I completely forgot!

we couldn`t manage to get the tickets to the film on Friday, as well as on Saturday... so we decided not to go on Sunday. it was... awful. they said the film was destined to japanese citizens of Vladivostok. great! I`m already in the process of searching those films in the web but it`s so disgusting... 20 or 30 tickets for all those fans who came in 1 pm to stand in a queue for an hour......
I LOVE U, Ussuri cinema!

my humble opinion on Keiko Matsui

sometimes I search for good music and find nothing interesting, but sometimes a person on a forum says that this resembles that, and thus I found priceless treasures

what is good about her is that...
the percentage of her works that I love among all her tracks is so high that I am astonished
there are both songs and instrumental compositions, so that I was surprised
there are sax, shakuhachi and piano, and also voice, and percussion, and whatever - combined so beautifully that I was bewildered
there are jazz, blues, smooth, lounge, new age, ethnic, folk, electro, and many other genres
there are deep feelings in her music, expressing her love for Mother Nature, elements, phenomena, and also her concern for human beings, which is revealed in her social initiatives

p. s.
perhaps no one knows that 'twas Keiko-san's 'Tears of the Ocean' what was used as a sample in a song "вдох-выдох" of a Russian group called T9

chibi Maruko-chan

it was soooo cute!
I LOVE Hanawa-kun.
ooooh beibeee ^.^
and so on...
well it was rather serious. friendship of the kind I could only dream about.
once again I see how japanese children interact, behave, think and speak in some situations, how the school and the process of education is constructed. it`s great. I envy!

cinema cinema ciiinemaaaa

so I said to Svetlana Vitalyevna "I was invited to the Japanese films festival, may I go there at about half past 3?" and she said "are you going alone?" and I said "I think yes" and so I left the class without any problem.
now there is a problem. I have too little time to do all the homework (and the classwork I missed). no, it`s not a problem itself. it only seems to me the film I watched is not worth... no, the main problem is not this... the main is... I thought it might be not worth but I hoped for the better. but the better would be that I listened to my intuition. well. there also was the consul of Japan whom I wanted to see and listen. however even his  appearance and polite speech didn`t make me too happy. I felt the film would be disappointing and it was. hope the other ones will be better.
so, "the class where a pig was"or something like this it should be called
I can`t catch the idea... were those people hoping they wouldn`t become fond of the pig? were they thinking about what to do in the beginnig? if you`re taking care of an animal as your friend, why should you kill it in the end? if you`re going to kill it in the end, why should you take care of it as a friend? can`t just somebody see the dilemma is just a mere result of carelessness? there was no problem what to do with the pig. there was a problem what the pig is to them. think before you do something, guys... it`s the only advice.
well at the and I must say, the films 2 years ago were much better. not all of them, just 2 out of 3. the 3rd was boring, but those 2...... even last year`s films cannot be compared to those 2. I wish I could erase my memory and watch them once again.
well... no, I don`t wish this. they were soooo sad...
well... no, I do wish.
