Good mornevening, Yuming !🌅🌃👩👌 Your blue salvia💙 looks wonderful against the green background💚. Oni-chang love that soothing blue-purple shade💙💜 ! I posted as many as three pics of red salvia on GS on September 13th.📸♥️🌿🤗🤭
Here in Osaka, things are crazy right now because the Hanshin Tigers won the championship !⚾️🐯🏟️🏬🎊🍻🥃 Some people have jumped into the Dotonbori River in Namba.🌊💦💧
I went to the dentist for the first time in seven years and had my teeth cleaned. My last visit was before COVID.🦷✨ I only have one wisdom tooth missing out of the four, and the other 31 teeth are completely healthy. My dentist praised me, saying my dental care is excellent for my age !😁✨👌
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. Congratulations 🎉 for the winner 🥇! I am very far to know about baseball ⚾️ games ~ any kinds in the world. Even golf, tennis… no interested in. When I connect The Japanese Channel,I would like to watch “Sumo”, “Kayou concert 🎶”…+ NHK documentary program…more~ Not right now. I used have the first program in USA in 1999. I had a nice time in those days. (Huyu sona, changumu no chikai.. ). The more I open my hobby, The less I I could continue today’s hobby. * wait till the time is coming Let’s go for a good day together! 😊
@ラスカル Good morning! Thank you for a message. I went to see a dentist this morning. (Emergency treatment). I have no hurt at all but , in cave, I wanted to know~ why~. My dentist said “not from the tooth, but from the gum”. He asked me”did you use dental floss?” “Yes. Every day”. He said “I did/pushed too hard to the gum”. 😅 He be said “your teeth are great now. Just take it easy to do dental floss “. I learned ☝️ thing this time. I brush my teeth 4~5 times a day. With gentle dental floss! Thanks doctor I am fine. I really feel I am getting older ~ 😌 How are you? You everyday good! Good day as usual! 😊😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for your message！😄👌 I'm a Giants fan, so I'm not in the mood to celebrate the Hanshin Tigers' victory.😢 However, Hanshin Department Store and its affiliated supermarkets have been holding championship sales since yesterday, so I've been reaping the benefits.🤗😊🛍️💸 to be continued...
Hello! 😊 There are so many varieties of salvia, and I’ve loved growing them over the years—I really enjoy their diverse range of colors. It’s such a joy to have perennials that bloom again every year. 🐰💕
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ 【The following is a continuation.】 By the way, Yuming watch Japanese sumo wrestling, too, don't you?🖐️💪📺🤗 Oni-chang am a big fan of URA-zeki, because we went to the same university !🌙⛪️✌️ If you have a favorite sumo wrestler, I would love to hear who it is ！😄😊👌💦 The Korean🇰🇷 historical drama 'Jewel in the Palace（チャングムの誓い）' was so good. Have you watched the modern drama 'Crash Landing on You（愛の不時着）'?🤔 It’s incredibly interesting and even features North Korean 🇰🇵soldiers.🪂💥😄 Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
@太陽の塔 Good morning! Thank you for a message. It’s interesting. Because you are the Osaka-man and you are Giants fans. I had no stories about baseball ⚾️ games. You have such a nice habit. We will have a good day together! always smile 😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. …(Ai no hujichaku)… no way to watch here. It must be a great one. 🥲 Sumo ~ I can’t watch the game. I used to have the NHK CHANNEL. in 1990s. Right now, I do not need it. I have doing my life very well without Japanese channel. When I was a 13 years old, asked my mother “I want to listen to FEN” you remember? My mother bought a stereo set/two speakers(in those days, it was precious). The radio station, with headphones (my mother was very strict about out sounds). Every day~ in English. I became elder ~ at 16 years old~ “Jet Streams by Jyo Takuya”at 0:00 🕛 am everyday. How about you? “All night Nippon “? We are the same age! 😊😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Thank Yuming for polite messages !😄 When I was 12 years old, I got a small stereo system for my room. 🎶 The first record I ever bought was "Koi no Kisetsu" by Pinky & Killers.🌊⛱️😎👌 🎶 I can't forget him... I'm in love with him... Wearing a blue shirt, he was looking at the sea...🎶🌊 Hoitara-ne.🌞✌️
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. Yes~ I remember this 🎶 song “wasurerarenaino~” I think…I was 10 years old~🤔or~ I don’t remember. Her voice was just like a adult, but she was only high school girl at that time! TOP HIT in Japan. Such a young girl sings like a adult. At that time, yes “Blue Chateau”in 1968. With these songs~ we grew up. 👏 I now I go back to Showa-songs (1960s-). Enjoyable We love music 🎶 and flowers. Go for a good day! 😊😊
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. Sorry ~ I have no idea about “Blue shirt”? You have known till today in Japan. My memory had been cut off since 1993. Especially Japanese music. Sure all world music 🎶 ~ I have known. Sorry I can’t talk about the story. You know my background. We will have a great day together! 😊😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Oni-chang am sorry for the confusion.🙇♂️ "Blue shirt" appears in the lyrics of the song "Koi no Kisetsu: 恋の季節" by Pinky & Killers.🤗👕👌 You can find the lyrics "••• Wearing a blue shirt •••" in the GS email sent two messages back.😊 Hoitara-mata-mite-ne.🌞✌️
@ﾃﾞｭﾗﾝｻ Thank you for a message. I know~ it’s still hot here. How about your place? No more ☔️ ~ ! We need rain. We will see~ I am afraid of the earth Global warming phenomenon. Our life~ always ‘Positive’! Go for today and tomorrow! 😊😊
@太陽の塔 😁Ok! I have got it. 🎶wasurerarenaino~~aoi shirts kite sa Yes. I have got it. I told you before? This song came out when we were 10 years old. I remember, In those days, my mother bought a open reel tape machine with microphone 🎤. I was keen on recording the music 🎶. Put a microphone beside the TV. And record the song. We could hear any time we wanted. This song was one of them. …I remember…how many years ago? In those days. We will have a great day! 😊
Good evening🌃✨ It’s chilly in the mornings and evenings, but it was actually quite hot during the day. We have a three-day weekend coming up starting tomorrow, and the weather looks like it will be nice. The forecast says it’s going to rain on Wednesday, though.😊
@Yumiko (California U.S.A) SAMA✨ Oni-chang am glad Yuming understand.🤗👌 It is amusing that Oni-chang, a Japanese person, use English, and Yuming, an American, use Japanese.🇺🇸🇯🇵👌 You sing, "wasurerarenaino aoi shirts kite sa" I sing, "I can't forget him Wearing a blue shirt "😆🤭 Shall we keep talking in this format from now on ?🇺🇸🇯🇵 Hoitara-yoroshiku-ne.🌞✌️
@太陽の塔 Thank you for a message. With our IQ, we can enjoy ~ We do not have to talk ~ so much. Just entrance of the story~ we will be able to know~ what 😁. That’s we. We will have a nice communication on GS. (Chotto Official)! 😁 Let’s go for a good day! 💕
A gardener is here today, pruning the trees and fruit trees in the garden and vegetable patch. I'm glad the weather is nice. ☀️ I wonder what I should make for lunch. 🐰💕
