This is not about the magazine "Yokohama Walker".


I was a Yokohama Walker today. 走る人


I walked back and forth, back and forth between Yokohama East exsit(E) and West exit(W).足あと


See below!


*Went to a bank(W)

*Went to the postal office(E)

*Had lunch at Cafe De Rope (E)

*Went to SOGO for shopping(E)

*Took Sobu line from Yokohama to Futamatagawa(W)

*Came back to Yokohama and went to SOGO again(E)

*Couldnt find what I wanted, then went to Takashimaya(W)

*Couldnt find what I wanted again. Wandered around West area, then went to Lumine(E)

*Finally found one and went back home


Ah...... I'm tired....


I was looking for shoes.


So I went to SOGO and found good ones, but didnt ask for my size because I needed to go to Futamatagawa.


I didnt want to carry a box. カバン


Then I went back there later and asked for my size, but they were out of stock....


I thought there might be the same one in Takashimaya.


But there weren't......


That's why I went back to Lumine, East side again.......


It's OK because my effort is paid off.サンダル

Today's extra caloriesブタ


*2 gulps of beer

*a bite of some kind of German cake

I went to Chie Ayado's concert today.


My mom's friend is a big fan of her and got tickets, but she got another appointment after she bought them, so gave them to my mom.


I wasnt really interested in it, but as you know, I'm so bored now, so I just accompanied her. 足あと


Also, Chie Ayado is very funny, as if she were a comedian. カエル

I thought I would just give it a try.


Then I found out she was a real entertainer!ロケット

Not only her talk, but also her music!!音譜


She is such a small, short woman, but her voice has a real soul and we were silenced by her power of voice.


I had never laughed so much at concerts.

She is a real Obachan from Kansai.

She could be a comedian if she weren't a jazz singer.



I hadn't had much expectation, but she didn't disappoint me.

On the contrary, I really enjoyed it.

Today's extra caloriesブタ


*a slice of Blueberry Cake(the last one!)

*2 pieces of chocolate

*a piece of cheesecake with short cafe latte @ Tully's

I'm bored......


Yeah, I am bored.....



Well, you know, I am very very bored......



Nothing to do now......



Here's another evidence to prove that I'm bored so much.



I baked a cake yesterday!




Blueberry Cake1


Blueberry cake 2


Since my train pass provided by my ex-company has been expired, I need to pay for all public transportation wherever I go, so I dont go out unless it is neccessary.


I'm very house-bound.....

Probably most of you know what it is, right?


It's the most popular SNS in Japan, I suppose.


You need an invitation from your friends to join the community.


I got an invitation looooooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago, but I didnt register because I didnt know what it was, then.


But when I met my friends from uni last Saturday, one of them told me that my friend who I had been looking for was in that SNS.ニコニコキラキラ


So another friend gave me his invitation and I finally found her!OK


She is the one who threw the birthday party where I met my honey! 恋の矢


This SNS is very convenient to find someone but also very scary because someone I dont wanna contact to can also find me.


This has a function of traceability, so if you visit someone's profile page, this person will know who you are and vice versa, so you can trace those who have visited your page, too.


This is still useful to keep in touch with your friends, though.

Here's "Each relationship is different<part1>".


The part 1 is categorized as "Honey", but the part 2 is "Diary". Well, no reason....カエル


Anyway, I went to the field yesterday for Ultimate. 足あと

I hadn't played for 5 weeks or so, so after several games, I got cramp in my calves and quit playing.


I left the field before the games were over and walked to the station with one Canadian guy. 走る人


He has a Japanese girlfriend in the Ultimate team, but is leaving Japan in June to get PhD in New York. 飛行機

I wondered what they will do with each other when he leaves, so asked him on the way to the station.



He said he can't keep their relationship if there is no definite future plan, like she is coming to the States in 3 months or something like that is already set up.爆弾

Also, he requires her to be more independent if they live together, both financially and mentally.


She cant speak English well, so if she comes to the States, he would need to take care of her, but he will be busy with his PhD programs and his own social life, so he cant take care of everything about her.


Even though she wants to go to the States with him, she doesnt have enough English skill to get a job or to go to University and college(not ESL), nor enough experience of any profession, so she needs money to live on.あせる


But she doesnt have that much money, either.

There's kinda nothing she can do. ブタネコ


He also told me that she gets jealous over him so easily.

She doesnt like him talking to other Japanese girls who can speak English better than her.

(The interesting thing he told me is I'm an exception because I'm already engaged...指輪)


I dont think they trust each other completely. There is a doubt between them that they will have a new BF/GF if they are away from each other.


Especially her. She has a reputation that she is a foreigner-chaser. I'm afraid to say, it is true.

He is the sixth foreign boyfriend for her.

This reputation is well-known among us and he know that as well.


So he said either they try to keep their long distance relationship or they break up as he leaves, she will find a new foreign boyfriend, sooner or later.ハートブレイク


She sounds like a bitch, but she is a very cute, good girl. Please dont misunderstand.


I'm so sad to hear that they have to break up even though their current relationship is so good.

I understand what he said, but when I think about me and my BF when he left here, there was no definite future plan, nor had we any idea how long we would have to wait.


He left because he had to and we kept this long distance relationship because we were inseparable. ドキドキ


It was simple.


I know it is not my business, but I just hope that they will make a decision that they wont regret.

I had a party with my friends from uni yesterday at an Izakaya, then I found really tasty Shochu called "Lento".


I'm kinda into Shochu recently, but this one tastes better than the others.


Also, one of my friends who used to work in an Italian restaurant gave me a bottle of wine as a present for my engagement.


The wine is called "Prunotto, Barolo 2001", Italian wine.

It is really good, too.

My mom prefers white wine to red wine, but she said this tastes really good.

She actually likes it.

I had a little party with my mom tonight.

After Ultimate, I bought a baguette at PAUL because I knew there was a cheese at home, so I thought this would go with red wine so well. It actually really did!

Try them if you have a chance!星

When I made Dorayaki, I opened a can of Azuki, but didnt use all.


So I made this Azuki cake.


Azuki cake 1


Azuki cake 2


The receipe is really easy, but the taste was soooooo gooooooooood!!


My family said this is probably on top 5 of my receipe.


I love this cake, too!



進化バトンなるものをフローリン から受け取りました。

バトンは日本語で書いていますのであしからず~


※気に入らない質問を3つ削除して、新しい質問を3つ加えてください。
※進化バトン(○世代目)の○のところをカウントアップしてください。

で、記念すべきぞろ目の55代目なようです。

1.旦那さまとの出会いを教えて!(旦那ではないのですが、彼氏ということで)

カナダ留学から帰ってきて就職活動メガネにいそしんでいたある日、同じくオーストラリア留学から帰ってきて日本語教師になるべく勉強していた同じゼミの友達から、彼女の誕生日パーティーに招待を受けました。カクテルグラス


友達「UCIからの留学生もいっぱい呼んだの!最近英語話す機会がないって言ってたじゃない?おいでよ!」


私「でもその日、面接なんだよ~。スーツで行かなきゃなんだけど・・・」


友達「いいからきなって~!」


私「むーん、わかったよぅ・・・」


ということでリクルートスーツバリバリで行ったさ・・・。ガーン


そこでたまたま隣に座ったのが今のhoneyラブラブ


実は彼もたまたま友達の友達に大学内でばったり会い、このパーティーの話を聞いてたまたまやってきただけだった(笑)

しかも当時は他の日本人の女の子をかわいいなぁと思っていて、その子の隣に座りたかったのに、失敗して私の隣になってしまったらしい(笑) 

失礼しちゃうわ!!ロケット


ご飯の後、みんなクラブに行くと言い出し、私は当然むり!スーツなんだってば!!

そしたらなんと彼も行かないと言い出したではないか!後で聞いたら彼はあんまりクラブとかは好きではないのだ。


なので、もう一人行かないといった他の日本人の女の子とともにモスバーガーでコーヒー片手にお話しました。コーヒー


その時、日本語や日本の文化を学ぶのに熱心な彼の助けになれればというボランティア精神で、何か助けが必要なら連絡してと携帯携帯の番号を交換。


ほんとに他にやましい考えなどなく、自分がカナダにいたときにカナダ人の友達がもっといればよかったのにと思っていたので、助けになればと思っただけだったのですが、その後連絡を取るようになりました。ぶーぶー


その後の経緯については過去記事 にも書いていますので、こちらをどうぞ~(でないと長くなっちゃう 笑)

2.コーヒーは一日何杯飲みますか?

今は暇人なので一日2~3杯飲みます。

フローリンからもらった「パンプキンスパイス」、飲んでますよ~コーヒー


3.好きな音楽は?

今はほんとにこれに はまっています!てんとうむし

4.家の中に10万隠すとしたらどこ?

実は兄にもらった誕生日プレゼントがこれに使うのにぴったりのものでした。

でもここでばらしちゃうと意味がないのでひ・み・つ!

ヒントとしては・・・へそくりの隠し場所TOP5には入りそうな常套手段です(笑)



5.これから行きたい国や場所は?

イタリア~!!!!!!!虹

「青の洞窟」って知ってます?

青の洞窟

カプリ島にある真っ青な洞窟です。

中学のときから行きたくって大学の卒業旅行には絶対に行こうと思っていて、彼氏に「イタリアで待ち合わせっていうのはどう?」って聞いたら「お金がない」とあっさり言われました(泣)ショック!

今は彼の大親友の女の子がイタリア人と結婚してイタリア在住なので、ぜひぜひ行きたいですぅ!


6.ストレス発散方法は?

友達と話す&お菓子を作る!

お菓子を作ってるときってそれに集中してほかの事を考えなくていいからストレスがたまってるとよく作ります。今は単に暇なだけ~

7.これだけは勘弁!っていう大嫌いな食べ物は?

はっきりいってない。

時々思うけど「食わず嫌い」に出演しなきゃいけなくなったら何を出そう?って本気で考えます。

えっ、そんなことありえないって?

わかんないよ~!そのうちタカさんを目の前に「タカさん、○○さんはきっとあれがだめですよ」とか言ってるかもよ~

8.自分の好きなところは?

肝が据わってるところ、かな?

ほぼどんなときにも動じません。

おかげで仕事してたときには新入社員にもかかわらず、そう見てもらえなくって悲しかったなぁ・・・

9.海と山、あなたはどっち?

私は海とともに育っているので、断然海。サーフィン波

海がない景色なんて地球じゃないわ!

10.次のバトンを渡す3人。

私がこのバトンを進化させずにだれがやる!

という意気込みのあなた!どうぞ~
