2015 will be over soon and and 2016 is just around the corner. Every time when the end of year is coming, I feel time flies so fast. This year, world became crazy and there were many shocking news and things happened in the world. But I decided to feel happiness every moment as much as possible, so that I will never regret my life.   It's Christmas today,  So,  I made a cake with decoration - a fruits spicy cake again ! I was not satisfied with the decoration last time, so I wanted to challenge it again. As a result,  I feel it looks better than last time, and with my husband, really enjoying the taste of it ! While I was making it, I found it's getting fun and it's like creating an art. I will practice more in the future because Practice makes improvement.  Wishing everyone to have a wonderful Merry Christmas !

I often notice Synchronicity in my daily life since I realized everything is synchronicity and there is no coincidence in life.  In the most recent occurrence, After seeing a video which showed an actress playing the music " The Entertainer " by Scott Joplin on a piano, this music started spinning in my head for a few days and I was often humming it.             " The Entertainer " by Scott Joplin       And then my husband thought I like it so he collected and put together a CD album which included that music along with some other similar music.  Also he was purchasing some movie DVD's recently and one of them was Charlie Chaplin's short movie collections.     And in that collection of Chaplin 's stories, the music " Entertainer " by Scott Joplin was used as one of the background music !  Both of us never knew about it, so it was interesting.  Anyways...

Friday, November 6 was my husband's birthday, so I made a cake and Tempura! We were having cozy happy birthday party at home, just relaxing , eating, chatting, drinking, listening to our favorite music, dancing and watching a new movie. Last year was chocolate cake, so this year I made whipped cream spicy taste with strawberry decoration cake. I'm really not good at making decorations, but fortunately the taste was successful, heavenly yummy!!! Ray said he loves this one as much as the chocolate cake, and it became one of his favorite cakes now.  We both love chocolate taste sweets , especially Ray was eating many chocolate bars every day until he got health problem.   Ray had kidney problems last June this year, and since then he has been avoiding the foods which have high Oxalate content, such as chocolate, cocoa, dry powder, peanut butter, Bran flakes, crackers, soybeans, tofu, spinach, and black pepper.  Because a doctor told him that eating th...

Today I would like to talk about my new discovery, the herb " Cat's Claw" and it's benefits. This herb doesn't seem quite as well-known as some of the other herbs , so my husband and I only knew this herb recently. We have been trying many kinds of herbs and healthy foods since about 10 years ago, and I feel this herb Cat's claw is one of the most powerful herbs to heal many kind of illness. Cat's Claw was discovered in the Amazon, Rainforest of Peru and Brazil. When I read about it, the plant sounds powerful because I sometimes think about how people who live in the Amazon rainforest can live and survive where there are many kinds of virus, easy to get disease. I imagined people who live in the amazon must have strong immune system. I've read about that there are many undiscovered medicinal plants in amazon rainforest. For my health, I especially care about my brain health and intestine health. Because if the brain and intestin...

This season (2015 - 2016 ) 's figure skating competition is already starting !  and I've watched Japan Open, Nebelhorn Trophy, Finlandia Trophy , Autumn classic and Skate America so far. Honestly, this season, I was not so excited for figure skating competition like before, because two of my favorite skaters who are Tatsuki Machida ( from Japan ) and Samantha Cesario ( from USA )had retired last season. Although it was great to hear and see Mao Asada was back to competition and did a wonderful performance in Japan open competition. For Skate America , there is Jason Brown who is my top favorite eligible skater there so I was very looking forward to seeing his new programs. Also, as usual, looking forward to seeing the commentary of Johnny Weir, Tara Lipinski and Terry Gannon !                                                   ...
