Music

Today I would like to introduce my favorite music.

It is LOVE PSYCHEDELICO.

I think you have hard their song on TV commercial of chewing gum.

The group is composed of two people, a man guiterist and a woman vocal.

Both of them are Japanese. However, the woman's English pronunciation is very good!!

When I first heard her singing a song in English, I was very surprised at that she is Japanese.

And their music has peculiar atmosphere.

Soon I came to like their songs.

If you have a chance to listen their song, Please check it!

Gratin!

I cooked shrimp au gratin.

On that day, I baked little too much...→

However the taste was good.♪ This is one of my favorite food.

Its ingredients are...

☆milk

★flour

☆cheese

★butter

☆solt and pepper

★shrimp

☆mashroom

★onion

...and so on.

My cooking book says easy way to cook this.

If we use microwave oven, we can cook difficult menu in easly way.

So I often use it for cooking.

Gretin is one of examples.

I will try other menu.

T.G.I.Friday's

On last Saturday I went to a resutaurant in Yokohama
to have dinner with my friend.

She and I like the resutaurant

T. G. I. FRIDAY'S.

Do you know this resutaurant?

When we got to there, both of us were verry hungry.

We ordered many.

We ate hamburger, French fries, cajun salad, nachos and soup!

We were full very much... but we did not drink alchohol.

And I felt that these food are unhealthy.

However, I think, it is not so bad to eat them occasionally.

Because these are delicious.

Additive-free

What shampoo and conditioner do you use ?

I use additive-free shampoo and conditioner.

Additive- free means "mutenka" in Japanese.

I started to use 3 months ago.

When I started to use it, at first my hair did not adapt to they.

Because their basis is only soap, they don't contain care element.

However, today my hair condition is good.

I 'll keep to use Mutenka.

GREEN

　In my house, these are two greens. The tree of coffee and cactus.


I bought these plants at flower shop or general store.


Everyday they are growing up little by little. I give water to them morning.





Especially the cactus's growth is very remarkable.
I had not expect that it would grow up like that.

I was surprised...


They are not so expensive, but they are valuable for me.
Because, greens give me power, so I take care of them.

Museum

On 20 this month, I was in Roppongi.

Because to go to musium, National Art Center Tokyo to see pictures.

There are many still life. These were all beautiful!!

I like art, especially European arts.

Kawagoe Kashiya-yokochou
In Kawagoe, there is a street is lined by many shops of cheep sweets. These shops sell a lot of Japanese ''Dagashi''. For example, candies, rice crackers, dango, Tai-yaki, rice cakes and so on. Many tourists, students on school trip or TV personalities visit there. The nearest station is Seibu-shinjuku line, Honkawagoe station. It takes about eighteen minutes on foot. And sweets of Murasaki-imo(a kind of potato)Kawagoe's special product are popular.


Do
Shiba-zakura
Shiba-zakura is a cherry blossom grows up at grass. At Hitsujiyama-Koen in Chichibu, you can see many pink or white flowers. Shiba-zakura covers ground, likes carpets of flowers. The best season of seeing is from around the middle of April to the beginning of May. And I recommend you to walk in hiking course from the nearest station, Yokoze station in sunny day. It takes about twenty or thirty minutes to get to Hitsujiyama-Koen on foot. You can enjoy beautiful nature view and clean air.

Fresh fruits
In Chichibu there are many greenhouses and farms of fruits. You can pick many fruits, grape, strawberry, plum and so on. And you can eat them soon. Fresh fruits are very juicy and sweet. There are plans that you can eat them as much as you like at a lot of farms. I recommend you picking of blueberry. The season of blueberry is early summer, from the middle of June to the middle of July.


Drink
Chichibu wine
Chichibu wine is famous for Gensaku-jirushi. Gensaku is a name of the first man who brewed it at beginning of Showa. The maker has strained to keep soil of grape field good condition since then. So, natural taste has never changed. Chichibu wine's taste is clear and aftertaste is very good.

My opinion

I wrote a my opinion and impression about the movie named "SWEET NOVEMBER" in a wab page of IMDb.


http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0230838/usercomments-269

"My Life Without Me”

The movie's name is“My Life Without Me”



Author: Pall Sigurdsson from Iceland
The acting was convincing, the soundtrack was great etc. but what I liked most and what moved me most was how it sincerely and beautifully conveyed messages of love, not only Ann's love of her family, friends and lovers but the love she found of herself and of life itself, awakened by the discovery of her untimely death.

Author: mmmass from Lewisville Texas
. This movie has opened my eyes to the importance of life and love. Money, power, fame, all are fleeting and can be lost in a moment to illness, famine, war, or fate. It is those around us, and our relationships to them, that are the things to be held most dear in our final accounting.

Author: C. Kim Miles from Vancouver BC
If you've ever sat at the side of someone dying of cancer, and held their hand while they wasted away, then you appreciate the terrible burden of knowing. You know how a topic as abstract as death becomes suddenly tangible and thick enough that you can taste it. Ann chooses to turn her back to this and try to make the people happy that are most important to her, including herself.

My old teacher in my high school recommended it.
I have wanted to watch this movie since then.
And now I want to watch more!!

"SWEET NOVEMBER"

A man who is interested in only his job and heartless to other people meats a WOMAN accidentally. She invades his private area, and changes ihs clothes, eating habit, the way to spend a holiday, his mind and his LIFE. At first he confuses and get angry, but he accept her and LOVE her gradually.
However suddenly she leaves from him because she is very serious illness(It is irremendiable)...

This movie is not simple romance movie. I think this also is a story of growth for a person. After I watched this movie, I thought about my life and the way of my life.
The heroine Sara who CHARLIZE THERON plays shows me one way to live one's life. She tells me importance of living naturally.

Angel-A Trailer

Guess the movie.

As luck would have it, Charlie finds the last golden ticket and goes on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure with his grandpa Joe. Among the other four winners are Veruca Salt, a spoiled rich girl; Augustus Gloop, a gluttonous kid who stuffs his face with sweets; Violet Beuragarde, a champion trophy gum chewer; and Mike Teavee, a kid who spends more time watching TV and playing video games than anything else. Most fascinating is the mysterious Willy Wonka who in turn had a troubled childhood and has a special grand prize at the end for one of the kids. Also along the tour are Wonka's staff the singing, working Oommpa Loompas.
