I express my deepest sympathies for the disaster victims and may a lot of the victims rest in peace. And now, The only thing I can do is fund-raise. So, I collected contributions up to 55.000 yen with my husband. I hope this fund-raising will be of some help.

Yesterday...

Yesterday, I had a drinking party with my friends from my college days, because one of them visited Yokohama on business. I enjoyed the party as I hadn't seen them for a long time. And I might have got carried away, I ate some ramen at '一風堂' on the way back to home at one o'clock a.m.. I had absolutely gained weight....
This was the first time I went to eat at the shop, I didn't like that ramen very much! I can't agree that that ramen was 'Hakata tonkotsu'!!!

Today's dinner menu is healthy. ' steamed tai flavored with cherry blossom-salt', 'steamed clam using Japanese alcohol ' 'tai miso soup' and 'brown rice'.
The 'tai miso soup' tasted great good!

COSTCO

I played truant from keeping a dialy for two days...
Friday, we ate dinner at a beef  barbecue restrant, and yeasterday, we went shopping at COSTCO. We bought a lot of food such as a big cut of beef, 3kg of light and strong flour, spaghetti and some spices. There is one thing I've been wondering. A lot of people bought very expensive toilet paper at COSTCO. What are they?? What's the difference between expensive ones and normal ones?
And then, I went to a hair salon. I had my hair cut short!

Yesterday's dinner menu was 'temakizushi'. I don't eat 'normal' rice so much, but 'vinegared' rice is different...
I ate too much.....

I can't believe it!

Some time ago, a friend of my colleague came to see my colleague. The friend gave him more than ten CDs and DVDs of AKB48 ', which is one of the most popular groups in Japan these days. My colleague's friend asked him to give them away for him. They were still covered and new release CDs. I asked my coleague for the reason behind his friend s behavior.
His friend is crazy about AKB48 , so he bought a lot of the same CDs because he wanted to win some sort of ticket or something. He spent three hunred thousand yen on AKB48's goods over two months!! So, he gave away his remaining CDs.
I can't believe it...

Today's menu is a 'swordfish saute with lemon butter sauce', 'Bacon and asparagus spaghetti using soy milk' and 'marinated tomato and onion'.
