Christmas Spectacular at Royal Albert Hall ♪♪

I went to Royal Albert Hall to see(?) Christmas Spectacular.


It was the concert with music, lasers, lights, fireworks, opera, ballet & dance. Plus full of famous songs.


It was very beautiful! Everything was beautiful!


Setting beautiful, songs beautiful, beautiful performance, all the people on the stage were beautiful...


Especially 4 male dancers were all very handsome! They did not look like human beings. Too perfect! Too beautiful!  hahaha ☺

I was so moved! I really feel happy when I am surrounded by beautiful things!



Very enjoyable concert!!!

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (and my secret dream) ♪♪

We went to the cinema today.



The movie we saw was Rogue One (at our favourite cinema place Olympic Studios!)



This place was the music studio before. The Beatles used Abbey Road Studio and all the other musicians recoded their music at this Olympic Studios!

This movie, all for my husband!



He really enjoyed it. (Nice to hear that!!!)



Anyway I enjoyed having nice toffee popcorn there! 



>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>



By the way, my dream is to go to Raffles Paris (Le Royal Monceau) to see the movie.



They have popcorn by Pierre Hermé!!!  😍😍😍



Hoping my dream will come true!!!  🎅🎅🎅

London Christmas Decorations (& A Huge Table for Me!) ♪♪

Christmas is coming very soon.



London is nicely decorated everywhere. Festive season now!

Today I went to Café Royal Hotel to get a nice cake for our desert after dinner at home.

After getting a cake, I decided to have a take-away coffee there.



A staff lady of Café Royal Hotel suggested to have coffee at the table because I had many bags in my hands. And I agreed.



Then, she put a 'reserved' sign on a huge table! In café it was very busy but I could relax alone completely!!! I had 5 chairs for myself! 😁

Inside of café was also nicely decorated!  　↓↓

Anyway I felt like a Princess today! 😉😍

Sunday Lunch at Celeste Lanesborough ♪♪

We went to Celeste for Sunday lunch.


The Lanesborough hotel was in the Christmas mood.

The restaurant was not such Christmassy. Just like usual. It means very classy!

Amuse bouche was very interesting. It was called fish & chips by the chef. Fish & chips in completely French style!

Risotto with squid was excellent!

As usual we really enjoyed it!


At this moment, my favourite French restaurants are Alain Ducasse, Helene Darroze, Gordon Ramsay and this Celeste!


In London there are so many nice restaurants. It is very difficult to pick 1 restaurant for special occasions such as birthday/Valentines day/anniversary, because we have so many choices!


Feel very lucky!!!

Preparing for Christmas (and a secret present for me!) 🎄🎄

Christmas is coming soon.


I am preparing for it little by little.


Already placed my order of turkey!!! 🍽


I went to Harrods to get Christmas pudding & mince pies. My husband likes German stollen, so I got a genuine one at the German bakery!

I also got a small present 'for me'!!!  😁　↑↑



Actually 2 items inside!!!   😜    Chanel lady wrapped them nicely!!!　　 ↓↓

My husband has not seen these yet. I will open these on Christmas day, I guess he will be like
😱 😱 😱!!!



😇 😇 😇

My New Small Boyfriend ??

I went to my tennis club's Christmas party today.


Before the party, I played Pro-Am. It was very enjoyable. The only problem was that because my hair got wet in shower afterwards, my hair looked very messy during the party... 😅


After Christmas party, one small boy talked to me. I have not seen him before. He looked around 5 or 6 years old.


Boy: I would like to play a game of tennis with you...


So cute!!! 😍


Invitation from my small boyfriend to play tennis!!!


See you on the tennis court next time! 😉

Richard Gasquet & Slice Day! 🎾 💪

Richard Gasquet is training in Barcelona.


He is working hard.


Richard, you always inspire me.



>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>



Today I played on indoor hard court.

Today's hitting partner used a lot of slice.

I quite like such rallies including many slice shots. I like that tempo. I like rhythmical tennis!


Soft, hard, slow, fast, short, long, flat, topspin, slice... I like all the mixture!


Tennis is just like music!


It is very enjoyable when I feel rhythms in my tennis!!!


Richard, do you agree?

ATP World Tour Finals 2016 without Richard Gasquet -Selfie with Marin Cilic-

I went to O2 in order to follow the way to unforgettable memories with Richard Gasquet.

Last year he was practicing there everyday.


No Richard Gasquet this year. It is hard for me...



>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>



Today I saw Cilic.


He was practicing on the same court as Richard last year.

I even took a selfie with Cilic. 😊


The good thing was, in that selfie, my face did not look huge. When I took a selfie with Richard Gasquet, my face size looked two times bigger than Richard's face!!! I was shocked!!! 😱😰


Because my face size in selfie with Cilic was not bad, I did not feel so sad on the way back!!! hahaha 😂

Nice Italian Restaurant in Richmond -Al Boccon Di Vino- ♪♪

We went to Al Boccon in Richmond.

Started with spumante!

Today's wine!  ↑↑


I love both Italian food & wine!!! 😍😍😍

Sorry, as usual, I forgot to take many photos... Also, as you can see, sometimes, I already started eating before taking photos... We had more than 10 dishes!


This restaurant is still my favourite. Feel like visiting our Italian friends. Very friendly atmosphere.


Please note booking essential! Allow 3-4 hours to enjoy all!


Highly recommended!!!

Shopping Alone at Harrods ♪♪

I went to Harrods for shopping.

Is this a Christmas tree??

Today I got chocolates & macaroons at the Pierre Marcolini in Harrods!

My favourite is always 'rose' macaroon. 😍😍😍

I like their truffles. They have 3 different tastes. I asked the lady to mix up all the different truffles in 2 boxes. It is the best way!!!


We will give 1 box to our friend. Hoping he will like it!

Richard Gasquet Out -Paris Bercy Tennis- 😢

Today Richard Gasquet had lost...


The problem was the 1st set. To avoid Sock's fast angled forehand shots, Richard returned all to Sock's backhand side. As a result, it became very passive for Richard. It was not like Richard's tennis. Richard started playing his own tennis from the 2nd set. Actually he was playing well in the 2nd & 3rd sets. But, unfortunately it was too late...


His season in 2016 had finished...


Richard, I will miss you so much for a while... (until you will be on TV during Australian Open...)




I actually saw Richard in July. I cannot believe that it was only 3-4 months ago. Seems like a long time ago! Until next June, July time, it will be a very long wait for me...

Richard, my sunshine, please have a nice holiday & good practice during your off season.


Always supporting you!!!  😘😘😘

Richard Gasquet -Victory in European Open- 🎾🎉🎊💪

My favourite Richard Gasquet won European Open!!!

This photo is from their official site. Thank you for letting me use it.

His opponent was Diego Schwartzman. Schwartzman is younger than Richard. He was playing in a trendy style with very masculine vitality. He pushed (almost forced) Richard to play very very aggressive!


Nice to see aggressive Richard! As a result, Richard could win with better consistency and experience.  💪💪💪


Congratulations, Richard!!!  ♥♥♥


Love to see your sunshine smile!  😍😍😍

Sunday Lunch at Celeste Lanesborough ♪♪

We went to Celeste for Sunday lunch.

My first course was French onion soup.


It was a surprise dish!!!


This was placed in front of me!!! 　 ↓↓

The serving staff removed the top first.


Then poured soup into this onion.  ↓↓

At last he removed this onion. Yes, now, looks like onion soup!!!  ↓↓


I had it with cheese crisps instead of crouton.

Desert was another surprise! White sticks were made of meringue! 　↓↓

The third surprise was Petit Four!  　↓↓


One chocolate ball was placed in front of us. Serving staff cracked the top of the chocolate. Our Petit Four came out!

Inside of this chocolate ball, I found a very tiny small chocolate with Lanesborough mark!  ↓↓


Like a small charm in 'galette des rois'!!!

Finished with fresh mint tea!

I really enjoyed my relaxing lazy Sunday!!!
