Fuji via photopin (license)    Today,  I would like to write about health tips from an extra-terrestrial being named Bashar who is from the Essassani Planet .     He is channeled by Darryl Anka. Planet earth used to have beautiful clear air, but since a long time ago the air has been polluted everywhere.    and the cause of most illnesses comes from the poison in the environment we are in, with the polluted air. Nowadays, it's hard to find places where there is beautiful clean air. and in this unfavorable environment, he is suggesting how to live healthy.   Health tips 1.  Clear Oxygen  According to Bashar,  the air after storms and typhoons have gone away, is the most clean ( purified ) and is good for our bodies. However when there is an overdose of artificial oxygen by using tools such as oxygen tanks , this can cause a lack of water, and will weaken cells. ...

  When I was a little girl, cherry was my favorite fruit. I dreamed to eat cherries until I get full. In Japan, cherries were very expensive ( maybe now' too ?) . Every summer season, my mother bought a pack of cherries, but it was small pack,  so when it was shared with my family ( 4 family  members ) , I could get no more than 8.   Now, my childhood dream came true! This large pack of cherries was on a special sale in the supermarket. It's a season for cherries and Peaches !!!   Hmmm I'm in a heaven.  

" I've never been to me " by charlene  This is one of my favorite songs.  I knew this song when I was a child, maybe on TV in Japan, and I was very impressed since when I first time heard that song .  and then later in 1986, I saw a commercial which has the song as a background music on TV .  I didn’t know anything about English language at that time but the melody of the song really touched my heart.  My older brother was also with me watching the commercial and I remember he said he always love that song since the first time heard it.  But, even though I know that song, I didn't know the title of the song.  and I didn't try to find the title of the song and the singer and composer until recently.  Because it was hard to find it without knowing the title and the singer.  I tried to sing the melody to my husband , but he didn't recognize it.  But somehow, when I was searching different 1970s music to ma...

  July 17  was my Birthday and I became 54 !    I can't believe it!  I feel like time flies faster and faster every year,  and I wonder why ? I did not feel time flies so fast when I was teens.    When I was young, my image of  the age 54 was ancient and I never imagined I became that age.   and when I became that age, it's nothing special, just getting older. That's all.  I remember when my grandmother and my mother were that age.  and I realized that everybody is aging like that and repeating.  Fortunately , I'm still healthy.  But I did notice that when I accidentally fell down on the floor, my body was not the same as when I was younger anymore. Also, since a few years ago, I started enjoying thinking about older generation, especially my blossom times.  such as music, movies, memorial things, places  etc.. People think looking back to past is not good , but when we get older, I reali...

I usually get up around 11 am, so my first meal in a day is always brunch.  and lately I'm really into eating Fruits. I rarely had not eaten much fruits since when I was young even though I love fruits,  because I preferred to eat normal meal, and after the meal I was already feeling full and no space for fruits or deserts for my stomach. In tea time ( coffee break time ), I often ate snacks , rather than fruits. So my mother often had told me to eat more fruits.   Lately, I happened to find an article about a Fruitarian who has been eating only fruits for 7 years and 8 months, and has been very healthy so far. I do not think I will be a Fruitarian but I decided to eat fruits since then, and I noticed that eating a lot of Fruits makes my body healthier. I often got the feeling of sleepy when I was eating rice, noodles, potatoes for breakfast or brunch. But I noticed that eating fruits doesn't make me sleepy feeling and get more energy. So since I found it out, I'v...

This week, we went to play bowling! I like to play bowling but my husband and I haven't played it since about 15 years ago when we were still living in Saint Louis, Missouri. I don't know why, but suddenly I felt really wanting to play bowling recently. So last Tuesday when my husband was day off, we went to play bowling around here. There were several bowling centers in Tucson and we chose highest rating place, called " Lucky strike bowl ".   I don't have much bowling experience,  but I remember that I really enjoyed playing it with my family and relatives when I was a child. There was a famous and popular professional woman bowler in Japan called Ritsuko Nakayama at that time, and many people were influenced by her , so bowling was popular with public in that generation.   and I also played with my several friends when I was a teenager.  It was quite fun as well.     and then had a long blank from it until 2002.  My ave...

We went to a mini golf center recently !   It was my first time to play mini golf. I had never been interested in golf in my life, I don't know why. But lately, we were discussing about horseshoe game, since we saw people were playing with it and I was wondering about it. and that discussion about it turned to mini golf. My husband had played it about 20 years ago and he said it was fun.   I only heard about normal golf, so I was curious about Mini golf.   In the Mini golf center, there are also some other attractions such as go-carts, Lazer Tag, Bumper boat, Batting cages, Arcade( game center). So besides Mini golf, we rode go-carts, and played with two games.   It was a very beautiful day and felt so comfortable ! Warm and clear but not so hot and not too dry or humid.   In the Mini golf course, there are two courses and there are popu...
