Daydreaming Diaries

I`m in Kobe now at my boyfriend`s place since Friday afternoon. I arrived at half past 4 p.m in Sannomiya, Kobe, was picked up by my boyfriend after finishing his work and luckily we went out for having dinner. To be honest I don`t remember either where we went for having dinner or at least what we ate for dinner. But after having dinner we went to "Mister Donut" for collecting another 30 points. And after buying those 2 or 3 donuts and some soft drinks we had 150 points for spending on any "Ponde Lion" or another "Mister Donut" stuff. Well, I felt in love with the "Ponde Lion" strap for cell phones, but unfortunately it was already November and therefore it wasn`t available anymore. In this moment I felt like a little child being told that Santa Claus doesn`t exist. Shaming isn`t it? Well, sometimes I`m still the child I once have been. Because my lovely strap wasn`t available anymore, we chose another strap for my cellphone. A pink donut, which isn`t that lovely Ponde Lion would have been. - I`m sorry, I`m still in love with this strap, which isn`t available anymore and kind of frustrated. -

On Saturday (Yesterday) we went out for having lunch at a small restaurant near the JR Kobe station and it was really delicious. I had some grilled chicken with salad, a lot of vegetables with some different dips, rice, miso-soup and coffee jelly for desert. It was a lot to eat and just about 780\. After having a great dinner, we decided to go to Kobe`s Harborland for buying some room wear clothes, because it`s getting colder and colder in Japan and because I came here in summer I didn`t bring many winter clothes with me. We went to UNIQLO, which has a lot of cheap and especially a lot of room wear clothes for selling. I bought some pink and white bordered fluffy(もこもこ) pants and some very cute pink and white dotted, but also fluffy(モコモコ) Pajama, because I was used to wear some shirt and trunks or at least some short pants for sleeping, but since it`s becoming winter some warm pajama has been needed. Because my boyfriend also needed some warm pajama, but didn`t have any money with him, I bought one for him, too and because I paid it for him, he took me out for Yakiniku in the evening and I already posted a few times how much I love it. But this time my boyfriend noticed something I actually have forgotten about. He told me that, when I came to Japan, but also when I was living in Germany I didn`t touch raw meat and I was kind of scared of entering the meat-selling kiosk of a department store or anywhere else placed. But now I`m in Japan since about 4 months and I just don`t care what I`m eating. I mean it doesn`t matter if I know the thing I`m going to eat or if it would be the first time eating is. I don`t care about raw meat or strange fish anymore. Yesterday I ate some meat made of a tongue, liver or a heart of an animal. To be honest, in Germany I never - NEVER - even looked at those things. Another thing my boyfriend mentioned yesterday during our dinner is, that I`m "becoming Japanese". If I`m eating something like fish or meat without some rice I don`t want to eat it, because the rice is missing. If I`m eating something very very sweet I want to drink some green tea after eating it. Things like this he told me. I didn`t notice it, but it`s true.

Today will be my last day together with my boyfriend, because tomorrow he will go to work, while I will pack my things and go back to Nagoya by bus at about half past 1 p.m.

Just a few days ago I visited a blog of a Japanese college student doing some "fit and healthy challenge" by her own. At the beginning I just read is and thought "nice!", but now I`m really inspired and kind of motivated to do something like this, too. And therefore I will start on Monday after returning to Nagoya doing my own "fit & healthy challenge". Doing some sports, less sweets and candies, more healthy food, writing down what I ate and so on.

So far, bye bye.☆
