Lucky Dream!

This is Ernest Pullen and his wife.


He is 57 years old.

In 2004, he had a dream in which he won a lot of money.

He never forgot that dream.

In June 2010, He won $1,000,000 in the lottery!

He was so happy.

He quit his job.

But still he did not feel like his dream was complete.

In September 2010, He won the lottery again! This time he won $2,000,000!

Now he feels like his dream is complete!

Funny pictures!

The Maldives and Global Warming!

The Maldives are a group of islands in the Indian Ocean.

They are located southwest of India.

They are very beautiful.






The capital city is Male.




But the Maldives is the lowest country in the world.

The level of the seas are rising because of global warming.

Many of the islands of the Maldives will be under water soon.

How do you feel about this?

This airplane flies like a bird!

Todd Reichert is an engineering student at the University of Toronto. He designed an airplane that flies by flapping it`s wings like a bird. Actually, it was first designed by Leonardo da Vinci in 1480.


The airplane is called "Snowbird". Todd and some 30 other students had been working on the plane for 4 years.　It is 92.59 pounds and it has a wingspan of 104 feet.

Todd Reichert had to train for one year for the flight. He had to lose 8.2 kg. But he also had to be strong because the airplane has no engine. He had to pedal with his legs all while pulling on the wings to flap at the same time.

At the end of the flight he said "It was pretty wild."

My Summer!

This summer, I went on a diet.

I was 100 kg. I was too heavy!

At first, I ate only fruit for one week.


After one week I lost a lot of weight but I was so tired of eating only fruit!!!

Then, I ate only breakfast lunch and dinner. No snacks. Also, I did not eat anything after 6pm.

My weight dropped to 93kg. I was so happy!

Then, I went to Ireland for 12 days.


I ate french fries and hamburgers and drank beer with my friends.

When I got back to Japan, my weight had increased to 97kg. I was shocked!

I went back on the diet.

I have been on the diet since then. Now I am 95kg.

My goal is 90kg.

One interesting thing I did in Ireland was, I went to the All Ireland Hurling Final.

This is a sporting event. My county (Kilkenny) was fighting against another county (Tipperary). I went to Dublin to watch the match live.

But we lost......
