Lucky Food

A really cool gift from Asuna-san which my mom didn't open because she didn't know what it was. She waited for me to come home and figure things out for her (given my tiny knowledge of the Nihongo).

It turned out to be a snack. Mamemasa "Kuriimu Goshiki Mame" or the five colored bean cream.

Beans are considered "lucky food." And the five colors represents the earth: green for trees, pink for fire, yellow for soil, white for gold and brown for water. (source) uhmmm... yeah, that's what the website says but I think its yellow for gold, white for water and brown for soil, right? right? lol

Aside from the earth representation, the colors indicate flavor. Ichigo (strawberry), Banana, Miruku (milk), Koohii (coffee), and Maccha (green tea).



120th Anniversary of the five colored bean cream.

Watched a LIVE last night. Veteran musicians are very entertaining to listen to.



Thank you for letting me play Chico, Paolo, Mr. Elmer Alba (uncle of Michael Alba) and Mr. Benny (for lending me his guitar). Thank you to my cousin, Kuya Jingo for bringing me there.

My mom brought a camera but didn't take one single shot of me playing. LOL

And yeah, a LIVE is a shorter term for Live Concert, Live Performance etc. usually at a bar (I think!). Do you know if they use that term for concerts in real concert halls? Let me know. =)
