Daydreaming Diaries

Another day is ending soon.

Today's dishes were:
For breakfast there was Toast with butter and a cup of black tea followed by a mandarin. For lunch I had rice, Natto, my medicine, a cup of water. Today's afternoon snack were 2 mandarins and a Japanese cookie (Senbei). -To be honest, it is very difficult for me stop eating sweets, especially now, because the parent's of my host family's mother brought a lot of traditional sweets from Kyushu. But I will be strong! I hope so - For dinner there was pork, miso-soup, green salad and tomatoes with an Italian low-fat dressing and for sure rice. Evening snack's : None. Just a cup of Japanese green tea.

I never thought it will be that difficult to withstand sweets. Junk food or fast food isn't difficult at all, because I never really liked this kind of food. So there is no problem in eating no more junk food. But as I already posted I was used to eat Melon bread for breakfast and a lot of other sweets, especially in the evening and at the night after having dinner. When I stayed at my boyfriend's place in Kobe, we always went to the Kombini before going back home in the evening and bought some strange candies. Well, I envy him. He's just eating and eating and eating and is just THAT skinny - not that skinny, that it looks disgusting, but skinnier than normal people. Whatever.

Today I also did some exercises, too. Not that much, because of my cold, but some for sure. My voice is getting better tough. But it still sounds like a chain-smoking old woman.

Anything else I should tell you? Actually not. Today was just nothing. Got up very late - 12 'o clock, had breakfast. Lunchtime was at 2 ' o clock after brushing my teeth, doing the washing-up and surfing in the internet. In the afternoon I studied Japanese grammar and realized that there are sill a few things I don't understand at all, because in German or English those things are just translated the same, while on Japanese the meaning should be different. But I will work hard on it for reaching my goal entering Kyoto university of foreign studies after attending a pre-college course at a Japanese language school, which will just make me more poor than poor. Unfortunately I grew up in a family without any money and felt in love with a guy, who has no money, too.
