There are a lot of advertising flyers in the train in Japan.

They are hung from the ceiling and on the wall.

I just saw a flyer of love story movie called " P.S I love you" this week.

It says  " if you're gonna die after several months,

what are you supposed to do?"

Well, I considered it.

Now I enjoy swim, sewing, and yoga.

I guess I almost have finished my artworks of quilts , my clothes,

clayworks, and drewing works.

But I think my siwm  kind of is not completed yet,

especially about stroke of breaststroke.

So I would swim a lot as much as possible.

And I'm satisfied with  my meal.

But I would go to my favorite french restaurant  in my city

before death in several months.

Beside I would love to see ocean by an overnight trip

and stay at a hotel nestled along the  beach.

These are my wishes, I guess they're not big ones,

Whatever, I suppose my habit is always precious.

If you're gonna die after several months,

what are you supposed to do?  

This morning , I 've found a little pretty  black butterfly in the wall of my kitchen
( it's not a moth). I was just surprised to see it, because it was for the first time
to see the butterfly in my room.
I caught  it  quietly  into a little plastic bag, let it go out of the window.
Today was a  rare cool weather like early autumn.
So the air-conditioner was not used all day long.
I saw a firework display last  summer  at the amusement park,
but this August we have been having rainy days every weekend.
I wish if I could enjoy firework display in this month.
The show of Lisa's band is scheduled in October 1st at the Quatro of Shibuya, Tokyo.
I'm pretty happy to hear from her in New York City,
I look forward to see her show for the first time.  Must be excited.
 

 As it rained past a few days , very humid.

We have rainy season from June to the end of July.

There are several woods in my city,

my rooms are at the third floor of an apartment in a suburb of Tokyo.

I can see very nice view through the window, feel sky so close.

When I was drying a sheet at the balcony as usual

this early morning, a cockoo flew and sang over my head.

I've been seeing a cockoo every summer since moving to here 14 years ago.

Before I moved to here, I had never seen a cockoo.

I just pictured a cockoo is green or blue, but a gray bird.

Last year, the cockoo didn't come,

I 'm  pretty happy he came this year,

and look forward to listening to his song during this rainy season ,

There are the Disneyland and the Disneyland Sea in Tokyo Bay.

Disneyland Sea is next to Disneyland.

I've been to there with my husband last Friday.

I was very excited and very beautiful area like Europe .

I took a lot of pictures , upped them on my album.

They're into "  My Photo ".

Wish you'll enjoy it.

I just found a video of a Japanese crowded train.

Fortunataly I've never ridden on the such train.

The trains in Tokyo are  overcrowded during the morning rush hour

The point is  sometimes there is a groper who touch a part of  woman's body ,

So nowadays the car for  women only  is provided as a measure to decrease this problem.

Here is URL, just watch it.

I've been swimming at the local fitness club past four years

and can swim medley now,

I take the lessons twice a week.

There are almost the elderly ladies in the class.

they can swim a lot because they have been swimming five years or more

although they swam like a stone at  first.

In the breast stroke and free style, there are two 50's men,

I supposed they would quit in a month when they started taking the lesson

6 months ago, because most men quit easily.

But now they swim 25m well with good form as the coach taught .

I have been  worrying  about my form of butterfly past a few years,

I can swim 25m butterfly, everyone say mine is beautiful form.

But the coach says my stroke is out of kick .

The coach  points same thing since I started to take the butterfly class  three years ago,

Yesterday, I swam as usual,

There were a few people in the pool because of 1:00 PM, 

I was swimming free style and breaststroke 1000m,

then the young guy of early twenties started swmimming at the next course.

His swim impresed me because he swam 100m butterfly beautiful with turn

and medley was perfect.

I've seen many expert  race swimmers at the olympic pool last year,

but there are a few expert swimmers at the fitness club, very rare,

I just thought of asking him about butterfly,

Since he was swimming earnestly,  I just hesitated,

He was taking a break..

Me:  Excuse me...( in a low voice..)

Him: .....Yes?? ( Looks Just surprising )

Me:  Your swim is pretty nice,  do you race somewhere?

Him: Thanks( with a smile)  But I'm not so good,

He said that out of modesty.

I asked him several questions, he replyed details like a coach

and taught  about a practice way I've never heard.

He's quite a nice guy,

It was a lucky day I could have a new friend in the pool.

We have custom called White Day men send candy for women in  return of Valentaine's  Day women send chocolate for men.

Today is　the White Day of March 14th.

This week, my husband bought me  Macaron of French candy and Chocolate

on the way back to home from work.

I had the Macaron  for the first time. It tastes very good.

Change the subject,..

When I started dressmaking,  was sewing many  doll's dresses back then.

Ｉ have some Barbie dolls and upped the pictures on my album.

I don't have a lot like a collector., though.

Will up  the pictueres of Japanese Lika and Jenny Doll next time .

Here is a Barbie first commercial in !959,  Very Classic.
