Fancy Dinner Time!

On Sunday, I got to go dinner with my high school friend.
We went to this fancy restaurant in Shibuya. The interior was fabulous! Our seat were sofas, the table were designed with tiles, there were many small naked light bulbs dangling from the ceiling, and there was the Venus de Milo right next to us. We had salad, pasta, pizza, and sweet potato tart latte. My favorite was the sweet hot drink. I love sweet potato and tart. The combination was splendid. We had such a great time together. I hope to see her again!

 

 

 

 

Stanley Pickle

Setting: Some beautiful country side, maybe future, or now. 

Conflict: Pickle vs himself.

Climax: He buried his dead parents in the ground and went out his house. 

Symbol: The screw is the symbol of control. He could do anything in that world. He could even brought back to life of his dead parents and bird. 

Irony: Pickle wanted to make the girl happy, but it didn’t work. 

Theme: Living is not about machine, same routine, same people. We can’t bring back to life, we can’t control, we can’t start them all over again.

Weekend Shopping

     I really enjoyed shopping this weekend.

     On Saturday, I went to AEON MALL HINODE ,which is about 30 minutes from my house by bicycle.  I wanted new jeans. I went to some clothing stores,  so it took long time to decide what to buy. At last, I bought two pairs of trousers. I'm very satisfied now.

     On Sunday, I went to Shimokitazawa. Shimokitazawa is one of my favorite towns. I like Shimokitazawa.

 There is a limited time offer shop near the station. The store is opening at 3:00. I got to the station at 2:45. But many people had already waited in line! I wanted a bag but I was afraid that I couldn't get it. Finally, I entered the shop at 4:00. I lined up over an hour!  Fortunately, I was able to buy the bag.

This is the bag.
  "KEYTALK" is my favorite band.

After that, I ate frozen yogurt.  Can you guess the flavor?

The answer is... pumpkin! It may be difficult for you to imagine the yogurt which tastes pumpukin. It's also hard to explain how the taste was. So I recommend going the shop. (But if you are beginner, "plain" is the best choice, I think.)

     Shopping is fun and I like shopping.  But please be careful to spend too much money.

    

Yuru-Chara

I encountered two Yuru-characters in this weekend.

 

It was my first time to meet them. I imagined that two characters were aggressive and cheerful. However, the fact was wrong. I didn't feel any energy from them, and I felt sadness from their back, which made me laugh though.

Many children seemed excited to see them, and they hugged with them. It was such a happy sight.

I hope that everyone cheer up them!

 

 

Street performance in Sancha

Yesterday, I had joined "Street Performance in Sancha." as a volunteer. It was wonderful experience for me. I did support of the performer. But it was such difficult to do it. I want more skill for that.
It was such a fun. 
There were so many wonderful performances. I have never joined such big street performance before, since I had live in Kochi. Tokyo is such a fun city! There are so many things. 
I want to join this next year too. If you have interest, let's join together! 

Going to my sister`s concert.

Hello.
Today I went to my sister`s concert which was held in Koshigaya.
My sister has been playing the violin since she was three and now goes to Tokyo University of  The Arts. So far she has participated to many competitions and joined many concerts.
She always practice hard, which I really respect.
I love listening to her music and really hope that one day she will be able to be a famous violinist.
Also I want more than one people to be interested in classical music.

Hope you enjoyed your weekends!

                                                           (This is my sister, Natsumi. )

My second part-time job

          Before, I wrote about my part-time job at a Yakiniku resutrant in this blog. These days, I started to do another part-time job. Some may say to me, "Again?" Part-time job I introduce you this time is also related to meet. I started to work at Shibu-tsu. Some of you may have happened to see my workplace.
          My workplace is very close to Aogaku. It is along the Roppongi street and next to Seven-eleven convenience store. It takes about only 5 minutes to go there.

Shibu-tsu has lunch time and dinner time. In lunch time, we serve some kinds of Tonkatsu and hamburg. Prices are inexpensive enough for college students to eat. we are so busy in lunch time because we're understaffed. On the other hand, in dinner time, we serve only cuisines which made with Yamagata beef. There are a la cart, courses and alcohol beverage on the menu. Especially, various kind of wine are served in Shibu-tsu. It is difficult for me to distinguish a lot of wine. However, I'm so interested in wine. So, I'm trying to open it. Dinner prices are little expensive.
          I work there on Monday lunch time, Monday dinner time and Tuesday dinner time. If possible, please come to my workplace:)   

Mermaid

Setting…I think the setting of this animation is in Japan after W.W.II.

Character…a boy who likes to imagine, mermaid(a fish), policemen, and boy's parents.

Conflict…A boy versus a nation. He likes to imagine. However, the nation where he lives has a rule not to imagine. Although he wants to imagine, he doesn't allowed to imagine by a nation.

Symbol…A mermaid, a fish, symbolizes a boy's imagination. A sea sometimes hit us as Tsunami. Therefore, a sea symbolizes a destruction of ability to imagine. I think this animation symbolizes Japan after the W.W.Ⅱ 

Climax…The climax is the scene the boy had come not to see a mermaid and not to imagine.

Irony… After he was forced to read so many books and was trained, he come not to be able to imagine.

Theme…The theme of this animation is the desire that people want to express their emotion and feelings freely. As I mentioned in the setting, I think the setting is in Japan. After W.W.II, Japan had been controlled by GHQ. At that time, GHQ issued Press Code for Japan. The rule　included regulation of freedom of speech. As this regulation spread among Japan, a lot of people are robbed of their freedom of speech and imagination. I think this animation may symbolize what Japan was after the war. 

Yakiniku

I ate Yakiniku today with my father.
It was very delicious! My body filled with happiness completely!
My family always goes to specific yakiniku shop in Yamanashi prefecture.
This shop is not expensive, but serves good meal. I know many IE members love yakiniku, so you should come Yamanashi prefecture to eat this yakiniku as well as delicious fruits produced in Yamanashi prefecture.

                                             ( This picture is so beautiful....)

About my weekend

Last weekend, l went to Sagamihara school festival. I belong to baseball circle "Angels"
In this festival, we sold Agetakoyaki. It was a rainy day, however many people came to out store, and finally sold out. We all did best, it was  pretty fun days

Tennis camp in Yamanashi

This weekend, my tennis circle goes to Yamanashi for tennis camp. It is called "Akigassyuku."  In this camp, 3rd students will graduate from this circle. I like them so much. Therefore I'm sad for it. I want to enjoy it with my full power.

Back to Japan

This week my dad is coming back to Japan! But it's just for a week though. 

I'm really excited because it's been a half years since we last met. I hope he is coming back to Japan with some souvenir.  

When he reached Japan, my family are planning to do his late birthday party! We are planning to go to the Italian restaurant that my dad loved when he was in Japan. We will give him a surprise birthday cake too. I hope that my dad will enjoy it. Also, we are planning to go to the shopping too. Since my dad is living alone in Saudi Arabia, he needs some instant noodle to survive. So we will go on a drive to a big surper market and buy him some foods.

It's going to be a short time that I can spend time with him, but I want to enjoy as much as possible.

shopping

Yesterday I went to Futagotamagawa with my mother. She was shopping alone and I wanted new clothes so I met her after school. I wanted a new jeans and a sweater so I first went to H&M and found a new jeans. Then I went to Mila Owen and found a blue sweater.
I often go shopping with my mother because she buys me what I want. If I go with my friend or alone I need to pay by myself.

A special day

I went to my junior high and high school's gymnastic festival the other day.

My school is rather big compared to ordinary schools in Japan and there are a lot of trees and is rich in nature.

This year, we had the privilege of a gymnastic team perform from other country.

Their performance was professional and beautiful.

To me, this annual festival is important not because watching the students perform is fun, but because I can meet my friends while taking a walk on campus.

However, this year I couldn't find my friends to talk to, so I was a little sad, and decided to leave school a lot earlier than other people did. It was still noon.

I walked down to the gate, saying good bye to the guard and left. When walking down the street about 100m off the gate however, I found a very familiar guy walking from the other side. He was one of my best friends. I started talking, tellimg him I was only heading to a convenient store to get Lunch, and started walking in the opposite direction with him as if nothing happened.

We talked a lot until the whole festival was over. The performance of the team from other country was held in the afternoon.

And met a lot of friends and went to a restaurant for dinner with friends.

This day is special, but meeting this guy on the way home made the day even more special.

Sagamihara Festival

Last week, I went to the Sagamihara Festival. I belong to futsal circle and we sold tapioka juice. First day, we sold 200 juices. Our goal was to sold 150, so we were happy to achieved it. On the second day, there were less people coming to the Festival, so we only sold 100 juices. In this Festival you can see dance performances or band musics.

My Halloween plans

Halloween is coming quite soon!

This year, I have two exciting plans. On next Saturday night, My cousin is coming to visit me, so we are going to join a Halloween party in Sibuya, and then, we move to Simokitazawa and join a kind of exciting party called ‘‘Shimokita Halloween night.’’ We are going to wear a black cat’s costume and make up like a cat! Actually, my cousin and I were born on the same day so we grew up like twins. When we were child, we sometimes wear the same clothes but recently don’t, so we decided to wear the same costume to remember our childhood and feel like a child again!

 Also, on Halloween night, one of my best friend from high school is coming to Tokyo, so we are going to go to IKSPIARI to join Miracle Vell Magic’s ‘‘Velly Spooky Night’’ ! This time, we will wear a costume of Anna (a character of Frozen) and make up like a zombie. We both like Miracle Vell Magic (a kind of singer) so we are really exciting to meet her!

I’m sure my Halloween events are all going to be so exciting! I can’t wait!

Do you have any Halloween plans?

Wedding Party

Last Friday, I went to  my friend's wedding party with my other friend.


The husband, he is my firend and 4 years older than me.

The party was quite small and unofficial.

Just chatting and drinking, talking about how they get togeher.

In addition, they will have baby in December.

It is really pleasing.

 Before I went to the party, I'd thought marriage has nothing to do with me.

But, after that, I came to wonder if I can get marry with someone nice.

Meiji Shrine.

I`m happy that these days the weather is so good.
Yesterday I went to Meiji shrine with Momoko.
Actually it was our first time to go there so we were very excited.
I enjoyed the beautiful weather, trees and especially the clean air.
Although yesterday was an ordinary day, there were many foreign people, which was surprising.
I consulted an oracle and made a money offering.
On that day, there was a wedding ceremony held. The women wearing the Kimono was beautiful.

After we finished walking around the shrine, we decided to have a late lunch.
First we wanted to eat Okonomiyaki but the place we wanted to eat was closed.
So we went to a another restaurant called "Negishi" which is near our school and ate kalbi which tasted very good.

I had a nice time but my legs hurt because I walked too much.

Volunteer Work

Have you volunteered before?

Last Saturday I volunteered at a place called Zou no Hana Park in Yokohama City. It's right next to Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse, so you could see it from the park.

At the park, there was this event which children could experience to work, get paid (not real money), and then, get candy from what they earned. It was like a small society in that park. There were many work booth and I volunteered in one of those. The chidren were very energitic and worked with enthusiasm. They were so cute. I actually learned many things from them and it was such a great day.

After volunteering the member of the Non Profit Organization (NPO), the Connection of the Children invited me for a late lunch at their sharehouse which also could be a guesthouse. It was very nice of them. The house was under construction when I visited and there were many things all over the place, but the wall were very nice. Guest from all over the world left messages and pictures on the wall. It was colorful and just looking at them I could hear the laughter.

This was my first time participating in Connection of the Childern. I enjoyed very much with the members, so I would like to do it again. Sadly, there is one next week, but I'm not available, so maybe next week?

Setting: an island near the sea.

Mermaid

We watched the video, "Mermaid", by Tezuka Osamu.

Setting: I think this story is set during the World War 1 and 2, at the early 1900s. There were some government oppressions in many countries at that time. The place is untold, however, the appearance of the house reminds me European country where is near the sea.

Character: A boy and his imaginary mermaid (a fish, in fact).

Conflict: The boy vs adults who are around him (including army and his parents).

Climax: When the boy finally sees his mermaid again.

Symbol: Daydream.

Irony:

1. However the government army tries hard to suppress and brainwash the nations, it cannot. Freedom of thought which includes daydream is not completely controlled. Not only it is intangible and very inner; people never forget the things which are really precious for them.

2. All adults ruin the boy’s future by oppression although he may have unlimited possibility. They forget their childhood memories; how they played a world of fantasy and how it was amusing. The daydream is sort of imagination; and it will help people being considerate of others, enhance understanding, and widen their own world. Though, adult deny the boy and even assume that he must be crazy.

 

Theme:

1. Suppression of freedom of thought and expression.

2. The things which people lose as they have grown up.

Lucky

Last Saturday, I went to Ark Hills Music Week.
I was helping out the event.

Every Saturday, they held "Hills Marche" in the open space.

On my break, I found potato. And it was only 50 yen! I wanted potato to make gratin, so I bought it!
Also, there was big chocolate scone. Usually they don't do that, but the restaurant was selling them in the open space because there was a event.
Luckily, I could buy the last one! I was very happy.

It was a wonderful weekend for me.

The festival in Sagamihara

Last Saturday and Snuday, there was a collage festival in Sagamihara campus.

It was a wonderful movie. Also it was such heartbreaking that I couldn't stop crying. It's about the story of a horse, beautiful black horse.

Dinner with my family

I went to a Sushi restaurant for dinner with my family on Sunday. The restaurant was a conveyor belt sushi bar. All of my family love sushi so it was great time! It was crowded and we waited more than 30 minutes. And finally we could sit on seats. We ate many kinds of sushi.

                The mermaid represents the boy`s freedom of thinking.
               

Theme:  To make an opportunity for us to know and think about the terrible situation that was  
              given to people in those days. Also telling how horrible it is to not to be able to think or
              say out opinion freely. Maybe he wants to say that losing the power of imagination from
              people isn`t  good.


             

Today's dinner

Today, I went to a monjya shop which my friend works with other friends. The shop is famous, and celebrities often go there. She made us monjya and okonomi-yaki. It was very yummy! Finally, the shop serviced for us; it gave us special deserts, and one monjya was for free. We had a very good time, and would like to go there again!
