What's up   
Sometimes isn't it more shocking to see one picture
than read what happened on the newpapers

In that case, we would say
"A picture is worth a thousand words"





I am sure most of you know of this photo during the
Vietnam War which won the Pulitzer Prize.
I believe the girl in the photo, Phan Thi Kim Phuc is now living in Canada.

What was the fad when you were in highschool

In the 80s, it was soooooo cool to have a comb

in your back pocket and it had to be a Goodies comb, too.

Did you ever have one of these

Fad 一時的流行、～熱、流行のもの

I've changed the theme to Umaimono since I'll

be writing about food, recipes, and restaurants.

By the way, the word UMAMI can be found on

Western dictionaries.

umami [oo-mah-mee]

a strong meaty taste imparted by glutamate and certain other amino acids: often considered to be one of the basic taste sensations along with sweet, sour, bitter, and salty.

Origin:
1975–80; < Japanese: savory quality, delicious taste

So do you prefer fried (焼き）

or boiled （水）　gyoza

I love both but if I had to choose, I'd probably

go for the boiled type.

If I had to choose 選ばないといけないのであれば。。。

Do you make things on your own

Cook, bake, knit, or sew

Once in a blue moon (めったにないことですけど)

I bake.

When you've cooked or baked something,

you'd say "it's homemade bread" とか　and

when you've knit or sewn something

you'd say "it's a handmade sweater"

Are those homemade cookies

Is that a handmade sweater

手作り　homemade - お料理の場合

　　　　　　 handmade - セーターとかの場合

使い分けて下さいね

Have you ever gone to a sneak preview

My friend often gets tickets to sneak previews

and this time she invited me so I went with her.

I didn't know anything about the movie

"Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"so it

was much better than I had expected.

After watching this movie, it made me realize

that there are still many people who are in

pain due to 9/11.

Is there something you always need to carry around with you

I have dry eyes and my lips often get chapped so these are

my two must have items. You may laugh but I always have

extra stock of these two items

Hi there, yes another new category on this blog.

I'll be writing about my random thoughts.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

This is illegal It is unbearably cold today

Having been born in June and raised in warm

countries, I can't stand the cold.

I wish I could hibernate...

　Unbearable 耐えられない、我慢できないほど
