New Style Manga Cafe

To be honest, I don't feel confortable being in Manga Kissa, a place you can read as many Manga books in a louge space - typical not only for Otaku or NEAT, but for anyone who wants to kill time until your next plans. It's not that I'm being posh but just that I couldn't be brave enough to break in the atmosphere where Otaku guys concentating in there stories. I'd rather go to bookstores and 'stand-read (Tachi-Yomi)' without buying them, which is not an elegant thing to do anyway.

Except for today, that I really had to find a place where I could use internet after work (you see, the company's filtering system is so secured you can't use web mails from work), as I had to hand in my translated documents. Helas, I found THE place to spend hours and hours and was just few minuts away from where I work!

A nice and clean Manga Cafe where ladies can go by themselves.

Aprecio.

The fee was not bad with Internet service, free Manga reading as well as magazines included. Also with flow drink and.... softcream! For a sweet tooth like me, it caught my heart. I made myself a nice cup of Affogato to sip while translating.

Again to be honest, a place I don't want to recommend.

Skinny Bitch

When having my hair cut, my stylist asked me suddenly,
'Do you like meat?'
so I replied 'Yes I'm a meat lover'.

I got home to start reading the book I just got yesterday and found out how horrible the animals are treated in farms.

My first move to go vegan... by the way, how did the stylist find out I loved meat? my chubby face?

Books on Learning English

I found this book in my bookshelf so decided to start learning from today. According to Google Japan's vice-president, Mr. Murakami, the ideal way to learn English is to finish an English book per day.

By the way it took me an hour to remember all the vocabs in the first 50 pages... Now i shall have to find how to speed up... The next book i'm seeking for is this ↓

オーガニックコスメのある生活

ドイツ式オーガニックコスメのある生活
真の美肌力を生み出すオーガニックビューティーの秘密

緒方ヴェストベルグ美樹著

Since when I was a child my parents used to order Organic Vegetables and now I myself order them each week. Using organic products keeps me energetic and peaceful. However it is not easy to buy only the organic products considering cost and selection of goods so I stay flexible and don't insist too much on them.

During a party, a friend told that she was longing to live in Germany where the lifestyle and education are advanced. I was intersted in the examples and took this book in a store.

It was very intersting to know how the auther, who had been transferred to Frankfurt after having lived in Tokyo like many other people living in modern cities, was attracted by organic cosmetics. She told in her book that when she first met WELEDA hand cream and applied on her hand, her tears suddenly fell naturally, which she explained later in the chapter that they were provoked in necessity by the natual power of organic plants condensed in the cream.

I went home and decided at first to get rid of the chemical products as many as I could. And for the shampoos I didn't want to waste, they were classified to be used as linen soap etc.

The chapter explaing the close relation between human and plants was also impressive. That explained why camomile tea was taken for stomach ache.

It is now logical that we feel refreshed and relaxing only by walking in the trees and admire the plants and flowers just as I did this afternoon... We can't live without plants!
