Planet two of a kind

It wasn't Shibuya restlessness. It wasn't Shinjuku insomnia. But it was a planet which was amazingly identical to Tokyo. We're totally lost in translation in far-East country.

Welcome to Myongdong, Seoul.



We both fell in love with the naming of this particular cosmetic shop;). Can we also purchase perfect Korean skin please?

Completely lost in floods of Korean alphabet, we finally managed to come back to our hotel.


Seoul, Day 2 : Coming up soon!

Sunday overflowed with a thousand tender kisses

May we have a big, undulant but promising year ahead.

After 4 months of lonely cups of chai latte, now a girl got her boy back next to her.

Who said that Kobe-Tokyo was easier than Japan-France distance?

Knowing that now you wake up in the same mornings sunshine, breathe in the same winter air and also knowing that cell phone allows us to exchange simultaneous "oyasumi",
I can't help missing you even more than ever.

P.S.
Tiny Traveller in Seoul, Korea: will be up very soon!

Afresh

New year. Perfect time for family to be united.


















Very classic but the best one we thought.

Twinhood is also versioned up:).


Curtains up. Here it arrives a brand-new year which sparkles with full of hopes, aspiration and love. Happy blessed 2009 everyone. Truly. It will be.

Starbucks, Chinese Steamed bun and old friend

Apparently my Christmas 2008 was all about friend, friend and friend (... just letting you know for those foreign readers: Christmas isn't really a family thing here but instead we have New Year to spend time with family and relatives). See, Santa had sent me a guest from my dear Melbourne.

Sho visited me in Kobe on Christmas morning. No need to say my small size soy latte was so not enough to accompany our everlasting conversation.

Surprisingly China town was crowded as always even on Christmas day. Asians after all love dumpling and noodles rather than juicy turkey;P.

Sho-kun, I think I forgot to tell you the most important thing on that day; "Merry Christmas"!

I'll miss you, my Mr. joker!xx

Amélie meets blackbird

She was the one who never needed cliché with her man and I was the one who may love cliché but lived too far apart from her sweetheart on that holy night. That's why these two 20 something ladies got to share their cheer together on the night of Christmas Eve. So why not make it magnificently girly as lacy baby doll.

Doesn't she look so Amélie?:)

My drink of the night which I immediately fell in love with after I saw its name on menu; Kitty. Perfectly bewitching for the super girlish Christmas Eve.

*

...and how can Christmas become itself without being sugarcoated?




It wasn't carol but the Beatles in the air. Doubtlessly Santa was too nice for us.



Guess what we're off to Seoul next week;).

What a spontaneous night. haha.

bittersweet


If I open the last window can I already skip to Christmas day?
*
Three more weeks then I have your warmth right next to me, with no microphone, no emoticons to convey all my affections.

December never felt this long.

"And you're still here, waiting here, to catch me if I fall"

Forgive me lovelies. I can't believe myself having been so slack on blogging lately. Things have just been really busy around here and the past few weeks have honestly flown by in a twinkle. This weekend will also be spent in Kyoto for annual debate competition from my seminar class but after this major task I hope I'll eventually be able to burst into the mood of Noel and Christmas greetings.

Photos are from last month with my regular Mr/ Ms favorite line-ups this time in Kita-Shinchi,Umeda.


Natsuko and Micchan who always shows up with the nicest T-shirt I've ever seen. By the way Natsuko and I are anticipating the most girlish Christmas Eve together this year. Wanna join, anyone?;)

...just for this moment, appetite won over the conversation.


Naoko. Adorable, as always.


4 carefree laughs and jaunty steps. They naively coloured the blank sky of Umeda business district on that night.


I need a hug too.
