I watched three DVDs yesterday.
"Pirates of Silicon Valley","Naushika",and "Edward scissor hands"!
I have (or you can shorten this to "I've") never watched "Naushika". This movie is an animation drawn by (maybe you mean "created by"? usually with movies the one who created a concept is not the one who actually draws it for the movie, but maybe it is different in Japan?) Hayao Miyazaki.
<strike>I was considered that to live together with nature</strike>. I agree with him on his idea that we all live together with nature.<strike> I like his work since I was young!! </strike>I have liked his movies since I was little (in English, you are considered to be young when you are in your twenties as well as when you were a child, so you are still considered young in this case ;) lol, when you want to talk about yourself when you were a child, you usually say little, a child, or the exact age (ex: when I was 7 I liked hello kitty, etc.) 
<strike>If you have ever watched it yet , let's check it!! </strike>If you haven't watched it yet, you should check it out!


good job with your English!! ^^

applying for a Working Holiday visa for New Zealand.

Today I'm starting to apply for a working Holiday visa in New Zealand.
ah, by the way, what's the difference between "of " and "in" (I used in the title "visa of", but should I use "visa in"<font color="#ff0000"> instead?</font>)

then I encountered a problem when I was filling in the blanks <font color="#ff0000">on the</font> application form.
I have to write in the details of my passport and have another form of identification to prove my identity.
passport...sure I have it. and...
there are three options to select for the additional form of identification.
driver's license.
birth certificate.
national ID.
I thought nothing much about this because I have a driver's license.
but! there was a unexpected surprise...
I had to <font color="#ff0000">put down the expiration date of my driver's license, and then I thought</font>....oh my god! my license needs to be renewed this summer by my next birthday on July 17th and I will be in NZ at that time!
I almost forgot about this.  

So I thought, well that's ok I'll just renew it immediately. 

but then I found out that I can't renew it unless I prove with good reason why I can't do it in its normal time period.
it's too early to renew. it must be renewed during the two months around my birthday.and I don't have anything to prove that I will be in New Zealand yet.

so it seems I can't use driver's license.  

how about my birth certificate?
oh no, I can get it only in my hometown, which is about 100km away from where I'm living now; Tokyo.

now this is getting troublesome..

at last, maybe I can use my national ID!!
it can be a health insurance ID according to the Japanese web site which helps those applying for visas
yes I have it!!!!!!

oh no,,,,

its expiration is coming at the end of this month!!
what the....

Doesn't matter; I'm gonna get my visa no matter what.


wow I've written quite a long note this time....
writing text in a foreign language makes me sleepy.
I need to practice much more...

I hope someone will correct my terrible, pitiful English please!!!!!!!
