VC-3000 cough drops

(Stocked up review again!) Got it in Japan last winter. Actually because of a lurking sore throat. Ya know, those when you don't drink enough water and don't eat enough fruit or veggie, especially during a trip. Ended up not eating any and brought the bag back home with me. It's sugarless (oops forgot to check if there's any aspartame) , lemon flavour, and quite mild. You can just eat it as ordinary candy.

Cold

OMG it's like winter! Day 13 night 7! The hail didn't come today but stays in the forecast. Rain, shine, rain, shine. Crazy. (So is my back...)

Goodbye summer

Gets so cold all of a sudden! Yikes! Summer is really gone. And the rain came as forecast. They say there will be hail tomorrow, so mom's been busy covering up the tomatoes and palm melons. I managed to sneak in some spray-painting. Argh why did I put it off for so long? Now that the rainy season started, it's bad for spray paint.

Manga $$$

2 manga and 1 magazine cost over $50. Sob sob sob... (10 + 10 + 30) At least this doesn't happen more than 4 or 5 times a year.

And this Pinky broke when I tried to swap legs. I didn't pull hard at all. They just came off as if they're brittle. Twilight zone must be hungry. Sob sob sob... it's a mystery how only one leg has a peg. (T_T)

Crash

Didn't see it happen, but close enough. I was held up at the intersection for a looong time. Every car slowed down to take a look. Finally the firetruck came and block off the traffic on the right. Only then could I turn left.

Windy today. That's probably why my body's been whinny.

Giant Caplico

(Wow! Still got a whole bunch of reviews from spring! Including this one right after my trip.)
Glico Giant Caplico Dry Ice Cream Cone with Strawberry and Chocolate Filling.
Yup, can't read from the photo and looked the proper name up online. Another piece of memory from my last Japan trip. Thanks Kazuyo! It's not unlike Aero. Sweetness is well controlled and very light. Slight tartness makes it even lighter. I really don't understand why the north American candies have to be so sweet and so heavy. This, you're satisfied afterward and not addictive.

Niece Pinky

My niece (11) drew a self portrait in Pinky style and I happened to have the right components (well, close enough).

Again, it's only 2 days after my chiropractor's appointment but my body is whining. What's going on???? (T_T) There is no rain in the forecast at least until the end of this weekend! (T_T)
