I MISS U

I miss Japan. It's been almost 3 years since I visit Japan. I visited Hokkaido and Tokyo on May 2005. Hokkaido is an island on the northern part of Japan and it's very famous place for skiing on winter time. I went there on Spring season and was unable for me to experience the skiing fun there. Most of the people in Hokkaido are fishermen. They catch and selling fish. You'll get very fresh fish at the wet market there.

Ready For Love by Kelly Sweet

When love calls your name

And whispers you're the one

When all you've ever dreamed

Dances like stars around your heart

And finally I hold the chance

To give you all my love

So whats keeping me

Away from holding you

I'm ready to believe

Be strong enough

Give everything I am

And trust in love

My arms long to reach for you

The way I feel I wish you knew

I'm ready now, I'm ready to believe

Ooh, I'm ready for love

Only once, you will find

A love that is so true

And the way I think of you

You can't imagine how beautiful it feels

I must find a way to speak

This secret I hold near

Its these words

You need to hear

I'm ready to believe

Be strong enough

Give everything I am

And trust in love

My arms long to reach for you

The way I feel I wish you knew

I'm ready now, I'm ready to believe

Ooh

I know with you I could stay forever

Sailing into grace

Here all things are possible

There's no time or space

When I feel you near

I'm ready to believe

Be strong enough

Give everything

And trust in love

My arms long to reach for you

The way I feel I wish you knew

I'm ready now, I'm ready to believe

Ooh, Ooh

Heath Ledger 1979 - 2008

Heath Ledger: Fallen Star


With his fearless role in the Oscar-winning ''Brokeback Mountain,'' the Aussie actor became far more than just a pretty face. Now with his untimely death, a career — and life — ends too soonHeath Ledger: Fallen Star With his fearless role in the Oscar-winning ''Brokeback Mountain,'' the Aussie actor became far more than just a pretty face. Now with his untimely death, a career — and life — ends too soon

by Josh Rottenberg

In the spring of 2001, Heath Ledger sat at the bar in New York City's Regency Hotel, perched on the precipice of a kind of fame he wasn't sure he wanted. The 22-year-old Australian actor was about to appear in his first leading role in a Hollywood summer tentpole, a splashy rock & roll jousting movie called A Knight's Tale, and the newfound attention seemed to make him uncomfortable. As he spoke with a reporter for this magazine, he chain-smoked Camel Lights, fidgeted, and doodled with crayons on cocktail napkins, pressing so hard that the paper ripped. He said that the first time he'd seen his image on the movie's poster, wearing full medieval armor and a hard stare, he felt so nervous he shook. Out in Hollywood, many were busily mapping out his future for him: big-dollar paydays, hordes of screaming fans trailing his every move, spandex-clad-superhero roles. In fact, he had already been offered the starring role in the newly launched Spider-Man franchise and turned it down. (''I just don't care for comics,'' he said matter-of-factly. ''It would have been stealing someone else's dream.'') In the face of all of Hollywood's promises and pressures, Ledger seemed to have his eyes on something more ethereal and indefinable. ''I'm on a f---ing journey,'' he said. ''I'm on a walkabout. A lot of people think ambition or success, and they think dollars.... My success is getting underneath that. At the f---ing end of the day, that's the only thing you're going to carry with you when you die.''

Tragically, that journey ended on the afternoon of Jan. 22, when the actor was found dead at age 28 in his rented apartment in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood. Ledger was discovered naked in his bed by a housekeeper and a masseuse who had arrived for a regular appointment, a package of ''prescription-type'' sleeping pills nearby. (In a New York Times interview last November, Ledger had complained of having difficulty sleeping due to stress, to the point where a double dose of Ambien would only buy him an hour of rest.) There were no illegal drugs in the apartment, chief police spokesman Paul J. Browne reported, no evidence of foul play, and no initial indication of suicide. Pending an autopsy, it was unclear at press time what caused his death and whether prescription medications played a role.

The tragedy struck in the midst of an already hectic day in the entertainment industry, as Hollywood reacted to the morning's announcement of the Oscar nominations and the latest buzz emanating from Sundance. But word spread with lightning speed via cell phones and BlackBerries, and in nearly every case was met with disbelief. One high-ranking studio exec, after receiving an e-mail stating that Ledger was dead, quickly wrote back: ''What — you mean his career?'' Charlize Theron learned the news while walking a red carpet at Sundance.

Josh Hartnett was blindsided at a Sundance Q&A by a question about Ledger's death; he struggled to answer even as the crowd jeered the man who had asked it. The passing of an actor in his prime — he earned his first Oscar nomination at age 26 for Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain and was just months away from reinventing the Joker in the highly anticipated Batman Begins sequel, The Dark Knight — seemed too shocking to absorb at first, while at the same time painfully familiar. Within minutes of the story breaking, some 300 entertainment reporters, cameramen, photographers, and fans began to descend on Ledger's building, creating a tableau that resembled a grisly perversion of a movie premiere. Bystanders snapped photos on cellphones and paparazzi climbed the fire escape of the building across the street hoping for shots into Ledger's fourth-floor loft. ''It's crazy — he was so young,'' said one stunned observer.

K-OsteoCal - Seaweed Calcium Blend with Soy Protein

K-OsteoCal contains a blend of organic seaweed calcium, multivitamins and multiminerals.

Why K-OsteoCal Seaweed Calcium?

High in calcium and magnesium. Calcium aids in the development of strong bones and teeth. Magnesium promotes calcium absorption and retention.

High in Vitamin A, Thamine (Vitamin B1), Riboflavin (B2), Cyanocobalamin (B12) Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Vitamin A aids in maintaining the health of mucous membrane and is essential for the functioning of the eye. Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), is needed for release of energy from carbohydrates.

Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) is needed for the red blood cell production. Vitamin C contributes to the absorption of iron from food. Vitamin D helps the body utilize calcium and phosphorus and is necessary for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin E protects the fat in the body tissues from oxidation.

After giving birth to 3 kids i found that my teeth, hair and fingernails are not as healthy as before. I have bleeding gum too and my fingernails tend to be soft and crack easily. So, I try this K-OsteoCal and now I have stronger fingernails and my gum stopped bleeding.

K- AQUALife - HYDROGEN AQUA STICK

K-AQUALIFE Hydrogen Aqua Stick, was developed after many years of research in Japan. It is a ground-breaking product that allows you to make hydrogen-rich drinking water easily anywhere, at your convenience. Hydrogen water is very effective in eliminating active oxygen, which is considered to be the cause of ageing and many kinds of diseases.

K-AQUALIFE Hydrogen Aqua Stick conforms to official water quality standards in Japan for tap water. The resin used for the K-AQUALIFE Hydrogen Aqua Stick also conforms to food packaging standards in Japan.

It's very easy to use. Just place the K-AQUALIFE Hydrogen Aqua Stick into our drinking water (no other such as juice and tea - this can increase deterioration of the stick and cause abnormal odour) I can feel the water taste better, smoother and taste better . . . nothing compares to the quality water we drink everyday !

Superman - Ronan Keating

SUPERMAN

sang by Ronan Keating

album : Bring You Home

I've been heading in the wrong direction

Hiding from my own protection

Running but my heart was standing still

I guess you saw the light inside me

Your love has been a torch to guide me

I hope I can be all that you deserve.

Well I'm no Superman

But I'll love you the best I can

And you know I'm just flesh and bones

But with you I feel I'm flying

Don't you know I'm no Superman

But I always be your man

I was searching for a heart that's beating

As fast as the way I'm feeling

Trying to find some peace there in my soul

You know it was your love that saved me

The answer to my prayers you gave me

And I hope I'll be all that you deserve.

Well I'm no Superman

But I'll love you the best I can

And you know I'm just flesh and bones

But with you I feel I'm flying

Don't you know I'm no Superman

But I always be your man

I'd fight for you

I'd die for you

You know I would, yeah

Hold back the night

Light up the sky

Oh if I could

I'm no Superman

But I'll love you the best I can

And you know I'm just flesh and bones

But with you I feel I'm flying... flying

Don't you know I'm no Superman

But I always be your man

I'll always be your man

I'll always be your man
