Home Secretary Theresa May has said the UK Border Agency will be split in two following revelations that hundreds of thousands of people were let into the country without appropriate checks.

She said it needed a new management culture and to become a “disciplined law enforcement organisation,” led by a director general reporting directly to ministers. Brian Moore, chief constable of Wiltshire, is to be its interim head.

The UKBA (UK  Border Agency) is to be split in two after an official inquiry report found that poor communication, poor oversight and confusion among ministers and senior officials lay at the heart of last summer’s border checks fiasco.

Is Orange good when you having a cold or flu ?

My husband buy some banana and apples all the time but I need some orangeas well cos it good for a cold or flu I believe it. So he buy some orange recently and eat them. We don’t catch a cold this winter at the moment.

My friends catch a cold this winter. ALL of them. But we don’t. So I thunk it helpful.

The additional Vitamin C  helps the body fight off cold. Vitamin C is good when it comes to colds  because Vitamin C helps boost and strengthen your immune system, which is the  system that fights diseases and cold. Also, because an orange is filled with a  lot of Vitamin C.

It remind me about mom’s house. We having orange into Kotatsu all the time and it makes us very warm legs. ( Kotatsu is a Japanese electronic heater.) We can eat anytime we want. This is a Japanese culture, too.

I don’t like this

I watch the news about ,,,,,,,,,,, Bobby Brown dramatically stormed out of his ex-wife Whitney Houston’s funeral – before returning via a side entrance to the church shortly after.

It’s unclear whether he had an altercation with one of Whitney’s family members – who are not on good terms with Brown.

Actually, I have a experience like this ;; when ex-boyfriend’s father passed away, I attended to his funeral  as his son’s wife. We lived in together and his father likes me a lot. BUT, his mother and his borother doesn’t allow my attend ( They don’t say anything to me but they told some relativs.) Why I attended to his funeral ? ,,,, because his mother said ” Please attend. ” but she said to them opposite thing ! It is BIG problem between ex-boyfriend and me afterthat. Then we broke up.

I think people to commemorate someone’s death, it is very natural thing. No one shouldn’t say complain.

Some people may only have patches of dry skin. On the face, the cheeks and lips might be most affected. Hands, elbows, knees and feet are other areas commonly affected by dry skin.

My skin is VERY dry and thin. I use lotion after shower or bath every time and it almost finished. I wanted to buy it in here UK but there isn’t lotion here ;.

Some people only experience dry skin in particular weather conditions. Those living in temperate weather regions may find their skin dries out during the winter months only. Others resident in more tropical climates may find that the skin dries out during the periods of the year with the least rainfall.

My skin getting worse since I came UK ; cos it dry country and heating on all the time.

I asked shop lady about lotion but answer was ” Use cream ” . That’s it. Of course I use cream as well but we need moisturizer before cream. Please understand it, if your Japanese girlfriend or wife use lotion before cream.

Is Japanese hardest language in the world ?

I heard that if Japanese is your native language, then it is easy, and Korean isn’t too bad. But otherwise there’s good argument for saying that Japanese is the hardest language in the world, with Chinese being a close second. Japanese is hardest becaus, first and foremost, the writing system is  catastrophically confusing and convoluted.

Grammar in Japanese is  a bit messy, with verbs doing all manner of bizarre things,  adjectives behaving exactly like verbs at times, and all of this having  to be changed depending on who is saying what to whom under what  circumstances.

So ,,, my husband can’t speak any Japanese even he lived in Japan 15 months before ;. and we talked about Japanese yesterday, then he said ” complicated ! ” . But I thought English is bit hard express my opinion sometimes.

e.g : If I want to say ” Natsukasii～ ” ( 懐かしい～ ) in English , it “Wow, this brings back old memories.” ,,,,,,, but it’s not real my feeling ;. Natsukasii is 懐かしい (^^), so I’d like to learn or understand about ”Natsukasii ”　（　懐かしい　）for husband.

Apple Crumble

My husband made Apple Crumble.

Apple crumble is not as hard to master as you may think but I don’t make it because he making all the time. And I don’t have habit to eat dessert.

The crumble originates from the second world war, where strict rations meant that there was enough flour to make equally traditional pies and both sweet and savoury versions of the crumble were created.

My Japanese friends doesn’t understand about it cos it doesn’t make sense about ” crumble “. Maybe they imagine to Apple-Pie ! Similar ,,,,, but not same.

How different Japanese way for flu.

How can you protect yourself from flu or cold ? or, what would you do if you catch a cold ?

If you have cold symptoms, you should wash your hands after using tissues when you cough or sneeze or wipe your nose. Wash your hands before you touch someone else or their things so you don’t spread the virus to them. If the other person is not as careful as you and you are not in a position to educate them on hygiene, then watch them closely and don’t touch things they have used, or if you must, then immediately wash your hands before you touch your face, eyes, mouth, or nose.

This is our Japanese believe things about flu. Well,, when I lived in Australia, I catch a cold and wanted to take a bath and sleep at warm bed, but Aussie said ” You should take a cold shower and turn on air-conditioner at room, then sleep !

Another Aussie said ” You should drink dissolved vegemite in hot water. ” ,,, (^^) I like vegemite but never try it.

So ,,, what about here in UK ? yes, they saying ” Drink a lot’s of TEA ! ”

 

Japanese Valentine’s Day

Japanese believe without doubt that Valentine’s Day is a day for the woman to present gift of chocolate to the man in her heart. Christians are undoubtedly familiar with Saint valentine, but many Japanese are unaware that he was a person persecuted by Roman emperor and martyred on February 14.

Valentine’s Day was first introduced to Japan by a western person who came to Japan before World War II.  Soon after, confectionery makers and retailers tried to make it pervasive to promote their sales, but it was in the latter half of 1970s that it became quite popular in Japan.  Valentine’s Day in Japan became something quite unique, with manners and customers unique to Japan; females giving males to express their affinity and love.

Does it sound good to you ? Please don’t get too excited when you get chocolates from Japanese girls ! They might be “Giri-choko (obligation chocolate).” Women give chocolates not only to their loved ones.  “Giri-choko” is the chocolate given to men such as bosses, colleagues or male friends that women have no romantic interest in, just for friendship or gratitude. The concept of “giri” ( 義理 ) is very Japanese. It is a mutual obligation that the Japanese follow when dealing with other people. If someone does you a favor, then you feel obligated to do something for that person.
