Cupid of Love

Hello my friends!

I went to Kyoto for taking IELTS last month.
The result  of the test aside, I'll tell you about kyoto todaylol

I'd stayed there for 4 days form Jan 13 to 16.

Actually, Kyoto is the most favorite city in Japan.
Just this time Takashimaya was held a hinamatsuri festival.
 


The place I particularly wanted to visit was Jisyu Shrine at Kiyomizu Temple.
These below are Kiyomizu Temple...




Jishu Shrine is situated near the center of Kiyomizu Temple.

Japanese people have looked up and relied on Jishu Shrine as the dwelling place of god of love and matchmaking.

In front of the main building, there are two stones set about ten meters apart.

If a person walks safely from one stone to the other with closed eyes, his or her love will be realized.


This fortune-telling practice is very popular!





←It was little bit difficult to put both stones in this picture because of too many people!!!:x


This is Okuninushi no mikoto who is the god of Jishu Shrine.

His story appears in the most ancient history of Japan, Kojiki.




When a rabbit gained what it wanted by deceiving others, it was forced to peel off its skin.
Okuninushi, a sweet-temperd god, healed it and made it mend its ways.






The fortune I drew...



This is center of the Kiyomizu Temple.
I love the view from here:)









You do just like this, but...
                                                         
mmm...  little bit difficult lol


finally succeeded!




She's an ama-san.

Bye bye!!!

Hello, everyone :)

This time let's take a dictation of the lyric.

Today's song is "The Schientist" written by Coldplay.

I'll give you the fill-in-the blank question below.

Now let's listen and practice.




"The Scientist"
( 1          ) up to meet you, tell you (2                      )
You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I ( 3                )  you
Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets, and ask me your ( 4                 )
Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on a science apart

Nobody said it was (5             )
It's such a shame for us to part
(  6                 ) said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start.

I was just guessing at numbers and figures
Pulling the puzzles apart
( 7                  ) of science, science and progress
Do not speak as loud as my heart
And tell me you (  8             ) me, come back and haunt me
Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles, chasing our tails
Coming back as ( 9        ) are

(  10              ) said it was easy
Oh it's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be so hard
I'm going back to the (  11            )

       143  -Musiq Soulchild-

How many times have I called you
While you were working just to say
Left messages on your answering machine
About three or four times a day
There aren't many more ways in words that I can say
So I'll just say numerically from my heart to you - 143

So many times I've brought roses
Just to see that smile on your face
I can't remember how many e-mails I sent you
Just to tell you about my day
There aren't many more ways in words that I can say
So I'll just say numerically from my soul to you - 143
This is a part of 143. 
Can you translate this?

My Favorite Singer

My favorite singer is Yuki. You know, Yuki is a popular singer in Japan.


My favorite song of her is "Present".
At first time, I think that this is boring.
Listening again and again, I got to like it.
This song "Present" is very heartwarming song, and this song heal me when I feel sad.

Especially liive version is so fantastic!
Now, the movie was deleted from Youtube, so you can't watch this.
Too bad!
