It's heart that counts.

Sunday, 11 May

So I had to go to India for work for awhile. I wasn't able to blog from there because I was so tired after work and depressed a little bit because I didn't have easy access to fantabulous non-indian food. On top of that, I was so hoping I'd run into a Bollywood type star and fall in love. That didn't happen. Now, I am back in Japan. I prefer Japanese food...Wow. Anyway, when I was grocery shopping (yes, I now grocery shop which I didn't because I have a man to fix dinner for but it's a long boring story so I will skip that detail) yesterday at this supermarket, I heard two kids chuckling and they came to me and asked "Is that white box on the top coffee?" and I said "Nope, that's creamer. What kind of coffee did you need?" They were 8 year old and 10 year old kids. Brothers. They told me they "secretly" came to the supermarket to pick up something for their mother on Mother's day. They looked so excited about buying a thing for their mother. They also asked "Do you think our mom would be happy if she got this?" And I smiled and said "Yes, but she'd be happy even if you got her a pocket tissue thingy. It's heart that counts." But I guess that was difficult for them to understand. I helped them get the coffee and they said "Thank you!" delightfully and ran away to the cashier. They were so adorable. I hope their mother was very happy today and should be proud of very well behaved considerate kids. It was one of the happiest moments to see this week. Yes, of course, I took my mother, grand mother, sister, and father to the traditional Japanese place for lunch today for Mother's day. A grown-up version of Mother's day costs a lot.... Anyway, happy brand new week! I hope i can blog more now.

so blahing....

Wednesday, 23 April

1...My computer at home was broken for awhile so I didn't update the blog unfortunately. If you still visit this site, stay tuned :)
2... Yesterday was Earth day, and this week is Earth week. What did you do to save this beautiful planet today? To be completely honest, I didn't do anything particular. But I didn't drive. I walked back home. I didn't vomit so I guess I didn't harm this planet more than I need to, today :)
3... I didn't know you are not allowed to get into Central Park in NYC at night. That was first. Not that I live there anyway but good to know.
4... My boss is really soft spoken and quiet. Sometimes, it's very difficult for me to catch what he is saying as his voice is very silent. I am not the only one who says this. Anyway, today, I asked him if he'd approve my purchase for hearing aids. Dude, that was a joke. Chill. But I am so sure he is going to be not nice to me tomorrow :-(
5... There are way too many limited edition KitKats here. This is the current one. Soybean Flour. Soybean Flour is widely used for Japanese sweets or so. This was actually good. Wait a minute, was I not supposed to be on diet for the next 10 weeks? huh...
You have a fantabulous week!

Covered with Sakura (Cherry Blossoms)

Sunday, 6 April


So I went to Kyushu (The west region of Japan about 500 miles west of Tokyo) where there are lots of hot masculine guys. haha. I went there with my friends to see beautiful Sakura (Cherry Blossoms) and drink local liquor (Japanese white liquor called "Shochu") I am glad it was a fine day and it was so beautiful. I was speechless. I hope you get the idea of how speechless I was. A friend of mine took this photo without any filter!!! Anyway, spring greetings from Tokyo, Japan! Have a wonderful week!

My usual stop in Europe

Tuesday, 25 March


So I talked about Amsterdam and shared some things here on this blog. There is nothing new for this post actually. But let's face it. It's all about "non-exciting". Now, I am unpacked and am ready to go back to that sad work place. I wish you a wonderful week!

Food travel? sorry...

Sunday, 23 March

I know Jon would hate this post so much but I seem to talk about food too much. For the record, I don't wanna do food critic thingies because everybody has a different taste. One thing s/he thinks good about may not be good for another. But I just enjoyed it so I thought I'd share. Yeah. I seem to talk about food so much.... Sorry. Have a good weekend!

Non-exciting blahs. Could be boring.

Tuesday, 18 March

I cannot help but wish for world peace every morning when I read a news paper. And I look up the sky and see the beautiful sunset. This was when I was walking from one of our company's stores to the headquarters. Sure it's not as beatiful as the one I saw in Mont St. Michel last year but I still find this sunset in Tokyo still beautiful. Well, the sun is a little higher but we cannot really see the horizon in the middle of the city :) Here are some boring thoughts for this week so far.
1... So on my way to the office, there is this construction site. Currently, they are doing exterior work. And everytime I pass it by, I tend to inhale deeply to capture the essense of the smell. Thinner. But this is my secret pleasure. I don't tell anyone because I don't wanna sound like a thinner addict. or am I?
2... The spring is around the corner and it will be a few weeks until we get to see the most beautiful time of the year in Tokyo. It's so romantic that Japanese traditional sweets around this time of the year have petals of cherry blossoms. Pink. (They are perfectly modified for food and they are clean for the record.) I like pink. I should wear something pink. I haven't lately! I am in a fashion apparel company where there are a lot of weird looking people with wierd decorations so I won't look weird compared to those people :)
3...BTW, in college, I wanted to study astronomy but I didn't becuase the more I learn about astronomy, the more I get scared. Because it makes you feel your life is a nanosecond. Yeah, I am a weirdo and geeky. :-( Have a wonderful week!

Have a fantabulous week!!!
