✿A HAPPY NEW YEAR /謹賀新年✿

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.^^
