  After watching the movie “ Desire for Love “ about Chopin several times, I started searching more about Chopin’s life to solve some mystery parts, even though it may be impossible to find what is the real truth.  This movie ( Desire for Love ) is so thinkable, and while checking about both Chopin and George Sand ‘s bio, I’m also into George Sand and her life story.  I would never have known about her or cared about her if I didn’t get into Chopin’s bio so much. But without knowing about her, we can not know the truth.   Chopin & Liszt are the most interesting heroes for me right now .  I don’t know why, but if genius is the only reason I’m into them, then there are many different kinds of geniuses in many different subjects , so it must not be the only the reason.  It’s very curious , there are several speculations about Chopin’s love, some information tells like as if it’s the fact that for Chopin, George Sand was always his love of his life, w...

We have been curious to see the movie “ Desire for Love“ about Chopin and finally we watched it last weekend. This story is about the relationship between Frederic Chopin and George Sand and her children. The title “ Desire for love “ exactly fits with the story. This is not a full bio about Chopin’s life and his music, ( although the soundtrack is absolutely awesome, with masterful performances of Chopin’s music by top pianists ), but mainly focuses on Chopin’s life after he met George Sand and their relationship. But Ray and I both actually really enjoyed it and watched it three times already. It’s impossible to show all the details of Chopin’s life, and even his relationship with George Sand within 2 hours. For casting, we both thought all the casts they used for this movie was good with great acting, except for Franz Liszt. And this is my only Con for this movie is that the actor they used to play Franz Liszt did not fit him at all. IMO, his image doesn’t fit with...

  Happiness.     There is a famous quote which said     “ Happiness is within “ by …Martin Yan “  Happiness is a choice “ by Barry Kaufmann   I agree with these quotes.   I can be happy without doing anything, and getting happiness from my imagination.    And there is also happiness we can naturally feel when doing something we love. Surrounded by all my favorites makes me extremely happy.     One of them is listening to the beautiful sounds of music.    For this month so far, I’m crazy about another Frederic Chopin’s music again !      There are several new music I discovered from compositions which Chopin created when he was a teenager. Especially, this CD, ( the image below)    “ Chopin Complete Piano Music * Volume 15 “ with pianist Idil Biret ,  and the “ Slovak State Philharmonic Orchestra with conductor Robert Schakowsky ".      These are Chopin co...

The combination of real cinnamon & raw honey , this formula works amazing for Stomach flu ! It was my husband Ray’s birthday, however he had to stay in bed from illness which he might have caught at his work place. Seems like there are so many people who are having flu at his work place.  We were already celebrating his birthday, a few days before his birthday because of his work schedule, with some presents, eating pie, and some more his favorite foods. It was really peaceful and we were having a great time .  But somehow Ray got some kind of stomach flu .  It looked really hard. He couldn’t even stay in bed calmly. His tough condition continued until early in the morning , while I was giving him some herbal remedies.  I’ve read about the Benefits of Cinnamon which said that it is a  * Powerful antibacterial, works against E. coli, best at onset of illness.  * Intestinal astringent, dries excess mucus, while warming and notifying.  * Decreas...

Last weekend, we were hanging around in a new shopping mall. Looking around many stores, Lovely coach's handbags. I like the hot pink one. There are also some rock style fashion. 　 Then... suddenly, a gorgeous model in a large poster caught my eyes. Hm ? Mac ? Aw wwwwwwww, it’s Johnny !!!! 　 I remember Johnny was tweeting something about Glitter and ice of Mac cosmetics. But I didn't expect or think he was the main model in such a big poster at the shopping mall. Too cool. Nice expression. and the image and theme are creative. I love the make-up. Johnny’s skin looks naturally very beautiful in the poster. I know he has beautiful skin, but that looks even more, Porcelain skin ? His poster made me interested in Mac’s foundation. I was looking for a new foundation recently, so it was a good opportunity. I have very sensitive skin which doesn’t fit with most of cosmetics. But since reading it's made of water instead of oil, it may okay for my...
