Bom dia Rio!! (Good Morning Rio, in Portuguese)
Good Morning in many, many languages.
GOOD MORNING!
It is the start of a new week.
The Olympics are over, with the Paralympics beginning last week.
It was truly a beautiful opening ceremony.
Once again, these athletes who train for this once in 4 years event
Participate in the opening ceremony,
And just watching them brings a natural smile to my face...
What a beautiful moment...
【I’m gonna wear T-shirts! ((゜ω゜●))” 】
[MONDAY]
(249th day of 2016)
It is the start of a new week.A refreshing breeze passes by today,
And while the sunshine is hot during this fine day,
It makes me feel rested…May a gentle wind blow by this week…
[TUESDAY]
(250th day of 2016)
This morning, before heading out, I watched a movie for once...[ZOOLANDER 2]
(゜〇゜●)”(゜〇゜●)”
(゜〇゜●)”…
What a surprise from the very beginning…
I wonder how famous each and every actor is within this movie…
That person, and that person…I’ve at least seen each of them once, for a while now…
And when I rent out a random movie…
They are just famed actors who surprise me and make me laugh, by just being idiots doing stupid things…
Just gorgeously stupid…
I just can’t stop loving this movie.
As expected of Ben!!
And, on my way home,
I visited the dentist for a treatment, and headed home.
The evening sky today is just beautiful.
[WEDNESDAY]
(251st day of 2016)
Today is a Wednesday of rain. But my way home was met with a bright, bright, bright sun. With the dampness of the rain, it only made the heat worse.
Red bean paste sandwich ﾞ(゜О゜●)”!?
Maybe it’s some kind of relative to those in Nagoya…I didn’t know Maa-kun got us members such souvenirs.
In both Nagoya and Osaka, We only saw Akafuku (red bean paste mochi)...
I’m sure there are all kinds of delicious souvenirs…Potato keyholders/ potato pie/ potato sweet buns
An “I LOVE POTATO” T-shirt/ Hakata Jagaimon
Jaguar Yokota cards/ Potato jelly… etc…
Hey…most of them are just potato stuff!!
[THURSDAY]
(252nd day of 2016)
More than the opening ceremony of the Olympics, The opening ceremony of the Paralympics is really, really Much more outstanding and moving. What an opening ceremony. The ladies who dance with mechanical or prosthetic legs, And there was a moment when the runner with the holy flame
Fell down on his way…
The staff responded…
and helped to pass on the flame, The crowd all stood up and cheered them on,
As the runner kept running in the rain. And as the rain fell on the last runner,
Who sat in a wheelchair up the slippery slope,
The holy flame had finally ignited the Fire.
Even with failures, we have to accept them.
And with many difficulties, we must face them.
With the strength to keep on smiling.
The Fire that connects heart to heart, smile to smile.
With the Paralympics,
I hope that it will be a wonderful event...
If only they could broadcast all of the events as they do with the Olympic events…
No matter which event I look at, all the participants are amazing…
Do your best!!
[FRIDAY]
(253rd day of 2016)
The sun shines bright with a beaming light this morning,
The effect of the sunshine just by only exiting the front door…
It’s so harsh that I want to tell the sun,
“Why are you so hot!?”… aha.
The evening sky is again pretty today, and on the other side of the sky,
I can see the moon, waiting for its turn to come out.
[SATURDAY]
(254th day of 2016)
This week’s evening sky has been beautiful throughout.
Each day, the time when the sun sinks over the horizon
Comes earlier and earlier…Once more, the summer season turns over to the autumn.
The sky shows to us its new expressions.
Even when I’m busy, I do not forget to watch the sky…Good work to everyone…May the weekend be kind to you all...
.
[SUNDAY]
(255th day of 2016)
A rainy start on Sunday,
I really do hate rain when it comes on the weekdays,
But rain on Sunday isn’t that bad…
How strange of a feeling it is...
Thank you everyone for your hard work this week
(_ _ ●)゛
May everyone enjoy the new week with warmth and kindness...
May each day and hour of the week
Be filled with kindness and gentleness...
May a gentle wind… kindly blow in everyone’s heart...
It’s alright. It’s alright.
The wind has blown...
Now, live your life \(゜∇゜●)/!!
【May the world be swept with a wind of smiles… filled with kindness and warmth…】
【Once again this week… one step at a time… may today continue… onto tomorrow…】
To a new week…
Have a safe journey!!
