June’s Diary

レディな気分に浸れそう

Sun, 5 Jun 2011 18:15:20 +0900

時々、長い間忘れていたものが思い浮かぶことがある。今までの人生ってそんなに長くなかったが、年を重ねて行くともっと‘忘却’の果てまで遠くなってしまったことが頭の中に現れる。その度に自分の生活の速度を実感する。ため息。もっとゆとりのある人になりたい、もっと余裕のある心を持ちたいと思う。その志で毎日過ごせたら良いなと思う。今日やっと手に入れたこの傘が、新たにマイペースになる決心のリマインダになってくれますように。

Besty’s Recital

Sat, 4 Jun 2011 01:33:39 +0900

My memories go back as far as fifth grade in elementary school. We used to play in the music rooms, practice together during lunch hours, and we shared everything childish and adolescent; trials and errors, life and death, past and future, trust and lies, hopes and fear, and love and hatred all throughout our teenage years and college years. We rooted for our goals on the way, patting on each others’ shoulders as we continued our separate journeys. She chose her musical path as an artist and I chose to be a scholar. But luckily the shared memories are still there. It’s all because she loved me dearly and she always remembered me. She loved me as my Besty, even more than I could love her back. If I just close my eyes, I can still go back to the days spent with my Besty. Just as if it were only yesterday.

Shidare-zakura (しだれ桜）

Sat, 9 Apr 2011 18:28:47 +0900

It’s a strange feeling welcoming spring after a month-long series of natural disasters in Japan. So many times have I wondered if things would ever be the same living in this society - a society that has been most characterized by escalation and acceleration up until the new millennium following the WWII. The disaster has left this society with a certain sense of calmness, or desire to remain calm in the aftermath of the craze. And sakuras have come in bloom as though they would let us know spring is coming come what may.

My Chromiac Knight

Fri, 25 Jun 2010 23:31:30 +0900

This Lomography Fisheye Chromiac Edition is my new knight! decked out with fantastic silvery, glittery armor and a round eyeball on top, this is by far the sexiest Lomo I’ve laid my eyes on. I obtained this precious one on sale at a UO store in downtown DC near Georgetown and took it out on an excursion to Revere Beach. It’s superb!!! Contrary to my Princess Diana, it uses a regular 35mm film instead of the pricey 120mm film rolls. I’m lovin’ it!

Summer in Boston

Fri, 28 May 2010 06:03:54 +0900

School has let out and you can feel the heat on the street as you walk down Commonwealth Ave. Flowers have bloomed during the springtime but these ones I found in front of the Tsai Auditorium are fairly new to me. Aren’t these lovely.
Oh how time flies like an arrow! This will be my third summer in boston and this time with full engagement in my research and teaching. Summer has already begun.
