Just update

07/27/07 Maoka Hanabi....

Sky....空

We are under same sky, No matter where we are!

Somewhere over Japan

Somewhere over Pacific Ocean

Before N After

Went for hair salon to cut my too long hair...

Before cut, my hair was too messy like auntie...But after cut, hmm...no explaination. I never ever satisified with my haircut..ever...I dont understand why everybody after cut, they look nice but not for me...pity me..

By the way, I paid only 1995 yen with shampoo...this is very cheap. Usually cut will cost around 5000 without shampoo .. happy (^^)

Tokyo Bay's Hanabi Taikai

Today, Hamamatsucho station is a lot crowded than usual because of Hanabi. A lot of gals and guys wear Yukata, look very nice...

Hanabi, per plan, start time is 7 PM to 8 PM. So I left house at 6:30 PM and head to Takeshiba pier. I thought only me alone, it should have some space left for me to stand and watch but I was totally WRONG!! people is everywhere. Police closed Takeshiba Pier already coz it is overloaded with crowd. Then they said please go to Hinode Pier, same thing happened. At the time I reached there, fireworks is started. I got my place but it was not so good place. Anyway, if I want to get good place I may have to come since 3 or 4 PM which I chose not to do that. I have to live with what I get...

My spot is good for low level fireworks, not for big size. Yurikamome station is right there hide all amazing big size fireworks from my eyes. Even low level, it was so nice..............then 7:40 I decided to move out, and my decision was right. My next spot was so good for large sizes. I stood there until the end of fireworks. Total show time was almost 1 hour. Really impressed!

เธอร้องไห้เมื่อหน้าฝนและพบใครบางคนเมื่อหน้าหนาว

เพลงประกอบหนังสือ "เธอร้องไห้เมื่อหน้าฝนและพบใครบางคนเมื่อหน้าหนาว"

โดย "โตน โซฟา"

เสียงสายฝนปนกับเสียงของน้ำตา
เพราะว่าคนที่เธอรักมาร่ำลา
น้ำใสๆไม่เคยแห้งจากสองตา
ของเธอตั้งแต่วันนั้น
เธอคิดถึงเขาทุกวันและทุกคืน
เธอร้องไห้ไม่ว่าจะนอนหรือตอนตื่น
เมื่อไหร่วันคืนที่ร้ายๆจะพ้นไป

จนวันหนึ่งที่เขาเดินเข้ามา
เธอนั้นแทบไม่เชื่อในสายตา
เธอนั้นถามว่าเขาไปไหนมา
เขาไม่ตอบได้แต่ยิ้ม
หรือว่าภาพที่เธอเห็นมันไม่จริง
หรือว่าภาพที่เธอเห็นเป็นแค่ฝัน
ถ้าเป็นอย่างนั้นช่วยปล่อยให้เธอฝันตลอดไป

เธอร้องไห้ไปกับสายฝน
ก่อนจะพบใครบางคน
เมื่อลมหนาวพัดมา
ความหนาวสั้นพลันจางหายในอ้อมกอดนั้น
ในอ้อมกอดอบอุ่นที่คุ้นเคย
เพียงเท่านี้ก็เพียงพอ
จะทำให้คืนและวันที่เหลืออยู่มีความหมายไปตลอดกาล

สายลมหนาวกำลังโอบล้อมเธอ
และความรักของเขาก็เช่นกัน
นับจากนี้เธอจะไม่ไหวหวั่น
ไม่ว่ามันจะอย่างไร
เพราะว่าเขาจะยืนเคียงข้างเธอ
ไม่ว่ามันจะนานสักแค่ไหน
ต่อจากวันนี้เธอและเขาจะไม่จากกัน

เธอร้องไห้ไปกับสายฝน
ก่อนจะพบใครบางคน
เมื่อลมหนาวพัดมา
ความหนาวสั้นพลันจางหายในอ้อมกอดนั้น
ในอ้อมกอดอบอุ่นที่คุ้นเคย
เพียงเท่านี้ก็เพียงพอ
จะทำให้คืนและวันที่เหลืออยู่มีความหมายไปตลอดกาล

สายลมหนาวกำลังจะพัดพา
นำเอาความรักของเธอคืนมา
อีกไม่นาน อีกไม่ช้า

เธอร้องไห้ไปกับสายฝน
ก่อนจะพบใครบางคน
เมื่อลมหนาวพัดมา
ความหนาวสั้นพลันจางหายในอ้อมกอดนั้น
เธอไม่กลัวอีกแล้วกับสายฝน
และจะรักกันไปจนตราบชั่วนิจนิรันดร์
ไม่มีวัน ที่ตัวเขาและเธอจะเปลี่ยนใจ

Home!

"Home"

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home

Cooking Cooking

I didnt update this blog for a while, this is bcoz I turned to be cooking crazy. It doesn't mean that I am good at cooking though. I just found out that my rice cooker and my microwave oven can do more that just rice cooker and heat the food. I enjoyed trying to cook anyway.

My rice cooker is able to do stupid easy cake...Below was my 2nd, I modified a bit by make it to be green tea cake but the taste is ...hmmm...hard to explain, in conclusion taste was bad but it was fun to make it.

For my microwave, it can either bake or grill so I just made grilled chicken... no comment...see photos by yourself....

Mooka no Hanabi ~ Fireworks at Mooka City

Took a bus tour with colleagues to fireworks festival in Tochigi Prefecture, Mooka city.
Tochigi is around 2-3 hours from Tokyo by bus. Famous stuff in Mooka is pottery stuffs.
Today schedule:
- Blueberry picking (all you can eat 30 minutes)
- Temple
- Natsu Matsuri (Summer Festival) and waiting for Fireworks

This is my first time seeing blueberry tree, it's a bit differ from what I expected. See real photo below. I'm not good at agriculture thing so all blueberry that I picked are a bit sour compared to other. All that they said are Amai (Sweet) but why why why I got only Sour one...I'm really bad..
After learn the trick so I could eat Amai Blueberry then... eieie

Then skip to fireworks, it was nice.. Crowded but it still left some space for 7 of us to find some seat and enjoys. It was my first time seeing fireworks in Japan, it was nice...around 25,000 fireworks in this festival. It considers as big one though.....

Anyway, taking firework photo is so difficult...I gave up!

Vehicle

Talking about vehicle, my car in Thailand is same as this one, Honda Jazz 2005, Silver color. It could be a tough time for me without it. Not only for me but included couple of my colleague too :P He deserved to rest for 9 months after 2 years of service. Hopefully, someone still taking care you na, my lovely little Jazz.

For now, here in Tokyo, I also have my own vehicle. I bought it 2 months ago, after sick of walI walk walk all the time. From my apartment to go to closest supermarket (as mentioned in apartment manual), it takes 20 minutes walk. Oh boy, it's so far and I'm too lazy to walk that far every week. Here it is....Quite different between my 2 vehicles, only same thing is both of them are silver ...:)

It was the cheapest one I could find, 10000YEN. And it worth every yen I paid, it really is!!

Today I just made a long journey by this Mama Chari (slang for this kind of bicycle, coz most of housewife or mama uses it). After woke up this morning, I went to Tsukiji for Magurodon...Oishikatta...Yummy... then I rode pass Ginza, stop by at Starbucks then passed Yurakucho to go to Imperial Palace and Hibiya Park. These all cost me 0 Yen (^^)....so happy! Also I got a chance to do some exercise...good for health (and my weight, hopefully :P)
