Moka's Daily Life

   Hi, I’m Moka! Thank you for checking this blog!  Recently, cloudy days and rainy days are becoming more and more frequent. Is this a sign that winter is approaching? I am a little sad because I don't really like rainy days. I would rather have snow than rain. Does anyone else have the same idea?  While the weather has been bad most of the time, there were some sunny days this week. In this blog I will write about the events of those sunny days!  On Tuesday, I went to the beauty salon! I had my hair color changed and had a treatment done! I was happy to go there because I had been busy and hadn't been there for a while. Each time I consult with my hair stylist to determine the color of my hair. Last time I had it light brown, so this time I decided to go a little darker. It is a lovely color that shows a gentle beige color when exposed to light. I like it very much! New heir color  On Wednesday, the weather was so nice that there was not a single cloud in the sky. And the tem

   Hi, thank you for coming to my blog!   The sun is setting earlier and earlier. The temperature is also getting cooler and cooler, and I feel the arrival of winter.  My favorite thing to do these days is to look at the sky. In winter, when the air is clear, the stars look beautiful!   On Wednesday, I looked up at the sky and saw Orion shining. Orion is a well-known winter constellation. It was especially large and clearly visible on this day. I am not a good photographer, but I did my best. The Orion    Orion was the first constellation I learned. It is easy to find because of its distinctive shape. When I see it, I know that winter is approaching! So I like this time! I encourage everyone to take a look at the night sky! You will be energized by the shining stars.  Also, I like stories about the constellations! Most are myths, and exciting ones at that. Some of the stories are sad, but all are beautiful. I don't know all the stories about all the constellations and would love to

   Hi, thank you for coming to my blog!  In this time, I share some of the fun l had in October.  Firstly, I went to the trip with my friends. We used only trains on that trip! We also went with almost no plan.  We went to Yahiko in Niigata prefecture and we visited the famous shrine! Yahiko shrine  There is a big Torii! It was so beautiful and cool! We paid our respects there. Then we had lunch nearby. It was a very enjoyable trip!  A well-planned trip is good, but I thought a no-plan trip was also attractive. Boooo Frappuccino  Second, I drank monthly beverage of STARBUCKS. This shops sell a new beverage each months. In October, they released "Boooo" which  is the drink of pumpkin(left one in that picture). It looks like black ink, so I have not be able to imagine that taste before I drank it. However, it was delicious and I felt the season! It is excited for me that each months have new drinks.  I hope to do lots of fun things this month too!  Thank you for reading my blog

 Hi, I’m Moka!   This time, I’m going to tell you how I spend my free time.  I like to watch movies or TV dramas. So, I often watch them in my room with my sister. These days, I watch them on my smartphone, not on TV. I do so because the screen is small but easily viewable. And I always make drinks when I watch them. Recently it has been getting colder, so I make hot drinks such as cocoa and cafe latte. Of these, I have recently become addicted to matcha lattes. It is not only sweet but also a little bitter and tasty. It has a soothing taste. matcha lattes  　This week, we had many sunny days so I was very happy! I like the blue skies in this season, because we are able to see the colorful scenery created by blue sky and autumn leaves. When I see it, I feel happy and relaxed.  My favorite scenery    In this way, I value times to relax. If you have some free time, try spending it this way! Thank you for reading my blog!
