My Girl

I watched the movie, "My Girl" which is old movie made in the first of 1990s. the story is about a girl, Vada, and a boy, Thomas J, who are elementary school studends. the girl's mother died when she was born, so she was lonely. additionally, her father is busy woking, funeral company, and new woman worker comes there and they fell in love. Vada doesn't like it, so she plays with her best friend, Thomas J. they are along with each other and spend a good time. one day, she awares she doesn't regard him as a friend but loves him. but she doesn't express this love in attitude. this story is very sweet-sour and heart-warming. but the ending surprise you and make you cry, surely i cried. I really want you to watch this movie if you wanna be healed in mental aspect.

p.s. Macaulay Culkin who are famous for "Home Alone" plays a role of Thomas J.

Shakira

Hello, everybody! Recently I listen to Shakira's songs by renting her CD in tsutaya. My friends often Shakira's songs in karaoke and I was so touched her songs, so I rented her CD, LAUNDRY SERVICE. i was moved again when i listen to the CD. Her voice is powerful and sexy!! Her native language is spanish, so the songs written in spanish is also included. My favorite songs are 'Objection(Tango)' and 'whenever wherever' because these songs are used in my dance club. the former is used in dancing Tango, the latter in samba. "Objection" is arranged in ordrer to adjust dancing, so the tempo was done slowly. I like the original version because it is very rhythmical and rapid. Surely other songs are also wonderful, if you are interested in Shakira, you should listen to her songs.

Nanjing Massacre

Do you know what the Japanese sodiers did in Nanjing during the world war two. I wanted to know what they did because I had heard the Japanese soldiers did horrible things in Nanjing but I didn't know in detail. One day, when i studied in library in this university, i found the book, "the rape of Nanking" by chance and it interested me, so i took and open it. I was soooooooo shocked. Though i knew the massacre was done there, but i did not know how it was. there are lots of pectures which copy the massacre. Unbelievale. there are many cut men's heads which was in row on the table and raped women tied to chairs. I was so shocked. the Japanese were very very very stupid!!!
present Japanese people know what was done by enemy countries in WW2 such as atomic bomb or air attackes, it is important to know them, but i think we have to know what Jap did to chinese and korean people in those days. we always insist on our damages in ww2, but, in fact, we also did cruel things. we should know about them, should'nt we?

Released From CIE

Hey hey hey, my everybody!!! I was released from CIE classes on December 8th and hella happy. i had learned 3 subjects which the candidate of exchange students had to take in CIE since the end of August. Each class had two times per a week, so extra 6 periods were added to my schedule. After that my life was changed into very busy one. I didn't have the time to eat a lunch. Can you believe it? As you know eating occupies the important part of my life. it was like a torture(torutura) for me that i could not eat food for along time because of the classes. HOWEVER, now i can eat lunch in the cafeteria and play with my friends after school or weekend!! How happy it is!! Recently i feel the freedom and happiness very much. I wanna spend happy life like now FOREVER.
