I have started my blog again.

I'm writing my blog after a long time. I had been really hectic over a couple of months. Actually I'm very busy even now. One of reasons is that I have two jobs now. One is the clerical work at the sole import agency and another one is home tutor. I have to work at both of them on every weekdays. Another reason is that I've got new my hobbies which is gardening and aromatherapy. I get many kinds of young plants of herbs, flowers and vegetables and then plant them to my small garden. Maybe I'll be able to get some tomatoes, blueberries and strawberries soon. About aromatherapy just I get some essential oils like lavender, lemon and so on and I light candle to evaporate oils and enjoy the smell of them. It makes me very comfortable and release my stress, feel refreshment.

When I feel like having something sweets I can eat my fill healthy.










I cooked very healthy pudding because it must be quite low calorie. I sometimes get the pudding at the market but I always feel the store-brought one is too sweet for me even though it says it's not too sweet on the package. I used lowfat milk, butter and zero calorie sugars. It must be less than half of calories of the store-brought one. I skimped some process like strainer but it is enough because it doesn't that I have to serve it for someone. Though looks is not good but...I can sing my own praises. It is very pleasant to taste.

Have I got hey fever?

Over a couple of week I have sneezed a lot of times and my eyes itches. These symptoms are just hey fever. I know you sometimes get an allergy suddenly. So have I got hey fever or something like that now? I have never had those kind of allergy until now so I didn't know how they who has a allergy feel but now I really know. I sneeze over again and agian and then have to blow my nose. My eyes itches so I can't put on contact lenz for a long time. It's really irritated me...

I hope my allergy is not just cat allergy.

草木万里野 ~dishes~

First we ordered ethnic Pizza(upper left) its taste is spicy with tacos source and it was pretty larger than I expected. Next (upper right)is 'Chinese rice baked in hot pebbles' which is Chinese boiled rice mixed with sea foods and vegetables and it was sizzling in the baked pebble pot when it was put our table first. The last (lower left)is Vietnamese Pho ga. (I don't know exact English name though) I always order it when I eat out there. The taste is quite light so we could eat it easily even we had felt full. I still have not eat the authentic Pho yet though I think this Pho is quite similar to Authentic one.






There are plenty of drink menu there.

We ordered Iced Vietnamese coffee(left) and Topical fruits shake(right).

Actually...I forgot the name of the fruit. The menu says it good for anti-aging with vitamin C and citric acid.





We ordered dessert too. Did we eat too much??

The below is Affogato which is Italian dessert refers to the act of topping a drink or dessert with espresso. The sweet vanilla beans gelato is an ideal match to espresso.:-)

草木万里野

I sometimes eat out with my friend for lunch or dinner at this restaurant and went there for lunch today.

The name of the restaurant is '草木万里野(Kusakimarino)' I heard they opened the restaurant on the premise 'The owner Sheff Marino opened the Asian restaurant after she remodeled'

The building is like half in Japanese style and half in European style. We can open the small sliding door with stooping down for entering the inside. Ah, in my case I don't have to stoop down because I am very short...:p

The foods menu is also semi-western style and you can find many kinds of dishes like Italian, chinese, Japanes foods.

Kusakimarino is kind of chain store so you can find it in Kita kanto area (located in more than about 50miles northeast from Tokyo like Gumma,Saitama, Tochigi prefecture) There still aren't in Tokyo. Personally, I don't want to them to open in Tokyo but only in Kita kanto area.

stupid public servant

I went to the public office to pay government pension tax reluctantly. And then I witnessed by chance the two men were looking at the some pictures (I guess they were taken at some one's wedding ceremony.) despite they were on duty. How stupid and rude they are! They must be not busy in the office. I can't forgive them. It doesn't that I am willing to pay tax in my recent severe situation due to economy crisis. And the public office can be paid by our taxes. In spite of that why they are fooling around during office hours without consciousness? If they held surplus people they should cut their staff like private companies. Anyway I can't help raising an object about it to the public office.

job interview part2

I went to the job interview today. That company is that they imports foods,oils,soaps and so on from France and sell to the nationwide shops. I am interested in that company it is different from the company I applied for it three weeks ago. I really thought I would like to work for that company while I was having job interview. I am interested in the goods they are handling. The goods are the things most of women taking care of their health or beauty must like and buy. And the owner said to me my job background and license are enough for handling their business because I was working for the customs brokers at the job before last. But there are some problem. First,the location is in very far from my house and it takes 1.5hours even I use highway by my car. I can sleep or read just on a train or a bus even if it takes such a long time. But I have no choice because there are no suitable train or bus line to get there from my place. Second, they are look for the person instead of the female staff who became pregnant. According to the owner, their business will going well over next near but if it would be poor and that woman went back to the office after maternity leave I should leave the office one year later. The most difficulty is that now they are accepting more than 40 applicants and it seems they have excellent job backgrounds. For example; worked for famous Japanese trading company, resided at Italy for 6 years with job, speaking English as like native and so on...

Anyway, all I have do just now is waiting the result of the job interview as well as looking for other jobs.

She is in a good mood.

How cute expression she is!

I am acting like a doing parent...I took a picture of her without meaning to.
