March 2024
Big Fun Day!
Finally, one health concern is gone.
My "glossalgia" is finally gone.
Saw the doc for 3rd time and confirmed that symptom is no longer there.
So now officially "glossalgia" is not part of me…
Doc told me to come back if any symptoms get recognized.
Okay! Good stuff and now I can move on.
Play "Sweeney Todd" is watched.
Unfortunately, seat was rather back and far from the stage.
Though, it was good one.
Never seen such story even though I have heard about it.
Good story and great musical it was.
Went down to Toyosu after the musical.
Gathering took place at all-weather BBQ place.
12 of us got together for BBQ party.
Tons of foods and drinks
Night view of Tokyo from bayside
It was such an endless night BBQ.
Had enough drinks and ate tons!!!
Good Saturday… better than good… GREAT!

Japanese sweets recommendation
Wed, 27 March, 2024
Forgot something in the sharing office that I used for work this morning.
Had to go back and picked it up.
Thank god, it was still there…
My mouse is somewhat expensive and great to use.
If lost completely, would cost me a bit to buy another one.
Well, glad to made a recovery.
Work was rather flat.
Made me concerned a bit for things next week.
You know, calm before the storm thing…
Supper was chicken dish… no white rice.
Went out for walking and some exercise.
4th time in this month.
Should do such more often.
MoonFlower mentioned that we should do at least twice a week.
I know…
Exercise led a reward… more than enough?! Hahaha.
Senbikiya's banana / strawberry omelet is as good as always.
Never tried it before?! Worth to do so. Definitely choose banana one first!

Physical meeting was switched to the virtual one.
There was surely no problem for doing such.
Though, it resulted to make my whole day as working from home.
Didn't plan to much but that was the only choice.
Work was smooth and stayed in peach…
Though, I felt like I wish I could go out and do some work on move.
Staying home for all day doesn't perfectly mean great.
Surely convenient, though.
I have 2 PCs with 1 additional monitor and working home is part of the life.
However, thing wasn't that special anymore and that made me feel bored a little.
You know what I mean.
No excitement whatsoever.
Except great home meal fixed by my wifey.
Tomorrow, I should look for some alternative work place around to see if any.
Please do not misunderstand that I do not complain the working home style.
I still do love it.
Though, sometimes, need some fresh air and different environment… Hahaha

Finally, house goods got rid of...

Round trip to Chiba for errands today.
Good thing was that there was no traffic jams on both ways.
Very rare. Probably timing was perfect.
Not much sunshine out there but fun driving.
Stopped by a restaurant where robot was in operation for lunch.
No more human bringing dishes to the table.
One big errand was of going in to Hard-Off.
I sold several house goods to get rid of.
Like Nintendo Switch.
I bought it while corona was in effect. Used a little.
Though, am not that much gaming person anyhow.
It rather sat there in the living room for such a long time.
Finally, gone!
Some money returned then.
Automatically, extra "income" for MoonFlower. Hahaha.
She was extremely delighted with such.
Quick drink over supper home.
Red can is brand new alcohol drink that found on the shelf today.
6% of alcohol seems to be strong to me but this drink was pretty good!
I may have to buy it again.
This week is closing one for March. Oh boy, three months of 2024 is almost gone.
Time really flies, doesn't it?
I'd better work and prepare myself for April when expected to be busier than current one.
Oh boy!

BONGEN COFFEE in Ginza
Busy Saturday afternoon for me.
MoonFlower and I went out to Mitsukoshi-mae, Ginza, and Hibiya.
Quite busy dealing with different errands.
Well, showed up to totally unknown cafe in unknown area.
"BONGEN COFFEE" was spotted because of customers lined up outside the shop.
Oh boy!
BONGEN COFFEE
https://tabelog.com/en/tokyo/A1313/A131301/13216379/
MoonFlower and I were the only Japanese in the line.
Obviously, all others are non-Japanese for sure.
How come this place is so popular?
Many shows some sign that the shop does target at foreigners.
Pricing on goods sold within is also for foreigners.
Ordinary Japanese people cannot afford such price, easily.
Hahaha. True, though.
Interesting but very Japanese interior.
Great coffee, though. Surely enjoyed!
MoonFlower wanted to come as part of "Fandom" experience.
She must be satisfied by coming and having that cold coffee in particular.
Picked up some sweets home on the way back home.
"Suzukake" sweets shop in Hibiya.
One more thing. I bought a new shirt!
It is a Ralph Lauren shirt.
Cool!
I said that I bought; not quite accurate.
I'd better take it back.
Since MF agreed to use the shopping points for this.
Thus, I didn't have to spend any penny.
Thank God.
Good busy and shopping day, huh!

I guess, am STILL healthy...
Friday was quite peaceful to me. Thank God!
Yeah, literally, TGIF it was.
Started to see a doctor at the clinic in the morning.
Oh before that, took the blood pressure to ensure that I am still okay.
Yep, still okay.
Then doc showed me the result of blood test took place the other day.
All things are okay! Am still ordinary. Hahaha.
Though, still stomach upset which is controlled by medicine needs to be diagnosed.
So, I went under endoscopy.
Things went okay.
After the exam, doc told me that there was nothing found.
Thus, he asked me to come back in several weeks to see if things get better by then or not.
Okay… at least every possible thing has been checked out. CT and endoscopy. Good.
Better than good. I exhausted all options that I had! Right?
I feel good.
Work was quite normal and no issues acknowledged. Another weekend is coming in peace.
Went out to a dry cleaner for taking care of suits that I recently wore quite often.
From next week, different suits should be coming out of my closet for spring and even summer!
Family dinner at Friday night took place at bistro called "Le Marais."
Very close to Asakusabashi Station.
1st time for us to go in… never before.
Casual but cool place we found.
Everything was great.
Except this wagyu house-special dish… portion was quite small.
Compared to the price, I guess this needs to be fixed in a better way.
Otherwise, things were quite nice with good service.
Reasonable price with good atomosphere. Good place discovered for sure.
Now, weekend! What shall we do?! Any plan? Hahaha.

Physical check and management
Thu, 21 March, 2024
After work, rushed in to a body clinic for physical therapy.
Come to that place once every other week or so.
Checked the condition out and found that shoulders are located in difference positions.
I have worked in bad sitting style, I guess.
I was told that it is "rolled shoulders."
Popular symptom?
Also hunched back, as usual.
Well, I have to live with that, I guess.
However, I should be more keen on how my posture is while working.
You know what I saying.
Anyhow, fixing such in therapy was about an hour.
Will come again in two weeks for sure.
Tomorrow, another physical check.
I will go under endoscopy to see if anything wrong in my stomach and other area.
Will see how it would go…

Sweets Hunter / Happy Hunting
Kinda crazy weather it was today!
Sunshine didn't last too long and turned out to be very windy and rainy!
Oh boy.
At least, MoonFlower and I went out for sweets.
Yeah, something still accomplished.
Went in to "Oyatsu No Koboku" - cake shop in Hamacho.
Oyatsu no Koboku (cake shop)
https://tabelog.com/en/tokyo/A1302/A130204/13264654/
Very popular and required a booking for buying!
Cozy place. Used to have eat-in area but no more.
Big happy shopping!
On the way back home, stopped by a Vietnamese restaurant for lunch.
Never been to this place before. I knew and I had an idea going to eat there in my mind.
Finally… got here.
333 Vietnamese Restaurant
https://tabelog.com/en/tokyo/A1302/A130204/13246938/
My favorite Vietnamese food is of Pho noodles.
This bowl of noodles was pretty good!
A little bit pricey, though. 950 yen.
After the lunch, came out of the restaurant, it was raining outside…
So simply went back home and didn't go out all afterwards.
Since varieties of cakes home, it was a good tea/coffee time awaited.
Strawberry tart cake
Rare cheese cake
Over the supper, opened a wine bottle and watched MLB opening game.
Yeah, Dalvish vs. Otani.
Cannot miss it.
Man, it was very relaxing day off (national holiday).
Yet, have to get back to the realty tomorrow.
Oh boy…
However, just sucking up everything for two days - Thursday and Friday,
another weekend is to be here… Right?
Let's look at the bright side of things.
Bygones.

Big Work Done!!!
Such a long day!!!
Well, biggest event, as a part of one project, took place today.
Practically, 6-hour workshop with management personnel.
I had to handle 9 different topics within.
Yeah, good discussions are expected along with my effective time management.
You know how it seems to be difficult.
At least I was rewarded with good catering lunch:
"Ningyocho Imahan" bento box was provided.
Good one… but wanted beef more!
Hahaha.
10 mins to 5pm, all got done as planned.
Perfect time management with good, better than good, outcomes!
I fulfilled my responsibilities for the day.
Very relieved for sure.
Teammates and I celebrated today's accomplishment in the Chinese restaurant.
Lots of talks… mostly work or career?!
Anyhow, it was a good time.
Feel quite well since good work and, in a matter of fact, day off tomorrow.
National holiday tomorrow.
Good deal.
I will take a good rest for sure.

Sumo Citrus here...
Mon, 18 March, 2024
Working late tonight… facing a big work event tomorrow.
I guess, that is to be the biggest project event in this month for sure.
I will be in control of entire thing… will see how it all would go.
Not much pressure, though.
All people in the meeting are practically no information in advance.
It is entirely up to me to set the tone and atmosphere.
Thus, I can play a little bit… maybe?!
"DEKOPON" is here..
English name is of SUMO CITRUS?!
Is that correct? Not too sure.
This is MoonFlower's favorite.
Thus, she would maintain her good mood for a while as far as the DEKOPON remains available.
Once running out of it, things would go a nightmare?
Will see.
Hahaha.

Play "King Lear"
Showed up to go watch a play in Ikebukuro today.
Ikebukuro is in fact least favourite area in Tokyo because always crowded like crazy!
No exception today.
But had no choice whatsoever… hahaha.
Came to Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre.
with my Chaykin (clown) watch.
My seat was in the middle on the 1st floor.
View over the stage was pretty good.
Watched a play "King Lear." Yeah, famous Shakespeare… four tragedies.
Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre: https://www.geigeki.jp
It was a long play… started at 1pm and done around 4pm.
Very serious play and no jokes at all as you can imagine.
It was pretty good, though.
All actors are quite famous and popular and shared what they all got for this.
Definitely, worth to watch!!!

New Clothes Delivered!
Sat, 16 March, 2024 Category Shopping
Has another spring finally come around?
It was quite warm and spring-like climate today.
Warm enough, wasn't it?
In the morning, 3 different deliveries made and it was all then.
Received foods in 2 packages and new clothes in last one.
Clothes? Yeah, finally here… 6 months after the order.
Tsumori Chisato SS2024 is now here!!!
MoonFlower picked one and I did two…
Since when I buy more than she does? Oh boy…
Half-sleeve shirt
Design close-up. Fancy, huh!
Another one is a hoodie.
MF told me that it would be perfect to wear for today… so I did.
Yeah, this did fit such climate.
I should no longer buy any outfits for a while from now on.
I have overwhelming number of outfits in my closet and no longer hang any. Totally full.
Plus, I am on tight budget this year since January and cannot afford anymore Tsumori.
I have to wear some of clothes out sooner!!! Hahaha.
MF and I went out to Ginza for her shopping.
It was quite quick that she finished her shopping in Mitsukoshi.
She previously ordered and reserved what she wanted.
Then she took off to see her friends, giving me a personal time.
Went in to Nissan Gallery to see Formula E car.
Super cool!
Tokyo round is coming up soon… so I saw such information.
Rare to see from the backside. Very simple, isn't it?
Dinner was rather simple… since I eat home alone.
Good drink with Japanese sushi.
Easy day it was.

More Physical Issues?
Fri, 15 March, 2024 Category Health
Having some stomach issue? Not too sure.
Though, some stomach upset comes up once a while.
It has been so since Monday.
Finally, before not too late, decided to see a doctor in neighborhood.
Same clinic as MoonFlower usually go on monthly basis.
Doctor examined me by asking more than several questions.
Checked the upper to lower stomach by touching.
He told me that I would go under medical check to see.
I knew that I would go under computed tomography ("CT").
It was MF's idea that I should go that clinic to get tested by CT.
That clinic wasn't that crowded… actually not crowded at all.
So CT exam took place for me, immediately.
And shortly after that, done.
Doc called me upon and started diagnosing by scrolling photos from CT with me.
He said something like:
Heart, no problem
Pancreas, no problem
Liver, no problem
Intestines, no problem
He concluded that only suspicious part of organ should be stomach. Nothing else.
So he recommended to take gastroscopy exam and I accepted.
That would take place next week.
Meanwhile, I was subscripted some medicine.
Wow, more than several kinds… am heavily overdosed! Hahaha.
Symptom was nothing severe or anything. Though, still there are some symptom for sure.
Will see how things would go.
Am sure that nothing serious it is anyway.
