Book: Sea Creatures Watching 500

Posted on by sonokotchi

I ordered two books in Amazon: Fish Watching 500 and Sea Creatures Watching 500.

I received Sea Creatures Watching 500 today because Fish Watching 500 is currently out of stock.


Now I’m interested to learn names of fish and sea creatures so that I can introduce what I see under the water.


For example, I’ve seen these sea slugs such as yellow one and blue with polka dots (I should have seen it in Malaysia because the book says it can be found in Malaysia).

I never thought I would enjoy watching these encyclopedias….

Tomato Juice: Kantaro

Posted on by sonokotchi

Tomato Juice, Kantaro, arrived which I bought on Amazon.


It’s in glass bottle and looks nice on the photo.

I thought it’s a normal sized bottle, 1 liter or  bigger…?

But I received a small box.

There are many ????? in my head.

But it’s actually 180 ml bottle.

I took a photo with iPhone 6S.


It’s USD 6.5 per bottle (180 ml).

It’s not cheap.

I tried this tomato juice……it’s delicious.

It contains equivalent to 15 tomatoes’ nutritious factors; must be healthy.

It has to be!

Seriously, it’s delicious.

Would I buy it again?

I’ll think about it.

Once again, it’s delicious.

Action Camera: Vemico

Posted on by sonokotchi

I bought an action camera via Amazon yesterday.

I ordered online yesterday morning (about at 9:30 am) and reached me in the evening — within a day! 

I was busy last night attending flower arrangement class; therefore, I opened a box today.


It comes with a water proof housing for 40 m and it’s reasonable: JPY 6,000 (USD 60).

It takes 1.6 million pixels photos and 4K movies and it can connect to WiFi.

I will play with it tomorrow.
Hope to share good photos with you.

Today’s Shopping @ Amazon 

Posted on by sonokotchi

Yes, I pochi (press) again yesterday.

Today, I already received a package.


I opened a box…. ta-da!!!


I bought a 20,000 mAh power bank.

It’s heavier than I thought by actually holding 397g body; but it cannot beat the price: only USD 20 for 20,000 mAh!

This time, I’ll try not to spoil it.

Last time, I didn’t know that I need to charge and use it immediately.

When I brought it to my trip, it didn’t work…

This time, I will charge and test it!


This is my third time buying Moroccan Oil.

The other day, I bought small bottles for traveling.

This time, I’m buying a bigger bottle: 200 ml.

All women cannot live without hair care products and today, Moroccan Oil became a must item for my hair.

It came with a Moroccan Oil paper bag.

In Japan, a branded paper bag is equally important. hahaha


Lastly, I bought two boxes of 48 carbonated bath tablets – Kao’s Bub – in six aroma.

It’s consumable items (I already posted about Bub), I use one tablet every night when I bath; therefore, I bought two boxes to save delivery cost (free delivery).


Am I happy tonight?

YES!

Motivators

Posted on by sonokotchi

I bought these in Vegas: iPhone 6S Gritterly Case (I love gritterly things), iPhone Cover Power Bank, Wireless Headset and Speaker.

I don’t know I did buy them with a good price, but I’m happy with design and quality.

Now I’m motivating to go to gym by listening to upbeat music with a new headset.

It’s tough to keep the motivation…ahhhhhh

Shopping @ Bic Camera, Yurakucho

Posted on by sonokotchi

My hair curler died after returned from the U.S.

Today, I went to Bic Camera after office to buy my favorite Panasonic Hair Curler – the successor.




We cannot judge a retailer by its name.

Bic Camera was originally a camera shop selling cameras.

Today, it’s a retailer selling a wide range of products such as food, alcohol, mobile phones & accessories, PC, printers, electric household, beauty goods, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, etc.

This shop is fun to visit.

Trip to Mt. Fuji and Odaiba

Posted on by sonokotchi

My friend treated me a kebab for breakfast @ Asian Kebab, Roppongi.


I ordered Otsumami (snacks); this menu is Kebab meat and cabbage only (no rice or a pita bread).

It’s delicious and good portion.

I think I will take out this when I feel lazy to cook. hahaha


I took Chuo Highway to Mt. Fuji 5th Station.

We can go up to 5th Station by car.

There is a rest area to take a break and to admire Mt. Fuji. 


Rest area. 



Restaurant


The menu is displayed.


But purchasing meal tickets is challenging because words are written in Japanese. Hummm


I had a shaved ice.


There is a local Mt. Fuji Beer vending machine.

I bought one for my sourvenir.



If you run out Japanese yen, don’t worry.

There is a money changer machine for many currencies.

The service is better than ordinary banks.


I prayed Fujisan Komitake Jinjya (Mt. Fuji Komitake Shrine).




We can also admire a lake view.

I think this is Kawaguchiko (Kawaguchi Lake).


I enjoyed being ON the Mt. Fuji, but I struggle with a traffic jam. Ahhhh

It was 7 pm when we arrived Tokyo; therefore, decided to go to Odaiba for ocean view and dinner.



Kaisendon (Seafood Bowl) for dinner @ Genchan, Odaiba.


After getting energy, walked the area to enjoy night view of Tokyo Bay.





It is not my first time to post about Mt. Fuji and Odaiba.

Well, these are my favorite places; I will continue to post whenever I can to share the view of the day with you.

Sightseeing in Tokyo

Posted on by sonokotchi

I had a nice brunch at Eggcellent, Roppongi.

Everything is so eggy there.


Ta-dah!

I had a Beauty Bowl!


A coffee cup wished me a nice day.


Today, I went to sightseeing Tokyo: Shibuya, Omotesando and Ginza.

Today, I had fun visiting LINE Friends Store @ Harajuku, Tokyo.

There are three LINE Friends Stores in Japan: Tokyo, Sendai and Fukuoka.


It’s a LINE’a characters merchandise shop and we can also take a photo at Brown’s Room.

Interesting.

Trip to the US (Day 9)

Posted on by sonokotchi

This would be my last meal in the States… haaaaa


At last, I enjoyed my Peet’s Coffee at San Jose Airport. 

I will continue to enjoy it in Tokyo because I bought three packs. Yeah!


Time to go back to Tokyo… sob, sob, sob




I asked for an extra blanket (got it) and also gave me a cardigan.

I didn’t know ANA rent out a cardigan!


I started watching a movie: Hidden Figures.

This movie is highly recommended to watch; very encouraging how three women contributed for development of a space rocket.

Their passion even changed the society.


I had two lunches on the flight.

This was the first lunch; beef was nice and tender.

I asked for Japanese (warabi-mochi) and cake for deserts.


Then watched another movie: Gold.

This is also recommended; interesting story, unpredictable!


Your Name: this is Japanese animation movie.

I don’t know why, but I cried…


Then I enjoyed second lunch.

After second meal, it’s end of journey…
