Perfume

Posted on by sonokotchi

No. 4711 – if I’m not mistaken, this Cologne, Germany’s eau de Cologne is the first eau de Cologne in the world.

I noticed name of the city is the name of the product!

The aroma is natural.

When I went to Cologne, I bought it as a souvenir some years ago.

This bottle is a souvenir from Mom when she visited Cologne last year.

I enjoy wearing it, but I finish.

Time to open a new bottle.

My friends are sweet to get me a souvenir.

I have few bottles of perfumes to choose from.


This time, I selected NINA RICCI L’EXTASE.

It’s sweet.

I put perfume in an carrying atomizer, allowing me to wear it anytime.

I can SMELL his love 24/7.

This is a gift from my boyfriend.

Confession 

Posted on by sonokotchi


I try to eat healthy, but I eat snacks, junk food and alcohol sometimes.

How many times did I say to myself, this is it!

It’s so difficult to lose 1 kg, but I can easily put 2-3 kg on.

I think I need to look for a new hobby to stop eating.

I want to welcome Spring in good shape.

Any suggestion?

Clinic Hopping

Posted on by sonokotchi

I had a dentist appointment today.

This new dentist is good.

He explained to me how important to floss and come for regular cleaning by showing my current condition of teeth. 

Scary…

I also went to dermatology at late evening.

The other day I went to dermatology in the afternoon, hoping to return home early; but I waited longer hours because there are many more patients: seniors and children.

I am right, I waited shorter today!

My Friday Afternoon

Posted on by sonokotchi

I attended a seminar from 2 pm to 5 pm; therefore, I needed to charge energy after the seminar.

Actually, I had a cake and coffee with a friend who also attended a seminar.

The seminar ended at 5 pm; I didn’t need to return to office so enjoyed having a coffee at the nice cafe in Marunouchi.



The seminar venue is nearby Tokyo Station.

Tokyo Station was opened in 1914, same as the Grand Central Station in New York.

Both celebrated 100th anniversary three years ago and these are sister stations.

Isn’t it beautiful?


On the way to my line, Marunouchi Line, I was greeted by Goku (Dragon Balls).

Kamehamehaaaaaaaaa!!!

Girls Night

Posted on by sonokotchi

I don’t have an occasion to go out with women only.

I was nervous even though we meet frequently every other week for arranging flower.

Last night, I bought a cheek to enhance my make up.


It’s a combination of natural look and it did enhance my look after I put it on.


Well, at least I thought so.

But nobody noticed my change; I curled up my hair, kept on wearing my suit after hours and applied additional make-up, cheeks.

I confessed my efforts and we laughed together.

A restaurant, IL Ritrovo @ Roppongi Hills, serves a Joshikai menu (Grils Gathering menu) for JPY 3,605.

The menu includes five main dishes (such as pizza and pasta), assorted dessert, tea or coffee and two hour free flow drinks.

It’s economical and delicious.




It was so much fun and I cannot wait for a next Joshikai (girls gathering)!!

A Card from the US

Posted on by sonokotchi

Today we communicate by electrically such as emails, SNS, etc.

But today, I received a card from the US.

It is nice to receive a message in analogue way; it expresses and delivers their thoughts louder.

I feel loved!  Thank you!

Binge-Watch Movie

Posted on by sonokotchi


I frequently binge-watch TV dramas, but TODAY I binge-watch movie at the movie theater. 

I started with ALLIED (Japanese title is Marianne).

The movie is scenic and beautiful.

It made me cried at the end…

I highly recommend to watch this movie even you are not a Brad Pitt fan.

I might look for a book to read the original story.


Then continued watching Japanese movie: Aibou (Partner).

This is a movie of TV series that have been on the air since year 2000!   

It’s showing season 15 on every Wednesday now.

Mr. Ukyo Sugishita is the main police character (detective) to solve difficult cases.

This time, he stopped a terrorists’ attack with his PARTNER; he always has a partner and this partner gets changed after few series. 

A leader of terrorists became a terrorist because he was abandon by the Japanese government during the WWII.

He is a bad guy, but I sympathy him.

I love movies♪

Greedy Night: Hiroshima-yaki Dinner and Massage

Posted on by sonokotchi

I had Hiroshima-yaki at Sanshou, Ginza for dinner.

Sanshou is located at the second floor of Hiroshima TAU: an antenna shop where we can buy Hiroshima local specialties.

Hiroshima-yaki is originated from Hiroshima, similar to Okonomiyaki (Osaka Culture), but it’s with noodle.

I had deluxe Hiroshima-yaki with oyster, squid, shrimp and pork.

A restaurant is simple, but food is delicious♪

My back was so stiff; Googled for massage and went to Roppongi Yuren.


Surprisingly, many Japanese celebrities visited this massage shop; these are their autographs.


The place is small, but clean and homey; customers kept on coming in.

I enjoyed 100 mins body and foot massage.


My massager is good; my body is light now.

Thank you, Mo-san!
