Welcome to my blog! I hope you enjoy your visit. Here are a few quick links to my most popular content:
I stopped by Kinokuniya today to look at stationery and manga. I expected a few 2027 Hobonichi items, but they had way more than I thought. The single item I wanted from the 2027 line-up was actually in stock, but I managed to resist. Instead, I picked up a small sketchbook and a dot-grid notebook for drawing. Browsing stationery stores is easily one of my favorite activities these days! ✏️📖
Today started off with a bit of rain, but the cloudy skies eventually left and a bright sun appeared. I was happy to be able to use three of my stamps in the Hobonichi today! ☀️📖
I was trying to pour a basic heart for my latte art today, but it ended up looking like a dabbing rabbit. I don’t know if I’ll ever learn how to do this right! 😄☕
Is this sashimi or carpaccio? 🍣 I’m not completely sure, but at any rate, it was delicious! 😋
A friend came over for dinner tonight, and wow, it turned into a huge feast! 🍽️ On top of everything you see in the photos, we even had karaage. Needless to say, we were all stuffed by the end.
Tonight we had two kinds of dumplings: Har Gow and Gyoza. And to go with that, yummy fried rice! 🥟 This a truly a comfort meal for Asian families.
I actually got a lot done today including some motorcycle maintenance and HVAC vent cleaning, but I also spent a good chunk of it relaxing in front of the TV (with a big bowl of popcorn), listening to my audiobook, and even reading from a real, non-digital book. Sundays can fly by so fast, but today felt like it lasted. That’s a rare thing. 😊
