There went another 30th Birthday cerebration for our great brother, p'Ton (10/23). Happy Birthday na ka.
Another main festival in Kyoto, Jidai Matsuri. I missed it last year and kinda missed most of it this year on purpose. It's the parade showing traditional costume of the Japanese which supposed to be quite interesting. Only that we went kimono shopping in the morning and were totally starving that whatever the event it was didn't really matter anymore.
They closed main streets in Kyoto for this event. You can see all the crowds and madness in the pictures. But just facing the other direction - simply empty road! That's the really unseen Kyoto, so yeah.. we were having a great time snapshotting our moments. (^^)





I gave up the intention to write about this, but I guess the topic is just too hot not to mention. It's about the talk-of-the-town Academy Fantasia reality TV show.
This year, or AF2, already came to its conclude last weekend (Oct 8) when I already came back to Japan. Congratulations to the winner, V4 Off, and also the rest of the AF2 crews. I really do admire these people to work toward their dreams (mostly to become singers). The show became talk-of-the-town because of a lot of reasons, I believe. Being able to witness their lives 24-7 makes most of the watchers feel involved. No wonder the concert hall was always, always packed with people of all age. It's just like they come to cheer their own kids! So amazing. This season, UBC (the producer) got 2 more program fans - my mom and dad. :) This year I had quite a difficulty picking out who to cheer. Each of them seems to have their uniqueness. Not to a surprise if they'll have their ways in the entertainment world.
