Choco had his spa yesterday.
Today, it’s my turn.
The entrance was nicely decorated by Ikebana Sogetsu Ryu (Japanese Flower Arrangement Sogetsu Style).
I opened an envelope that Mom brought.
I received Takashimaya Department Store Gift Card for 1,000 yen.
Lucky me!
My favorite is red wine.
I’ve waited for tonight’s wine lesson at Enoteca Marunouchi Lounge, Bordeaux Red Wines, but I was still sick.
I’ve been taking so many cough drops so I taste different from what it supposed to be.
I had to take warm drink (I regret not to bring hot water because Chinese tea in thermo has its flavor) to stop coughing.
I wish I was healthy to enjoy these.

It was body maintenance day for both Choco and I.
I went to gym for stretching.
I couldn’t exercise last month due to a cold, it was refreshing to move my body though it was only stretching.
Time to gear up!
I also took Choco for monthly care: grooming, nail, ear cleaning, etc.
He also had spa.
He posed for new year.
Choco, I didn’t know you can pose for camera.
You are full of surprises!
I assisted a business meeting in Ebisu, Tokyo.
Ebisu is one of Seven Japanese Gods and he represents success.
I’m pretty sure he will bring business as a result of today’s meeting.
We celebrated with Tendon (Tenpura Rice Bowl) at Tenya, Ebisu and Taiyaki (Sweet Bean in Red Snapper shaped waffle).
Tai (red snapper) is a symbol of good luck coz it’s rhyme Medetai (happy).
There are so many good signs!!
I assisted Mom for home party.
I had nice strawberries that one of the guests brought as a reward.
Japanese strawberries are very sweet!
Japanese are good at enhancing agricultural products.
Look at its size and shape!
I stayed in to clean up and to catch up with sleep and blog.
I was sick last month so I kept on sleeping and missed blogging.
That is why you see back dated blogs. Oops.
I totally forgot to blog about this.
My Choco tried Spa!!
He looks like Yoda!!!
So cute!

After Spa, his hair is fluffy!
I’ve been sick since 3 December 2018 because I was busy with work and private matters such as moving, hosting home parties and Christmas preparation; therefore, I get more sick.
I couldn’t stop coughing.
Finally, I went to see doctor for medicines because over- the-counter medicines, Loxonin is not working.
I was shocked to see the amount of antibiotics.
After taking medicines, I continued to assist Mom for table setting.
It was quite a work to prepare for ten but I managed.
After finishing preparation for dinner, I went to classic concert at Suntory Hall, Akasaka, Tokyo.
My parents gave me two tickets so that I can ask my friend to accompany me to kill time outside. hahaha
We had Thai for dinner at Kaaw, Ark Hills, Akasaka, Tokyo; nothing to do with Christmas.
My parents are scheduled to host dinner for ten next day.
I assisted Mom for decorating living & dining room, selected plates and glasses and went for groceries shopping.
Today is the day: last flower lesson at Keisen Flower School, Kamiyacho, Tokyo.
Arrangement brought me a smile even how badly tired, angry and sad I was.
Our age differ from each other; but we enjoyed arranging together.
I will miss MokuN (Thursday Night) classmates and Sensei badly.
I arranged my last flower arrangement (two sides) with another classmate.
We presented the gift and Sensei arranged in her arrangement.
I want Sensei (teacher) to open her class one day.
Sensei, PLEASE!
