Thank you Jo-Anne♪ Another Award!

My dear friend Jo-Anne who coincidentally lives in sister-city with my city tagged me with wonderful "Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award"   Here is the little role come along with it.

*Include the award's logo in a post or on your blog.

*Share the love, and link the person who nominated you.

*Tell seven facts about yourself.

*Nominate 7 other fabulous bloggers.

Now, my 7 facts about myself;  I looked back my label "award". I hope you don't mind I use some of them, so sorry(^^;) 

1) Wish to have had a sisiter!!!
I only had my late brother （a brother and a sister);  so I still have a strong longing for a big sister. How wonderful if I had and live close each other. I cannot resist this "sisterhood award" ♪

2) My interest in English started with pronunciation.

More than 40 years ago when I was a junior high school girl, one pretty returnee, whose father was a doctor and worked in America for one year, came into my class. She made us stunned in English class with her natural American English pronunciation (blushed our teacher beyond his capability)
She had hard time blend in with the classmates, however I got on well with her and I had privileges getting lots of tips how to use lips and tongue. Sure was the amazing, dramatic finding at the time for me. I reminisce I pestered my father to buy a tape-recorder (very rare back in those days) and practiced English with it. My sweet students have hard time to get the knack of the difference between the vowel-base Japanese and consonant-base English.

3) Very tiny woman 

I am a very tiny woman. I have problem in my pituitary gland causing the hormone disorder. A bit lack of growth hormone.

4) I have a wish to have a pet, (like a toy poodle or a bird)  but hubby is not for the idea, saying don't know which or who have a longevity. I am giving in to it (*^_^*)

5) I have a sweet tooth,  If I don't have a chocolate or a cake even for 2days, I'll go half crazy, haha.

6) Kind of a lonely type, I always wish to have a company with me.

7) For the last, Love hubby very much and feel dependeing on him.

I think I will make this precious award my last award;

    I will put this sign at the bottom of my awards in my side-bar.

Anyway, I have been thinking about the award thing if I have a chance to have another one and I really think you are all so deserving of all of the awards. I feel like I can't choose any one blogger to receive one from me. I ended up decided that my blog will now be award free.  I wish you all to understand me.

I truly think that every single one of your blogs is award worthy!

Tell me about yourself Award

My lovely young blog friend in England who has lovely bunny "Yeti" tagged me with this award about a week ago (So sorry my belated post).

In her blog Through Rose's Eyes, she introduce us her life with her bunny.  Please take a minutes and stop by her blog!!!

 

             To accept this award she said,

Let everyone else know about the wonderful person that nominated you and thank them from the bottom of your heart;    Write 7 random facts about yourself that other people may not know.   Award 15 other blogs with this award;

I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce you about me,

especially to my new followers. I'll paste 3 things about me from the former award time, so my old friends please skip reading the first three.......

(1) Very tiny woman (140cm)

I am a very tiny woman whom you'll be surprised to see in person. I got a bit traumatic memory that I used to get teased about my height from mischievous boys when child. Haha, I was always first place in line when we lined up while school girl.

(2) My first interst in English
More than 40 years ago when I was a junior high school girl, one pretty returnee, whose father was a doctor and worked in America for one year, came into my class. She made us stunned in English class with her natural American English pronunciation (blushed our teacher beyond his capability)
She had hard time blend in with the classmates, however I got on well with her and I had privileges getting lots of tips how to use lips and tongue. Sure was the amazing, dramatic finding at the time for me. I reminisce I pestered my father to buy a tape-recorder (very rare back in those days) and practiced English with it. My sweet students have hard time to get the knack of the difference between the vowel-base Japanese and consonant-base English.

(3) Only food I don't care is cheese
Somehow I cannot take cheese because of the smell it has. It is the only food I don't care. I had quite a disadvantage when I traveled Italy. My friend looked enjoying pretty much to have the real Italian lasagna....

(4) My matchmaker is our next-door neighbor.

My matchmaker who is about 70years old told about my hubby "bank clerk"(retired last year) living next door to her and also living alone single to my late mother.   We married in four months after the arranged meeting,    Haha, I thought he had an earnest character.

(5) Not a sports type

I am NOT good at any sports and don't do much physical things, except little streching and carry things (hubby cann't carry things because of his handicap)

 

(6) Attracted by the beautiful arts and pictures through blogs

Now, my husband is worrying about if I might seriously try hard to leran how to take pictures, because he knows I can easily obsessed with things. Haha, that is only my dream.

(7) I have a wish to have a pet, (like a toy poodle or a bird) but hubby is not for the idea, saying don't know which or who have a longevity. I am giving in to it (*^_^*)

I really am sorry let you read long post, now to tag this award;

I think I would LOVE to read every one of my friends story, do you think it is OK if I let this award to all of my followers who wishes it.

Wow, Sunshine Award♪

Sun Shine Award

My sweetest friend thisisme has tagged me with this gorgeous Award, which I think is very timely for this season and how wonderful to have the horror from her. Please pay her marvelous blog a visit. I am sure you will enjoy her inspiring blog, talent and kindness.  I really appreciate you for this award thisisme.

Now I need to write something about me. An American actress "Angela Lansbury" is the only person I wrote a fan letter (Haha, not even Japanese) and she sent me her picture with autograph. I was SO overjoyed seeing my name on it. I enjoyed her drama "murder she wrote" with VHS-video-deck, which was a bit expensive new product for us at that time. But bilingual function seemed like a miracle invention for me. I loved her clear standard English pronunciation along with  decent manner she has. Hubby giggled seeing how much "fast forward" and "rewind" button of video's remote control got faded.

Anyways, I owe her alot of part of my little hearing comprehension to her. She is almost as old as my father. I wish she is still doing fine now.
Well, I have to pass on this Award to 5 people. Unlike last 2 times when I graciously had awards from my friend Mina, I will go along the role. Their blogs are irresistibly marvelous and delightful.

   Mina at   Green Witch With Sprinkles
   Mariette at   MARIETTE'S BACK TO BASICS
   Barbara at   Two Birds and a B
   artistamyjo at   Art From The Heart 

   Ann  at   Ann's Imagination Creations.....because !!

Today we had hottest temperature this year in my pref. I think it hit over 30℃. Take care my friends ♪♪♪

My First Award

What a present surprise!!! My Dear friend "Mina, Green Witch with Sprinkles tagged me with this wonderful award. I feel very horned and excited. Thank you SO much Mina. Oh, I wish I had time to post this sooner, hope it is not too late.

I learned that I am supposed to share 3 things about me, and then I’ll choose 10 eclectic followers to name the award. Well, I figure that all of my dear friends deserve its versatility, so I wish any of my friend who wishes it to take this precious award. I hope this isn't wrong to do, if so please let me know.
