Today was my first time to see the cherry trees in Nakameguro!

I heard there were a lot of people, but when I actually went there..
 “Oh, this is a festival! 😂” level of crowds💦.

But the cherry blossoms I saw as I walked along were...

"I knew it was beautiful 🥹✨”

📍 Good point 💡.
🌸The cherry blossoms along the river are breathtaking!
📸 It's fun to take pictures 📷💕 because it looks good no matter where you take it.
🌙 The cherry lights up at night are truly magical✨!

Get a cherry blossom motif drink 🌸🥤 along the way,
perfect photo 📸✨ (even though we had to wait in line 😂)

💭 “Maybe the crowds are part of the fun of Hanami?” I thought to myself, “Maybe the crowds are the best part of Hanami?
Next year, I'd like to go earlier in the day and enjoy the cherry blossoms more leisurely 💛

It was a beautiful day from the morning! It felt like spring and was so pleasant ✨ For breakfast, I made French toast the night before 🍞 It was so soft and fluffy, I was really impressed with myself (lol).

I had some time before my university classes started, so I went for a walk in the nearby park. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, so I couldn't help taking lots of photos 📸🌸 It's nice to walk around by yourself, but I'd also like to go and see the cherry blossoms while chatting with someone.


For lunch, I had pasta with my university friends at the school cafeteria. I said I was on a diet, but I ended up eating the dessert too (lol). But the afternoon classes were unexpectedly hard, so I'm sure I burned off the calories!

After school, I went to the pool for the first time in a while. I felt refreshed when I got in the water, and I realized I really love swimming. I thought I'd just swim around and get some exercise, but I ended up practicing pretty seriously (lol). The exhilaration you get after exercising is the best!


For dinner, I made myself teriyaki chicken and salad 🥗. It was healthy but filling, so I was really satisfied ✨. Cooking makes me forget about everything, so even when I'm tired, it's actually quite fun.

Let's do our best tomorrow too! Good night 🌙💤



 

Today is my first day off in a while! I slept without setting an alarm, and woke up refreshed at 9am. When was the last time I woke up feeling this good? I slowly brewed some coffee and opened up a book I've been meaning to read for a while. Just this time alone made me think “holidays are the best”.

I got ready before lunch and went to the department store for the first time in a while. My goal was to buy some new work clothes for spring. First, I checked out the jacket and pants sets 👗✨ I found one with a nice silhouette and tried it on. I turned around in front of the mirror and was convinced that it was the right choice, so I made my decision right away. I also looked in the shoe department and found some beige pumps that I thought I could use both for work and for private use. Recently, I've been focusing on comfort and only wearing low-heeled shoes, but today I chose something with a little more heel.

After shopping, I took a break at a cafe ☕️💭. Normally I only get take-out, but today I was unusually relaxed inside the shop. I never realized how luxurious it was to spend time without thinking about anything.


Since it's a holiday, I decided to put a little more effort into dinner. I bought some fresh fish at the supermarket and made a dish that goes well with wine 🍷✨. On workdays, I tend to make simple meals, so on days like this, I should spoil myself a little.

Well, I'll be back at work tomorrow. I'll change my mood with a new outfit and do my best ✨.

It's been a week since I dyed it natural brown.
I liked the freshly dyed color,
but now that the color has faded, I think I like it better...! I'm starting to think that I like it better now that it's faded.

📍Change in color fading ✨
First 🔸 → calm ash brown
🔸 1 week later → lightened a bit to a mellow brown 🍂.
After 2 weeks → Milk tea brown that looks softer in the light 🔸 ☕️✨

The atmosphere changes every time the color fades,
I'm happy to be able to enjoy “today's hair color is a little different 🤭” every day 💛.

Next time the color fades, I'll try a color treatment to change the nuance a little ✨.

I feel like I have something new to look forward to when I change my hair color 💭😊🌿.

I woke up just after noon today. I've completely become a night owl, but it's no problem (probably)! For breakfast... or rather brunch, I've been really into the sour and spicy soup called “sanratan” recently. The sour and spicy soup is really delicious, and I could eat it every day. Today I tried to go a little healthier with a bit more tofu.


I had a part-time job this afternoon. I've been a bit busy recently, and my legs were a bit beaten up from standing around all day, but I bought some energy drinks at the convenience store on the way home, so I'm back on track 🦾💥 After I got home, I fired up Monster Hunter straight away! I joined a random multiplayer session today, and I was able to team up with some really skilled players, so I made good progress ✨ But I think it's still the most fun to play with friends while chatting on voice chat.


For dinner, I had Sanratan again (how much do I like it?). I tried adding some glass noodles to it today, and it was a great idea! While I was eating, I watched some Monster Hunter TA videos on YouTube, and I'm going to study so that I can move around better next time 📖🔥

I want to go hunting again in the middle of the night, but I'm going to sleep quietly today because I'm definitely going to be sleep-deprived. ...but I'm probably going to end up playing smartphone games in bed (lol).

Today I was watching One Piece's best scenes again on YouTube, and I thought again.

'Sanji, you're too cool ......!!!' 🥺💛✨

📍 Top 3 🔥 favorite things about Sanji.
🥇 #1: His lady first 💛
→ “I can't wipe away a woman's tears” line is great no matter how many times I hear it 😭✨
🥈 #2: A man who can cook is too nice 🍳✨
→ I want to try the pasta Sanji makes so badly ......🍝🥺.
🥉 #3: The fact that he loves his friends🔥.
→ “Thank you for taking care of me for so long ‼️ damn ‼️‼️‼️” That scene made me cry 😭💔💔.

Sanji really is the ideal of a man, isn't he? ✨

I'm so sorry 💭 If Sanji was in real life....

If we went to a restaurant together, he'd say something like “whatever you want, lady” 🥹💛.

Wouldn't it be great to have a boyfriend who cooks for you? 🍽🔥.

Thinking about Sanji makes me want to eat pasta...! 🍝
I'm going to make and eat peperoncino like Sanji today 💛✨

I was looking back at my French photos for the first time in a long time and **I almost cried because I missed it so much..! **🥺💙

📍 Top 3 things I loved in France: 🇫🇷✨
🥐 1. the morning bakery (starting the day with fresh croissants and espresso...too good 🥐☕)
🏰 2. a museum you can wander to (both the Louvre and the Orsay, I never got tired of going over and over 🎨✨)
3. the pleasure of walking around the city (I really loved the atmosphere of the cobblestone streets in Paris...!)

To be honest, when I lived there, I sometimes thought “French winter is too cold 💀” or “The supermarket clerks are too salty? 😂”, but all in all, I want to go back...! It's a wonder that I can think “I want to go back...!

Next time I go to France, I'll be a complete “tourist”... I'm looking forward to that, but I still want to live there again 🥺✨.

Anyone want to go to Paris with me? 😂💕

Oh man... it's late and I'm starving... 🤦‍♀️
But when I opened the fridge, I found “spicy ramen” 👀💥.
I have no choice but to eat it. ⁉️

📍 Today's spicy ramen arrangement✨

Eggs 🥚💛 with cheese 🧉🧉.

Cheese 🧀 for mildness 💖

Nutritional supplement with lots of green onions (?) 🌿🌿.

The moment I took a sip of the soup 🔥 **Spicy! Best! **🔥 😂 spicy ramen is now a part of my life (lol)

🌙 I feel guilty when I eat a nightcap, but...
I'm going to work hard tomorrow! I'm going to work hard tomorrow! 😆💖.

So it was another happy night 🥰✨
What do you guys eat for dinner? 💬💬

He said, “I'd like to see you in uniform.”
“What? Really?” I was like, “Really?
It's been a while since I tried it on...

📍 The customer's reaction was too cute.
👀 “What, too cute?” (←Seriously surprised 😂)
💬 “I feel like I'm back in school...” (← a bit adolescent ✨)
🔥 “I'm just so nervous in general...” (← so much! 🤣)

At first I thought “I'm a little embarrassed 💦”,
The reaction of the customers was so pure and cute, on the contrary, I was embarrassed 😂💛.

💭 Maybe it's okay to be like this once in a while...? 💖.

A drinking party with my theater-going friends! We all love the theater, so the conversation never stops (lol).
We were talking about the plays we'd seen recently, and before we knew it, it was almost time for the last train!

After all, the appeal of seeing a play live is the “atmosphere” that you can't get from watching it on video. The actors' breathing, the subtle changes in their facial expressions, and the reactions of the audience - it's all different every time, and that's what I love about it.

I've already decided what I'm going to see next, and I'm feeling motivated to work hard again! I have to get to sleep early tomorrow, so I'll have to take good care of my skin 💆‍♀️✨



 

The day has finally come...! My favorite artist's live! I was all ready from the morning, wearing my favorite color coordination and glittery makeup 💖💄.

I met up with my friends at the station and when we arrived at the venue, the queue for the goods was already so long that we laughed 😂. But we were able to buy the penlights and towels without any problems, and even before the live started, I was already too happy.

The live was just the best 😭✨ The setlist was too good, and when my oshi came out, I almost cried...! The performance of the new song was cool, and the MC was cute, and I thought to myself once again, “I'm so glad I'm an oshi”.

On the way home, all my friend and I could say was “The afterglow is amazing...” and “I'll be an oshi for life...” and we laughed. I'll definitely go to the next event too!

I was so busy today...! The time flew by as I changed the display to show off the new stock and served customers. But it made me happy when a customer who liked the items said, “I'll be back again!”

As a reward for all my hard work, I went to a bar for a drink on the way home. I ordered a gin and tonic, which I've been into recently, and had some time to myself. I wonder why drinks after work are so delicious? lol

I had the day off from work today, so I went to the park with my dog in the morning 🐶💕 The weather was nice and the cherry blossoms were starting to bloom, so it was a really pleasant day.

As always, my dog is full of energy and it's healing just to watch her running around. On the way home, I stopped by a dog cafe and the staff said “She's so cute!” which made me happy (parental pride).

In the afternoon, I relaxed at home and watched a movie. I got caught up in an overseas drama I've been into recently and before I knew it, it was evening... Days like this, when you can just relax and not think about anything, are important.

Today was another day that was “up to the cats' mood” 😂💦 It's always the same: when there are lots of customers, they all take refuge on the high shelves. On the other hand, when it's almost closing time, they suddenly start purring and rubbing up against you - why?

Also, a new staff member was in charge of the “cat feeding time” for the first time, and the pressure of the cats was so great that I laughed😂💖 Everyone was so desperate, and it was interesting to see their serious expressions.

Today, I went to the site of a photo shoot in the morning. Every time I take charge of a model's makeup, I realize the differences in facial structure and skin texture, and each time I make a new discovery. This job is very deep.
The theme this time was “natural and translucent. It was difficult to find the right balance of creating a glossy look but not too much, so it was a trial-and-error process. But when it was finished, I got a lot of “wow! Beautiful! my exhaustion is gone. I love that moment.
On the way home, I stopped by my favorite cosmetics store and picked up a new highlighter. Tomorrow, I will enjoy researching makeup again.

Today is my day off! I worked up a good sweat at the gym in the morning and then relaxed at my favorite cafe. They had a new cappuccino on tap, so I tried it and it was really good ♡ Not too sweet, but full-bodied and perfect. I was able to chat with the waitress for a bit, and I'm looking forward to coming back again.


In the evening, I went out for drinks with friends! It's been a while since I've been to a wine bar, so I'm wondering what to wear. I'm thinking a black slip dress with a jacket would look mature.

My desire to travel again is about to explode 🔥 I've been researching my next travel destination in between jobs and I'm curious about the remote islands of Okinawa.... I've been looking for my next trip in between jobs and I've been thinking about a remote island in Okinawa.... 🐚✨
But I'm thinking about airfare and accommodations and money... 💸 (crying) So I've decided to live on a budget for a while! I'm going to get a part-time job and cut back on unnecessary shopping. I'm enjoying the time I spend planning like this. When you have a goal, you can do your best!

Today I was surprised from this morning! Snow in Tokyo❄️ It's already March and I didn't think it would snow... When I opened the window, I was so excited to see a faint white color, but it was so cold outside 🥶.

Morning at my favorite cafe ☕✨ but maybe it was more empty than usual because of the snow? I was relaxing with buttered toast and a latte when I realized I was just in time for class.

I only had two classes at the university, so I had lunch with a friend and then went to the library 📚 I checked out a foreign book to study English properly because of the foreign dramas I've been into lately, but I regretted it a bit because it was too difficult from the first page.... But since I'm here, I'll try to do my best little by little!

In the afternoon, I had a part-time job. It was still snowing outside, and by the time I got home, the ground was a little bit like sherbet ⛄. I was a little scared that I might slip, but I kind of like snow days because it makes me feel special.
