28122006; Camille Claudel

Camille Claudel (1864-1943)
The Actress Isabelle Adjani (1955~ )

The Film Camille Cluadel in 1998, directed by Bruno Nuytten.

It was my first time to know her, Camille Claudel, when I was in high school.

I had an art class in 10th grade, and my teacher mentioned about Camille as the one of the most expressive artist in the late 19th century with Frida Callo from Mexico as well.

I heard about Frida Callo more often, this was because he was a painter not a sculputure like

Camille. I think painters have more possibilities to be given the fame rather than Sculptures.

Anyway, my teacher, she mentioned about this film and she recommanded to see this movie later. Coz I was not allowed to see this movie at that time at 16.

Now I am old enough to see this movie, then I downloaded it from yesterday.

I think the length of this film is long, but it was not boring to me.

It was about the life of Camille from 19 years old in around 1890s, the movie was begun with the scene which Camille digged the clays from the underground in the ealry morning.

Then the scene was moved to show the azit of her which is full of sculptures and the male model, named I for got. :)

The movie was taken her whole life except for her birth and the childhood.

Anyway,, I think the movie is such a beautiful and tragic gallery of the actress, Isabelle Adjani.

The first time when I became known about her was when I read the film megazine 'Preimere' 3years ago. From the megazine, I got some information about her, like her nationality, her filmography and her popularity in France and the Hollywood.

In her filmography in the megazine, it indicated that this movie as the important cimema to give her fame as an actress who acts very well.

As you see her, she has Definite beauty, doesn't she?

I mean she is so beautiful, pale white skin and deep blue eyes which shows the sadness and curiosity as an young girl, very dark black long hair, very thin body shape etc etc.

For me, it's hardly imagin that the movie Camille Claudel without the actress, Isabelle.

I think the movie is entirely focued on her.

However, I prefer the movie Camille Claudel to Frida which was made in the recent year,,

in around 2003? 4?

At that time, me and my best friend tried to book the movie tickets for seeing the Frida, coz my firend, she has studied the Fine art. The problem was our ages. We were just 16 or 17, but

over 18 was the youngest age to see that movie.

Anyway,, we begged to the woman on the street and she booked two tickets for us.

It was quite hard to see that movie, and also we expected to see that movie before 2 weeks.

But it was absolutely disappointed cinema to us. Coz it was full of meaningless sexual stuff

of her life and it was just very confused..and Boring.

That is why, I think Camille Claudel is much better than Frida.

Apart from the movie, I gave a lot of sympathy to Camille, I think she was a person who has so much talents as an artist, and her sculptures were feminine, but lookes very sturdy and sensative to me. - even though I am an artistic stupid-

But She was a kind of woman who easilly fell in love from sweet sayings and tempted touches.

Fortunately she was back from Rodin, but it was not easy to be out of him, precisely be out for the power from upper classes.

So I realised to be very very independent and very very very objective from that kind of feeling

which brings me the failure of my life to be lightened up.

I think I am too angry and excited to spell out all my feeling from the movie and Camille.

Anyway, I am sure the moive is the compulsory thing to see if you are the fan of Isabelle.

It was really attractive.

24122006;Christmas Eve

All's Fair.
Play House
Elm Hill

-My Christmas celebration journey-

Today is chirstmas eve, but I spent 4 hours in the workplace with
the water of detergent and sanitizer.. means Awful.
Anyway, I didn't attend the mass yesterday, so I had to attend the mass in the morning.
I dreamed something about my family and something very weird, so I woke up very early
in the morning. Then Had a breakfast with two cups of coffee and 2 apple cumbles.

But you know what, I killed the fly in my bathroom in the morning, it was such a big one.
When I saw it first, I thought it was a bee, so I was really scared to access to it to kill it.
Anyway, the fly was flying for 10 minutes infront me, I couldn't do anything to get rid of it,
but I was freezed and stood up with glaring the fly on the wall of my bathroom.

I graped the book to throw towards the fly, but I didn't heat my enemy, so I changed my mind
and picked up the wizz, which is the fabric perfume, then spray to the fly on the wall for many times.

Finally, the fly fell down to the floor and it was dead. Even though I felt guilty of my behaviour,
but I didn't have any choice apart from killing the fly.

Anyway, it was my horrible and stupid morning, then I dressed up with my uniform, then
I went to the church, but it was already late to be on time.
Anyway, I attend the chirstmas even mass, then I was just hanging around before I went to
the work at noon.

I tried to find the cafe which I really wanted to go with Noot maybe 2 weeks ago, But I didn't find it.
Just I passed many cafes, Olive, Expresso, Cafe Parisien etc.. Actually I really wanted to enter
the Olive, but it seemed to be rather croweded inside, so I kept walking to find the less
crowed cafe.

So I entered the one which is located on the way of Lower goat Lane near by Tesco in the city.

Actually I really wanted to eat a piece of cake and a cafe latte, but the server said, there was no cake today, I ate another breakfast with a fried egg, a vegetarian sausage, and baked beans plus toast. But it was just full. and not very good.

The service was not good, and the atmosphere was not very good.... so I think I will not
go there again.

Anyway, I will try to find the cafe which I really want to go regularly in Norwich.
Today is Christmas Eve.
Merry christmas all. :)

23122006: Before Sunrise

Sometimes, I really want to watch the movie which I have seen before.
Between calm and cool was the case of this.
And Before sunrise was as well.

This film was released in 1995, so I didn't see this movie in the theatre, but from the cable channel. This was because in 1995, I was only 8 who didn't know even what the movie is. :)

Anyway, I really wanted to see this movie, so I downloaded for 2 days. :(

It's about romance, but a bit fanstasique which is based on the reality in the strange place; Vienne to both protagonists; Celine (Julie Delphy) and Jessy (Ethan Hawk).
Two people in the movie met on the train and crossed the eye sight each other then made
a conversation in the lounge.
Jess wanted to be with her in the last night in Europe, so he talked to her to be out of the train which was headed for Paris.
Celine did enjoy the day and night with him.

But it's about one-day or night love between a french girl and an american boy who have never
known each other before.

In the movie, the movie focused on mainly two people in the movie; Julie and Ethan in every different street and place in vienne. They talked really a lot about the life, death, sex,
parents, and the world etc.

Personally, I like this movie as well, cause each different sequences were taken in the Vienne, and also the movie was shown as a single romantic moment often. So it's not very
boring.

But in 2004, I saw 'Before sunset' in the theatre, coz 2 years ago, I was a bit mature enough to see this kind of movie. Anyway I was full of expectation of the second one of 'Before Sunrise'.
Before sunset was begun with the interview of Jess who was given a fame as a writer in the
small book shop.. maybe in Paris - in my memory.
Then he met celine again, but at that day it was the last day of his schedule in Paris, so he
was on the last day before he boared to america - the same situation like the first one
'Before sunrise'. However, Before sunset was more like arguement which is about feminism and
sexual concepts and be more realistic.. and not so funny... I was bored during the screening.

Anyway,, I prefer the previous one, 'Before Sunrise'. But I didn't feel such a strong connection
to this movie, just it was ok for me. For me, the impact of Between calm and cool was too
big.

After all, I really enjoyed watching the movie 'Before Sunrise', it is very natural in terms of plot and cinematographic stuffs at least. :)

Meaning of Christmas

Christmas is 25 of December in every year.
The day is for celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
Also the word, Christmas is meant 'the mass for Christ'=
i.e. Christ+mass = Christmas.
Precisely, this birthday is for catholics and christians who
is dependant on Jesus Christ.

I am not sure that it is good or bad, but this birthday has been
getting bigger and bigger and many christian and catholic misso
naries from the western countries introduced asian people, african people to celebrate this day with giving us a lot of presents.

However, how about the asian religions like Buddism, Hinduism, and middle-eastern religion such as Muslim?

Personally, I think many occasions of those religions which I mentioned above, are not celebrated and enjoyed in the western culture.

Is it fare? Is it good?

But,,, I am an asian but catholic on the other hand, so I can't
be clear about my thougt about Christmas as itself.

Yet, I think the world has been Westernised in terms of Modernisation and people in the world; east to west, has had the
concepts of the westernisation which is kind of definte thing to develope their lives to be more wealthier and to be more convenient.

I am asking to myself, 'the world is going to be just one-culture dominant, indeed?'

16122006

Today, I'd like to write down my thought of human.

In my point of view, I think the human is an interesting creature.

Let me expend my first statement........

A person is made and the parents of the person give a birth to him/her.

then, the person is expected to have the experience of the family which is referred to as

'the smallest unit of the society.'

Whatever, I mean the family is whether happy or not,,

most of people have experinced the family,, right?

Then the person is sent to the school; the kindergarten, the primary school, the middle school, and the high school.. or further education or not.

During this academic process, we can see many different kinds of people.

some people set their own goals and dreams earlier than others,

so they try and try to make the dream come true,

on the other hand, there is another group which is on the average.

even though the people in this group stepped down the world and the process with many other people, I assume that they are happy as being themselves.

Otherwise, they are the 3rd group in my opinion, which is involved in neither the first nor

the average. But they are also happy and pleasure as being themselve. as being alive.

All people are valubale due to being given the birth.

Anyway,, after the academic process, some people achieve the goal, and I call them

like the upper class in the society; politicians, professors, entertainers, sports stars etc...

Or some people who are engaged in the average group, they devote themselves to the work,

and the family and so on, and they are making their own cultures and the stories as well.

Or some people who are classiefied in the third group, they don't seem to try to adjust to

the society which has been built up by others, or they seem to be the people who fail to get

involved into the society... But I believe they are equally treated in terms of happiness,

Coz they are also the human beings who can grin the smile involuntarily.

I think People SHould Live as long as they can breath.

I don't who made the term 'anti-social',

anyway people have fear of the death despite many of them are very negative to the

society.

I might assume that some people appose my opinion

; people have fear of the daeth..

coz the rate of commiting suicide is getting higer than before.

But I think the dead people from killing themselves must be very very scary and regreatble

right before they died.

That's the people what I have thought.

Whatever... Whether the days are harsh or very pleasure to live,

I think the human beings are the presences

which make their own stories, also their own cultures,

try to understand the others who are different from them,

can see the next day indeed--- it's the great pleasure and happiness to many of them---.

Anglican Church near the Forum in Norwich

Wednesday

handed in my takeaways test to the school office.

posted a christmas card, a pakage of mis-delievered items back,

and also the passport to the embassy in London.

forgot to grap my scheduler, but

I didn't realised that I lost it until the post office lady showed me the scheduler.

went to the city,

went to the TK Maxx and buy a friend of Sakura's friend.

a brown one

I am so happy to introduce a new friend to the red bear.

went to the Bakeoven to eat some pastry; vagetable bake

stepped down the city... .... means hanging around

reached near the mcdonarld

was waiting noot for nearly 30 minutes.. N.O.O.T.!!!

Finally, I met her,, :) then went to TESCO to buy a pancake, but I saw

only a small size of it, so I change my mind to buy a set of scone.. instead.

then left TESCO, and went to the Rainbow.. I figured out another cafe upstair.

looks nice. I will go there later!

Rainbow is a food shop for organic and healthy food. I think it's good for vegetarians like me.

Finally, We wanted to go to the cafe, which Noot mentioned before.

passed the NO.33 cafe.. and went along the path..

even though we lost the way of the cafe, and went back to the way we stepped down already,

but it was my first time to look around the st. George street, Elm street, outside of

the city centre.. just around there.

I saw the Teddy Bear shop, I saw my different kinds of Teddy bears in there..

the price was expensive,, most of them over 100 pounds.. anyway..

but it was happy to see them.

There was the cafe which we wanted to drink a coffee with a cake.. but

remember Here is England. they closed the cafe at 5.00. at that time it was just at around

4.50.. so.. we went out then tried to find out another coffee shop,

but most of them close at 5.00 or 5.30 something. but I saw many different individual

cafes,, like Xpresso, also figured out the Cinema city Norwich, a lot of cafe..

Finally we went to Cafe UNO and ate a cafe latte, hot chocolate, Cheesecake, Tiramissu, and

Margerita etc.

It was the treat of NOOT!

Then we left the cafe, and stopped by Sugar hut and I got a free Thai chips.. it's so

delicious!!

You know what? Noot gave me quite a lot of them.

it's a bag .. but I finished all of them just a moment ago.

all snacks and confectioanry sweets are very addictive to me.

what a horribly bad eating bit I have!

It was very great jorney you know?

finished all my units and felt something free and refresh.

Above all,, I m so happy with the friend of Sakura's Red Bear!!

What do I call him? I am considering to give a name to him!

and Thank you NOOT for being a company with me today! :)

TODAY! 10122006onsunday
Today, I'd like to introduce the musique in my mp3 player.
Actaully, I m not an expert of particular music, but I think the musique is just a thing
which sticks to me all the time whenever I go, whatever I do.
Music, as itself, is important to me anyway.

1. Miyavi and O-ostka eye
Miyavi O-ostka eye

Miyavi is on my future husbands' list. :)
He is a rocker who used to be a guitarist in the Dual-quartz with other 4 members in 1990s.
However, not he is perfroming by himself.
When I read some jornals about his music by an expert, he wrote that his music is more like
JAPANESE TRADITIONAL VISUAL ROCK like X-Japan or Larc-en-ciel.

I think his apperance is more like visual rockers as he mentioned, but his voice and music
is a different.
Even though I don't understand Japanese but the music is more about himself, and the melody
is not very shocking. He like to use the rythmn and sound of guitar technique which he enjoy
performing. (I recommand the music. We love you, and 自分革命)

O-ostka eye is a woman singer, but apart from that i don't know about her very much.
COz my sister sent me her music 'Sa-ku-ran-bo' via e-mail.
But I like the melody. It's a very funny and bright song.

2. Gwen Stefani


I like Gwen Stefani. I don't know why, but she attracts me really.
Her appreance is well it's good, but I think I like her voice and performance.
As you know I don't like a dancing music, but I think her performance is more combined with
a band music. Maybe She is still a lead singer of No Doubt.

I didn't listen to her new albumn which was realesed in this December, but I am quite
sure that she puts some quite a lot of Japanese stuff in her music and album photos etc.

Personally, I like Running and Sunday morning, also Sad for me of No doubt.
But also I like her solo music like Hollaback girl, and Harazuku girl as well.

3. Graig David
Hidden Agenda, Walking away, Rise and Fall etc.

Usually he sings very fast, I mean he read his letters of songs relatively faster with an attrative voice.
I like his music, Songs of him is more like tempation of many girls around him for a night.
but the melody and the rythm is more like craig style.. I think his music is a bit difficult
to define as a particular genre.
Anyway,, I recommand the song of him, 'You don't miss water.'

4. GreenDay
Rock-and-Ring in Germany
Special Video Clip of their performance; Armstrong, Tre-Cool, and Mike

5. Norah Jones
My favorite Jazz singer.

I like her really,, more than Gwen Stefani.. maybe :)
When I listen to her music, I am so comfortable.. really comfortable.
Seven years
The most famous song of her, Don't know why
Toes
Lond star
etc etc..

among them I like Seven years the most.
'Little girl, nothing wrong........'

Piano sound and her voice,, is the perfect combination for me.

6. Last; So-ra, Lee

I don't want to put her photo in here, instead I put the image of her studio program.

Star, the Wind Blows.

Actually, I didn't like her very much, and I didn't understand people who likes her very much.
But as time goes by I have realised that why people likes her for a long time.

Her music is not difficult but sounds like healing of your sadness and hurt mind as well.
So I strongly recommand to listen her music, especially, Star, and the Wind Blows in her 6th
regular record.

sky..! sometimes when I look up the sky, it makes me take a photo of it.
sometimes full of white clouds, sometimes just blue coloured.
English sky is very changable, most of days.. the sky is greyish, but sometimes it's too shiny
with blue and the Sun as well. and most of nights, it shows me the purplish sky with orange
coloured horizon.

What a full day.

ate too much food you know.

our party planner 'NORA TAM' organised the party and we invited Lex, and Dyton as well.

Particualry, all of us were very glad to see Dyton again.

At the last moment of the party when we say bye to Dyton and Lex, we washed and tied up the kitchen all together.

and Akiko said something cute, she said whenever she saw the blue mug of piglet it reminds her

'Dyton'

Even though Take couldn't enjoy the party, it was happy.

I'd like to put some photos of the party from Nora, Sakura, Lex, and Akiko.

04122006

Today I made something delicious.. right nora?

Anyway,, Today I'd like to put some photos of st.giles street in norwich.
This street is near by the st.gile cathedral in norwich.
Along this the street, you can see some fabric shops, restaurants, cafes and
bicycle shops as well.


You know, everywhere I have stepped, I have been looking for streets or small paths which makes me really happy and comfortable.


The St. Gile street is the first one in Norwich.


Photos about St.Gile's street.

Ninetyone cafe.. which makes me think about the image of
witches.

The fish restaurant.

The St. Gile street, I saw two women who tried to park their
cars,, so they put the coins into the meter... stuff.
unknown car, but looks posh,, isn't it?

It's the small journey of mine on last Saturday! :)

01122006

12. .DECEMBER. 12.

It's already 1st of december.. it's really amazing isn't it?

the year in the uk is going to be nearly 1st year,

you know,, everytime, when I face 1st of december, I have both feeling at the same time;

somewhat regret and somewhat achievement.

But this year brought me quite a lot of achievement.

My dad always said to me 'You are too generous to yourself, You can't see yourself with

an accurate eyes.' i.e. he worrys about me :)

Even though my lovely dady blame me coz I am too generous to myself, I am happy as being

the way of myself.

Today,, What did I do...

first of all, woke up really late again; almost over 1.00 pm

then I took a shower,

went to the kitchen to have a breakfast

..met sakura.!

then went to the travel shop

to buy a ticket for Belgium, Manchester, and London all together..

costs nearly 140 pounds

but it will be refundable with such a gratification; means traveling.

then I went to the city centre, to buy christmas card

..the book; Green eggs and ham by Dr. Seuss.!

Christmas cards

Beatles and Audrey Cards for Dolph and Arari.

.Tea for mom, naughty doll and dad.!

chocolate for my best friend.

finished my small jorney then back to the room by walk with ROSARY.

I think the thing which encourages me is the 'small events'.

Even though I am really poorly qualified to be successful in many ways,

apart from that I think I am very good at making events which makes ME happy.

Only Imagination achieves the power.

Like Ken who says the poem is not the thing which needs interpretation of meanings, but needs just feeling.

Like Sora who sings the song such as 'The wind blows.'

Like me who loves something undescribable, small local cafes, small shops, non-branded stuff, above all Imagination.

Imagination is the moto of my life, moto of my breath.
