I Stopped writing. Just because...why?
Yesterday, I watched MOVIE"The Lake House".
It was so-so. It based on Korean Movie, so there were many points that I couldn't understand like other Korean drama.
Anyway, actor and actress were great, so it was not bad.
Tomorrow I'll go to "pireat of caribiab2".
I hope it wi'll be better than Lake House...]]>Conversation classhttp://maririn720.exblog.jp/131927/2004-04-05T16:21:33+09:002004-07-20T03:49:14+09:002004-04-05T16:21:33+09:00maririn720diary(English)
We have a lesson at Mister Dounut near my house. It is good for me, it takes only few minute from my house! Lesson is fine. But I'll ask him to correct my English mistakes I made.
One thing I cannot understand. He told me to buy his bevarage?! Of course I pay lesson's fee and how should I pay his juice???]]>OHANAMIhttp://maririn720.exblog.jp/125883/2004-04-03T14:43:50+09:002004-07-20T03:49:14+09:002004-04-03T14:43:50+09:00maririn720diary(English)
The day before yesterday,I went to Korakuen(one of the biggest park in Japan). There were many people even weekday. and today I also went to the park near my house with my family. I'm not a hanami maniac, but I go 2 times to see them this year. I guess average Japanese people go to Hanami 2-3 times for this ohanami term?!
]]>Is this a cold??http://maririn720.exblog.jp/100626/2004-03-25T14:29:31+09:002004-07-20T03:49:14+09:002004-03-25T14:29:31+09:00maririn720diary(English)
So I just try to sleep well and eat some herb candies for my bad sore throat...
I hope I feel good soon... ]]>Today's Lunchhttp://maririn720.exblog.jp/50969/2004-03-04T21:48:00+09:002004-07-20T03:49:14+09:002004-03-04T21:48:00+09:00maririn720diary(English)
After meeting I went to Bus station to go home, but I found I was hungry so I had lunch at passage cafe.
There were some set dishes as lunch special, spaghetti, curry rice and sandwitch. I love sandwitch, so I ordered panini(Italian hot sandwitch) with shrimp and tomato. It was good and also
reasonable! ( 500yen, included salad and coffee!)
]]>Enjoy winehttp://maririn720.exblog.jp/44853/2004-03-01T22:27:27+09:002004-07-20T03:49:14+09:002004-03-01T22:27:27+09:00maririn720diary(English)
But reacently I found the reason why I had it was just "drink too much". I mean it was not wine's fault(^^), it was MY FAULT!
Now I drink wine sometime(weekend mostly) with my husband after my baby fall asleep. At last I know 2 glasses of wine is the best quantity to feel good ! Not too much.
I usually eat nice cheese with wine. And they make me very very happy...]]>My favorite-Bagle-http://maririn720.exblog.jp/39311/2004-02-27T22:22:25+09:002004-07-20T03:49:14+09:002004-02-27T22:22:25+09:00maririn720diary(English)
Especially, I love Bagles!!
When I've been in US, I always ate bagles at breakfast. I loved blueberry bagles the best. There were many bagle shops and usually they were quite cheap(50-70cents each). In Japan, it costs 130-200 yen . Double or more! And tastes are really different. American one is much tasty and chewy. I think Bagles should be chewy. If not, they aren' Bagles. They are "Bread".
Anyway I miss Anerican Bagles. And now I have 2 ways to get American Bagles. One is to go Kobe(or Osaka). The other is using internet. In Kobe and Osaka(in Kansai area) there are "Bagle K" they import American bagles! So whenever I go to Kansai, I always buy them. Or "Bagle K" also has a web site, so I order them on line.
I hope I can buy them easier and cheaper in Japan... ]]>My favorite-Runway Bride-http://maririn720.exblog.jp/26218/2004-02-20T22:08:19+09:002004-07-20T03:49:14+09:002004-02-20T22:08:19+09:00maririn720diary(English)
I like Julia Roberts basically. So I've watched almost all of her movies such as "Pretty Woman","Notting Hill" or so.
I sometimes use DVD to study English and at that time I watch it many times to learn phrases. So I choose my favotite one. Also I think love stories are easier to understand. That's why I chose this movie for learning.
When I study, I choose English subtitle and try to catch all sentences. I'm not native speaker, so it is really hard to catch all. But I can check English subtitle at the same time and it is very helpful!
Now I have a small kid and no time to watch movies, but I want to do that again soon...]]>My favorite-chocolate-http://maririn720.exblog.jp/24952/2004-02-20T00:42:36+09:002004-07-20T03:49:14+09:002004-02-20T00:42:36+09:00maririn720diary(English)
Today I tried bitter one, and it was good! I like chocolate but not very much. But this one is not too sweet and I love it. When I went to Belgium, I ate many chocolates('cause they are poplar products of Belgium) and I think this taste is quite similer kind of them. I feel taste of cocoa...
Besides, this is reasonable!! In 1 package there are 2 dozens of pieces and price is under 300 yen! We should buy, shouldn't we??]]>Model Househttp://maririn720.exblog.jp/21388/2004-02-17T22:37:03+09:002004-07-20T03:49:14+09:002004-02-17T22:37:03+09:00maririn720diary(English)
I don't want a Japanese-style residence. I don't need any Tatami room. On the 1st floor, there will be a living room, dinning room, kitchen, washroom and bathroom. And on the 2nd floor, I need a master bedroom, 2 kids room and washroom. I'm dreaming a perfect plan in my mind...
But I know it is very difficult to continue to pay for 30? years!! Do we deserve a new house??]]>My Favorite Restauranthttp://maririn720.exblog.jp/19398/2004-02-16T18:12:28+09:002004-07-20T03:49:14+09:002004-02-16T18:12:28+09:00maririn720diary(English)
But I recently found nice restaurant! They are always very nice to us and of course dishes are good. I maybe go there once a week?! The name is "Savio". And mainly they sarve Italian food. It takes about 20 minutes by car from my house. I haven't gone at dinner time(only lunch time), so I would like to go at night some day!
]]>St. Valentine's Day Evehttp://maririn720.exblog.jp/15997/2004-02-13T23:36:29+09:002004-07-20T03:49:14+09:002004-02-13T23:36:29+09:00maririn720diary(English)
In Japan, only women give men (whom they love)chocolate. On the other hand, in the States, not only women but men give some presents(not chocolate!) for women. It sounds much better than Japan?! Besides, "White day" is only Japanese culuture.(I've heard it was made by some Japanese candy company.) Anyway.
I'm Japanese, so I obey Japanese culture(^^)
Today I went to Takashimaya, and got some chocolate for my husband. There were many women on the sweet shops even week day. I saw many people bought very expensive one(such as GODIVA, FAUCHION, or so)! I didn't want these, instead I got some nice chocolate cakes. I hope he loves it!
]]>Love Beer?!http://maririn720.exblog.jp/14443/2004-02-12T22:25:40+09:002004-07-20T03:49:14+09:002004-02-12T22:25:40+09:00maririn720diary(English)
I usually drink 2 cans of beer per day. Yes, almost everyday. But when I was pregnant I stopped drinking!!
After I had a baby I didn't drink until my kid became 1 year old, because I did breast feeding. So I didn't drink for 2 years.
Last month I stopped breast feeding, and I started drinking again. I was surprised at how much I was weak!! Only a glass of beer made me dizzy... I couldn't believe it. But day by day, I feel okay. And now I drink 2 cans and even some more wine, too.
To tell the truth, I drank 4-5 cans per day before. So I don't bounce back totally. But I think I shouldn't do that?!
]]>Go to Kojimahttp://maririn720.exblog.jp/12948/2004-02-11T22:12:20+09:002004-07-20T03:49:14+09:002004-02-11T22:12:20+09:00maririn720diary(English)
Anyway we arrived at 2:30. My son, Hikaru played with his cousins and he really had fun with them. Then we went to Chinese restaurant together. It was not very expensive one, but Butakaku(boiled pork until softly) was wonderful! It sarved with Chinese bread and eat together like sandwitch.
I loved it!
Now my husband tries to get sleep my son. Usually I do. But today is holiday!! And it means my little day off about taking care of my kid...(Not all but part of...) ]]>Anyway, shall we start?? http://maririn720.exblog.jp/11825/2004-02-10T23:23:57+09:002004-07-20T03:49:14+09:002004-02-10T23:23:57+09:00maririn720diary(English)
