Sakura, 桜、さくら

Cherry almost bloom.

Some are still breaking buds,
Some are in full blossom.

Every Sakura trees are watching us and
they they make us happier.

Feel the Spring

Japanese saying, "Summer heat or winter cold doesn't last after the equinox".
Yeah, it's very fine day and warm sunshine :)

It's natinal holiday too ( my partner is on duty though...).
Dinner tonight was "Tenpura" of wild plants and grasses in the spring for my partner.
They were so tasty and we enjoy the spring from thier aroma :)

I hope my special dish make him happy !

Singing in the Bed

Usually, I prepare breakfast for us two on every saturday and sunday.
But last sunday.... Follows are our holiday story which my partner told me last night...

Last sunday, my partner woke up earlier than me (He was on and I was off duty).
He found I was still sleeping in the bed and he had just woke me up...
THEN HE HEARD.

"sorry,sorry,sorry....."

I was singing Madonna's "SORRY" in my sleep...!?
So, he stopped awaking me.

As a result, he missed his sunday breakfast.
And I told him "SORRY" last night again :P

Happiness in Heaven ?

I have some movies that make me weeping.
MARCELINO PAN Y VINO is one of those movies.
I first met this movie when I was 20's.

I know I am not so emotinal, rather reasonable person.
But why I cry whenever I watch this movie ?
... no... I confess, I cried just hearing the melody of the guiter playing in this movie today...
I can't explain what is this feeling.
Not sorrow, Not Saddness.... why I cry ?

I can't find out the reason of my tear yet...

starting

Spring is another starting season for Japanese.
The young finish school and start their new life to next stage.
Young people sometimes weep in their graduation ceremony.
Their beautiful eyedrops come from the sorrow of parting ?
That's yes but I guess one more reason.
They may feel "Hopes and Fears" to their new life which has just begun.

Boys and Girls, remember, Parting means New Encounter.
Do not afraid. Do not be in sorrow.

The Cherry blossom always watches your new starting. Look, it's ready to bloom for you.

Ready to Bloom

三寒四温(sankan-sion)

"3 cold days and 4 warm days" means unstable climate in this season, temperture changes up and down every day.

Yesterday, it's very sunny and warm, "Wow, I don't need wearing my heavy coat today !"
And today, it's so cold that I have to put on my coat again...

But I feel it's getting warmer surely toward the spring.
I'm very looking forward to see cherry blossom soon again :)


By the way.... do you know it's "Why Today!?" today ?

Hug after quarrel

I am obsessed with self-hatred always after quarrel with my partner.

We need more tolerance to each others.

Hurting someone means Hurting myself.

"Gomen-nasai..."

"Treasure" of my life.

when I was 39.
I was in a "so-called-middle-age-blue".

Bellow is a excerption from my dairy on http://www.geocities.com/masa-n/index2.htm.

"My 40's just started on Dec 8th. The turning point of my life?I think my life has been stable and happy. But why I feel lack of something? What I'm looking for? I hear the voice from inside wisper "Is this what you really want to do? Change your life! It's your life, not for anyone else."My 40's just started. Is it a turning point?"

Now, I'm already 46.
Nothing changed, nothing happened since I wrote that diary.
But in my early 40's, I could find my very best treasure of my life.
I will take good care of it till I die.

I promise.

This is my first message to you.
