This day, I found these amazing Hina-Ningyou ( I'm not sure, but it's probably Hina-Ningyou)at Kamio-ka! Everything were the minitures from dolls, some eating stuffs, house and the river...etc I LOVE the minitures so much!!! Especially, the 3rd photo! There are some Sushi, Osuimono, Chirashi-zushi. So I was crazy when I saw them, and the security started watching me a lot!

This day, my mom and I went to "Fuurin-ichi" at Kawasaki-daishi as I said on this blog before.

The photos I poseted are taken by me. There were so many amazing Fuurin, and we were excited to see them.
This day, many local aged people worked for the festival which was nice. And the kids were running around, dancing Bon-odori (Japanese traditional dance), eating Wata-ame. It seemed like everybody having fun.

I bought Fuurin of Red Daruma (like 2nd photo) for my room! So cute!!

(Grotta Azzurra:photo by jin_nkzw)

I want to go to Grotta Azzurra, Capri in Italy with my family for this summer. This is also called "the magical Blue Grotto" where visitors take a boat ride through a natural cavern that is filled very blue water. The reason why I want to go Grotta Azzurra is because My mom's friends who have been to there, and showed us the pictures of it. Since then, I really wanted to go.

Advice for traveling in Italy

Warnings:
1.Avoid restricted areas When entering with a car into a city,.
2.Sexual harassment is not regarded in the same way in Italy as in English-speaking countries. if you respond angrily face, everyone will be very surprised!

Sightseeing destinations
Rome has nearly 2,800 years of history during the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic, the Roman Empire, the Papal States, the Kingdom of Italy and the Italian Republic. And visitors can spend their time discovering the old architectural masterpieces or shopping in the designer boutiques along Via Del Corso, in the heart of the center...and so on!

On this day, I took TOEIC at Kanto-Gakuin Univ.
This was my second time to take it, and very difficult than I expected. I think may be this time was more difficult than the test on March. Whhhhhy????!!! Because did I finish English Intensive class? or no Preparations for the test?(always nothing)
This day, my 6000yen flew away(it means "I wasted 6000yen).

I need to study focusing on grammar and reading for next time.

This day, I went to see "Precious" with my mom after the school.

This is about a black 16-year-old Claireece "Precious" Jones (Gabourey Sidibe) who lives in the New York City neighborhood of Harlem in 1987.

This is Heartbreaking and emotionally story. But We could understand through the story what is happy for human being, and how important the education for young and so on...!
My mom and I cried on the end.
Oh!!Mariah Carey plays a social worker on this movie!

movie review: Little Miss Sunshine (2006)

"Little Miss Sunshine" is the funniest journey of normal family.
The main charcters: Olive(Abigail Breslin),Sheryl(Toni Collette),Richard(Greg Kinnear), Frank(Steve Carell), Grandpa Edwin(Alan Arkin), and Dwayne(Paul Danoand)go to the talent contest in Redondo Beach, California to make olive's dream come true.
While they get to the contest, they are facing so many family problems on the car that everyone may have experienced. Most of the time of this movie is focusing on a crazy family journey which is very very funny.

My review of this movie:
The story of this movie is quite simple , but really nice movie ever!!
It made me laugh HARD all the time. I promise you'll be laugh out too when the movie has just started. Unfortunately, this movie was not big hit in Japan which is very sad, so I watched it on DVD with my family, friends, my boyfriend and myself many times! Anyone can have fun!
So why don't you see Little Miss Sunsine?! You must be love it!!

Movie Review Response

One movie I really want to see again is JUNO.
Here are some reviews:

brino7 from United States:"Its rare I go to a preview and actually want to go see it again."

mrethanboy from United States:"The problem is that "Juno" tackles two very relevant issues in today's society–- namely, abortion and teenage pregnancy "

Richard from Toronto:"This was a great film, probably the best I've seen so far at the festival."

kimehh from United States:"it was amazing!... made me look at life again from a different perspective...Juno shows you reality, but it highlights the tiny details about love and life that you might start missing or forgetting about."


Those reviews make me want to see JUNO again. Like the reviewers say, it is not only just a great movie, but also make us thinking about today's isssues such as young pregnancy and how to deal with your life. So...you SHOULD be watch!! (and Little Miss Shunshine too!!)
