昨日は大学の友達と約束していた通り、
神戸まで行って遊んできた
１人体調不良で来れなかったのは残念やったけど

うち入れて３人でお昼頃集合して、ショッピング
冬休みのバイト代で、
下のピアスとブレスレットを購入
今日は人生で初めてもらったバイト代を使った日となりました


ここには写ってないけど、ベルトも買っちゃった
買い物はほどほどにしとかんとお金ってすぐ無くなる

ついこの前、ピアスの穴が塞がってしまうという事態が起きてしまったけど、
あれから毎日２４時間いつでもどこでもピアスをつけるようにしてたら、
強引に突き破った左耳の穴もきれいに治ってて、
ピアスを安心して楽しめそう

今回買ったピアスは、
店内にある数えきれないほどのピアスの中から、即決で購入
この色合いドンピシャで好み
ブレスレットは持ってなかったし、カジュアルな服に合いそうやから、
これも買った

お昼は韓国料理店に入って、
豆腐チゲのセットを食べた
バイキングだけは避けようと思って入った店やったけど、
頼んだ豆腐チゲに付いてたご飯がなんと、

おかわり自由

結局同じセットを頼んだ友達と一緒に３杯もおかわりしてしまった
結局食べ過ぎ
んで、デザートにクレープも

帰る時間までずーっと「お腹いっぱ〜ぁい」を連呼

しかし、楽しかった
久しぶりに神戸まで行ったし、あの独特の雰囲気はあんまり他では味わえない
友達とも色々おしゃべりして、いい気分転換になった
でも買い物してると、
欲しいものがあり過ぎて切りがない。
物欲よ、消えろー

今度遊ぶ時はカラオケとかボーリングとか出来たらいいなぁ[emoji:v-343]
お泊まりもいいなぁ
とにかく今ごっつ眠いおやすみ

As planned from before,
I went to Kobe with my university friends yesterday.
Unluckily, one couldn't come catching a cold.

So ultimately,
we three;counting myself,
gathered at noon and went shopping.

I bought a pierce and a bracelet,
spending my pay from the short term job I did last winter.
It was my first time to spend money that I got payed from working, in my life.

I love this pierces' color coordinate.
For me, it was outstanding from the uncountable pierces' displayed in the shop.
I bought without no hesitation.
And at the same time, I found this bracelet and thought that I didn't have one so I bought it too.

I also bought a belt that's not in this picture.
Must keep control of myself buying stuff impulsively, or the money would just disappear.

For lunch we ate at a Korean restaurant,
and I ordered a "Tofu Chige" set.
I was avoiding a "as much as you can eat " restaurant,
but the rice that came with the set was able to take a second helping service so eventually i ate three cups of rice.
We also had crepe for a dessert.
Of course I was full,
and I was just repeating to say "I'm so full",
until we decided to go home.

Anyways today I had a lot of fun!
It had been a while for me to visit Kobe and also meet my friends.
Just a chat seemed to be refreshening.

But shopping just makes you want to have more and more stuff.
Next time we go out,
I wanna go sing Karaoke or go bowling or just have a sleep over at someone's house.

I'm tremendously sleepy right now.
Good night & sweet dreams!

３月突入
昨日もいい天気やった
３週間前から何か、
週末は家族でルーカスの散歩がてら遠出するんが流行気味

快晴で気温も暖かかったので、
３、４日前に入ってたちらしにあった、
たい焼き屋さんを目指してルーカスの散歩

俄然モチベーション上がる

散歩にモチベーションが必要なのかは微妙なとこやけど。

普段より３０分長い散歩に行ってGETしてきたたい焼きちゃんです



全種類買ってきた
何か白いたい焼きが名物みたいで、
初めて見た
他にも外側がピンクの桜、緑の抹茶、茶色のチョコ、
中はカスタード、白あん、普通のあんこなど。

うちは白のたい焼きとチョコのやつ食べた



たい焼きが白いっていうのにも驚くけど、
何か皮が小麦粉じゃなくて、米粉で出来てるような、
もちみたいな食感

小麦粉の皮もいいけど、これもこれでおいしい

前はあえて長距離歩くのを好まなかったけど、
ぽかぽかの春らしい日に頻繁に行かない場所に出向いてみると、
新鮮で新しい発見もあってすごくおもしろい

明日は友達と遊ぶぞ
お気に入りのスポットやし、楽しみや

Hey! We entered March!
Yesterday was a fabulous weather.
From 3 weeks before,
we (my family) seem to be liking to go out for a longer walk than usual,
taking Lucas for a walk.

The sky perfectly blue,
and the temperature similar to spring season,
we decided to go to a "Taiyaki shop " (Taiyaki is a sweet, usually with bean paste inside a flour based crust) which we got to know on a flier that was in the post 3 or 4 days ago.

This is a effective motive to get you walking a distant.
I know it sounds a little lame,
wanting something to put you through for just a 30 min longer walk.

Anyways we bought home all the kind of Taiyaki.
The one with the white crust was a type of "Taiyaki" I've never seen before and I thought it was quite unique.
Also there were one's with a pink crust which is "cheery blossom", green which is "green tea", and brown for "chocolate".
There were variations of white bean paste, usual bean paste and custard for the inside filling.

I ate the white crust "Taiyaki" and the chocolate flavored one.

It sure was new to see a white crusted "Taiyaki",
but what was more attractive was the crust's texture.
Usually it's made mainly from flour but this time it felt more like a rice cake texture.
I like flour based crust but this one is another texture I like, as it is.

I used to be hesitate about walking a long distance,
but these past few weekends, we go out for a longer walk,
but now I realized that it is refreshening going out to place where you don't go very often.
You usually find a new thing that you didn't notice until then.

Tomorrow I'm gonna go out with my friends.
And it's even more exciting, since were going to one of my favorite place.

火曜日ちゃうけど、
今日は晩ご飯作り担当

バレンタインデーに使ったライ麦粉がまだ残っていたので、
流れで主食はライ麦パンということに

「マッシュポテトのミートソース乗せ」のリクエストもあったので、
これにサラダを添えたメニューに決定

いつも晩ご飯作りを任されると、
張り切り過ぎて、
結局容量オーバーで手に負えなくなって、
完成予定時刻に間に合わなかったり、
焦って味付けに失敗したりすることが多い

今回は３品やったし、
自分で管理出来るメニューやった。
きれいに晩ご飯の予定時刻に間に合わせて堂々完成



最初これにスープつけようかとか言ってたけど、
３品にとどめておいて正解やった

今日の晩ご飯はそんなにインパクトはないけど、
すごく素朴な味で、飽きない
ドイツ料理とかよく知らないけど、
食べてて、何かドイツの家庭料理みたいなイメージが湧いてきた

ライ麦パンは初めて作ったけど、
もっとパサついて口が渇くかなと思いきや、
バターもスキムミルクも使ってないのに、
外はカリッ（カッチカチに近かったけど）、
中はしっとり
そのまま食べてもおいしかった

パンの中の写真やけど、
パンのちぎり方へた　たぶんこの写真見てもなんも伝わらん



「マッシュポテトのミートソース乗せ」はじゃがいもの水分が飛びきってなくて、
ちょっとベチョってたけど、パンにペーストみたいにして乗せて食べると丁度良かった

お母さんには今回の晩ご飯が一番大成功って感じてもらえたみたいで、
作った甲斐があった
うちは前回のナンの方が作ってて楽しかったし、
食べててもバリエーションがあっておもしろかった

次は何を作ろうかな

Though it's not Tuesday,
I was in charge of making today's dinner.

The rye flour from valentine's day was still left,
so the main food was naturally set to be Rye bread.
There was also a request of "mashed potato with meat sauce topping",
so the menu was settled with salad added to it.

Whenever I get to be in charge of making dinner,
I always get too eager in cooking and end up not being able to handle the menu.
Whenever I get into this kind of situation,
I can't make it to the scheduled time of dinner,
or fail the flavoring because I get in haste to finish cooking dinner in time.

This time I planned to make only 3 dishes,
so that made it easy for me to handle.

I finished cooking dinner adjusting the time perfectly to today's scheduled time!

At first I was thinking of adding a soup with it,
but it was a correct decision that I didn't do that.

Today's menu doesn't have a content that stands out,
but for an exchange, it gives you a taste of homely flavor,
and doesn't make you get tired of it.
I'm not familiar with German food,
but today's dinner made me imagine a home cooking of German.

It was my first time to bake a Rye bread,
so I thought it would turn out to be more dry,
and takes away your moisture from your mouth.
But what a surprise!
Though I hadn't used butter or skim milk,
the bread was so delicious!
The crunchy outside and the inner moist was a nice contrast.

The "mashed potato with meat sauce topping" tasted great.
But I should have vaporized the water from the potato more,
to prevent it from ending up more like a paste.
But actually, the paste form potato matched the bread,
spreading it on.

It was a pleasure for my mom giving me a remark that today's dinner was that best out of the one I've ever made.
For me the previous dinner was the best (Nan bread),
because both making and eating was enjoyable with the variation of the flavor of the curry.

Now......
what am I gonna cook next?

明日で２月も終わり

今日で自分が摂取したカロリーを記録するノートも、
１冊目が終了



後２ページあったらきれいに３月から２冊目に突入出来たのに〜

にしても、新しいノートがない
調達せな

せっかく１カ月カロリー計算続けたんやし、
EXCELで統計とろうかと考え中
でもEXCEL使いこなせてないから、
めっちゃ時間かかかりそう
とりあえず始めてみるか

残りの春休みもカロリー計算はするけど、
前よりも正確に記録していこう

雑にカロリー計算やってるわけじゃないけど、
細かく刻まれた具だくさんのチャーハンを、
調理後に各材料１種類ずつ食べては測りを繰り返してると、
なかなかご飯が進まないので、
こういう時は自分で勝手に「こんなもんやろ」って、
重さをだいたいguessで書いたりする時もあった

たまに加工食品を食べたりすると、
カロリーの表示がなかったりで、
似たような食材を食品成分表で見っけて代用したりもした

友達と外食して、
食べ放題なんていくと、もう計算なんかせんでも、
ひどい量食べてるの目に見えてるし、
たった１食の外食で、丸１日のカロリー計算を放棄したり

こういうことを減らしていかんとね

お昼に細かく刻まれた具だくさんのチャーハンが出てくるのが分かってるんやったら、
調理するお母さんにくっついて、
調理する前に材料の重さを前もって測っておくとか

食べ放題はなるべく行かないとか（でも食べたい時もある・・）

新しいノートで気持ちも入れ替えていこう

Tomorrow's gonna be the last day of this month.

Today I finished using my first notebook which I recorded my calories on.
If there was another 2 pages left, I could of started my second notebook from the beginning of March.
But the problem is,
I don't have a new notebook to start with.
Got to go and get one.

Since I continued this calorie recording for a month,
right now I'm thinking of using this data statistically.
Maybe I'll try using the microsoft excel.
But I've never used it thoroughly so I think it will take me a while.
Well I'll think about it concretely, after I put my hands on it first.

I'm still gonna continue recording my calories this latter half of spring break,
but I better be more accurate on my recording.

It's not that I'm recording it carelessly.

When a Chinese fried rice comes for lunch,
there are so many material's that are minced into small pieces.
If I repeat eating one kind of material then weigh it,
it would cost me so much time and my food might get cold.
So at a time like this,
I just guessed how much minced vegetables or meat were in it.

For processed food, sometimes there was no indication of calories on it.
So I substituted a value from a similar kind of food from the food element table.

When I go out to eat with a friend,
I always ate at an "eat as much as you want" restaurant,
and it was obvious that I took too much calories.
It felt like there wasn't much of a meaning left,
to calculate the calories,
so whenever finished my lunch outside,
I just abandon my whole calorie recording for the day.

From now on I have to cut down these kind of carelessness.

I could prevent the first problem from weighing the minced materials,
before my mom mix it up and cooks it.

I should restrain myself going out for lunch.

I'm gonna refresh my spirit with my new notebook.

もうちょっとで２月も終わる。
春休みも半分を過ぎようとしていて、
早いなぁって感じやけど、
もう春休みに飽きてきた。
充実感がないっていうか。

カロリー計算とか運動とかCNNとかいろいろ続けてるけど、
習慣化してくると飽きてくる。
まだまだ知らんことも多いし、
やらなあかんことってたくさんあるはずやのに、
何か暇な感じがする。
残りの１カ月の春休みはどう過ごそうか？

運動に関しては何も成果がないっていうか、
どんどん太っていく気がして、
モチベーション下がってきた。
まぁ昨日パン食べ放題で小さいパンであったものの、２０個食べてしまった。
にしても、何か納得いかん。

しっかりせな、うち！

February is about to end,
and half of the spring break has passed.
It feels like time has gone by real fast,
but on the other hand,
each day is lacking a sense of fulfillment and it feels so monotonous and boring.

I am continuing my calorie recording, exercise, and listening to CNN etc,
but as it becomes a habit,
it's doesn't feel as interesting before.
I know that I have a lot of things I don't know and have a lot to learn about,
but can't help myself feeling bored and vacant.
How am I gonna spend the coming half of spring break??

What makes me more daunted is the result of the exercise.
I'm not trying to loose a bunch of weight.
It's just that I want to tighten up my body more.
Though I'm going the other direction.
Don't know why.
Well remarkably, yesterday I ate 20 pieces of small bread.
Still I'm not satisfied with this present situation.

Got to pull myself together!
