Saving Paper


I stopped buying magazines.

But it doesn’t mean I lost interest in beauty, health and fashion.

I try to read them at the gym while I exercise.

In this case, I can save money, paper and space in my room, but able to obtain information♪

And finally my gym installed WiFi!

Gym is located in B1 (basement); therefore, 4G is out of reach.

I’m happy with a news.

I quickly registered password.

If we could use WiFi there, we can have more fun!

Foodie Report

Today, I had Kakiage Morisoba (mixed tenpura with cold soba) for brunch @ Sarashina Horii Sohonke, Azabu Juban.


This soba shop is always busy and with no exception, we waited for our table.

If you like soba, this restaurant is highly recommended.

It’s worth waiting!


I went to Wet Aging Beef Korean Barbecue, Nikugen @ Roppongi for dinner tonight.


American beef is aged to enhance its flavour and tenderness.

It’s different from Japanese wagyu beef; I looked at it as a skill.

Beef could be cheap but manage to enhance it by maturing it.

If you are so used to Japanese wagyu, you might not like it, but please consider this is a different beef!

Another uniqueness of this restaurant is recommending to grill beef for one minute by using an one minute hourglass.

But to be honest with you, some meat require more than one minute to cook.

We need to pay attention. hahaha

Book Review: The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

I finished reading this book today.

The story started slow, all about a lady with issues such as alcohol and relationships; it made me bored.

However, I continued reading it because its review is good and if I’m not mistaken, a movie will be made based on this story.

A story towards the end is very exciting: I love suspense, but I couldn’t guess a murderer.

I couldn’t stop reading it.

I hid my iPad to read on Kindle after my lunch hour (only for 30 mins) to finish a book. (I work over time, but I don’t get paid for over time so I do have an excuse for this).

Reading a book is a good exercise to improve my English.

I can kill two birds by one stone: I can learn English while having fun reading it.

Takuhai (Delivery) Box

I’m keeping my hair long.

However, my hair is thin so it’s easy to get waves when it’s moist.

The other day, I tried this KERASTASE Hair Oil for Colour-Treated Hair at a beauty salon; it’s heavier than other KERASTASE series, but lighter than Moroccan Oil.

I asked for one, but it was out of stock.

My beauty salon is just one block away so I asked them to deliver when a product arrive.

I received a product in Takihai Box (Delivery Box).

There are few delivery boxes at my apartment to leave a delivery box if a receiver is out.

A delivery person will leave a note to inform number of box and its combination to open a door

I usually come back home in the evening, so this Takihai Box plays a great role for me.

Ohanami (Sakura Viewing) Party@Satindoll, Nakameguro

Two weeks ago, I was here to enjoy gorgeous Sakura viewing at Megurogawa (Meguro River).

Today, Somei Yoshino is almost over.


But Yaezakura (double-flowered cherry blossom) are in the season.

Yes, I managed to Ohanami tonight.

I joined a gathering at Satindoll, Nakamegro.


I enjoyed Being with friends and eating delicious handmade food.

Master is a professional saxophonist and Mama san is a great chef.

They always welcome us with a warm hospitality. 

If you are looking for a place to enjoy food, drink and music, this is the place!

Docomo 

I visited Docomo (mobile carrier) shop to check my subscription status.

I waited my turn and it took me more than one hour to check my status.

I found out that I was charged monthly for TV, music and many more services which I called to terminate 18 months ago.

It cumulated USD 900.

Today, we are asked to check the status on the system to save paper and cost.

I thought I don’t mind it, but these additional services are listed at the very bottom which I overlooked.

Today, I asked a shop to send the statement by post. 

Ahhhhh, I’m not a digital person as I thought…..

Well, I was at Docomo from 3 pm – 6 pm. 

I had time to look around.

There are many key chains stuffed in baskets.


I thought these look cute and goofy.

I asked for one and got six. 


I plan to give these to my niece.

I hope she would like them.

Facial Mask: Gold with Iron Sands

I’ve been busy and I haven’t taken care of my face lately.

I also have sensitive skin so I have been refraining from doing too much.

I bought this facial mask while ago and it’s not good that I just let it sit to get spoiled.

It was okay when I tried it for the first time.

This facial mask is organic and unique.

It’s gold with iron sands.

I applied gold mixed with iron sands on my face for 10-15 mins and took out iron sands by a magnet.

The process of taking iron sands from face gives nice massage.

I should make it as a habit.
