Health and Beauty

Posted on by sonokotchi

I went to Megalos Hibiya Studio to participate in Volt Drum (Exercise in Dark using Drum Sticks).

We use two drum sticks that light in dark when we hit them.

It was fun but I look forward for Volt Box (boxercise In Dark) next week.

Hopefully, I don’t need to cancel it.

After the lesson, I went to Chinese Restaurant Keiraku @ Hibiya/Yurakucho for dinner with my friend.

Oops, beer tasted VERY NICE!

I came back home and greeted by Choco.

I dressed him in Halloween Costume.

He looks nice but he will try to take it off. ahhhhh

For beauty…I’ve been using Gerovital which I bought them when I visited Romania last May.

I’m about to run out so I ordered via Amazon.

Apparently, these arrived from Romania.

I received some samples, too.

Of course, the price is more expensive than what these are sold in Romania.

However, I have sensitive skin and so far these never gave me any troubles.

Spoiling Day

Posted on by sonokotchi

The park that we go for a walk regularly organizes events.

This time, L’CCITANE…?

People are busily preparing for a day to start.

After the morning walk, I went to treat myself at Spa.

I need to regularly maintenance myself; especially before the big event which will start tomorrow.

After the spa, I prayed at Asahi Shrine that is local area guardian.

The Shrine brings me peace in my mind.

I had a volumy ramen lunch at Tenka Ippin Roppongi Store.

I took a cha siu (toasted pork), tamago (egg) Kotteri (thick soup) ramen.

I enjoyed every bite!

After taking a lunch, I became sleepy so I took a nap. hahaha

I was asked for dinner to the Teppanyaki Restaurant that I can bring Choco with me: Teppanyaki Yasaiya Roppongi.

The restaurant is prepared for welcoming Choco and even gave Choco a complementary jelly.

He seems to like it very much because he couldn’t control himself; he went straight to the jelly.

The restaurant can prepare dinner for Choco as well, but this time I already brought his dinner (dog food) with me.

Perhaps, next time.

Food for us/human is also nice.

I’m happy to know that there is a restaurant that we can dine inside because it’s getting cold in Tokyo.

Middle Day in Long Weekend

Posted on by sonokotchi

It is Japanese National Holiday tomorrow: Sports Day.

My office will close so I tried many new things for Choco today.

We went breakfast at Le Pain Quotidien, Tokyo Midtown Roppongi.

He can join us at the terrace table.

I enjoyed relaxing morning with Choco,

I took him to clinic at Green Dog, Tokyo Midtown Roppongi to get his medicine for filaria.

Then we went for a walk in the area.

We went Joker Pet Care at Roppongi Hills.

I didn’t buy anything there but Choco met many friendly people.

He seems to have so much fun being out.

He starts enjoying walking!

I thought he needs his own resting place at the living room so I bought him a bed at Green Dog, Tokyo Midtown Roppongi.

He seems to love it!

Yes, he had an exciting day.

Sleep well.

Sleeping with Choco

Posted on by sonokotchi

Typhoon was passing Tokyo area last night and the strong wind was making loud noise hitting windows.

I could see Choco was uneasy so I decided to sleep with him.

My bed is yet to be delivered so I brought cushions of couch.

I thought I could calm him down if he could see me from his cage.

He looked happy seeing them lying on the floor.

When I asked him to go to “House”, he looked at me innocently as if he doesn’t understand me.

He might not understand my command, but he usually goes in understanding it’s his bed time.

I asked him to go to “house” for a while and I gave up.

I asked him to go to pee and poo at his toilet tray in the cage and he kept his promise.

I was woken up few times by noise of wind, but he was quietly playing with his toy at the edge of my comforter.

He wasn’t afraid of noise; he looked happy instead.

When I woke up this morning, it was nice and sunny.

Today, the temperature is expected to reach 32C.

Just 4 days ago, the temperature was low as 17C.

The weather has been crazy in Tokyo. Sigh

Choco’s First Shampoo

Posted on by sonokotchi

A strong Typhoon 24 is approaching Tokyo.

I was hoping somebody will cancel grooming today so that I can get a slot.

I was so happy when I received a call at 11 am today for 3 pm slot.

I happily took it; but there was a catch.

The store, Green Dog, is located at Tokyo Midtown Roppongi, a shopping complex.

Usually shops are opened till 9 pm.

However, today Tokyo Midtown Roppongi decoded ti close at 5 pm.

Perhaps, because JR (Japan Railway: major train operator) decided to stop operation at 8 pm.

Customers and even staffs won’t have transportation to go back home after 8 pm.

This is very unlikely for Tokyo to shut down train because of typhoon.

As such, Choco won’t be able to finish his hair cut.

He got shampoo, nail care, ear care and some hair cut, just to cut unnecessary long hair around eye and mouth area.

Though this is his first time, he looked he was doing okay.

But if I look carefully; his body was shaking.

Unfortunately, it’s incomplete.

You will look more handsome on Thursday.

I bought you more toys (well, it’s more replacement because he ruined toys) and food.

You deserve these for being Good Boy.

Refreshing Saturday

Posted on by sonokotchi

To my surprise, I woke up feeling VERY fresh.

My body was over tired from event last week and I participated B-Monster last night.

BUT I woke up VERY fresh.

I think B-Monster contribute to detox mentally and physically greatly.

I highly recommend B-Monster.

As long as loud EDM music is played, I can keep on jumping. hahaha

I took precautious measure so I went to spa for a maintenance today.

On the other hand, Choco had a play mate for three days because Mom stayed with us two nights.

He was busy playing not having enough sleep so he is busy catching up sleep.

Typhoon 24 is approaching Japan and it might hit Japan from south to north tomorrow.

We are warmed to stay in tomorrow.

Both of us (Choco and I) plan to relax at home tomorrow.

Exposing Choco

Posted on by sonokotchi

It was Choco’s class.

He must be tired after the lesson; I was. LOL

He doesn’t like to wear the harness so I started the class with struggle.

He and I tried and experienced many things.

After the class, he drank water busily.

I want him to learn that harness brings him fun; when he wears it, he can go out together.

It is Autumn and harvest festival season.

When I went out to get groceries, I saw Omikoshi (people carry God’s temporary shrine or shall I call it Car); I rushed back home to put harness on him then went down.

After watching Omikoshi, I put him down to a walk.

First, he didn’t move.

It took him a while to start walking for few meters.

Yes. Surely he was tired; we took a nap together at the couch.

At night, I took him to a walk again.

I hope he would become to like wearing the harness soon.
