OST. Fly Me To Polaris
lyric in Chinese:
Wo yao kong zhi wo zi ji
Bu hui rang shei kan jian wo ku qi
Zhuang zuo mo bu guan xin ni bu yuan xiang qi ni
Guai zi ji mei yong qi
Xin tong de wu fa hu xi
Zhao bu dao ni liu xia de hen ji
Yan zheng zheng de kan zhe ni que wu neng wei li
Ren ni xiao shi zai shi jie de jin tou
(Chorus)
Zhao bu dao jian qiang de li you
Zai ye gan jue bu dao ni de wen rou
Gao su wo xing kong zai na tou
Na li shi fou you jin tou
Xin tong de wu fa hu xi
Zhao bu dao zuo tian liu xia de hen ji
Yan zheng zheng de kan zhe ni que wu neng wei li
Ren ni xiao shi zai shi jie de jin tou
(Chorus)
Jiu xiang liu xing xu ge xin yuan
Rang ni zhi dao wo ai ni
In English:
I need to control myself
I shall not let others see me crying
Pretending I do not care about you
WIsh not thinking of you
Blame myself for not having courage
My heart hurts that I could not breathe
I could not find footprints that you left
Open my eyes looking at you
But I am helpless
To let you disppear from end of this world
I could not find the reason to be strong
Could no longer feel your warmth
Tell me where is the star universe
Does the place have an end
My heart hurts that I could not breathe
I could not find footprints that you left
Open my eyes looking at you
But I am helpless
To let you disppear from end of this world
I could not find the reason to be strong
Could no longer feel your warmth
Tell me where is the star universe
Does the place have an end
So I wish upon a meteor
Let you know I love you

Ryoju (The Hunting Gun)
I found this little book at 2008's Book Fair held in my town. Yes, it is little and thin in shape yet the cover attracted me most. I bet there are lots of versions for its publications around the world. And in Indonesian it called "Bedil Perburuan" with its cover depicts three Japanese Women in their lovely Kimono about thinking a man (also in kimono) in the middle of shot target.
This story tells about a narrator-poet who was being asked by his old friend to submit a poetry for that's friend magazine - The Hunter's Companion, a magazine about hunting. The narrator himself wasn't a hunter thus he recalled about a man he saw with a hunting gun in his shoudler at the foot of Amagi Mountain. It struck him about the loneliness of the hunter's back, and the silent and cold hunting gun itself in his shoulder was the symbol of emptiness felt by the hunter. So, he made his poetry based on this impression.
Two or three months later after his poetry published (in a tiny and unrecognizable space in the magazine) or even after the narrator forgot about it at all, there was a package sent to him from a man called himself Josuke Misugi - the hunter with the hunting gun he saw in his poetry.
The package consisted of three letters from three different women but in close relationship: Saiko - Josuke's secret lover who felt the guilty or sin yet still loved his first husband; Shoko - Saiko's daughter who was really shocked to find out about her mother and Josuke's love affair; and Midori - Josuke's wife who was very pretty yet unhappy and knew from the first about Josuke and Saiko's love affairs.
The novel, indeed, tells about tragic love affair with its psychological impact not merely on each persons involved but also on people surround them. This story had the setting of Post World War II ear in the middle-upper society in Ashiya, a prosperous suburban area between two developed business districts - Osaka and Kobe. It combines Inoue's observation and concern about daily lives and historical-social situation they reflect.
And, according to the hunter himself (Josuke Misugi - who previously a leader executive business but later being shoved aside from his position), the hunting gun was an inseparable part, no matter how successful or unsuccessful the public life or even the brightness of person's personal life was.

wedding birds
Last August 1, 2010, one of my cousin was getting married and instead of the long ceremonial ritual I found an interesting objects. That were wedding birds made from young coconut leaves as decorations.
Here they are:
and the last one ... accidentally they form "love" sign, aren't they?
