An Empty Train on the Kakogawa Line

My train back home bound for Yakujin. Looks like this one is running just for me.

Kobe Municipal Fruit & Flower Park

Yesterday was a day off, so I went to Kobe Sanda Premium Outlets with my mom for shopping.

Before that, we stopped by Kobe Municipal Fruit & Flower Park to take some pictures.

The hydrangeas were full in bloom and they were so pretty!

Here are some photos I took and I hope you enjoy them!

Gift for Father's Day!

Last Sunday (16th June) was Father's day. Check out what I gave to my dad:

"Beer Hour" from Takara Tomy - A handy server for canned beer!

Rose Garden @ Suma Rikyu Park

I went to Suma rikyu Park 須磨離宮公園 the other day. I've been living quite near from here for almost 20 years, but I didn't even know there's such a huge and nice rose garden which is open to the public every year.

It was such a warm & sunny day, perfect weather for taking photos!

Kaga Onsen

Yes, It's officially June, which means the season I hate the most in a year is coming soon. 

Gloomy rainy season --> and then, hot& humid summer. Argh!

 I went to Kaga Onsen(加賀温泉) in Ishikawa Pref. with my parents on the 17th - 18th May. 

Here are some photos from the trip(I know there're too many photos but hope you enjoy them); 

The view of Lake Biwa from the Super Express "THUNDERBIRD" on the way to Kaga Onsen Sta.

Blossom Viewing @ Shukugawa Park, Nishinomiya

I went to Shukugawa Park with my mom and sister 3 days ago, for blossom viewing for the first time this year.

My adventure in 2012!

I just cleaned up the loads of photos on my laptop which are taken in 2012, and I made a short video clip with iMovie - Check it out!

Created with iMovie
Background music : Coldplay - Life in Technicolor

I hope this year I can visit more places than I did last year! :)

Japan pop idol shaves her head in penance after her scandal

Japan AKB48 pop idol Minami Minegishi shaves head in penance for spending night with man - news.com.au

Well, from the beginning, I was not a fan of girl pop groups like AKB48 at all, but this recent "scandal" just makes me hate them more, or is even starting to annoy me(Sorry for the fans!).
Pop idols are not allowed to have a relationship with someone, just because it breaks the fans' ”fantasies of themselves with them” ...? ― This is just ridiculous. It's true that she is one of the most popular idols in Japan. But, she is also a woman who should be entitled to make her own choice and live her own life.Although this big controversy might be successful for their agency's marketing strategy, I think it's too stupid and this punishment goes way too far.

OMG IT'S SNOWING!

I woke up this morning and I looked outside my window and I was like - WOW!

Everything was covered in snow, which rarely happens in my area.
I tried to go outside and make a little snowman or something, but I gave up, 'cause it was just too freaking cold!lol

There was a little cute (and a bit dingy) snowman at the entrance of my neighbor's house.

I know it looks a bit weird that there is no snow left on the ground, but still it's very cool, isn't it?
