Sakura Sakura

Good... afternoon already.

I was going to go out in the morning though...

Anyway, yesterday was the April first.

Yesterday morning I opened my email and

I saw amazing news.

I have received an amazing offer and I was so, so excited.

I was congratulating myself for a few hours and...

Realized it was April first.

*Pulls off a very awkward expression that emoji can't even express*

I am actually very nervous to think if it could be actually an April Fool prank.

Please, do not be.

Anyway!

It was supposed to be raining today so I decided to check out the sakura in Yoyogi park yesterday.

When the rain comes, Sakura will go.

It is the most fragile flower yet unimaginably powerful.

No wonder sakura is everyone's favorite flower.

In the morning when nobody is still out there in a festival mood.

Are they measuring the square? Got me a little curious.

I have always been and will always be a rose person
since I fell in love with the thorns roses let surrounding themselves.

But I thoroughly understand sakura fans.

I feel blessed from my brain to the skin when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom

and the mortality mesmerizes me whenever I see them up there.

I really hope to still be traveling around chasing these little beauties everywhere in Japan.

These things always fascinate me,

massive blue sheets all over the park,

enormous rubbish bags made out of blue sheet - ruining the scenery.

They are not necessarily the most beautiful things

but it's interesting how those convenient things adapted in the culture.

I adore the contrast between early morning and mid day on a day like this.

The change is drastic and I just wonder where those people come from.

I am a morning person so I am only active in the morning when not many people are out yet,

it obviously feels great, but I enjoy watching this too.

Or night, I am really really keen on photographing or videographing at night.

Anyway.

Hope the April Fool prank (or not) will turn down the offer within today...

Thanks for reading my article! I will come back soon ♡

2016

Happy New Year!

Welcome 2016♡

No matter how hard the time could get,

in the end of the day, I always get to experience and feel someone's kindness.

It always makes everything I go through a day worth it.

I have been feeling this over the past number of years.

Hello!

I was back home for the New Years.

I wouldn't make this simply my diary of New Years,

I would rather want to track the color of the sky and water I have seen over the 2 days.

Hello a stretching man!

I liked his silhouette though, personally.

He might have felt really awkward having someone taking photos of him stretching for...

good 20 minutes.

First sunset of the year♡

I fell deep in love♡

Super early in the morning.

It was simply amazing.

It's like the time everything starts moving, getting back to a life.

It is the time of dawn when the sky is too bright for the stars to shine but too dark for the moon not to glow.

2nd of January 2016,

it was so warm and comfortable standing on the mountain.

The sunrise was a sheer grace and it did promise me a soft, tender year full of love and warmth.

And that got me totally determined,

to... this year, I will turn off my phone and chuck it in the drawer on the weekends.

It is written as a definition of "Day off" in the dictionary too.

I don't feel like anything has ended and started all over.

I would say... R.I.P. 2015, I needed you once, but I left you to move on.

2016 is like a stable boyfriend to me ( I know nothing about it yes ).

But I got this feeling that it will be flowing smoothly through the history

after having the most dramatic year - 2015... well it's just my feeling, though.

What a warm beginning of the year.

I might write "throw back to new years day" diary sometime later this year.

But for now, happy new year and I wish all of your 2016 be full of love and blessings.

Love, so much love.
