movies

Hi! This is Nami.
Last week, I saw 2 movies on TV.

The first one was Kqate&Leopold.
I'd never seen movies that Meg Ryan, who played Kate, appeared in as knowing her name and appearance probably through the commercial of a coffee company. Kate was a woman who had worked almost everyday, what is called workaholic, but after she met Leopoldo accidentally, she gradually came to enjoy her own life. She did great work in this film.
Hugh Jackman, who played Leopold, appeared in one of the most popular films Les Miserable as the hero, Jean Valjean.
Leopold looked quite differently from Jean Valjean, which means he did perfect works in both of the movies. I liked both of his acts.

The other one was Holiday.
Since I really like Cameron Diaz's act, it was completely fun for me to see it.
After her parents divorce in her youth, she had never been able to cry.
What she had devoted herself into was making movie trailers as work.
However, she could cry at the end of the story through her true love.
The actor who played her partner was Jude Law. I'm really crazy about him. The way he talked, the way he looked at his daughters and partner, the way he cried, all he did were amazing!

As I mentioned, both films focused on workaholic women. To be honestly, I'm quite afraid of being one of them in the future. So I hope I could find such a guy as those in these films.

up all night

On last Monday, I, Karuna, Fumika, Mao, Kanaho, and Shun went to Round One to stay up all night as playing some sports.

We played ping pong, shooting, fishing, games and something like that.
What I enjoyed playing the best was inline skating. At first, I was very poor at it, because it was my first time to skate, but everyone supported me to practice it, and I made it better. Thank you guys!
In addition, though some of you might not be able to believe, we played basketball, tennis, batting, and soccer outside around 2am! What a crazy groups we are! Anyway, I had much fun as doing them.

I'd never stayed up all night before that, so it was a little hard for me and I was falling asleep a few times, but lots of fun we had had blown away the sleepiness!
Thank you again, guys! :)

Asakusa

On new years day, I went to Asakusa with my friends from highschool.
Senso Temple was very crouded and we found it quite difficult to go. However, we managed to go there after waiting for a line about 30minutes.
Around Senso Temple area, there were many street stalls and we ate some Oyaki (kind of bread like Manjyu) for breakfast.
After that, we walked to Tokyo Sky Tree and bought some snacks and a kite. Then we moved to the park near the river and played with a kite.
I think I didn't touch a kite for about 10years so it was very exciting! I would like to play with a kite again! However, I didn't sleep on new year's eve so I was really sleepy...

Happy New Year

I coudn't send a new year card to my classmates so I would like to say "Happy New Year!" to you guys here!

I spent my new year's eve alone in my home watching TV programs. I usually go to Toyota city with my family but I had an event I wanted to go in Tokyo so I stayed home.
It was quite lonely but my friend came to my home about 12am so we spent night watching TV programs and drawing. As we were awake all the night, we could see sunrise too!
This was my first time spending new year with my friend so I had a lot fun.

Next Saturday

Next Saturday, I'm going to take the examination for the driver's licencse.
It was one of my aim to take the driver's licencse, so I want to get it as soon as possible.
I have to study a lot!

Nirvana

I became interested in foreign rock music before, but I have not started to listen to such a kind of music until now.
But, these days I listen to foreign music more rather than Japanese one.

I don't know about foreign music, so I started to listen to most famous musician, for example, the Beatles, Oasis, Owl City, Nirvana and Green Day.
Of course, I listen to pop music.
Yesterday, I lent three albums of Nirvana and an album of the Beatles, I am looking forward to listening their music after today's class.

New year

For new years day, I went to Tsurugaoka hachimangu in Kamakura for the first visit of the year.
We say it Hatumoude in Japan. I spend times with my family and had a good time. This year I want to try a lot of things and make this year fulfilled than last year.

Sushi

I went to eat sushi when I went back to my hometown, Shizuoka.
I was longing for sushi very very much before a winter vacation came, so I was very happy!

I took 19 dishes finally and I was very contented.

I like Kaiten-Sushi because there are lot of  kinds of neta, but my grand father was a fisherman and he made sushi for me, which are delicious rather than Kaiten's ones.
