let it snow!

it’s the 1st snow of this winter in tokyo.
let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

i definitely hate winter but i love snow, well as long as the snow is still “fresh” (not the ones slowly melting on the road that would let you slip over and over like you are some cartoon character).

since i’m from the tropical island known as the philippines, snow is not being offered by any of the seasons(we only have 2 – summer and rainy) in my home country.
i experienced my 1st snow in japan, when i was a trainee for epson (in matsumoto lab). i did really love walking home while it’s snowing and eating ice cream bought from the convenience store along the road (belletot ganda, do you still remember this?) it’s like everything is so serene and everything is so clean! now i’m dreaming of murai and remembering belle (my very warm friend)…. hope you’re doing well and you have nailed that thing *wink* – the reason why you were in manila last christmas time =)

anyway, i think the most of today will be showered with snow so i’ll enjoy this (from my window in the office) until supply lasts. hope i could take a pic later. until then. now back to work.

thank you Lord for continuously giving her a good health and a smile like that from time to time (mahirap pangitiin ang nanay ko , as in! hehe).

this was taken early january 2008, during our christmas vacation in pinas.
