Which Chain Do You Like?


I'm sorry, for me, there isn't a big difference among their gyudons. I left workplace late last night, so I didn't want to wait eating meal until I got home. It takes for 1.5 hours from my workplace to home and I was absolutely hungry. I stopped by yoshinoya under the station and had a quick meal. While eating alone, I remembered about something. Some guy thinks that I love yoshinoya just because we went there once. But the fact was, it was okay for me to have a quick cheap meal and I saw yoshinoya there, that was it. It might have been his first time being to yoshinoya (I'm not sure), and it seemed like he didn't like it so much. He loves sukiya. Actually, I didn't feel too comfortable about the way when he mentioned that I liked yoshinoya very much. It sounded one-sided for me. I had denied once, but for some reason, he believed so and kept saying it. I wonder why.

There are some gyudon chains like yoshinoya, matsuya or sukiya. I've been all of the three (I know there are more), but don't know what is differet. Yes, of course I know they are different, but for me, they are almost the same; they don't have an inportant difference for me. Ok, if I say something, matsuya gives us misosoup by free when if we order gyudon, so maybe I go there if I find all 3 very close to each other, that's it. All of them are okay for me. Not that yummy, but not bad as well. It's ok to have meal at such places because they provide us quickly and the price is affordable. A kind of Japanese style fast food, lol. I remember that I saw yoshinoya at Bugis in Singapore and was shocked because the menu was so different, hahaha.

Never mind, I'm just saying about a thing that came up to my mind randomly. It's worthless...

Recent Style Of Spending Time


I grabbed a book that was half-finished and another one that I hadn't started reading yet. I took a train and went downtown in my city. I thought where to go for a bit when I got there, but decided to go to karaoke. Once I went there alone for the first time, I haven't felt shy going there alone anymore. It's a good place to release the stress that I've stored up. I can sing (scream?) there a lot and no one cares, lol. I have poor repertory of songs, however, tried to sing a new one today. It's a song from Turky which my sister tried to sing the other day when we went to karaoke. The lyrics are not so interesting for me but I like the rhythm. After feeling refreshed there, I went to Mcdonald's to grab some coffee. There are two Mcdonald's around the station, and I like the newer one. It opened maybe last year or so, and it still looks clean. I like taking one of the seats which is just in front of the big windows so I can see outside. There is a doughnut chain whose name is "mister doughnut" obliquely across the street and I can see people sitting there from the seat. Actually, I like taking a seat there as well. Nursing coffee, I read books. Sometimes, I saw around my seat, saw outside of the window and watch people passing by. I feel very relaxed when I do it. I wanna do it at a STARBUCKS at Shibuya which locates beside the scramble crossing but haven't gotten a chance yet, lol.

Recently I spend my off days like this when I have no plans. I don't feel like staying at home bored anymore. It's better to go outside however I just stay at a cafe (Mcdonald's) and read a book. I mostly go to the library, get books and read them there. Of course it's better to have some events sometimes. For now, I have 3 events in coming 3 months; friend's party after her wedding party, a real escape game, and Luna Regalo. I also want to go to a fireworks display. Till last summer, I hadn't thought about going there unless I have someone to go with, however, I feel like it's ok to go alone, just sitting on the riverside grabbing some beer, lol. I'm sure I'll look like a lonely poor girl if I do it tho. It's interesting that I like summer more than winter now. I didn't have any preference about seasons before. It may be because I enjoyed traveling some South East Asian countries, but I'm not sure.

Just Random Things


●I want to give a prize to the person who made this :) 杏仁豆腐...It's what I love a lot as much as mangoes, lol. I had never expected they would make a drink of it. As soon as I saw it in the vending machine at work, there was no reason to refrain from trying it. And you know, I love it (>∀<)ノ★ Even I'm not a person who usually buys drink from vending machine, I'm sure I'll spend some money for this drink this summer. It caught my heart, lol.

●My brother took a part in a bicycle race in Okutama the other day. There were more than 600 people, and some of them were professional biker. My brother was 36th of the race, wasn't it a great thing? :D But the funny thing was, what he said firstly when he came back home from the race was, "Hey, I was touched my xxx by an Italian guy", ROFLMAO. He told me the guy even told him that he wanted to see him naked!!!! XD What was going on there? He went to the race, and got a sexual harassment by a middle aged Italian guy but exchanged mobile address with him later. It's so weird. But I guessed why. My brother wore jinbei at the race (I'm sure nobody else did such a crazy thing) and maybe it caught the Italian guy's attention...Errrrr, maybe much more people's attention. I guess, Japanese people were too shy to speak to him even they got interested. Especially, my brother looks a little bit scary to speak to, lol. As the guy is Italian, maybe he was cheerful and didn't mind speaking to the funny Japanese guy, lol. I asked my brother if he would't go drinking with the guy since he got his mobile address. It will be funny if they do, don't you agree? :P

●I was asked to help my co-worker as a receptionist at her wedding party. Of course I said sure. However, I wonder what I have to do; I haven't even been to anyone's wedding so I have no idea what to do for now, and I also wonder if I can wear clothes like other people wear there. Do receptionists have to wear suits??? Too bad if I miss the chance wearing the Ao dai I made in such a case!
