Around Forty, looks like Twenties.

Around Forty, in short, Ara Four means a person is 36 to 44. “OMG I’ll be around forty next year!” Women under 35 is very tough position, either you’re married or not married.   “Obasan” means middle aged women in Japanese. Also pronounce the same as aunt. Most women can’t accept the fact you will be called this way.   20 years ago, above 30 is considered Obasan. Now though, because of so many both famous and unknown ordinary women keep themselves look young changes images of over thirty still young and beautiful.   You can look pretty good in thirties no problem but how about in 40’s? Around 40 is the challenging time for women. Especially in Japan, age matters. Women around thirty is getting nervous about whether if she will get married by early thirty or at least build a certain relationship to be married and have family together, well, sounds like kind of similar everywhere though. Because of long recession, its harder for young people to hav...

My gut is boiling with anger.

Harawata ga niekurikaeru. means My gut is boiling. This is  a Japanese expression. Harawata is intestine. There are so many expression to connect intestine and emotion. I read some articles about intestine health and mental health is closely connected. My son's scooter (not a razor, pro scooter, its expensive) was stolen by the same elementary school boy. My son and his friend were inside a seven eleven and they noticed my son's scooter was taken by a boy and his older brother. They rushed outside and chased them but they lost them after the first left at the end of the block. My son cried so much and came home. I went with them to search for the boy and tried to find where they were, but no luck. We came back home and called police. They'll look into the camera. I hope my son's scooter is coming back soon.

This worked for my ear popping

I introduced the product that helped my allergy in here. This worked for my allergy The same thing helped for my ear popping on the airplane. I sometimes have terrible ear popping when the airplane is landing. I once or twice had a terrible headache and didn't have no idea where that was coming from at first. I saw other people were just excited to see houses or building below so I knew it wasn't poisonous gas or something. when I found out that was just an ear popping, I was shocked. My headache did went away as soon as the plane landed. When I went to Japan recently and finally the plane was going to land, I hear babies on the plane starting to cry. I thought "Poor babies they might have going thru like I was" but my sympathy went away as soon as I was feeling bad ear popping. I usually carry some homeopathy remedies in my bag so I tried some that might helped me, but it didn't. I remembered about this allergy spray so I tried. Surprisingly, my ear fel...

Beautiful Witches over 40

Image
In Japan, women over 40 but look young and beautiful are called "BiMajo" means "Beautiful Witches" There are lots of them not only on TV but everywhere in Japan. I want to be one of them but I was kind of lazy to take care of my skin so hard and spend money. I turned 44 recently and I used to asked for my ID when I buy wine or beer but not recently.  I need to stop and rewind my clock now, so I am using this Cray mask. After doing this, I can tell my skin has more moisture. You just mix cray powder and apple cider vinegar, using plastic bowl and spoon, same amount, I put one table spoon plus each. I leave about 20 min. and rinse. You'll see redness on your face here and there after doing this, but it will disappear.

Zumba Zumba!

I sometimes go to Zumba with my friend on Saturday morning. My daughter and my friend's daughter both go to Saturday Japanese school in the morning. Their class is only for 3 hours and there's happened to be right near by this Zumba studio so we decided to try. My friend goes fitness club and does zumba every now and then and she told me how cool Zumba is. I wouldn't go by myself if anybody asked me, but I gave it a try. I used to do some Jazz dance when I was young but recently I haven't done any dancing or workout for a while. I prefer Yoga (slow and relaxing you know) There are all kind of generation in the class, from early 20s to early 70sh.. Some people have weights on their hands. As we paid entrance fee, I asked "Who's the teacher?" and the late 40's looking woman said "Me." My friend and I looked at each other because she didn't look like she can dance, but she can! She moved tirelessly, the whole an hour without stoppi...
