My favorite movie

A good yearhttp://www.agoodyeardvd.com/ I love this movie, I want to see many time.
Story;Max(Russell crowe) works as a trader in financial and his uncle are chief characters in the story. Thanks to the philosophy that his uncle taught him at childhood, he succeeded so young. One day, a letter arrived him, it told him his uncle’s death. He didn’t meet his uncle for a long time. He came back to Provence after an interval of 20 years.A relation with the person there has begun to change his sense of values of the past life. He had enjoyed single life and making money but he begun to notice other important things.I don’t know what is important clearly now. But I think one of important things is relation with precious persons. This movie told me that.

Old Japanese songs

This is Bruno restaurant which we could have tasty and spycy curry. I choiced tomato curry. Every staff were so polite and restaurant's decoration were moody. http://www.ug-gu.co.jp/restaurant/bruno/bruno.html

Now I like listening to old Japanese song. These are heartwarming songs. There were many big star, for example Ms. Misora Hibari(美空ひばり）http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=wGJqZmMClus&feature=related　and Mr. Sakamoto Kyuhttp://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=0U2nBre-JEU. They passed away long time ago but all Japanese know them. Especially, Mr. Sakamoto has song (SUKIYAKI)which is famous with American.

Birthday party

It is birthday of Brown darby's master. I went to join the party tonight and just now I came back home. It was nice party. Some people sang songs, they did very well. Everyone likes him because he is kind. Happy birth day!!

帰り道 On my way from a station

On the way, I found this. Maybe this was a shink. It was so well desing and beautiful that I might not use it.

Well, The appreciation of the yen continues as ever. I don't know why. We have been watched that news lately.

Thai restaurant

I went to thai restaurant for dinner at Nakatsu near by Umeda. If you want to have thai food in Osaka, I recommend this restaurant. THE　RACHA　SUKI THAI http://www18.ocn.ne.jp/~katon/annai.html

This was spring rain salada春雨サラダ；harusame salada(I don't know what I tell it in English). Very tasty but I couldn't eat much because it was very very hot!!!! Though I made an order to her not to be hot, it was very very hot. Maybe she was so tired:-( This was spring rolls春巻き；harumaki, it was tasty not hot;-D

the balance

My occupation is a Counsellor.So I need to renew my license every five years. I have to get a certain number of points for license renewal. I joined a workshop which was worth two points. I think the workshop was worth joining.

After the workshop, I came back home and had too much sleep:-( I have some bad habits. Every holiday, I have too much sleep and I regret that I waste time. But I can't change my bad habit.

Anyway, in my opinion, balance is everything and is very important.

I had so much sleep at daytime I may have a deep sleep.

On 25th October, I will take the IELTS!http://www.britishcouncil.org/japan/japan-exams/japan-exams-ielts.htm

I had so much sleep during the daytime I may not have had a deep sleep.

Invitation

The weather has been great lately. Today I had a few friends over for dinner. I started to cook dinner at 4p.m. I was very busy with cooking. Friends arrived at 6p.m. We enjoyed eating and drinking;-) I was glad that friends could spend a wonderful time together on this night. Good night, sweet dreams.

Thanks!

Yesterday, I went to Sasayama with my grand father. It is located in Hyogo prefecture. Sasayamashi is called tannba sasayama(丹波篠山）.Tanba's specialty product is a black soybean. The black soybean of Tanba (丹波の黒豆）is very famous. To get it , many people came there. The street was full of many tourists.

The shop where a cunning person sell sold a sushi of the mackerel was an interesting scene.

The man made up was singing a song, it was funny:-)

On my way from Umeda

This photo is the odona along Midousuji street.http://www.odona.jp/index.html I never enter there, everytime I only go through.

Last night I met my friends at Navio dining and cafehttp://www.gnavi.co.jp/navio-bimi/index.html. It renovated an old navio(hankyu group's department), this was first time I went to new one. From the first floor to five floor were men's fashion, I could see famous brands.

Six and seven floor were restaurants. We had japanese food at a tavern(居酒屋). After dinner, we walked to Yodoyabashi station. I said “Good bye. See you later( matane)” and I kept walk to home about a hour. Because I had walked long time, I felt pain my legs!

Breeze Breeze in Umeda

I went to a new shop “Breeze　Breeze”.It was so crowded because it was opened yesterday. I found some good shop, but I think this place is inconvenience a little. And there are many good shop around there.

Music station

Every friday night, the Music station starts at eight on TV. It was long version tonight and had old japanese pops 100'ranking . Some musics make me recall my teens. Especially, I was moved by Mr. Kobota toshinobu's song“Missing”http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=3fFaPur2PjU&feature=related. I seldom see him on TV recently, but this song is very beautiful.

Tomorrow, I will meet some friends in Umeda, we got to know each other during our graduate school days. It 's been such a long time since we saw last. Four of seven have already got marry and other and me are single. Gradually our topic of conservation have changed.

Kanou shoujuan(Japanese sweet)

This is one of famous japanese sweets, Kanoushojuan's sweet(http://www.kanou.com/). So sweet. You should have it with Japanese tea.

It smells like fall. I love the crisp nights of this season! I don't know what should I wearing this season. Daytime it was warm, but night time is chilly.

Good bye Mr.KIYOHARA

Today's big news is the retirement of Mr.Kiyohara who is one of mager baseball players in Japan. His last game is now playing at Osaka kyosera dome(Osaka city nishi-ku). Now TV is showing the celemony. I'm not interesting in him much but I want to look at Mr. Ichiro. He came back from America, in order to celebrate Mr.Kiyohara. Anyway Mr. Kiyohara has been played for about 20years. Thank you for nice entertaiment, Kiyahara san!

This evening, I studied speaking of English. I am learning many words. Today's favorite word was “egg plant”meaning “Nasbi （なすび）”. It was very funny word for me! Why Nasbi is egg plant in English? I asked my teacher, and he replied me “I don't know, but maybe Nasbi's shape(America) like as eggs.” But Japanese Nasbi is not like eggs.
