It's a continued picspam from last time.

Next stop are Honen-in and Nanzen-ji

( clicky! )


I love Japan for the sheer beauty of their temples and shrines. I can see why so many people do these pilgrimages from temple to temple. It's such a spiritual journey that I can't help be affected by it. I definitely want to do a pilgrimage in Japan one day. *_____________*

So I loaded another folder full of pictures. This time, these are taken in front of Sensoji in Asakusa, Tokyo on April 14. I really enjoyed this temple but it was CROWDED. Full of tourists, visitors, worshippers, and a high school band competition (which I failed to get pictures of. Ooops.)

So here is the next part of the picspam for Japan 2007! This time, it's my Harajuku folder!

lady_gemma, kenaressa, shinigamitabris, and I had a late morning it was so nice to sleep in! before getting ready to head over to Harajuku in the afternoon. We went on a Saturday (omg, w-inds. fc event the night before was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING.) afternoon after getting gussied up with the makeup and such. kenaressa had made beautiful black feathered wings and we strapped them on her when we got to Yoyogi Park (next to the Harajuku JR station!).

Then we went into Harajuku after a few hours of watching kenaressa posing, taking pics of other cosplayers, enjoying akame boy the guitarist of the band that was playing on the street. We also found ネロウメロウ there where wifey and I fell in love with their music. :D

So enough of the babble and onto the pictures. After all, that's what you want from me, right?

Sorry to dial-up users! well, not really. :D

Spamming y'all again but this time with something from my trip to Japan!

( finding a new band is so much fun )

seeing how it's super early in Tokyo and my body has not adjusted to San Francisco time, I have been awake since half past midnight on a few hours of sleep and am severely looooooonging for my bed. But work is keeping me hostage (gotta pay all those bills!) and I am unamused at my proclivity to nod off while trying to read numbers on my screen. Especially when sleep deprived.


Ah well. Here's a picture from my time in Kyoto doing the Philosopher's walk between Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion) and Nanzen-ji.

( a sea of pinks and it's not YamaPi's clothes. Nor Keita's. )


More to come when I wake up enough to upload them all on ImageShack. Or Yahoo!albums. Or something.

*falls over*


P.S. I don't know if I ever mentioned this but the horrible event at VTech has me glued to the interwebs all day and my heart, prayers, and hopes goes out to those who have friends, family, acquaintances there. It sickens me to think that someone can sink so low into despair/depravity to do such a thing and yet in the midst of all that tragedy, the courage of those who died to save others remain an inspiration.

It's sad that we go to school to expand our horizons and explore the world with a thirst for knowledge and then when things like this happen, the victims never get to see their full potential in life and the world loses some valuable people. I can hope and pray and pull inspiration from those who died and those who survived and keep on living to make a difference.

May they rest in peace.

So I may have picked up some OCD tendencies from someone *coughs*wifey*coughs* and now have a nice stack of DBSK and w-inds. cds.

Want to see? Here you go.

*flails* i am so hyper. I totally want this work day to be over with asap!!!!

Plus, i so did not stay up until 2am, giggling madly, and spamming them both with SuJu vids. Esp. SuJu vids of them trying to dance like DBSK. Or their mini-drama efforts + NG scenes.

And no, I did not squeal over how cute Ryeowook and Yesung were in their part of the drama in Ep. 2. Or over Eunhyuk and Donghae. Or Daddy Kangin and Mommy Eeteuk.

Well. not too loudly.

But still. woke up at 5:30am PST and wished it was time to get up to get ready to get on a plane.

49 more hours and we'll be on the plane to JAPAN!
