I can’t tell if its the effect of the stifling heat, I can’t get my eyes away from anything that says “cool and refresh”.

There was this fruit jelly that keeps “haunting” me.
It looks so temptingly delicious with all the fruits immersed in it.
A few spoonfuls are all I need… o(=^.^=)o

How about a little scenario like this?
It is a hot night and you just had a hot shower. The sky is clear and you can see stars. You recalled the jelly in the fridge. So you take one along with you to the balcony, and enjoy the chilled jelly while watching the starlit sky.

So what do you get out of this “little scenario”?
Well,,, nothing other than to appreciate more about the chilled jelly and starry sky.

The jelly comes in six different fruits.
Cherry, blueberry, kiwi, pear, mango and grape fruit if your are keen.

Deciding that he needs a companion, Rilakkuma was chosen for the task to encourage and give him strength.

I bought Rilakkuma back. For the first time, I checked Rilakkuma thoroughly. It is amazing to know that despite having such small body, he has a big, heavy head. He looks very unproportional, but soon I realized that the design was intentionally to bring out the cuteness in Rilakkuma. Somehow Rilakkuma resembles his soon-to be little friend (@^-^@)

He likes Rilakkuma very much.
Rilakkuma became a close “friend” soon, and everyday he will try to stuff Rilakkuma into his bag which is way too small to fit in Rilakkuma. With Rilakkuma’s head popping out of the bag, he brings Rilakkuma to nursery and embraces Rilakkuma in his sleep everyday. Sometimes he wraps his hand around the neck of Rilakkuma. Other times, he will just seize one of the ears of Rilakkuma carrying it around.

HE is my NEPHEW.
My nephew had overcame the fear of nursery and now he loves going there!
Rilakkuma has opened his heart. My strategy worked!　v(*^-^*)v
And all thanks to Rilakkuma.

Get your lettuce ready!”
So bet you thought the person who said so is nuts?

lettuce group

“Vegetabrella” is the most talked about umbrella in Japan. An umbrella that looks exactly like a lettuce when its folded. “Tokyo Noble” who designed and produced “vegetabrella”, has been trying to keep up with their production, after orders came pouring in.

How they made efforts to study the lettuce real closely is obvious. The coloring, wrinkled texturing came close to that of real lettuce. Even the fastener strap looks like that used in the supermarket to hold the lettuce together!

“Ermm… Why are you walking around with a lettuce?” Be prepared to be asked (o^-^o) 　

And the good news. The surface is processed to cut out UV. So apart from rainy days, it is handy during summer days too. Lettuce umbrella is probably a good idea, if you are looking for something unique and creative for a present.

Pray hard they will come up with other veggies versions like pumpkins, eggplant, radish, etc. I would definitely love to see the streets flooded with vegetable umbrellas of all sorts and colors. Meanwhile, we will have to stick to lettuce umbrella for now.

So don’t get it mixed up with the real lettuces bought from supermarket. (^_-*)

The varieties of the design was simply too much that it took me 2 weeks to finally decide one. Ok, I do admit that I am lack of decisiveness. Could be in the roots (v_v) ?

Since I am particular about design, I decided to get a hard case instead of a soft one. If you ask me if a hard case can protect a phone, my answer will be:
It should be able to protect the phone from scratches, but should not help much in shock resistance.

But I still love hard covers because there are too many wonderful designs for one to pick from.
The case shown on the left of the picture is what I had bought for my iphone.
Doesn’t it look simple, yet lovely and lady-like?
FIY, the case shown on the right of the picture belongs to a different handphone model. Cool design right?
