Hey! Say! Jump! Member, Keito Okamoto, 18, was found out that he passed his admission at Sophia University by seating a TOEFL (Test of English as foreign language) and English essay.
He passed both tests.
It has been reported the exam results were announced around the end of January. Okamoto, his father and Johnny’s senior talent Kenichi Okamoto and their pet dog crowded around the computer at their house to read the news on the university’s exam results web page. The Hey! Say!

Recently, there's a lot of news that we read about the celebrities that we admire, got their chance to enroll in university. Somehow, this kind of news burn up our passion to do our best in study until we are success to be able to enter university of our choice. They really inspire us in study. Moreover, that persons are our beloved Hey! Say! JUMP.
We still remember last year on February magazine issue (we forgot the magazine name), Keito mention that he wanted to enter Sophia University after he had graduated from high school. Now, we already mentioned he successfully passed to be the student of his university first choice. When we read it, suddenly tears dropped from our eyes. It was a happy tears. That news really touch us because we are proud of JUMP's achievement in life. One by one of their dreams come true. We've thought a second, if they can success in their life, why can't we?
At first he failed, but the news showed that he never give up until he get what he want.
Thank you for being our inspiration in life. We will do our best in our upcoming SPM (High School General Exam) this November. We've target to gain straight A+ for that exam.
InshaAllah.

Super Delicate
It's been a while we didn't post anything about our lovely JUMP.
We miss to write something about them.
Since last Thursday, all of us have been startled with the short version of video clip of Super Delicate by Hey! Say! JUMP.
We entirely love the style of the video clip. They wore tuxedo and also casual clothes which is looks really exclusive and elegant. At the same time, they did catwalk in the PV which makes them look like a real model. Maybe, when any of the director of a modelling agency watch it, maybe they will realize how talented Hey! Say! JUMP members are and maybe they will offer the members to be a model. A real model who do catwalk on the real runway. After that, they will appear on the most famous fashion show, Tokyo Girls Collection, as a guest. Okay we will stop dreaming in the morning. Maybe it will happen or maybe it won't.
We were very impressed with their latest video clip even it is only shows a few minutes of the clip. It showed us how much they have grown since we knew them a few years ago. They look more matured. Somehow, it make us sad to see them growing up. If possible, we want them to stay as the way they are just like when we first saw them. But we can't change the fact of live. Every single living thing in this world is growing. Including us, who will face the real world soon. Very soon. We have to accept that we will leave this youth world soon. A world full of taste. Sweet, Sour, Briny and Bitter.
By the way, the video clip will make it more better with the existence of Ryuu. We are hardly miss our cute little hamster. That spoiled brat. But, we just can sit here praying and hoping for his best in life. We really hope that he will appear again and forms back together with his what-him-called-as second family, Hey! Say! JUMP. Everyone, please don't ever forget him. Embed his name and existence in our heart.
Let's watch the short version of Super Delicate

I can and I will!
Hi everyone and assalammua'laikum.
I can say that today is a bad day for me. There's a lot of things came.
One by one came after me. I just don't know whether I can stand it by my own self or not. And I also don't know whether I can go through this freaking year. I can be crazy with all of this kind of things that happen to me.
Whoever did it to me, I can't blame you because maybe it is my own fault.
I don't want to mention their name, because it can animadvert them.
I only have Allah who can help me go through all of His tests. I know He gave various types of tests because He wanted to test my patience. I knew it. That's why I can be strong enough to go through all of it as well as I still has someone to depends on. My twin, Minai, and also my beloved mother. These two person are my world. Only both of them can understand the whole me.
Thanks to Allah for confer me someone who can support and understand me in everything I do.
After everything had happened, there's a wisdom in everything we do.
Yeah. Now I know, whenever we put Allah as our priority in our life, He will also gives priority for us. InshaAllah.

سلام مَوْلِدُ النَبِيِّ (The Birth of The Prophet Muhammad S.A.W)
First of all, Assalamu alaikum , to all of you.
For those who don’t know the word of Assalamu alaikum, the meaning of it is Peace be unto you. It is a shortened form of the grand greeting: Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh (Peace be unto you and so may the mercy of Allah and His blessings). The greeting is recommended to be only used between Muslims.
The purpose we write this this post is because, today is The Birth of our Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.
Every year, when the month of Rabi al-Awwal comes around once again, bringing in its train the night of the twelfth, it seems to us as if the whole world is perfumed by the memory of the birth of the Final Messenger, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him. Countless millions of Muslims in every corner of the earth fix their thoughts on his birth, by re-reading his biography and learning from his unique values and qualities. For he was the Unlettered Prophet, in whose human essence were combined and perfected every noble and generous trait of character: the best of all role-models, of whom Allah Himself has said: "Truly, yours is a tremendous character."
Obviously, if the Blessed Prophet had been born in Ramadan, or one of the Sacred Months, or in the holy month of Sha'ban, some people might think that it was he himself who was being ennobled by these times because of their great merit. But it was Allah's wise decree that he be born in Rabi al-Awwal in order to ennoble that month, and to display Allah's care and good providence for His Prophet. As an Arab poet has written:
Allah gave good news of you to the heavens, and they were adorned, the soil of the earth turned to musk when it heard of you.
A day whose dawn is part of history,
And whose evening is made luminous by Muhammad!
As conclusion, we still need to deeply understand and learn about the meaning of Mawlid because we are only weak servants who need guide from the creator of this universe, Allah. As we wrote on the wishlist in the first post of this year, we would like to understand more of our holy religion and we want to approach ourselves to God the Almighty. Insha’Allah.
Hope Mawlid al-Nabi brings peace, blessings and joy to you and your family.
May Allah always guide us so that we always on the right path.
Ameen.

It's only a test
Let me start with, assalammua'laikum.
As usual I would like to share our life story today with all of you out there. We don't know where we can share it other than with our mother.
Since last Wednesday, our English teacher said she wanted to see us after school if we have time. Luckily, we didn't. She wanna ask about our essay that we wrote in Essay book that she gave us before weekend. We're not satisfied when in Minai's book, she didn't gave her mark for her essay and then she commented about her essay, 'Is this an original piece of work?' That's mean she didn't believe that Minai wrote that essay by her own self. Same goes to me.
So, today at school, during English class, she went to say something to us. Below is our conversations with her :
Teacher : Why didn't you come to see me? I've been waiting, you know?
Minai : I'm sorry. We didn't have time because since Wednesday and Thursday we have association of uniform units and club activities. We'll see you after school today.
Teacher : Oh, it's okay. I'll talk to you now. It's about you essays. Were you really did the essay?
Minai : Yeah! I did it on my own.
Teacher : Really? You copied from book right? How can you write those kind of excellent words?
Me : Teacher, we did the essay by O.U.R own-selves. We referred to some books and dictionaries.
*I interrupted here, because I can't stand to see she's blaming my twin*
Teacher : Really? You know what, I showed to some teachers about it. So, the words you wrote on your own?
Minai & Me : Yup!
Teacher : Oh, if you said like that, what if after school, I give you the title and you write an essay here in school. Okay?
*This part really make my temperature increase!*
Me : OKAY!
*At this moment, I , unintentionally, increased a bit of my voice*
Then, she gave us her cynical smile. Do we care? NOT AT ALL. They way she talked to us, shows like we are so stupid when we already said that we did it by our-selves, she still deny it and didn't believe what we said. She thinks we are so stupid and don't have knowledge about this(English) language at all. WHY? Is it because of our physical looks? We are short, blur and so on or is it about our marks that we gained last year? But that doesn't mean this year we are stick to that. We are still improving it. Honestly, we felt very offended of her words towards us.
Who didn't, right?
After she finished talked to us, somehow my backs felt very hot. I know I'm on fire at that moment. Whenever I feel angry about something, my back will automatically feel hot and it will end of my tears flows out. We promised to our selves to proof to all of the teachers, families and friends, we will get an excellent results for our SPM result. InshaAllah.
I'm very grateful to Allah for grant me a twin to accompany me when I have a bad time. This is why He created us as two person. It was because He knew that we can't live when we are as one. We need each other to go through either difficulties or happiness in our life.
Alhamdulillah, we got a test from Him. We asked Him to show us the way of becoming an excellent student but He gave us troubled to overcome. We asked for strength, and He gave us difficulties to make us strong.
Maybe we didn't received nothing we wanted. . . But we received everything we needed.
And I know He is testing our patience and faith. As long as Allah is with us, we don't have to worry because we know we can go through all of His tests.
Allah only gives tests to the person he cares for. He wants to know the level of our faith and patience of His tests. Thanks to Allah because we are still in the group of His loved one.
To Thee alone, we seek for help. To Thee alone we depend on. He is omniscient and omnipotent. All praises and thanks be to Allah alone, who created the heavens and the earth, and originated the darkness and the light, yet those who disbelieves hold others as equal with their Lord.
" Allah has a reason for allowing things to happen, We may never understand his wisdom, But we simply have trust His will."
