Bringing a bento box to school? That’s old school. Nowadays, the cool kids bring their own bento rice cooker. Depending on your rice intake, that is bound to save you at least ¥100 yen everyday. ^^.

Well, it was Valentine’s Day yesterday. With temperatures just below 20 degrees Celsius, it was a rather warm one in Tokyo this year. The common practice for Valentine’s Day in Japan is for girls to give guys chocolate. Not the other way around… and no exchanging of gifts. Guys can be anyone, colleagues, bosses, friends etc. Although I suspect that the special guy does get premium chocolate instead of the usual brand. ^^.

We were spring cleaning our lab and I chanced upon this sweet box! It was from a time when the Apple logo had colors. By the way, anyone know why the Apple logo has a byte taken out of it? ^^. I was pretty excited when I found this. Does it even still work?

This is my favorite Japanese tofu brand. Otokomae Tofu, 男前豆腐. It has a very unique and fresh taste that sets it apart from the regular tofu. With soya beans from Hokkaido and water from the southern seas of Okinawa, you’re bound to savor every bite. ^^. Did I mention that some of their tofu is silky smooth too?

Not every supermarket in Tokyo carry their tofu though. I know a few in my area that do. There’s where I get tofu from. Yes, I travel for tofu. ^^.

男前豆腐 has a small “official” shop in Tokyo. It’s more like an outlet actually. Last I went, they had a small shop in one of the departmental stores in Futago Tamagawa. Don’t remember the name of that departmental store.

There were more tofu variations, but I usually get either one of these. 風に吹かれて豆腐屋ジョニー, Blowing in the wind Tofu shop Johnny (top) uses soya beans from Hokkaido and sea water from Okinawa. マサヒロ, Masahiro (right) will turn you into a handsome little thing. The 3 guys on the left, Ryuichi (top), Tetsuo (in the middle) and Masahiro (bottom). In the middle we have Tetsuo, 徹男. It’s tofu for cool guys. ^^.

Care to see what’s under?

Sitting in the dentist’s chair with one’s month opened wide, it’s hard to ignore the 2 pairs (maybe more) looking down inside me… Too much innuendo? Anyway, if the dentist is a guy, my eyes usually ignore him and focus on the cute nurse to my left. I just don’t feel like I should give the dentist too much eye contact when he’s holding a drill or sonic scrapper in my month. Lest he gets intimidated by my stare and starts messing around.. noooo.. that’s the last thing I want. It’s a different story when I get a dentistress. ^^. Anyway, I didn’t.

My eyes shifted and met the nurse’s cute eyes and only her eyes because her other features were covered up. I reckon it’s ok since she’s holding the suction tube and the only thing she can do to hurt me is to let me drown in my own saliva. A little gross, but probably not as painful as a high speed drill moving aimlessly in your mouth.

So I thought. Maybe I should post this question. Do you like your nurse masked or not? Everyone likes nurses right? In more ways than 1 perhaps. ^^. If nurse fantasy or fetishes weren’t a big thing, it would not have been such a pain looking for decent photos of nurses on the internets!

Do a google search on Japanese nurse and what do you think shows up? ^^.

The only sites that have a large collection of nurse photos… I almost lost heart after spending 20 minutes flipping through the many porn sites looking for some decent pictures. Maybe lost concentration would be a better word. lol. But I persevered!

So, how do you like your nurse? ^^.
