Genki means Energy!

Image
My morning first duty was hearing Sunday Mass (at the Mall)  Then came my Genki Sushi Getaway, a new Japanese Resto find, not to mention a new Japanese word! Did you know? The Japanese word “genki” ( 元気 ) means “I’m fine”, “I’m well”, or “I’m in good health”, but it can also be used to say that someone is or is doing something “lively”, “energetic”, or “with enthusiasm”.  When used in the phrase “Ogenki desu ka?” it can also be translated as “How are you?” in English. The Japanese word “ genki ” (元気) consists of  two kanji . The first one  元  (gen) means “ origin “, “ source “, “ basis “, or “ foundation “. The second kanji  気  (ki) means “ spirit “, “ mind “, “ motivation “, “ energy “, or “ mood “. When you put the meaning of both kanji together you literally get “ source of energy “. 現 (gen)  – origin, source, basis, foundation, etc. 気 (ki)  – spirit, mind, motivation, energy, mood, etc. This is a very good start to understand  what  “ genki ”  really means , because in Japanese the

3 Games Acquisti

  I just bought my fave games on various platforms... Empire Warrior Tower Defense No Ads Purchase+ for the iPAD/iMAC. This game is clearly a Vietnamese (Developer’s) knock-off of the addictive, highly-rated and amusing Uruguay TD game Kingdom Rush Series but don't tell them I told you. In many ways, this one is easier to play with. As for “cheaper”,  I'm not so sure. I also have this on my Samsung Android phone, btw. It’s got many bugs though. Back to the Future Pinball Table for Zen Pinball 2 on the iMAC, the only Pinball game that will work on the MAC. I’m already enjoying this on my Switch but the iMac’s got a bigger, more suitable display not to mention its trademark Spatial Audio for the entertaining movie sound bytes. Real Boxing 2 for the Nintendo Switch, a real steal for $.50 (I bought a couple of days ago)!  I was looking for a good wrestling game but this is what I found. From the short gameplay time I’ve spent with it so far, I find it’s not that bad. It actually

Saturday Morning Collaged Featuring Director Naomi Hamaguchi Today Saturday, I didn't really exercise in the gym but ambled around SM Mall and stopped by a Final Fantasy Booth that would later make me offhandedly attend a Meet & Greet Event for Director Naomi Hamaguchi ( of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth) in the afternoon. I was able to familiarize myself with main RPG character  C l o u d a little bit on the P S 5 and even clawed a free FF tote bag prize   all while waiting for my name to be called on an ongoing hourly raffle. I just had to complete my ticket stamps first. I didn't win in the raffle but that's okay. There's still tomorrow! Then I had a hearty lunch at my go-to Japanese Resto Tsurumaru of Kake Udon, Tempura, Karaage + California Maki which fittingly had a 50% discount on selected tempura and udon dishes which I bought. After this, I headed to a nearby Starbucks and drank some Java Chip Frappuccino as my sweet dessert before heading back to the Final Fa

Ciao Febbraio!

Febbraio in a GIF Ciao Febbraio! Ciao è Ba-boo! Cougar t-shirt. Puma shoes.   I didn't even know it was a Leap Year until Feb 29 came today!  Maybe I really am a cat; born a cat and trying to dive in my own kitty litter of an endless Dune sandbox which I had the opportunity to grab in the mall yesterday. I went to the gym early so I can watch the movie Dune on its opening day unhampered by the usual swarm of mall-goers/movie viewers I anticipated would greet me.  As it turned out, only five people were watching the movie and it was the "weekday crowd"  so...  it wasn't really a problem. Anyway, because of this, I had many chances of getting fairly good selfies here and there.   As someone might say, "the early cat catches the worm" :-)  and that I definitely deftly did. I hope.
