★Suger / 70g
☆Two Eggs
★Weak flour / 27g
☆Whipped cream / 200g
★Lemon Juice / Two Tablespoons

    Weak flour is brandished.
    The remaining heat of the oven is carried out to 160 degrees.

2. It mixes until it puts cream cheese into a ball and becomes smooth by spatula.

3. If it becomes smooth, sugar will be added and it will mix with a whisk.

4. It puts in one egg at a time, and mixes well each time.

5. In addition to the order of the weak flour, the whipped cream, and lemon juice, it often mixes each time.

Studying a song

1. Piece Of Me / Britney Spears



2. I think this song is about her! She has no private because so many paparazzi follow her all the time. If she gain her weight someone say she is fat, but if she lose her weight, also someone say she is skin... or if she's dating or break up with someone, the paparazzi take photos of them.
So it's a kind of message to her enemies like paparazzies! 'Piece Of Me' (title of this song) is kind of metaphor... it means 'you want to fight with me'.... or something like that!

3. I'm a normal person so I can't imagine how hard her life is. Because she's now really famous person all of the world, so everyone wanna know about her life but because of that people, the paparazzi follow her all the time and try to take photos of her life style and private. But I think she's cool because she made this nice song to them!

4. Do you wanna piece of me? 私にけんか売ってるの?(挑発)

(Lyrics)

I'm Miss American Dream since I was 17
Don't matter if I step on the scene
Or sneak away to the Philippines
They're still gonna put pictures of my derriere in the magazine
You want a piece of me?
You want a piece of me...

I'm Miss bad media karma
Another day another drama
Guess I can't see the harm
In working and being a mama
And with a kid on my arm
I'm still an exceptional earner
And you want a piece of me

I'm Mrs. Lifestyles of the rich and famous
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Oh my God that Britney's Shameless
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Extra! Extra! this just in
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. she's too big now she's too thin
(You want a piece of me)

I'm Mrs. 'You want a piece of me?'
Tryin' and pissin' me off
Well get in line with the paparazzi
Who's flippin' me off
Hopin' I'll resort to some havoc
And end up settlin' in court
Now are you sure you want a piece of me? (you want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. 'Most likely to get on the TV for strippin' on the streets'
When getting the groceries, no, for real..
Are you kidding me?
No wonder there's panic in this industry
I mean please...
Do you want a piece of me?

I'm Mrs. Lifestyles of the rich and famous
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Oh my God that Britney's Shameless
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Extra! Extra! this just in
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. she's too big now she's too thin
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Miss American Dream since I was 17
Don't matter if I step on the scene
Or sneak away to the Philippines
They're still gonna put pictures of my derriere in the magazine
You want a piece of me?
You want a piece of me...
You want a piece of me?
I'm Mrs. Lifestyles of the rich and famous
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Oh my God that Britney's Shameless
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Extra! Extra! this just in
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. she's too big now she's too thin
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Lifestyles of the rich and famous
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Oh my God that Britney's Shameless
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. Extra! Extra! this just in
(You want a piece of me)
I'm Mrs. she's too big now she's too thin
(You want a piece of me)
Oh yeah
You want a piece of me

About Music

I like western musics! And especially, my favorite singer is Britney Spears. I think she's "Queen Of POP"!! I like her because her musics and her performances are sooooooooo cool and cheer me up :) I'm listening her songs when I'm walking or riding on the train or in the car. I've never been to her concert, but if she comes to Japan and have a concert, I will go!

some words are difficult but not too difficult so it's fine!

5. In the future, how can you study better?

Make up class

1. Hannah Montana Season2 ep2 / 90 minitues

2. About the movie: Jake kisses Miley but then he left her because he has new movie shoot. So Miley was angry about it. After 6 months, he came back and apologized to her but she's still angry! So he tries to make up with her.

3. New Words: glimmer = わずかなきざし , bras = ブラ , article = 新聞や雑誌の記事・論説 , big whoop = 大嘘(?) , zilch = 零,ゼロ,無 , el = 99.999999999パーセント、または、0.99999999999と、9が11個並ぶくらい高精度または高純度であること, zippo = ゼロ,無 , willpower = 意志力,自制力(self-control) , certificate =  (…の)証明書,(保)証書,検定証 ,

4. My opinion: Hannah Monatan is secret idol. Noboday knows about HM is Miley. Just her 2 best friends, Lily and Oliver, know. After they made up, Jake told Miley to his really big secret so she felt gilt about she has a big secret (about HM.) Then she decided to told about the secret :) HAPPY END :D

Sightseeing / Rome, Italy

flying hotel sightseeing



new words: rooftop = 屋上, vantage = 見晴らしの良い, miraculous = 奇跡的な, glitter = キラキラ, hillsides = 山の斜面, prospect  = 見通し

It's about the sunset of Italy. A woman says that the sunset is like a miraculous view! As reds, oranges, and yellows streak the sky, so maybe the Italian sunset becomes an eternal memory..

June 6th / Free Study :)

1. YouTube / Britney Spears interview 2001

2. Her movie comes soon so she came to advertisement about it. It was her first time to acting so interviewer asked her about how she felt to act for the fist time. She said "begging of act was nervous but she had great acting teacher and environment so it was COOL!". After talking about the movie, she talked about when she met Madonna and her daughter. Normally, she's not nervous meeting people but when she met Madonna for the first time, she said "something came over my body" means I think she was nervous and really excited. She wanted to hug with Madonna so she did!! Madonna's daughter was nervous too when she met Britney Spears :) She has all Britney's doll and she wanted tell her about it but could't because of nervous, so Madonna told Britney about it instead of her! Britney tought "that's SWEET". Main point was like that! She was talking about her sister and her boyfriend (Justin Timberlake)

3. New Words : dork = [N] 馬鹿なやつ、まぬけ、変な奴、嫌な奴

4. I'm her big fan so I sometimes watch her interview movies at home. Watching interview is really good study for listning fluency. After I came back to Japan, I didn't have chance to talk to foreigners. So I'm worried about my listnening and speaking skills gonna bad. So I started to watch movies in English :)
Interviews and movies speak really fast but I think I don't have to try to listen all words! Because we can understand what they say, if we can understand some important words from each sentences.. And after that, try to start what they say in each sentences
