Lazy Sunday and Healthy Monday

Posted on by sonokotchi

Yesterday, I pochi (press) Amazon Prime Video.

I tried free one month trial to finish watching the Suits Season 4.

I wish Season 5 is available.

Japan is behind the schedule.

I also enjoyed Calbee’s premium potato chips that my friend gave me.

These are in small packets so Iguiltily ate   few.


I was lazy on Sunday; but, how about my Monday…?

I went to pool in the morning; then went to dentist for annual check up.

I’m glad to know that my teeth are fine.

But I have one tooth that I need to treat.

It was treated by different dentist before, but still require further treatment. Ahhh


I was lazy yesterday so I tried to be healthy today.

I had healthy snack: cooked banana and orange.

Canadian Extra Light Maple Syrup added nice flavor. 

 (It was a nice sunny day. I closed curtains to take a photo).


It is Canadian Day today because I had Canadian Smoked Salmon Sandwich for dinner.


Okay, time to do my nail and go to sleep Zzzzz

Debut at Pool♪

Posted on by sonokotchi

I debut at pool today. Horay!

I went to gym pool this morning because my physical therapist recommended me to walk in the pool for twenty mins three times a week.

I’m sorry if I disappoint you; I went to pool to walk, not to swim. hahaha

It was fun to walk in pool and I felt gooooood because I could occupy (not fully occupied to myself) quiet moment at  the pool, shower booth and powder room.

This is my new bathing suits.

I have few bikinis for beach, but not for gym.

Unfortunately, my body requires a lots of tune-up before wearing bikini to gym pool.

Yes, one day, I want to wear a sexy outfit to gym. 


This morning was a very productive Saturday morning.

After returning from gym, I went to brunch with my old friend from Kyoto.

We had Egg Benedict and coconuts pancakes at Eggcellent, Roppongi Hills.

We had so much to catch up. fufufu

Posted in Feelings, My Flower Arrangement

Today’s Flower Arrangement

Posted on by sonokotchi

Today’s theme is Blue Star Sapphire Wedding Anniversary: the 65th Wedding Anniversary.

Wow, it’s so loving to celebrate the 65th Wedding Anniversary together – they have a big heart ❤️ 

I don’t have a blue star sapphire, but I wanted to include an element of it to my arrangement.

There aren’t many blue flowers; therefore, I prepared blue balloons.

These balloons are rounded like stones; I tried to write white lines to make them blue star sapphires, but it didn’t work.

Never mind, I still like my arrangement.

Japanese Curry

Posted on by sonokotchi

Tonight I made typical Japanese curry.

Ingredients are beef, onions, carrots and potatoes.

Japanese curry is thick or should I say “starchy”?

It’s easy to make with curry roux.

All spices such as curry powder are in curry roux.

It tastes better next day; let it sit.

Golf Balls as Healing Tools

Posted on by sonokotchi

My physical therapist told me my ankles are hard and recommended me to roll golf balls with my arch of foot.

Then I realize I should bring these golf balls to office and roll them while I’m working!

I can save time; simultaneously refresh at the office!

Don’t you think that’s a brilliant idea? 

I shall try it!

Asics Walking

Posted on by sonokotchi

Last March, while I was texting, I fell from stairs and hit my knees hard twice.

Since then sometimes my knees give me a trouble.

These are my collection of Asics Walking (shoes).

Asics Walking has a VERY SOFT CUSHION.

Furthermore, there is a machine to measure my foot to make an insole according to shape of my foot instantly.

Once I tried a pair, I cannot wear other shoes… because it has a SOFT CUSHION!

Movie Sunday

Posted on by sonokotchi

I started my day with a movie, the Accountant.

For Japanese movie title, it’s “the Consultant.” Hummmm

Well, it is a nice action movie and I know there will be the Accountant 2!

I look forward for the next movie.


Then had a lunch at my favorite Tempura shop in the town, Mikaku.


I had a Chef’s Recommendation Tendon (Tempura on a rice bowl).


I enjoyed, but a scale doesn’t lie…ahhhhhhh
