Ukulele night by Jake
Last night I went to Highline ballroom to see concert of Jake Shimabukuro.
He's ukulele player!!
I have known him for long time but it was first time to see and listen his performance at his concert.
It was...
AWESOME!!!!
His ukulele was not the same with my image of ukulele... much more than that!!!!!
His ukulele made tons of kinds of sounds... more than guitar!!
And I was so surprised that his fingers were so thin and beautiful.
From that small and simple instrument, he could show us the world of music:)
You should listen his music but I think you never know he only plays ukulele...lol

What do you want to be?
Now there are many temporally shops for Halloween costumes everywhere.
Suddenly they showed up and they are selling many many kinds of costumes.
Of course I went there to check my costume for this year with my friends.
It was so much fun to see many creepy, cute, pretty.... costumes:)
But last time I dressed up for Halloween was when I was 11 years old...
So it made me difficult to choose what I want to be.
Because there are too many choices!!! BUT most of girl's costumes were too sexy for me... lol
So I chose....*** :)

GHOSTY!!
Yesterday I got order sheet of special cupcakes.
They said 96 "ghosty" cupcakes (vanilla and red velvet)
"......"
I couldn't understand "ghosty" means.
And I asked chef and he showed me how to make cupcake "ghosty".....
Oh, I seeeeeeee!!
They were for Halloween!!!!!
It was very simple but just adding eyes of cute ghosts made them fun ghosty....:)
96 cupcakes times 3 ghosts is .... 288 ghosts!!! lol
It must be scary but ... they were too cute!! :)

Ryuichi Sakamoto!!!
Tonight I went to the concert of Ryuichi Sakamoto at NYU Skirball Center.
It was very funny that there were really many kinds of people. I've never seen such a variety people in concert:) Of course there were many Japanese and Asian but there were many non Asian too. Also even Japanese people, young to old, business men to funky boys... lol Because of Mr. Ryuichi Sakamoto his character I think... lol
This week I was so busy and today I went there after 10 hours work. So I was so tired both mentally and physically.
And first he started quiet songs and all of those songs squeezed out my tiredness and bad thing from my body and mind. I could feel that my head became blank and my body became new. And also those songs made me very sensitive.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XG3gjBPizRg&feature=related
Then after that he played uptempo and fun songs. They made my body and feeling light and made me happy!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg5LSvc5shQ&feature=related
Then last he played really clear and elegant songs.
They sank in my mind deeply and it was like cuddling me gently. It made me cry a little bit.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGs_vGt0MY8
His piano was like magic. Before and after I think my face was different:)
He didn't talk but he showed us his messages on screen and he talked to us with his piano.
Also his music was like Modern Art.
I couldn't guess what sounds would be the next but all sounds tickled my heart:)
After the show we could get autograph from himself. Everyone was telling him how much the show was great!! so I wanted to say something different. So I asked him he liked sweets or not. And I asked him to One Girl Cookies.... lol
Maybe he thought "Then why this girl didn't bring cupcake for me!!"
After I asked him, I noticed "I should've brought some cupcakes for him!!" But it was too late... lol Next time, I will!!

Brooklyn Brewery
Last Friday night we went to Brooklyn Brewery.
On Friday night they open their space to public and we can get beer and we can bring or order own food:)
Doesn't care anything, just have fun with friends and enjoy beer!! lol
But we need to be careful not to drink too much. Because that atmosphere let us drink easily..:)

It's difficult to find own friends because it's so crowded!!
Many kinds of beer and many kinds of alcohol %... some of them are around 10%?!
We can order pizza from there:)
But everyone do the same so we need to wait long time...:( starving!!
But longer waiting makes pizza better than usual!! YUM!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today I had an unbelievable experience!!!!
First I went to Brooklyn Museum for the first time because I had heard it's really nice or nicer than Metropolitan Museum from many friends.... but unfortunately it was closed today.....:(
So I changed plan and went to Brooklyn Public Library which is next to museum. And I searched for some recipes and after that I went to Prospect Park which is also next to museum... lol
Then I found many things can tell us it's autumn.... like color changing of leaves, many squirrels are trying to eat as much as possible to enough energy for cold winter... (Actually they became so fat these days:) I really like to see these changing of season. Also we had a big storm and hails last night so the park was different from usual. Many leaves were everywhere. And it could be messy but I thought it was really beautiful.... :)
So I decided to walk from top of the park (Grand Army Plaza) to all down 15th street Prospect Park station. And it happened!!!!!!!!
I found really really special thing today!!!!!
It was ....... WHITE, WHITE, WHITE squirrel!!!!!!!!!
Have you ever seen this before?
At first I couldn't tell what I found.... but it was....
And I really proud of myself that I always have my phone and my camera!! lol
I tried to be closer to him a little by little and took some pictures!! So I can share this happiest moment with you all!! :)
I hope this special squirrel will bring me and everyone happiness:)
But I felt so sorry for him because he stand out so much in the park....
I hope he can survive from enemies like cats, eagles and everything. And I hope he can bring happiness to many people:)
Thank you so much for letting me to see you, Mr. WHITE!!
I'm not sure but I think he is not Miss but MR!! lol
