You can see how makeup works!

     



These pictures are from a French fashion website.
You can see the capability of makeup.
She looks very different from the original one only be changing eyeliner and hairstyle.

We have a proverb about beauty.

1 hairstyle
2 makeup
3 clothes

This means that these three things are important for beauty. Among them, the most important thing is hairstyle. I'm not sure whether this proverb is originally from Japan, but looking at these pictures, I think this make sense!

The Most Beautiful Faces of 2012






Which face do you like?


I definitely like Sophie Marseue, although fer face wasn't nominated in 2012.
I think she ages gracefully. 
Looking at some of the faces nominated, I ponder upon their beauty.

I want to become a member of the selection committee.
Their job must be fun!

Swelling






A strange swelling has come out on my neck since the end of last year. 
It has pain and is getting bigger day by day. 
If the swelling goes down after taking antibiotics, 
it has to be removed by surgery next month.
It's a bit scary to put a scalpel into the place
where is close to artery in my neck...

考える日




孤独を学べ。

大人って何だろう?歳を取れば誰だって大人になる?
そんなはずはないに決まってる。こうすれば大人になれると
書いてある本はどこにもない。
それでも世間には素晴らしい大人とそうでない人がいる。
なぜだろうか。たぶん生き方なんだろう。
大人になるために何からはじめるか。私はこう思う。
自分は何のために生まれてきたか。自分はどんな人になりたいか。
それを考えることだ。考えること、その答えを探すことには
不可欠なものがひとつある。
それは一人で考え、一人で歩き、一人で悩むことだ。
孤独を学べ。孤独を知ることは、他人を知ることだ。
人間はお金のために生きているのではない。
人生は出世したり贅沢をするのが目的ではない。
生きる真理を見つけることだ。社会の真実を見る人になることだ。
そうして何より明るくて、溌剌とした人になろうじゃないか。
明るい人って、見ていて気持ちがいいじゃないか。
今日一日、人生を考えたら、君と初めて乾杯をしようじゃないか。
酒は喜びと悲しみの友だ。
 
新成人おめでとう。
君の未来に乾杯。 
                 伊集院静





去年新聞に掲載されていたこのお祝いの言葉を、またこの日に偶然目にした。
あれかららもう一年。
早いなぁ。子供の時に想像してた大人ってもっと大人だったのに。
やばい・・・理想の大人に近づいてないぞ。
もっとしっかりしよっ。

今日の振袖はぐちょぐちょになって大変だっただろうね。

A Miserable Day




I was so excited to work with the pianist that I like to collaborate with for the first time in two years. I expected a touching reunion scene, but it was actually embarrassing rather than touching. The first thing he said to me after having not met in two years was

"Hey! Oh...... don't worry! I won't look. ^^;"

because I was changing clothes in the unlocked waiting room. (゚□゚;)...

After work, we went out for dinner. I ate some delicious raw oysters. Soon after that, I think I got food poisoning from it. I felt sick at every step. I refused to vomit in front of him, so I declined his kind offer to see me off and went back to the hotel earlier than him in a taxi by myself.


The porter of the hotel fetched a wheelchair after seeing me looking so pale.
I was handed over from the kind porter to the stupid hotel staff.
The staff was obviously a new trainee. After I checked in, he gave me a big smile and said,




"Welcome to our hotel!" (o゚▽゚)o




Me ....




"I'm Tanaka. I'll be taking you to your room." (*´∀`*)




Me ...



"There are some restaurants behind of this fountain. (*´∀`*)





Me .....



"And there is a .......... Oh, you don't need this information anymore?"




Me; No -_- ;






I had never felt so sick until then.
I know he was trying to be nice, but his smile and hospitality were really annoying me at that time. I rarely have poisoning, but I learned that it's really bad to eat raw food when I'm in poor health.




The next day, I had completely recovered. At any rate, performing with him is always fun!
