Since I'm trying to lose weight, I make a habit of eating home-cooked meals as opposed to eating out. During my mini-vacation with Mugen though, we ate out quite a bit and I can feel that I've put on weight, even though it doesn't show. 

And it doesn't help that Mugen
 gave me an awesome box of chocolates made with all sorts of unusual ingredients.

Ginger, Wasabi, Black Sesame. 
Hickory Uncured Bacon, Alderwood Smoked Salt. 
Mexican Ancho  & Chipotle Chillies and Ceylon Cinnamon. 
Oaxacan Guajillo y Pasilla Chillies.

So far, I've only tried one of the Ginger, Wasabi and Black Sesame chocolates. I thought it would taste disgusting, but it actually wasn't bad at all! 

Anyway, we decided to go hang out at a water park since the weather was nice and the tickets were cheap. Even though I wore SPF +50 sunblock, I still got sunburnt! Since we arrived early, we had time to get on all the rides. My favorite one was a slide where as you near the end, the tubes become transparent and you can see real dolphins swimming around you as you go down. After we got on everything, we relaxed near the pool.

The chocolates sound fascinating. I've never found anything here quite that outlandish.

...and great photos, too. Weirdly, my photos tweaker of choice has removed their vignette effect. What do you use?

Im so curious to hear your grades on each of these chocolates particularly the last one as it sounds rather exotic.

Wonderful photos, love the colours.. where was this waterpark?

I'm sure you wrote about it somewhere, but why does Mugen have the big red ** attached to the name?

Glad you had a good time!

The flavors seem... interesting lol. I'd have to try them out, but I'm iffy on the uncured bacon flavored one. Let me know how it tastes when you've tried them! Do you know if these are chocolates are sold internationally?

The chocolates definitely sound interesting. I was surprised at how good the goya flavored chinsukos were that were in my random box from Okinawa last time.

Ah, waterparks. I envy you. Michael burns ridiculously easily so it's impossible to go to a waterpark with him and I don't really have time otherwise.

Is that guy in the glasses your boyfriend?

He has a nice body. I'm currently lifting weights, and I'll be lucky if after years of lifting I'll look as good as that.

The unusual chocolate sounds interesting - I think I'd eat that too because I'm really into eating strange stuff like that.

The water park looks like one I've been to that is part of Sea World, Orlando - is that the same one you were at?

"An ugly duckling growing out of her feathers."

Hello. I'm Zia, and this is most obviously my journal. I write about my life between Japan and the US, and all the adventures I find myself in. People often say they are envious of the life I seem to live, but the truth is, I feel a little unsatisfied with it myself, so I've decided to do something about it--to find what really makes me happy. Hopefully by documenting my life, I can figure out where I need to be heading. This journal is my way of opening my world to those around me in hopes of meeting people searching for the same thing or encountering people who have already gone through this kind of struggle. 

Back in my high school days, I used to be a bit of a nerd. I was really in to comic books of all kinds, action figures...all that jazz.  These days, though my interest in comic books re-surfaces every so often, I'm very much more in to things like fashion, dance, music, travel, tea, baking, writing letters, photography, animals and fitness. I'm a straight shooter--meaning I do not (or rather, can not?) lie. Keeping up with lies is too much trouble. 

Anyway, there is more information about me on my profile. Feel free to take a look there or catch me on another site★
