We went for a new year prayer after lunch.
This small shrine, Tenso Jinjya (Tenso Shrine) is our family shrine.
I drew a fortune paper which is inside of dragon.
I can keep this temple’s God, dragon as a good luck charm.
My fortune is good luck.
After prayer, we had our break at Mercedes Me Downstairs Coffee Shop, Roppongi.
When we returned to home, we relaxed and had a dinner at home.
My little niece made me dessert: parfait.
We had it with a Swiss Hot Chocolate.
So sweet!
It is the day to hand over my apartment keys back to the agent.
I lived here for 9 years and 4 months.
I was very sentimental when I returned keys because there are so many memories.
There were goods and bads – I was happy.
I closed one chapter and moved on to another.
I celebrated my new start at Italian Restaurant Osteria Dieci, Azabu-Junan, Tokyo that night.
I had nice Italian wine: Monte Del Fra, and
Nice Italian food.
Choco also celebrated with me.
He had an appetizer (dried lean chicken) and main dish (chicken and vegetables).
We are adding this restaurant on our favorites.
It is Choco’s graduation day.
We participated 10 lessons to find a way to live together comfortably.
Three months ago, I was worried, but now I’m confident and happy to live with him.
There was a set of test.
Though we didn’t pass all tests coz some are not relevant to our life style, we enjoyed participating the test.
Others are better trained but I found they participated in kindergarten to get extra training.
No wonder.
Choco received a diploma from Familina Garden Minami-Aoyama.
Good Job, Choco!
I dress him up in Santa Clause. hohoho
This is a cute Santa!
After refreshing, I went for a walk with Choco.
Choco has grown up; today, he enjoys climbing stairs!
When he wakes up, he always asks to go to my parents’ bed to play with Teddy Bears!
He also looks like one. hahaha
We went dinner at Teppanyaki Yasaiya, Roppongi.
The restaurant became our regular dinner place because Choco can join.
He loves the jelly very much.
I should get the recipe.
I received an early Christmas gift. Yeah
I had a nice Pork Shabu Shabu at Butagumi, Roppongi.
I highly recommend to try Kagua Beer.
Japanese company requested Belgium Brewery to produce a beer according to Japanese company’s recipe.
Kagua Blanc and Rouge.
I was shocked when I had a sip of Rouge; I had a Rouge first.
If you want to surprise twice, please start with Blanc.
However, Rouge is knock-out and I was knocked-out. hahaha
A bottle of wine is reasonable there; a French Bordeaux wine for JPY 3900 for a bottle.
Food is also nice.
Would I go back again..? Absolutely!
On the way back home, I saw night illumination from the park.
I quickly went back and went to the park with Choco.
Press people were there to take photos and video.
I believe those are for promotion and meant for announcement for Christmas event at Tokyo Midtown Roppongi.
I watched a whole three minutes show selfishly to myself and Choco before the event starts.
It’s so beautiful….
First I went to spa to maintenance myself.
I also sent Choco to grooming so Choco also maintenance himself.
We both beautify ourselves.
I can continue beautify myself by getting quality sleep.
I finally receive my bed: Serra New York 552 from Dream Bed.
Japanese manufacturer is licensed to produce Serra Brand bed in Hiroshima, Japan.
It took 50 days to receive it.
How do I like it? Very Much!
I want to be with Choco as long as I can; therefore, I look for a restaurant that allows to bring Choco with me.
This is Italian Restaurant Shunsai at Roppongi.
It maintains cozy atmosphere for 29 years.
Food and drinks are also nice.
Choco went to kindergarten.
He was trained by a trainer and he played with many classmates!
He looks so happy!
