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.

This day, my 6000yen flew away(it means "I wasted 6000yen).

This day, My mom and I went to see "Otsuka-kaizuka" in center kita which was my request and very exciting day.
The historical musium exhibit some historical houses from Yayoi-era, such as "Taka-yukashiki-soko" and so on. So we climbed the short mountain to see them, and after that we also saw some houses from Edo-era. This was very healthy day!

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!!
