Namahage

Hi! Today we have another nice weather. The high temp is 70F (21C)! It's going to rain from tomorrow, though...

This is something about last last week on 10/30. My college friend in NY came to see us with her fiance (they are a bilingual couple)! My boyfriend and I see her every year in NY (in summer) but never saw him. This time, she came back to Japan with him to visit her parents for marital stuff. Their courtship was for 10 years! Days ago, I heard they were finally approved by her parents. I am very happy to hear that. Congratulations again!!!

On this day, about 12 people (including college friends) gathered together. We had a dinner at a restaurant called Namahage. Namahage by the way is a Japanese ritual which is observed throughout Oga Peninsula, Akita Prefecture in northern Honshū, Japan. It is said to have originated as a ritual for cleansing people's souls, and for blessing the new year. While eating, Namahage comes to your table to entertain. The restaurant serves local foods in Akita, such as Kiritanpo (rice stick) nabe! I hope her fiance enjoyed, in a jet-lagged mind. He-he!

Oops. I know I'm way behind on replies... I will catch up soon!

Stay with me :D

Loco Blue

Today, the weather was warm and super nice! I think it was hot rather than warm!!! The high temp was 73F (23C)! After the physical checkup, I hastened to the gym to attend the daytime hula class! I was just in time! Lucky me ;)

Writing about Friday evening, I went to the Hawaiian stores in Ebisu. As I heard from my classmates, there were a lot of flower lais! Unfortunately, pa'u skirts were pretty expensive, so I decided to get the pink one (the very left one) online! I can't wait to receive it! I'm gonna go back to the stores with the skirt this weekend or so to get a lei to match it!


For dinner, I reserved a cozy Hawaiian restaurant called "Loco Blue". Their cocktails were unique with Hawaiian aroma. They use drops of Hawaiian liqueur for standard cocktails such as gin and tonic! Foods there were delicious, too! I loved their tuna tempura (left bottom image). I would say this restaurant can be our choice for the wedding after party!

We dine out twice a week and now my bf told me that it is too much! Booooooo!!! But I half expected that lately, so I'm gonna be a good girl!

Today, I finally went to the ward office to get a marriage paper. I fight a lot with my boyfriend but I chose him because I need him in my life, and so does he. I am feeling happy day by day :D

Gotta go now. See you later!
