In this corner of the world is a Japanese animation movie. This animation illustrates how ordinary Japanese citizens survive in world war II era. Suzu is a girl who likes to draw.  She grew up in a loving family and she got married to a guy she didn't know to a city of Kure, a city a few hours away by a train from her hometown Hiroshima. The city of Kure had a war plant making warships, so this city was a target of American attacks. It gets pretty sad because food got scarce, had so many nights attacked, pretty sad, traumatic thing happened.. Please just watch in a theatre near you or in Netflix!! Growing up in Japan, my generation got an education of "War makes people miserable" mindset. When I was the first grade, we read how elephants in a zoo had to starve to death because zookeepers couldn't give an injection to them to euthanasia because their skin is too thick. The elephants did tricks trying to get some snacks as a reward. Zookeepers wer...

My 6th-grade son doesn't do his homework on time. He had a homework that he needs to read a book and fill in each character's background,  thoughts, deeds,  blah blah blah. My son did read the whole book but he had a hard time describing how to write each question.  I don't want to read the whole book so I googled "Walk Two Moons" "Review" "Main character's mom" "whoever's characteristics" and bingo! I found most of the stuff and let him write down. I know my son needs really help with writing skills but that's another story. Anyway, after reading some reviews, I got a picture of the story. A mom of the main character left her family because of her sufferings and her daughter started searching for her mother, accepting bitter facts, and the girl's self-finding story. The main character's dad seems like a nice person, and honestly, I know it's the fiction but I was like, "Leaving a whole family having...

I heard the red underwear is good for your health and luck, especially in the year of the monkey, which was in 2016. I bought several of them and they are worn out so I went to Macy's and got more of those today. Why is it good? That's because of the color red invigorates you in the first and second chakra, or the body part called "Tanden" (about an inch under your navel button) can feel the power of red too.  It's told that the red makes your blood flow better, and keep your body warm. This year isn't the year of the monkey,  and it's a good luck to change to the new underwear on the new year day but I couldn't do that (because I forgot.) I also read that it's good to have new underwear when you feel you have bad luck lately. That's more my motive to get new underwear today. I hope it's gonna work for me!
