Point Cards

Do you get point cards if available?

I do, but I don't want to carry many cards with me so sometimes I deliberate a long time. In January, the cafe I used to go closed, so I started go to a different cafe near station. For the first 2 times, I thought I wouldn't go there that often, so I didn't make a point card, but on Saturday, when I went there for the 3rd time, I thought I should better make one. At the register, the cashier told me that if I have the receipts of the past purchases, I can still get points! However, I realized that I have shredded them the day before when I organized my wallet...
But sometimes I have a run of luck! The receipts I shredded got jammed, so I gave up and threw away as-is. Do you think I can get points with those?!

Changing my story, I have sore muscles all over the body... Yesterday, the personal trainer came to me and talked to me for about an hour (about enrolling the program, etc...) while I was training on the step machine. I was actually exhausted but since he is a trainer, I thought I shouldn't stop exercising... How pretentious of me...

The weather is not nice again. But it seems like everyone is healthy under this bad weather. Funny but many people around me got sick when the sun came out! My orthodontist went into the hospital last week :( I hope he gets well soon and hope my braces won't break until he comes back...

Take care!!!

Now Solved the Problem!!!

This morning, I spent too much time on the computer since I had a trouble getting online (disconnected from the Internet!) everytime I view my site! I visited my blog buddies' page and the same thing happened.

Then finally, I realized one of the gagets was the cause! I removed it and everything went fine...

Time might have solved the problem, so I shouldn't be this addicted to this issue.

Now I'm gonna be late! I have to leave!

Damn it!!!

Koshihikari

How often do you eat white rice?

I eat it almost three times a day since my boyfriend doesn't prefer to eat bread in the morning. I used to have bread and coffee in the morning but I changed.

Luckily I doubly won 11lbs (5kg) of Koshihikari at the contest which I wrote the other day. Koshihikari is the most popular variety of rice cultivated in Japan (Niigata prefecture) and it's taste is said to differ per region. Koshihikari, harvested in Uonuma area of Niigata prefecture, is rated with the very best. I knew that the Uonuma rice tastes good, but never have tried it because it costs more than $50 (5,000 yen) per 11lbs (5kg). I usually pay $16 (1,600yen) per 11lbs (5kg) for other rice varieties such as Akitakomachi or Hitomebore.

So, what is said to be the good rice?
The amount of protein and amylose in the rice is used as a guide to measure the deliciousness of rice. In general, lower the content of those two are said to be glutinous and tasty!

There are 4 reasons why Koshihikari is supreme:
1. Water from melting snow.
2. Fertile ground.
3. Perfect climate condition.
4. Excellence in technique and wholeheartedness of the farmers.

This morning, I cooked Koshihikari and made onigiri (rice balls) for our breakfast. It was amazingly tasty! I wish I could eat this rice everyday... You don't want to use this rice for fried rice. You might want to eat it with pickled ume or okazu (a side dish) that goes good with white rice!

We have sun today, but it is going to rain from tomorrow till next Tuesday again :( All my umbrellas are at home, so I wish it rains in the morning the next time...

See ya!
