Calorie Hunter

Last night, I attended the new class called "Calorie Hunter" after the regular hula dancing class at the gym. You dance Latin, hip-hop, house, and whatever dance for non-stop 45 minutes! People at the gym say you just simply follow an instructor, but for no joke, I am not a dance person, so I couldn't follow the instructor at all X( I think I burned my calories in a cold sweat... I'm not sure weather to attend it again (try out new a new thing) or not.

Anyway, the new hula dancing song is Kaimana Hila! I can't wait to complete it :D

This weekend, my darling and I are going to fly to Nagasaki and take a bus (2.5hrs!!!) to visit Hirado city. We are using the hotel vouchers which I won at the Dutch food contest! Then I am thinking of renting a car to do sightseeing in Ikitsuki (very northern part of Nagasaki). I haven't driven a car for ages in Japan, so I hope I can make it back alive!

I am planning to take the video of the previous hula this weekend there. So, hopefully, I'll post it at YouTube by next week!

Stay tuned!!!

American-style Coupon

Last weekend, when we shopped at a supermarket called Ito Yokado (maybe for the first time in a couple of years), an American-style coupon came out from the cash register! This brings back memories in the U.S. :)

Some supermarkets have membership cards for key rings, which I guess is an idea from the U.S. as well!

Anyway, low temp but we are finally having a sunny day today!

Happy Friday :D

BTW, yesterday, I realized that blogger has changed it's editting mode... I gotta get used to it...

Beautiful Blogger Award

Thank you for the Beautiful Blogger Award, jose! It was interesting to read more about you! I think it has been already almost 2 years since I know you online! Don't you think it's amazing?!

The rules are here. I would say anyone who stopped by and writes a blog can be awarded to this Beautiful Blogger Award :D

1. Thank the person who gave you this award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Pass the award along to 15 bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic.
4. Contact the bloggers you've picked and let them know about the award.


7 things about me:

1) I love Fuchsia Pink. I tend to buy things in this color without hesitation.
2) I don't aggressively enlarge my circle of friends, because I am not sure whether I can keep in touch with all of them or not. Am I a perfectionist?! Ha-ha!!!
3) I still keep school text books... I just can't throw them away X(
4) I run online shops at work, so on the workdays, I use Internet for more than 8 hours! Jeez!!!
5) I always shop at Shibuya 109! I seldom shop at other stores.
6) I love granola bars! I eat one per day!!!
7) I seldom work overtime. I think I do overtime once in a half year!

Today, we are finishing up the hula for this term! I will post the dance soon on You Tube :D

Bye for now!

Fuchsia Pink Nails

I used to keep my nails very short because I cook. But too short nails sometimes dry my skin between the nails and my skin chaps, so I tried not to clip my nails that often.

Then last night, I realized my nails were very long since I was busy recently! I was going to clip them all but they were nicely long without any crack, so I colored them fuchsia pink with sparkles!

Actually, the color is too loud, so I don't like what I have done to my nails... You know those colors look bad when they start to rub off. I should have used only sparkles...

Anyway, I would say to myself just for a change!

See ya!!!

How to Apply False Eyelashes

I did eyelash extensions for a year, but I found them very inconvenient since it takes time to wash eye area and need to fix them (go to salon) once in 2 weeks when your lashes came off! Also, they are 100 times expensive than false eyelashes!!!

If you use Daiso's false eyelashes, it costs only a dollar! Of course, you can use them for several times until it broke!

Here I'll explain you how I apply false eyelashes! This is my way, but I hope you find it informative.

Before you start:
Daiso's eyelash adhesive stays well, so I prefer to apply them after the makeup. Be sure to turn off the air conditioner because you don't want to let the adhesive dry too much!

#1. Get your eyelashes:
I think this is the most difficult part! I bought more than 20 different kinds of eyelashes and found this Daiso #16 looks perfect on me.



#2. Cut the eyelashes:
If the lashes are wider than your eyes, cut inner eye side of the lashes. I cut in this way because my eyes look lengthwise bigger. Also, I want to space out a little bit at the inner eye side because my eyelashes tickle my face. (Please see the image of procedure #4.) Remember to test them by holding them on your eyelid and see how well they fit across your lid. Then cut a little at a time.

#3. Put eyelash adhesive:
Squeeze eyelash adhesive a little bit and lightly slide the eyelashes along it. Just a little touch will draw a perfect glue strip. Then let the adhesive become tacky (this only takes about 20 seconds).

#4. Apply false eyelashes:
Over the eyeline you drew, start applying your false eyelashes from the inner eye side, make sure you space out a little bit, press and hold the false eyelashes as close to the eyeline as possible.

To finish up, apply liquid eyeliner over both to fill any gaps between the false lashes and your natural lash line. I don't use mascara but you can use it over the false eyelashes if needed. This will bond the false lashes with yours.

When you remove, gently pull your false eyelashes off. By the end of the day, Daiso's eyelash adhesive gets loose so it won't hurt you!

To use your false eyelashes again, peel off the glue.

Practice makes perfect! You will find your own way soon!

Good luck :D

Stuffed Toy Faces

This is something weird but I always pick out a stuffed toy out of bunch! I think their faces are all different, so I take time to select mine! My darling says they are all the same, though... What do you think?!

This morning, I saw on TV that high school girls select their own Shellie May (Duffy's friend) at Tokyo Disney Sea, so they reminded me of myself! BTW, I have been to neither Tokyo Disney Land nor Sea with my darling!!! Maybe I can go there with him for the next date :D

Sleepy Thursday! Coffee time! See ya!!!

Il Giorno Della Mimosa

On 3/8, I did few hours overtime since I couldn't finish my work! I really wanted to go home early, so I was pretty frustrated about it. However, my darling was waiting for me at the train station, gave me a bunch of mimosa, and thanked me! I wasn't sure what it meant, so I was still feeling emotionally stressed. Then he explained me that in Italy men give the bunch of mimosa to women as a sign of thanks on 3/8!

By the way, 3/9 is thank you day in Japan. We read the number three "san" and nine "kyu", so that is why.

Anyway, my darling reminded me to thank people at any time!

Thank you :D

Splash!!!

Yesterday evening, I was somehow dizzy and I thought I caught a cold but after taking a cold medicine and dancing hula, I got well and stayed up late till 2 am. Then this morning, I woke up early in high spirits! I thought it's going to be a good day but things happened right after I finished my eye makeup...

I tried to put the glue on my false lashes, but the glue was clogged and it didn't come out. So I squeezed the tube from the bottom... then guess what happened! All the glue popped out from the tube and splashed me in my left eye!

What the heck!!!

My foundation... my eye shadow... my double lines...

I fixed my eye but my mood is gone... you know...

Then another splash in the kitchen. While I was pouring soymilk, it splashed out from the blender... Then another one again! An automatic soap dispenser splashed while washing my hands at work. Hope this is the last one...

BTW, "splash" reminds me of my favorite mermaid movie. Have you ever seen it before?! It's a romantic story. Hope I could have a chance to watch it again.

Anyway, have a safe day!!!

False Eyelashes

This morning, I read jose's blog and I was thinking what my obsessiveness is... Then, jo commented on my blog and realized I am obsessed with false eyelashes!!!

My darling aways stops me of getting new ones, but I feel somewhat relieved to stock them up, you know!

My favorite ones are sold at 100yen (a dollar) shop called Daiso! They are cheap but amazingly useful! #16 is my favorite :) But sometimes they are sold out, so I need to get them whenever they are available. Thus, when I find them, I buy a large amount! BTW, I tried many other brands and expensive ones, but they were not that good, so I'm sure I would still like to use them for a while!

It's a given, so I forgot about recipe contests, but they are my obsessiveness, too!

Time to go! See you :D

Wheeled Carry On Luggage

When I make a short trip, I always carry too much luggage with me... so I am thinking of getting a wheeled carry on luggage! My darling says it's a waste of money, but I'm sure I can free my both hands! I'm torn between the hard and soft one. Maybe the hard one is better because it won't get dirty on a rainy day.

Anyway, I am now busy choosing my wedding dresses. I am thinking of changing into a colored dress during the wedding reception, so I need to select two! Too many things to think! But my friend told me nothing is better than our smiles! That is true!!!

Last night, I was really tired and went to bed early without doing anything!!!

Not that important, but I hope I can list my accomplishments someday soon, too...

Bye for now!

Unwasted Tubed Products

How far do you use tubed products?! Me?! I use them like this... I cut the top of the tube and use the snack bag clip to close up! You put in your finger to use. If you can't reach the content, you cut the tube again! What do you think?!

It's snowing today. I took a picture on the way to the station. Can you see the snow on the trees?! My darling looks happy :D Anyway, it will stop snowing this afternoon.

I have so many things to do, but if I'm too busy, I suddenly get overwhelmed and do nothing... Last night, I didn't go to the GYM since I had a list of things to do, but I watched TV (vancouver olympic figure skating, Evan Frank Lysacek was amazingly cool!) and went to bed... Hope I finish everything today...

Bye for now!

P.S.
I added the search box to my blog. Hope it helps :D

Apple iPad VS Amazon Kindle

Did you see this news yesterday?! Apple has announced they will release iPad (tablet computer) in March! It is more like iPod Touch or iPhone than laptop computer (it can run all apple apps) and has an e-book reader like Amazon Kindle! It costs $830 with a function of 3G cellular and $499 without... (Image from New York Times)

My darling loves to read books on Kindle, so he was watching this news on TV with a twinkle in his eyes...

Compared to Kindle, iPad has a fragile glass screen... I'm afraid to carry it around with me. I mean... I'm afraid to hear my darling saying he wants to get one! What do you think?! It looks cool, though! Ha-ha!!!

Like I love to shop clothes and cute stuff, my darling loves to try new tools, so why don't I let him get one if he said he wants to?!

Have a good weekend :D

How Often Do You Eat a Cake?!

Hello! I'm falling asleep, so writing my post :P

How often do you eat a cake?

Since my darling doesn't like sweet stuff, I eat only once or less in a month. You know it is much happier when you eat it pleasantly with someone you can talk freely, so I don't eat it by myself. Anyway, I thank to him because I can avoid gaining weight from sweets!

However, at the year-end and New Year parties, I had so many chances to eat cakes!!! Like I said before, I gained a few pounds and still haven't burnt it :( The image is a cake buffet from my company year-end party. Wow! I saw a guy eating them in bites. I can't believe him not savoring them!!! My darling is the same, though... He eats cake really quick! Why don't guys take time?! So, I always cut a cake into half to save my piece when I share with him! Again, my darling doesn't like a cake... I don't understand why he makes his way into my piece...

Okay, coffee time (without a cake)!

Have a good day :D
