• APPLE

  My hubby has got a new apple macbook. I’ve been stealing it off him a lot when I get the chance, the quality of the macbook is awsome. They are very pretty and stylish with their slender design and full aluminium “unibody”. I’ve got his old laptop, the sony vaio, I would rather have the apple though as it’s very carrie bradshaw I dont mind the sony though as I like my games, particully the sims as I can play that forever, but the apple OS is not so compatable with games, and the fact that they are not really made for gaming. Here’s some pictures of the beauty for you all and a more in depth review here

  

  

• bonsai tree’s

  Me and my hubby bought 2 bonsai tree’s on Sunday. I got a smaller tree and he got a bigger tree that’s 8 years old I’m not sure how old my tree is at a guess I would say 4 or 5 years old. We’ve been reading up on them and they take a lot of looking after. I think that they are really lovely to look at I’ll keep you updated on there progress and post some pictures of them as soon as I get chance.

  Here’s a picture of one of the oldest bonsai tree’s

• Japanese Language

  Date: 2009.03.10 | Category: Japan | Response: 1

  I thought that I would write a post on how i’m learning the japanese language. Well at the minute i’m learning the kanji so far at 179. I also listen to a lot of japanese music and I’ve now started watching anime in japanese with english subtitles. I must admit though I could do better maybe start trying to learn the hiragana I know a little but I would like to know them all I think that it would help a lot because I want to try and learn some easy sentences oh and not to mention the Katakana.

  I’m very interested in cooking and my hubby bought me a Japanese cook book for christmas which is in Japanese but it also has an English translation I do understand a little of it but it would be great to read it all. Manga is something I like to read and it’s a goal of mine to be able to understand and read a japanese manga.

  I dont think that in a few years I’m going to be fluent in the language I need to put more time in to it and learn lots more else when I get to japan I’ll be lost and wont know what the heck i’m doing I’m sure that my hubby does’nt want to translate everything for me either that would’nt be very fair on him I do think that it is a hard language to learn but I also believe you can achieve anything if you put your mind to it.

  My hubby Is doing really well so far (his blog) but I do feel like i’m really behind and I have a lot of catching up to do I need to be doing kanji everyday so I can catch up a little. I’m a very competitive person and when one of are friends started learning the kanji I was doing a lot more to stay ahead but he gave up on it and I slowed down again. I do think that learning it with someone else does give you motavation and that you can help each other when you need it. I’m gonna set myself and easy goal learn 200 kanji by friday.

  I’ll keep you posted on how i’m doing

• Sekirei

  Date: 2009.03.08 | Category: Anime | Response: 0

  Recently me and my hubby have been watching a new anime called Sekirei so far its been really good were up to episode 6 It reminds me a little of ???? each of the sekirei have to have a master called an ashikabi for them to fight to there true abilitys and from what I can see to stop them growing ill and dying? My favourite character so far has to be Musubi who is Minato’s sekirei who seems a bit daft but very caring of Minato so far it seems like a good laugh maybe not the most original anime on earth but is worth a watch anyway.

  Here’s an amv of the anime:)

• Death Note Films

  Date: 2009.03.05 | Category: Anime | Response: 0

  Last Saturday me and my hubby watched the first death note film with the second one being shown this Saturday which were gonna watch, I thought the first film was really good although its a bit different to the anime light seems much more evil but there is still a lot of stuff taken from the anime. Were still waiting for the second series of the anime to be released so the second film might spoil the ending a little but oh well

  Here’s both trailers to the films for you all to watch

  Movie 1
  

  Movie 2

  I’ve been learning some more kanji today got to 172. My hubby’s way ahead of me though he’s learning sentences now. I think I’m picking it up though when I see labels, posters ect I recognise quite a bit of kanji and some hiragana. Just listening to japanese music as I write this I think it helps with the learning. We have a giant poster at home with all the kanji on it and i’m marking off the one’s that I’ve done so far It’s also good to see it everyday cause you remember them better and its great motivation

  We’ve finally started to save for japan It’s gonna take a few years to save as we want to spend atleast a year there. Hopefully when we go my hubby might get a full time job and then we could live there as its been both our dream for a long time now although I’m scared stiff about getting on a plane I’ve never been on one in my life but when it comes around to it I think I’d cope. I really want to travel so it’s something I would have to get used to or It would get in the way of what I want to do in life a few other places I’d love to visit are China, America and hawaii. I can’t wait to go to Japan I love the culture the food I want to get away and experience new things meet new people you get tired of doing the same old thing over and over, I believe you have to have goals In life and hopefully I might reach some of mine and the ones I want with my hubby
