友人のブログ（レイアウト）を作成中。

その友人は、草木染めを始め、それを使って布雑貨を制作している。

写真はその子が作った手ぬぐい。

やさしい色合いをで、温もりを感じます。

１つ１つ愛着がもてるやさしいデザイン。

それらを手にする人が笑顔になるような、嬉しくて、楽しいものづくり。

私もそんなモノをつくっていきたい。

大晦日、そんな心意気をもって、年越ししていこうと思う。

今日はこれからスノボです☆

雪質良いかな〜？

Rockies 3

On the final day of the Rockies tour.

We left the hotel for Vancouver at 8:45am.
Also we travelled constantly about 9 hours.

We saw a lot of nature on the Rockies tour.
There're really nice views,clear water,so many forests and the sound of wind in the trees,then I felt comfortable.

I took a lot of pictures, so I'll share pictures with my class mates and my friends.
We have precious and pleasant memories.

Anyway,I'm a little tired, so I'll swim in the pool,take a bath and take a rest early.

Tommorow,I must remember to wake up on time!!!
Don't over sleep,don't over sleep.......zzzzz......

Rockies 2

Rockies tour on the second day.
I left Valemaunt for Banff then we stopped at tourist attractions on the way to Banff.

I think the colunbia icefield is the best of all the attractions,because it's overwhelming and really nice view.



but I heard most glaciers in North America are still in retreat, as the summer melt is greater than the winter accumulation.
Then, global warming is increasing rates of the icefield's loss of valume.

I'm concerned about environmental problems, so I've joined a volunteer group in Japan called GoodDay.
I thought about conserving one's nature when I saw a icefield.

Rockies 1

Today,I left vancouver for the Rockies with my classmate.
We met at canada place at 7:15 and then got on a bus.I'm excited at the prospect of seeing Rockeis.

We travelled constantly for about 12hours, but it's not tiring for me,because we stopped at some towns and tourist attractions on the way to the Rockeies.


Forexample,we saw a waterfall after lunch.There're nice and dynamic views,so we took a lot of pictures.

Anyway, we're staying at a lodge in Valemount now.
I have the incentive to write a diary when I see myfiend's diary.

Well,I'll prepare for tommorow, so I'll take a rest.
See you.

nikujyaga

Hi, long time no see.
I'm writing about nikujyaga when I took a speech in my school.
Do you know that,of course?

I have a love of Japanese food.Today,I'll choose Nikujyaga.
It's a very popular food in Japan,usually Japanese associate the name of nikujyaga with 'ohukuro no aji'.
It means if I eat a nikujyaga then I remember a visual image of my mother.

It's familiar with Japanese.That's the cradle of the Japanese navy and high nutritional value and a well-balanced food.

How do you make a nikujyaga?
I'll introduce how to make a nikujyaga,generally its ingredients are beef or pork,potato,onion,thread konjak,carrot and so on.
First,cut a meat and vegetable with knife,and then fry up those until adjust to oil.
Next,boil it until tender after that seasoned with saysouce,sugar and mirin.

How was nikujyaga born in Japan?
Nikujyaga's origin was just an accident.
Firsttime,some Japanese chefs would like to make a beef stew, but they didn't know how to make a beef stew and they did't have a wine and a demi-glace, so they made with saysouce,sugar and mirin.
Therefore it ingredeients is similar to curry ingredients.

How is nikujyaga story?
Could you cook nikujyaga very well?

See you soon...

Best wishes!

congratulation!

タイトルと同じ意味合いだが、私の友人が結婚するらしく、今日その報告をメールで頂いた。
いや〜、いつかは結婚するだろうと仲間内で話をしていたものの、突然の報告にビックリ。でも笑みが込み上げて、なんかガッツポーズを取りたくなるくらい嬉しい報告だった。

ちなみに、ガッツポーズってあのガッツ石松がルーツって知ってた？？


そんな余談はさておき、「結婚」は、私にとってはまだピンと来ない言葉の１つだ。
ここで私の結婚観がどうとか語るつもりはさらさらないが、報告をくれた２人には何となく、「結婚」という言葉が凄くしっくりと馴染み、言葉以上の重さというか早さというか、心地よさみたいなものを備えていると思う。

この雰囲気を持つ友人がもう１組いる。その友人もそう遠くないうちに結婚するだろう。
というか、結婚して欲しい。

ときに、言葉に傷つけられ、溺れ、踊らされることもある。
ときに、言葉に支えられ、笑い、さらにそれ以上の重さ、早さ、心地よさ、意味を込めて分ち合える。

言葉の難しさを痛感しつつも、それ以上に言葉の素晴らしさに感動さえする今日この頃です。

何はともあれ、ご結婚おめでとうございます。
ささやかですが、おめでとうの想いを込めた花を一輪添えさせて頂きました。

2010 オリンピック

色々と話題の北京オリンピックですが、
２０１０年にはバンクーバーで冬季オリンピックが開催されます。ご存知ですか？？

そのためバンクーバーは建設ラッシュ。選手村や交通機関など２０１０年に向けて色々と準備が進められているようです。


そのなかのひとつ、マスコットキャラクターがめちゃくちゃ可愛い！
いやー、素晴らしい。グッズを買いたくなるくらいです。


これをデザインしたのが、バンクーバーにオフィスを構える「meomi」という方々。
ホームページも可愛さに少しシュールな感じがGoodです。

うーん、どうすればこんな答えを思いつき、実現できるのか。
バンクーバーオリンピックのマスコットキャラクターを考えよう！と思ってアイディアを出して、カタチにしても私にはこの答えを導き出せてはいないだろう。

価値観やセンスという言葉では終わらせたくはないし、単に技術の問題でもないと思う。

うーん。

そんなこんなで、また今度。

日本語。

今日は日本語でブログを更新。
英語だと書くのに倍以上時間かかるのよね。。。辞書引き引き書いているので。

そんなわけで、１５日の日曜日は父の日。
日本だけのものかと勝手に思っていたが、カナダでもあるのよ。
だからホームステイ先のRomeo父に、他のルームメイト２名と合わせて
花束とメッセージを贈りました。


日本の父には何にも贈ってないっす。。。帰るときにお土産プラスαで贈ります。


さてさて、もうバンクーバーに着いて３週間が経過しました！はやい！！
もうすぐ１ヶ月ですね。英語はまったく伸びないです。

今日は復習しようと思っていたのだが、色々やっていたらもうこんな時間。
ちなみに１６日の午前１：３０。日本はたぶん、１６日の午後１６：００くらい。

今週は英語の１０分間スピーチがあります。
スピーチ原稿をアップロードしました。英文＋画像のあとに、日本語の文章があります。
お時間あれば読んでみてください。
（ブログ上部のカテゴリーの「one second」をクリックしても開けます）


もうひと頑張りして寝ます。
では、またお会いしましょう。おやすみ。

Beach

Today I went to the Granville Island and Kitsulano beach with my friend.
We assembly near by Granville station at 2:00 pm and then leaved for Kitsulano beach.
But we're lost...We didn't knew bus stop leaved for Kitsulano beach.
We're walked around Downtown about one hour so found bus stop at last.
anyway,we're reach Kitsulano beach.


There is a snug beach by the sunny and wind.
I heard wave sound for a long time.We're drew the picture.
I spent a leisurely time at beach.


after that, We went to Granville Island.
I guessed there're big shopping mall and market.
But there aren't big that I guessed.

We saw a shopping mall and market over.Then we bought meal and ate.
I think better than Metorotown if you go shopping.


Finaly,we got on sea bus leaved for North vancouver with not meaning.
The Canada is summer time so even if at 9:00pm,bright the sky.

Well,I should doing wide range.
I can do it,maybe....perhaps so.....

See you.

Japan

Today I went to 'Sushi bar' with classmate in Richmond.
There has an atmosphere of Japan so a good old memory into my mind.
Green tea,soy sauce,seafood.....There're just about Japan.

I think that store is expencive.
Because it's a very delicious and has an atmosphere of 'Midori sushi'.
'Midori sushi' is famous and delicious 'Sushi bar' in Japan.


But I don't pay.
Because my class mate is really rich.He has so many estate and building.
He doesn't worked a long time.but he has a lot of money.
He said "I'll treat today"

I think the world is person of various.
Maybe the total of our expenses came to $300〜400. too expencive....

Finaly,he said
"I like to treated somebody" He is cool and funny.

Thank you my class mate.I enjoy to meal.

Have a nice weekend!
see you.

Thank you teacher

Hello.How are you? It's a fine day.

He was lived in Japan and pro-Japanese person.He's very interesting.

He was took charge of trial lesson when I took trial lesson.


He said
"My name is Maruko.I know Japanese famous animation [chibimaruko]-hahaha"
It's Canadianjoke!? He's funny guy.
He is taller than me and tasteful face.


anyway,I had my manuscript checked him.
He looked my manuscript and he said "difficult".
I think so.....My speech thame 'The world in one second'
It's take up 'Global enviroment'.
I got down to it so I had checked him."What do you think of this matter?"

He's worthy to teacher who's correct my manuscript to fluently at few minute.
And then he said
"Very interesting but it's deep story"
"You should talk slowly and plain"
I think so.I'll make plain pictures and show it.

I'm a trifle tired.I'm lightly rest.....
See you.

In canada

Hello,everyone.Long time no see.

Two weeks have passed since I arrived Vancouver.
Vancouver is very cold and raining almost every day.
It looks to be in the rainy season that called [tsuyu] in Japan.
I hope to change to a snug days.

anyway,I fight English every day.It's very difficult.
I hope to speak English so I want to communication a lot of people.
But I think language is not the only means of communication.

I'm going to ESL school every day.
Grramar,Vocabulary,Listening,Speaking,Pronunciation,,,,,etc...
I remenber studied English when I was went to the junior high school and high scool.

Next week,I have to speech in English at 10 minutes.
Oh,gosh! I don't speak English very well.
but I think do one's best and then take it easy.

In future,I'll take as much as possible renewal one's blog.
Have a nice day.See you.
