2008.03.30 Sunday
Universal Studios!!
Today I woke up before noon and visited Universal Studios!
First, I was walking around.
I had fun with tons of attractions.
The Mummy attraction was so fun that I rode it three times!!
Also, Jurassic Park and the Shrek ones... and much more.
Then I had fun taking pictures.
Like a picture that looks like The Universal Studios.
Here I am being surprised by my own weight.
ET and me as a pair.
Then a baby tyrannosaurs latching onto me.
Then I found the mom.
And in the end, I was captured again.
Jaws is eating me!! LOL
And much more.
Suddenly a presumption,
This!!!! (Kya~~~~~??!??!!)
Who is it? Who does it look like?
Actually I liked it, it was great.
When the make-up person finished working on me, I was in shock!!
Got it!
I'm not a typically classy person, I always end up laughing!!
Well, in Japan I'm not a shy person either.
At night, I had Japanese food! (Not inside Universal Studios, LOL)
And I still had that make-up on
It was out of place.... LOL
I also went to the supermarket.....
Looks good on me....
Well, that's it.

Little by little↑
This morning I practiced my English pronunciation.
It's really difficult. I can't speak in English at all.
Korean, well I can speak a few words!
Chinese... well, I can say my name LOL
But... still, I've been here for a week so....
Little by little I'll be able to do the pronunciation.
And then, if I speak it. it'll be the best!
Ah, yeah, today I had voice training.....
It seems I was able to improve my voice
This is also step by step!
Then....
I went to the gym!!
For now I'm doing 45 minutes of workout: walking fast in a running machine (?), also in something that looked like a bicycle, sit-ups, back and push-ups!!!
The push-ups are hard, isn't? ..... LOL
By the way, I didn't say it yesterday, but some Japanese who is living in L.A. told me:
"You really look like Goto Maki!"
So, I said something like "they tell me that a lot  "
I'm winning popularity (can't believe it)
Oh well, with that said~~~~!!
See ya!!
Update 4: Gocchin's blog update
2008.03.28 Friday
Every day's enrichment
Today I woke around 9AM, and I had the soup I cooked yesterday, then I got ready, and I went to a certain place.
And as I said... "I'm taking dance lessons in L.A." didn't I?!
Well. the dance instructor invited me,
so I went to see a music video rehearsal of a singer who is working here in L.A.!
From L to R
Back dancer, Kiki
Back dancer, Kristin
GOTO MAKI
Dance Choreographer, Rob Vinson
Upcoming artist, NASHAY
Dawn "Lucky" Manning
It's like, in Japan I can't do these kinds of things.
I'm impressed while I'm writing this... "Wow"
After that, I had lessons for ballet, jazz, and hip-hop.
I'm OK with the jazz and the hip-hop lessons, but the ballet one is.... difficult....
Then, I had voice training!!
Her voice...... is awesome.
My instructor pushes me straight on with her strong voice.
One day...... I'll do it, too.
After that, I did some shopping.
In the end, it seems I don't like to buy just cute stuff. LOL
Ha! From yesterday until today, I couldn't sleep well, so it's time to sleep!
Oh, BTW, I rode this Mini-Go-Round.
Good night.
Update 3: Gocchin's blog update
2008.03.27 Thursday
It's midnight already
Today, I continued with the dance lessons, I cooked, everyday living type of things...
By the way, I have some body pain, my leg hurts so much.
That's probably the reason why I'm not walking normally LOL
Ah! I went to see the show Carnival!!
There were some dancers from Japan who participated in it!!
The group performance was only with 18 people, but everyone was really amazing!!
It was a great show.
BTW, it's already midnight.....
That's not good LOL
Time to sleep.
Update 2: Gocchin's activities
2008.03.26 Wednesday
Yesterday's continuation
Was it yesterday? Today? It seems Tokyo was warm these days.
I wonder, as it was just a little bit chilly in L.A .
Anyway, resuming what I was saying yesterday...(as in, What am I doing in L.A.?)
First thing this morning, I went to the gym, I ran, and ran, and ran. LOL
OK, I'll take this seriously.
Then, a krump dance lesson!!!
This one was really risky.
I've been living for 22 years, but it's my first time doing this.
BTW, about the krump thing...
Since this is also my first time, I cannot explain it pretty well,
It's like an angry sensation, like as if you were listening to a big punch,
but for those who dance it, that image is totally... wrong...
Anyhow, I'm moving a lot!!!!
Although, I'm not used to seeing girls dancing it, but it's really interesting.
And, yesterday I had voice training,
Such as Ballet, Jazz, and Hip-hop~.
My body is getting strong LOL
Tomorrow, I'll have dance lessons.... and I'm supposed to attend a show.
Well, see ya.
Ah, btw, today, I went to buy a jersey....
It's super cute.
Maybe I'll use it during my lessons!!! It's a pink one!!
I can't get this stuff in Japan.....
So the prize is worth it.
Ok, have a good niiiight.

I haven't seen you for a long time.
I haven't seen you for a long time. Goto Maki here.
Regarding myself, moreover, the matter with my younger brother, I'm sorry to make you worry and for multiplying the trouble.
Although I was worried about many things, the decision to make one new step forward was made.
Even though I don't understand what's behind the horizon,
and even if this step could be coming too late, I want to keep persisting and heading toward my dream.
I'd like to come out in front of everyone with a smile...
I've been holding out in earnest, without forgetting what it is to be Goto Maki.
If you could, please keep on supporting me.

It's all of a sudden, but...
To tell the truth, I've come to L.A. now!!
Although I actually arrived here several days ago...
The weather is nice... It's warm... (and that's why) there isn't any pollen around.
That's really good!
The town is fairly ordinary and relaxed, it ranks in at #3 of all the places I might want to live in the future :-)
Well, actually, this is my second time in L.A.
Since I only spent a night here last time, I haven't really come to understand exactly where I am. (haha)
I'll be here for one month this time.
So I hope I will get to learn about nice places around.
Well,
By the way, why have I come to L.A.????
Let's see......
Well, that's....
You see, it's....
I'll tell you tomorrow.
I plan to upload it.
