たまに
泣かないと

アア～すっきりした。

空、風、空気、心
生きておられる

「すべて分ってるよ～」
囁いてくれた

私の天のお父さん
ありがとう。

my first experience to

Kabuki

it was not in the real indoor Kabuki hall
but outdoor!!!
the effect was just AMAZING!!!


the Kabuki performance i went was played by
the top Kabuki actor (Kanzaburo NAKAMURA) and his 2 sons
i was fortunate to see the live performance of one of his famous acts 連獅子(renjishi)

before...i had absolutely no interest in kabuki
after... gosh!! i want to see more!! hehe!!
next goal: see kabuki in THE kabuki hall in Tokyo!


my jap granny went with me :)
why were we in raincoats? HAHA!!
it was about to rain...(thanks God it didn't)
but the raincoat saved our life
because it was so windy!! ><

but hope that next time when i go see kabuki
i can be in a beautiful kimono...hehe!

me...and my dogs

can someone get me a real dog?

thanks for the cute front door!
whoever the house belongs to~ ^_^

jumps~

don't ask me why
but i LOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVE jumping for pictures
so much fun!!
sometimes it really challenges your patience and persistency
but the sense of satisfaction
having the photo RIGHT (where everyone is in the air at the same time)

here are just some...i have more...hehehe..yes..lots more~

me, B, Mi jumping on the field where Sakurai san(vocal of Mr. Children) just shot a goal..

my first conference with B

we were bored at night...hahaha!!

thanks B for jumping with me!!
i miss you!!

this was just taken by my cousin ak last week with my dear friend yoshiko sama~

hehe...i love it!

the jumps will continue...

==========================

btw, i couldn't help but went back to the bookstore yesterday after work

and finished my last 3 chapters of 'Interpretor of Maladies'

definitely a good read!!

then i started 'The Great Gatsby' by F. Scott Fitzgerald

i think i have to go back to the bookstore again....SOON~

ahhhhhhh...why are English books so expensive in japan?!? ><

In Japan, autumn is the season for...

1) sports (スポーツの秋）　

2) arts/culture（芸術の秋）　

3) food/appetite（食欲の秋）　

4) reading（読書の秋）

since i really want to work on my reading habit

i took the chance and started to read...

here is what i have been reading

- 'Interpreter of Maladies' Jhumpa Lahiri

This is composed by short stories. I love it! I wanted to read a little before deciding to buy or not...but then i just couldn't stop!! i need to go back to the bookstore..i have 3 more chapters left...haha! i am so cheap!! i know...

-'お菓子手帖' by 長野　まゆみ　('notebook of sweets' by Mayumi Nagano)

It's basically an autobiography of the author expressed through the history of sweets she have had. It's fun to read~ I love all the little details she included...the wrapping, the colour, the smell...etc.

-'Loulette' by Claire Clement (ルウとおじいちゃん）

I love reading children literature. I just started the 1st chapter and it's very sweet already.

I am reading it in japanese though...

kakukaku shikajika

he is my new addiction~

i don't really care about the car
but i am in LOVE with 'Kaukaku Shikajika' (his name)
i love him especially when he does the twisting dance

look up

you can see the beautiful autumn sky~
the blue
the white
the yellow
the green

the harmony is just perfect~

this is the path i go for my daily walk~

is amazing, isn't it?
