Thank you very much for all these great weekend releases!! You know we really, reaally, reaaally appreciate you guys, don't you?
Anyway...
The more I read about "bento" in manga, the more I'm getting impressed with the ladies who made them for themselves or their loved ones. 
Just imagine getting up real early in the morning to spend time and energy in producing a carefully prepared lunch box. 
What dedication!
Can I do it, too? 
1) Um... well... I already have a HARD time getting up in the morning, so forget about getting up more earlier! Ugh...
2) Then, I'll need an hour or more to beautify myself for the day. You know, this IS really for the benefits of those people that surround me. After all, who doesn't want to feast his/her eyes on beautiful things, eh?
3) And, for me, no matter how beautifully prepared the bento is, I would still prefer warm/hot food. Cold food for lunch just doesn't suit me, sorry!
How about making one for my boyfriend? 
<== *handsome, no?*
Well... I DID ask him the other day about it. This was his reply, "I appreciate the loving thought, but I still prefer hot food, dear." 
See? See?? So there's no need for me to slave over the hot stove after all! 
*mumbling to myself*
Whew... for a minute there, I thought I have to learn how to cook... 
*daintily wiping sweat off my pretty face*
i'd love to be eating from a bento box right now (x
