Bento world

Have you heard about those fancy little lunch box meals, conquering the world starting from Japan? They're called bentos and I love them!

Too tiny, to actually carry a decent lunch, you think? Wrong! ... Well not completely, it depends on your stomach's size.
For me it's absolutley enough. You're supposed to fill it to the top, so it's brimmed. If you do so, the small box might remind you of a boulder, but a totally delicious one!
True, it's cold, that sucks... but to me, it doesn't matter at all!
The picture above actually isn't a bento for me ... I'm allergic to shrimp ... but it still looks so good!

TOEFL test

Today I took the very famous Test Of English a Foreign Language. Nowadays it being able to speak a language and that very well doesn't mean you actually speak the language. No, you need a certificat, that you've paid like 200 bugs for, then and not till then you are officially declared of being able to speak English! Well alright, you gotta pass the test, too...

So, I've registered for the TOEFL in November of last year, told myself how easy it would be for me, since my English is just slamming but today I didn't feel that safe anymore. What if they used super complicated vocabulary or ask grammar questions? I'm so not able to handle that!
When we walked in the testing room - everyone on its on like it's the final curtain - I stared at my desktop (yes, it's a computer based test ... no one actually uses pencils anymore. we should safe them up for times when coal gets rare), waiting.
Then it started. Was it difficult? Yes. Did I panic? I don't think so. Every text was a non fictional text, mostly about biology or history. Understand wasn't a problem at all but sometimes the answers didn't fit the question. While talking with some of the others, they could just manage it to tell me how it sucked, during their gasps but I don't know ... it was hard, but alright! You wanna study in the US or GB? Well you gotta understand those texts, right?

I have to wait two weeks for the results ... I hope I passed 80 points, that was my goal.

Fantasy ga Hajimaru

I won't start with the typical "Hi, my name is ..." like most of the others do.
Let's be honest. Starting a blog, finding a title and writing the first entry is hard work. Well, maybe starting a blog isn't, but everything else, if you want to be creative, sure is.
I hate titles. I really do. They have to be smart, catchy, maybe funny or mysterious, but as soon as people think you're stupid as bread, they'll never come back and good bye to your bright blogger career.
So, what does Resonant Blue stand for? Besides it is a song title from my favourite group, I really like the idea of sound and vision, combined to a great experience. I'm sorry to those, thinking I'm going to blog about my lovely Morning Musume all day and night, because it's not my intention. Go ahead, find yourself a JPop blog, I'm fine with it. Of course sometimes I'm going to talk about them, since they're a big part of my life, despite the fact I've passed 14 a long time ago. You can still love music, right?
By the way, this post's title is a Morning Musume song, too... I just hate thinking of titles. Luckily my parents don't think that way or I would be the nameless girl...

This is not my first blog. It's actually the third one. Only one of the others is still active and it wouldn't be a lot fun to you, since it's mainly in Japanese and quite dull. Some time ago I've lost interest in blogging, but today I've watched the movie Julie & Julia (which is great by the way) and I was reminded, why I startet in first place.
So I was thinking ... I'm not interested in looking back on my first blog, it's been almost 4 years and I've become a different person. I really like the idea of having a project like in the movie. Since I'm a passionated chef myself, cooking is an obvious idea, but it has been done and I'm lacking persistence. I'm not quite sure, what to do with this blog, but I'll figure it out! Maybe I should just talk about my life the way it is ... unspectacular. Maybe being that unspectacular makes it great!
Or maybe not.

That's what I got to find out.
