I was watching the movie "Open Water" and doing householdwork,such as ironing sheets and sewing buttons.
”Open　Water”　is a horror film based on the true story of an American couple who went out with a scuba group and were accidently left behind.
It was a simple movie but I was concentrating more on sewing buttons so I missed many parts.
I am going to watch it again tomorrow.

Jesus said of his purpose, “I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”[Jn. 10:10]
In the book of Matthew, Jesus says, “I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”[Mt 9:13] Mark says that Jesus came to “give his life as a ransom for many”;[Mk 10:45] Luke, that Jesus was sent to “preach the good news of the Kingdom of God”;[Lk 4:43] and John, that Jesus came so that “those who believed in him would have eternal life”.[Jn. 3:16]

I used to keep ALL the letters I had received in the past, but that's not the only thing I had a hard time getting rid of. It also took me a while to let go of these little notes that my friends and I used to pass around during classes in junior and senior high school! :P

Every time I read even one of these, I couldn't stop reading one after another. I noticed that we had some kind of a secret code or something that I, as an adult, couldn't decipher what it meant anymore.

Moving on to the next photo, which is absolutely embarrassing, but I thought you might enjoy trying to read what I wrote in my schedule book in January, 1999, when I was 14 years old. :P Apparently, I really liked MJ and Yuzu (a Japanese popular music duo), and when it comes to boys, I liked a guy called Shin-chan. lol

We were in the same orchestra club, where he played the clarinet and I played the oboe. Aww, the way I wrote things here sounds very young and hilarious to me now. lol

Here's one of my favorite songs from Yuzu. This is the very first song I heard by Yuzu and I totally fell in love with the beautiful harmony they created with their voices! I used to sing their songs with my friends all the time no matter where we were. :D

The lyrics are so touching as well. Check them out here:

(The lyrics are written in katakana, English and Japanese!)

As for the last photo, I had my belly button pierced soon after I graduated from high school. You can actually find some Purikuras my friend and I took on the day we went to a clinic to get our piercings done. I bought these little navel accessories while I was studying in the U.S. for a year...

....WHAAAAAT!?!? *0*

What in the world was I studying in the States?! xD

I've never seen this kind of flirty (? lol) accessory in Japan. Haha. I'm not sure if I'm ever going to wear these again, but they are cute so I'm not gonna throw them away just yet! :P

Just in case, you know! ;)

Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their readers with unimportant facts and statistics.
Last year a journalist had been instructed by a well-known magazine to write an article on the president's palace in a new African republic.
When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and then refused to publish it.
The article began: 'Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president's palace'.
The editor at once sent the journalist a fax instructing him to find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.
The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts,
but he took a long time to send them. Meanwhile, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine would soon go to press.
He sent the journalist two more faxes, but received no reply.
He sent yet another fax informing the journalist that if he did not reply soon he would be fired.
When the journalist again failed to reply, the editor reluctantly published the article as it had originally been written.
A week later, the editor at last received a fax from the journalist.
Not only had the poor man been arrested, but he had been sent to prison as well.
However, he had at last been allowed to send a fax in which he informed the editor
that he had been arrested while counting the 1,084 steps leading to the fifteen-foot wall which surrounded the president's palace.

The Pusan International Film Festival officially changed its identity to the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), Thursday.
The move follows a decade after the host city changed its name under new Romanization standards implemented in 2000.

“Film industry people often incorrectly assume that the place where the festival is held is different from the city, Busan,” according to a statement. “The festival committee has decided to unite all the related names of the festival, such as events and facilities, with the name of the city.”

Other changes include the Pusan Promotion Plan (PPP) being renamed the Asian Project Market (APM), and the festival’s future hub will be known as the Busan Cinema Center.

The long-awaited complex will be completed in September, in time for the 16th annual event to be held Oct. 6 to 14. The Busan Cinema Center will be the largest cultural Cineplex in Asia with four large screening venues, including a multi-functional theater and 4,000-seat outdoor screening facility.

The official website has been changed accordingly, from www.piff.org to www.biff.kr.

In addition, the APM, previously held at Haeundae, will be moved to Centum City’s Bexco, marking a move away from the popular beach area.

Organizers also unveiled this year’s official poster, based on a photo by festival regular Abbas Kiarostami, a director and photographer. The final design was by BIFF art director Choi Soon-dae.
