Busy nights



The past hours of the week has been purely a thing of the mind. Was in the zone of utter oblivion, I cannot think of anything less ordinary. Still a lot of things to decipher from the graphs, behavior of conjugate displacements I haven't found, I wish I can clearly articulate all these moments in technical innuendos.

Listening to Kissing the Lipless by The Shins for a thousand times I can carve the song in my skin.

The holidays

What I like about the past winter break was how my day to day events were ran by impulse. There were a few days when I was simply over wrought by the things I like doing at the moment. You bet I was always in the zone.

For instance, I never resisted the lure of a simple walk. Thoughtless, zero-worry walk around the neighborhood. The only trouble I can think of was if my ipod will pick up my secret favorite songs when I turn on the shuffle. I took photos, of course, as random as the feelings of my moment.





Well, the other thing I like about the past winter break was the ridiculous, guiltless hours I spent snuggled inside my apartment, and thinking about 1960s, recording my funny guitar cover of a Black-eyed Peas song ten awful times, reducing my data points into a few hundreds from a few thousands, planning my future and ex-foliating my winter-dried face.






Most of all, those were the last days of the year, the rare ones, when I wasn't the usual bated breath and never really needed anyone for my little joys. The natural highs, I should say.

Convent-bred boy



When I was ten, I had 20 fingers.
It took awhile to cut them, but now I want to grow them back.


J.J.T, Johannes, Frédéric, Ludwig... wherever you are guys, let's have a smorgasbord one of these cold winter nights. Now, I miss my piano face.

Sunshine




I notice that I've been clamoring a lot for sunshine these days. Well, who doesn't, right?

Like today, it snowed again in Tokyo, and was it like a week ago when I thought spring was just around the corner?

Some highway photos when I went to Chiba some weeks ago.






I was hooked to this song by Matt Costa like 3 years ago, and now my head sings it indefinitely.

Thanks everyone for your nice comments. I'll pick them up when I ain't as busy as I am right now. ^^

First and only sunny day of the week



So what more can you expect but lotsa kids outside, rolling on grasses and having the long awaited fun under the sun.

Feb 10 Ear Candy: Kings of Leon



Revelry by Kings of Leon

This whole month of February, ever since they won the Grammy's last month, I've been hooked to Kings of Leon. I think that their album, "Only by the night" is one of the best things that ever happened to rock music these recent years.

It's the first rock album that I can listen to the whole selection without feeling nauseated. ^^

The picture above is special. The other day, it snowed again in Tokyo at 6AM. Someone called me to tell me about the beautiful crystals parading the early morning skies. I was dreaming of revelry, really.

Snow!

Rare snowy Tokyo night.





February now. What a way to start the month of the hearts.

Consolations

If there was any consolation these past days, it's the realization of how much I love my family! Of course, what happened was a bit too much to make me realize things. But then again, there are just some things you have to live with as they come along and to be able to learn love is actually the most that you can do.

So I guess I'm pretty fine now, though at some hours of the day I can't help not remembering memories.

I'm posting photos from last summer, from a random quick out-of-town trip in Tokyo's peripheries. These past days were just terribly cold that I miss summer more than ever. I also miss train rides, those times when the landscapes just blur outside the window like a roll of an unedited film.

Oh how I wish winter is more compassionate and less awful, especially for a boy like me who loves to drive around with a bike.


I take this chance to say my appreciation to everyone who left those notes in my previous post to cheer me up! You, guys, are my warmth this winter. Sorry for being depressing or depressive. I'll have more sunshine soon. Bliss.

96 winters in a summery life



Yesterday, my grandmother passed away. I received the news in an empty park. How unfair and how unruly that cold tears are sent through a wireless phone call. Story of my life.

Thanks everyone for your very very nice comments. I'm reading them, and they are my sources of joy these days. I'll respond to all of them as soon as I finish my homeworks, and reel over this poignant heartache.

Last Friday's dinner

Sharing some photos from our little dinner over at Jay's house the other week.



Someone said that day was the coldest this winter in Tokyo so far . Deciding on nabe was certainly a good pick. Had fun! ^^

Out-takes, Week 03



These past two nights were well spent with good friends, cooking and eating delicious dinners. Funny how appetite makes people slow down a bit and take things lightly. Nothing beats the company of good food and laughters, right?

January, so far, has been like no other. Half way of the month, and everything is falling to the right places as always. I wish for this to continue as I brave the colder days of the winter ahead.

Anyway, I'm posting some out-takes I took for week 03 of my other blog. The theme for this week was "passersby". Have fun everyone!



By the way, I met a cute girl today. haha...^^

Rainy night



Today, it was raining so lightly all over Tokyo the whole day. Days like this one, you just want to snuggle under the sheets and pretend your world is a four-cornered space.

Or, you can have coffee with a good friend, walk, smoke, talk and eat sushi!

My mouth and my stomach and I had fun today with revolving sushi plates (my first!). I will post the photos next time. Meanwhile, I enjoyed Tokyo in its comfortable darkness. I hope you do, too.

Random photos of the things I saw on the way to the sushi shop and on my way back home.



Wet pavements remind me of Dashboard Confessional's Hands Down.
Memories!, memories!, memories!

Cold day



Yesterday, I went to Shibaura Institute of Technology in Toyosu, and took some math test and got paid and I was happy! And did a little shopping at Shibuya.
This Sunday was very cold, by the way. Now I terribly, terribly miss summer.

I'd take this chance to thank pomme, Hello Sandwich, and Make it Easy for noticing my little stuffs. You guys, made me feel warm this cold day. ありがとうございました!
