    My First JCRC Tour of Japan race!

    by
    November 13th I participated in my first JCRC race. Located at the foot of Mt. Fuji, there was beautiful scenery with the changing leaf colors and the snow capped Mt. Fuji. It was very cold in the morning, but the sun was out and as the morning progressed it got to a very decent temperature. 11月13日に僕は初めてのJCRC自転車大会参加しました! 富士山の西湖でJCRCステージ5に走りました!観光はとてもきれい! 紅葉がきれいで、雪が富士山の上にあった! 朝はちょっと寒いですけど天気は晴れだった。 少したつと暖かくなって良いレーシング日和だった! I raced in the X-Class, an open class for first time riders. Depending on how an X-class rider finishes, they get placed into ranked classes (SS-S-A-B-C-D-E-F). In an X-class race you don't really know what to expect. There are riders with no expirience and riders with a lot of expirience. I have been told by many riders that the X-class is full of crashes because people don't know how to ride in a peleton (large group of riders). Riding with other cyclists 2 centimeters away from you at high speeds is very scary for the first time and because of that many people panic and cause a crash. 僕はX-クラスに出ました。X-クラスはビギナークラスです。 レースの結果によってランキングもらいます(SS-S-A-B-C-D-E-F)。 X-クラスは皆、ビギナーだから、何が起こるか分からないです。 X-クラスで事故がいぱいあると聞いた。 経験がないですから、みんなとラインを合わせられなくて、ぶつかって事故が起こります。 My race went very fast. The race was 20 km long and I finished just over 29 minutes, placing 14th overall. As you will see in the video I was at the front for most of the race until the last 2 kilometers. The race ended in a bunch sprint, which I am not strong at. I am more suited for long stages where endurance is important. But with a 14th out of 120 finish, I was very happy with the results for my first race! 僕のレースはとても速かった。 20キロで29分過ぎ終わりました! 120人で14番目に完了しました! とても嬉しかった! 最後でスプリントがあった。僕は強くないスプリンターですけどよく出来ましたと思う! また、来年やりたい!

    ds106 assignment#3 song story

    by

    I love music. As I wrote on recent blog that i used performed and taught music in japan and several foreign countries, I am singer and dancer (and teacher). music goes around my vein. And I do not hesitate saying that especially since i heard the talk of timmmmyboy's "blog name" This time I want to introduce my favorite songs. I am sure it is boring just hearig stories, I would love to introduce songs in different aspects of expressions. hope it helps you from sleepiness. 
    Firstly, I would love to introduce this Hawaiian song. It is "Love and honesty" by ..... This song is the one my fiance choose to play for our engagement. Since we were doing workshop of music at theatre that day, he asked out lighting man to make a heart mark spot light and all of my friends in organization sang the chorus for us.  one of my blessed memory of my life. My favorite line goes
             There's more to life, than getting by, there's time in life that really try, my love for you really make me see, I won't give up, won't lose my dream,your being there is everything, and I promise you, love and honesty
    We are living apart until I graduate, so this song encourage me anytime i listen to it.




       Next song is my favorite song that I learned in Ireland when I was there with my organization. We went to so many different schools all over Ireland, and we always met 2 or 3 students singing this song. We found out that there is a TV prigram in Ireland which is like a talent show, and the winner of the show sang this song. I could not find the video but I more remember this song with kids eyes and their heart. Here is the music, but instead of only music, this one has dancer together, She is 14 and beautiful, very soulful. hope you can enjoy as you listen to music.

    Have you ever thought about losing listening functions? I always do since I love music so much. However this video really made me realized how music is universal. Please take a look at this video

    This is 2 people singing duet in sign language. I would love to say they are not signing,,,SINGING. especially the women got so much to express. I was almost jealous on people who can not hear. It just broke my stereotype that "if you cant hear, you cannot enjoy music" 


    Last one is the song i love to sing! this is my first song I learned guitar chords with it. i hope you enjoy!



    my webcam sucks...and sounds not really nice but it was SO easy to upload this movie by using youtube and imovie.
    this song is "the way i am" by "ingrid michelson"
