1000 paper cranes...

well it's only about 100 so far, but I will make the 1000 paper cranes to get my wish... =___=

1 a.m.





this morning







cool, huh? ^.^

Snoooow!!!

taken 3 days ago, the view from my balcony (3rd floor.)




and lots of it....


and these taken an hour ago... it's blurry, because it's snowing heavily...







it's really worse than it seems... to give you the "real stuff" I'd have to go out and take snapshots as I try to make my way through the snow, but there's no way I'm taking the camera out at -10 C. (hmm... I'll try with my phone.... hopefully, my hand won't freeze...)

The city in its... winter holidays clothes ^.^

just some snapshots...in case you were wondering how my town looks like... sorry for the low quality..


The City Hall - side view (cause the side view is better.. ^^)




the Prefecture...





one of the main streets... not far from the City Hall.




aaaand...






well the camera really hated me that night (probably cause we'd been apart for so long.... damn you Nii-san!! >.<) so this is the best I could do...

Christmas tree & fireworks!

as promised... still Dec 10.

I managed to film it... ^^ and near the Xmas tree there was another Santa, and I managed to take a pic of my nephew with him (I wonder why he never asked how come there are so many Santas.... )





the video... ^^

My nephew's kindergarted Xmas festivity ^^

it was held on December 10, in the building inside the Botanical Garden. just a few snapshots.

what they are wearing is part of our national tradition. they each got to say a short poem and they sang Christmas carols. ^.^







and then Santa came!!! ^.^





after the festivity, we (meaning me, my sis, my bro-in-law and my nephew) went downtown for the lighting (?) of the Christmas tree. ^.^ but I'll write about that in the next post ^^

IRIS review

I wanted to be the first to write an IRIS review for dramacrazy.net but I got lazy so someone beat me to it. but I wrote mine anyway and it's awaiting approval ^.^
