These are my favorite movies lately!
The Shopaholic movie, I was so shocked at first because it was way too different from the novel! I was expecting it was supposed to be in London, I mean, taken in London, but it was actually located in NY! How could it be like that!? It should've been London surely!
So, that's why I haven't got around to watch it until recently.
I just watched it the other day and the truth is... the movie was not that bad, after all.
Becky Bloomwood doesn't exactly look like the girl I was expecting, but she was still ok, she even made a cute roll I think.
The other one, I just LOVE this movie so much! One of the reason is that Drew Barrymore is in it. The movie reminded me of Love Actually kind of. I love that kind of movies:)
Does anyone know what Asari clam is? Maybe just clam. We like to go to eat the foods that were on TV once and last weekend we went to eat these. This is the way the squid is cooked... have anyone tried these before?
Here comes the English test that I'm taking this weekend...
http://stepeiken.org/
Surely it's all around the world? I didn't know it was even in America! Is it as familiar as those like Toeic or Toefl?
I am having a hard time concentrating on this test. It seems to be much more difficult than I expected, especially tons of difficult words that I've never even seen before... some of them I can't even guess how to pronounce. I think the vocabulary is the trickiest problem for me to get over... TOO MANY complicated words!
What depresses me the most is that even the sentenses that's written in easy English, I can't even get to the correct answer.
To show you a little...
Some example questions in the textbook that I couldn't come up with the right answer.... so mad at me about this!
Choose the best answer from among the four choices for each blank.
(1) The strict diet she is on has started to ( ) on her health.
1 give 2 tell 3 catch 4 hang
The correct answer is 2.
(2) He ( ) away 20% of his salary every month.
1 put 2 entered 3 gave 4 set
The correct answer is 1.
I get so depressed when I couldn't answer these easy questions.
Of course, these easy kind of questions are only a few in the test, and most of them are much more difficult and tricky. So what am I going to do if I was lost in such easy ones!
Oh well..... wish me luck!
We went on our 5 years anniversary trip to Toba, which is about 3 hours drive.
There's a famous aquarium in Toba and we went there.
Sea otter was the cutest!!! I think I could spend all day just watching them... just so cute!
Rian had such a good time there... I think she loves aquarium. She keeps saying 'Waaa~ Ookii ne~' (Wow, it's big!!)... such cute things.
The hotel (Japanese hotel) we were staying was great. It's on top of the hill and there's a nice view from the window even though it's 3rd floor.
Dinner was gorgeous, too!
And of course, hot springs! Rian even wanted to take her bath 3 times! Is there a 2-year-old who loves hot springs so much?
Lucky for us, it was right after the public holidays so there weren't so many guests staying and we were just the only one who were in the bath! It was like our own bath!
I went to watch Knight & Day today. While I was watching that, Rian was looking around in the mall with her daddy. They spent an hour in Babyrus and another hour in the game place. This is what Shinya got at the crane game!
Just too cute for a soccer ball!
This is what we had for lunch today...
You order on the interphone above the menu whatever you want, and they serve them on the belt (where they come on). If you forget to take what you ordered, they bring them to your table later. One time, my dad-in-law got upset when somebody else took what he orderd by mistake... they didn't even realize it so that even made him mad.
Rian only eats meat balls there... she doesn't even eat the rice at all, she only ate meat ball on it:( Then there's only rice left... that makes me nuts!
And Spicy Nabe for dinner. It tastes kind of Kimuchee, very spicy but is good:D
By the way the movie was soooo good. Honestly I don't like Tom Cruise that much but I like Cameron Diaz, so I wanted to watch it anyways. She looks old now... even if she is still 38, she is still cute in some way.
I want to watch this one next! oh and The Eclipse, of course!
We went to Outback for lunch today, they serve you steak for free on your birthday if you join the members (all free), so I got my steak today! (Happy Birthday for me:D)
Shinya and Rian are also members, so they get free steak too on their birthdays.
Shinya had humburgers. I was expecting Rian to eat that too, but she only craved french fries!
We decided to be walking instead of taking subway to go to Osu where Shinya wanted to buy his new jeans. He didn't have any luck finding a good one, though... we just checked on several shops but didn't find the perfect one. Oh well... maybe he could buy one at Right-on. That's where he likes to buy his clothes anyways.
I love Osu. There are a lot of nice shops and places to eat...
There are public baths everywhere (they're like public hot springs). Isn't that crazy?
A Tapioca drink shop.
I had a Strawberry Milk Tapioca. It was good, but made me so full:( After having too much for lunch!
We spent about 3 hours there... then took train home. When we got off the train, there was some festival going on and it totally woke Rian up.
