Nutmeg - ナツメグ


What a wonderful surprise I have today! My dear friend,Florence,she bought me two packets of perserved Nutmeg from Malaysia. I had been longing to eat this exquisite fruit for so long!I can't buy any at all where I live.So it is really precious to me!



Don't mistaken me for eating the brown Nutmeg powder which is a superb spice for some cuisine. What I like the most is the pulp of the nutmeg. Nutmeg is not a nut,but the kernel of an apricot-like fruit. The pulp of the nutmeg after some good preservation with sugar,it really taste exotic and heavenly good! You must try it someday.

All of these booklet used the evenly-dyed paper painting.Enjoy the paintings!







Green Idea - 緑色のアイデア


I signed up to Ideal Bite and getting excellent green newsletter and eco-tip daily.The site loaded with lots of great and fun green informations.



My first project was to reuse the mineral plastic bottle.I love green plant specially those with great looking leaf and manage to grown flourishingly indoor without much care.I turned some of my green plants from using glass vases into used plastic mineral bottle.Cut a hole on one side of the plastic bottle and filled with sour.Plant your green and place on a mat or some stone to stabilize it.It look really great!

I filled some color sand with funnel into smaller plastic bottle and turned it into gorgeous decoration display item. It is so easy and satisfaction guarantee!


Start your green work today and you will feel the change!

Shoes - 靴



I like Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) from Sex and The City the most out of the four hot ladies.The biggest reason for me to choose her over the other is "shoes".She loves shoes and so do I. Women simply adore shoes . I'm sorry if it's not you.

Did you suffer from foot pain, blisters, corns or even broken toenail? I did.I am one of those who sacrifice foot comfort for fashion.

Yesterday,my doctor Christina told me,"Do you know that finding a pair of shoes that fit which means healthier feet?So please stop buying and wearing those dangerously high or ill-fitted shoes!".This was when I consulted her for an unbearable blister on my toe.

I think now is about time for me to choose a pair of shoes and sneakers not for fashion but for comfort.

Gift - 贈り物


I was hunting for a perfect gift for my son's classmate birthday few days ago.Finally I bought a latest PSP game for him.In fact ,this was what my son wanted for himself and he thought this will served good to his friend too.We actually had some argument over what to buy for his friend.No matter how unwillingly ,I gave in at the end cause I wanted to show my son that I respected his opinion.What we argued about was how much his friend needed the item and for what purpose.To my son, Samuel ,entertaining counted all.But not to me.

It was once, I bought a lovely soft toy for my five years old niece, Joey.I had it wrapped with precious present paper which full of love and in pink. I loved the wrapping so much that I almost wanted to keep it for myself.But I didn't. She torn down the present without spending more than 5 section on the looking of it.On that moment, my heart as if broken into pieces together with that nice present wrapping. From that day onward, all my present will be with simple wrapping or even without any.Thanks to my little niece ,I cut down on buying wrapping paper and the time on doing so.

What is your perfect gift definition? Depend On the value ,meaning or usefulness?To me ,usefulness is the major concern
