Enhancing My Time @ Gym and Room

Posted on by sonokotchi

It is a Japanese national holiday today: Ocean Day.

It’s been hot in Japan and there was no national holiday in July.

Japanese government was smart to create a national holiday in July for a break.

However, my office opened today.

It’s been a quiet day so I went out for lunch.

I had a Freahness Burger’s Cheese Burger set.


It’s a nice Japanese burger shop and delicious, but I learned that calory is high… 

delicious food always with calories…… ahhhhhh


Boss left the office and I was alone in the office this afternoon.

I quickly finished writing reports and sending emails to make time to further study about privileges of being Amazon Prime members.

Annual fee of JPY 3,900 covers fast delivery fee, video and music.

I was considering to enhance my time at gym and room with these video and music.

I had time to Pochi.

Classic Concert @ Muza Kawasaki Symphony Hall, Kawasaki, Kanagawa 

Posted on by sonokotchi

I haven’t visited Kawasaki for quite some time.

Kawasaki looks different from how I knew before.

At the entrance of the hall, a street organ received us with nice music.

On behalf of Mom, I enjoyed powerful music conducted by Mr. Jonathan Nott with Dad.

Today’s music are

T. Hosokawa: “Klage” for mezzo soprano and orchestra based on Text by Georg Trakl

And

G. Mahler: Symphony No. 2 in C minor, “Auferstehung”

Wine Shop…s

Posted on by sonokotchi

My friend introduced me a nice wine shop: Cave de Re-Lax at Shimbashi/Toranomon,Tokyo.

He also introduced me a nice Chilean fullbody Cabernet Sauvignon red wine: Echeverria.

I will open it when I have a company.


Coincidentally, another wine shop, Pieroth Japan, called me to invite me to their wine tastings in Shinagawa, Tokyo.

I love wines, but I don’t have a wine cellar; I’m afraid this heat will spoil wines.

Do I want a cellar…? 

Do I want to keep many wines…? 

This thought is dangerous…hummmm

Natural Sauna

Posted on by sonokotchi

It’s been very hot in Tokyo.
By calenday, it’s supposed to be rainy season; but it’ve been dry: High 31C/Low 25C.

Even at midnight, it’s still 27C.

I’ve been sweating when I walk on the street.

I feel like I’ve been in sauna, natural sauna.

After soaking in a tub, I scrubbed dead skins using this Korean Mitten.

The performance was good; my skin must have been soft by the natural sauna.

I feel my skin is softer now after peeling dead skins off!!

Dinner @ Pran Pone, Ekoda 

Posted on by sonokotchi

I took Seibu Ikebukuro Line to go to Ekoda Station.

I was on Ginga Tetsudo 999 (Galaxy Train 999) wrapped train!

For others, it is a normal commuter train; but for me, it is special.

I was the only person taking photo of a train from the platform. hahaha


I had a nice Healthy Italian @ Pran Pone, Ekoda.

Today’s Shopping @ Amazon 

Posted on by sonokotchi

Yes, I pochi (press) again yesterday.

Today, I already received a package.


I opened a box…. ta-da!!!


I bought a 20,000 mAh power bank.

It’s heavier than I thought by actually holding 397g body; but it cannot beat the price: only USD 20 for 20,000 mAh!

This time, I’ll try not to spoil it.

Last time, I didn’t know that I need to charge and use it immediately.

When I brought it to my trip, it didn’t work…

This time, I will charge and test it!


This is my third time buying Moroccan Oil.

The other day, I bought small bottles for traveling.

This time, I’m buying a bigger bottle: 200 ml.

All women cannot live without hair care products and today, Moroccan Oil became a must item for my hair.

It came with a Moroccan Oil paper bag.

In Japan, a branded paper bag is equally important. hahaha


Lastly, I bought two boxes of 48 carbonated bath tablets – Kao’s Bub – in six aroma.

It’s consumable items (I already posted about Bub), I use one tablet every night when I bath; therefore, I bought two boxes to save delivery cost (free delivery).


Am I happy tonight?

YES!

Happy Saturday

Posted on by sonokotchi

I started my Saturday by going to hair salon.

After beautifying, went for lunch at my favorite Tenpura shop, Mikaku @ Roppongi.

Ummmm delicious!



It is a Hoozuki Ichi (Chinese Lantern Plant Market) day at Asahi Shrine.

Hoozuki protect us from bad lucks.


So beautiful.


I didn’t buy it but I got blessed by looking at them and praying at the Shrine.

I got these cute shoes as sourvenirs from Ho Chi Minh (Saigon), Vietnam. 

Soles are also cute!

Thank you!

I had Ichiran Ramen for dinner.

There are many foreigners at Ichiran tonight.

Ichiran opened a branch in Taiwan recently and there was a news that many people queue in line.

I like their noodle.

Their ordering system is unique.

If you are interested, please check my old post for how to order at Ichiran.
