happy day!

 Today, I went to dinner with my friends. The friends are our part-time job friends. We have a work in the daytime. My friends didn't tell me anything. After we have finished our work, we go to dinner. We eat full stomach. And suddenly big big cake was carried our room. I was so surprised. I couldn't understand this situation. I looked closely, the cake's massage was written 'Bon voyage, Haruka'. I will go to America from Next Sunday. My friends did a encouragement party for me.
