It's snowing!!

It's snowing in Tokyo, which is the first time in this winter.

It rarely snow in Tokyo, but I've been feeling that it's colder this winter than usual, and I found that it was true seeing the snow.


I miss spring!

Happy New Year 2012

As usual New Year's day, I visited a shrine, praying and drinking amazake.

Although New Year's day is always fine whether with clear blue sky in Tokyo, it was cloudy this year.

Unlike other women, I seldom see any fortune-telling, but there is one I always check. According to that, the important thing for me this year is to gain the trust of people around me.

The word of this year:

Gaining Trust

I hope all of you have a great year.
