I’ve often eaten out alone since I was young, but I used to say, ‘A yakiniku restaurant is the one place that’s hard to go alone.’ Recently, though, I’ve managed to go. My next challenge is ‘going solo at a buffet.
I think it was just in my hometown, but sweatshirts with a triangle at the neck (a V-gusset) were the definition of ‘uncool’ when I was in elementary school. Because of that, I still don’t really like them. Uniqlo comes out with great colors for sweatshirts every year, but if there’s a triangle at the neck, I won’t buy it.”
When I’m on a crowded train with nothing to hold onto, I plant my feet firmly and try to grip the ground with my toes, which helps me stay steady. Terakado Jimon mentioned this technique a long time ago, and I’ve been doing it ever since.
As I’ve gotten older, my sleep has become lighter, and I was waking up multiple times during the night, struggling to fall back asleep. I tried something called ‘mindfulness sleep,’ and it helped me fall asleep quickly and stay asleep until morning. There are various methods if you search online, but the approach that worked for me is: ・Lying in my favorite position ・Mentally listing all the things my body is touching ・Taking deep breaths while listing them I usually fall asleep in about five minutes.
While I was waiting at a traffic light, someone who looked like Attack Nishimoto rushed past at high speed. I wonder if it was actually him or just someone who looked similar… But I don’t often see such a perfect crew cut like that.
I’ve been really into tacos lately, so I went to Kitade Tacos & Sake. I can’t say for sure if it’s authentic, but it was completely different from the American tacos I had in the past! It was delicious.
I saw a video on Instagram of a man using aloe juice on his hair to make his curls more defined, and it cought my interest. However, I gave up because it’s hard to get fresh aloe. Then I thought, maybe aloe gel with a high aloe content would work the same way? So, when I washed my hair, I mixed in some aloe gel, and my curls stayed defined all day long. This was a great discovery.
