Day 9 Impact play - Sanzu/Chizu (Tokyo Revengers)

Warning: drug use and some abuse in this chapter. Or just you know Sanzu is his own warning.

Summary: Welcome to day 9 of kinktober. I am sick and have fallen behind on posting and honestly I barely remeber what I have wrote the last days so I will come back and edit stuff when I am not sick.

Last Day next day

The sun had just begun to set, casting an orange glow through the windows of Sanzu's stylish apartment. Chizu followed Sanzu back to his apartment after having just finished killing a few men who thought they could sell drugs on Bontens territory. Chisu could still feel her heart racing, adrenaline still pumping from the thrill of the kill. Blood still splattered across her left cheek. Both were aware of the simmering tension between them, an electric current that had been building ever since they started the job.

Sanzu barely got his shoes kicked off before he was walking into his living room. His right hand is already digging one of the baggies out of his pocket. Those pale blue eyes of his eyeing up the pills inside. He probably didn’t even know what the pills contained. But Chizu knew it would not matter, Sanzu would take them no matter if they were uppers or downers. Honestly he was an idiot. If anyone wanted to kill the man the easiest way would be to fill some pills with rat poison and the idiot would swallow them without a second thought.

She kicked off her heels before she was following after him, her stocking clad feet almost silent against the hardwood floor. She watched him tilt his head back and drop three of the strange pills into his mouth. How someone could swallow pills with no drink she did not know. And she was not about to ask about it.

Without a word one of his arms shot out towards her pulled her close to him, his hands sliding down her slender waist, and onto her firm ass. She gasped softly as their lips met in a passionate kiss, tongues entwining in a dance of lust. His hands roamed freely, exploring her curves through the thin fabric of her blouse and skirt. Chizu's fingers tangled in his hair, pulling him closer as if that was possible as their tongues danced together.

As the kiss deepened, Sanzu's hands became more adventurous. Slipping under her skirt and gripping at the back of her bare thighs before they were sliding up and pushing her skirt up with his hands. Chizu's breath quickened, and she arched her back, pressing her body against his. Sanzu's fingers teased the flesh of the bottom of her ass cheek before moving up to cup her ass in his palms. The groping did not last long before his hands moved to grip her stockings and with a swift motion, he ripped them off. She could hear the ripping of her poor pantiehose.

She wanted to ask him what the poor things had done to offend him. But she probably knew the reply she would get. And after all he was still running in the high of a finished job and killing people. Add the drugs he had just taken and she knew the man was in no state to give any shits about her. Next his fingers were grabbing at her panties, ripping the material down and leaving her completely exposed with her skirt bunched up and her panties falling to the floor. She gasped, not at the sudden exposure, but at the raw desire she saw in his eyes that had yet to glaze over with a high.

"You're mine, Chizu," Sanzu growled against her lips. "And I'm going to take what's mine."

Chizu nodded her head silently at him. After all, why argue with him? He was right, she belonged to Bonten. And so she belonged to him. The only person more important than him was Mikey. Her eyes glistened with a mix of arousal and anticipation. She wanted to please him, to submit to his every desire. As if reading her mind, Sanzu spun her around and pushed her against the armrest of the couch. Her skirt was already up around her stomach and with her being bent over it revealed her perfectly round ass to him. His calloused hand caressed it gently, his touch sending shivers up her spine.

"Every time my hand touches your beautiful ass, you will count," he commanded, his voice laced with authority and left no room for her to argue with him. Her heart raced as she felt the first stinging slap on her right cheek.

"One," she breathed, her breathing already picking up.

Sanzu's hand came down again, this time on the left cheek, leaving a warm, tingling sensation in its wake.

"Two," she whispered as she already felt breathless and he had surely just gotten started.

The spanking continued, each strike igniting a fire within her. Her ass grew warmer, the sensation of pain and pleasure blending into an unique ecstasy. She counted as each strike connected with her skin. Her voice grew louder with each number.

"Seventeen! Eighteen!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with a mix of pain and pleasure.

Sanzu paused, his hand hovering in the air.

"You're enjoying this aren't you? You little slut," he asked, his voice low and dangerous as he degraded her.

Oh it was so hard to bite back the urge to smirk at him. He was right, she enjoyed every slap of his hand against her ass. And the moans she let out with each spanking completely gave it away.

A dark smile spread across Sanzu's face pulling at the diamond scars in the corner of his lips. He knew he was right and her staying silent answered his question while being slightly bratty and disobedient. He delivered two swift smacks, one on each cheek, bringing the count to twenty. Chizu's ass was now a bright red, a testament to the fact that he had not held back at all. She would surely struggle to sit down now for the next day or two.

"You've been a very naughty girl, Chizu," he whispered, his hot breath against her ear sending shivers down her spine, "Now it's time for your punishment to continue."

He stepped back, taking a minute to admire his handy work that coloured her ass. His eyes tracing the curves of her body, from her perky breasts to her swollen, wet pussy lips. His fingers worked at the zipper of his pants while he stood there staring. Chizu stood there, trembling, her breath coming in short gasps as she was forced to await for his next move. Surely by now the pills he swallowed were taking effect. He was always unpredictable, but now even more than normally.

Sanzu's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as he took in the sight of her aroused state. He knew she was needy, her pussy glistening with desire. She was nearly creating a pool on the floor between her feet. Without warning, he plunged two fingers deep inside her, eliciting a loud cry of surprise and pleasure from Chizu.

"Oh fuck!" she exclaimed, her body jerking with the sudden invasion.

Sanzu's fingers worked their magic, curling and thrusting, finding her sweet spot with ease. He knew her body way too well by now. Chizu's legs trembled, her pussy clenching around his fingers as she struggled to maintain her sanity among the pleasure.

"Please, Sanzu," she begged, her voice hoarse. "I need more."

"Not yet, my pet. I want to hear you beg for my cock." Sanzu chuckled, his breath hot on her neck as he leaned over her bent form.

Without any warning he withdrew his fingers. Leaving her aching and empty she whimpered and whined out.

“Sanzu. Please. I need you,” she quickly started to blab and beg as her pussy clenched around nothing.

And that was what he had wanted to hear. Silently he positioned himself behind her. With one hand on her hip, he guided his thick, throbbing cock to her entrance. His tip was hot against her wet folds, teasing her as he slid his tip along her folds. Chizu pushed back, desperate to feel him inside her. But the hand on her hip quickly stopped her. Along with a deep growl from the body behind her.

"Please, just fuck me already!" she pleaded, her voice desperate and raw.

Sanzu obliged, driving his cock deep into her in one swift motion. Claiming her with a primal growl. Chizu cried out, her body shaking as she adjusted to his size. He gave her no chance to adjust to his sudden intrusion as he began to move, his hips thrusting in a relentless rhythm. Filling her completely with each rough thrust.

"That's it, take it all," he grunted, his hands gripping her hips tightly. "You love being fucked, don't you?"

She could barely nod her head, her words lost in the waves of pleasure washing over her. Sanzu's cock felt incredible. He was stretching her, filling her in a way that ignited every nerve ending in her body. He pounded into her, his pace increasing with each thrust, his balls slapping against her clit with every retreat. She could feel the tension in her body building quickly.

"Oh god, I'm gonna cum!" Chizu cried out, her body tensing as her orgasm built.

Sanzu showed no mercy, his rhythm relentless as he drove her closer to the edge.

”Cum for me. Let me feel your pussy milk my cock."

His words were the final push she needed. Her body convulsed, her pussy clenching around his cock as she came hard. Sanzu growled, his own release building as he felt her orgasmic spasms. Her body was squeezing and milking his cock for all it was worth.

"Fuck, yes!" he roared, as he emptied his load deep inside her. His hot cum painted her insides and mixed with her own juices.

They stood there, both panting as they tried to catch their breath. Her body was limp and bent over the armrest of the couch. Sanzu's hands stroked her hair, his once sadistic demeanor softening slightly as he enjoyed the high from the adrenaline, drugs, and ecstasy from the orgasm.

The moment did not last long till he was stepping back from her. She whimpered as his soft cock slipped from her body. She could hear shuffling behind her, she could only assume he was putting himself away and pulling his pants back up to dress himself.

“I’m going for a shower,” was all he said before turning and leaving her alone in his living room to recover on her own. She best head home. He was not the only one who needed a shower. She still had blood on her face, or she would if she didn’t stain his couch with it.

Next day

More on Terrorspark

[More introductory stuff here]

- The name it uses is self made, it's originally known by a different name that was given by Unicron. However it greatly prefers Terrorspark and has made the conscious decision to introduce itself by that instead. It feels the name is more.. Gentle. And brief. In it's mind, the name attempts to communicate a sense of personhood and vulnerability, despite the fact that Terrorspark itself wouldn't recognize itself as experiencing fear. Or much of a person

- It's vessel doesn't need as much energon as the average cybertronian in order to function. It can even survive way longer periods without it completely, however energon does help, since the vessel might get brittle and wears with the constantly sustained damage of. Ykno. Floating through space without an alt form.

- The vessel is able to scan for an alt form but hasn't figured this out yet. It also hasn't encountered anything to scan yet. This is subject to change since I just haven't put Terrorspark through alot of story events yet so the character is still partially a blank slate

- but I have bounced around potentially encountering other characters and getting into hijinks thusly. We'll have to see where it takes me

- Terrorspark has a pretty fuzzy self perception as one might imagine, since it spends most of its time in planet mode and had to be slavishly dedicated to it's job. There hasn't been much time for self reflection but it aims to do that now during it's long journey ahead. It's just that trying to get a grasp on what you even look like in bot mode made it challenging to create a vessel in the first place - not that they absolutely need to look like Terrorspark itself accurately, but it does help considering it's trying to advocate for itself and all that. It's not meant to be an alternate persona, Terrorspark wants to be fairly upfront about itself to any potential newcomers, though it might be forced to change that depending on circumstance. Especially considering things might not go over well when introducing yourself as something as dramatic as 1. A titan and 2. A creation of Unicron

- Back in "Torture planet" mode, the thing was that Terrorspark would be sustained by the suffering of others, like an emotional vampire. But additionally to that it also absorbed the sparks of any bots who died on it's surface. I've mentioned this earlier somewhat but I'm not sure if I was as clear cut as this. So in case that needed to be cleared, that's how TR got enough to spare for basically giving it's vessel it's own spark.

-TR would probably love listening to some nice music, especially since the options are "vacuous silence of space" and "screams of the tormented". Give that bot like an. IPod or something. Put on some Carly Rae jepsen or. Chisu. I guess. Just give that thing pleasant background noise for once

On today’s episode, Jeremy talks about Karate’s less talked about innovator, the grandfather of Karate, Anko Itosu.

Anko Itosu – Episode 321

It is common that when we talk about the history of Karate, we always hear Gichin Funakoshi’s name because he is a primary figure in making karate popular in Japan. On the other hand, Anko Itosu may not have made it popular but he created the movements that are the foundation of Karate today. On this episode, Jeremy talks about Anko Itosu, the grandfather of Karate. Jeremy shares interesting stories that made Anko Itosu a legendary figure in the world of Karate. Listen to learn more!

Jeremy Lesniak:

Hey everyone, thanks for coming by! This is whistlekickmartialartsradio episode 321 and today we’ll talk about Anko Itosu, the grandfather of modern karate. If you don’t know my voice, my name is Jeremy, Jeremy Lesniak. I’m the founder was kick in the host on the show and I love martial arts that’s why I do this, that’s why do all of this and I hope you enjoy it.

And of course it is available via prime so free shipping. Let’s talk about today’s subject Anko Itosu.

One of the most remarkable founding Masters of karate is Anko Itosu. Itosu is regarded by many as the father of modern karate, even though Gichin Funakoshi is more often given his title mostly because Funakoshi was responsible for promoting karate all over Japan. Since Itosu founded most of the activities in karate and for Funakoshi trained under Itosu, we might consider Itosu as the grandfather of modern karate. Now, there’s a bit of confusion with his name the name Anko Itosu may have been confused from some writing. There are two common sets of kanji in Japanese the “an” and the “kun” and both of them can be used interchangeably. So we’ve got the name Yasatsuni Itosu, and the alternative name Anko Shishu, and are technically the same name. Now, that confusion of who was who began when a Japanese translator named Shingo Ychida use Itosu and Chisu in the same book describing same person but a lot of people who read it thought that there were two different people. Now since there are no real firm rules between which kanji should be used in which situation, Anko Itosu, kind of a hybrid is what’s generally accepted now. Itosu was born in 1830 in Gibo village, Sherry Ryukyu kingdom. He grew up with his father who was very strict and really harsh in implementing discipline. Moreover their family was a Kimochi, a family of position and it was required that they be strict. As a child Itosu was physically abused by his father and even got regular beatings with stick even though he was really small as a kid. His father’s reasoning was wanting Itosu to develop a strong personality and a warrior like spirit. Itosu’s introversion and extreme shyness may be due to this kind of discipline and his smaller size. It was difficult for him but this kind is set up as a kid molded him into what he became in his later years. Itosu was well educated with Chinese classics and calligraphy he was in the [00:03:09.24] class under the Ryukyu kingdom caste system. Having exemplified excellent calligraphy skills, Itosu acquired the position of secretary with soshikuri  the administrative office of the Ryukyu kingdom. Itosu began learning karate at an early age as it was customary for families of his position to train in martial arts. His first teacher was Nagahama [00:03:34.01] and he progressed with his training quickly. He became a powerful disciple in a short time and at the age of 16, he became a student bodyguard of the famed sokon also known as bushi matsamura. He eventually became the best disciple of this man, Matsamura. Aside from Itosu, Matsamura had another excellent student named kiyuna [00:03:54.29] both Itosu and Kiyuna were known for their great punching power power. One of the stories from that time was the intense makawara practice of kiyuna. The makawara or a post, tree that would be hit you’re not a karate practitioner you might not recognize that, but bottom line sometimes people make amount of two by fours now and they’ll put a pad on it to soften it so you’re not quite directly hitting the wood. The makawara according to the story would break in less than a month under kiyuna’s fabled strength. Afterwards, he decided to use a tree for a makiwara and he tied a leather sandals there just for bit cushion. Now it seems like myth but according to this legend the tree died in 10 days, that’s how strong kiyuna was claimed to be. There’s also story told by Nagamine Shoshu, a former committee member of the protection of cultural assets Department of Shori. According to him, when is about 10 years old this is 1907 he saw Itosu visiting kiyuna at the guard house during kiyona’s breaks as a guard in [00:05:01.00]. He described them both his muscular and their fists full of calluses from the intense makawara training eventually Nagamini became a student of kiyona and he witness how Itosu and Kiyona practice kata together he was amazed how powerfully, how beautifully the two Masters executed kata. Itosu remained a secretary for 30 years until the Sho Dynasty ended in 1879. After that, he started his own printing business. Following his passion he also taught karate to a few students and that group included Gichin funakoshi. These Karate classes were held at Itosu’s house at midnight to be secretive. This type of set up lasted for 20 years from 1880 to 1900. During this period, Itosu had another good but unruly student that student was Choki Mutobo or also known as Motobu the monkey because of his great agility. Motobu is often involved in fights because he wanted to try out as new techniques so he’d go down to the [00:06:03.27], the red light district with other people without the consent of his instructor Itosu. Furthermore the techniques were dangerous so we’d often injure the person he was attacking. And it’s because of these incidents that Itosu expelled Mutobu from the class and Mutobu later became a master himself founding his own school the Motobu Ryu. In 1902 Itosu made a big decision by allowing karate to be taught to the public and that changes his previous view which is just complete flip flop. He was granted permission to teach karate in public schools at Shori. At the age of 75 he began teaching in the prefectural Dai-ichi College the prefectural teachers training college. Around this time Itosu had developed the Pinyang kata series. It’s a series of five empty hand forms allegedly derived from older katas such as [00:06:56.00] but he revised them to be easier for newer students to learn. The Pinyang Kata serves as the introduction to learning more difficult katas such as [00:07:09.27] and the first once to learn these katas were junior high school students at Okinawa’s first Junior prefectural high school where he was part-time teacher. Itosu was also credited for breaking down the complex Na Hanchi kata into the three modern katas, [00:07:30.05] Shodan, nidan. Moreover Itosu also created the roha kata from which Funakoshi based his meikyo Kata. Itosu was known to be very peaceful person, he avoided fights and arguments as much as possible. And he died March 11, 1915 in Shuri, Okinawa, Japan.

We dug up some great stories exemplifying Itosu’s strength probably the thing he was most famed for. Gichin Funakoshi recalled Itosu to have extraordinary strength and physique. As per Funakoshi, Itosu could crush a green bamboo stock in his fist. He could also take heavy blows without even being hurt. Itosu used to arm wrestle his friends and no one ever one against him. Kinda seeing like an old-school Chuck Norris thing going on here right? Itosu stories maybe the precursor to Chuck Norris stories. There’s a story where an attacker punched Itosu in the back but Itosu Didn’t flinch instead Itosu grab the attackers wrist and as itosu’s grip was so strong the attacker couldn’t break away so he dragged the attacker to a crowded restaurant, made him kneel and wait while he ordered drinks and he only let go of the attackers wrist when the drinks arrived. When Itosu attended a bullfight with a friend, one of the bulls broke free in dashed to the frightened crowd everyone panicked and ran but Itosu stood his ground. When the bull approached him angrily, Itosu landed a powerful punch on the bull’s nose and took by the horns and wrestled it to the ground. I wonder if this was inspiration for Oyama’s bullfights. Part of Itosu’s training with Matsamura was using a makawara or striking post. Normally a wooden post is used but he once used a stone wall covered with leather sandal for him to hit instead. With just a few punches the stone behind the sandal broke through the wall, eventually to those who destroy the stone wall itself without having any injuries. Itosu once challenged a bully named Tomiyosi to a fair fight because the latter ridiculed the shuri style of fighting, however, instead of fighting fairly tomayosi’s gang members attacked him and some were even armed with clubs. The first attacker was supposed to land a powerful punch to Itosu, but Itosu managed to land a triple renzuki or multiple rapid punches first knocking the attacker unconscious immediately. The second and third attackers who were armed with clubs also failed to hit him, Itosu grabbed the first man’s arm while landing a side kick on the jaw of the second man, who is also immediately knocked out. The first man was kicked in the groin and rendered useless the fourth attacker was Tomayosi himself, he threw what would’ve been a lethal punch at Itosu’s head, but Itosu who was able to dodge it with a sidestep and broke Tomiyosi’s arm in the process using a Shuto or openhanded strike. When Itosu was 75 years old he was challenged by a judo champion half his age to an arranged fight. The judoka even promised to defeat Itosu “as gently as possible without doing any serious damage” as the match started the judoka grab the Itosu by the jacket to execute a throw, but Itosu was quicker he punched the judoka to the solar plexus using only his left hand which resulted in a quick victory. The Judoka collapsed in a heap and only managed to recover when Itosu gave him first aid. This guy sounds like someone that I might’ve been afraid to train with, right? Pretty hard-core.

And now in summary, I guess we have you Itosu’s 10 precepts of karate. [00:11:13.02] and if you’re familiar with Funakoshi’s 10 precepts of karate some of these might sound familiar. In October 1908 he toes who wrote the 10 precepts of karate to promote and explain the martial art. The translation is as follows: karate did not develop from Buddhism or Confucianism. In the past the Shorin ryu school and the Shuri Ryu school were brought to Okinawa from China. Both of these schools have strong points which I will now mention, before there are too many changes. One, karate is not merely practice for your own benefit. It can be used to protect one’s family or master, it is not intended to be used against the single assailant but instead is a way of avoiding a fight should one be confronted by villain, ruffian. Two the purpose of karate is to make the muscles and bones hard as rock and to use the hands and legs as spears. If children were to begin training in tang tei while in elementary school, then they will be well suited for military service. Remember the words attributed to the Duke of Wellington after he defeated Napoleon “the battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton” three, karate cannot be learned quickly. Like a slow moving bull, it eventually travels a thousand miles. If one trains diligently every day then in three or four years one will come to understand karate those who train in this fashion will discover karate. Four, in karate training of the hands and feet are important, so one must be thoroughly trained on the makawara. In order to do this drop your shoulders open your lungs take hold of your strength, grip the floor with your feet and sync your energy into your lower abdomen. Practice using each arm 1 to 200 times each day. Five, when one practices the stances of tang tei, be sure to keep your back straight lower your shoulders, put strength in your legs, stand firmly and drop your energy into your lower abdomen. Six, practice each of the techniques of karate repeatedly, the use of which is passed by word of mouth. Learn the explanations well and decide when and in what manner to apply them when needed. Enter, counter, release is the rule of releasing. [00:13:27.04] seven, you must decide if karate is for your health or to aid your duty. That is my favorite one. Eight, when you train do so as if on the battlefield, your eye should glare, shoulders drop and body hardened. You should always train with intensity and spirit and in this way you will naturally be ready. Nine, one must not over train this will cause you to lose the energy in your lower abdomen and will be harmful to your body. Your face and eyes will turn red, train wisely. And ten, in the past masters of karate have enjoyed long lives, karate aids in developing the bones and muscles it helps the digestion as well as the circulation . If karate should be introduced beginning in the elementary schools then we will produce many men each capable of defeating 10 assailants. I further believe that this can be done by having all students of the Okinawa teachers college practice karate. In this way after graduation they can teach at the elementary schools in which they been taught. I believe this will be a great benefit to our nation and our military. It is my hope you will seriously consider my suggestion. Anko Itosu, October 1908.

That’s the end of the script I have but just going off script a little bit, a lot of what he’s talking about here, is stuff that we still discuss today. Stuff that we debate today. Number seven you must decide if karate is for your health or to aid your duty. Is it personal development or is it self-defense? It can be both but he’s suggesting a focus on one or the other. He’s talking about slow and steady progress, he’s talking about training hard but not training too much. He’s talking about the benefits both physical and self-defense. There’s a lot of great stuff in there. So, what did you think? Let me know, hit me up, email jeremy@whistlekick.com.

30 Questions Tag

Thanks @finnishfun for tagging me :)

Rules: Answer 30 questions and tag 20 blogs you would like to get to know better.

Gender: Female

Star sign: Cancer

Height: 170cm

Time: 21:50

Birthday: 13th of July

Favourite bands: Too many…! So generally if someone were to check my music list, it’d look weird because I have almost every type. From some Swedish folk rock like Garmarna to something like symphonic metal. And let’s not forget about movie and game soundtracks!

Favourite solo artists: Hmm, checking my youtube: Lindsey Stirling (I love the violin!), Chisu and Suvi Teräsniska (the last two are from Finland)

Song stuck in my head: Too many to write, let’s say Lindsey Stirling’s Carol of the Bells, Roundtable Rival and Shatter Me ;)

Last movie watched: The newest Murder on the Orient Express

Last show watched: Lucifer s03e10

When did I create my blog: That’s actually a good question. It was… April 2013 (I had to check it, haha. All I remembered was that it was some time when I was studying at the university)

What do I post: Anything related to Nordic countries and their languages. And generally stuff I like (LoTR, Assassin’s Creed games, HP and so on). I created tumblr when I was finishing my paper about Sweden’s Prime Minister Olof Palme at the third year at the uni so you can also find some posts about him…

Last thing I googled: some Christmas recipes

Do you have other blogs: Nope.

Do you get asks: I’m not so active anymore, so the answer is no.

Why did you choose your url: Because I was sure no one else had it. And it’s my tumblr account so I used my nickname ;)

Following blogs: 95

Followers: 31

Favorite colors: Hmm, blue and dark green? Mostly because they suit me (red hair, quite pale skin - not every colour looks good on me :/).

How many blankets I sleep with: I usually use a quilt. But since I really like to be warm, it happened that I slept with a winter quilt and a blanket.

Dream job: Hard to say. Definitely a job where I could use my Swedish (and hopefully Finnish if I ever get at least half as fluent as in Swedish). My current job is very good, I have to say (surprisingly, because I was in doubt when I started it because I had to learn many technical data which I had known nothing of. But it turned out I’m quite good at it). So I can't say that my current job isn't my dream job since it certainly isn't boring, I can meet a lot of interesting people, I can use English and Swedish (and for fun a bit of Finnish) and I get to visit different places abroad.

Dream trip: everything that I can visit in: Finland, Norway, Sweden (especially northern parts), Iceland… oh, let’s not forget about Italy, too.

No tagging. If anyone would like to do it, feel free :)

[sommer-rain]

After work today, before i went out, i tried call the Homeopath since i realized pretty late on saturday evening that i did indeed forget one thing - the carrier bag with which i still had my still unopened juice package, some snacks and the day’s newspaper that i browsed through while dad drove me to the course.  Not like i couldn’t wait to get it back, not that important. just wanted to continue read the newspaper at least.

She didn’t answer so she would probably call up whenever she weren’t busy with a customer. After around 5-10 minutes i got a call. I just didn’t realize first which it really was that called me this time. Because it simply stood “Maria” and the homeopath has the same name as her too - just that when my homeopath’s calling it stands the lastname too, not just the first name. Why - because the both have the same first name as well as my sister got the same last name as her when getting married :p, and of course i didn’t expect my sister to call. 

Turns out she was the last customer at my homeopath today i had no idea that she was here around and not in K-stad.  -Before it really dawned on me i just went straight to point aking if my bag as found and she said she called if i wanted to come with her to Ekosoppi (obvious finnicisation of swedish “Ekoshoppen” (<The> Organic Shop) before she drive back home, plus also apparently already being aware about my left bag saying she brings it along. AND the towels i too happened to forget when i packed (and i even doublechecked if i had missed something) before going back home from her two weeks ago that she said i could take if i wanted becauser she had so many of them i could choose which ones and how many i wanted to have. (But i were only concentrating then on the things i had bought and had with me from my apartment(, sleeping over two nights).

I needed anyway to the shop so i were all happy! She picked me up some time a bit after i’d come home. I would only check if they had got more of my favorite hummus chips now when it was monday. Unfortunatly they hadfn’t yet and they hadn’t got more of it since in the end of mars i believe she said, because so many have had bought it up (not just from this shop)lately that it’s been out of storage for some. However she said they can send me a text when they’ve got it. :) -Of course i couldn’t resist bying a few other stuff anyway. they seemed to have some new stuff i don´t perhaps nocited on first may (i think it was) or it wasn’t in the shop yet. Then we were both so hungry that we went to eat dinner at the indian restaurant. We couldn’t really resist.  -She ordered the Meat Byrieani (i can’t remeber how it’s spelled now) and i took- i can’t remember the name of it either now, but it was another meal than i had before It was really good, and i toom it too because apparently they were out of fish for the moment so i took another with beef instead.  -I took some fried chicken in spicy bean-flour starter, that i‘ll take in the future too.  The main course was great too, with a mild sweet creamy sause with cardamon. And of course paneer-naan bread (cheesefilled naan-bread) and she with garlic. We both took Chae tea too. 

While there she started to feel nausea and maybe even got fever back that she told me she’s been sick the past week :|. Also kinda “food drunk” because she couldn’t eat it all up of the main course tho she were hungry as a wolf. But i told her, that meal i recommended would be so filling - and bigger than it looked like that not even my dad can eat it all up at times when he’s very hungry too. -And that it should be hot spiced too, as she want it. But because she wasn’t all well she didn’t feel much taste, tho it was the opposite with the chae tea, that seemed to her been a bit too sweet instead. But that’s how it is if you’re sick. The tastes isn’t as they otherwise are if sick. She also started to quite freeze before we left still sitting at the table talking. Had her neck feel strained too - which sometimes can be so painful it makes you feel like yiu’re gouing sick and almost (if not actually triggered) throwing up.. I have such had pain in my neck a bit now and then and it’s god awful) so she got some undeluted --- in a tiny bottle of oil i often bring with me for cases like this that you really need to get something quick-acting for very strained muscles, like when you’re at work or somewhere else when you rather not bring oil or liniment that can take space and weight in the purse/handbag.

I got my stuff and she drove home to her.

Actually, she like the finnish Chisu song (solo) artist a whole lot and e listened to Chisu while driving to and from the city. Also like the finnish solo artist “Elokuu” about as much Chisu. Chisu have really good songs and music! -Haven’t heard to many songs by her, just a few on radio before.

Okay, i totally forgot about goung in to “Indiska” (a shop with indian style/theme stuff. And it’s all so pretty we just wants to move in there! X)  Oh, and a found some summerdresses and at least one shirt there. I don’t usually find so many clothes to try there. And it wasn’t cheap. I who would just buy one thing and save money until at least next week.. and there all that “saving my money” went! plus the restaurant! :/
