an invader

There are many insects in summer.
夏は虫が多いね。

There is a mantis on the celling of my room now.
今、自室の天井にカマキリが止まってる。

I might be eaten by it in next morning !?
朝には食べられちゃってるかも!?

HANABI





日本の夏の風物詩、花火。日本人は花火を見ると「た~まや~」と叫ぶ習慣があるけど、何故「たまや」なのかは、あまり知られていないような気がする。私は今さっき知った。Wikipediaで。どうやら江戸の人気の花火業者が玉屋だったらしく、称賛の意も含んで江戸の人が叫んでいた名残らしい。ちなみに老舗は鍵屋。今さら「か~ぎや~」なんて叫べないなー。

HANABI, fireworks, are a feature of summer in Japan. It's customary for Japanese to shout 'Ta~MaYa~' in looking at HANABI. But I guess that the reason why do we say "Tamaya". isn't popular. I knew it just now. On Wikipedia. Somehow it seems that popular fireworks maker in the Edo era was Tamaya and that shout including praise from the Edo people have remained. By the way, the oldest fireworks maker is Kagiya. I can't shout 'Ka~GiYa~' after such a long time.

次々打ち上がる花火は、花束みたいだった。

As HANABI were launched one after another, it looked like a bouquet.

new method of learning English

I like to listen great presentations of TED talks recently. I appreciate TED sponsors. and now, I got "TED subtitle", an iPhone application. This app is very very useful for learning other languages. I have enjoyable learning time. It's important to get interesting English for me. I often was troubled by learning English. So, my English skill is stagnant. It's hard to continue learning English everyday. But I want to talk variety people and know great idea quickly.Therefore I must get English skill to speak frequently. I'll put this app in my life. Although I say, it is basic method. It's only to listen and write favorite presentation. That's instructive for me. I'd like to continue this method.


In addition, I start to post " one sentence a day" on Eit8, my facebook page.

KUMO






It was the morning before last in the all clear sky, and I discovered a spider.h
The spider ran away into a pipe then.

一昨日の朝、雲ひとつない空で、クモを発見。
でもクモはパイプの中へ逃亡。









Incidentally, the clouds and a spider are same sound in Japanese.
Both call it "KUMO".

ちなみに雲とクモは日本語で同じ音です。
両方とも「くも」と呼びます。


Well, this post was a stale joke.
"There is not the clouds but there is a spider."
"There is not KUMO but there is KUMO."

そう、今回の記事は陳腐なジョークでした。
「雲はないのにクモがいる。」
「KUMOはないのにKUMOがいる。」


Thank you.

お粗末様でした。

Care of accessories




I cared of accessories.

アクセサリーのお手入れをしました。







Jingle jingle.
When old sister's and my accessories gather, it's somewhat fun.  

じゃらじゃら。
姉と私のアクセサリー、集まるとなんだか楽しい。









The metal part of darkish accessories become shiny if you soak them in a neutral detergent with water lightly.
The heavy dirt becomes smooth if you rub it kindly.
Try it.

くすんだアクセサリーの金属部は水を加えた中性洗剤に軽く浸けただけでピカピカに。
しつこい汚れは優しくこすればツルツルに。
お試しあれ。

Alice in dancing land



I went to a reception party "Alice in dancing land" last friday night.
It's a restaurant based on a concept of "Alice in wonderland" and open at Spainzaka in Shibuya tomorrow.

There interior is imagined a part of Alice's world.
I interested in a personal space, "the hatter's secret party".

It's buffe style with the dish made Alice's world too.
There waiters dressed in a character of Alice's. Alice in my picture mixed a salad with singing.

Other conceptual restaurants like fun too.


先週の金曜の夜、「舞踏の国のアリス」のレセプションパーティにお邪魔してきました。
「不思議の国のアリス」のコンセプトレストランで明日渋谷スペイン坂にオープンします。

フロア内はアリスの世界の一部をイメージした内装です。
個人的には"帽子屋のシークレットティーパーティ"の個室ブースが気になりました。

料理もアリスの世界を表現したビュッフェスタイル。
店員さんはアリスのキャラクターになっています。写真のアリスは歌いながらサラダをかき混ぜてくれました。

他のコンセプトレストランも面白そう。
