So happy !!! My Japanese relatives, aunt Takako and uncle Eimei sent us a gift again , and received it yesterday ! They are my mother's younger brother and his wife and my closest relatives. They have been really nice to me since I was a little girl. I can not say enough to thank them for so many things they did to me and my family in my life. These are Organic Mochi ( rice cakes ) , it's kind of like a sticky rice. A rice cake is made by pounding steamed rice into a cake.  I was telling my husband that I really want to eat Mochi around new year holidays because I haven't eaten Mochi since I moved to the USA,  but Asian super market  here are not selling Mochi. So I was thinking about purchasing it in amazon store.     Also the seaweed called "Nori " , and ground sesame which I eat almost everyday. So, I'm so so happy and grateful to receive their gift ! They don't know about my wish to eat Mochi, so I felt like it's ...

Having toothaches can be one of the worst pains ever in life. I had a very tough experience with a toothache  when I was 19 years old.   and it happened during the beginning of holiday times and all the stores and hospitals including the dentists were closed for about 7 days at that time. So I had to deal with the terrible pain for 7 days  until the dentist opened. Since then I was already careful for my teeth, because I didn't want to experience such a terrible pain anymore. It's wonderful that there is the internet where we can get many information to get knowledge easily nowadays. ( Depending on the source, of course ) Today, I would like to share our new discovery for a home remedy which cures toothaches. My husband got terrible toothaches last weekend. It was weekend and dentists were all closed so I searched in internet for toothaches remedies. and he tried some remedies below,   Grapefruit seed extract First , he tried grapefru...

Happy New Year ! 2015 was pretty good year for us except for health. So, my most important new year's resolution for this year is keep having good health. and also have a good laugh and enjoy the moment. Because laughing can even cure illness. Also good laugh can increase our frequency level of energy and attract good luck. In 2015, many of my interests were oldies music which I found many kinds of music and films. When I was younger I rarely thought about oldies , but after I reached to 50, I don't know why but I sometimes enjoy being nostalgic, and love watching and listening to oldies films and music and photos of historical places and  etc.. My husband said he feels the same way as me. In the New Year's Eve to New Year, we were watching Charlie Chaplin 's films and were laughing a lot when the New Year came up. Recently, we both are having addiction to watch Chaplin's films. For this year 2016 , I will keep enjoying my favorite oldie...

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...
