Merry Christmas

According to the weather report, we will have a snow tomorrow.
It is really hard for me to get out of bed.

*muffler from my mother*
Thanks, Mom!

I challenged myself to cook fish in broth.

Have a happy Christmas!!!

Custom-made Mitttens

My mother sent me 2 pairs of mittens.
They are special!!!
She knitted wool into these mittens just for me.
I suffer from chronic poor blood circulation, so she made these for me to protect myself from chilliness when studying.

Parental love...

It was...

100% apple juice.
I drink it by microwaving these days.
Hot apple is delicious, too!
It's like an apple pie.

My excesses has come back again.
Oh my god.
Eating disorders??????????

Anti-Aging

Good evening!
There is only one month left before a new year.
Looking back this year...
I think it was a year of change.
Not only I myself but also environments brought about changes.
Good, bad, happy, sad, big, small, and other accidental or inevitable things.
I can't predict how the next year will be.
Let it be!What do you think this is?
*Special Hints*

●made from a fruit

●the original skin color is red

●good for beauty

Guess what!

Breaking an egg...

twins came out!
I feel something happy for me will happen.

What do you think the something will be?

Newcomer

PiPiPi♪ PiPiPi♪
*an alarm clock from my father*
This is a miniture of the local train running in my hometown.
I think it is inconvenient to get out of bed on this season every year.

I really hate WINTER!

New Rice

My sister and I ate all long-stored rice.

My mother brought us new one last week.

So...the time has come we can enjoy new rice!!!

Happiness for only Japanese, isn't it?

Field Work

My classmates and I went to Ise-Shima area in Mie Prefecture yesterday.
We had to gather in front of school at 7.
The hour of my rising was 4:30, so it goes without saying that I had slept through in the bus!

I cried for love on the top of Daio-Saki Lighthouse(Don't believe it! It's just a joke...), ate one of specialties-tekonezushi, and visited the Ise Shrine.

Unluckily we didn't have enough time to enjoy sightseeing, so I'd like to go there again.

Of course, to enjoy eating!!!

With ★★★ On Winter Nights

How did you spend this three days off?
For me who have poor blood circulation, winter is the severest season.
And the symptom is getting worse and worse year by year.

My mother bought me this hot-water bag!

Coverd With Mold

Look!!!
What do you think this is?
You see?
This is a satsuma orange-mikan.
Oh my god!

It's growing colder.
Please take good care of yourself.
I have a cold...

*poncho my mother knitted*

Fascinated By Sweets

I'm full...
I went to a smorgasbord restaurant (mainly sweets) with Keiko today.
The name is "SWEETS PARADISE".
Yes, it had been a paradise surely.

I ate too much sweets!!!
Keiko said that she didn't want any cake until Christmas.
I quite agree with her.
I estimate that I ate one cake in total today.

Present Part 2

My father sent me "something" to celebrate my passing the exam.
Take a guess!
He says... "Work slowly but stredily in anything you do. Set your own goal clearly on the these dim times. Take it easy!"

Presents

Listen to me!
My sister gave me some sweets to celebrate my passing the exam.
*a piece of short-cake, classic chokolat, sweet potato and apple tart, raisin sund*
How happy I am to be surrounded with these sweets!

Happy News

Congratulations!!!!!!!
I passed a national examination(国内旅行業務取扱管理者試験).
The good news was delivered to me this morning.
What a relief!

As a reward, I took myself to a special place.

It's like a second hometown.

I had worked there as a waitress wearing kimono about for 3 months.

The experience is too precious to forget.

So many encounters, so many feelings.

I also went maple viewing.

This was the early time to enjoy colored leaves.
But native nature healed me living in the din and bustle of a big city.

*Dinner Today*

Good morning!

It's bad weather, isn't it?
Unsettled weather makes me unstable, too.
My anxiety, worries, and other negatives become much bigger.
Well, let's enjoy the indoor and drive all glooms away on such a day.

My hobby is cooking.
Can I be a good bride in the near future???

Lunch Yesterday

*Tsukimi Udon
*Steamed Sweet Potatoes
*Hot Soy Milk

This is not one of those ordinary noodles.

Sanuki, present Kagawa, Udon.

Kagawa is very famous for Udon.

Delicious!!!

The answer is...

a careless miss-spelling!!!

Could you find it?

People are not always perfect.

I'm going to go to the movies today ''ladies day''.

P.S. I LOVE YOU

Today's Lunch

*Steamed Sweet Potatoes
*Hot Soy Milk
I like yakiimo, baked sweet potatoes, too.

Love roop crops!!!

Find A Mistake

Can you???

Apathy Syndrome

I have been sunk in apathy since last month.
Last month, I took a state examination and since then I have felt strangely dull in anything.

I must study!!!
I must work!!!
I must be active!!!

Well, I try to be positive.
Thing will work out.
Maybe???

Feeling dull can result in feeling mentally ill and emotionally dull.

Today's Lunch

*Chestnuts Rice
*Meat Balls
*Fried Vegetables
These are homemade meat balls.
My mother sent these to us.
We, my sister and I, love her homemade meat balls.
Very simple but tasty!

I tried chestnuts rice for the first time today referring to HANAMARU MARKET.
http://www.tbs.co.jp/hanamaru/
Hot hot hot and delicious!
Enjoy the taste of autumn.
Don't care about burned vegetables.
I'm not good at cooking.

The thing which...

Now sad, now angry.
Usually with a smile.
What watches, holds, and encourages me without words.

Holidays

Today, my mother is going to come and see us sisters.
We will go to an amusement park and take a ride on a roller coaster as many times as possible.
My family except my brother love thrills.
He is a little timid, for example, of insects.
When a cockroach appears, he surely disappears.

Viva an omelet containing fried rice!

What will you do on this holidays?

Self Control

Do you sometimes feel stress?
If so, how do you reduce it?

People today are under great stress, and so am I.
I can't get along well with stress.
It snowballs day by day and explodes some day.
Then, I lose control of myself and go to overindulge.
I can't stop eating and drinking though I'm full, and continue the movements mechanically as if they were my duty.

Eating and drinking too much are not good for my health.
I have to keep my self-control and lose waste of time, money, and other things I don't need.

I'm going to go to a restaurant I can eat and drink all I want today.
This would be a trying time for me.

Rainy Sunday

It's raining today.
On such a day, I hate to go out.
I'm a stay-at-home by nature.

Almost all the children like to play outside when they are young.
But, according to my mother, I didn't like to go out in any case.
One day, she became impatient and dragged her unwilling child to the outside.

Then...
What do you think happened?
The girl, that is, me Asami cried.
I seem to have liked playing inside, origami, ayatori, drawing pictures and so on.

Whether or not it was a good thing, I grew up to be skillful with my fingers.
Thanks, young Asami!

LATE LUNCH

"Do you eat me???"

Don't you think humor is important in our daily lives?

I hate boring life.

Slump

I haven't been feeling well recently.
Vomit and diarrhea.
I know it is a disgusting thing to talk about, but sorry.

About once a month, usually, my body screams.
I fall into a slump as if I were cleansed of worldly desires, mental and physical fatigue and other negative factors.

I tell myself...
No panic, take my time.
But I should be much stronger both mentally and physically.

What I Want

Hey!
I found something interesting yesterday.
Look at this.

IKEMEN BANK

Give me this for Christmas!

Have my heart beat fast...please.

Love Beans

I'm in love with beans.
One of my dreams is to live surrounded by beans.
Not a joke!!!

I eat natto every morning; some people dislike it because of its distinctive smell.
Natto is a sticky food made of fermented soybeans and rich in protein.

If a small stock of natto, I can't feel at ease.
Not a joke!!!

Supper Last Night

Miso Soup With Soy Milk

1. Put a pot on and boil soy milk.

2. Boil ingredients you like in a pan until they are tender.

3. Add miso, soybean paste, to the soup.

Don't boil the soup after adding miso.

The recipe is extremely simple.

It tasted mild and is good for a hangover.

Try as you like!

Five Monsters

I have a hangover and feel lousy today.

Some close friends and I had dinner at an all-you-can-eat-and-drink restaurant yesterday.
Talking about school, love, and other rambling topics, we did nothing but eat and drink to regain the money.
Only five pretty girls!
If there had been any boys, they would surely have been disappointed with us.

Living is eating.

Closing Session Parfait

Very very very big!!!
Sometimes, a girl's stomach can be a manhole.

Lunch And Shopping

I had lunch with an acquaintance of mine today.
We met each other by accident a few months ago.
She is older than me and has large experience, so I can learn many things from her.

It was just "a once-in-a-lifetime chance".

I feel that...I have wonderful friends.
They always worry about me.
"What happened?"
"Do you feel OK?"
"Tell me anything!"

How happy I am!
They are too good for me...

Meetings sometimes might be fatality.
So are partings.

"HARVEST" TODAY

My Boom

Um, how dull the sky was today.
Rain always makes me inactive.

What is your hobby?
What do you like doing?
As you might know, I love eating.
Living is eating.
I would risk my life for eating.

Especially, sweets are really tempting.
The season has come that people enjoy chocolates.
These days we see various chocolates commercials.

I'm addicted to a kind of chocolates called "TIROL".
TIROL chocolate is a long-time seller in Japan: small, square and reasonably priced.
In addition, it is the best charasteristic of it to have various tastes.
You can enjoy them.
Go to this website!
http://www.tirol-choco.com/index.html

I found this TIROL today.
PUMPKIN TART

It tasted so-so: not bad, not good.

I prefer more milder one.

Trick or treat!

Crisis

I have been standing at the crossroads.
Got me stumped!
Try as I do, I never seem able to find the best way.
What do you think I should do?
I feel to be in a maze and can't find what to do.

Indeed I've got the answer in my mind...but my courage fails me.
Angel and devil-hope and fear anytime are intermingled deep down my heart.
"Can I do it?"
"It's impossible!"
"What I want to do is one thing; what I should do is another."

Phew!!!
Just a sigh and tears fall out of me.
I have no idea.

No panic, no panic...

Flavor Of Autumn

Hi there.

How did you spend this Autumn Equinox Day?

Sports, reading, shopping, going out on a date, or anything else?

I hope you had a nice holiday today.

Surprisingly, I have come to prefer the outdoors these days.

It's a miracle!!!

I went cycling, ate onigiri-rice ball for lunch on the riverside and sunk down in thought.

There are too many things puzzling me-my family, future plans and boys especially.

I can't make out what boys feel.

It' beyond my capacity, much more difficult than study.

Boys are certainly strange creatures!

Withdrawing into my own world, I didn't notice the tide making.

"Hey, girl! Are you OK?"

A fishhook helped me.

Love is blind...

New Combination

Hi, this is Asami!
It's getting more and more cool.
In Japan, fall is the season when the leaves of the trees turn red and yellow and my appetite increases.
Oh, sorry!
I'm lying...a good eater not only this season but all year round.

Today I found something interesting at a supermarket.
Look, this one!!!
Curry and ramen-Chinese noodle.
Have you ever eaten this?
I have never heard of such food, much less eaten it.
As a self-claimed gourmet reporter, I got excited.

Eating is believing.
Let's try!
I'll make curry and ramen for dinner.
Wondering which to garnish it with rakkyou-pickled shallots or gyouza-meat dumplings, I chose something else.
CORN!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite.
Good idea, isn't it?

First Diary

Hello, everyone!
Thank you for coming to my page today.

Now let me introduce myself.
I'm a lady.
I live in the Kansai area.
Yes, Japan!

I work by day and go to college by night to acquire knowledge of travel.
My dream is to be..........
Sorry, it's secret.
I have never told my future dream to anyone.
Nobody knows.
Don't you think I'm a mysterious girl?

Oops.
I'm tired from using English.
To use language including Japanese except Okayama dialect is very hard for me.

So my English is terrble as you know.
Have a heart, please!
