Mary looked after the dingo like he was a puppy. She made him a bed inside. She fed him milk. " I'm going to call him Ringo," Mary said to Ted. "Ringo the dingo." “Ringo can come out with me and look after the sheep," Ted said. So Ringo went out with Ted to look after the sheep. Ringo got bigger and bigger. He got more and more like a dog. But he did not dark like a dog. He howled like a dingo. One night, Ted heard a a howl. It was a dingo howl. “A dingo is after the sheep," he said to Mary. Ringo was sad. He liked the sheep. So he went out. He went to see who was getting the sheep. Then he saw the dingo. It was coming up to the sheep. Ringo howled at the dingo. " Go away," he howled. "Go away from the sheep." The dingo ran away. It did not get the sheep. Mary said, " The dingo is howling again. Go out and look after the sheep, Ted." " NO, “said Ted. " That howl was not the dingo who is after the sheep. That howl was Ringo. He is out there. He will look after the sheep." And Ringo did. He saved the sheep.
I think Ringo like a Babe. Do you know Babe of movie?? I like that movie. So, I like this story. Ringo is very kindly.

I feel that I am lonely, but I must do it because there are a lot of my must do it.
I am not lucky recently. Please give me happiness. However, I may be in love recently, because when I meet one person, I get well very much. I don' t know about my feeling yet., but I can enjoy this time. Though I do not understand the feeling of the person, it is not a problem for me. It is the first time that I became such a feeling. I am enough just to be able to talk with the person. No, but after all I want to marry the person. I love him. If it is his sake, I can do anything. If there is even him, as for me, the thing wanting has nothing.

Yoshimi's blog is cute!! I surprised by her technique of power point. It is like a slide movie. Everyone can enjoy by Yoshimi's blog!! This blog have many cute charecter. I love cute charecter. I think I want to change my blog like her blog.
My blog is not perfect yet. I am not good at treating a machine. Of course as for the PC. Why can the teachers use the PC skillfully in that way? I want to know. I make an effort so that a PC is usable. I took qualification of Microsoft Word 2003 . I went to the lecture every day for two weeks. However, my skill of PC is not good enough. As for the next, I try so hard that I take a qualification of the Excel.
By the way, do you have any favorite web site?? I like YouTube. Of Corse you know Youtube. I like foreign countries movie or video. I can watch movie or video on YouTube anytime. Sometimes I watched foreign countries video drama. Sometimes I watched promotion video of music and concert of singer. YouTube is very funny place. I think that it is very lucky that I can watch an overseas drama, because my house does not join wow wow and Cable Television such as SKY PerfecTV together. I forget that time passes when I look at the site. I have a favorite web site one more.
It is the site where there is shopping. I rarely do shopping on the Internet, but I am happy just to look. Do you like pretty shoes and accessories? I know. I love it, too. Can you get everything which you liked? If you can get all the things you wanting, you are so rich. However, I must endure sh
opping because I am not a rich person. But it is free I watch a dear thing
and a favorite thing, and to enjoy. I take it as always control a desire of the shopping. There is sometimes me when I cannot endure it. How do you control a desire of the shopping?? Tell Me♪ And show me it if there is your recommended interesting web site. I like looking for not only the shopping of clothes but also a delicious thing. If you find the delicious thing, please teach it by all means. I want to eat various things. If I have an chance, I want to eat the frogs. I have eaten a tortoise. That taste is so-so.

I love my gran. This book’s gran is like my gran or my grandpa. First, a car came to the house, the children ran to see. “It’s Gran.” said Kipper. They bade welcome to gran. The children helped. They took gran’s things. “What a lot of things!” said Kipper. The children liked Gran and Gran liked children. The children want to play with Gran. Gran played with the children. They played inside, but Gran couldn’t play well. So they went outside and played football, but Gran couldn’t play well too. She broke something. Gran took the children outside. They went in Gran’s old car. Wilf and Wilma went too. Gran took them to the fun park. The children began to run. They wanted to go on everything. The children went on the jumping castle. The children jumped and jumped, bound and bound. They called Gran. Gran went on the castle. She jumped and bound. They enjoyed, but Gran made a hole in the castle. The castle began to go down.

I love this picture book. This story is very pretty. There is a boy who name Kipper. Kipper wanted a party, but nobody wanted to come. He got his toys. He wanted a cake. He put in cornflakes. He put in tomato souse. He put in milk. He put in sugar. He put in baked beans. Mum was cross. Kipper was sorry.
I think Kipper is very pretty boy. I am going to go US in this summer vacation. My host family has a little girl. She is two years old. I will play with her. I guess she is like Kipper. I'm looking forward to play with her. I read picture book to her.

SEISSORHANDS
SEISSORHANDS is a very good movie.
The leading role is Jonny Depp. He is a robot made by a certain doctor. However, he is an unfinished robot. Because his hand was scissors. He was living alone for years. However, one day he would live with a certain family and appeared in the town for the first time. If there was the person who welcomed him, there was the person who was not so. And the people who did not feel his existence good tormented him. However, he was a tender person. He was going to never revenge them. It was sake of the people who loved him, and it was sake of the people whom he loved. I recommend this movie. Please watch this movie by all means.

Love music
Mariah carey is my favorite artist. Her voice is beautiful. Her lyrics impress people.I listen to her song and find happiness. I think her mind is beautiful. I want to listen everybody her song. I like her sweet face and glamour body. I want to be like her. I recommend "Bye Bye".
(Lyrics)
This is for my peoples who just lost somebodyYour best friend, your baby, your man, or your ladyPut your hand way up highWe will never say bye (no, no, no)Mamas, daddies, sisters, brothers, friends and cousinsThis is for my peoples who lost their grandmothersLift your head to the sky 'cause we will never say bye
As a child there were them timesI didn't get it but you kept me in lineI didn't know why you didn't show up sometimesIt's something more than saying "I miss you"But when we talked tooAll them grown folk thingsSeparation bringsYou never let me know itYou never let it show becauseYou loved me and obviouslyThere's so much more left to sayIf you were with me today face to face
[Chorus:]I never knew I could hurt like thisAnd everyday life goes on like"I wish I could talk to you for awhile""I wish I could find a way try not to cry"As time goes byAnd soon as you reach a better placeStill I'll give the whole world to see your faceAnd I'm right here next to youIt feels like you gone too soonThe hardest thing to do is say bye bye
It is what a good lyrics! I was healed by this lyrics. Everybody listens to this music,and please shed tears.
