Frozen

Some time ago, we went to cinema to let Momochan see a new film, FROZEN the story of a reing in the danish kingdom.
Momochan loved this film so much and asked for the dvd as soon as we can find ;)

PLOT

Elsa, princess of Arendelle, possesses the magical ability to create ice and snow. One night while playing, she accidentally injures her younger sister, Anna. The king and queen seek help from trolls, who heal Anna and remove her memories of Elsa's magic. The royal couple isolates the children in their castle until Elsa learns to control her powers. Afraid of hurting Anna again, Elsa spends most of her time alone in her room, causing a rift between the girls as they grow up. When the girls are teenagers, their parents die at sea during a storm.

When Elsa comes of age, the kingdom prepares for her coronation. Among the guests is the Duke of Weselton, who seeks to exploit Arendelle for profit. Excited to be allowed out of the castle again, Anna explores the town and meets Prince Hans of the Southern Isles, and the two immediately develop a mutual attraction. Despite Elsa's fear, her coronation goes off without incident. During the reception, Hans proposes and Anna hastily accepts. However, Elsa refuses to grant her blessing and forbids their sudden marriage. The sisters argue, culminating in the exposure of Elsa's abilities during an emotional outburst.

Panicking, Elsa flees the castle, while inadvertently unleashing an eternal winter on the kingdom. High in the nearby mountains, she casts off restraint, building herself a solitary ice palace, and unknowingly brings to life her and Anna's childhood snowman, Olaf. Meanwhile, Anna sets out in search of her sister, determined to return her to Arendelle, end the winter, and mend their relationship. While obtaining supplies, she meets mountain man Kristoff and his reindeer Sven. She convinces Kristoff to guide her up the North Mountain. The group then encounters Olaf, who leads them to Elsa's hideaway.

Anna and Elsa reunite, but Elsa still fears hurting her sister. When Anna persists in persuading her sister to return, Elsa becomes agitated and accidentally strikes Anna in the heart with her powers. Horrified, Elsa creates a giant snow creature to drive Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf away. As they flee, Kristoff notices Anna's hair is turning white, and deduces something is very wrong. He seeks help from the trolls, his adoptive family, who explain that Anna's heart has been frozen. Unless it is thawed by an "act of true love", she will become frozen solid forever. Believing that only Hans can save Anna, Kristoff races back with her to Arendelle.

Meanwhile, Hans, leading a search for Anna, reaches Elsa's palace. In the ensuing battle against the Duke's men, Elsa is knocked unconscious and imprisoned back at the kingdom. There, Hans pleads with her to undo the winter, but Elsa confesses she doesn't know how. When Anna reunites with Hans and begs him to kiss her to break the curse, Hans refuses and reveals that his true intention in marrying her was to seize control of Arendelle's throne. Leaving Anna to die, he charges Elsa with treason for her younger sister's apparent death.

Elsa escapes and heads out into the blizzard on the fjord. Olaf finds Anna and reveals Kristoff is in love with her; they then escape onto the fjord to find him. Hans confronts Elsa and tells her Anna is dead because of her. In Elsa's despair, the storm suddenly ceases, giving Kristoff and Anna the chance to find each other. However Anna, seeing that Hans is about to kill Elsa, decides to throw herself between the two just as she freezes solid, twarting Hans' attack.

As Elsa grieves for her sister, Anna begins to thaw, since her decision to sacrifice herself to save her sister constitutes an "act of true love." Realizing love is the key to controlling her powers, Elsa is able to thaw the kingdom and even helps Olaf survive in summer. Hans is sent back to the Southern Isles to face punishment for his crimes against the royal family of Arendelle, and Elsa cuts off trade with Weselton. Anna and Kristoff share a kiss, and the two sisters reconcile; Elsa promises never to shut the castle gates again.

All'alba sorgerò (Frozen)

La neve che cade sopra di me copre tutto col suo oblio,

In questo remoto regno la regina sono io...
Ormai la tempesta nel mio cuore irrompe già,
non la fermerà la mia volontà!

Ho conservato ogni bugia,
per il mondo la colpa è solo mia!
Così non va, non sentirò, un altro no!

D'ora in poi lascerò che il cuore mi guidi in po',
scorderò quel che so e da oggi cambierò!
Resto qui, non andrò più via,
sono sola ormai, da oggi il freddo è casa mia!

A volte è un bene poter scappare un po',
può sembrare un salto enorme ma io lo affronterò!
Non è un difetto, è una virtù, e non la fermerò mai più!
Nessun ostacolo per me, perché

D'ora in poi troverò la mia vera identità,
e vivrò, sì, vivrò per sempre in libertà!
Se è qui il posto mio, io lo scoprirò!

Il mio potere si diffonde intorno a me!
Il ghiaccio aumenta e copre ogni cosa accanto a sé!
Un mio pensiero cristallizza la realtà!
Il resto è storia ormai, che passa e se ne va !

Io lo so, sì lo so, come il sole tramonterò,
perché poi, perché poi, all'alba sorgerò !
Ecco qua, la tempesta, che non si fermerà !
Da oggi il destino appartiene a me.

bubbles

Today as every week end, we took a walk to the main plaza and as it's a sunny day Momochan took the bubbles with her.
She has a special container whit which she can make giant bubbles and she amuses so much when there is sun because bubbles take all the colours of the rainbow ;)

spring !!!

Today, for the first day of spring, children of kindergarden had to take a flower to plant at the entrance of their school.
I took our plant when I went to take Momo at 16.00 PM, there were still some other kids planting their flowers who did not had time in the morning.
Momo was really happy about her tiny flowers, this kind will have flowers all the summer long ;)

firemen

This morning Momochan and the bigger kids of her class will go to visit the firemen.
As every time, a bus is coming to kindergarden to take kids and teachers.
Every year the kindergarden organizes some tours divided for small kids and bigger ones, they have different tours and also some togather like for example the ending party in june at the end of the year.

Arianna b'day party

Last week, Momochan has been invited for today, to a kindergarden friend birthday party ;) we had already bought a present, a 1000 pieces puzzle so this afternoon we went to her friend house.
She lives in a big house in a quiet zone of the town and she has a garrden, when we arrived, kids were painting stones and a friend invited Momo to paint her own stone, Momo loves painting ;)
In the backside of the garden kids discovered sliders and balances, they runned, played, jumped, Arianna's mum meanwhile inside the kitchen was baking some little pizzas and taking the cakes to the big livingroom table.
Kids eat the cake and played again inside house, then they got outside again playing "bandiera", four kids against four, Momochan was numer "3", she amused so much, she likes parties and staying with other kids. At home she was really tired and nearly fall asleep on the sofa HAHA

carnival

This afternoon I have taken Momochan to the main plaza because there is a kind of open party for Carnival and all kids of the town will be there.

Momochan will wear her costume, this time, it will be pirate ;)

We brought some confettis to throw around and some "stelle filanti", Momochan likes to throw them around and on the people ;)

In the plaza she met some of her kindergarden friends and she played with them, she also went on the little train carousel.
She wanted to be make-uppedd but there were too many kids and at last she changed idea.
It was already late, dark, cold and humid was coming so we decided to go home, so cozy and warm and watch tv cartoons ;)

acquarium and ... musubi ;)

Today is sooo sunny and Momochan is on Carnival holiday so we have thought to do something togather and as she loves fishes we go to the Civic Aquarium.
It is nice to look at the fishes, some are new, there is a big octopus, new fishes, many new shells and also jellu fishes ;)
Momochan jumps here and there from a pond to another looking at the see fishes from Egyptian barrier, jumping from the lake or mountains ones.
At the end of the visit we get outside, the idea is to find an ice cream shop and have three big cones, walking along in the middle of the shops is nice today as it is warm, Momo is soo happy ;)
Walking along the shops she also helps me to find a new bag, I was searching ìfor a new comfortable bag because I have broken the one I have, Momo choose a black one with a big glittering butterfly and the price is so low that we buy.
Daddy has an idea, as he is late to go home, prepare lunch and go work, he takes us to a new place, a new japanese mini restaurant called MUSUBI.
Getting inside it makes me remember the ramen shop wee have visited in Japan, the new shop is light brown and clean, with three long small tables where to eat but without seat.
Sampei takes a makunouchi bento, (the makunouchi bento, comes from the Edo period, 1603, this tipical bento was served in the middle of theater performances).
Momo want to eat gyoza and I take rice and fried chicken (a little pepper inside but not bad).
The shop sells food to eat inside or to take away and is the only take-away who sells onigiri in Milan ;) it is nice to stay there, we have for a while the impression to be in Japan, the only bad thing is that to eat there we have to reach the center of Milan and we live outside :( but anyway wee will try to eat there when we come back to center again ;)
After meal daddy has not time to take us the car so we accompany him to work. As he starts to prepare before the arrive of the collegues, Momochan looks at him as he clean and cut fishes and clams, she amuses so much but she asks if she can be a cook, but not one for fish, she wants to cut the veggies because fish stinks too much ! HAHAHA
It is already late and collegues are arriving so we say goodbye and we walk away, this evening wee will ahev to go and take daddy home, he will arrive with a bus at the limits of the city and we will reach him with the car so this time Momochan will go bed veeery late ;)

sister ;)

This morning we have gone to the doctor for the 5th month ecografy.
The doctor has taken many measures and shown us every particular, liver, heart, hands, arms, legs and feet and has said the baby is a female ;)
Momoko will have a sister who will arrive end of july in the middle of the summer ;)
Meantime we have friends who have bigger kids and are continuously sending us little dresses and items for the new arriving baby, I guess I will not need to buy anything for the baby hehe

s. valentine

Today is S. Valentine, really we do not celebrate it but it is true every occasion is good to eat a cake so as this morning we were at our preferred coffee shop for breakfast and we saw one, we did not care about the heart shape but we bought because it didn't have special phrases on it but it was covered by strawberries and Momochan loves strawberries ;) After breakfast I went home and Sampei to work. During afternoon I went kindergarden to take Momochan and as snack at home I gave her a slice of cake, granny too cameto stay withh her niece and she also had a slice of cake, Momo said it was really delicious, this child is really becoming a sweet teeth HAHAHA

san valentine

girichokotte nan desuka ? (what does giri choko means ?) with that phrase Sampei and I always joke on S.Valentine day exchanging choko treats since we went Japan ^O^

Valentine's Day おめでとう !

Differently from Italy in Japan this day is not only for lovers.

Girichoko義理チョコ is more like showing gratitude, and giving chocolate to boss, coworkers and friends are very popular thing. Giving chocolate to someone you like to say `thank you' is Japanese Valentine's Day. It seems exchanging chocolate or small gift on the day between friends or families are getting popular.

Valentine's Day does not have a long history in Japan and people said this has been planned by chocolate companies but it seems people are enjoying and using the day to show their gratitude to the people they feel grateful.

Actually one third of sales of chocolate companies are made on Valentine's Day each year.

a funny day ;)

Today wee have gone McDonalds for lunch, Momochan likes to eat nuggets andshe can also eat fruit, as soon as the season changes and summer arrives, inside the store she can have ananas, apple or kiwi togatherr with her nugget and fries so even if she has fries eating fresh fruit balances a little. After lunch, as it is a sunny day, wee didn't want to go home so wee thought to take Momochan to a near garden center, she loves flowers and animals and inside the store sells fishes, birds, mices, other strange animals and in the garden, afyet plants, trees and flowers there is a space with deers and sheeps ;)

The earth is humid as has recently fallen rain and deers can stay quiet.
The garden center has also some free birds like peacoks jumping inside the area where clients can sit and have a coffee or rest a while, the owner's house is attached to the store so the peacoks jump freely here and there ;)
