こんばんは。げんき？

からあげをたべました！すごいおいしかった。Tonight we had karaage for dinner. It was so good! And also, as you can see in the first photo, we enjoyed a bit of saké. 🍶 It’s a bottle that we picked out at the market in California while we were on vacation. Just a small taste before we ate. It’s a school night after all. 😆

It seems like we had karaage not too long ago, but it’s always a welcome dinner. When Mariko told me we were having it, I said, “Yay!” When I told Bay, he said, “Yay!” When I told Koa, he said, “Really? Yay!” So we all enjoyed it. Koa like to have his with plenty of freshly squeezed lemon, Bay prefers his with a bit of Kewpie mayo, and I like it both ways, and also with a bit of salt to dip in. So yummy!

I hope you had a nice Thursday.

Yuta’s Take on Logan Paul

Misc.Leave a Comment on Yuta’s Take on Logan Paul

I have been following the Logan Paul controversy a bit, but didn’t really know who he was or what his videos were about. But one Youtuber that I subscribe to and respect, Yuta, posted his take on Logan Paul, and I have to say he’s spot on. After watching Logan Paul’s other Japan videos, I am kind of pissed off. Logan Paul is an asshole.

Please take a moment to watch Yuta’s video for his perspective.

こんばんは。

So, it’s the second day of the new year, and I decided to renew some habits that I started last year. The first is to do my daily exercise of morning squats and evening planking. I’ve been inconsistent lately, but not too bad. Mariko and Bay said I should also do some stretching or yoga poses too, and I think that is a good idea so I might try to work that into my routine.

I’m also going to keep up with my daily blogging and my daily photos. These are things I’ve been doing for a couple years now and I don’t see a good reason why I should stop.

Lastly, I will renew my efforts to learn Japanese. Each night I write a bit of hiragana and katakana and I will start taking more notes on vocabulary and try to quit writing in romaji. Perhaps the photo above will be the last romaji?

I think these things are doable, considering my current schedule, and just doing little by little hasn’t been difficult in 2017.

Oh, and one more new thing for me will be to make a short 1-second video every day. At the end of the year, we’ll see how the completed movie turns out!

So, on to the habits that I will release this year. The first is my daily journal writing. I think that it became a little redundant since I write daily here in this blog. Next, I am going to stop playing video/mobile phone games so much. I won’t quit completely, but I feel like that is a huge time-sink that could be better spent reading, studying, or drawing.

Anyway, that’s my re-focusing for 2018.

I hope you had a nice Tuesday!
