何上?

Hello, my name is Jake. I am a senior at Michigan State University. I study Japanese sometimes. My major is Telecommunications and Information Studies. After graduating I plan on taking the GMAT and applying for business school. I studied Japanese both semesters last year and I am studying it now.

I've lived in Michigan my whole life. My mother is Filipino and I have been to the Philippines twice. Next semester I plan on studying abroad in Japan, if I can get the finances situated. It will be the first time for me to study in another country, so I am excited if I can go.

I don't really know what to talk about in these blogs. I heard that there was a new Japanese Prime Minister named Taro Asou. Sounds pretty insane. I hope he is good. How is Nagoya? Is it crazy there?

みなさん今日は

みなさん今日は。僕はちゃともうします。高校の時、日本人の友だちは"じゅん"と呼びましたが、今はみんなLOCOと呼んでいます。僕はどちでもいいんです。韓国のソウルからきました。でも、１６歳の時ニューヨークで高校へ行きました。高校を卒業してワシントンD.C.で音楽を勉強していましたが、たくさんもんだいがあって韓国に帰りました。色々な事があったあとで韓国の軍隊で２年以上働いたんです。とうとう自由になってミシガン州立大学には２００７年の１月にきました。今のせんもんはビシネスで、一人でアパートに住んでいます。料理をする事が好きになっているから、おかしいけどおいしい食べ物の作り方やとったしゃしんをここにポストしようと思っています。母が今カリフォルニアに住んでいて僕も休みの時、たいていカリフォルニアに行くから、旅行のしゃしんもとるつもりです。

またあとで書くから、みなさんお休み。

ps-しゃしんは２００５年にタイでとったのです。"The Beach"と言う映画をとった所です。

はじめまして。私はサーシャマスターズジョーンズです。ミシガン州立大学の三年生で、せんもんはInterdisciplinary HumanitiesとProfessonal Writingです。しゅみはしばいをすることや、話を書くことや、えをかくことです。私はテレビゲームの中でファイナルファンタシーが一ばん好きです。まんがを読んで、アニメを見るのが好きです。今、みやざきさんの映画とフルメタルアルケミシトが一ばん好きです。どうぞよろしくおねがします。

Unfortunately I do not draw a lot for fun because I never seem to have time, but when I do find the time to draw it tends to be in manga style. Here are a few of my most recent quick sketches, although even these are fairly old. Over the summer I was able to finally use my how-to-draw manga books that I have had for years. (Since I was just copying from the how-to books I didn’t put any of those drawings up, even though they are the most recent.) But I didn’t get very far before school started, and now I haven’t found the time to draw anything. Hopefully next semester when I have my art class I will be able to draw some more, even if it isn’t in manga style.

What I am.

My name's "Ri", which is North Korean way of saying my name, but my origin isn't North Korea. JP people call me "Ri" anyway because here in N.America, my last name has suddenly become Lee from "I" (pronunced "ee"). And Lee is pronunced "Ri" in Japanese, apparently. Personally, I don't mind because "Ri" sounds prettier than just "I". I just don't know why my name should be transformed to Lee. There are too many Lees out there. I would want something unique for my name.

It's been almost a month since I came to MSU. Generally, I like the north-half of the campus because it looks real collegiate. The south-half seems a bit industrial. If there hadn't been the Rape Trail near my dorm, I would have gone crazy two weeks earlier.
The Rape Trail is some forest in the campus. I like the Rape Trail so much. It's one of the most beautiful place in the campus. Too bad it's called "R.T" thanks to perverts.
Other than that, I like

the Moon > the Sun
Certain Game tracks (Mostly from Falcom)
Forest
The quiet beach
Smell of Coffee
I used to like the smell of cigarettes
Most of my teachers here
shopping
Smirnoff Vanilla + Dr Pepper
Anne of Green Gables (only the first volume of the series)
Purple, Royal Red
Bookstores
Cafes that don't kick me out for reading books
Clear winter sky
Hippie kind of music
Daydreaming
