Pu-Aru-Cha
Weekly News
May 10, 2002
Since I have stopped smoking, I have gained over 10 kilograms. And, when I
attempt to stand after sitting for some time, I make the strangest noises.
Well, I was advised to try "pu-aru-cha." A friend of mine said that his sister
lost weight by using the product. She paid 6,800 yen for 90 packets. After
all, I was lucky to be able to find the tea at Jusco. I paid only 395 yen for
25 packets, but I cannot be sure that it is the same thing.

Hi Howard,
How have you been?
On my side, the Golden Week wasn't really "Golden," because of a bad
weather.
Answer:
Hello. It's been nice. I think I'm getting over something with my tongue. My
tongue was red in spots recently. I think it's because I sleep with my mouth
open. Or, I breath with my mouth open and pollen gets on my tongue. Or, it
could be because I drink a lot of hot coffee. Anyway, I could be getting over
it. But, just to be sure, I thought I'd mention it here to see if you had any
ideas. I have been gargling with mouthwash.
1. How much has Howard gained since he has stopped smoking?
Howard gained more than 10 kilograms, since he stopped smoking.
CORRECT. Probably, the above comma is not needed.
Wow, that's a lot!
2. Did Howard's sister lose a lot of weight by using "pu-aru-cha?"
No, I don't even think Howard has a sister.
CORRECT.
Note: I don't have a sister. But, I would have liked to have had one. They
say that men with sisters grow up with a certain confidence. I had only my
brother, so I am still shy around women.
Actually, it was the sister of Howard's friend who lost weight by "pu-aru-cha."
CORRECT.
By the way, "pu-aru-cha" is a word from Chinese, but your expression looks more
like a Japanese Roma-ji. (roman letters)
CORRECT.
I think there must be (a) more appropriate expression in English, because every
Chinese character can be converted into English in a systematic way.
3. Do you know of any sure-fire way to lose weight?
Jog, maybe.
Note: That's what I need! I also need to eat less after 5:00 pm.
They say that one can eat as much as one wants as long as one doesn't eat
anything after early evening.
