How to progress on hula?

Yesterday, I had a hula lesson, and we talked each other 'how to progress on hula'.
All students said their own process. Mmm...everyone is great!

In my case, when I have time, I dance all songs which I learned, there are about 60 songs, but it's very helpful exercise for me.

Anyway every dancer in our class dance really nice, I could understand some of the reason....

Snowing!

It's so cold!

Nice couple!

March 3rd is Hina matsuri. It's the Festival of Dolls. Also called Girls' Day Festival, this is the day on which wishes are expressed for the future happiness of girls.
In Japanese home, we set a set of dolls called 'Ohina sama'. Each of them comes dressed in a traditional kimono similar to those of the ancient Japanese court. Of course, the dolls are completely handmade.
I've celebrated the day with these dolls and my family since I was a baby, I love them very much, I'm looking forward to seeing these dolls every year, their face is so cute and they bring me a warm feeling. Hina matsuri is my favorite event.

My mom makes a beautiful sushi called chirashi zushi, many of seafood and vegetables on sushi rice. I'll celebrate Hina matsuri while eating this chirashi zushi and drinking sake.

Ohina sama is eternal nice couple!

Be careful!

Last week and yasterday, my two friends fell dowm, they came a gutzer. They look so so so pained!
I said them 'That's too bad! you look painful" and they said 'you, too!' lol...yes! my mark of eczema herpeticum is still on my face, I have still 'little Ｇｏｒｂａｃｈｅｖ'! Be careful and take care each other.....


先週と昨日、会社のふたりの友達が転んで怪我をしてしまった。マジで超痛そう！
私は「かわいそうに～痛そう！」って言ったら、私もなんだそう！笑
そう！わたしの帯状疱疹の痕はまだ顔に残ってる。そう、チビゴルバチョフ（略してチビチョフなんだそう。笑）がまだ消えてないの。
気をつけよう！そしてお互いにお大事にしましょ。

exhibition comes

our division has a big exhibition in a year, it's security show, we have this exhibition every march , so i have to make many advertisements, brochures and catalogues, and we have to think out many design ideas for exhibition.
so it's busiest season of the year for me! but next week security show comes! i will get freedom from busiest days....
after security show i'll support world exhibition of US and Russia......

books for girls!

I talked with friends of my office about 'reading'. Which books are you reading recently? we asked each other. I love reading, but i couldn't meet a good book recently. i know the reason, i bought some books by amazon, not at bookstore.
I complained to them 'I wanna read respectable books!', then one of them said 'shall we bring our book to office, and let's make 'Library for girls', and we can read many books', it's nice idea! we decided one of cabinet as our library, and i could read a good books! when i meet a good book, i can feel so happy......

good point of hula

i talked with my parents about saturday hula concert.
they said 'hula is nice, because almost hula dancers dance while they're thinking their choreography, dress, kumu(hula teacher) and haumana(hula friends) is 'NO.1', also they respect each other.... this is like hawaiian peace, right?'
that's a good point. we love and respect our hula and other hula.

☆we hope the happiness and well-being of her

i wrote about hawaiian quilt before, then i wanna introduce the second orange quilt.
(i could'nt show the picture of just orange one before, because i have to ask her mom to use them for my blog)

her mom is our hula friend, she gave me the pictures of her 1st birthday last week.
oh-----she is cute!!!!!
of corse i met her recently, but i was surprised her growth and cuteness!

our quilt has watched for her growth for this one year, oh, i was moved about something!
anyway we hope her happiness and well-being, and our friendship is nice and beautiful! i always feel about it.

この前ハワイアンキルトについて書いたけれど、今日は2番目に作ったオレンジ色のキルトの話。
（実はあの時に、オレンジキルトは友達にブログに載せていいー？って聞く前だったから、載せられなかったの。載せていいよって言われたからお見せしちゃいます！）

このベイビーのママはフラのお友達。ベイビーの1歳のお誕生日に写真を送ってくれた。
かわいい～～！
彼女には最近も会ったけど、でもこうやって生まれたての時の写真と見比べると、その成長ぶりとかわいさにびっくりした。

プレゼントしたキルトはこの一年、彼女を見守っていたんだな～、何か感動した！
彼女の幸せと成長を願うね～。そして、また私たち、フラ友はいいな～って思っちゃった。それはホントに何かにつけていつも感じること。

hula is・・・・

i danced hula at a concert on saturday, i enjoyed very much!
our friend m chan made our hair style ( she was volunteer! mahalo~~, m chan!) , we put 10pcs of orchid flowers on hair, kumu(hula teachers) and some great musicians played music.........we danced comfortably! people around us helped us, i felt their big support.....
i think hula is friendship, helping each other, kindness, patience and many smiles, and these factor makes good dance, i felt.
saturday was valentine's day, so it was so lovely day!
kumu ( hula teacher) was satisfid with our hula, so they said 'thankful, thankful' many times, i wanna say the same word for everyone.

welcome to valentine's concert!

tomorrow we dance hula at valentine's concert! my many friends and parents will come, so i dance for them heatfully :-)
tomorrow's main dancers was couple dancers from maui, i love their dance since i saw them at first time last spring, i'm looking forward to seeing their dancce, too.
anyway welcome to valentine's concert!!!!

明日はバレンタインコンサート。友達も親も来てくれる。だから彼らのためにも精一杯心をこめて踊ろうと思う。
明日のメインダンサーはマウイ島から来たご夫婦でハラウをやっている方。去年の4月に偶然HAWAIIで行ったコンサートではじめて見て以来、すごいいいなー素敵だなーって思ってる。ホントに素敵なフラ。だからかれらのフラを見られるのも楽しみ。
おいでませ！バレンタインコンサート！！！

spring came in ice cream word!

i love icecream, specially i love strawberry icecream bar coverd chocolate. i can found this kind icecream in any convinience store and super market. they're spring limited, so i think spring came.....but i hope i can eat them all of the year!

valentine's present for dad

this year, i give my dad the 'nabe' (=pot cooking which is very popular for japanese) set. maybe he can get some chocolate from someone, so not only dad, all family love nabe, so i ordered chiken nabe set.
this chiken nabe is made by the famous chiken nabe restaulant 'kashiwa', it should be delicious, we'll eat this sunday' dinner!
how to enjoy 'kashiwa''s chiken nabe.....first we put in the chiken block,chiken mince ball and vegitables, so they'll be soft and each taste dissolved in soup, we eat chiken and vegitabels. second we put in rice and eggs, we eat chiken rice gruel, it should be yummy! it should be fabulous present!

bichon frise

i want live with this dog as my family! this dog's name is pichon frise, he came from europe. how strange and cute his cut style is! his hair is like afro, big hair and small eyes........oh, i give him many hug hug hug!

今この犬を飼いたいって思ってる。（実は半分既に妄想中）　この犬の名前はピション・フリーゼ、ヨーロッパから来たみたいね。なんて変でかわいいスタイルなの？アフロへアみたい。。。笑。そしてでっかい髪型に小さい目。かわいい！
コノコ、抱きしめたい！！！

the 3rd hawaiian quilt

me and my hula friends, we have a policy to give a hawaiian quilt bunting if someone give a birth. and then one of us gave a birth, so we sawed hawaiian quilt for her and her baby for about 6months, we sawed wholeheartedly! actually there're 4 babys in hula friends, so there're 3quilts!　(one of them has 2babys, we gave other present her second time)

the first one is yellow, the second is orange, the thrid one is blue! are they so cute and heartful present? all our handmade!

we were sawing while talking, drinking and laughing, sometimes dancing hula! so they are so memorable quilts......what color is next quilt? besides who have a baby???

aloha weekend

this weekend, i never opened my pc. i was busy, busy? well, to tell the truth, not very much.
now, sleep is most important for me, so i woke up at 12 saturday and sunday :=)
anyway, i spent aloha weekend. saturday, i went my kumu's (hula teachers) live, actually they're musician, too.
they released a cd 2years ago.
my friends who named me 'little Gorbachev' danced in the live! she was so beautiful! i thought her dance was the most excinting point in the live, the audience got drawn into a her dance and her smile. she danced 'i fell love in honolulu', she took us to honolulu!
after live, we went to the 'motsu' bbq restaurant, we talked, ate, drank and laughed, we enjoyed very very much!

and on sunday, we had hula lesson, we had exercise for valentine's concert, it was fun and smooth, at last we danced with dress, i could see the sea of kona! oh, my word was too much? yes, too much....anyway this lesson was so nice.
then after that, we went to korean towm in shinjuku, we ate korean hot tofu soup, talked and laughed!
aaaa---i had a very nice weekend! can i call it 'aloha weekend', right?

hamburg steak sandwich

today's lunch was sandwiches.
which sandwiches do you like the best? my best sandwich is egg salad or hamburg steak.
in my high school days, i brought mom's made lunch everyday, i don't know why, but my lunch was very popular. my friends who ate lunch togather in our classroom said 'natu, please give me a jigger!', then when we graduated, my mom held a sandwitch party in my house many times! because the most popular menu was hamburg steak sandwich!

so eating hamburg steak sandwich makes my school days memory even more enjoyable and memorable!

own goal /自業自得

i went dringking the night before last, yesterday i had pain on my face, oh my herpes zoster has not quite healed. so i went bed at 9, i got better, have a little more patience....i stop drinking again.
i have to take care for hula, valentine's concert, of course for the beauty!

おととい飲みに行っちゃったもんだから昨日は顔が痛くなってしまった。
まだ治ってないのに、やってしまった！という感じ。だから昨日は9時には寝てしまった。そしたらちょっとはよくなった。
辛抱辛抱。。。そう、だからもうちょっとお酒とか夜遊ぶのは我慢しよう。
フラ、バレンタインコンサートのステージのために、もちろん私の美貌のためにもお大事にしなくちゃね。

today's lunch

is this cute? it's bread with sweet corn, mayonnaise and cheese.
corn mayonnaise bread is very popular for japanese, isn't it?
around valentine's day, my favorite bakery makes many kinds of heart-shaped breads like this.
Sure! it was very delicious!

oh, yesterday i drank with my boss and friend. we went to the taiwanese restaurant in ginza, and we talked very deeply, anyway it was the my lifting the ban on drinking!


かわいいでしょ？　これはコーンマヨネーズパンの上にチーズが乗ってるもの。
コーンマヨネーズロールって日本人は大好きでしょ？
バレンタインデーの近くになると、あたしの好きなパン屋さんではハート型のパンを作ってくれる。それもいろんな種類の。
もちろん超おいしい！

あ、因みに昨日、ボスと友達と3人で飲みに行った。有楽町の台湾レストランにて。なんだか深酒とディープなトークだったわ。
というわけで飲酒解禁しました！

trip to korea

i wanna go to korea, i've not been to korea for a year, i miss korea---!
this weekend......can i go??? Maybe this's pushing my luck too far.
but i have a hula stage on valentine's day, so this weekend is good chance for me!

韓国行きたい。もう一年行ってないんだー
今週、、、行けないかしら？それはちょい無理かなー。
でも来週はバレンタインコンサートでフラ踊るからダメじゃん？今週行ければいいんだけどなぁー。

lee jung jae's fan event

昨日、イ･ジョンジェのファンミに行った！当日まで行こうかどうしようか散々迷ったけれど、やっぱり行こうと思った。ジョンジェに会いたかったから！最近芸能人でこんなにときめいた人はいない。
フラのお友達のEちゃんにお付き合い頂き、一緒に行って貰ったー。一人だとファンミなんて行く勇気もない。
よかったー、Eちゃんがいて。
当日、ジョンジェに会えるもんだから洋服も超迷って、みんなにメイルしまくっちゃった。アドバイス頂いた方、ありがとう～＾＾
結局、ジョンジェっぽい色のワンピにジョンジェっぽく革ジャンを合わせてみました～
（写真の通り。帯状疱疹は随分良くなったかな？ゴルバチョフといわれたけど？笑）

でも私たちにはフラのレッスンが6時まであって、ファンミは6時スタートだったから、ダッシュで行っても大遅刻。会場に着くとジョンジェの声が聞こえてきた。
会場に入ると、ジョンジェが何やら話している。韓国語だからまったく何言ってるかわかんないけど、ジョンジェの声！話し方！
それに、びっくりしたのが、ジョンジェ、かっこいい～、背が高くて色が白くて肌がきれいで、すっとしてる！
テレビで見るより全然かっこいい。

さて、ファンミの内容はというと。
１）ジョンジェ自身がおうちのお部屋を撮影してくれたビデオを本人が解説。
いいお部屋だったね～
ハンガン？っていうのかな？Han Liver?の川沿いの超高層マンション。白を基調としたお部屋で、広い部屋でスッキリしている感じ。観葉植物が多くて、アートっぽいポスターが額に入れられて床においてあったり。かっこいいーー！書斎には本がたくさん。
ベッドルームはダブルベッドにきれーーーいにベッドメイキングされた白のシーツとベッドカバーと。バスルームなんて、ガラス張りだったーー！キャーー！
自宅があまりにもきれいだし、ベッドはダブルだし、バスルームはガラス張りでしょ？ガールフレンドネタになる度に、ジョンジェが
笑いながら、ひとりですから～、だからーーひとりですって！って言うの。
かわいかったーーー
ファンの皆様からのファンレターもちゃんとお部屋にある。一通一通目を通しているんだそう。
自宅にはピアノもあって、それはプリティウーマンのリチャードギアみたいにピアノ弾きたくてピアノを買い、先生を雇ったんだって。
でもそのとおりには行かず、先生を首にしたらしい。笑
その後、ジョンジェはそのピアノで歌を習っているみたい。歌の先生がピアノを弾いてくれるんだって。
なんと優雅な！

２）お歌を披露。
曲名はyou　give　me　something　と尾崎のI　love　you。
本当に下手だから、下手だから、リズムを取るのがやっとだからーと本人言っていたけれど、
それでも頑張るジョンジェに拍手だよ！
ジョンジェ、頑張ったよ～
尾崎のI love youは日本語も完璧で。努力家なんだなー

３）プレゼント
ジョンジェが自分のものをサインをセットでプレゼントしてた。ひとり、初老のご夫人があたってたのだけど、
その方が舞台に上がるときにそっと何気なくエスコートして。
やさしいんだからっ

４）挨拶
ホントにありがとうって言ってたよ。わたしたちへの感謝は口では言い切れないって。自分がいい姿でいること、いい作品に出てみなさまを楽しませることって言ってた。この人、よくわかってる。

５）握手会
もうーーーー感激したわ！ひとりひとりの握手と会話の時間がきちんとある。ちゃんと目を見て、会話できるんだよーー
手もすごいきれいだった。
私は韓国語できないし、ジョンジェは日本語わかんないだろうし、片言ながら英語で話したんだよっ！
そしたら英語できちんと返って来た。感激だった～

というわけで終了しました。ホントに気分よく帰ってこれたな！またファンミしてほしいなー
何か、こうゆうのって楽しいし、モチベーションがあがる！そう思うー
胸があったかくなっちゃった。
まさか韓流スターをココまで好きになるとは！
ジョンジェの誠実さ、笑顔、かっこいいけれど素直さゆえに少し不器用っぽいようなところ、まっすぐな目、声、優しさ、オトコっぽさ、ジョンジェという人が垣間見れた、いい時間でした！
ジョンジェ、また会いたいな！ありがとう！ジョンジェ～

Gorbachev? / ゴルバチョフ?

do you remenber the face of president Gorbachev? he was the president of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
he has a blue mark on his forehead.
yesterday, i saw my friend who dance very beautiful, and she is very good friend for me, and then she called me 'little Gorbachev'! hahaha, i'falling down! i like her humor sense! i respect her, around her, people are always laughing!
of course, she worrys about me! she is very kind, maybe if i describe her as one word 'kind person'!
little Gorbachev---hahaha!

ソ連の大統領だったゴルバチョフのこと覚えてる？
彼、おでこに痣があったでしょ？
昨日、今年はじめて会う友達に会ったときのこと。彼女はほんっとに上手にフラを踊る人！面倒見がよく、美しいだけでなくおもしろく、みんなの人気者である。もちろん私の大事な友達。
その彼女がね、あたしのおでこ見て“ちびゴルバチョフ”って言ったの。笑えたよー。ほんっと面白いんだから。彼女のおもしろさにはいつも笑わせてもらってる。っていうか、そんな風になりたいよ！って言ったことある。彼女の周りはいつも笑いに包まれている。
あ、もちろん、私のこと、心配してくれましたよっ！！！オモロイ以上に優しい子でもある！
ちびゴルバチョフね～ハハハ！

jeong jae came to japan!

i woke up, and my head is very clear. jeong jae came to japan yesterday, he was interviewed on many magazines and tv, he had long meeting about today's event, then he ate shabu-shabu for dinner.
korean actors cherish their fan, i respect this point!

さっきまで眠かったけど目が覚めた。
ジョンジェが日本に来た！　多くの取材を受け、今日のファンミに向けた打合せを長い時間かけて行ない、夕食にはしゃぶしゃぶ食べたらしい。
今日ファンに会えることをすごく楽しみにしてるって。韓流スターってホントにファンを大事にするなあー、えらい！
