Enjoy wine

Enjoy wine_a0003301_222627.jpgI loved wine before, but these few years I stopped drinking it. Because I always had a very bad hanging over when I drunk wine.

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-

My favorite-Bagle-_a0003301_22269.jpgI like all kinds of bread. I think I can live without rice but not bread!
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-

My favorite-Runway Bride-_a0003301_22720.jpgThis is one of my favorite movies. And in Japan, it was put on another theme, "Pretty Bride". But an original title is "Runway Bride" anyway.

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-

My favorite-chocolate-_a0003301_04137.jpgThis is a brand new chocolate of Morinaga. The name is "Carre de chocolat". There are 2 types of taste and one is mild and the other is bitter.

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 House

Model House_a0003301_22364.jpgToday I went to see some model houses. Hopefully, I'd like to have a detached house within this year!!

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??
