Snowball Fight

I may have posted sometime that I have not seen snow more than 10 years.

I often did snowball fight in winter in Osaka when I was little.

(/￣◇￣)/≡・。゜・。・o゜≡ヾ(￣□￣ヽ)

That was so fun.
We were so excited.

But don't be too excited. (click here)

We may not need to worry that as long as living in LA.

Happy Meal

Responsibility.

Take responsibility for your job.
Take responsibility for your behavior.
Take responsibility for your KIDS. (click here)

I feel that McDonald's has been abusing by irresponsibility people.
Because McDonald's is big company and has big money.

I like this review, "Local Casino's are giving out toy foam footballs to people who watch Monday night football at their sports books. Does that mean that are marketing gambling to children?"

Hahahahaヾ(▽⌒*)hahaha o(＿＿)ﾉ彡_☆bangbangbang!!


Bastard parents cannot spend enough money for their kids.
☟
They don't want to cook for their kids.
☟
They go to McDonald's, because inexpensive.
☟
Kids want "Happy Meal (because toy)," but they cannot control their kids' request with yelling because never have thought about discipline.
☟
They don't want (cannot) to pay high medical bill for their kids, if their kids got sick.
☟
Yeah!! Sue McDonald's!! They are rich!


Idiot irresponsible people.


They call that "Sue Happy Meal"?

Merry Christmas!!

Holiday season

Long rainy days are gone and sun came out. (Jesus produced own birthday?)


I got lots of Christmas gifts.

Thank you everyone.


I think it is the custom that people arrange received gifts around Christmas tree, right?

But I didn't display Christmas tree this year.

So I arranged those gifts around Cat tree.

Christmas Cat Tree.






These are only some parts of thousands of gift.

No,
not thousands ((^┰^))ゞ



I wish you a Merry Christmas (≡^∇^≡)

Driving In The Rain

I had a house call on Saturday. (Thank you the Ts).

Their house is up hill of Malibu.

It's rainy day, but PCH was not bad traffic. Thanks God!

And up slope.

No traffic either, but the view was so bad.

Lower bound couldn't be seen.

Oops!

The rain is still continuing.

Drive safe everyone! Don't take pictures while you are driving ψ(｀∇´)ψ

SANYO digital camera

I bought new camera.

SANYO 12.1 Mega, 3x optical zoo, new EIS (I don't know what it is), Smile Detection, ISO 6400.

Yeah, it's SANYO.
It means 3 oceans (Pacific, Atlantic, Indian).

Very popular Japanese electronics company.

They have the instruction by 12 languages such as English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Arabian, Russian, Chinese, and so on...

Yes, SANYO. Very popular Japanese company.

Wait!

Where is the Japanese?(ﾟ_｡)?(｡_ﾟ)?

Oh?

I remembered one of my friend has told me a story.

"The gas company" has explanations on their bill by Chinese, Korean, of course Spanish, and some more language, but Japanese.

The friend asked "The gas company," why they don't have Japanese explanation.

They said, "Japanese people are highly educated and Japanese people read English well. So they don't need Japanese explanation".

Hahahahaha! It's just a rumor 。・ﾟﾟ･(≧д≦)･ﾟﾟ･｡

Dr. Sobakawa Pillow

People were talking about that Blake Edwards passed away.

I googled and I got that who he is.

But it is not big deal for me.


Have you heard "Sobakawa Pillow"?

An acupuncturist Dr. Kazu Watanabe invented it. (click here to see link)

Actually, most people have been using it since 8th century in Japan, but he introduced it at first time in U.S. about 14 years ago.


I received the notice of his death today.

He left us December 11th 2010.

I don't know the reason, yet.

He was very nice man. He answered my questions willingly all the time.


May his soul rest in peace.

Dr. Kazu Watanabe

Video Girl

There was a Manga (comic), titled, "Video Girl" in Japan about 20 years ago.

The story was: a pretty girl slips out from video and comes to real world.

Today, the barbie doll became the video girl.
However this video girl is very different to Japanese one.

The barbie has a camera in her body and she records video. (click here to see link)

"FBI warning," sounds funny, but not funny actually.

I wish people use "Video Girl Barbie" correctly, and parents take care well their kids.

By the way, if you are interested Japanese "Video Girl," to see wiki, click here.

Everlasting Smiles Foundation

I attended a charity event.


 Everlasting Smiles Foundation.

This event was a fundraiser for children who have brain tumor.







There was a collection box and a lot of food.
But those were mostly candies.

Yes, because the party was for kids.





Some girls got hair cut.

And adults too.
The adults hair cut fees went to the fund.

The kids took some pictures with the owner of the salon, Cristophe who works for Hillary & Bill Clinton, Dustin Hoffman, and more celebrities.

I get hair cut at this salon, too.
but not by him.

There were some "Silent Auctions".

All of children had cute smiles.

I wish all children are going to win to their diseases.

Re: Euglena

Number of page views of my blog increased suddenly recently.

I can see the stats of my blog.

That tells me "how many page views, where the viewer live, and how viewers reached my blog".

I checked the stats, and it indicates most number of viewer forwarded from the word search "Euglena".

There was 44 page views from Euglena in a day at the other day.

Most people accessed from inside of U.S.
And next areas were Indonesia, Philippine, and Thailand.

Why?
How this much people interested Euglena?(ﾟ_｡)?(｡_ﾟ)?

Snow @ Rodeo Drive

I have not seen the snow since I moved to LA.

I have seen snow every year when I was in Japan.

Because I was traveling around in Japan about half of a year by work?

No there was snow even in Osaka at least once or twice a winter.

But I have not seen the snow since I moved to LA in 1996.


However I may see the snow in this Thursday

@ Rodeo Drive.

HIV & SEX

I accidentally found a little bit old news.

No Angels Singer Nadja Benaissa Found Guilty in HIV Trial (click here to link).

She was sentenced 2 years suspended prison with 300 hours community service. Possible 10 years behind bars.

mmm.....

It is so difficult.

She is a carrier, and she was charged with aggravated assault.

mmm.....

If she was not carrier, she was not charged.
Nothing happened.

mmm.....


HIV is not infected in normal sexual activity in general.
Of course not 100% sure.

Especially it is really low possibility infect woman to man.

The boyfriend was unlucky?

Or other boyfriends were lucky?

Anyway two of them are living with HIV virus their left of lives.

I wish their virus do not break out to Aids in their whole lives.












B-T-W, I don't really like her eyebrows.

Painters

271 previously unknown works by Pablo Picasso are found.

(Click here to read this news)

I have heard many artists (painters) gave their paints for neighbors, friends or just someone who know each other.

Because many of them were poor or not famous at those time.
Their work become popular after their death or in their later life.

I now a story of a Japanese painter, Kaita Murayama (1896-1919).

He was really poor in his young age right after he graduated high school.
He lived in a small room with very cheap rent.
His landlord invited him for dinners all the time, because he did not have any money at that time.

Thereafter he moved out the room, and he left a his painting for the landlord as gratitude.

Years years later, offspring of the landlord came to a TV show.
The TV show appraise every thing, such as old toys, calligraphies and paintings.

And the appraisers priced the his painting, "auction start at 30,000,000 yen (about $375,000), final price should be over 100,000,000 yen (about $1,250,000)".

He died by Spanish flu in 1919, that was about 80 years before this TV show.
And the offspring of the landlord said, "we don't sell this, because this picture is treasure of my family".

Cont. Toxic Minerals

Continuing from Nov. 15th post for toxic mineral.

Aluminum is one of them, too.
It is comes from:
Aluminum pots or pans, can, thin foil, toothpaste, digestive medicine and baking powder.
The symptoms are:
Lack of appetite, shortness of breath, myalgia, convulsion, digestive disorder and Alzheimer.

Cadmium,
Comes from:
Smoking, exhaust fumes, plating factory and bearing factory.
The symptoms are:
Hair loss, anemia, lack of appetite, fatigue, increasing blood pressure and over sensitivity.

Nickel,
Comes from:
Smoking, margarine and plating factory.
The symptoms are:
Lassitude, fatigue, diarrhea, insomnia and dermatitis.

These above are major toxic minerals.

And the symptoms of Cadmium are totally corresponding to "Blood Deficiency" in Oriental Medical Theory.

Our ancestors were probably practicing to the patients who were contaminated by Cadmium, before they found the element "Cadmium".


By the way, I just realized a fact today that "Ni-Cad Battery" is abbreviation of "Nickel Cadmium Battery".




I haven't seen this awhile, fortunately (^^)v.

Euglena

mmm... yum yum....

Castella (sponge cake) came from Portugal hundreds years ago.

It is one of the Japanese classic cake in now a day.


A confectionery "SouKe Kutsuwa-Dou" (in Takamatsu Tokushima, Japan) succeeded to make the Castella with Euglena.

They hope good effect for beauty and health because Euglenas contain various nutrients such as vitamin B group, vitamin C, folic acid, DHA, EPA, zinc, etc...

A piece of Castella (about an inch in thickness) contain about 220,000,000 Euglenas.

A whole cake (a little shorter than a foot long) is 1,995 Yen (about $24).

Do you want to try? (≡^∇^≡)

Australia

I was confusing all the time about these 2 countries

Cat & Gator

You may have seen this video yet (click here),
because the counter indicates more than 2,300,000 views.

This cat is so brave.

But don't try it.

Maybe they were in the mood like "Gators just wanna have fun".




(This picture has no relation with this article... (^_^;))

Toxin

I wrote about mercury 2 post ago.

At this time, I talk about some other "Toxins"".

In past several years or decade, I have heard the word "Detox" often.
I don't really know what the people are calling "toxin" for.

I have seen some people soak their feet in sea salt water with electric poles, and then the water color turn to dark.
Magnesium, natrium (=sodium) and some more elements move to negative pole (because they are easy to lose electrons).
Sulfur, phosphorus, etc. move to positive pole (opposite reason of above).
Iron, copper and zinc appear often, too.

These were not come from their body, came from sea salt.
However, body oil from their feet also maybe one of the elements for turning water color dark.

By the way, the zinc is one of the toxic minerals for your body.
That is contained in gasoline, hair color, pottery, paint, and old water pipe...
The symptoms are anemia, anxiety, dizziness, pain in bone and muscle, headache...

Arsenic is another toxic mineral.
Contained in pesticide, vermicide...
The symptoms are fatigue, burning pain in hands and feet, gastrointestinal dysfunction.

I don't think you should shut out 100% of those, but hope those away from you as much as possible.


I am planning that I will mention to other toxin in sometime later.

Chocolate

One of my cousin is a patisserie.

He has had some awards in Japan and France.


He made a very high quality chocolate in several years ago.

That is named "Maboroshi" meaning "Phantom".

That is sized little bit smaller than a ping-pong ball.

And the price is 1,200 Japanese Yen + tax.

In U.S. dollar, it is $15 in recent late.

Yes, I thought, "What a expensive!" as you thought.


But I accidentally found this article today. (click here)

$250 a piece?!

Oh My Buddha!
Who .... Where .... How .... and ....

For your health, be careful for over eating of chocolate.

Do you want to over eat these chocolates?


I like "KitKat" by the way... (^^)v

Mercury

I saw a patient first time in a while.

We were talking about food.

And she said, “I don’t eat sushi sashimi any more, because mercury”.

In general, I don’t really think you should be worried about mercury from most food from major markets or restaurants in LA.

However, this patient was under the acupuncture treatments for infertility and she got a baby at her 42 years old in few years ago.

And she has a plan to have another baby.

So I agreed her avoiding raw fish.

Anyway, mercury comes to your body from:

Contaminated sea foods, pesticide, cosmetic products, amalgam (the metal for tooth cavity), mercury cell, medical thermometer, thimerosal (preservative of preventive vaccination), etc.

The symptoms are:

Headache, deafness, pain with unknown source, no appetite, nauseas, fatigue, depression, washed-out feeling, exhaustion, atopic dermatitis, allergic reaction, obesity, autism, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder).

There are so many symptoms.

In most of cases, the reasons are something else though.

If you are worried intoxication of mercury by these symptoms, go to see physicians before panic.

And I am a physician, too. As you know…

I'm Back

I'm Back.

I have been out of this blog a while.
Because I had some personal issues.

4 of my supporters passed away in last several months.
I have done some massages to them, but they were not my patients.
They were my supporters.
Non of them went by disease or sickness.

I have thought writing about them, but I don't.
I just live stronger with feeling them.

And if God tries to take you away from this world, I will fight with God.

Rest in peace, Amen.

eclipse

eclipse.

Yes. Twilight Saga...

I attended the pre-premier party.

Make-up corner sponsored by "Hard Candy".









These are real candies sponsored by .... I didn't check their name, but their candy bags say, "I have A sweeT tooth".




Many of Vampire brand candies were there.





















And Sushi. Sponsored by Koi restaurant.


















Cocktail corner sponsored by O.N.E. A girl took my picture when I took their picture. Haha.









There are many of Werewolves and some Vampires. <-- Click here to see nice professional photos.

By my camera, Werewolves and girls.










A werewolf Boo Boo was interviewed.









And me... as always.









Usually I am not in a picture with actors, but this time... accidentally..



☜☜☜






Anyway, I can't wait to see "The Twilight Saga: eclipse".

Quality of Living

A consultation company "Mercer" released result of "Quality of Living Survey".

They concerns Politics, Economic Condition, Public Security, Medical Care, Education, Traffic, Natural Disaster, and more... 39 items.

Vienna got the 1st place of the World (221 cities) as last year.
The lowest ranked city is Baghdad.

Highest rank in United States is Honolulu (31st).
Highest rank in Japan is Tokyo (40th).

I could not find LA or Beverly Hills. Please let me know if you found it.

I am sure I want to visit Vienna sometime, but to live...
I guess LA is enough comfortable to me (^^)v

Parking

I have a parking lot.

Yes, usually people do.

But my building has only 6 parking lots, there are 11 businesses though.

And of course many business have several employees.

The yellow one is mine









My next lot









Oh! Please please do not park never ever behind mine like that...

Continuing Education

Acupuncturists need to take certain hours of Continuing Education classes for maintain our license.

I attended one of those at last Sunday.

The class title was "Facial Acupuncture", which sounds like I always do.

However, I was really interested others' strategies.

The class was 9am to 5pm.
First three quarter of it was lecture.











And last quarter was practice.

Now a day, I believe that many people know Acupuncturists use points of far area from target area.






So...





At first this model patient (he is an acupuncturist too) got some needles on his feet for his face and eyes. (He had little problem on his eyes.)

And needles on his face after hands.













After this practice his face was so much healthy looking, and rejuvenated.















The instructor Dr.'s method was similar as mine, but I learned some of supplementary strategies.

Now TERRA ORIENTAL MEDICINE is power upped.

You want to try it? Please call (^^)v

Gang of muggers no match for ninjas

I found a news about Ninja. click here.

Real Ninjas sure existed long time ago.

They said, "Sasuke Sarutobi ran on the water twice in his life".

That method was - left step of the water, and step right foot on the water before left foot sink. And another left step before right foot sink. And another right step before left foot sink. And .......

Not many people believe it, I guess. But that maybe true.

One of the Japanese hero in my generation is


"The Masked Ninja Akakage" (Red Shadow: right).

Shirokage (White Shadow: left).

Aokage (Blue Shadow).

Their ninja wears are little too shiny.

The Sydney ninjas' belts are not ninjas'. Those are for Karate, Judo, or something else.

We think Ninjas are cool, but they should not be gorgeous as Superman or Spider man.

By the way, do not try doing that Ninjas did in the news.

That was too dangerous, especially in LA.
