Jazz live in Umeda(ディアモール)

Because I have poor eyesight, I put on a contact lens. I went to buy it in Umeda because it was a few. On my way to ophthalmology, I watched jazz live at Diamor. http://www.diamor.jp/index.html

Mr.Ashai and Mr.Gonjyo(http://jazz-bass-gonjo.seesaa.net/ )and one man(sorry I forgot his name) were playing “over the rainbow”. They said “we will play musics at Takatsuki jazz(at Nomi shrine) May 4th”.

The maru-building. I also went to TOWER RECORD at Maru building to search ONO RISA's CD. And then my friend wanted to see redcliff(movie) so we went to NAVIO. RED CLIFFhttp://redcliff.jp/index.html

I never known Mr. Zhang Feng-Yi (張豊毅), I thought he was nice actor. But his position , it means曹操 is not a good person.

Fixed amount benefit

The government pays the nation a fixed amount benefit for economic measure. We think that we profited, but this money is our tax. I am Osaka citizen. I received the paper of this transfer procedure recently. I will be able to receive 12,000 yen. People older than 65 years old can take 20,000 yen as a children. Media calls this money the scattering of the government.
I think slightly so. However, after all I am glad that I get money. I wish that this become the economic effect. Please don't save this money, if you had much money.
I am thinking about what I will use this money for.

梅の花(Ume no hana)～Japanese tofu restaurant～

Ume no hana (梅の花）http://www.umenohana.co.jp/e/index.html
It was tofu and dried bean curds food mainly. Their taste was light, but you will become full because there are many kinds.

田楽（dengaku), this teste was sweet. Like a Japanese sweet(団子).

In the last, it was takikomi gohan, miso soup, a pickle(漬物）.　ごちそうさまでした。

I thought quality of taste and service more declined than last tme I had visited this restaurant.

少しzannen. I don't know why.

It will be Children's Day on May 5th. The Dolls' Festival of March is a celebration of girls, and May 5th is the day of boys. We pray for the happiness of the children. It is one of days to constitute the Golden Week(holidays). The symbol of this day is a carp streamer(koinobori) and a helmet?(兜kabuto).

Good evening,cat. I wanted to take a photo of you because your face was so cute. But he or she, maybe she? was shy. 残念（Zannen）:-(

お弁当obentou(lunch box)

Recently I make cook for my lunch. There is not a dining room in my workplaceand few restaurant around there. The one of the reasons why I cook lunch is a saving money. Maybe it
succeeds:-)

Today's manu are scrambled eggs with okura(vegetable), a chicken, saladas, tempra,
fried bean curd with kind of Chinese cabbage! Rice is cereals(a barley, a black soybean, black sesame and so on).

The cereals rice　is healthy for you! This is Hakubaku product. http://www.hakubaku.co.jp/english/company_english_basis.htm

Today's weather is very very nice!!! Today's green is very green because it rained yesterday.

Spanish food

Los sitios (http://www.medic-web.jp/shop/s10001269/) Address:1-10-2,awaza nishi-ku Osaka city
My feeling tonight was Spanish food!! This restaurant was very common.

A Paella♪♪　i like it. I want to cook it at home but maybe I can't do well:-(

Today it was warm but it will be rainy hard.

Yesterday and Today

I was in San Francisco?? No, here was USJ. Small San Francisco in USJ. I could see Fisherman's walf and Ghirardeli.

Jurassic Park amusement! People enjoy playing water!! Next!!

They were dripping wet the next moment.

The caramel popcorn was yummy.

From here, Sunday morning:-)

The season of the cherry tree was over. The next is a season of a fresh green.

Are you twin? They barked at me suddenly. Please don't bark next time.

By the way, last night I watched “snow falling on cedars” (http://www.snowfallingoncedars.com/)on DVD. The cast are ETHAN HAWKE and YOUKI KUDO(工藤夕貴).　Maybe Miss. KUDO appeared for some american movies(Mystery Train,SAYURI). She is one of my favorites actresses.
The snow falling on cedars made me notice and think some important things. For example, a prejudice. We are sometimes realized what kind of human being oneself. Perhaps I have prejudice. I receive it and want to keep it in mind not to injure people.

Okamoto (岡本) ☆KOBE☆

Honey House stableford Green (http://kobe.gourmeria.com/cafe/honeyhouse000.htm)
This monday I had sand wich with my friend, she live at Ashiya so we promised to meet at Okamoto Station. I went by a train after having finished work in Kobe.She took me to a nice cafe.
I looked store's interior and a menu and then they made me feel good old. I thought that I knew this cafe. She and I chose sandwich of avocade and chicken. To be frank, I was weak in avocado, but recently I like it. This sandwich was a volume perfect score!

Last night I watched good movie. This title was SAYURI(Memoirs of a Geisha)http://www.sonypictures.net/movies/memoirsofageisha/. Do you know it?? I recommend it.
Japanese geisha's story. They spoke English as the stage in Kyoto, I thought it was strange a bit.

Anyway, this movie was good.

12th April ~special day ~

Today is special day because my grand mother's bitrth day. Maybe she spend beautiful days in Heaven now.

I spent ordinary day this special day.

I bought japanese sweet (よもぎ餅;A mugwort-flavored rice cake). I wanted to buy some flower for her but flower shop closed today.

From p.m 3:00 I went to hair salon at Horie for the first time. There are many many hair salon aroun here. I stopped at Starbucks on the way and took strawberry cream Frappuccino. It was delicious:-p

Fine weather

Today's temperature is 26 degrees. I changed my wardrobe in a T-shirt from long sleeves. The cherry trees were in full blossom last week. A lot of people enjoy sakura(桜) viewing today at parks. However, the in full bloom will be over soon in Osaka. Sakura in the Mint Bureau(http://www.mint.go.jp/eng/index.html ) will be in full bloom soon. I really thank for there being the four seasons in Japan. In spring and autumn in particular:-)

in Akashi (west of Kobe)

Yesterday, I went to the Akashi station by JR(train). About p.m6:00, rush hour! If you move anywhere, you should not move in this time weekday. This photo was the Uontana(http://www.uonotana.or.jp/). You can taste fresh fishery products. Akashi -yaki(food) is famous here. I think that it resembles a takoyaki.

I met my friend at 希凛(kilin)http://tuer.jp/kilin/.There were energetic cooks in the counter.

All foods were teriffic!!!!

It was a cooking of the turnip. I can never cook it. A little wasabi was good! Do you like it??

This was Gashira. I don't know how I express it in English. Gashira(がしら).....what a strange name! Taste was light.

The Akashi starion.

I slept late last night. Therefore I was very sleepy during today's morning. I haveto sleep early this night. m(_ _)m......zzzzzz....Good night☆Sweeeeet dreams☆

Ohanami in Kyoto

Finally cherry trees became in full. I went to Kyoto by Keihan(train). It took approximately 50 minutes by a limited express train to Gion shijo station from Yodoyabashi station.

The Yasaka shrine.

Many people prayed at here. There were a lot of stands, too. It was sold apple candy and takoyaki, taiyaki and so on.

A contrail and a cherry tree. It was nice blue sky today.

The maruyama park. A lot of people enjoyed lunch and a barbecue.

The Kamogawa river. I heard a singing voice in many places.

At first I went to buy breads for Boulangerie Takagi. Then I went to monsieur Makino to take a bitth day cake which I subscribed for yesterday(http://www.hscop.com/1/1/1/0/394/). http://www.m-makino.com/). I begun to make dinner from 3:00 p.m. I made pot-au-feu, salad and so on. Please try this recipe if you like an avocado. It is very easy:-) Mix soy sauce and wasabi, and sprinkle it to avocado. Tasty.
