Yesterday the otherwise hot and sultry Makaha experienced a wild winter tropical storm like nothing before. Lightening crashed and thunder roared. And the heavens poured torrents of rain saturating the thirsty landscape with a quenching soak . During the storm the wind swept through the trees, and thuds could be heard on the roof all day long as one by one the mangoes were torn from the tree in howling winds to leave a blanket of orange yellow green fruit sprawled across our front lawn. That night I slept peacefully to the soothing sound of pouring rain pounding and the next morning I awoke to a beautiful blue sky and the shining rays of sun glistening though my window.

今 東京も このような状態です

This year’s Christmas was awesome and I got lots of cool presents! But this valentine’s day, I got something from my mom that was as good as a Christmas present, A Canon T3I. The Canon T3I is an $850 camera (when you buy the 18-55mm lens kit) and it has amazing picture quality, 18 megapixels to be exact, and that helps if I am planning to make a video. The reason I wanted this camera is because I wanted to make films and videos and upload them to YouTube, the main kinds of videos I like to make are action videos. About 2 years ago, I took a liking to Special Effects which are the fake explosions, muzzle flashes, or even simple planes that actually aren’t there went filming a film, but put into the footage by using an editing program. My favourite editing/special effects program is one by Adobe called After Effects, and I use this to make my actors in my videos look like they are shooting real guns but in real life, they are just shooting simple airsoft guns (I explained what airsoft guns were in my last blog). I have only made one or two action videos right now and a couple of effect tests that I will use for future videos, but since I now have this cool new camera, I will be making lots of new action videos and uploading them to YouTube. Well anyway, back to the camera. I specifically wanted this model of the Canon Eos Series because it is the only one that has a screen that you can put out like a camcorder, which will help me when making videos. The camera wasn’t only for me because my mom got it for my video making and our picture taking, so it’s technically not just mines. I am so glad my mom got this camera because I was so lonely with just a video editor program and no camera, and now I can make the HD videos I’ve dreamed of.

今日のお昼から謎の吐き気でダウンしております。
昨日までの生理痛に被らなかったのが幸い。
程度から見てノロではないと思うけど…気持ち悪い。
なんかの食あたりかな。
予定してたやるべきことができず焦ります。

One night while I was working in the frozen foods section,stocking the shelves. I wondered why several restaurants haven’t produced a frozen entree or snack line. In particular, Hooters. I know people automatically associate Hooters with pretty girls in shorts that are a little to short. But the chicken wings are actually pretty good. When I told the guys they all laughed at me and thought it was a silly idea. If I was the CEO of Hooters Idd have done it a long time ago and made millions.

I am watching a television drama that is very interesting. It’s called a drama because there is a lot of drama in it. In the story a young poor girl is forced to marry a rich guy. The guy’s at first refuses but eventually marries the girl to appease his father. After they become husband and wife, the two fall in love with each other, but the guy’s mother doesn’t like the girl because the girl is poor. The guy also has a female best friend who is in love with him. The best friend goes crazy when she finds out he married the poor girl. She calls it love but I think the friend is just plain crazy. The mother and the best friend of the guy do everything they can to separate him from his wife, whom he loves. The make him believe all kinds of nonsense but in the end love will conquer all. It’s a good love story. I really much enjoy it.

Thank you very much for the beautiful Swarovski crystal violin music box. I’m not sure who to thank, because they lack to tell me who the sender was…person who knows that I play the violin and my birthday is February 20th… who is it?  But thank you very much again. I love it!

At the North Sea in Germany interesting phenomena can be observed. The water level rises twice a day up to 3.5 meters (12′). At this point, the shore is flooded. Just as the water comes, it flows back again. Then, on the ebb when the water reaches the lowest level, large areas on the shore are dry.

Its also possible to reach closer islands then with a horse or a Jeep. 🙂

The tides occur constantly and take together 12 hours and 24 minutes.

Michiko I am going to ask my brother to forward some pictures to show you. He is living in Bremen what is close to the North sea.
