BR20: Blood Diamonds

Yesterday, I read Blood Diamonds, 紛争ダイアモンド in Japanese, in the series of Cambridge  English Readers. One day, a man, Harley Kirkpatrick, saw an article about Blood Dimamonds. A few days later, he saw a stranger entering a shop selling diamonds and that made him remember the article and then, he tries to gather in formation about this ...

My Garden

A few weeks ago, my mother planted pansies in our garden. They looks so great, so I feel very happy everytime I go out or get back to home. They will continue to make me feel good whenever I am depressed and feel tired. By the way, do you know the language of flowers? The language of a pansy is "think of me（私を思って）","memories（思い出）"or "merriment（陽気さ）".

BR19: King Arthur

Today I read King Arthur in the series of Oxford Bookworms Starter, because I have wanted to read it for a long time! In fact, it has been long discussed that King Arthur lived in the past world. I believe in King Arthur.

"Never forget King Arthur and the magic of the Round Table!"

King Arthur said so and left Lancelot, his best friends.

BR18: Drive into Danger

Today, I read Drive into Danger in the series of Oxford Bookwarm, which I have read before. Gary is a truck driver and he drives everyday in the truck.
 One day, since he had his arm broken, he couldon't drive. Fortunately, Kim, the assistant in Holidays, could be substituted, so Andy and her decided to go to destinations together. On the way, he happened to look under the truck and found certain key parcel,and then...
Hope you like it!

Lyric 3: starrrrrrr/ [Champaign]([Alexandros])

I see a light in darkness
waited for thousands years or less
光る夜の下　足が止まった 言葉を失い　ただ固まった
I feel the night is ending
time is just running out by the morning
頭の中では完璧だった
ところが外に出そうとしたときに「あっ」と気づく
 私の昔の理想はどこにもなくなった
だからもう一度性懲りもないままに立ち上がって
彷徨って途方に暮れたって　
また明日には新しい方角へ
この場所でこの乱れた時代で
傷つきながら己の歌刻んでゆく
失ってゆく失ってゆく幼いころ描いた夢
逃げ去ってゆく逃げ去ってゆく
昔の自分にとどめ差して
I see your eyes in darkness
crying for help I was so hopeless
光る誰か見て私は泣いた 己と見比べただただ泣いた
I feel the sun is rising up  and night is dying out
and I see time is running out and dime is running out
頭の中でなりだしたtrackを
一纏めにして口ずさんでいたら「あっ」と気づく
私のもとの表情はすでに死んでしまった
だからもう一度何も考えないで思い切って
泣けばいい誰より笑えばいい
押し殺したその感情さらけ出して
どこまでも私は私だから貫いて誰に何を言われようとも
彷徨って途方に暮れたってまた明日には新しい方角へ
この場所でこの乱れた時代で傷つきながら己の歌刻んでゆく
つながってゆくつながってゆく大人になり破いた夢
連なってゆく連なってゆくその続きを今生き抜いて行け
light up all the stars yeah light up all the stars yeah
light up all the stars yeah light up all the stars yeah

●Comments
This song gave me courage when I was depressed and sad because of ambiguity of my future. I started listen to [Alexandros]'s music when I was 1st grade student in high school. (In fact, their team name was [Champaign]at that time, I remember.) Their songs continue to encourage me to try something new so far,
and will do so from now on.

Lylic 2: Don't look back in anger/ Oasis

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find A better place to play
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen Will slowly fade away
So I start a revolution from my bed'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head.
Step outside, summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
And so Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say
Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows if it's night or day
But please don't put your life in the hands
Of a Rock n Roll band Who'll throw it all away
I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside 'cause summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
'Cause you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say
So Sally can wait, she knows it's too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say
So Sally can wait She knows it's too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away But don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger I heard you say At least not today

Our Flowers for Safety

Last week, my mother and I planted some pansies in the flower beds and watered them, for once I heard that strangers with bad strategies are less likely to approach  the houses with some flowers blooming. We want to continue to grow other flowering plants. If we do so, the atmosphere around our house will improve better. May everyone continue to live without any fears:)
