最近キャベツとイカの野菜炒めにはまっています。 Lately, I've been hooked on stir-fried cabbage and squid.
Why do vegetables stay crisp when stir-fried in a wok?
Why does adding lard make stir-fried vegetables taste so good?

シャワールームのくしゃみは続いています。 My sneezing continues in the shower room.

耳の皮脂もするっと落ちました。 It also easily removed oil from my ear sebum.
I wondered why.
When I lathered my head and face, the soap suds got on my nose, and I started sneezing.
The soap I was using before was Safeguard, which has high antibacterial properties.
I switched to Bioleaf, which is made with natural ingredients.
The sneezing stopped.
It lathers well.
It also easily removed oil from my ear sebum.
I bought three to try, so I'll see how it goes.
Having allergies is really troublesome.
I don't sneeze when I use the milk soap I bought in Japan.
There must be something going on... P&G.

この歌を聴くと、歯を食いしばったことを思い出します。 Listening to This Song Reminds Me of the Times I Gritted My Teeth.
2026年8月7日金曜日
きのう、歯の掃除のために歯医者に行きました。 Yesterday, I went to the dentist for a teeth cleaning.
I get inexplicably nervous whenever I hear the dentist's drill handpiece.
My fingers, which I had clasped on my stomach, lifted from my hands due to the tension.
The muscles around my neck became stiff and tired.
I had my teeth cleaned, a recessed tooth filled, and the chipped edge of my front tooth repaired.
Where did the 1-2 mm chipped tooth fragment go?
It seems I swallowed it with some food.

次回は借景を試してみます。 Next time, I'll try using it as borrowed scenery.
Vines have wrapped around its branches, blocking the kitchen window.
I didn't want to cut the branches that had grown back, but I had no choice.
The window is now bright again.
Perhaps it would have been better to leave the branches and incorporate them into the window frame as part of the borrowed scenery?
Papaya trees are very resilient, so they will grow back.
Next time, I'll try using it as borrowed scenery.

おはようございます。 鼻詰まりが楽になってきました。 Good morning. My stuffy nose is getting better.
Good morning.
The temperature at 8 AM is 28°C.
The tropical depression east of the Philippines has disappeared.
It's a beautiful, clear blue morning.
A pleasant breeze is rustling the palm leaves.
Sparrows are pecking at food and taking dust baths on the balcony.
The song is "Pretty Paper" by Roy Orbison.
This Christmas song, composed by Willie Nelson, seems to have had a real-life inspiration.

モールのイベントホール。The event hall at the mall.
- ピンタドの由来: 16世紀にスペイン人が訪れた際、ビサヤ諸島(ボホール島を含む)の先住民が体に美しい入れ墨をしていたため「ロス・ピンタドス(塗られた人々)」と呼んだことに由来します。
- 戦士の証: 当時は、戦いでの功績や勇気、個人の地位を表すために全身に入れ墨を施す伝統がありました。
- 現代の状況: ボホール島において、かつてのピンタドのような伝統的な入れ墨の風習は現在残っていません。
There was a body painting contest being held in the event hall there.
Symbol of Warriorhood:

今日のハッシュブラウンは薄いターメリックの味がしました。 Today's hash browns had a faint turmeric flavor.
They asked me when I was going to start diving, and I answered, "August."
They said my face is more blooming than last year.
I was happy inside.
Why can't I express my emotions as openly as the people who live here?
If they were here, they'd be beaming and repeating thank you.
I thought about that while drinking my coffee.

彼女の優しい親切と素敵な笑顔で心の迷いが解けました。 Her kind gesture and lovely smile dispelled my indecision.
She pointed to a debarked walking stick and said, "Use this."
I replied, "Good morning.
Thank you.
I won't be using it."
After walking seven or eight steps, the girl came back.
She said in a gentle voice, "Make sure you drink plenty of water."
Okay, I will! Thanks for telling me, and I asked if I could take a picture, which is the photo above.
Her kind gesture and lovely smile dispelled my indecision.
I decided to try diving again.
I'll start from three to five meters below the boat.
I took my camera and lens out of the many Desiccant packets.

休日のカラオケ事情とは違う静けさが漂っています。 A calm silence, unlike the usual holiday karaoke scene, hung in the air.
隣の港からいつもと違う太鼓のお囃子と歌が朝から流れていました。
午後6時にはそれがピタッと止みました。
休日のカラオケ事情とは違う静けさが漂っています。
午後6時すぎの気温は29℃です。
涼しい風が吹き始めました。
Today is a public holiday in Bohol province, not listed on the calendar.
It commemorates the history of Bohol Island's separation from Cebu and establishment as an independent province on 22 July 1854.
The Bohol emblem and flag depict the Blood Pact ceremony, the first peace treaty in the country, between the Bohol chief and Spain.
The Chocolate Hills, a symbol of the province, are incorporated as a background and motif.
The blue, white, and red colors indicate a connection to the Philippine flag.
From the neighboring port, unusual festival music and songs had been playing since morning.
At 6 PM, it stopped abruptly.
A calm silence, unlike the usual holiday karaoke scene, hung in the air.
The temperature was 29°C just after 6 PM.
A cool breeze began to blow.

TVの契約を変更しました。 I changed my TV contract.
I paid my subscription fee up to November and requested an adjustment.
The person who came told me that 10 channels had been added and the channels had changed.
The picture quality has decreased.
There are more channels with the same content.
There are fewer news programs.
I've given up on this company's contract.
I went to PLDT, the provider I use for internet and cell phone services, and signed up for Signal TV.
Since I don't know the content of each channel until I try it, I signed up for the basic contract.
It seems there are over 100 channels.
They promised to do the installation within 5 days and left.
The drawback of Signal TV is that the screen shakes in strong winds and heavy rain.
The picture quality will improve because it has switched from analog to digital.
