Earthquake

Posted on by sonokotchi


Tokyo was just hit by an earthquake, Magnitude 5.0.

Yes, this is nothing new to us.

We’ve been hit by earthquakes for many years since I was little.

However, the shake has changed since March 11, 2011.

Before the March 11 2011 earthquake, it swayed sideways, but now it hits vertically. 

I don’t like this vertical earthquake.

Yes, the vertical quake reminds me of dark days; we were all sad and depressed.

Simultaneously, it reminds me the importance of family and friends.

I received a cheer-up message from many friends from the globe.

My friend in the US, she sent me a care package by FEDEX.

I appreciate family and friends.

Yes, I am a happy person❤️

Packing, packing, packing

Posted on by sonokotchi

I will accompany my boss to attend a meeting in Miyazaki tomorrow.

34

It would be my first trip to Miyazaki and I look forward to it, especially the excursion session♪

Now I’m packing for two nights and three days trip.

I have complex skin: sensitive, oily and hives.

I need to bring these Curel make-up cleansing gel and forming wash.

Curel series are for sensitive skin and it has proven with my skin. (^_^)

35

I usually bring Babu carbonated bath tablet, too.

You put this tablet when you are about to enter a bathtub.

The carbonated bubble will wrap your body to relax.

This carbonated bath tablet is innovated by Japanese company, Kao Corporation, so I could say this is Japanese way of taking a bath!

I just notice, Curel is also produced by Kao Corporation.

I didn’t know that I’m a Kao girl. hahaha

A Productive Day

Posted on by sonokotchi

In the morning, I went to Loft in Yurakucho.

Loft sells unique and functional products. It is a good place for window shopping.

Yes, I visited there for window shopping, but I ended up buying…a folding umbrella, a super wide lens and two sheets of nail stickers.

This umbrella is very compact and light; it will protect me from both rain and strong sunshine. The rainy season is approaching. We usually take public transportations, so we check a weather forecast before we go out. If necessary, we will bring a folding umbrella. That’s why it’s good to be small and light.

In addition, I bought a super wide lens for iphone for selfee, and two sheets of nail stickers. These are absolute necessities!

Then, I had a lunch. I grilled wagyu Chateaubriand and enjoyed with a glass of Maltese Cactus Liquor as aperitif. Kanpai (cheers)!

18

After lunch, I went to a beauty salon.

I was greeted by a cute pug, Roku-chan! She is surely a mascot for a beauty salon, isn’t she?

19

I thought my day would end after this….but there was a miracle!!!

I was at the right place at the right time.

I met my friends from Singapore on the street.

We tried to meet, but we couldn’t coordinate our schedules; BUT WE WERE FATED TO MEET.

We caught up at a Roppongi’s famous cafe, Almond.

I have a nice memory of Almond.

We spell it Almond, but we called this cafe AMANDO. I don’t know why.

I asked an American friend to meet me at AMANDO, but he couldn’t reach to the place.

I wondered because Almond is located at the main junction; it is hard to miss.

Then he told me, “this is not AMANDO, this is ALMOND”.

Then, I realized he was right.

Since then I always warn about this to my friends who are foreigners. hahaha

This cafe is famous for a ring cream puff.
