Simple Life

I'm talking about Simple Life.
Now some lucky people can choose many things and get things they want and need to select or refuse them.I want to try many things when I 'm intrested in and I did.Sometimes I couldn't do and it is Never ending.I wanted to looking for my special favorite...
I saw the word " Simple is the best".I think what is Simple?
If the people do same thing all of their life,is that their simple life?
if the people has a quick decision, they might spend simple life?
What do you think?

Cookies

I have one more favorite cookies. It is from Hawai'i. My friend gave it to me today. It's so yummy!(www.bigislandcandies.com)
She also showed me some beautiful pictures while we had a lunch. She had taken them in Hawai'i.
It was nice time. I never been to Hawai'i, but some of my friends show me Hawai'ian photos.I always feel good.
Most of the pictures I saw today are flowers. She really likes to take a pictures of flowers and she is a good photographer.
I thought she has to make a post card by her photo. It must be good.

I like "Shortbread Cookies" Big Island Candies, delicious chocolates and cookies.

the water!

I like to drink hot tea and coffee and so I really like to look for a nice cup for drinking tea.In Japan we have some good pottery and I went to Arita in Kyushu last year.I bought my cup there.It is white and blue.I like the colour.
I don't drink cold water.I used to drink cold tap water since I was a child,but now I don't drink it.When I want to drink cold water,I bought a bottle of water or I boiled water and drink.We can drink tap water,but taste is not good in a city.If you go to mountain side ,you can drink nice water.It is really good.Japanese water is mild.Where the water you drink come from?

Hawaiian Music!

I like to listen to the music. Music makes me happy. I haven't been to Hawaii, but I have some friends who learn hula dance. They invited me a show last year and I saw many people danced hula and I knew many Japanese liked to dance hula. I was not interested in Hawaii, but the Hawaiian music made me relax and the dancer always dance with nice smile, I could go to Keali'i Reichel concert in summer. I was so lucky!
In winter my friends practice very hard and waiting for the next show in spring and summer! and I'm looking forward seeing them! We are going have a big Hawaiian event in May in Osaka.

sun flowers!

In Japan there are four seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter.I watched TV and knew that a sun flower has bloomed and other flowers don't recognize that we are in winter now.Some trees still change colour and hold red leaves like autumn.I think it is just a little part of problems and it is visible.I can't see other problems right now.There are 365days in a year,and 90days should be winter.If we can't feel four seasons, what does happen next?

Luck in!

I throw soybeans in each of our room at home and throw to outdoor from the windows and doors.
It is "Setsubun" today.We do"Mamemaki" .We threw soybeans on 3rd of Feb. We says "Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!" in Japanese while we threw soybeans .It means "Demons out! and Luck coming in!" and it is the Lunar New Year's Eve, and spring has come.
Tomorrow new season will begin.

It's winter!

Today we can see the full moon .It is really cold in Japan.According to the weather report, today is the coldest day in this season but we have not cold winter in this year.Stop global warming.

Global climate change is "very likely" to have a human cause, an influential group of scientists has concluded.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said temperatures were probably going to increase by 1.8-4C (3.2-7.2F) by the end of the century.
It also projected that sea levels were most likely to rise by 28-43cm, and global warming was likely to influence the intensity of tropical storms.(by BBC 2007.2.2)

I joined MySpace.com!

I just joined MySpace.com today. I'm interested in this site and I changed some part of my pages and wrote some about myself.I like to do it.I couldn't put a music player on my page, so I'll try it again later.

If I Knew It

I found this on my friend's diary. Please read this.

"If I Knew It Would Be the Last Time"
by Norma Cornett Marek

If I knew it would be the last time
that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.

If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.


If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything right.

There will always be another day
to say our "I love you's",
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do's?"

But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget,

Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
you get to hold your loved one tight.

So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,

That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.

So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
that you love them very much and
you'll always hold them dear.

Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "thank you," or "it's okay".
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.
