Pollen Season

Do you have hay fever?

Me? Not yet... so I need to be careful not to develop it! This morning I saw on the news that the hay fever season has arrived earlier this year because of the warmer weather. The pollen count is expected to be 3 times higher than last year! I can't part with mask until summer, I guess.

Different story. My dad temporarily came back from China during CNY, so my family + my boyfriend had dinner at yakiniku restaurant last night. My family has been to Karuizawa (a popular tourist spot) on that day so my mom gave me some souvenirs. Then this morning, I saw on the news that there was Asamayama (active volcano in Karuizawa) eruption early this morning. How scary... The eruption was small but an alert level was raised. Whew! I'm glad that my family came home safe!!!

Anyway, we have small but frequent earthquakes almost daily... The Meteorological Agency isn't giving a warning but I need to be prepared for something bad to happen :(

PEACE!

Oh, by the way, I downloaded a cute wallpaper for my cell the other day. CALGOT & MAIMAI, I found them on the Net last year and I love them since then ;)

Fugu Chiri Nabe

Yesterday, I had "Fugu Chiri Nabe" (puffer fish hot pot dish) with my co-worker for lunch. Fugu (puffer fish) is an expensive type of fish. Usually served as a fine dining but this was only for $10!!! I always watch TV while running at the gym, and every Thursday, there is a show that features lunch menus at great prices! (The restaurants can cut prices because they use the portions that can't be served for dinner but still are high-grade!) Mostly, those featured restaurants aren't close to my workplace, but last week the one nearby was featured! I think I should better keep an eye on that program ;)

Changing my story, the peacock store near my house (I wrote about it before) is going to close down tomorrow. Everything was 30-50% off yesterday evening, and I found nothing left when I stopped by at night!!! How fast... and everyone knows the value.

You know what!? Sad thing here again. Yesterday I found that the boxing class (at the gym) I loved will end this month. The class was held on Sunday evenings and now I don't have a class to look forward... Inconveniently, all other interesting classes are held during the day. Is the gym for homemakers?

It is raining here today... but good weather to prevent flu outbreak!

Damn me... I just cooked once this week. Maybe next week, I will cook more!

Okay, I gotta go now.
See you next month ;)

Masseur Wellness

What do you think of this massage machine?



This week, there is a campaign at the gym, selling this product at $750! It's original price is $1470.

I am not being taken for a ride by the salesperson. I wanted some kind of massage machine for a long time and feel like this might be the one!? By the way, not the massage chair, because it occupies a space. This one is really small, 15 inches x 15 inches (38cm x 38cm)!

What I liked about this machine is "spiral vibration" which will improve the blood circulation in your body. Those bumpy stuff around have Shiatsu (finger pressure) effect. Moreover, two things sticking out will rotate or(and) vibrate and massage you at the same time! Plus, it emits negative ion.

You can use this machine for all parts of your body! Shoulders, back, waist, stomach, calves, neck, thighs, arms, hands, legs, etc... Surprisingly, stomach feels great!



I tried the machine for 15 minutes a day for few days and it really did relieve muscle tension.

Furthermore...
1. You can relax by using remote control at hand.
2. 15-minutes-timer avoids to turn off.
3. It has a stand that can change the height.
4. There is a portable handle.

Am I crazy?! I translated all the features in English. Ha-ha.
Okay, I will ask my boyfriend. He knows the answer!
But let me know what you think ;)
