Read minds

I was reading a book which I borrowed from my boss. It was written by a psychologist and it's about how to read other people's minds, especially boyfriends, girlfriends, clients or bosses.I thought it was weird that the book my boss lent to me told me about the secret of reading his mind...hmm...But it was pretty interesting, so I finished reading it today!!Well, I will pass it to my colleague in the same group tomorrow. It's her turn!

Shaolin soccer

Recently there are many interesting dark movies. I like suspense movies because they satisfy my curiosity.But today I chose a funny DVD called "Shaolin Soccer" which most of "Kung Fu Hustle" actors appear in. It isn't a new movie, so I think everyone's already watched this movie.It was so hilarious that I was laughing from the beginning to the end...for about two hours!!! (^0^)ahahahahahahahaha!!!!!

Amazon.com

I ordered a book called "The Notebook" from Amazon.com today.I watched the film last weekend and was so impressed. The brilliant story is still present in my mind and I can't forget it. When I read "Da Vinci Code", it took a long time and made me tired.So this time, I'm going to just enjoy it.

The Note Book

Last night, I found an amazing movie called "The Notebook". I didn't know this movie at all, but one of my English teachers told me that it was based on a best seller novel and was also a big hit of last year. I doubted that it was worth watching.BuBuBuBuBut!!!! I was really moved...it was so nice, impressive and brilliant!! The film was a very pure love story. Maybe it's too nice to be true. But sometimes people need fantasies to live, and so do I. I was really touched and I couldn't sleep that night....so I slept in this morning.

SATC

I watched a DVD of "Sex And The City" today.
The heroines went to L.A. on vacation in this episode. They looked so upset by the differences between N.Y. and L.A.Actually, there seemed to be many cultural differences. I did't know that, so I was very interested in the comparison.

Let Off Steam

My friend and I had a party to comfort our colleague who was under a lot of stress. All we could do was listen to him patiently and nod. I hope he'll be fine soon.

i-pod

Now I'm wondering if I should buy an i-pod mini. So I went to the Apple Store in Ginza after work.Many colorful i-pods were displayed there. They looked so cool and sooooooo cute!!!!It was very hard to choose one from these colors on my own. Actually I couldn't....Maybe I'll ask my friends for advice about it tomorrow at a wine party.

TV maniac

It was a cloudy day, so I spent all day at home watching DVDs.First I was watching SATC which I borrowed from my friend.It was pretty interesting and the heroine's voice was cute, but the story was a little monotonous.So next I started watching "smallville". Maybe this TV show is for teenagers but I'm really into it.. The guy playing Clark Kent is so cute. I really think he is perfect for the role.

Mashmallows

I heard a very interesting topic; marshmallows are good for skin. Did you know that???Recantly it's said that eating ten marshmallows a day will make your skin beautiful and also remove wrinkles because they contain collagen. I actually doubt it. I think it's too good to be true!! .....But I'm a little curious, so now I'm trying it....

Futty tuna bun


I went to Jogashima Island that is the southernmost in the Miura Paninsula.This small island wasn't as small as I thought. I wanted to see a lighthouse but I missed it... I saw many people playing on the beach (BBQ, sun tanning, drinking beer..etc.) and a strange shaped cave instead.There is a fishing port near there that is famous for tuna. My friend highly recommended a fatty tuna bun called "Toroman",so I tried it. It was pretty good...

Kairakuen


I went to Kairakuen Garden to see beautiful azaleas. This park was so clean, beautiful and spacious. It was beyond my expectations.It is actually one of the top3 beautiful Japanese gardens, but I'm sure that it is the best I've ever seen.The name is from a Chinese classic poem and the meaning is "to share pleasure with people". It's so nice and I was so impressed..wow!

24 inside

I went to English school after work.My teacher and I talked about my brandnew DVD writer. He was a little surprised by the price. My DVD writer wasn't as expensive as he thought, actually pretty cheep.And he taught me an interesting web site that I can learn English using movie trailers.As soon as I arrived home, I checked it out and found it pretty interesting and useful.I'm now really interested in the American web show, "24inside". Some of my favorite 24 characters appear and talk about behind the scenes. Ofcourse It doesn't have any subtitles and they speak very fast, so I can't catch what they're saying completely. It's hard to enjoy..so now I'm wondering if there're any good ways to improve my listening skills.

National Treasure

Today we could watch any movie we liked for only 1000yen each. So I went to see "National Treasure". Some people said that they weren't satisfied with the story, but I could enjoy it. During the movie, I thought it was a little similar to one of the most popular treasure hunting stories, "Indiana Jones".

Okinawa restaurant

It was such a beautiful day. So I went to Kichijoji. My purpose was checking out a Okinawa cuisine restaurant that my friend highly recommended to me. Bbefore dinner I stopped by a book store to buy some books and after that I went to Inokashira park . While walking there, I saw many adorable dogs wearing nice costumes.
The restaurant was very cozy and intimate with nice interior and music. I liked it so much. I ordered special sangria using Okinawa tangerines, fried Goya, "umibudoh" and deep fried "Fu". They were as yummy as he said....I wish I could have enjoyed it with him.
