Lately,I can see beautiful hydrangeas when I get out every time.
Well,usually I hardly ever go shopping to Osaka,but I went to the mammoth mall named "Kuzuha Mall(くずはモール)" last Saturday for the first time.I have ever gotten off at the Kuzuha station,but I had never gone out the ticket wicket.


This is the west building,the main building is located next to this.It was a big surprise to me...There are a lot of various kinds of stores in this mall,and they have a wide assortment of merchandise...


By the way,although these mannequins are wearing Japanese summer kimono,I don't know why the staffs in this mall don't use the mannequins that has Japanese's faces. I think it so strange,because most of people who buy those Japanese summer kimono are Japanese.Of course I think they look better than Japanese people,but actually at least I have never seen Westerners who are wearing showy Japanese summer kimono like this.


I ate "pork cutlets with thin miso sauce(みそかつ)" at the restaurant in this mall late in the afternoon.That was a good meal.


I got this! Why did I buy this?Of course,because I love this frog! haha

The rainy season is depressing,so I don't like it.In Kyoto,the humidity is so high in summer,so I think many of people who live in Kyoto often eat ices in summer.


As you can see,I took the pic in an airplane when I went to HK in Jan,this is a tub of ice cream in the airplane food.Of course we can't buy this in Japan.


You can see a spoon is sticking in the surface of ice cream,right?I remember that it was hard to eat this, because the ice cream was frozen hard...!!So this way I had to wait for this ice cream to start melting...hmm...


This is a brown rice tea soft serve ice cream that I got when I went to the cafe named Tsujiri (都路里) at Gion. I prefer this type of ice cream,because easy to eat!haha

To change the subject,I'm gonna Gifu Prefecture(岐阜県) with my best friend "mew" in mid-Aug,we'll visit Shirakawa-go(白川郷) and more in our forthcoming trip to Hida-Takayama(飛騨高山).So I'm gathering information about there.Hida-Takayama is famous for the sarubobo charms (さるぼぼ) and hot springs (温泉).I have been to there more than a decade ago,but I didn't soak in a hot spring.Honestly I don't like hot springs,so I wouldn't try to soak in it this time again.
I'm looking forward to visiting this place!

I bought Nicholas Tse(謝霆鋒)'s CD "The Prophecy(世紀預言)" in 2001 or 2002.
Some of my friends who are Japanese Nicholas fans said,"Surprisingly,this CD melted before I notice!".So I checked up my CD that time soon,but I found nothing wrong with it.
To tell the truth,I don't like many of songs on this CD,so this CD has been listened only once by me.


Some years later...
A few days ago,I saw this CD for the first time in many years.As a result,I found out that this CD melted as my friends said!!!! I will tell you right now that this isn't dew drop!Yuck!The surface of this CD is sticky,that is so gross... I had never seen melted CD.I have no choice but to junk it.

Needless to say,I never stored this CD at locations subject to high temperatures and high humidity.I can't help thinking this is a defective product!!

I got the invitation of Kid Fresh's event "PIMPIN' AINT EASY" from AnD the other day.Of course I can't go to this event because I live in Japan,and I have not plan to go to HK for the present,so I declined the invitation to attend the event.
Well,I only glanced at this publicity pic momentarily,but I noticed about something then.Maybe it's just my imagination,but...

...Isn't he "Space Sheriff Gavan (宇宙刑事ギャバン)"???

I used to watch that TV program when I was a child,and I loved Gavan.Obviously I can't help thinking so...

To AnD staff:
I'm sorry to trouble you, but please let me know if I have to delete this pic from my page.

I have to say I tangled with the section chief in our office last Friday,so I had been depressing about the matter that day.I felt blue and I was worried about my future in my company...but I went out because I guessed I would feel down if I'm at home.I should move forward with my life.


I went to the national museum of modern art in Kyoto (京都市国立近代美術館) to see Renoir's exhibition on 15th of this month,it was a soooo good experience!!!



...Needless to say,she's not me!


This building named " Kyoto Kaikan(京都会館) " which is the concert hall,many of artists and theatrical companies give a public performance at this hall.They have two halls.This brings back memories...I remember that I used to see some concerts and live performances,such as B'z,Takashi Utsunomiya(宇都宮隆),The News Paper,Janne Da Arc at this hall!


The very big torii gate caught my eye. Many of people who are there took some pics of it...


For your information,Kyoto municipal zoo(京都市動物園) is near here,I heard that it's the second oldest zoo in Japan.I have been there when I was a child,probably...but I don't remember about that.I wanted to go to there,but I had no time,because I spent much time in the museum...


I went to Heian Jingu Shrine(平安神宮).Heian Jingu Shrine has been a well known one of Kyoto's biggest tourist attraction,so of course I saw many people visit there this day...Yes,this area is always thronged with tourists!



As I said before,these are called Temizuya(手水舎).I had ever seen the dragon's statues some times at temples which I had visited...But this time,there was the statues like this!


I heard that this is the statues of white tiger...I'm ashamed to say,I don't know why,but I thought this isn't a tiger,but bear cub when I first saw this...haha




I felt like the shrine has the commodious premises,but there aren't much to look at...

On the night,I had met with two friends of mine after all these years,enjoyed our meal and karaoke.We had a great time! I think they released my stress!!!
