Hi! I haven't blogged for a long time.
I just have moved to Tokyo to restart my campus life since September 19.
So long no see my uni and friends! Everything seemed so fresh to me. People in urban city Tokyo remains restless and rushes to trains every day. And the street is still crowded with the walking students towards campus. One thing changed is I started cycling to school instead of on foot. Good exercise for me.
Anyway, I have come back to school again! And I am supposed to study much harder to get 4 credits in minimum. I will try my best to turn third year with my friends together. Since I have to do a huge amount of crazy reports and some other assignment, it is subtle if i could keep on blogging regularly. But I will try..as far as there is anything new happen to me.
See ya~~

BARBAPAPA

Yesterdat, I went to see my two old friends. We were at the same senior high school, and this was first time three of us went somewhere to play.We haven't been met each other since we graduated two years ago. Three girls have changed a lot(-:And I have uploaded some pictures of us( and Purikura), look at here.


After seeing the film NANA, we hanged around the street and found this toy shop! Pink BARBAPAPA mascot was just standing outside the shop delivering the balloons to the crowds. And I just could't help touching her so I had my friends take a shot of us. BARBAPAPA was SO cute!!! Anyway, we had a fun that day.

Kirikou et la sorcière

This is a French film, made in 1998. The background is set in Africa, and there are people and an evil sorceress, Karaba. The villiage has only women, children and old people. The men were rumored to be killed by Kabara because she hates all of the men.

And one of these men's children, Kirikou was one day given birth to. Unlike with other children, he was born by "himself" and tiny. He told her mum to "bear" him while still in mum's stomach, and scrawled from it. Kirikou seemed to have a nature of curiousness, bravery and wisdom before he was born. So he has a strong will to get to find out why the sorceress is mean to everybody and starts his adventure.

When he finds the elder who answers every question you ask, Kirikou decides to fight with Karaba and " save" her from agony. And when he makes it, he asks an unexpected favor of the soceress...

Kirikou is petit, but more independent than every child. He seems to know everything what he wants to do and have guts to realize it no matter what risk he would face. On the other hand, Karaba is a soceress, powerful, mean and beautiful. How could such a naked tiny child finaly save the socerness and whole villiage and become a hero? He asks " why" to everything and keeps on pursuing truth. As we are growing older, we seems to lose the right to ask "why" anytime. And sometimes, we are just getting so used to the rule that stop thinking " why". Or just because we are too lethargic to ever give a thought about it.

Kirikou et la sorcière also showed us how to be generous and the problem of " gender". Karaba used to suffer from the men so she had a great hatred towards the" masculine". So this film can also be acceped seriously. And what attracts me is the color in this film, really African. And the spoken language French also sounds charming. I once took French classes when i was freshman, so I want to learn it again. Since my major is English, learning French will help me a lot comprending English word meaning. And I like its pronunciation too, though I am totally poor at it. ;;It always seems to us that pronunciation is much more difficult than grammar. Someone who knows French would please help me??(-:

A Forever Secret..

I don't know whether I should post this diary in public. But I' m sure if I keep it an secret alone with my mom, I will certainly get depressed and one day exploded! My mom told me to keep it a forever secret among us,,but I regret to say I can't.

Money's got stolen! This happend a week ago, that's why I hadn't had mood writing anything in my blog. That day, morning, he, came to our home as usual , and watching his favorite volleyball game vedios at Tatami. Everything was normal and I and my mom were just lying on the bed still drowsy not taking any attention to our bags in the kitchen. Never had both of us dreamed our money was at stake!

As we could see, the boy's behaviour was quite suspicious that day. He didn't tell us a word he's leaving for a bookstore. Without saying a word in front of me! It couldn't be imagined how weird it seemed to me. He just didn't look like what he was as ever. My mom and I had put great faith in him so when we realized we'd been stolen, we felt dead aghast and betrayed. Still can't believe my eyes seeing my momey was 50,000 yen less and mom's 10.000 yen vanished. There was no other people coming up to our Tatami, the kitchen was just near to it. It took us loads of time convincing ourselves the truth. We were both stunned and distressed. The little boy we've cared for so much let us down..

Although we could 100 percent make sure he's committed this , but without evidence, there is no hope. There's only trouble. Ah...so hard to believe it...Right now, we just hope he will stop doing this forever no matter what reason he could have, eagering for his allowance to buy game cards or something else the ordinary child like him would like. He will regret doing this fool thing. It's a irrieversible accomplished fact, a dark memory in his heart till the end of his life. A pity child, really.

By the way, today, I spent my whole time finishing reading Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban, in the original. It seems Half-blooded Prince has been published already, I can't wait to read it! J.K.ROWLING is the greatest author I know, isn't she?(-:
