pretty!

just when you think you are so fed up with everything... mommy-nature has her ways of reinforcing you:



amazing arc. haven't seen one like this for years! everyone was whipping out their cell phones taking photos in the middle of komazawa park.

i got home at the same time my neighbor did:

neighbor: 'did you see the rainbow?'
me: 'indeed!'
neighbor: 'it must mean that we were all good people today!'

what a sweet remark :)

speaking of sweet...
i still remember my friend writing on my yearbook years ago, 'akane you are so sweat.' oh natsuko, oh natsuko!

nice brand name!

new brand imported into my bff's apparel company:



MANCOS....!!!! high five!! :P

(it means coochie in japanese... plural, in this case. even better?!!?)

夏はやっぱり花火でしょ？

SUMMER = FIREWORKS!


and what do you knowww, we ended up doing some on the night of 4th of july, although literally it was already past midnight and i was so wasted i almost fell on the bench (image the million dollar baby movie). and what the hellll do you know, a cop in his vicious bicycle tells us to quit this shit or else we are going to get in trouble.

dang it, everytime we are doing fireworks, i swear to god, i have cops running after my ass. like that one time, we were launching rocket fireworks. it flew into someones window (of course i was with natsuko) and the next thing you know, a cop is right behind us smirking and saying some whack shit like, 「おまえらぁ、おまわりさんをなめるなよぉ～」

って言うか誰もなめてねーし。
しかも of course this cop is riding on his vicious bike too.

what is it with japan and cops on bicycles. so much more non-threatening when compared to the cops in the states. seriously, i feel like i can actually take one here, but in america its like bye. in reality, they can both kick my ass till i bleed from my eyes.

oh well.
