entertainment made local : April 9 2025

just look at that, this small shop near home has congratulatory flowers outside. now, i never really knew that this shop was new nor if the old one ran out of business. it always seemed that it never closed, and same goes to the opposite. a change of management perhaps? and ever so recently, people have been gathering inside. business must really be booming. it is a karaoke and snack bar, and by snack bar i meant the following.

In Japan, a "snack bar" (sunakku in Japanese) is a small, intimate bar, often run by a "mama-san" (hostess), where patrons can relax, enjoy drinks and light snacks, and engage in conversation.

at least that is what google AI said, and it is same to what i know. don't fret though, snack bars do not offer anything beyond that; anything beyond intimate conversations are between people though and the snack bar is not part of that.

i have been to one before, they want you to drink alcohol, and talk, and drink some more. they would also ask you to give them a drink. it is the only way the bar get the cash, in exchange for the customer relieving stress.

i don't know if people around my neighborhood will need the services of this bar for long though.

later that night i decided to hit it at the treadmill instead. my housemate wanted to have a gym session since yesterday, but then i came back a bit late from my brick searching nightwalk. so we cancelled the whole routine and had a quick pull ups session instead.

today though he specifically said that we should go. that gave me no other choice but to stay nearby. i could not afford to walk around the neighborhood, that would probably take a couple more hours again. so i settled for the treadmill.

here we are again with the tv shows, it was a quiz show this time. and the topic, famous bentou boxes around japan. ranked 2 of the best was this unagi (fresh water eel) box from hiroshima. that surely looked tasty! bentou boxes are very popular in japan, and those sold in train or shinkansen stations are extra special. those often features the best food product in the area it was sold in. with that in mind, hiroshima must be super proud of their unagi products to be featured in this special bentou box.

i ended the night with a back workout session. good thing that i have already posted my entries earlier, we finished the session just before midnight. that took more than 2 hours. just a side note though, our gym added another set of massage chair. with 2 massage chairs, the allowable usage times was also adjusted to 5 minutes longer than before. i'm just happy how this gym has also been constantly improving.

anyways, for those interested, here was the back session i had.

pull ups (10 x 6) - i was still catching my breath from the treadmill session
barbell bent-over row (60kg x 3 x 12)
shrugs (27.5kg per arm x 3 x 20)
chest supported bumbbell row (17.5kg per arm x 3 x 12)

• straight arm pulldown (22.7kg x 3 x 12)

reverse fly (32kg x 3 x 12)
