Love Summer Hate Summer
I 
Summer.
Summer.In summer, what else but a real warmth nice weather! 
The smell of summer is different.
The smell of the warmth air
, the smell of the grass 
, the smell of the sun 
makes you feel happy and joyous. 
Countries which do not have 4 seasons is like having summer the whole year round, but the summer from a 4 seasons' countries where else is just different. The atmosphere is different.
We have fireworks events
, summer O-bon festivals 
, people yearning to the beach 
, hot pants hot style 
from the girls, and so much more!To me,
what's really representing summer is CICADA!
I never familiar with the name of Cicada, I was just familiar with SEMI 「蝉」 in Japanese.
I Google-ed it with that and found Cicada is SEMI in English.. 
And, what is Cicada?
This is CICADA

Cicadas will be out from the ground making noise, or I rather say, they sing along the whole Summer.
Some species may sound quite similar to cricket but they are not!
One day when you woke up hearing them singing loudly, you'd know that the Spring is over and it's SUMMER!
This is the sound when you feel 'it's SUMMER '
LISTEN
'LISTEN

The cicadas existence is strong enough to fill up the whole atmosphere of Summer!
Cicadas love heat and they do their most spirited singing during hotter days in Summer.
I love
the atmosphere of Summer with them singing! 
I just feel nice when hearing them singing!
And the atmosphere just somehow reminds me of the summer of some animes that I've watched last time..
I cycle much around my town area
and this was how my Summer looks like!

I Summer with the singing sound of Cicadas.
Summer with the singing sound of Cicadas. But,
at the same time I hate Summer when all insects came into lives during Summer
I think I've been facing troubles with mosquitoes, cockroaches, tiny flying insects and all every summer !
Anyhow, I'm happy that I do not need to deal with any cockroaches this summer. hah!
(I've just seen one dead cockroach on top of the basin in my kitchen when I woke up in the morning...only one and a dead one this whole Summer!
)This summer, however,
I had quite a hard time dealing with the one I've been saying that I love their singing sound in Summer...
yes...a Cicada...
A Cicada just flew straight into my living from the widely opened window.
(Totally regret leaving the windows all opened.)
It then flew crazily up and down, fly, bump, fly, fly, fly, bump, bump, bump onto my walls, doors, ceiling and finally landed on my curtain.
Okay, since it stays on the curtain quietly after that, I din't bother to do anything and continued with my work...
After a while, it began to fly again up and down all crazily bumping here and there and this time it landed onto my round ceiling light!
Can't feel any comfortable with this flying stranger in the house...
Yapi volunteered to remove the glass from the light to have it escape from the light..(though his fear to insects is worser than I do..
) The Cicada escaped and now landed back on my curtain JUST NEXT to my opened balcony door! Why can't they just fly out
Yapi asked me to get rid of it...but how
I love them singing in Summer, but the sound they make when they feel danger is absolutely dreadful to ears!
Picture taken very unwillingly...
I did got rid of it after that...but in a very timid way...
.
.
.
.
.
...but at least I got rid of it without killing it !
I actually love insects, in the sense of seeing their documentaries and have always think that their world, the insects world is just so amazing and mysterious.
But once they are somewhere near me, just like all the other girls, I'll be shrieking uncomfortable, anxious, and can't stay still until they are gotten rid of...
But yeah, insects are actually very beautiful in their own world which seems to me like a fantasy-like world especially when you see them in a very high resolution captured videos and pictures.
Some Cicadas pictures from Wikipedia.
They are actually beautiful if they do not invade into my house! 
Cicada molting
They will be in their
MOST BEAUTIFUL STATEright after molting !
They glow-in-the-dark when they are still fresh from molting, which gives them a fairy-figure ! 
glow-in-the-dark when they are still fresh from molting, which gives them a fairy-figure ! Yeah, I've just got to repeat myself that I think they are beautiful and I love their singing sound during the Summer, but I just hate them when they invade into my HOUSE
Anyway, it's already Autumn now...an insects-less season! Love it as much!

Let's Go to the ZOO ♪ GODZILLA's there!!!
I still haven't go for GUNDAM!!! (><) Coz of rain...and laziness... (><;)
But oh well,
But oh well,
I dunno whether I'll be still going for Gundam but I'm kinda have lost the earnest to go anymore... (-_-)
You know what, I've gone to see...
MONKEYS who think human are nut!
GODZILLA and the gozilla babies!!
SPIDER the ruler!!!
The KING of birds!!!!
The CUTE and Eeuuww palm-civet!!!!
An ENORMOUS tortoise!!!!!
at the ZOO instead!!!!!!
Ah ha!
Bet nobody has seen those animals the way I see them in a Zoo! hahaha
But I do think different individual has different perception towards anything.
I must say, ZOO can be fun and it is totally not only just for kids or photographer!
Pictures time of the FUN! (^-^) !!!
Ooh, do let me express my '#@ !*?!#! @' feeling before the fun!
I actually got a cheaper ticket 400yen (normal ticket 600yen) from a ticketing store and have planned to go to the Zoo on Monday instead of the weekend to avoid the crowd.
So, we were happily preparing ourselves to wake up very early in the morning (where we usually don't sleep until it is morning), 45 mins journey train and walk all the way to the Zoo and...
Wasted my sleeping time, wasted my make-ups, wasted my money, wasted my energy, wasted my morning!!!
My 400yen ticket was valid until the next day but we had an appointment to go!
Ticket WASTED too!
*Chih*
Ok, enough buubuu-ing! Gonna start the FUN with pictures!! \(*^0^*)/
First of all, FASHION CHECK of the day! (^0^)/
.
.
.
Very casual, very bright, very cute-sporting, color very matchy!
Just great for summer!
Everything kinda cheap but sorry...not really that extra cheap. (- -;
The shirt is cheap for Tokyo price but kinda expensive for Malaysia price...
The sneakers are cute*
Wear super short socks or a tight long socks to make the shoes more in focus*.
Yeah, wear something with not much volume to your lower part body so that you can emphasize more on the shoes!
Like me, shorts or mini-skirts. (^-^)
POP n' Cute*
This actually makes your style looks like an anime character too~! (^0^*)
Just like these~! v

You probably think that they're sad lil' poor thing, imprisoned by selfish human just for the sake of so-called human entertainment.
But think!
Although they're behind the bars,
they are free from lions/tigers attack, they do not need to worry about hunger anymore for they got fed everyday.
Moreover, they'd probably enjoy more where they could see free-show from human.
Who's the fool?
Human gives out their best to protect them, human provides them comfort, human pays to see them, human makes funny faces in order to attract them!! where they can just live happily eventhough behind the bars...
Ice-cream after lunch! This ice-cream was awesome!
Soft, creamy, milky! Great quality!
Probably nicer than Haagen Daz!!!

The Cock RULES too!
He stays up there all day long observing.
He has really long tails which are so precious that they shouldn't touch the filthy ground.
Without touching the ground, his tails will grow and grow and grow and grow and grow...
He is special and that makes him the King*.
He never leaves his chrone.

The Backstage~
Haruka plays all 5 roles in this VIDEO! \(^0^*)
Directed by:
Haruka, Yasu
Camera:
Sony Cybershot T10, a compact digital camera.
Lighting:
Natural lighting from outside & aluminium foil paper for the lighting effect.
Sound system:
Indoors - No mic. Close all the windows, shut down all machines in your room to prevent all possible noise.
Outdoors - Speak as loud as you can~!!! NG for all takes when there are kids shouting, car noise, windy, etc...
Editing:
Photoshop, Premiere
Make-up:
Haruka
Casts:
Haruka : Haruka
Dress-up:
Dressed up formally-cute! (^0^;
Make-up to look great on camera !
Twin tail to match the School Uniform~!(but, after watching the video on air, personally think that my hair is not well-set enough...and it looks meesssy....(><) )
Stage:
Simply just set up the backdrop with "Harupi.com" banner, fixed the camera on a perfect angle with cellophane tape.
Rehearsal!!!
Grannie : Haruka
Dress-up:
Granny usually has no fringe, so pinned it up.
Granny usually has white hairs, so covered it up with a scarf..but i don't have a scarf. But I found a big luncheon mat..so...(^^;
Granny usually wears spec.
Stage:
Just found the most suitable corner in our whole house is our curtains on the closet. There's an image, that granny likes cloth..
Dim lighting makes it best.
Pengin : Haruka
Dress-up:
Bought this penguin pyjamas from a sell-all-sort-of-things chained shop in Japan, Donki. This shop is just awesome. Anything can just be gotten there!
Stage:
Thought of having all real penguins as background maybe at a Aquarium Centre?...But we've been there twice for video shooting! Not feeling like going there again, and we ended up at a park nearby for the shoot.
Damn, it was too dark for a shooting at 6pm!
But hey, there was a post lamp! Just great with the darkness! Make full use of the shadows~to cover my face,
and there I look more like a penguin with my face shadowed.(^0^)/
Cowboi : Haruka
Dress-up:
A cowboy image! First of all, the hat!
Secondly, the sun-glass!
Then you are now 40% a cowboy-to-be~
We will just be using my top body for the shoot,
so it doesn't matter how it looks like down there...kinda weird,huh?....(><)
Stage:
The same park as when we shooted Pengin.
But on a different day different spot.
This place looks like a ranch on a specific angle.
Just set the camera to keep all concrete objects out of the frame and you get an old country home-ranch-style.
Yayoi : Haruka
Dress-up:
Twin tails definitely look young! Use cute hair accessories to make a 6 years old adorable~(^^*)
Make-up color base : Pink
Well, young girls always have pinkish cheek~
Stage:
My bed. I happened to have my bed in a nice corner with windows on both walls.
Just placed some stuffed dolls I got from the game centre and hold one of them made out the whole atmosphere~(^0^*) Moe~moe~kyun*
That's it the backstage of my video~(^0^)
Hope you'll like it~! (^3^)v
