Although I didn’t write this story, I remember that my husband threw away one egg white because the part he needed was yolk. After he cooked, I asked him, “Where is the yolk of the egg?” Then I scold him that what you’ve done is a waste of…

After it became necessary to wear masks in public places, I didn’t feel like going outside. But the day when I had to buy some food was finally coming. So I found the easiest way to make masks on the Internet. That was great and materials …

I watched the press conference of Andrew Cuomo who is, needless to say, the governor of New York State and he holds the conference everyday to explain the latest details around us, the policy of this state and his thoughts. Actually, I had…

I sometimes read Japanese comic books which are for girls (and I also like them for boys also) because I occasionally feel I need the same butterflies in my stomach as I got when I was young. When I read one scene with it, suddenly I reali…

I’m studying English in some ways and one of them is online lessons which are run by Japanese company. My routine is 30 mins everyday. There are so many teachers in this system because there are a lot of Japanese learners. Today’s teacher …

There is something I want to appreciate. This is to live here NY during such a difficult time. I often think, “If I were still in Japan, I wouldn't have the present feeling that is an appreciation for workers in the frontline around the wo…

In the past, John F. Kennedy delivered (and other famous people like Al Gore also used), “In the Chinese language, the word “crisis” is composed of two characters, one representing danger and the other, opportunity.” As well as Kanji, whic…

Many museums around the world now have some virtual things such as tours, classes, etc. and we can enjoy them as if we visit them. As well as them, The Met, located in E 82nd Fifth ave. in Manhattan, has a storytelling program for children…

I like drinking coffee. Before I moved to NY, I didn’t care about their taste so much. That was nothing but coffee. After starting a new life in NY, I came to make coffee by myself a lot at home and now I’m doing it everyday. From last wee…

It’s been almost one year since I made a habit of doing Yoga almost everyday. I always use videos which show one of the famous Japanese Yoga teachers. Her way of teaching is very clear and this is a crucial key to becoming popular. Today, …

It was our first time when we talked on the Web although she didn’t show up into the camera because she said “I already took off my makeup.” She is my friend from University and now works in the Greater Tokyo Area. After our graduation fro…

Since the start of this year, I’ve resumed practicing the piano. My present practice song is “Maiden’s Prayer” in English. That was written by Badarzewska as the original name “Midlitwa dziewicy” in Polish in 1856. This melody is beautiful…

One song keeps playing in my head. This is “Bad Day” that was made by Daniel Powter from Canada a while ago. This song is said to be made after his struggle at that time because he hadn’t made hit songs until then. Recentry, in this hard s…

We met in Yangon, Myanmar. We had each big backpack in the bus terminal, and our first conversation was “Would you keep your eye on my backpack for a while?” from her. That was on the way to my second destination called Bagan where there a…

I found an exciting advertisement on instagram. That is from my favorite dessert shop which is the first bar of mousse in the U.S. The news is they are planning a special menu for this Easter Sunday collaborated with another Belguian resta…

Recentry, I’m not sure when I started doing but maybe after the lockdown, I’ve been thinking about people who are still working in NY. In my understanding, all of them are working for us, which means they are working to protect our lives a…

This is an unforgettable question I’ve been asked. This was from a man sitting next to me in the airplane while returning to NY from London last November. I felt a little scared and answered, “Sorry, I’m not a religious person.” “I don’t h…

This is about food. If a meal is too hot, what do you add into it? Sugar? Honey? Yes, they can work. But today, I want to say thank you to eggs. Most meals I’ve ordered for dinner last night were too hot, especially for my husband, and som…

Tonight, I held a dinner party with my friends. It was held with a camera and microphone through the internet. We delivered our meal from a local restaurant, but there was a rule that we had to order Korean cuisine today. Though, actually,…

My husband, his mom and I usually talk with a group chat. The mom is cute and pretty laid back. That’s why she sometimes makes us laugh. This happened today again. Recently, I’ve received more messages which ask about our situation against…

I’ve worked for the company, which was my second company, for only one year before coming to N.Y. Though the term was literally short, those days taught me a lot of things. First, the vision is shared among leaders. Second, there are trust…

These days, I received some messages from my friends who live in Japan because of the unprecedented situation. The news about the lockdown N.Y. seems to be broadcasted on sensationalism there. Despite their anxiety, actually, I could find …
