~QOL~ Kyoko style

Time passed really fast.

How was my life recently?

Having great time playing volleyball 2- 4 days in a week.
This is the thing which I can enjoy only here.
It won't be happen in Japan to play competitive v-ball league a couple of days during the week.
Cuz...... just simple reason. Nobody will show up for weekday league at 6pm. working working working.....

I should add this event for happy time which I had recently.
CA reunion party at R's Furry Creek wonderful place.

-view from balcony-


-show time-

sexy? pole dance?

- fire and smore time-

can't stop eating those even I know it is high calories....

Thanks guys for coming out. It was such a wonderful time to spend time with u guys again:) Looking forward to seeing u guys again!

Back to the real life.
Even though I come back home after I have loong tiring day,
this makes my body and heart heal a lot....

-Sauna at home-

It is my secret (well.. maybe not secret cuz I am writing here... lol) of my body charging.
In Japan, I take a bath about 30- 45 min every day. Instead of that, sauna works perfectly for my body charge.

Well... like this, time passed quickly till now.
And, tmrw....... I will head to New York for Pilates reformer course!
I almost finished packing today.
Whatelese should I do? Maybe relax well and just head to airport tmrw night!
I will get to New York on Sun early morning.

To make my new career as a Pilates instructor, it is essential to take this course.
I am really excited to get into reformer world which trigger lots of pilates learners and instructor.
Needless to say, really excited to meeting other instructors there and having life in N.Y.

Okies. better to sleep without thinking too much. ZZZZZ

My sister and I went to Comox valley in the middle of Vancouver island on the last Thu.

Comox Valley is my hometown in Canada where I spent the 1st 1 month when I came to Canada.

For this time, my sister will stay at my host mother's place and go to English school.

We enjoyed my host mother's great cooking.
Looking around beatiful town.
Visiting school and so on...

This is Comox Marine.


Sister & Me


For mother's day, we cooked dinner with the other host sitster for our Canadian mom.
Our menu is.....

It is called "Chirashi" zushi.
"Chirashi" means like scattering.
It is special sushi for celebration. Or good for party.
Also as a custom, we will have this sushi on May 3rd(girl's day)

Host sister, who is from China, made Thai beef noodle salad.
Also, we got carnation and card.

Mom's day dinner is set♪

I am really glad that mom really liked our dinner ^^

From yesterday, my sister's school has started.
Then, I came back to Vancouver.

Always when I go there, I reset my mind and back to the first objectives.
More than anything, I appreciate my Canadian mom and ppl in Comox.

Last day for Vancouver stay with her tmrw.
mmm. what we do??

Finally back to home from trip.
Today's morning, I got up at 5 am in Boracay.
And I came back to Kobe home around 11pm.
It was........ long......

The way to come back was harder than on the way to Boracay.

Hotel - Trycycle - Boat - Trycycle - Airport.
Trouble day started with our domestic flight cancel.

After got to Manilla, there was fight at the check in counter, and security gate.
In the end, we were not allowed to go through security. Took taxi to send extra hand luggage by cargo.
Finally flew to Japan.

After arrived at Kansai Airport, nobody knows exactly where our extra luggage went...
Started to find them.
Transfered to cargo terminal by the transport bus, walked around the area which is really unfamiliar.
In the end, got bags!!

Back to airport again, packed up again and went on the way to back home.

If I write like this, it sounds like just a story. But it was the hardest travel ever.
Now, if I reflect such a problem, it is good trip memory.

Transfer was really hard, but everything including fun time and hard time will be unforgettable memories of trip.

Everyday, going up the hill and stairs in front of room with out of breath.
Sitting on air chair(possible "air chair" is Japanese word) at the washroom cuz there is no cover of toilet.
Scared lizard everywhere outside.

Including everything like these, they are good memories.

Of course, had such an awesome ocean life with kite surfing in the warm water, and snorkeling.
Eating yummy food and drinking tasty cocktails,
Supported by warm heart local ppl,

Such a happy island life.

That's why I love traveling.

From now, refresh mind and go to new life!
I will work for new job and also prep for new career.
Do my best for coming life!

Quality of LIfe! cherish day by day!

It is the review of Boracay trip.

Again,, no wind...
By the forecast, tmrw will be windy hopefully.

Then, walking around the island.
Walked so long today.

First, went to “Mt. Luho view point”
Climbed up the hill (mountain),, climbed up and up.

I guess around here. and found the sign!!

Again, the stairs were waiting there.
up and up ....

In front of me,,,,,




Awesome!!
Look at this blue color.
I forgot tiredness of coming up here.

Down the hill and back to the room.
It seems like no wind.
Then, went out to the beach to explore ocean.

Brought ballon boat and snorkeling.

Swim, swim, swim. and look into the water.

There were,,,

Sea urchin!!

Star fish!!

Fish.....(not much)

It means here is dangerous spot for kitesurfing with bare foot.
Maybe I shouldn't down the feet to the land when I kite. (keep float)

It was good research for kite beforehand...

For Dinner, had Indian food made by Sri Lanka chef.
I ordered “Sri Lanka chicken curry”
so yummy!



My stomach is getting warm. It was so yummy with good amonts of spice and mildness.
Also, I had Mango Lassy (Yogurt and Mango mix juice)
Such a good combination!
On the way back to room,,,, again,,,,
lights out.
About 1 hr, light was on and off.
It often happen in this island. That's what I know from island's ppl.
They put candle and ppl get together.
It will be good to wait having beer in front of the ocean.
This is island life, too.
