Happy Thanksgiving!

Aloha Everyone,

This turned out to be a very memorable Thanksgiving Day. Japan Home Centre has almost anything you need especially small items such as a simple tweezer. One of their salespeople knew exactly what we were talking about. 

We returned to our condo then a little after 9:00 am. Going to Landers next door, J.J. and I purchased yogurt and coffee, but weren’t able to find any fresh fruits except for tiny apples.

Today, we scheduled a movie date. When the mall opened at 10:00 am, the two of us went to purchase our tickets.  The process is rather confusing. You choose your desired time then choose the seats. Not knowing the configuration of the theater, our chosen seats were located towards the top.



Went to have our early lunch then walked around a little until we were admitted to the theater 15 minutes before the show.




First few minutes were local government propaganda followed by Filipino National Anthem. Several other films were previewed.

My daughter-in-law asked me to rate the film. J.J. and I didn’t wait. Before the intermission, we walked out. I think if you are 13 or younger, the movie might be worth watching. They gave us each a promotional ice tea on entry. Little children were sipping syrupy drinks and eating purchased banana chips.


We had an early dinner at Prologue, an Italian restaurant located in Mitsukoshi Mall. Great food, reliable service. For dessert, we enjoyed Green Tea Tiramisu. No turkey, ham or apple pie, but it was still a very memorable Thanksgiving. 


Oh, and one more thing, I decided to quit the video game that I’ve been playing for nearly 10 years. Just go cold turkey.  Instead, I will focus on my drawings and languages plus Kundalini yoga meditation and exercises.

Aloha -- Cathi
