I cannot stop following new colour or limited edition of CHANEL.
I surely use these Spring/Summer limited edition collections: eye shadows and a glittering brown mascara.
I love glitters.
I was worried that these limited edition would be out of stock; therefore, I bought them at the selected shop, Fruit Gathering, at Roppongi Hills where I was just walking by.
The shop sells various selected cosmetics brands so I received a sample of Dior’s DIORSNOW.
Due to increasing number for new case by recording record high, Japanese government plans to announce the State of Emergency for Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama and Chiba tomorrow effective from 8 January – 7 February 2021.
I am hoping boss to allow us to work from home.
In fact, I can work efficiently at home.
It’s getting cold, winter in Japan; therefore, it is getting harder for me to come out from a warm bed to go to office.
I visited the headquarter of NEC Corporation, a leading Japanese electric company, and had a tour at NEC Future Creation Hub.
The company was established in 1988 and has over 120 years of history.
This earlier PC was developed together with Bill Gates…..
Today, NEC is famous for face recognition machines.
Their products are currently installed at local and overseas international airports.
The company is Gold Sponsor for Tokyo Olympics and will support the event by installing their facial recognition machines with body temperature checking function.
I’ve experienced most cutting edge technologies which we would surely use in our daily life in near future.
It was a fun visit and proud to introduce this Japanese company: NEC Corporation.
The first Toranomon Hills (Tower) was opened on 11 June 2014.
This is my first visit to Toranomon Hills.
Therefore, this is my first to meet Toranomon.
The second tower, Toranomon Hills Business Tower, was recently opened on 11 June 2020 and there would be additional two Toranomon Hills tower for residential and station by 2022.
I went to Toranomon Yokocho where 26 restaurants are located in a block or one floor.
We hopped restraints to enjoy few dishes.
We had pork skewers at Torishige.
Torishige
There is a distiller for gin: Sake Shokudo Toranomon Joryusho (Liquor Restaurant Toranomon Distiller.
I had Mojito, and
Gifu Lavender Gin
If you want to have varieties of bites; this would be a place.
She is a great guide!
She also took me to one of iconic public arts: 10 m high sculpture “Roots” by Jaume Plensa.
My friend gave me two (2) movie vouchers valid only at the movie theatre near my place – Toho Cinemas Roppongi.
The original validation date was 31 May 2020; however, the movie theatre was closed during the State of Emergency (8 April to 25 May 2020) therefore the validation date automatically extended to 31 July 2020.
Unfortunately, major movies postponed the showing date in later year such as 007 in November; therefore, I had to select a move from available movies.
I like an action movie so I decided to watch “Rambo – Last Blood” on 30 July 2020.
It was the last day of showing; therefore, it was showing only at the last show time of the day (9:30 pm – 11:25 pm).
I regretted to go alone to watch this movie at late night at isolated cinema – there were only seven (7) of us occupying a cinema.
I should have gone with a buddy because I needed somebody to calm me down after watching this movie – too much sorrow and pain.
I also reserved to watch Nausica – Princess of the Wind Valley (official English Title is “Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind”) on the following date on 31 July 2020.
The Toho Cinema was showing four Ghibli Movies – Nausica, Mononoke Hime (Princess Mononoke), Sen to Chihiro no Kami Kakushi (Spirited Away) and Gedo Senki (Tales from Earthsea) – for providing opportunities to watch these masterpieces once again at the movie theatre.
I wanted my space when I watch this movie (again, there were seven (7) of us); therefore, I reserved the first movie of the day (9:20 am – 11:30 am).
I know the movie and it’s story; nonetheless, it was nice to watch Nausica with a big screen.
This is my favorite Ghibli Movie with a sentimental value.
Thank you my friend!
Originally, we had a different plan – watching Frozen 2 together; however, the situation didn’t allow us to do so.
Let’s plan something together when the situation is better.
Well, I didn’t waste them and I enjoyed watching two movies!
Today, after expiring my subway commuter pass on 15 May 2020, I didn’t renew my pass and started walking to the office.
The rainy season is over so it’s VERY HOT in Tokyo now; therefore, I need a backpack to carry many more new necessaries to the office.
These are new necessaries in addition to normal etiquettes things such as tissue, cosmetics for retouch, hand cream, wallet, cough drops and eco bag.
Evian, Body Wipe, Perfume, Cooling Towel, Ice Packs, Change (Top/Clothes)Umbrella for Both Rain and Sum, Lunch with Lunch Bag (Thermo), Hand Towel, Handkerchief, Wireless Headphone, Extra Mask and Sanitizer.
As I mentioned before, I had vouchers from ANA which I can use them to dine and purchase at ANA Intercontinental Tokyo.
I cannot get change from the voucher; therefore, I paid the balance the other day and returned to the hotel to spend the balance of voucher: JPY 5,000 (USD 50).
I went to a Sophisticated French Pastry Shop: Pierre Gagnaire Pains et Gateaux.
First, I asked for a box of Chocolates and four flavours of Macarons.
When I was about to make a payment at the cashier, I was informed that a shop is offering 20 percent discount till 31 July 2020.
I saved JPY 1,257 (USD 12.5) which allowed me to buy am additional short cake (strawberry cream cake).
It’s fun to open boxes….although I bought them myself and knowing what are inside…
I was wondering what to eat lightly to enjoy these. Hummmm
Well, I had the best dinner: eggs, flour, milk (cream), grapes and some guilty sugar. (Some..!?)
