桜が咲き始まった。

Today is a public holiday in Japan!! It's called 春分の日(shunbun no hi). E-to... Vernal Equinox Day. Erm.. is it some day to celebrate the 1st official day of Spring?? I have no bloody idea. Ano, i'm from the tropics. Don't mind my insensitivity towards seasons. Hahah. I don't think the Japanese do anything special on public holidays too. Not like in Singapore, when it's Deepavali, the Hindus celebrate their New Year, when it's Vesak Day, the Buddhists visit the temple, when it's Christmas Day, people go out and feast etc etc. In Japan, other than New Year's Day, it seems like every other public holiday is just a day where you don't have to go to work. Although i'm positive some of my colleagues went back to office to work today. I'm sure i will see emails dated TODAY tomorrow... So yea, they do not go to beach on 海の日, nor go on hiking trips on 緑の日, and definitely do not hit the gym just cos it is 体育の日. They probably just go dating with their better half, or just sleep in, like me. XD. But i tink i sleep too much. Woke up way past noon and dillied dallied the day away. And then lament about wasting time when the sky turns dark but STILL can't wake up early come the next public holiday/weekend. That's me. でも、何もやることはないもん。それに、睡眠補足のため。そう、言い訳が多いです。

Ooh, I just checked up the word "Equinox". It says it is one of the 2 times in a year (around 20Mar and 22Sep) where the sun is above the equator and day and night are of equal length. Oh really? Does that apply only to the tropics or here as well? I gotta start timing. LOL.

It is still really cold here in Tokyo. It was like ZERO DEGREES a few nights ago... like what the?!? And oh!!! It finally SNOWED earlier this week too!! (Or was it last week??) That morning, i was preparing to go work when i heard the news on TV saying that snow was reported in some other parts of Tokyo (i forgot where) in the early morning but had since stopped. I was like oooh.. finally. They said that this is the latest snowfall ever reported in Tokyo for the last 200 years or so. It's all because of global warming. People, PLS START LOVING OUR EARTH!! So anyway, i left my house for work and when i got off the train station to begin my 15min walk to office, i thought there was something falling from the sky.. Rain?? But the ground wasn't wet with raindrops. And i don't feel any water on my face either. And then i realised. OH MY GOD!!! IT'S SNOWING!!!! Hahaha... i wonder why im so excited. Maybe it's the first time i experienced snow in Tokyo. Demo ne, it's like chou bimyou. Really really LIGHT SNOW. And it wasn't even zero degrees. So i conclude. You don't need zero degrees for snow.

And the sakuras are starting to bloom in Tokyo yo. I haven't seen any with my own eyes, but the news are reporting about it everyday. Like ooh, there's FIVE sakuras in so and so park now. LOL. Are they serious... Maybe i will catch some tsubomi (buds) on my way to work tomorrow. And it's really cool. Cos my name in Japanese *IS* Tsubomi (蕾). And so happened Kobukuro are releasing a song by the very same name today. It's like MY SONG. Actually i've heard the song many times earlier because it is opening song for Fuji TV's drama Tokyo Tower, starring the very shuai Hayami Mokomichi, whom i swear, resembles Zaizai A LOT. It's a drama about a son and his mother. Not a regular love story but still very touching. I didn't watch the series faithfully, only a few epis here and there, and the last epi which just ended on Monday. I was crying so much when Ma-kun (Hayami) was getting all panicky and devastated when his Okan (mother) passed away. Uwaaahh..... Hayami was really good in this one. And he had to speak some Kyushuu dialect for the entire show. Sugoi ne.. though i dunno if it was accurate. Anyway, the theme song kinda grew on me. Well, it's MY SONG, so let me do some free promo. =) Click on the link below to watch Kobukuro perform this song! Their harmonising is really good.

Awwww... it reminds me of the drama. *sniff*

なんかさ、あのドラマを見て、自分も怖くなってきた。
世の人々が避けられないことなのに。
人として、絶対経験することなのに。
でも・・・やっぱ・・・怖い。

「今」を大切にするしかないね。

Comments:
Oh its gonna be OHANAMI soon. My friend is gonna go there for the OHANAMI festival. Was planning 私達は一緒に行く。Anyways, she's gonna go with another friend just for OHANAMI. It's last week of March/first week of April deshou?! Im sure it would be beautiful. I asked her to take a lot of pictures.

You know what, its funny that you have to bring up HAYAMI MOCOMICHI and ZAIZAI on this entry coz last night, my sis and I were trying to figure out Vaness Wu's character in MG. We all know DAO MING XI, HUA ZA LEI but Ken Zhu's and Vaness Wu's names, Im sure even diehard F4 fans won't be able to recall now instantly (coz I was one). So ok, for about 15 mins, we were thinking of the names and my sis was able to extract from the corners of her brain Ken's MG name which is XI MEN. We only have to figure out Vaness'. When we cant figure it out, I decided to take out all my F4 mags which Ive kept and look at the mags. So of course, I saw ZAIZAI there too. And then, I have this JOSEI JISHIN of Tackey on the cover. Remember that Josei Jishin ish with him taking off his shirt?! I was soooo drooling over it that I told my cuz to get it for me so I saw it again. When I browsed through it, there was a story on HAYAMI inside and I remembered this officemate I had who was soooo into HAYAMI and I wasn't able to show her those fotos coz she's now in London. And now you talkin about his dorama *lol*. Did you know that he's part Filipino? I read that he is part my kababayan somewhere and looking at him, of course Id claim it to be true *lol* Ive only seen him on 'GOKUSEN 2' and 'DENSHA OTOKO'. I havent been on dorama mode for these past weeks though Ive got some to finish in waiting. And the reason why my sis and I were thinking of F4 boys' names in MG was because I told her I might start with HYD2 soon.

Ahhh anyways, its nice to stay in on holidays. I dun mind sleeping the whole day specially if the weather is cold. Just my DVDs and lotsa food, what can you ask for?! XD
 
and its MEI ZHUO, Vaness' character *lol*

Hey, just to remind you....WAIT FOR MY CARD!!!! XDDD thanks!
 
Well, Dithers, I don't know of any proper hanami festivals, but many people organise hanami gatherings at parks to drink/eat while viewing the sakuras. Then again, maybe it's just ANOTHER excuse to drink. LOL. The Japanese REALLY LIKE to drink A LOT.

And abt Vaness.. hahaha, when i read ur comment, for a moment i was also like.. "wait a min... what's the name of his character again???!" XDDD. So thanks for the reminder. It's Mei Zuo (not Zhuo actually). Then again, i wasn't so much of a F4 fan compared to most of the others. I was laughing at how katai their acting was actually. Hahha.. but i did like Zaizai in there. He's prob the only reason why i watched the show. Didn't really cared much abt Dao Ming Si and Shancai.. i was always hoping she ends up with Lei.. Well, she did!! In real life. WHICH IS EVEN BETTER. HAHHAHAHHA~~~~~~~~~~

And Mocomichi/Mokomichi has Philippines blood??? Really?? where do u hear it from?? The more i look at him, the more he reminds me of Zaizai...Seriously, i think i am damn consistent. LOLLL.

I watched HYD1 and it was just OK for me. Only 9 epis right? HYD2 had very gd ratings but i din catch a single epi thou im right here... stupid work lah. Now im thinking i shld have recorded it.

Maybe i shld record Yamap's new drama with that Masami girl (aka girl acting as Juliet in you know what) which starts tomorrow. Man.. she gets to act as lover with SON AND FATHER??!?!?
 
Oh mi gosh.. i mean Filipino blood up there. My Engrish is getting worse the longer i stay here...

SOMEBODY SAVE ME....
 
The Japanese REALLY LIKE to drink A LOT. --- So Id assume that Tackey biru habit is still not very alarming(^^)

and thanks for correcting me on MEI ZUO. I guess I never fully remembered it ne~ Im more of Dao Ming Si + Shancai (reel) than Zaizai + Barbie Xu (real). But now, it doesn't really matter.

I read about Hayami being part-Filipino here: http://www.jpstar.net/?p=1249 . But no one can really tell although, based on his looks, he could pass as a Filipino. A goodlooking one.

I might watch the HYD2 which Id get from a friend during the holy week. Will try to get back to the doramarathon bandwagon coz its the only time Im (probably) free.

I gotta go~
