Start Date of Renovation and my Worries...

Today, our long-awaited renovation starts. I thought we were well prepared but my worries never seem to end X(

On Saturday, we went to see our new home once again before the renovation starts and realized that the height of the ceiling is not high enough to apply the wooden plyboard floor. To apply this, we have to lift about 2 or more inches from current condition which might make our room feel cramped and small.



All condos in Japan have a sound insulation control and we have to keep LL40 (sound insulation level) for the flooring. Thus, to reduce the thickness, some people use carpet or vinyl flooring.



I have to talk to our contractor to change our choice?! We made an appointment this weekend to discuss about it!

It is still cold and dry in Tokyo. My black fur beanie which I bought last year in spring at half price now became useful ;)



Have a good one!

The Social Network

On Saturday, my darling asked me to watch the movie called "The Social Network" which just came out on Saturday (1/15) in Japan. I was not that interested in the movie at first, but the movie was quite interesting!!!

The film is about Mark Zuckerberg who created the facebook.

What I liked about the movie is that Mark simply wanted to create something COOL and created the facebook. I really want to show this movie to my boss since we run two websites at work and are not cool at all because he always seeks gain. I stop saying him about that few years ago and shifted to work for a living, so I'm not gonna say anything but I simply hope he sees this movie and understands what we should have done for our sites.

Anyways, did you see the movie?! What is your thought?! :D

900 Recipes

Wow! When this screen popped out, I realized that I have posted 900 recipes on my Cookpad (Japan's largest recipe site) account! To tell the truth, I have double the number of the recipes at home since I post my recipes on other sites, too.

As you might know, I also submit my recipes to the contests. I always try NOT to do my best since it will never go as planned... but I did it again! This time, I thought I could win at least 2nd prize for sure since my darling loved the ingredient and I could come up with many good ideas!!! However, what I received was the last place. I had a call from the manufacturer that I won the prize but my voice was not happy of course. I'm sorry!!! I devoted a lot of time (about 3 months) for that contest, so I was really shocked. Why this happens is some contests are just about the LUCK! Yeah, I knew that but I somehow I did it again. That's all! I will now forget about it to make a new start!

Life is not easy, so don't expect too much X(
