it will stop raining*
you are what you eat. that's my mantra
hello 2024
January 4, 2024
Happy New Year! It’s been a rough start for us Japanese over here, but I’m safe and doing well. I hope 2024 will be a more peaceful and happy year for all of us. How’s everyone doing?
October 1 – October 8
October 9, 2023
october started rough.
i was hooked on an iv drip everyday last week for my sudden ear situation
(i’m so much better now thank goodness.).
also my toilet seat that had a crack for years finally gave in and broke. the management company is replacing it with a heated one. apparently they didn’t even know that my unit had never had a heated seat. i should’ve called them sooner. this winter my bum will be nice and warm like everybody else’s.
i noticed rust on the stainless steel temples of my not-at-all-old glass frame. this should’t have happened. the issue has been addressed, and the temples will be replaced and coated with glass fiber material…eventually.
i am very grateful for all the people who are helping me with these issues. what would i do without them.
i’ve been teeth-whitening and counter-balancing it with so much coffee as usual😂.

these are from the beginning of september. 
oatmeal pancakes with homemade apple jam 
some things i did during this period:
going on a date. i got carried away with my own curiosity. it’s gonna kill me one day.
one of us went to busan and got us some banana milk and a few other things. so we had a potluck as usual. 
iykyk♡ 
so i finally got me another pair of my favorite new balance model. they came in hairy pink this time.

here are some photos from august. 
one of the things i absolutely detest is bell pepper seeds getting everywhere whenever i cut them. so now i just don’t cut them. i get more nutrients this way, too.

sunday snack: pretty wagashi 
sunday dinner: trying to roll kimbap tightly 
monday lunch: oatmeal curry
did you know you can polish plastic and get its shine back? i am talking about my glass frame (acetate). i noticed it had a tiny scratch on the bridge most likely from having been dropped on the floor (by yours truly). it annoyed me as i couldn’t unsee it, so i got a tube of polishing cream to see if i could polish it to smooth it out. the scratch was deeper than i’d thought, but it’s far less noticeable now. now i want to polish all my glass frames. 
monday dinner: udon with zucchini, purple cauliflower, pork, and natto 
tuesday lunch: natto rice with egg & tomato cucumber carrot salad 
wednesday lunch: kimchi pork udon & cucumber tomato salad 
thursday lunch: rice balls, pork kimchi stir-fry, & tomato
