Hi, everyone!
Sunflower, thank you for letting us know about Jonathan’s meeting. It’s mysterious even for us to understand this confusion. How much more mysterious will be for Jonathan, a foreigner. Younger people may say ‘We have nothing to do with this,’ or ‘Sonnano kanke ne!’
Alice, I also liked romantic comedy with Meg Ryan, but recently we don’t see much of her, do we?
From TIME this week: Verbatim
‘As long as I can remember, the imperial family’s been like one big ball of stress.’…Prince Tomohito, cousin of Japan's Emperor Akihito, attributing his battle with alcoholism to the pressures of belonging to the royal family.
Probably he is the only one Imperial Family to talk so openly. He has fought against many health problems, which induced by his stress. As a matter of course, Crown Princess Masako is also suffering from the pressures of palace life. For an open Imperial Family, it is good for us to hear Family’s opinions from their own mouths.
So, good bye, and have a nice weekend!

Dear Cherry and friends,
Hello.
A few weeks ago, I found our video recorder was broken. I took it in for repair and had it fixed. Yesterday we got a phone call from the repair shop. I picked it up this evening. It was perfectly fixed.
Since we got a DVD player last year, we haven't played the video recorder. I didn't know that it was broken. But wanted to see an old tai chi videotape the other day, I found the player didn't work. Then I realized if it was broken, all of the other videotapes would become garbage. That's why I had it fixed. From tonight, I started dub videotapes to DVDs one by one. It will take some days to finish doing it.
Tomorrow, I need to go to school. And in the evening we're gonna have a welcome party for Dr. Mateo somewhere in Nagoya. I'll take the last train to come home. On Sunday morning, I have to get up early to give mother ride to Okazaki. So excuse me for skipping a comment tomorrow night.
Good night.
Have a good weekend.

Dear Cherry and friends
Good morning! I went to bed very early last night. So, now I’d like to tell the sequel to my fortune-telling story. Three of us happened to meet a fortune-teller and were foretold how our lives became. My life – the prediction was I would work as a career woman throughout my life. A was predicted that she would get marry a man from a big family and have a hard time because of a bad relation with her mother-in-law. B, who was waiting the result of entrance examination at that time, was eager to know the result beforehand. But the fortune-teller said bluntly that the passing rate was “half and half”.
He avoided telling a comment about a close future. Because it would reveal soon what he said was right or not. He was a very cunning person, wasn’t he?
Anyway, our lives were different from his prediction. I lived a life a common housewife. A formed a nuclear family in Hokkaido and B made an adoptive marriage and stayed at her own home and has kept on working outside even now.
I learned a lesson from this episode. “ Enjoy a fortune telling but don’t take it seriously.”
Cherry, please let me know what issue of TIME is that article? I’d like to read it, too.
Not only royal family members but ordinary people have a ball of stress. But stress is a kind of spice. Good spice make a dish more delicious. Let’s enjoy spicy life as well as spicy food. See you tomorrow again!
