Coming-of-age-celecration

   On the 14th of January in 2013, I reached my coming-of-age-celebration. The day before the coming-of-age- celebration, I worked 10 hours and I was dead tired. I came back home and I prepared for next day and I went to bed at 1:00 a.m. On that day, I had to get up early, so I got up at 5:00 a.m. When I looked out of the window, outside was very dark like night and rained a little. I went to a salon and had my hair set. After that I came back my home and I ate a breakfast. My mother cooked sekihan which is rice with red beans for me. And I was dressing by my mother. She has a license of dressing Kimono, so she is good at dressing.

    I put on Kimono and  went to meeting place. I met my friends and went to hall. There were a lot of people who reached  20 years old. And I could meet my friends from elementary school, junior high school, high school and university. I talked them and took many pictures.

   After that I went to my junior high school teacher's house to meet him. He is our soft club's manager. He was very very strict manager. Our team member is 13 people. And the day, 11 people could go to the house. He will reach the age of sixty in this year, so this year is the last for him. He and his wife were glad our visit and celebrated our coming of age celebration. His wife gave us a gift. I was very happy!

   And after it finished, I went to the down town to meet my friends from high school. Because we wanted to a prikura which is like pictures. And after we finished it, we went back in each houses for own preparation of junior high school's alumni. I took off Kimono and put on the dress. My kimono's color is pink and party dress's color is also pink. Before I bought the party dress, I wanted to buy black color dress, but my mother didn't like the dress color. And she chose a pink one. When I saw the dress for the first time, I thought that the color of pink is too cute to put on for me. But my mother said me, "You look nice in this pink!" so I decided to buy pink one. When I went to the alumni, my friends said me, "Your dress is so cute!" so I was very happy and I thanked my mother.

   In the evening, I went to junior high school's alumni. Our junior high school is very big school, and there were a lot of student, I have a lot of class mates. We have 11 classes, so I couldn't remember all of students' face and their names. All of girls became beautiful woman, and more than half of boys became cool man and all of boys became tall and their voice changed. So when I met them first, I couldn't realized who them were. We enjoyed talking over our junior high school days. I could talk with people whom I had never talked before. And I and my friends were very hungry so we ate a lot of dishes, they were so good. It was very fun time and I could make new important memories. This memory is my treasure.

   After the alumni, I went to another alumni of elementary school. My class has been get along well since we graduated from elementary school. We went to the local Izakaya. And we enjoyed talking over our elementary school days. On New Year's Day, we received a letter from us of 12 years old. When we graduated from elementary school, we wrote a letter for future us. So while the alumni, we talked about the letter. I wrote my letter about my dreams, at the time I wanted to be a kindergarten teacher. Now my dream changed, but I study hard for my dream come true. We enjoyed talking, eating, drinking and broke up at the Izakaya.

   After that I had to go to down town, because I had a promise to go to high school's alumni. When I arrived at down town, the alumni already started. They enjoyed table tennis, so I joined it and won the 2 games. When I played it, I put on high heeled shoes, so it was very hard to play table tennis, but it was very very fun! I want to play table tennis with them again.

   After playing table tennis, boys went to Izakaya to drink alcohol, but girls didn't want to drink alcohol, so we broke up at the place. My friends went to Yoshinoya to eat something, but I didn't want to eat, so I said them good-bye. And I went to karaoke to join my friends from elementary school. I sang for Ikimonogakari, FUNKY MONKEY BABYS, YUI, Hikaru Utada and Ai Ootsuka. I am not good at singing, but I like sing a song. It was very fun time.

   One of my friends had to go back home, so we left the karaoke. When we left the place, I met my friends who I played table tennis together a little while ago. So I joined them and went to Izakaya. One of my friend was dead drunk and his character changed. And he was very funny. Yesterday I met him and asked, "Do you remember the day?" but he didn't remembered everything.

   After that one of my friends had to go back his home, he live in Kyoto now. So we went to Kumamoto station for him. And we said good-bye and let's meet again in spring vacation.

My coming-of-age day was  very very fun! This day was my treasure of my life! Thanks my parents! and my friends! I love you!!!
