it hasn’t been long since i had some. but the fish craving is pretty strong once again since i didn’t get a fair share of sashimi during my vacation. going without sushi for more than week is rare, but it’s hard to be picky when on vacation. also, i was told not to trust the salmon within many places in asia. the best fishes are on the west coast, so it only makes sense i take full advantage of them and abuse my rights

day 1736 – appas and dongsaeng
and so the birthday celebration begins. taken out to lunch by colleague for shared birthday meal with an appa. the two appas and two dongsaengs gotten close because we’re late eating buddies. the four of us going all the way out to mr black for long lunch; i’ll probably end up working through tomorrow’s lunch. their menu features much fried katsu of all meats, but going out of my norm is acceptable once in a while. the decor was nice and food was decent, but kind of pricey if everything was regular priced. it was quite evident that traffic wasn’t very high at all
day 1132 – sushi for days
labour day was a lazy laid back day that included sushi for lunch and sushi for dinner. i do love my sushi and japanese food, i can eat sushi for days without getting tired of it. sandwiched in between the meals was a workout, shopping, grocery shopping and some project work. although the nagging back pain was getting worse, i was adamant on continuing with my monday routine. i stuck to lighter weights and still got some decent lifts in. must work harder if i want to eat
day 1103 – know no japanese
my headache has improved as the days pass by, but all those hours of teaching and coaching caused a lot of havoc for my throat. my mom gave me some medication she bought in japan, ones that only provided instructions in japanese. it doesn’t help that i am japanese illiterate. little did i know how to take them; i just assumed they were to be ingested in some form which is exactly what i did
day 704 – japanese meal
feels like it’s been ages since i last sat down with my family to have some japanese food. in fact, i haven’t had many sit down meals with my family since i returned from montreal. i suppose the fourth of july is a good day to catch up on some of the family time that was missed. here’s some cold noodles and sushi rolls to satisfy our stomaches and beat the summer heat
day 622 – lunchtime don
rather than eating a salad today, i met up with a friend and had myself a spicy tuna don to make my tuesday lunch a special one. i guess this might be a way to get my heart rate and blood pressure back up to beat normally again. it is such a nice day outside, perfect to be strolling outside. i would use that as an excuse to get out and then hit the gym tonight to burn off some of that lunch
day 496 – trimming
my hair grew so quickly recently and it really bugs me a whole lot to find split ends everywhere. i needed another trim to keep it looking fresh and easy to manage cause i don’t have all the time in the world to do so every morning. scheduled myself a wash and style appointment today, but my hair is too soft and usually doesn’t keep its shape after the first wash
day 477 – aburi
nothing like spending quality time having japanese dinner with a good friend of mine. menu had so many yummy choices and all their dishes was set up with creative presentations like sashimi served on a block of ice and aburi with radish flower in wine glass. it’s a tiny little japanese restaurant on commercial drive and seating fills up fast. definitely a hidden gem full of good food
day 440 – hair salon
blow drying my hair takes longer and longer every morning because it’s getting too long and thick. not to mention how much finding split ends bugs me. i am always that person to grab a pair of scissors and trim that part off. luckily i was about to squeeze in a hair appointment to get my hair trimmed and layered so to minimize caring time and maximize sleeping time. a extra minute of sleep or rest goes a long way
