A Sunflower In The Eye

Look at the above picture!

Can you see the sunflower?

This is a picture of a Japanese actress’s eye.
She is multiethnic. I think that is nice.
For people who have blue eyes, is it common to have eyes like her?

An Illusion

I watched an interesting TV program the other day. I'm writing this entry to share it with people who is interested in the trick art and illusion.

Have you ever heard of "Best Illusion of the Year Contest"?

The winner of the contest in 2010 was a Japanese person.
This video is about his work, which led him to win.

He was aiming to win this year too, but he lost.

Don’t Make Me Laugh!

During the salon concert in Opera Garnier in Paris, one of the audience members who sat behind me sneezed loudly. He seemed to try to stop it, but he couldn’t and he finally started sneezing to the music, as if is was a part of the music, when the music was played loudly. That day’s program was kind of contemporary music. That’s why his sneezing convincingly.

Even though I tried to explain that situation, I couldn’t tell about it well and it must be boring for readers, but it was really interesting. I was making a desperate attempt to stop my laughing, but the person sitting next to me couldn’t control himself and kept laughing. We had completely the giggles.

After a while, he couldn’t be there and left. Afterwards, I was able to concentrate to the music. I thought these days, the quality of audience in Garnier is getting worse, especially when it is a salon concert. Sneezing is unavoidable, but clearing the throat or snoring is not acceptable. If an audience member sleep during the concert, they should sleep without snoring.

Half of the audience dressed up with a gorgeous dress exposing their back widely. On the other hand, people wearing T-shirt and sneakers sat next such dressed up people. That scene was a motley combination. This also made me laugh.

The Surprise Party That Backfired

The other day, I was to meet one of my friends. On my way to see her, I recalled that her birthday had already passed. Of course at that time I had not prepared her present yet. I managed to figure out how to make up for it. While waiting for the train, I booked a restaurant for dinner and explained to them what I wanted to do there.

After meeting my friend, we went to some galleries and really enjoyed the art works. Then I casually took her to the restaurant. When we arrived, I said, “I AM ARI. I have a reservation for dinner at eight.”

I told my name to the restaurant assistant and meant that a birthday girl is the other one.
When the waiter served a dessert plate, I said, “ta-da! Happy birthday!”

At that moment, I noticed that the dessert plate with the words “Bon Anniversaire” written, which means happy birthday, was mine, not hers. I said, “Oh..... I’m so sorry.”

I wanted to avoid this mistake so I said my name clearly at the front. I wondered why they served the birthday plate to the person who booked the restaurant, but she laughed and was surprised at my plan and seemed happy so I hope it turned out all right.

A Half Guy

When I got off the train, a guy also got off at the same station as me. At the platform, I saw something that I should haven’t seen.

Apparently, the guy whom I saw in the train was a normal man, but he wore a miniskirt, fishnet stockings and high heels. I didn’t see all his clothes in the train because it was crowded with people. He was a bit on the heavy side, so the fishnet stockings made his legs look like hams bound with strings. He might have been a transvestite. Even if he was so, I don’t understand why he wore women’s clothing on the lower half of his body only. If he wants to wear women’s clothes, I think he should wear them perfectly, not halfheartedly.


Following the last entry, I wrote about a stupid man!

A Stupid Man

I read this article on a news site a couple of weeks ago.

A man touched a girl's breast from behind her in the crowded train.
He grabbed her hand and made her touch his important part.

Geeeh, gross. -_-


After he was arrested, he admitted what he did and said, "when I touched her breast, she seemed not to reject me and my behaviour was escalated."

In the train, she grabbed his hands and said to him, "let's get off the train at the next station together." She took him to the station office, where he was arrested.

He hadn't at all suspected what she was going to do and he said to a police officer, "I thought she would take me a hotel."

That's why he followed her honestly.
The stupid pervert was truly stupid after all.
