A Letter From My First Love

Hi, Megumi. How are you?

Do you still believe blood types do matter on personality? I long for you seriously believing people with type B blood have their own pace.

It's already been 9 years since the day you said "I like you so much, but will break up because I'm feeling so lonely", with crying and stopped keeping in touch. Time passes quickly.

By the way, I didn't have any reason to write this note. I just met a dog that had similar name as youres, and it reminded me about you. So I felt like writing something whatever I thought by chance, lol.

When I think about the time we were going out now, I have a set picture that I had though time since you were mad at me a lot. Of course when I was hanging out with girls, but also even with guys, you were complaining about it somehow. I can't forget when you coldly stated, "you take priority over friends more than gf". I wonder if you got some more space in your mind now.

Well, I was your first bf. So that's why you were putting on an act so much. I'm sure that you couldn't say things like "hey, let me touch your Adam's apple", in the beginning. Maybe you are touching without asking now.

When we just started going out, you pressed me for a promise not to break up no matter what. I remember that I was saying "yes, I promise" or something, but had something tough inside at that time. I'm sorry that I broke the promise.

The really good thing that I got from our relationship is, I got to understand some feelings of people who think negatively. Plus, my tolerance got increased a bit. Thank you about it.

Anyway, although I wrote a lot of stuffs, I really liked you. Hope that you will be as you are. But want you to stop bringing a lot of syrup from drink bars anymore. Be happy. See you again.

P.S. I don't know why, but you smelled like an old lady in those days.

So...this is the letter from my first love. Nah, it is just a love analyzing game that is popular among young people on mixi (it is like face book). You have to answer to some questions about thought of your love, and the website makes a letter from your first love. And finally, the website shows you the analsis of your love type. I don't take it seriously but playing with it is fun. Maybe some of them are correct? Who knows :P Anyway, you can do that from here but it's Japanese only.

Thinking About Happy Holidays

What is the happy thing coming in 2 months? It's *Golden Week*, yay!! Since I'm spending boring weekends these days, I want to get some spice on my Golden Week. Don't want those days to be like something just "nothing special" off days as I'm spending now, because what I'm doing are playing video games, making my brother play BIOHAZARD(RESIDENT EVIL in USA) and I'm watching it. Actually, watching BIOHAZARD is fun for me since I really like it but can't play well by myself. So, I'd rather make my brother play and watch it beside him.

Although I like it very much, just staying at home and watching such stuffs is unhealthy. Of course I can't say I can do that anytime, since I need my brother to do that, but there must be something much more interesting if the weather is nice. I wanna go shopping, wanna go some cafe with friends, I wanna go *traveling*. So, this time, on Golden Week, actually I'm thinking about after golden week, I'm planning making a small trip with my sister. I'm not sure if I can take some days off, but want to ask my senior if I can. Golden Week is a very expensive season to go somewhere since everyone has off days, so if I can take some day off after the BEST season for everyone, it would be so great for me. I don't expect a lot of days, but want just a few days to make myself be in some new places. If I can't this time, hopefully next time. I don't wanna miss it every time since it's not too much to say that I'm alive to do such things; traveling, having fun, and eating yummy foods. That's the pleasure of my life and what I'm working for. Anyway, hope that I can go somewhere in May, lol.

If you don't know what Golden Week is, check my past post :)

Hinamatsuri -The Girl's Festival-

Today, March 3rd is the day of girl's festival. A lot of families that have female kid display special dolls and celebrate the day with eating chirashi-zushi, shell soup, colorful small rice crackers and drinking amazake; a sweet drink made from fermented rice. These special dolls are usually presented by the girl's parents or grand parents when she was born. People start displaying it in the beginning of spring and take away in the next day of the festival since it is said it makes them give daughter early into happy marriage. In every display, the main things; the Emperor and the Empress are there. Their style is that of Heian Era.

I like looking at these displays, especially greater scale ones. Because, there are a lot of people and stuffs that we had in that era, and they are really made well. Maybe you'll feel what I'm saying now when you take a look at them once, and you will be impressed. So, the girl's day display is really popular in Japan, and everyone knows about the day. There is even a very popular song about the festival day.


Ureshii Hinamatsuri (Happy Girl's Festival)

Let's put the light on lamps
Let's put the flowers; peach flowers
Five musicians are playing the flute and the drums
Today's Happy Girl's Festival

The Emperor and the Empress
They are beside each other and have a clear face
The court lady's white face looks like
My sister that came to be my brother's wife　

The spring wind that is slightly swinging
The light reflected in the gold folding screen
The Cabinet minister right side has a red face
Maybe he had some white sake

Wearing kimono and putting on an obi
Today I'm in my best clothes too
This good day in spring, March
It's the happier thing than anything, Hinamatsuri
