Typing 2nd -3 "Movie"

My favorite movie is “Life is beautiful”. It is an Italian movie.

It’s a story in the wartime, but it is also comedy. The major themes of this movie are love of family and cruelty of the war. An Italian father and son are taken away forcibly to a concentration camp. The son feels anxious that he cannot see his mother.

The father tells a lie for son. He says, “This is a game. You will lose some points, if you cry or want to see mom. If you are a good boy, you will get points. When you get 1000 point, you are a winner.”

I was moved by the lie of the father. I think the father’s love for son is so beautiful.

Typing 2nd -2 "Music"

I often listen to music of Doji Morita(森田童子). She is a singer song writer in the Showa Era.

Her songs are so dark. I like their dark atmosphere. I also think that her songs are so dark, but I think her songs have graceful sounds. She plays the guitar, and she songs calmly as if she whispers. She has disheveled hair and always put a sunglass. I also like her words very much. I like especially “The backlight", “The sanatorium” and “Our failure”.

I am envious of the Showa Era which has been receptive her songs. I think there are few moving songs in this era. I want to live in the Showa Era whenever I listen to her music.

Arrietty’s father sprained his ankle while he looked for new dwelling place. Then, a dwarf saved him. The dwarf is Spiller. Father could go home with Spiller’s help.

Syo heard a story about dwarf from his grandmother. In fact, ancestral family saw dwarfs in the house for generations. His grandmother’s father had a furniture workman make a doll house for dwarfs. Syo was taken over the doll house from grandmother. And he gave the kitchen to Arrietty’s family. But that matter drove them into a corner, and they put forward the day of moving. In addition, Haru who is a housekeeper of the house noticed Arrietty’s house due to Syo’s action.


Arrietty said Syo not to do anything needless. Syo apologized to her gently. And he talked to her, “Your species may be ruined in the future.” Arrietty repulsed him, and said, “Ours coming generations also must survive. We aren’t threatened species.” And Syo said her, “I suffer from a heart disease. I will undergo an operation, but I think it is hopeless. So, I wanted to survive you.”

On the other hand, Haru discovered Arrietty’s house under the eaves. And she captured Arrietty’s mother. Arrietty heard her scream, and she began the search with Syo. Haru thought that other dwarfs surely live under the house, and she called workman of rattrap. Arrietty’s mother was saved by Syo and Arrietty, but Arrietty’s family had to move due to the matter.

Arrietty’s family went to forest, and they were going to see Spiller. Spiller had prepared their new dwelling place. On the way, Arrietty saw a cat. This was Syo’s pet cat. The cat brought Syo, and the cat helped Arrietty to see Syo again. Syo gave Arrrietty a cube of sugar, and he said “I want you to receive it today.”

And he said, “I think I must be alive after I saw you who live for your life. You are a part of my heart. ” He held out his hand. Arrietty held the finger, and she gave her hair ornament..

Arrietty is a dwarf girl. She lives under the floor of an old house in a suburb. Dwarfs always borrow many kinds of household utensils and food from house of human.

One day, when Arrietty was picking herbs in the garden, she was found by a boy unluckily. The boy’s name is Syo. He was suffering from heart disease, and he came the home for medical treatment. But Arrietty thought that she wasn’t seen by him.

At the night, Arrietty went “hunting” with her father. “Hunting” is “borrowing”. Their game of the day is a cube of sugar and tissues. Arrietty was excited about the first experience. They thought that the hunting was a success, but Syo stayed up, and Arrietty was seen by him again. She dropped the cube of sugar in his room on the way to home.

Next day, Arrietty was very depressed the shock that she was seen by human and the failure of hunt. Meanwhile, Syo carried the cube of sugar with a letter written “Lost article” under the eaves. After careful consideration, Arrietty went to return the cube of sugar to him alone. And she said that she wanted him to have nothing to do with dwarfs. On the way to home, she was admonished not to involve with human by her father.

Her father began to consider about moving.

I had a lot of fun yesterday.
I watched a movie with my boyfriend at a theater. We watched “The borrower Arrietty”. I was happy because I had wanted to watch the movie. I will write about the movie at next post.

We have a lunch at the Thai restaurant. I like ethnic dishes, and I especially like Thai curry very much. I ate green curry there. The seasoning was hot, but it’s very good. I enjoyed the unique taste and flavor of ethnic dishes. I regret having not taken some pictures of them.

After the lunch, we enjoyed shopping indoors preferably. It was hot summer day.

Typing 2nd -1 "Clothing"

Clothing is an important element of my life. I cannot stop buying many clothing.

I have some favorite fashion brand. They are mercibeaucoup, tsumori chisato, Ne-net and ZUCCa. They are same series, so they have similar concepts. I think that their clothing have motifs of animals. I like them, and I buy them aggressively.

I usually learn seasonal collection of the brands on Internet. I am very pleased about this season’s collection of mercibeaucoup. The concept is “Panda”. I bought a bag and a button of Panda.

I want many clothing! But actually, it is very difficult. I always think that nice clothing is expensive after all. I dream on fashion website, and first of all, I need to look for part-time job.
