Lunch with a friend

Thursday, 20. April 2006, 10:04:23

Today I met a friend and had a lunch.

We talked about how our abilities of handwriting decrease these days.
Mainly due to cell phone and email,we rarely write a letter with handwritting.

Aya "It is sad that our abilities decreace year by year"
Kaoru "Yes, I think so too.Various kinds of abilty decrease...aah,what will we do in a future!"

Aya " What kind of ability do you think we gain instead of those declined abilities? Maybe there are something....I hope so.. "

Kaoru "mmm,ability of being lazy"
Aya "Yes. I agree with you,and ability of deceiving husband as I work very hard every day"

Kaoru " Making messy room look like clean room.I hide all junk into closet.I have a good skill for that."
Aya " Ability of thinking about easiest way of doing something. When I could seem to be serious,I think about such things"

We laughed so much.
We could never be perfect wives but could be funny wives.

Precious friends

Wednesday, 19. April 2006, 00:45:37

Yesterday,I try to change my blog design as Hirokichi's design was really looked like spring,I also wanted to change.

There were many new words in the article(how to make CSS) that I've never seen.
I read that and did it carefully.
But because of my poor skill,my Opera vanished suddenly.
I thought I would not able to read my friends' comment nor visit there forever.
I was really sad .
I fixed it up for 3 hours and manage to see "About" page.
And then I didn't remember how to do,but it fixed up.

I realised that bloggy friends are really precious friends for me.
It is interesting relationship because we don't know each other well.
But you are of GREAT(Sarah I correct this word,thank you) value in my life.

So now I feel relieved very much because I can write and read again.
However I try to change design again more carefully.

Thank you to be friends with me.

Tadpole

Monday, 17. April 2006, 12:24:59

There are hundreds of tadpoles in my house now.
My son has brought those from pond everyday.

I like a tree frog.It is small and beautiful green.

But I think those tadpoles will be toads or wrinkled frogs.

So near future,my house will be filled with toads.

School lunches

Friday, 14. April 2006, 13:19:59

Did you have school lunches when you were a student?

In Japan,school provide delicious school lunches for children.

School lunch of a day
Rice mixed with various vegetables,fish,and other ingredients.
Soup with vesitable.
chicken,fruits,milk,and so on.

this is a sample of school lunch

Other private schools have more and more delicious lunches.
They call famous hotel's chef to their school,and provide full-course meal for students.

This year, first boarding school opened in Japan.
They want to make their school like public school,especially like Eaton college in England.
The school was planned by Toyota(car company) and other big companies.

I was surprised to hear that it costs 35000daller for every year.
But there were many applicants for entrance to that school.
I'm sure they will have good school lunch everyday.

They live in boarding house for 6 years.
They separate from parents for 6 years!! Is it good thing?
I don't know about public school in England well.
Is that such good place for children?

Swallows

Thursday, 13. April 2006, 12:47:15

Today I can see swallows come back from the south countries.
They were flying very low place,so They almost hit my face.

At first I thought it was a bat.Because there are many many bat near here.

Every year I wish swallow make a nest at my house.
I heard that if swallow make a nest at your house,you will get good fortune.

I like to hear their baby sing with their mouth widely open.
I like to see parent's swallow feed them with its mouth.

Until August,they stay in Japan and then go to the south again.

My poor coat

Wednesday, 12. April 2006, 03:27:28

aah! I was shocked.

I took my coat to laundry shop.
It was my favorite coat. I have been wearing it for 5 years or more.

But the shop lost its belt.
They asked me if I was ok for they cutting my coat and making new belt with it.
I didn't want to cut my coat.

They offered to make similar belt for my coat.But I worry that if the belt is not the same material,colour,and so on.

If without the belt,my coat looks poor.I have to buy new one.
In Japan,there is a rule made by laundry shop that they have to pay money if they break or lose clothes. The amount is depend on the years you wear it. I wear that coat for a long time .(They say the average period of coat is 3 years)
I bought it almost 1000daller but if they make reparation only for the belt,I will get 40daller at maximum.

I think this rule is not good for customer.

I write this blog here. Small kingdom of mine.

She comes here always and lies on lap top

New Teacher

Tuesday, 11. April 2006, 15:59:27

My sons teacher changed this year.
Former teacher was very strict for students and also parents.
We were usually scolded about our behavior by her.
we were bad mood .Because she talked about only complaining about our children.

New teacher is always smiling ,and she talks about good point of our children.
Even if that is stupid mistakes of children,she talks it to us with many humour.
So we can relax with her.
Our class become warm place.good mood.

When she appears,the bad mood turns into good mood,it is really amazing.
I want to be such person. I need more and more training of heart.

Walk around Tokyo

Monday, 10. April 2006, 11:57:53

Today I met with a friend and walked around Koukyo(The Imperial Palace).
Always I can see a lot of western people jogging there.
I wonder why western people like jogging so much.

It was noon,so suddenly many people came out from big building,and walked so fast .
They went to buy lunch,or had lunch at restaurant.

We couldn't find vacant seat at any restaurant at that time.However,after 1pm,They suddenly disppeared.

We ate lunch at restaurant in Tokyo station.
I found interesting coin there.
It was written that "This is the coin for VIP toilet"
When we use VIP toilet, maybe we have to insert this coin.
I didn't know about VIP toilet.

I imagined that I would be treated like Queen in that toilet. But how?
So next time,I will visit there.

temporary mania

Sunday, 9. April 2006, 15:09:47

Some years ago(still now?),there was a popular word in Japan.-"My boom". This meaning was "personal or temporary mania"

Thare were many kind of "My boom"
Everything was OK for that "My boom"
For example,"My boom is eating cheese everyday" "My boom is having beer in the bath"

And now,"My boom "is to drink an avocado juice every morning.
Everyday I make it with a conbination juicer and mixer.
I put 2 avocado,soy milk,honey and ice.Sometimes chocolate syrup on it.

I think it will last at least next 1 week ..

I drank it Bali,Indonesia. I have forgotten it for 1 year but suddenly
I wanted to drink it again recently.

What is your "My boom"?

University

Friday, 7. April 2006, 13:44:24

I attended to my English circle today,and we talked about when we were at university students.

We have 12 members in that circle.
9 /12 didn't study hard when they were students.
I am one of them.

7/9 enjoyed their private life instead of studying,such as club activity,date with boyfriends
and left wing activity(!).

2/9 couldn't enjoy both study and private life.
I am one of them.

University days were dark days for me.
I thought about "How to live" ,"Who I am" and so on.
I stayed inside of me.
It might be needed for me but I regret such days.

Now I go outside ,not thinking too much about future.
So I like "Carpe diem" and " leisure"(I read this poem in
pjbatty's blog
