Mindfulness

Posted on by sonokotchi

Recently, I was recommended to practice mindfulness.

I have been knowing about this but I was not interested to learn about it.

Today, yes, I do feel weak and I’m interested in mindfulness.

In a way, I consider writing the blog is my way of mindfulness.

Originally, I started to blog to improve my English writing skill and to find one thing that makes me happy,, inspiring, thinking, etc. in a day.

This is the moment to think back of my day.

I usually love to watch an action movies.

Today, I watched “the Bucket List”.

I have more years to live (hopefully)…. however, I don’t need to wait till last moment to try things.

Perhaps, I can list down my bucket list.

These can be simple things such as laugh hard till I cry like mentioned in a movie.

Typhoon 19

Posted on by sonokotchi

Typhoon 19 hit Tokyo area on 12 October 2019 at 9 pm.

This typhoon damaged a wide area by causing floods, black outs, etc.

Public transportation operators such as train (JR), metro, flights, etc announced to suspend its operation and store also announced its closure on 12 October 2019 in advance.

This is a new exercise in Japan to avoid creating unnecessary weather refugees.

There are many people affected by this large scaled typhoon.

I hope they can get their normal life back soon.

Home Made Sangria

Posted on by sonokotchi

My friend gave me a half sized red wine.

It’s red wine so I kept it at room temperature during summer.

A room can be hot during daytime with sun.

I kept the bottle in shade but it was damaged.

I don’t want to waste it so I made sangria with orange, lime and blueberries.

I enjoyed it and will try it again.

Customizing Clear Case

Posted on by sonokotchi

I love to check products at 100 yen shop.

I bought 20 g clear case at Can Do Ebisu Store and I need to differentiate the cream/contents between two.

I drew sun and moon with nail polish to indicate one for morning cream and the other for night cream.

I usually transfer to a smaller case to keep it fresh by preventing opening cream jars often.

I took my late summer holidays this week and lasting out with Choco. Sleep, sleep, sleep.

I also went to spa on Monday, I had massage for my back and legs on Tuesday, Massage for shoulders on Wednesday.

In addition, I tried stone spa for 30 mins before my massage on Tuesday.

Yes, now I start gaining back my energy.

Typhoon 15

Posted on by sonokotchi

I had a mission to conduct and I started it with a hectic day.

I received 10 companies to participate in Tokyo Game Show and I also organized events such as networking/pitching and tow dialogue sessions with Japanese gaming companies prior to their participation in the trade fair.

Unfortunately, the Day 1 – arrival to Tokyo on 9 September 2019 was hit by Typhoon 15.

Typhoon passed Tokyo in early morning around 3 – 5 am.

Many commuters were affected by Typhoon 15 in the morning of 9 September 2019 because many train stopped its services to avoid passengers’ conferment.

On the other hand, I was worried mission members’ flights get cancelled; nonetheless, I started receiving a news that they safely arrived – I was relieved.

The weather recovered quickly and train operators started the service.

However, my delegates at Narita Airport were not fine.

They reported public transportations were out of service.

I couldn’t believe this because there are many: 2 train lines (JR and Keisei), 3 bus operators (Airport Limousine Bus, Keisei Bus, Access Narita) and taxi.

I thought some will recover by afternoon; but no.

There wasn’t any news on TV or anywhere about losing public transportation in and out of Narita Airport due to tree branches covering rail ways and highways and broken electricity poles.

They ended up staying over night at Narita Airport.

These photos are taken by delegates.

I tried to arrange a bus for them; however, highways were closed…

They took early train to Tokyo and arrived at networking venue.

Thank you all for rushing to the venue.

I was so happy to see you all!
