Daily Life, Travels and Events in Reiwa

May 1, 2026: Watched "The Devil Wears Prada 2” in Osaka. It was a highly positive and enjoyable film that leaves you feeling energized and uplifted. Hearing Vogue by Madonna brought back wonderful memories, as it was one of the biggest hits when I was on assignment in the United States. At Starbucks, I ordered Miranda’s latte, a special collaboration drink inspired by this movie. May 11, 2026: I enjoyed breakfast at Starbucks in Hattori Ryokuchi Park on a gorgeous, crystal-clear May morning.

April 25, 2026: I bought a new pair of gloves for kickboxing training as a way to refresh my mindset for the new fiscal year. I’d like to continue making time to enjoy moderate exercise without overdoing it. April 29, 2026: The new gloves feel great, and I was able to work up a very satisfying sweat. https://tedsogo2021.blogspot.com/2026/04/april-29-2026-new-gloves-feel-great-and.html?m=1
