We need to face this to check on our body temperature and wearing a mask to enter movie, gym, etc.
New Normal: Admission

My First Uber Eats
Boss wanted to treat us McDonald for lunch.
It’s hot outside so he asked me to order delivery.
Well, I want to eat my food when it’s freshly made so I’m not a delivery person.
I rather cook during the Stay Home Period though I crossed many delivery persons then and even now.
I needed to start with downloading the app.
McDonald engages two delivery services: Mc Delivery and Uber Eats.
Since it’s Mc, first, I registered on McDelivery.
When I tried to request for a delivery, I found that our office area is not covered by McDelivery which is understandable because many offices are located in our area, Ginza.
Then I continued registering on Uber Eats.
I received few errors on payment because I wanted to pay by cash but the system only allows payment by credit card which is also understandable because the Uber Eats delivery person might have faced issues on change (small coins).
Finally, I managed to order our food by Uber Eats.
After installing apps and understanding the system, I’m ready to order delivery via apps.
I understand the convenience of service; however, I still want to dine at restaurants or shops, or cooking at home after experiencing it.
Am I an old fashioned person? hahaha
New Normal: Webinar
Today, it’s difficult to organize physical seminars.
I was a project officer to co-organize a recent webinar with a law firm.
My Boss was happy with arrangements, presentations and quality of participants.
I coordinated with the co-organizer to prepare invitations, eFlyers, ZOOM Background, etc, prepared the Boss” presentation material and invited participants.
It was a new and interesting project and this would be a new normal of seminar style.
This is my first time to see the real ACTRESS LIGHT.
We call this, “ACTRESS LIGHT” because this is a must item for an actress to enhance face texture and look of beauty.
The law firm was happy with the outcome so we all happily enjoyed chatting with nice puddings, cup cakes, fruit and coffee after the webinar.
Now I know what needs to be done so if there is a next time, I could arrange smoothly.
New Normal: Movie
Tokyo lifted Tokyo Alert and moved businesses to Step 3 on 12 June 2020 (allowing more businesses to reopen such as Karaoke Box) and schedule to allow all businesses to restart on 19 June 2020.
Movie theatre was allowed to reopen on 1 June 2020 when Tokyo shifted Businesses to Step 2.
Accordingly, Toho Cinemas Roppongi opened on 5 June 2020.
It would be nice to watch an action movie, ANNA (Russian KGB Spy Movie) on the big screen.
However, we I learned that there are new normals for watching a movie as well.
The seats are parted by one seat in between.
Even we go in a group, we need to sit according to seating arrangement; we cannot sit next each other.
There are many more NEW NORMALs at the movie theatre to practice.
At the ticketing counter, of course, operated machine is one machine a part.
When we enter, our body temperature would be checked by the thermometer which requires to face the monitor.
Well, I didn’t know every 14th of the month is TOHO CINEMAS DAY so that we can watch a movie for discounted price of JPY 1,200 or USD 12. (Normal Price is JPY 1,900 or USD 19)
The movie was thrilling and breath catching.
It’s nice to watch a movie at the movie theatre.
New Normal: SNS
Today, many Japanese participate in politics and social issues via SNS, mainly by Twitter.
It is great to know that many of us from various generations have shown interest in politics and social issues.
I’m not a Twitter person because I want to share more than a tweet.
However, one day I might want to participate it so I created an account because Twitter is a major influencer and player in Japan for opinions.
Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Tik Tok and LINE are also influencial in Japan for other targets and purposes.
In order for me to comment freely on SNS; I should take actions as well.
I went to the vote for the election of Minato Ward Mayor.
Portable Cage for Choco
This is portable cage that I bought it from Amazon.
I can fold it to carry it around.
I’m glad to know that Choco can relax in there.
Now I don’t hesitate to plan over night trip with Choco. fufufu
Protecting from Flu
I’m not feeling well for nearly a month now.
I start using these to comfort and protect me from flu.
I have sensitive skins so I don’t like to wear a mask.
However, it prevents me from virus and I really need to avoid virus because I’ve been continuously catching it.
First I was diagnosed virus flu followed by virus gastroenteritis.
I’ve been buying masks from various manufacturers.
To my surprise, it doesn’t hurt my ear nor damaging my skin.; the mask has improved I guess.
Some masks are designed face to look smaller.
Looking at my condition, wearing mask will become my daily routine.
I bought a box of mask which has three layers of filter to block house dust, pollen and PM 2.5.
These are in individual pack which allows me to carry one extra in case I need to change it.
I also bought Ryukakusan.
Ryukakusan is name of product as well as company name.
Nowadays I buy their herbal medicated cough drops.
My friend recommended me their original powdered herbal medicines for throat.
According to her, she takes it whenever she feels any irritation at the throat.
I tried it for the first time and I agree it works directly and more effectively.
I have never shown interest in this traditional product which has been aiding throat for 200 years.
I didn’t even know the drugstore sells this traditional medicated powder. hahaha
I bought the smallest size (20 g) for trial and also to carry it if effective.
It so cute that it contains a small spoon.
And my spa beautician made and gave me lavender body milk lotion.
According to her, lavender has sanitation effect.
So sweet of her to add lavender essence to body lotion.
Yes, when I felt worse, I should have massage my body to increase blood flow to fight back virus.
And lastly, I bought this Egyptian mint essential oil when I visited Egypt last year knowing my throat is weak.
I should burn Egyptian mint oil with Egyptian aroma burner to comfort my throat.
I should practice all these to get better or even not to get sick!
Saved by Apple Watch Cellular
Usually I carry iPhone with me so that even I use Apple Watch Cellular, I don’t utilize its function as Cellular fully,
Today, I forgot to bring iPhone with me; therefore, my Apple Watch suddenly weighted importance and became my life saver.
Today, I appreciated it very much!
My Favorite Stationery: Frixion Ball Point Pen and Highlighter by Pilot
Frixion Ball Point Pens and Highlighters by PILOT.
I love these stationeries which allow me to erase letters and lines by friction.
These stationeries can enlighten my work.
I want Olympic Tickets!
Coca-Cola Japan is one of official Olympic supporters.
I might be able to get Olympic tickets by participating in their promotion programme.
I can save one point by scanning a barcode of product using Coke On App.
I need 12 points to apply for a pair tickets for Olympic; however, I can get one point per day.
Let’s try it!
