The reasons

Why will I go abroad to study? I thought about it again.

I'd worked in the company for 5 years. I'd been an office job. I began to feel a pain in my back since the summer before last. I didn't very worry at first. I'd been working ,surfing as usual. But.......

The pain was getting worse. Finally, That disabled me from working. What is the cause of the pain?? I wondered. The cause was ...... Maybe, I had seen a screen of the computer for hours every day while I was working. And I had to hit many papers. I probably used too much the computer. Too much of anything is bad for us. I drawed from that experience.

7 months have past since I quited working. I'm making my living by disability allowance.

I realized I was so happy when I couldn't work. Now, The pain is getting well by little and little.

So I'm going to go to the Southern California in next spring. I love California~♪ Sure I never go there. A mild climate , beautiful sea , mighty nature.I wanna pass through a variety of experiences and learn English. That is what I most want to do. I had been thinking that I would go abroad. Austraria,Hawaii,Canada,etc...

I'm 28 years old now. I don't wanna end the twenties. It must be last chance. Maybe, The God may give a opportunity to an irresolute women, otherwise I couldn't decide.

Anyway, I need to cure my illness and get back my strength. I tnink I can do since I have the purpose.

Three straight holidays !

How did you spend for last three straight holidays?? I went shopping at Sano premium outlets. Maybe that was my first visit there. But I might have gone there ever. My memory is unclear....^^;
Anyway we weren't caught in a traffic jam, we were able to arrive about 11:00 a.m. There weren't a lot of people yet when we arrived. So we walked around slowly and carefully. Recently, outlet stores were built in all over Japan.
And that's very popular. Of course, I like it. I frequently go shopping at a neighboring outlet mall. Even so, there are 180shops in Sano outlets. We couldn't see all shops, so entered only shops which we want to see.
The left picture is GODIVA. GODIVA's outlets is. It's rare,isn't it?? All friends (except me..) bought some cookies and chocolate because it were half prices. I don't think that I wanna buy expensive sweets. To be honest I had no momey~^^; It's saving....; ; I couldn't afford a quality chocolate. After all, we walked around until evening.

After a shopping we had Sano ramen at "Banri". My friend checked out it beforehand. We went there about 5:00 p.m., peoples had lined up.

This is "chashao-men". That taste was... good. Noodles was heavy,so it looks like "udon". After we had enough we went to nearby spa. That was a natulal hot spring and there was an outdoor bath. I had been driving all the time, I was so tired. So it was the time of heaven..
The way home back was congested so it took a couple hours.




And this time, my booty is.....Paul frank's goods. That's one of my favorite brand. I think it's so cool. Casual & cute. But there is no shops near my home. And I couldn't buy anytime. Do you think that how much were they? This pretty sweat and sneakers were..... for only 4200-yen ! Not one, Two were.! I'm satisfied with my good shopping. Since I had avoided shopping, I bought clothes after a long time.
So I'm happy now~

I'm thinking about next plan with my close friends.

chilly~

It was.... a chilly day today! It's a nice weather, but so cold. Maybe I felt it was about December.
I hate the winter. We need to put on many clorthes. But also we feel cold yet.
But It'll be freezing more and more..... It's scary for me.

But..but! I can't do nothing but complain during the winter. That's right~ I never run away from the Japanese winter season, While I live in Japan. So I want a warm jacket such as the top of picture. It's so pretty,isn't it? It's my favorite brand's one. That name is "NIKITA".
I'm sure I would go out anytime,if I could get it. I really want it... but I can't.
Because I save the money for my plan. I need to save my money as much as I can. So I have to cut down my clothing expenses. It's not easy controlling my desire. I like cute clothes so much. I like shopping~,so I'm a women. I perhaps might buy someone..... ??

Anyway,I can't have got nice idea how I spend the winter...! Chilly~~ Help me!

MIURA with friends !

I went to "Miura" with Sayaka and sayaka's friends. The Miura peninsula is in the southernmost of Kanagawa.The upper picture is "Jogashima". We crossed a bridge for going to there.
We can see the beautiful Pacific ocean there. It's really clean seawater. I thought that if we go swimming in the sea there in summer, it must be so good! I wanna go in summertime next time.

And then, "Maguro" is a special product of "Miura". "Maguro of Miura" is very popular in Japan. But I didn't know...^^;

We ate "Maguro-Nakaochi-don". That was very very gorgeous! Look !! But that price was only 640 yen. The first ten persons can eat it in a special price. So we had been waiting before the restaurant opened. Our plan worked!! All of us ate it for 640 yen. We were excited when we looked it. "Maguro" was very fresh. Anyway, great tastes. I love "Maguro". I was so happy~★

Afternoon, we went to "Soreiyu-no-oka" to take a bath. There were some open-air bath. The other people nearly wasn't there. So we enjoyed and relaxed well. At night, we did "Kimchi-nabe".

Many porks,vegetables,tofu,mashrooms....It was so~good.

Then, I ate too much. Really,I need to care. I always eat too much when I do any "Nabe". Why, yes, you know,"Nabe" is so good.

I found then for the first time, a cheese match "Kimchi-nabe".

It was a new discovery for me. Ai told me it, I tried. I like a cheese,and so like a kimchi. But I had never eaten two together. "Cheese" is matching "Kimchi" well ! I absolutely will put in some cheeses my bowl when I do "Nabe" next time.

After a meal, we played card games. It likes "UNO".But it's not "UNO".
It's called .......?? Well, I cannot remember. That game was a bit difficult, so we use us head, but very interesting! I think, it's happy that we have a meal ,and play with many peoples.

I would rather eat with anyone than I eat alone while watching a TV. Anyway, I had a good time with them that night.

Actually, That was the first time I met Millard familys. They are so kind and fun. And they can speak English well. I'm glad to meet them. Next morning, Jeoy made many french toasts for us. We had it and good caffe. I had a fantastic time with new members. It was a fresh experience for me. I wanna go with them somewhere.

Wedding Party @ TORAMI

Forever life with someone, forever love...



I attended my friend's wedding party which was held in Torami. It's so moving,and happy.
That party was made by themselves and friends. Directer,Emcee,Sound,Flower arrangement,Patissier,and more.. all. It was a big plan ,but we accomplished ourselves each duty. I made a wedding cake for bride and groom. I frequently make a cake as a hobby, but making a wedding cake was my new experience. We have to make efforts whenever do a new challenge,so I developed an idea, I tried again and again by that day. As a result......
Such lovely cake was completed..! I did it.... I was so relieved.
























I was glad it was so better than I imaged!! and anyway, a bride and groom seemed very pleased.



That place was a resutrant in Torami, "40 miles" by name.
This resutrant's food is good. I often have a lunch with friends there after surfing. That day, in restrant,there were many many people, an invited guest was more than seventy!

I was so glad of their happiness. I wish them happy life !!

★Congratulations!★

my lover

He is my lover. That's right~! He is my dog. He is so~cute!,isn't it?
I talk to him "You're so cute!" every day. ^^♪


His name is "May". Because he became my family on May. I never forget the day when he came to my house. He was a tow-months-old baby dog. I was only a junior high-school student then.
Now,He is 15 years old. So he is very old.But he take a walk every day with light steps. and he eat very well. I hope that he live as long as possible. I wanna be with him forever.

Last Sunday, I took him for drive to the sea of "Kujukuri-beach".
"Kujukuri-beach" can be reached about 1 and a half hours by car from my home. I often have gone there for surfing , but May was the first time. In a car, he had been being restless till we arrived.

After we arrived, we went walking to the beach. It was a fine day, a breach of wind from the sea made me feel refreshed. That day, the wave was small. But the wind was very weak, the surfase of the sea was clean. There was a lot of people in the beach. They enjoyed surfing,walking, and more.We sat an embankment, and watched surfers a while. It was a peaceful time.

But, I always wonder why doesn't he drink some water whenever he go out?
I think he is a bit nervous dog. At that time,too, he wouldn't drink. He came back home, he drunk so much water. I thought you should have drunk at the sea if you were so thirsty.

After back home, he seemed very tired. so he fell into a sound sleep.
While watching his sleeping face, I thought,
"Till when can we go out together ?"

Veronica MARS

"Veronica MARS" is an American teen drama. I frequently watch a drama to listen English. Although, I just like it...^^;
American drama is good. I can listen to English conversation in diary while enjoying.

Veronica is so cute and she is a very smart high school girl. She has beautiful blond hairs and a slim figure. I like her fashion,too. She usually is a casual style,and she frequently layer her clothing. I always think that's so cute.
Today, I finished watching first seasons of this dorama. Then I wonder how the story will develop after that. and now, I'm longing to watch second seasons. But I can't... because the season 2 has not been lent in Japan yet. ugh~~ I wanna watch it !! I wanna know next story..

In last scene, Who did come to see her?? Duncan? or Logan??
I expect to be Logan a bit. I can't decide to get an Anerican edition DVD of second seasons. I want it but, it's not translated into Japanese. So maybe I would't understand the story. They speak fast. so I don't follow them yet. But someday, I will do it. Well, Let's try....

yakiniku

This is not yakiniku^^♪

That's right~ this is a cake!!Moreover, I made it myself. Does it look delicious?Yes, it must be so good! Actually, i already have eaten it with my friends.

To tell the truth...

Tonight , I had a dinner at a smorgasbord restaurant of yakiniku in Makuhari.Of course, I ate so much. My friends too.We can eat as much it we like only for 2000 yen. It's very inexpensive,isn't it? Moreover, the beef was yamagata-beef. There were vegetables,too. But I only ate beefs^^; It was so tender and good taste. After the dinner, we ate a peace of my homemade cake. Even so, I ate too much....but

Look ! You'll want to eat !!

This plan's time is limited by the end of next month. I may go again...

Girls cup in shidashita beach.

Yesterday, I went to the Shidashita beach to wacth the surf contest.
Shidashita beach is the most of famous surf spots in Japan. It's said that 〝surfing-dojo〟.〝Dojo〟means a training hall for judo. Usually, there are many good surfer and professionals in this spot.

But yesterday, 〝Girls cup hare-nochi-hare〟surfing contest was held in this point so there were many girl's surfer. There was 3 grades of surfing . special's, open's, biginner's .My friends entered each classes. It was rainy a bit . But the sea was in very good condition. there was a weak west wind and around 5 feet good waves!!

I watched my friend's heat in special class.but much to her regret, she wasn't able to win. She was very disappointed that she wasn't able to catch good waves.The other special class heat so excited me as well. It got me to want surfing.

so I entered the next 〝Shidatora〟point. there was a lot of people because the wave was so good. I enjoyed surfing after along interval.I couldn't have surfed for along time, so i tired soon. But I was satisfied that i was able to ride on some waves. It was very good waves!!

I feel happiness whenever i could ride on a good wave.

After surf, i talked as seeing the sea with my friends.

then, my surfing companions got out of the sea. they were so tired,but they smiled and seemed to be satisfied .

Winter will come soon. But surfer will continue to enter the sea!!
