Marron Glace Flavored Chocolate

Today, the weather is super nice. The high is 75F (24C)! It should be a nice day to take a walk at night.

Anyway, following rum cake flavored chocolate, I tried another newly-released LOTTE's Specialite: marron glace flavored chocolate. It was rummy and delicious, too!!! Damn! I can't stop eating... Bad for my acne X(

Anyway, I have an appointment for a flu shot this afternoon!

Then tonight, I'm going to see my friend from NY! Her boyfriend (Ted) is coming, too! They are going to see her parents for marital stuff!

Oops. I spent too much time browsing twitter "lists" stuff... I need to go back to work!!!

Happy Friday :D

Top of the Fuji

Hi! The weather today is nice again. The high is F70(C21). I still don't need to wear a heavy overcoat!

Days ago, my co-worker gave me a souvenir from Fuji mountain called "Fuji no itadaki (top of the Fuji)". It is a chocolate crunch shaped like Fuji mountain. The white chocolate on top looks like snow. Isn't it cool?! Most of the time, souvenirs are wrapped in pretty nice packages but don't taste good. However this chocolate was good!

Tonight, I have hula class again! I am going to get another pa'u skirt shortly. I want to get one for Christmas, but couldn't find any Christmas design :( Which do you think is cute?!


Bye for now!!!

To The Herbs

The weather today is nice again. I can't believe that freezing cold weather on the weekend! I wore a fleece jacket automatically!

On Sunday, we've been to To The Herbs to get some herb tea! It warmed us up and made us feel relaxed :) I had 4 deadlines due Monday, so my hands and brain were busy, though.

Like jose says, dining out is a good idea for couples being together for a long time. While dining, we can share our thoughts and ideas. In this way, we understand each other more. We kept on doing this for 6 years, so maybe this is why we are still together after anything. Mostly, I talked, so he knows me a lot. Ha-ha!

Peace!!!

Bistro AGuRi Shibuya

Last night, it was freezing cold and raining hard because of the Typhoon #20. Luckily, it passed away while we are sleeping, so we have clear blue sky this morning :D

Anyway, I am sorry for those who read my diary yesterday. I saved it as a draft since I made some people worry about us. I received some e-mail messages... I'm so sorry!!! We are doing fine. We just fight once in a while...

On Friday night, my boyfriend took me to a nice Izakaya called "Bistro AGuRi" in Shibuya. Their grapefruit sour with pulp was really delicious. I loved it's natural taste. Also, all dishes were simple but tasty! I liked the way they fully use the freshness of the ingredients. We had, salad, yakiniku, egg stir-fried tomato and fish sausage, and dumpling soup.

I have some more to write, but will continue tomorrow ;)

See ya!

DEAN & DELUCA

On Saturday, we went to DEAN & DELUCA for lunch. Their new panini (tomato, basil, and mozzarella cheese) was simple and great! I loved it!!! Also, we shared the crab sandwich and jambalaya which we had before. Yummy! Simple but made us happy :)

I took off my braces on that morning which I think made me eat things more happily!

Anyway, their "Super Premium Ice Cream" wasn't available on this day :( I remember someone said the same thing, but I love to eat ice cream when it's cold in a warm room. He-he!

P.S. tma, let me know if you need a recipe. I will translate it for you whenever I have time!

Lunch @ DEAN & DELUCA

Very once in a while, my boyfriend and I have a big fight and on Friday night it happened... I threw the first punch because I knew he's quick with his fists, but that was my big mistake. He returned me double... Fuck!!! He is sometimes crazy. I know I am naggy but I always say he shouldn't behave violently. (Reason I punched him is because there was a text message from a girl who called him by his first name! I hate him receive that kind of text in front of me, even if she is a friend. I don't feel good, you know?! The girl should understand the situation, too. She shouldn't depend on him, keep in touch, or say she wants to see him!)

Anyway, I am okay now. I just got angry because it was after that thing. We went to DEAN & DELUCA for lunch the next day. Their new panini (tomato, basil, and mozzarella cheese) was simple and great! I loved it!!! Also, we shared the crab sandwich and jambalaya which we had before. Yummy! Simple but made us happy :) I took off my braces on that morning which I think made me eat things more happily!

BTW, on Friday night, we've been to a nice restaurant. I will post about it soon, but no one knows what makes us fight!

Watch out!!!

P.S.
It is sometimes good to write my complaint on my post to get rid of stress! I will try not to do so, though.

Pepsi Azuki

This is something really weird!!! Again, Suntory (Pepsi's distributor in Japan) released a crazy seasonal Pepsi drink: Pepsi Azuki! It's a Pepsi with sweet and mild azuki bean flavor. Can you imagine the taste?! Ew! But it didn't taste like I imagined. It was simply funny soda with funny flavor. Something like cheap sweets! Of course I couldn't finish a bottle, so I shared it with my co-workers.

BTW other seasonal Pepsi flavors I tried are Pepsi Blue Hawaii and Pepsi Shiso.

Have a good weekend :)

Chocolate with Rum

What kind of chocolate do you like the best? I know jo likes chocolate with macadamia nuts ;)

I love chocolate with rum!!!

Recently, I tried newly-released LOTTE's Specialite: rum cake flavored chocolate. It was really rummy and delicious!!! It's only 2 bucks per bar. I know it aggravates my acne, but a bite makes me happy, you know!

Tonight I have a hula class, which makes me even more happy! I want to get another pa'u skirt soon for a change.

Aloha :-)

Stress Causes Acne!

Too bad. I've got many small acnes on my face recently and realized that they were caused by stress!!! Believe it or not, I lost 8lbs in 2 months...

My boyfriend said I can use the milk soap to wash my face. SOAP?! Anyway, I tried many stuff and they didn't work, so maybe I can try this, too for a while. Also, I am taking Vitamin C, B, etc... Hope everything goes fine. But I know I need to remove my stress first of all!!! Please be settled, my honey. Ha-ha.

I think I should take things easy!

Yakiniku @ Gyu-Kaku

Do you know Yakiniku?
It means "grilled meat" and it commonly refers to a Japanese style of cooking bite-sized meat (usually beef and offal) and vegetables on gridirons or griddles over flame of wood charcoals carbonized by dry distillation (sumibi, 炭火) or gas/electric grill.

On Saturday, my boyfriend and I've been to Gyu-Kaku, where offers cheap and tasty beef! It has been more than 3 years since we last went there! Actually, I don't eat offal, so I had beef galbi and beef skirt. Wrapping it with Sanchu leaf, rice, miso, and mayonnaise was really delicious! It's their original way of eating yakiniku :)

We dine out twice a week, which might be too much, but there are many restaurants we want to go! I think jose understands me. He-he!

Nice weather outside! I haven't been to the GYM for 4 straight days, so I should go tonight! See you again :)

Hawaiian Restaurant: Tsunami

On Friday, my boyfriend and I finally went to the Hawaiian restaurant called Tsunami. What was amazing was their menu! They have so many wonderful dishes! We had natto salad, chili meat tacos, hot chicken satay, grilled chicken, and omelette curry. Their Hawaiian drinks were fabulicious! I loved Aloha-hai, which is Hawaiian tea with shochu.

The weather on this day was nice and warm, so we enjoyed our dinner outside. Their Hawaiian goods and music were really healing. My heart was filled with happiness :) I wish I could feel like this all the time. I hate ups and downs.

Peace!

Hokkaido Cheese Chocolate

Hi there!

My co-worker gave me something really weird!
It's Meiji's Hokkaido Cheese Chocolate.

Processed cheese ripened and produced in Hokkaido is knead into dough! It is a new style with soft and rich tastes.

What do you think of this cheese flavored chocolate?!
To tell the truth, you can hardly realize the cheese flavor but it tastes like cheese if you know that. Funny!

Have a good one!
