These days, I keenly realize that I need to brush up my English one more time because
when I need to speak or e-mail in English in our office,
I can't tell everyting what I need to tell customers.><

My friend, nickey took this picture in Italy and

I'm really interested in these penguins.

They are like Heiba Yoko in China, aren't they?

Polka-dots are her symbolic pettern.

I love Kusama Yayoi, so I'm introducing some of her works.^-^

When I glanced at these four animals, I thought it must' ve been Gaspard & Lisa.

But I found that they were reindeer since I noticed their horns.

I saw the white big Christmas tree in Sakae.
The colour is slighgtly inclining to blue and it makes the tree more fantastic.

Sakae area is illuminated with various colours of lights for Christmas and new year.

My senior chose this postcard for me and she commented
that this picture was close to my image, especially the scarf waving in the wind.

She has left our office last week but our friendship never ends. right?^^

OKADA Armin was used to be a popular cartoonist and she drew serial cartoon strips in 'Ribon'.

'The father is worrier' was one of my favorite cartoons in my childhood. She is called 'a dokudami flower in the girls' cartoon world'

Some people don't like her works for extreme plots and pictures.

That's why she didn't become really popular.

But she got many fans and now she is in the limelight because internet become widespread and some enthusiastic fans gather on the internet.

～Eat out with my sweetheart～

I went to a restaurant with my sweetheart last weekend.
He isn't my boyfriend but I like him for a long time.

Actually we know each other for almost a year and we know not only good points also bad.

It's not easy to love a person for a very longtime , however
I want to see his good points to be happy with him, for the time being.

Strengely enough, when women are with someone they love,
they become small eaters.

And I'm not exception! It's funny but I couldn't eat up...
Sorry for a dish and dessert.><

>Cynthia
Don't worry about this topics.
I like him but I'm always enjoy my life.
I don't feel unhappy at all!

Today's Japanese food I cooked.

I want to explain about them but I'm so sleepy today.

～See you next time～

How can I say 'Yarase' in English?

Let's see the following dialogue...

A:I'm really hooked on that TV show "ABC" now!
B:I think it's all staged.
A:What? You're kidding. I guarantee you it's definitely real.
B:I don't know... it looks staged to me!
A:You're breaking my heart...

I met an old friend, Matsuko in Hamamatsu-city on Sunday.

～'EIINKAI' Sep 23rd, 2006 at Yamachan, Kanayama～

Last night, I joined a English-drinking circle, EIINKAI whchi tucci recommended to me before.
The conception of the circle is to enjoy speaking English and drinking.

This time, we ate lots of Tebasakis at Yamachan.
(Tebasaki is a speciality of Nagoya.)
And spoke in English a little! ^-^

Special thanks*tucci, macha, chobin and everyone who attended the party.

This is a strap for a cell phone and this hiragana; the Japanses cursive syllabary means Azusa.
The place where I bought this was a train.
The train's name was Azusa.

How come there are trains which names are Azusa...?
It's because 'Azusa' is the river's name in Nagano, Japan
and the trains run by the way of Nagano.

～Birth day present　Ⅱ～
My close friend gave me this bear with a message card and macarones.

Although it's belated to say, the day before last, September 12th was my 27th birthday!
They were pieces of cakes for me and one of them has gone to my stomack. It was really nice.

And then, to my surprise, a co-worker gave me a birthday present today.I often have lunch with her but I didn't expect that at all, soit was a really happy surprise.^^

Hi there, how have you been?

Today I went to cooking shool and made three dishes; Niku jaga, Oyako don and miso soup.

These three are very popular Japanes dishes and we should cook them well.

It's not difficult to make, but I wanted to know how to make them better.


Usually I don't cook at home again after I learn some menus, but I think it's time to start on review at home, otherwise, I won't be able to improve my ability to cook so much.

So... wait for a while, my family!

I need your help to put pressure on myself, so I'm telling.

Tonight, I received a parcel and it contented the textbooks for writing e-mail in English.
It's supposed to be finished within 3 months and if we couldn't finish in time,
we can extend 3 more months for free.

Recently I felt that I really needed to brush up my English for my job
and I made my mind to take that correspondence course.

Keep your eyes on me so as not to stop studying English!^^;

Do you like your present job? Or...
Which job was the most impressive for you so far?

This is about my work place where I could meet lots of people.
It was the cram school which teachers tought only compositions, reading comprehension and description of Japanese to the students from elementary to high school.

I liked that place and there were some reasons.

One of the biggest reasons was that there were many unique people I'd never known each other include workers, students and their family.

Sometimes I learn very important things in our life from students,
the other time, I was encoureged by my boss.
Besides, I was inspired by teachers.

The other reason was....
I've been good at Japanse since I was a student and I like writing essays.
I could make the most of my ability in that job.

Even though there were many people whose ability was much higher than me,
still I could enjoy working there.^^

I go to a cooking school with a friend and we started to go there on this March.
Last Sunday, we cooked pasta with tomatoes and tuna
and fried whitefish with tar tar sauce.

My friend, I and a woman was in a table and
we talked over those dishes.

The woman was going to live in Germany within a few months
because her husband will be transferred the branch in Germany.

To hear her story, we astonished and
we were envious ^^;

Hi I'm Azusa.
I'm handling the trading business and I have to use English sometimes.
But recently I have much less chances to study it than before.
That's one of the reason I decided to have this blog.

Feel free to visit here and leave some comments.

Although I'm new here and I don't know how to enjoy here yet,
I want to adjust soon ^-^

Let's enjoy together!!
