Hello Sarutanuki here!
I watched the program “Gaia no Yoake” broadcasted on Tuesday, February 16, 2021.
The theme of the program was “Living with Abnormal Weather: Responding to a Changing Climate,” and it featured companies that are working to deal with the recent abnormal weather.
Among the companies, there was a story about a Gifu sake brewery called “Sanzen Sakura Shuzo” that was moving to Hokkaido.
I couldn’t help but be moved to tears by the story of this painful decision.
Due to global warming in recent years, the temperature in Gifu has been rising, making it difficult to control the temperature, which is the “life” of sake brewing. So, it was a big project to move to cold Hokkaido to continue the business.
The decision to protect the quality of sake from the sake brewery, which was established in 1877 and has been handed down from generation to generation, was a powerful one. Rather than “where to do it,” they pursued “what to do.
I thought this choice was not easy to make.
It brought tears to my eyes to think of the mother who made the choice not to go to Hokkaido.
There was a video of her mother cutting the grass of a nearby river.
She commented, “I have been grateful for the water.
I couldn’t help but think of the pride and passion that has kept the brewery alive in this land.
Just before the move, a festival was held in the area to encourage the newcomers.
This also made me feel good. I could really feel how much the community had loved me.
After moving to Hokkaido, I was also moved to see the wooden sign posted at the entrance of the new sake brewery that I had seen in Gifu. I felt the desire to never forget the origin.
The content was very informative about business succession.
I am not inheriting any business from my parents, but I was moved to tears throughout.
Okay! I’ll go to Hokkaido to buy some, or order some, but in any case, I’ll drink it, “Sanzen Sakura.
Today, I’d like to talk about the abdominal roller (ab roller).
I use an abdominal roller.
I don’t have any desire to split my abdominal muscles or to train them to a crisp.
I would be happy if it resulted in that, though.
The reason I am using it is to prevent back pain.
When I was a student, I had a part-time job at a transportation company.
I had to do a lot of heavy lifting, and I overworked myself so much that I ended up with a sore back.
Since then, I have been suffering from back pain for about 20 years.
Moreover, in my current job, I drive a car most of the time during the daytime on weekdays. (I’m not a truck or cab driver.)
Driving a car for a long time is hard on my lower back.
(I am not a truck or taxi driver.) Driving a car for a long time is hard on your back, so I sometimes drive while protecting my back.
I’m turning 40 this year. I thought that if I didn’t take any measures to prevent this from happening, the older I got, the worse the burden on my lower back would become, so I came up with a countermeasure.
So I thought of a countermeasure: “Train the muscles around your waist. I came to the conclusion that I should train the muscles around my waist, and that the muscles would not betray me, and after thinking about various ways to train them, I decided that the one that best suited my personality was the abdominal roller.
And I made it a prerequisite that I never push myself too hard. I told myself that I am not trying to get a six-pack, but to prevent back pain. If I overdid it and hurt my back, it would be counterproductive.
So, I limit myself to 20 repetitions per set.
Currently, I can use the exercise without putting my knees on, but when I first started, I couldn’t even do that.
At first, I was only doing upper body exercises with my knees on the floor in the so-called “knee roll.
As you can see, this knee exercise alone is tough. I was licking my lips. My motto was to take it easy and do only 20 repetitions per set, but my muscles started to ache right away.
However, I got used to the muscle pain, and when I didn’t have muscle pain anymore, I was able to do it without putting my knees on the floor.
I started out with a short distance of back and forth movement on the roller, and gradually increased the distance. If I injured my back, it would have been a disaster.
It worked, and my back pain has eased up a lot.
And although the abdominal roller has “abdominal muscles” in its name, it seems that the load is applied not only to the abdominal muscles, but to the entire body.
For example, “back muscles”. When you extend your arms and move the roller back and forth, your back muscles are stretched. So, I feel like my posture is getting better. I think this is a good synergistic effect because I usually spend a lot of time bent over, such as driving or working on the computer.
I’d like to move forward in my 40s with health in mind!
The vaccination against the new coronavirus has started in Japan.
For the past year, I have been rethinking my health in order to avoid getting infected.
I’ve been thinking about my health, not only about how to avoid drinking outdoors and drink at home, but also about how drinking alcohol itself affects my health and how to improve my immunity.
I did my own research by searching the Internet and reading books.
I came to the conclusion that a basic, simple life is the best.
Sleep well and exercise moderately. I also need to eat and live a lifestyle that is conscious of my immune system.
After all, what is obvious is the best.
And as I researched this, I realized that men can also link this to improving and maintaining their energy.
I’ll refrain from introducing specific foods, but if you look up foods that help improve your immune system and foods that increase your energy on the Internet, you’ll find a lot of references to the same foods.
(If I were to mention just one, it would be zinc, which I am very conscious of.
And exercise. Maintaining muscle strength in the legs and waist area seems to be an important factor in health as well as for penile erection.
And sleep well.
After all, health is essential for enjoying sex, you realize.
As I get older, I hear from my peers that they suffer from ED, erectile dysfunction, or even breakage during the act.
I recommend that you try to adopt a health-conscious diet and lifestyle first.
If you or your partner is suffering from this problem, why don’t you review it?
I am embarrassed to say that so far I have no problems with my health, nor with my energy (erection). When I wake up in the morning, my crotch is fine (excuse me!).
Personally, I like to have sex after waking up in the morning and fall asleep twice, cuddling up against my partner’s skin.
I hope you will stay young and healthy and enjoy your sex life.
I would like to write about what I think about sex and what I consider important.
Before I start, I’d like to clarify my position before I proceed.
I am a man, and my love interest is a woman.
I wrote about this earlier because this is not the norm.
There are many forms of couples and partnerships, including those between people of the same sex, and I wanted to write with this in mind. For this reason, I thought it would be better to clarify whether my sexual object is a woman or a man.
So, let me get to the point.
First of all, I have a female partner.
I love her so much. I love her. I can’t help but love her.
I want to touch her all the time.
I want to keep touching her hair, her cute breasts and buttocks.
I am now old enough, but I still fantasize about having sex with her during the day.
I fantasize about how I want to have sex with her next.
Since I love her so much, my first priority is to have sex with her in a way that shows that I love her.
I try not to be self-satisfied or self-indulgent, and I respect my partner’s reaction while having sex.
Therefore, I value the communication of the time rather than the joining of our bodies.
I hug them from behind. Gently caress. I touch her gently. Gazing into her beautiful eyes. I tell them I love them. Tell her she’s cute. Tell her how much you love her. Ask if it hurts. Before moving, I tell her I’m moving. Tell them they are warm. I like to feel the warmth of my partner’s body during sex. Tell them that you feel good. I whisper something in their ear that makes them feel embarrassed.
And I am filled with love.
I love them more.
I love her even more.
And you want to have sex with her again.
Sex with her is the most blissful time of my life.
Sex with her is the best.
I hope that everyone reading this will be able to share happy partnership time with their beloved partner.
NHK’s Taiga Drama “Kirin ga Kuru” has reached its final episode, and a new one “Ao Ten wo Tsuku” has started.
As a lover of Japanese history and historical dramas, I look forward to this drama once a week.
The main character in this episode is Eiichi Shibusawa, the father of the Japanese economy.
I know it is partly because he was chosen as the portrait for the next 10,000 yen bill, but I personally like this choice and am looking forward to the upcoming broadcast.
There are many reasons as to why I am looking forward to it.
It is interesting that the show will focus on an entrepreneur instead of a samurai’s life story.
And he lived a very long life. He was born at the end of the Edo period (the end of the Tokugawa shogunate), lived through the Meiji and Taisho periods, and died in 1931 at the age of 91.
It is also interesting that he lived through these four turbulent periods.
He started about 500 businesses that are inseparable for people today, and of course, I think his power of action is the primary reason for this, but I also think that his longevity is an important point.
If he had lived a short life like Ryoma Sakamoto, Taito Komatsu, or Shinsaku Takasugi, it would have been difficult for him to achieve so many things.
As for my impressions after watching the first episode, I would like to refrain from writing about the content of the drama because it would spoil it.
If I had to pick one thing, it would be the “environment.
The environment at the end of the Edo period.
The environment at the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate, a rather wealthy family environment for the time.
Not only the environment, but also the will and the power of action to open up for oneself.
I was reminded of the tremendous influence that environment has on one’s life.
A father who was passionate about education and a mother who taught moral values. A father who is passionate about education, a mother who teaches morality, and a family that makes a living from business.
It was a development that pointed to the foundation and origin of Eiichi’s life.
This is exactly the starting point of his book “The Analects and the Arithmetic”.
From this point on, he must have met various people such as Yoshiki Tokugawa and built up his life.
One of the things I enjoy about Taiga dramas is the emphasis they place on one person’s life.
To be frank, you don’t need to watch a drama to know the historical facts, you can just look them up.
Even in school, you can learn who rebelled and who died in the Honnoji Incident.
Many history buffs may feel that this is the best part of the drama, but not me.
Why did they make the choices they did?
This is where I find the real thrill.
Why did the people of the time do what they did in response to historical facts?
This is what I enjoy about dramas.
History is a series of choices.
I think that’s where the scriptwriters, producers, and creators show their skills.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how the story will unfold until the final episode.
I’d like to introduce you to my favorite discount store these days.
It’s DiREX.
DiREX” (company logo here)
The company is based in the Kyushu area.
Here is a video (YouTube) of the company profile.
So why is it my favorite?
There are two main reasons.
First, it’s in my neighborhood (laughs).
It’s nice to be in the neighborhood because I can go there easily.
It’s open from 9:00 in the morning until 10:00 at night.
It’s very convenient.
Secondly, it supports various QR code payment methods for smartphones.
Pay Pay, LINE Pay, d-payment, au Pay, Rakuten Pay, and so on.
This is very helpful for me.
Especially for me, as I have recently become a poi maniac, I find it very profitable.
This is because the companies that provide QR code payment services are offering various campaigns.
I don’t just use one particular QR code payment service, but use them all.
And I make use of each point.
And my rule is “don’t leave points in the bank, use them immediately.
Therefore, I give priority to QR codes with accumulated points.
If the points can be used for investment, such as d-points, I give priority to that.
Recently, au Pay has been running a campaign to give back 20% of PONTA points.
And Direx has been selected as a store for that campaign.
There is no reason not to use them for PONTA enthusiasts.
Nevertheless, I try not to shop unnecessarily.
Basically, I avoid eating out, so I mainly shop for daily groceries.
Since I get 40 points for every 200 yen (including tax) (a 20% return rate), I keep in mind the “multiple of 200 yen” when shopping.
I use the calculator function on my phone all the time. I use the calculator function on my phone a lot to figure out how much it costs to buy this and that.
I’m a small citizen.
But thanks to this, I think I’ve become much more conscious of the money I spend on each shopping trip.
When I first started using cashless, I had a sense of danger in my mind that I would end up spending more money because I didn’t have cash, but in my case, it turned out to be the opposite.
I became more cautious about each purchase, thinking that it would be more profitable to use up my points, or that it would be more profitable to use the QR code of Koch because it is currently being promoted.
If I’m going to buy the same thing, I want to save at least one yen. I’m already a housewife.
I also found an app called CODE, which is not a QR code payment app, but it allows you to manage your receipts and earn points, and I register my receipts here after shopping.
Thanks to this app, I have become more aware of the fact that it is better to buy food than to eat out.
Since I don’t eat out as much anymore, I can save more money on food than before.
…Let me tell you, when I’m having a meal with someone or with a third party, I don’t have this sense of littering. I believe that the priority should be people, not points.
I know it’s sudden, but have you ever heard of a cosmetic company called “Ahavi Cosmetics”?
It’s a cosmetics company that I used to work with in the past, and I’d like to introduce them to you.
Since I’m going to introduce a product, you might think I’m talking about a project or an affiliate, but I’m not (lol).
The product looks like this.
The website is here. (Before I knew it, the website was renewed and cleaned up)
The product lineup is mainly basic skin care products. The main products are basic skin care products.
The main products are basic skin care products, such as facial cleanser, toner, and serum.
They also have primer and hair care products.
Skin care is a field that makes me think a lot about health.
On the inside of the body, in other words, there are organs that play important roles such as the brain, heart, and intestines that are important for survival.
Imagine this. Imagine that your heart is protruding from the surface of your body. Imagine it popping out on your shoulder (lol). It’s hard to get hit. If you get sunburned, you’re in trouble. It is the skin that protects the body from external hazards on the outermost front line. In Shogi, it is the “step”. (Why did I use Shogi?).
If the skin on the front line were to be wiped out, the entire body would be in serious trouble.
Therefore, the skin must be in a healthy state.
The human body is a mass of cells, and skin is also a mass of cells.
In order for the cells to be healthy, the blood must deliver nutrients, water, and oxygen to the cells in a normal and uninterrupted manner.
Since skin cells are the outermost part of the body, blood must flow normally to every detail of the body.
Then, clean blood needs to flow throughout the body.
Blood circulation also needs to be improved.
To do this, we must also pay attention to our body temperature.
It’s all about governance. Let’s say the body is a country. Each cell is a people. Thinking about health means taking a leadership role in improving the lives of the people who form the body.
That’s why the skin, which is formed by the outermost cells of the people, is the part of the body where the state of health is most likely to show up.
You look pale.
The skin is a mirror of one’s health.
Therefore, the first step in skin care is physical health.
Therefore, the idea and philosophy of AHVY cosmetics is not to have products play a leading role in skin care, but to help skin that is out of balance to regain its original balance.
→Please refer to this page “What is Ahavi Cosmetics” on our website.
When it comes to skincare, Ahavi Cosmetics does not play a leading role, but faces the problems of people and their skin with a spirit of being close to them.
The skin is the surface of the body, and the face is the most important part of a person’s personality, so it is not good for the psyche to be troubled.
If you or someone around you, such as a family or friend or acquaintance, is feeling depressed, why don’t you consult with Ahavi Cosmetics? It could be the manufacturer of the product or the person in charge of the store that carries it.
