...and May it is

say...June is around the corner!!

gosh~ where did May go?

May has been amazingly to me so far

-road trip down to Mt. Fuji

-completion of my researh grant application (finger crossed)

-a brief visit to Tokyo

-Mother's day

-girls night (cheese fondue home party is THE best)

-jogging along the river, around the lake

-sprawling...cartwheeling...on the grass under the sun

-warmth, sunshine, blue sky

-joy, laugthers

-desserts, cakes, crepes, sweets

-love, hugs, phonecalls, skype

"if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us" 1 John 4:12

thank you for your love 

a bit of fun

sitting under the full blossom sakura is a little boring?

let's add a bit of fun!!

kids surely know how to enjoy the sakura to the fullness

kids' laugthers

blue sky

warmth

full bloomed sakura

what can i ask for more

coming soon

 

can you see the pink?

can you smell the pink?

can you hear the pink?

can you feel the pink?

sakura is around the corner!!

i am not a big fan of pink
but i can't resist the full blossom of sakura in spring

unsettled self

i am so unsettled about myself
sometimes it's annoying
i want to be free from thoughts like:
-what others think about me
-how others see me
-i wish to be like someone else
-i am not good enough

i am a happy person in general

i mean...i am happy while i am writing this

it's just annoying
i am annoyed by myself

i don't hate myself
but i guess i don't like myself enough
does that make sense?

anyways
i don't know where i am going with this post
i am just excited my weekend will be starting in 30 mins
and
according to the weather forecast
it will be sunny

this is exactly what the world needs now

i forgot how much i used to and still love this song

there are just so many versions to it

i wish coldplay i can hear the full version by Coldplay

about the quake...

there are so much going on that i can't wrap my thoughts around it

earthquake...tsunami...
they didn't affect my area at all
now with the radiation...
ppl are telling me to leave
which makes me even more anxious

is japan really ok?
what's going to happen?
honestly
i don't think anyone has an answer

one thing for sure:
"The LORD sits enthroned over the flood;
the LORD is enthroned as King forever.
The LORD gives strength to his people;
the LORD blesses his people with peace."
Psalm 29:10-11

all is to say
i am safe
don't worry

what do i want to most now?

a nice cup of hot chocolate/ soy chai latte
and a nice warm hug

if i can only pick one out of the 2
i want the hug

i really hate
being sick and living alone
the two just don't work well together
you feel extra vulnerable and lonely
