march.. it is said that this is a very
"lonely" or
"gloomy" season in japan. season's changing, and so are the people around. old ones leaving, and new ones coming. hence, the farewell parties that u feel u have no time to attend them all, or maybe no more tears to drop. but this year, thanks to the global warming, these parties are celebrated in a cold weather. the top of mount sakurajima still has dusts of snow, cherry blossoms are not only un-bloom, but the buds are nowhere to be seen! so much for spring, huh? gimme the real spring please!!
anyways, yesterday was one of my japanese fren's farewell. she's going to canada next week to study english for a year. may i say, she really worked her ass off to save her salary all these 5 years (i think) n finally has enuff money to study abroad. we r so proud of her. as usual, the kusa-no-hana-family were there to give her one last goodbye.
yasue and sayuri came wearing a kimono esp. for Mai. n me, looking like a pregnant lady.
cheh.
hisano, sawane n ken at the back.
the ladies of the house. teehee.
some of the kusa-no-hana family. n Mai is the one wearing a purple scarf.
one of the usuals when coming to kusa no hana -- latin dancing!
and.. as always.. partner in crime, melissa :p
went back at 2 coz it was damn cold n i had a bad flu! anyway, to Mai,
ganbatte ne!!
