The above is just my evaluation after reading the book. It doesn't imply that you'll enjoy the "ratings" I've given if you apply for any of the above schools. It also doesn't mean that those with more "stars" are definitely better. I still think it's better for you to ask pupils in those secondary schools to know better.

I hope it helps you in making a choice for your secondary school.

Best wishes,

Hoshi wo Mezashite!

Hey you guys!!

OK, I know LOADS of you will be mad at me for putting lyrics on this blog, but there are a couple of Japanese songs (lyrics translated to English, of course!) that are really meaningful (duh, it's by my fave bands!) which totally suit this occasion...well, the fact that we're not gonna be seeing each other anymore and stuff. Read the lyrics real carefully! This is what I wanna say to you!

HOSHI WO MEZASHITE (aim for the stars!) by NEWS (North, East, West, South)

Aim for the stars

Once you die, you're again reborn
That sort of magic has been floating in the air
Because you were there when I awoke, so full of light
I have made a fresh new start

[Chorus]
Is everyone here?
Let's aim for the stars
With you to lead the way
I will sing
As we go along
We won't look back

On our youth filled with pain
I had surely lost my way
And was crying in the deep darkness of loneliness
But because you were there when I awoke, so full of lightI have made a fresh new start

[Chorus]
Is everyone here?
Let's aim for the stars
With you to lead the way
I will sing
As we go along
I'll never do that again
Never make the same mistakes

[Bridge]
I've come to realize
Just how precious
The strength of love (as friends) can be
Let's aim for the stars
With you to lead the way

[Chorus]
Is everyone here?
Let's aim for the stars
With you to lead the way
I will sing
As we go along
We won't look back
On our youth filled with pain
Let's go!
Let's aim for the stars

With you to lead the way
I will walk forward
Let's go!
Let's aim for the stars
I will sing
As we move ahead

BEST FRIEND by NEWS

We'd get excited over stupid stuff
And before I knew it, we'd laughed til morning

We're supposedly adults now, but nothing's changed

You are my best friend
It's embarrassing, so I can never say thank you
This isn't anyplace special
But I want to stay here forever

The streets where we grew up
Have changed since those days

But as the seasons pass, please don't ever change

You are my best friend
Sometimes we fight over little things
But the more we engage each other
The more we understand each other

I'm sure I'll never say it out loud
But the truth is, when I'm with you
Is when my heart is warmest

You are my best friend
It's embarrassing, so I can never say thank you
This isn't anyplace special
But I want to stay here forever
You are my best friend
We are never alone
You're the only one who shows me such casual kindness

Thank you

COLOURFUL by Yamashita Tomohisa aka Yamapi (lead singer of NEWS)

Someone please tell me where I should go
Someone please tell me what I can do

I look up, there's rain.
I turn back, a wall
Even the mere surroundings tighten my suffocation

In the dark before dawn, alone,
I wander without a purpose--I just can't find mine!

No matter how many times I search for the answer
The more I think, the more I don't know!
Shall I just try letting some light into my eyes
And walking one step at a time?
Try looking up to the moon

Those days, that time, the pulse that was snatched away
I'll gain them back.
The fiery ambition

I'm gonna make it through this nocturnal darkness
And vanish even my trailing shadow

Confront the things I can't see
Take up in my hands hope and courage
On the journey that will continue on tomorrow,
One step at a time,
I try and move forward
to hope for the future

I'm gonna make it through this nocturnal darkness
And look for the infinite blue sky

No matter how much I keep searching
,Why don't I know the answer?
I'll let some light into my eyes
As my heart guides me forward
Night will eventually give way to Day

Confront the things I can't see
Take up in my hands hope and courage
On the journey that will continue on tomorrow,
One step at a time, I try and move forward,
hoping for the future,
looking up to the moon,
towards a colorful world

Towards a colorful world

mexico's 'water monster' nears extinction

MEXICO CITY - Beneath the tourist gondolas in the remains of a great Aztec lake lives a creature that resembles a monster _ and a Muppet _ with its slimy tail, plumage-like gills and mouth that curls into an odd smile.

The axolotl, also known as the "water monster" and the "Mexican walking fish," was a key part of Aztec legend and diet. Against all odds, it survived until now amid Mexico City's urban sprawl in the polluted canals of Lake Xochimilco, now a Venice-style destination for revelers poled along by Mexican gondoliers, or trajineros, in brightly painted party boats.

But scientists are racing to save the foot-long salamander from extinction, a victim of the draining of its lake habitat and deteriorating water quality. In what may be the final blow, nonnative fish introduced into the canals are eating its lunch _ and its babies.

The long-standing International Union for Conservation of Nature includes the axolotl on its annual Red List of threatened species, while researchers say it could disappear in just five years.

Some are pushing for a series of axolotl sanctuaries in canals cleared of invasive species, while others are considering repopulating Xochimilco with axolotls bred in captivity.

"If the axolotl disappears, it would not only be a great loss to biodiversity but to Mexican culture, and would reflect the degeneration of a once-great lake system," says Luis Zambrano, a biologist at the Autonomous University of Mexico, or UNAM.

The number of axolotls (pronounced ACK-suh-LAH-tuhl) in the wild is not known. But the population has dropped from roughly 1,500 per square mile in 1998 to a mere 25 per square mile this year, according to a survey by Zambrano's scientists using casting nets.
It has been a steep fall from grace for the salamander with a feathery mane of gills and a visage reminiscent of a 1970s Smiley Face that inspired American poet Ogden Nash to pen the witticism: "I've never met an axolotl, But Harvard has one in a bottle."

Millions once lived in the giant lakes of Xochimilco and Chalco on which Mexico City was built. Using four stubby legs to drag themselves along lake bottoms or their thick tails to swim like mini-alligators, they hunted plentiful aquatic insects, small fish and crustaceans.
Legend has it that Xolotl _ the dog-headed Aztec god of death, lightning and monstrosities _ feared he was about to be banished or killed by other gods and changed into an axolotl to flee into Lake Xochimilco.

The axolotl's decline began when Spanish conquerors started draining the lakes, which were further emptied over time to slake the thirst of one of the world's largest and fastest-growing cities. In the 1970s, Lake Chalco was completely drained to prevent flooding. In the 1980s, Mexico City began pumping its wastewater into the few canals and lagoons that remained of Xochimilco.

About 20 years ago, African tilapia were introduced into Xochimilco in a misguided effort to create fisheries. They joined with Asian carp to dominate the ecosystem and eat the axolotl's eggs and compete with it for food. The axolotl is also threatened by agrochemical runoff from nearby farms and treated wastewater from a Mexico City sewage plant, researchers say.
Local fisherman Roberto Altamira, 32, recalls when he was a boy, and the axolotl was still part of the local diet.

"I used to love axolotl tamales," he says, rubbing his stomach and laughing.
But he says people no longer eat axolotls, mainly because fishermen almost never find them.

"The last one I caught was about six months ago," says Altamira, a wiry gondolier with rope-like muscles from years of poling through Xochimilco's narrow waterways.
Meanwhile, the axolotl population is burgeoning in laboratories, where scientists study its amazing traits, including the ability to completely re-grow lost limbs. Axolotls have played key roles in research on regeneration, embryology, fertilization and evolution.

The salamander has the rare trait of retaining its larval features throughout its adult life, a phenomenon called neoteny. It lives all its life in the water but can breathe both under water with gills or by taking gulps of air from the surface.
On a 9-foot-wide canal covered by a green carpet of "lentejilla" _ an aquatic plant that resembles green lentils _ Zambrano's researchers test water quality and search for axolotls. The air smells of sulfur and sewage.

A team member suddenly points to the trademark water ripple of an axolotl, and the crew hurls its net. But they only come up with two tilapia in a sopping-wet mass of lentejilla.
So far, scientists disagree on how to save the creature. But a pilot sanctuary is expected to open in the next three to six months in the waters around Island of the Dolls, so-called because the owner hangs dolls he finds in the canals to ward off evil spirits.

Zambrano proposes up to 15 axolotl sanctuaries in Xochimilco's canals, where scientists would insert some kind of barrier and clear the area of nonnative species.
Without carp, the water would clear, and plants the axolotl needs to breed could flourish again, said Bob Johnson, the curator of amphibians and reptiles at the Toronto Zoo.

"If you take the insults away, the lake has an amazing latent potential to heal itself," he said.
Veterinarian Erika Servin, who runs the Mexico City government's axolotl program at Chapultepec Zoo, is studying the possibility of introducing axolotls from the lab into the canals.

But more study is needed to make sure the process doesn't lead to diseases and genetic problems from inbreeding.
Xochimilco residents could be another source of resistance.
Hundreds of people make a living pulling tilapia from canals or growing flowers, lettuce and vegetables on nearby land. Efforts to remove the fish or shut down polluting farms could face stiff opposition.

But while the debate goes on, time is running out.
Given its role in research alone, Johnson says, "We owe it to the axolotl to help it survive."
