Proposal

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 15:18:00 +0000

Cosmos has been my favorits flowers, I like to capture it under the sun.

Tonight watched a movie "Proposal". It's been a long time that I gave up to Hollywood's movie since they are often made up by computer technology.

Since Sandra's movie "While you were sleeping", "Lake House", and this "Proposal", she plays a wonderful role in such romantic comedy. Only knew she got married and gave birth to a twin, but she still maintains beautiful body shape.

Tomorrow is weekend, and I am having good mood because of this movie "Proposal".

Captain Abu Raed

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 01:06:00 +0000

Monday is always blue, I expect to change this blue following my mood to welcome the day...Monday Blue - berry ^^

This Jordanian film "Captain Abu Raed" has been the movie that I eager to watch for long. It was nominated as the Best Foreign Language Film in Academy Award 2009, and both the actor Nadim Sawalha and actress Rana Sultan perform well.

From this movie, we see the sincerity of human from simple narration while it attracts the audience to continue watching.

Everyone has dreams. This movie presents the insistence of holding on the the dream.

9-9-09

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 05:14:00 +0000

Today is 9-9-09, signals the most auspicious date for progress, what we expect? For everything we have missed, we have gained something else, and for everything we gain, we lose something else, What we are comes to ourself.

I love these words : Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit."
Must be confidence under whatever situation!

Life journey really carries too many unnecessary things

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 07:22:00 +0000

Yellow cherry tomatoes were found on the market, light fragrance as honey. I'd like to capture the fresh appearance of the fruits before I eat them up.
Without appropriate bowl and vintage tone table often make me hesitating when I was about to take photos for them.
Am I considering too much!!! :)

Every time when I meet spine orthopedist, doctor always joked me that my handbag is like Doraemon's magic bag, no matter the bag I held is D&G, Guess, TOD's...In doctor's eyes, I carried all the necessary things inside my bag which turned out to be a magic bag.

The first time I heard he described my handbag as Doraemon's magic bag, I was confused and wondering if that is the Japanese animation. I only knew there was the cartoon Doraemon, but had no idea what the animation is about.

Yesterday I changed to a little handbag, still he said it's a Doraemon bag. Perhaps it is true, inside the handbag there are house keys, car keys, cellphone, etc.; however, everything inside is still very neat, range from big bag to small bag, everything is in its place where it supposed to be. There were physiotherapists used to say my handbag is very heavy when she moved my bag. I think I should change my leather handbags to other brands like Kipling, or Balenciaga's small one.
When I travel, I like Kipling, it is lightweight and waterproof.

Life journey really carries too many unnecessary things, there are worries from near to far. Ok, let me start by reducing my bag weight. We need to lose something in order to gain something.

Dare you to request your boss for a salary increase ?

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 03:18:00 +0000

It's been very hot this year, gorgeous sun shines everyday. Hearsay the place having sunshine reduces depression disorder. I do like sunshine, especially when the sun shines into the room, feel the sun is killing bacteria.
I haven't tasted any ice cream this year yet. Last year I coughed and doctor told me ice cream would make my bronchitis sticky. Those raspberries and berries were planned to put on ice cream and eat together, till then got to eat with yoghurt.

Yesterday morning I received a very funny email from my best friend S, which the subject title is "Dare you to request your boss for a salary increase". Let's read this mail :)

Don't tell others you're going for a trip

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 03:19:00 +0000

Recently cherry price reduced, self bought a lot as well as friends gave me. I've been eating quite a lot, 1 lb a day since breakfast to dinner...:)love cherries because of their colors. My friends said many colors can be found in each of my photo. Indeed, everything appears in front of our eyes does have its color.

Yesterday heard an interesting thing, which when you have the plan of which day leaving for a trip, it's better not to show off around on twitter, facebook, and blogs, to avoid your house turns out empty or get something stolen after you come back from holiday.

The Way of the Married Couple

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 08:07:00 +0000

This drama "The Way of the Married Couple (Fuufudou) " really attracts me! This is the story about a family consisted of parents and 4 children. Every episode presents the funny story happened in their family. It looks so realistic as if it could happen in every family. Though they are not rich, they are full of energy and make audiences would like to share and participate their lives. Two years ago they had season 1, now they just finished showing season 2, and I am looking forward to watching the season 3.

Last week had pretty much amount of cheese taken by their colors appearance :) Very good taste...Capsicum red, Blue cheese, Apricot, Antipasto mix apricot, fig, blueberry.....

Watch drama, eat cheese, after that need to exercise more!!

Hi-tech weather forecasting stone.

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 16:52:00 +0000

Yesterday my good friend S emailed me another lovely picture. This is a hi-tech weather forecasting stone.

Perhaps this picture could also bring some smile to the scientists.

This friend S is an OB doctor, but she goes to learns astrology. I often made fun of her by saying that even the soulmate is chosen by astrology, and she always smiled and answered sure, she will never married to a man who gives her shamble to sort out. This is could also be hi-tech astrology.

Away from downtown

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 16:20:00 +0000

Recently have been going to the golf court more frequently, sitting too long in front of the computer makes the whole person less active, thinking functions slower and the mood is not so refresh. It is taught always that golf can make a person more concentrate, though the weather is hot, still had gone to the golf court with my pink set. Pink and light green are my most favorite colors for golf accessories. After seeing all the greens, it's so much enjoyable.

Most caddies are fashion and trendy, even with the model make-ups. Caddie career makes good earning, these are professional caddies with certification from PCA and caddie school. Many golf pros even make booking and request a certain caddie.

Find a way

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 10:30:00 +0000

On the way back home yesterday, bought a bunch of daisies, the seller was an old man with great smile. Take a photo of them, keep the memory of the beautiful smile.

Last week in the parking lot, found this bug, It moved up and down, with poor skill it was difficult for me to focus such a tiny one.

There are many focus in life that can't be seen clear. In meditation, it is said for those unarrived things, don't think in advance. and everything has two sides, the focus of many things and words of people said is not really what they appear to us. The real focus is not clear.

Orchid love

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 12:43:00 +0000

Orchid brings me lots of memories about my family, my grandfather used to grow many orchids in the garden.

Last week I took a visit at the orchid exhibition. Though I'm not that fond of orchids, I have deep love towards my family, when I see orchids they remind me of my dear family.

Mr. brain

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Fri, 29 May 2009 12:47:00 +0000

Big sunlight shined on these cosmos when I tried to take photos of it. I love those bokeh.
Tulip is one kind of my favorite flower, I shot a few photos of different color tulips where the place doesn't provide enough light.

***
This season, the best Japanese dramas to me are Abe Hiroshi's "White Spring" and KimuTaku's "Mr.Brain".
According to scientist, when people tell lie, their eyes look upward at the right side. Left part of the brain controls the vision of our right hand side eye, while right part of the brain controls the vision of our left eye.
I like the Japanese dramas with inductive plot, which the thing is not actually the same as it appears to be as what we see.

Acupuncture & physiotherapy

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Wed, 20 May 2009 07:54:00 +0000

Recently I took flower photos and I love these two :)

These 2 days had neck and shoulder pain. Checked with physiotherapy in the hospital, the physiotherapist helped me to stretch my arms and back due to sitting in front of computer too long :)

Last year I had acupuncture. Compare with the stretching now, stretching is much more painful than acupuncture. From now on, I have to do stretching exercise by myself at home. It is good to exercise from head to toes. Next time I'd like to give a try to Chinese Tuina to see if it's the same as the physiotherapy.

Seafood rice for Mother's Day

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Sun, 10 May 2009 07:15:00 +0000

Love Mom! I make seafood rice for Mother's Day :)
A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. - By Washington Irving.

Mother was marvellous above all, and worthy of honourable memory!

My dining habit :)

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 04:51:00 +0000

While I am not in a hurry, one of my dining habits is to have all food colors and dishes well arranged. Also the food has to be in various kind and each in small quantities :)
While I am in busy mode, a big dish will be full of convenient food enable to eat around, though my eyes could be focus on the work :)

These are the recent photos that I took regarding what I have eaten.

One of my colleages becomes very talkative duing our lunch, but she swallows very fast. Often during her narration of the story, she finishes her food already and continues talking, while I am only half way of my lunch. Without knowing if I paid attention listening to her, or she really eats speedy :)

KFC used to be my most favorite food when I watch TV. Afraid of being chubby, currently I firmly say no to such relaxation.
Only cracker is allowed during TV time. Fortunately I only watch 1 hour TV a day and not everyday :)

Shiny day.

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 11:58:00 +0000

After Easter, all plants seem thriving. With the having of my camera, I start to have some understanding about the plants.

My sister is really good at growing herbs and plants. There are many indoor plants in her house. Often she gave up long distant travel just for her plants, I really adore her will and her dearly love for treasuring plants' lives.She made her house like a garden, which is also my hope, but I am still way behind.

Hokkaido's fish could enable me to eat one more bowl of rice :)

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 02:13:00 +0000

Hokkaido's fish and seafood are another attractive thing to me in addition to flower and air in Hokkaido.

きびなご Kibinago is a small fish closely related to sardines and anchovies, is the member of round herring family....one of my favorites fishes with the taste of vinegar, sesame, little salt and a little sugar. As long as they are small fishes, I love them. Small silver fishes with salmon or Mentaiko 明太子 could enable me to eat one more bowl of rice :)

Tomatoes

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 03:04:00 +0000

I'm not a good cook, but I love to cook food related with tomatoes. I like tomatoes because my grandfater, my grandfather ate tomatoes everyday. All relatives and friends said grandfather's skin was tight and bright, without wrinkles, at that moment grandfater was already nearly 70 years old. Remember in that time had grown some tomatoes in yard. Grandfather would use tree branches to support and grandma made different tomato combinations with other food. Now, when see tomatoes will think of grandfather and buy some tomatoes back home.

Japanese Kiina

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 13:44:00 +0000

Today's rose has my favorite color with beautiful sunshine reflecting on it.

After watching Japanese drama Kiina, the heroine is very beautiful, and the knowledge of physics is worth learning. Heroine's skin is nearly perfect, and her style of performance is lovely. The most important is the logical storyline of physics knowledge.
I love reading Japanese comics, animation and watching drama :)

There's no fat woman in France

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 23:29:00 +0000

Last week, watched TV channel "Discovery Travel & Living", a tour program shows around Paris and said there's no fat woman in France, and French ladies dress well and walk nice.

By looking at the shoes you wear, French people know if you are native French or not.

There was a French couple lived opposite of my house. The wife's hair and nails always got set beautifully from the salon. She enjoyed going shopping with me, she always wears properly. Once both of us like a skirt suit, she told me that is her style in France. I am very much agreed since her elegant appearance is just exactly matched with that skirt suit.

Though I like Mediterranean food more than French food, I always appreciate the elegant present by the French people.

Japanese 明太子Mentaiko sardine

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 12:24:00 +0000

Deeply in love with Japanese 明太子Mentaiko sardine...very delicious...yummy, yummy!! It was so delicious that I forgot to take photos of Mentaiko sardine!!! The photos here are the combination of silver fish mixed with vegetables, and silver fish with seaweed katsuobushi (dried vonito flakes) and sesame.

First time ate Japanese Mentaiko sardine with two seafoods which are my favorite. Japanese company 株式会社テンリョウ天漁（テンリョウ）重本san introduced me Japanese Shirasu, which is the favorite among Japanese people, and I told him I like the silver fish a bit bigger as well, it was mixed together with seaweed katsuobushi (dried bonito flakes) and sesame.

The silver fish mixed with vegetables, they increase much appetite!!

Having nice conversation and good introducing of the product, I also got a big amount with the price I paid. If I have chance, I won't miss out 天漁テンリョウ delicious Mentaiko sardine and other seafood products.

The return of bougainvilleas.

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 11:21:00 +0000

I deeply love bougainvilleas for its strong power to live. The stronger light from the sun, the better it lives.

Once outside my house there lived a weak stem of bougainvilleas. I was sad for its dying life, so I let its weak stem to lay on a bigger tree stem next to it supporting by a wood stick. Afterwards it has back to life.

To me, this bougainvilleas is very precious! Often I like to have a look at this bougainvilleas since it gives great will to live and survive.

Anchovies-butter. Kebab chicken sandwiches

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 15:18:00 +0000

Today is my day off, had a little window shopping. I didn't go to buy the white shirt that I went for twice in Zara :)

The happiest thing today is that I got to eat anchovies-butter and garlic-butter :) It makes me to recall the memory that Italians barbecue anchovies with salts, taste so delicious! Often I prefer to put anchovies in olive oil with salad.
I have seen Italian raw anchovies, to me they look like sardine fishes.

Had 3 small pieces of cakes. In order to keep proper weight, I haven't had sweets for quite long time.

Had ambrosial Kebab chicken sandwiches again the other day. Pita is also my favorite food. At first I planned to have milk rice, but the restaurant didn't cook the milk rice today, so maybe next time.

The appetizer comprises sour cucumber with white carrot. Very delicious but too sour....to sour!!!

Greek & Turkish vine leave rice........

noreply@blogger.com (dream is ordinary) — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 12:12:00 +0000

The first time I had vine leave rice was at Dhahran.
Afterwards also had from Greece and Turkey. Turkish Dolma also wraps raisins.
Greek one also tastes great. Some people dislike for tasting sour which Turkish one had lemon juice included. At first I thought the original leaves taste sour.
I love Greek spicy red pepper sauce very much, which is not spicy at all while having nice smell. Mediterranean Sawima tastes delicious as well.
When I was in Dhahran, friends invited me going to Istanbul together, didn't make by that time but I still want to go, not only for its food but also for its architecture and culture.
