I went to the Kimono Fashion Show the other day . I was so inspired and at the same time it reminded me of some kimonos which I have in Japan. I always wanted to take a tea ceremony class so that I could have more opportunities to wear them.... maybe some day...

I just found these photos in a folder on my computer.
These look like cucumber to me...

I can't believe that heavy snow storm hit New York!!! It's already in March and is supposed to be warmer..... Well, Winter is back!!
I watched Oscar-Winning short animated film, La Marison en Petits Cubes (The house of Small Cubes) yesterday. Joanne highly recommended to watch this film, so I did it! It's only 12 minutes film but this story was very lovely and meant a lot to me. This is about the story of a grandfather's memories as he adds more blocks to his house to stem the flooding waters... Is this story telling us about global warming as well??
It's cold and snowing today but peaceful...

I thought it started to rain...
