another words express 2007

Two cute photos ; "real bomberman" and "scary kids".

I love this news : Bamboo eco Note.. I will care about "eco" more next year; I want to live simply in eco mode. I am in such a mood. I have started "OOSOJI" (big cleaning). I cleaned up my closet and threw many items away: an old cheap photo frame which I bought at London, the small hair pins which I won as a prize over 20 years ago, small emblems of junior high and high school, etc. I thought they were something important but actually I don't use them anymore. It is a nice feeling to release something old from me. Thank you old days, hello new days. :-)

These are the photos Tokyo in 1945. The U.S military guy took all of these photos.Hmm, it is only 72 years ago. Can you believe it?

The result of the word of 2007 was not interesting at all. But on the Internet worlds, people picked other words. The winner is "ASAHIRU." When ex prime minister Shinzo Abe quit his job, the Asahi wrote, "On the Internet, people use the new word "ABE-SURU (=doing like Abe)" as a verb meaning "quit job irresponsibly." However, nobody including me had ever heard such a word as "ABE-SURU." So ASAHI's trumped-up story became "flaming" and people made the word "ASAHIRU," meaning to cook up stories. What an ironic fact. The second winner is "SWEETS (laugh)." These are women who call cakes, chocolate, and such things "SWEETS" in English, not in Japanese. Guys call them "SWEETS (laugh)" with a hint of sarcasm for their putting on airs attitude and misconception. The regular usage is "she is a SWEETS woman," "she has a SWEETS brain." I think it is very interesting, the KANJI express this year is "GI" (fake) and people are so tired of having something fake and maybe nervous something smells fake. At that point, the Asahi and Sweets woman exactly smell like fakes. I like this trend.
