I plan to take a short vacation to go to Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland)!!!
Let’s start getting ready!
I bought new mobile accessories for this trip: wide lens, thin carrying mobile case enabling to clip a wide lens, AC adapter with 4 USB ports and extra power bank♪
I need to check internet accessibility…. hummmm
I met my schoolmate for lunch today.
We are friends since Junior High School.
We talked like we were still teenagers. 5.5 hours!!! Non-Stop!!!
We also enjoyed nice Hiroshima local food, Taichazuke (Red Snapper with Soup).
This way is Hiroshima way of enjoying Red Snapper.
This restaurant, Ochi Kochi, serves all Hiroshima specialties.
The restaurant is located at B1 Floor of Tau Hiroshima antenna shop where we can also shop Hiroshima products.
Hiroshima is located southern Japan, famous for oysters, lemons, etc.
I bought a Sake Zoka; it’s sweet and fruity♪
I didn’t know I’ve been supporting Hiroshima by purchasing various Hiroshima products such as lemon juice.
You can tell that I didn’t buy it today because the bottle is empty!!!
We continued to talk at Starbucks.
We both enjoyed a seasonal drink, Baked Cheese Cake Frappuccino.
Thanks for being my good friend!!!
I look forward for our next girls chat! XOXO
I’m disappointed.
I thought today would be my last visit to the dentist.
I’ve been visiting my dentist for many times already.
I started visiting my dentist because my filling/cover for a cavity came out.
I needed to visit for each steps: cleaned it and put the temporary filling; treated it, took a mold and put the temporary filling; placed the filling/cover and checked the condition of the new filling/cover (a total of four times).
When I came back for checking on filling/cover after installment, he told me I have a cavity.
I went back for cleaning, treating & taking a mold and installing my filling/cover for my cavity for a different tooth (a total of three visits).
After he finished installing a filling/cover for my cavity today, he told me I need to start treating a root that causing inflammation to my gum.
He needs to take out my filling/cover and check the root next time.
I asked about a bump on my gum when he started the cavity treatment and he explained to me about the cause, inflammation.
If he knew he needs to treat it, why can’t he just treat it together with other teeth?
I need to go back again for each steps again. Sigh.
I asked my dentist, what else do I need to treat?
He told me I would be fine after treating my root.
I don’t mind to pay fee for double, eventually I’ll pay for the whole treatment.
But I do mind that I need to go back many times to complete the treatment.
Because train ride consumes more time than treatment time!! Boo hoo.
I had a craving for KFC.
Perhaps, many of you disagree with my tag: Health.
If this can make you happy, it’s okay to enjoy once in a while, right?
I had Korean BBQ dinner with friends.
They made me laugh so hard so that I forgot to take a photo of nice dinner. hahaha
Eating Japanese wagyu beef in Korean BBQ style is popular among Japanese.
Do you know that a popular dish, beef tongue, was innovated by Japanese and now it became a popular dish in Korea?
It was time to refill my shampoo and conditioner bottles.
It became a common practice to refill shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hand soap, detergent, etc. in Japan.
I think this is a good practice to reduce garbage; simultaneously manufacturers can keep their consumers loyal to their products. hummmm
If a product can satisfy a consumer, it would easily win consumer’s loyalty. Well, I am.
I like this Asience series which is designed for Asian hair.
I salute Kao’s product development team because this is another Kao product that I use daily…
It is rainy season in Japan. Sigh.
It is difficult for me to keep a nice hair style during rainy season with high humidity because my hair will spread. Boo hoo.
KERASTASE hair oil helps me to control my hair style.
I usually curl with Panasonic electric curlers and sometimes use hair clips.
Please behave good tomorrow morning so that I can start a day in a good mood.
Mom visited me after her long lunch with friends.
YES, I managed to punch out at five!! YES, I DID IT!!
I could be rude to my boss today by giving attitude, “I am busy at this moment”. hahaha
After our dinner, our regular session started.
I regularly check Mom’s mobile and apps.
If it’s necessary, I download, update, and organize apps, then teach till she feels comfortable to operate alone.
First, it required me TIME and PATIENCE. PATIENCE!
I don’t think I was a good teacher then, but she didn’t give up because she was having fun with apps.
After realizing how happy she looks when she uses her apps that can satisfy her curiosity and keep her connecting to her friends, I enjoy teaching her.
Her favorites apps are LINE (chat apps with many stamps (icons/characters)), few translation apps and You Tube.
My favorites are LINE (it’s widely used and necessity among Japanese), WhatsApp, Facebook (mainly to check on friends), the Wisdom, Google Translation, Camera, LINE Camera, FrameUrLife, MOLDIV, Pic Collage, MyFitnessPal & RecStyle (since yesterday), Pinterest, Kindle, Jango and WordPress!!!
What’s your favorite Apps?
Taking a breakfast is important to start a day; however, I’m usually busy getting ready for work.
So this is my regular breakfast: TKG (tamago kake gohan).
This is a simple dish, a raw egg over rice. (I eat with brown rice.)
The preparation is simple, but there are many fans.
There are branded eggs and specialized eggs for TKG.
There is a specialized soya sauces for TKG as well.
These days I use Konbu soya sauce (seaweed soya sauce).
It’s very nice,
It’s not salty; it has nice umami flavor (5th taste).
These days I like to add Suguki (one of three major Kyoto pickles) as topping.
It is delicious♪
After work, I arrive home hungry.
I usually cook for dinner and lunch for my lunch box.
To ease my evenings, I decided to spend few hours to cook.
(Dashi (stock for miso soup and basic Japanese food), pumpkin in dashi flavour, miso soup, red snapper in soy sauce flavour, boiled spinach, bean sprout and egg in oyster sauce flavor and mashed pumpkin.)
And another thing…..recently, I found out that I could keep my clothes cleaner if I hand wash by myself.
I’m a lazy person, I often send my clothes to laundry service.
But the other day, I doubted its work when I received returned clothes.
I tried hand washing my jacket with Emal, detergent for clothes for dry-cleaning. (To my surprise, Emal is Kao’s product, too.)
I thought I am going to destroy my clothes, but….
I could not believe what I saw then, BROWN COLOURED WATER……?????
Tonight I washed my office pants…..I am not proud how it looks, but I thought I can share my surprise and this is the proof. Sigh…
Okay, I admit I hate ironing, but now I’m considering to buy a good steam iron.
The jacket look the same after ironing as if these were returned from the laundry shop.
