Shiroi Koibito was one of the souvenirs I loved as a kid!
It’s a super tasty white chocolate sandwich cookie.
It’s a classic choice that never fails!
Back then, whenever I craved it, I’d buy Oreos or a similar 4-piece pack from 7-Eleven for 25 dollars to satisfy the craving. But as a kid, that felt really expensive, haha.
Then when I actually bought some in Japan myself, I ended up letting them expire...? Such a waste...
The one in the photo was actually given to me by an auntie from my part-time job. I didn’t have a photo on hand, so I shamelessly asked her, “Could you bring me one to eat?” and she generously gave me one, hahaha.
So sweet... I feel like I’m getting old. I can’t handle really sweet cookies anymore.
I do have a sad memory about Shiroi Koibito, though. In elementary school, I went to a classmate’s house to play. I thought my best friend had gone to Japan and brought back a whole box for another friend. When I saw it, I started complaining, like, “Why does he get a whole box and I don’t? I only got one cookie...” Thinking back on it now, it’s so embarrassing.
When you’re a guest at someone’s house, you’re supposed to be polite. And it’s not like I didn’t get a cookie at all. Tsk tsk.
But it was just that kind of feeling, haha.
I just felt like, if I was supposedly his closest friend, why didn’t I get a whole box too? I don’t know why, but I’ve never forgotten that moment.

SKIN AQUA Hyaluronic Serum UV
In addition to SPF50+ / PA++++ UV protection, this sunscreen contains a high concentration of three types of hyaluronic acid to help keep moisture on the skin’s surface. It covers a wide range of UV rays, from UV-A to UV-B, and uses Light-Durability Capsule NEO®, which helps keep its UV protection from breaking down due to exposure to light such as UV rays.
Because so many people recommended it, I easily lost all self-control, and it also claims to be non-sticky〜 so I bought it〜 It's so easy to make money off women (⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)
I still think it's a little sticky. Compared with others, it's already not that sticky, but I'm pretty picky. It doesn't make your hair stick, though, and it has a faint sunscreen smell!
But I'm also pretty lazy and can't be bothered to apply it, so I don't really know how effective the sun protection is. There are lots of videos where they divide the skin into sections and test products under strong sunlight, and this one is pretty good〜 The strongest is still black tape hahahaha
You can also use it on your face〜 -

Black Thunder
This chocolate snack is very popular for its affordable price of 40 yen and deliciousness. Cocoa cookie and plain biscuit are coated with chocolate. You can taste the light bitterness of a cocoa cookie matched with the sweetness of chocolate. Crunchy texture and the volume which can fill your stomach lightly pleases you.
Super-sweet chocolate + crunchy cookies = Black Thunder
It had been a really, really long time since I'd had Black Thunder. It was hugely popular for a while, and I was obsessed with it in elementary school. I heard you couldn't even buy it in Japan back then!
I think one of my classmates brought back a bag to hand out to everyone, and everyone looked at them like they were a celebrity. It was hilarious 😆
I was no exception, because I also wanted to taste what everyone was scrambling to get〜
Sure enough, it tasted extra special. I also had a huge sweet tooth back then. Wow, it was so good〜 I really wanted another one.
Back then, anyone who had Black Thunder was a celebrity. Elementary school was so simple and uneventful, haha.
But now,
when I see it at a convenience store, I don't even feel like buying it. So funny.
I've noticed that chocolate products often cause buying frenzies in Taiwan. Does everyone remember the dirty chocolate bun? -

Alinamin EX Plus
Alinamin EX Plus is great for sleep-deprived, modern go-getters who face eye fatigue, stiff shoulders, and lower back pain. Alinamin is a trusted brand in play for 65 years.
Alinamin is
my grandma's, grandpa's, and mom's go-to health supplement.
(It really does get rave reviews, huh? This isn't sponsored haha.)
The older ladies and men at my company buy this all the time. I see people bringing it back for others all the time〜
I kept wondering, is it really that miraculous?
Out of curiosity, I opened my mom's bottle and took three pills. Sorry, maybe I'm still young, so I didn't really feel anything. Or maybe I'm just not very sensitive. As long as I'm in a good mood, I feel as energized as a fully charged battery haha.
Though honestly, I'm not actually that healthy haha.
The only thing I really noticed was that when I went to the bathroom, there was a pretty strong medicinal smell. I love drinking water because walking over to refill my cup lets me slack off for a bit, so it can't be because I don't drink enough water, right? But when I'm too busy, I can't do that⋯ Being a corporate drone is so sad😭
I'll try it again when I'm older〜 -
