03/31 NHK's broadcasting 「テレビでフランス語」's kick off !

 Hello everyone ! Sakura time !

This is Olfa, how have you been?
Here comes April, my favorite time of the year, when the weather starts to get warmer, the flowers blooms and the sky turns blue...Okay this is not always true, but let's stick to what our  imagination arbitrarily dictates sometimes.

And I'm sure if you're living in Japan, April is your favorite time of the year too!  Because when I spoke about blooming flowers I was of course referring to the pink Sakura, the cherry-trees blossom, which are famous for turning all Japan pink  at the beginning of the spring.

This is really a blessing to be able to see, even if only for a week, the whole city turned pink by beautiful petals floating at the whim of the wind ....

This beautiful season also marks the starts of studies for the students, work for new employees and it is also a season when people like to kick off new things and try themselves to new challenges!

For this I myself would like to let you know about a new endeavour in my life

Starting from tonight April the 1st 00:00 to 00:25, I'll be presenting the French show (テレビでフランス語) on NHK (NHK Educational on channel 2) and I'm really excited about that !
(Starting on April the 1st does not make it an "April fool" )

An "avant-premiere" from the 3rd episode :)

There will be two broadcatings per week:
◎ Tuesdayｓ evening from 00:00 to 00:25 (so actually Wednesday morning)
◎ Thursday mornings from 06:00 to 06:25!
For the ones abroad, you may also watch on the cable TV, if you're interested (interested in French culture or just out of curiosity.)

Hope you'll enjoy the weather getting warmer!

Cheers !
Love,

Olfa

24/1 I have to get myself a TV.

This morning I had a show in a Comedy program called  Hanamaru Market はなまるマーケット on TBS. Of course I know what It's all about but this time was especially funny because It commemorates the one year anniversary of me saying "I have to buy myself a TV, but don't worry I'll watch the next one!"  Here you see I'm procrastinating even with leisure activities...

This reminded me the last TBS broadcasting, where they just presented as "live" a 6 months old video...Thus everyone I've met for one month asked me how come I "never feel cold!".

T_T Obviously when you see this in December you have the right to wonder...

  

Indeed I'm wearing a tank top. But that as summer at that time I swear :)

And yeah, merry 1 year without TV to myself. Come to think of it, I'm not sure I need to find another reason to waste my time finally :)

This a picture I got from a friend today, still no idea what the whole thing looked like, but still...

I was actually in a pretty bad shape that day that I had to go to the pharmacy half way, not sure people noticed that but I'll be happy if they didn't (Vandame mode ON) =D

04/10 Japanese TV (ZIP)

at ZIP

Japan is the One and Only country were you go on TV because your "special talent" is being....foreigner.

Here are some pictures from the last TV appearance we did, I forgot to share it :)

The link for the video under is just a very short part of the emission. A friend managed to upload the whole but it unfortunately somehow fell into the cracks...

(I just realized I look so pissed off there! But that wasn't my feeling at all I swear : ))

That day we had to speak about Japanese sweets.

In order to do so, the TV crew just got us a whole Candy shop (the "normal" one yes...)
reserved for us only, so we could shop and then taste what ever we felt like...!

You know, this situation you dreamt of all your childhood : )

(You can slightly see the shop in question in the next picture's background).

Sweetly yours!
