Good morning. ☺️✨ The alstroemeria 💖 is blooming so beautifully and with such lovely colors. The morning dew 💧 adds a lovely, moist touch to the petals. I also have a pale pink one in a pot in my garden, but I think it'll be a while before it blooms. 🤔 Thank you for letting me see it. 🐰💗

@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. I am fine at 1:18pm 1/9 2026. I swam for 75 minutes. I walked for 30 minutes(3 miles). Now I am relaxing ~ and Talking to you. Take care of yourself. I will watch you. 👍
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) I'm still able to maintain my daily 30-minute walk🚶🏻 and 75-minute swim, which is great! I often start something and then give up halfway through. When I had my dog, I was able to keep up with my walks🚶🏻. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your glad message ! "Definitely we have been having a great friendship on GS." 😆😄🤗 That's exactly right. 🌞✌️
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. My swimming for 75 minutes is ~as usual for a couple of years every day. I started to walk for approximately 30 minutes(3 miles =4,800 meters). Everyday. Today…it was #52 since I started walking. Challenging ~ this is my new year Resolution in 2026. How is your new year resolution? Being healthy! with smile 😊
It's quite difficult to continue every day without fail. I guess I'm being strict with myself. My resolution for this year is, "Whenever I'm inspired by something, I want to go for it." I don't know what that will be yet, though. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your today's feeling !😄🤗🌞👌 In Japan🇯🇵, it was sunny today☀️, but the wind was strong like a typhoon, so I couldn't make it to the picニック.📸🙅♀️🌬️🌪️🌀 Yuming's "Good right !" is a play on the word "Good night !".🤭🤗🤣 That's very interesting ! 😂😘🌞✌️ Hoitara-ne. 😴💤🌃👋
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ I understand you. You are particularly Tipe-A . We call in 🇺🇸 Type A or Type B/ We can say Type C: something wrong people. your type A /Be enthusiastic about everything. Go for~ it. Me too.
People often say I'm type A, but unfortunately I'm type B. 😁 I tend to go after things that interest me and I get very particular about them 🦆. Yumiko, you're type A. My husband is like that. I think there are probably a lot of things that get on my nerves 🤭
@太陽の塔 Good morning! I hope you slept well.✊ to go for today. What are you going/ where are you going today? Interesting You are so active. respect My daily schedule is all set. 6:30am ~ 7:45am swimming 8:15am ~ 8:45am walking(3 miles for 30 minutes). Walk for seeing flowers till I can see a cute flower/day. It will be almost 10:45am ~ to come home. Right now~ my rose garden has been resting…+ it’s rainy season and I do have to worry about my garden. Just trimming them. We will have a nice day together! 😊
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ 😁now…blood type… My blood type is “O”. Typically They say “A” to me. But O And what is your blood type? In America, they do not care about blood type survey at all. If I talk about this story, they say~ ‘what are you talking? I do not know~”. It’s the culture. interesting Every day is coming. 😊
Yumiko is type O. 😉💕 I'm often told I'm type A, but actually I'm type B. I would have preferred type A. 🤭 It seems that most Japanese people are type A. Type B tends to be seen as odd, so I don't really like that blood type. 🦆
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yumi and Miyu for your messages ! 👩👧😄👌 Today Oniisan went to Nara Prefecture, where my parents lived. 🦌⛰️🚙💨 I ordered a morning set at a cafe in Nara, and the bread was all-we-can-eat buffet style !🥪🥐🥯🥖☕️😋 Today, Japanese🇯🇵 Prime Minister Takaichi, a native of Nara Prefecture, and South Korean🇰🇷 President Lee Jae-myung held a Japan-South Korea summit meeting in Nara City.🏙️🏢 I hear that they are going to Horyu-Ji-Temple tomorrow, which is the oldest wooden structure in the world.🏯🌲 Hoitara-ne. 🤫🌞✌️
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. I know lots of people in Japan. Yes. Your blood type is “B”. I understand. (O>B tsukusu) (A>O tsukusu). I have known this so far. 😁 See ~ I will talk to you all the time. 💕good day !
People often imagine someone's personality based on their blood type, but that may make it easier to understand and interact with them. Even if you can get along with everyone, you may only be able to talk to certain people in a sincere way, and you may end up keeping things to yourself. 🐰💗
@太陽の塔 Good morning! ☀️ You went to Nara and saw deers🦌. Prime Minister Takaichi talked about the deers…”they come to us and tap on our 👣 feet,/give me a food. But they are polite and nice deers in Nara”. How was your experience with deers? I dare not to talk about Prime Minister Takaichi right now. * She has been trying her best. Let’s go for a nice day! 😊
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ According to the blood type information ~. (ataru mo hakke ataranu mo hakke) We Japanese like horoscope, blood type ~ story. In USA, most of elder people, they do not know what their blood type until they have in a certain situation(hospitalized). I was surprised that! It’s still cold. Take care of yourself. Have a nice meal, relax and have a good sleep 😴! happiness
In Japan, we know our blood type at birth, but recently, it seems like it's becoming more common for people to only find out their own blood type when they get sick. 🤔 I've heard that sometimes blood doesn't match when you're young, and sometimes you have to have your entire blood replaced. I've heard that as a child, I was often in poor health and had to be taken to the hospital. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your talking about the deers.🦌😄👌 My experience with deer is as follows: My high school was in Nara City, and I often went to Nara Park on my way home.⛰️⛩️🚃🌞✌️ Deer give birth in early spring and become aggressive. 🦌😧 A deer charged at me headfirst and hit me. It was really scary. 😱 It was a female deer so it had no antlers, but a male one could have gored me with it's horns, which would have been a terrible situation.🦌🫎😱😢 Hoitara-ne. 👋👋👋🌃
That's right. Statistics say that blood type doesn't really determine anything, but when you're talking to someone for the first time, once you've gotten used to the person, knowing their blood type can help you think about how to respond to them in advance. 🐰💗
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your deer's message !🦌😄👌 Tomorrow, Saturday, January 17th, I will be driving to Nara early in the morning again.🚙💨⛰️ So I'm going to tatami-bed eary tonight. 😴💤✨🎠✨ Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ That’s I am telling you~ it’s a Japanese habit. It’s a sort of minus ➖ image , if we talk about the blood 🩸 story. I have never talked about in front of them. even with my friends in 🇺🇸. In 🇯🇵, I do talk about this. As usual. Every country has differencesz 😊
@太陽の塔 Good morning! ☀️ How are you? I am fine as usual 😁 I did my chores(swimming & walk at the lap). And go walk outside to see the flowers. ! I saw 👀 a cute lady. I will post it on Monday. You still have been sleeping on the Tatami. Your knees are strong enough. I tried to sleep on the floor/nice carpet to sleep, but unfortunately I gave up 🆙. Because my knees were becoming weak. My bed is high. Every one his own habits. 😊 Let’s go for a nice day together!
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ No worries about that. Today, 2026, we do not trust it. Ok~ I will talk about one episode. In those days(~1980~1990). She was the best fortune teller in Japan. We had been keen reading her books ~. Finally ~ she said “It’s stupid to believe in fortune-telling”. /(uranai o shinjiru nante koto wa baka yo”. I was shocked about her message. ⤵️ We do not trust about this!
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Me too, I'm fine thank Yuming ! 😄💪💦 Yes, I still sleep in a futon on tatami mats, every night.😴💤🌃 I really like tatami feeling ! 😆🤗👌 In Japan🇯🇵, people always take off their shoes when entering a house.👞👡🙅♀️😁 Feeling the soft but firm texture of tatami evokes the sensation of walking barefoot on the grass.💚🌿🦵😌✌️ Tatami play a vital role in complementing the natural feel of traditional Japanese houses.🏡 By the way, your legs are as thin as an antelope's (kamoshika's)🫎, putting strain on your knees.🦵😖😢 I think the bed style is suitable for your legs.🛏️👌 Hon-janual-ne. 🌞✌️✈️
Yes, I believe in good fortune telling, and I pretend not to see the unfortunate things that aren't. It's the same with horoscopes on TV or in magazines. Yesterday, I went to my local shrine ⛩️. I had my goshuin stamp book written and drew a fortune. 🐰💗
