Japan

The Sakura’s season is the best part of spring in Japan .

Spring when the weather is getting warmer and such nice view with white and pink trees everywhere 

Love this season
Love this weather
Love this beautiful flowers.

Well, when the Sakura bloomed, it’s hanami-time
(Hanami = admire the Sakura, Sakura-viewing party, etc

I went for a few places for this hanami event with family and different friends.

First, on 28 March 2014, I went to Mitsuike Koen, a big park which that has 3 lakes inside located in Kanagawa prefecture with one of my mama-friend (friend with babies).

When I first arrived here, there were still no sakura blooming to be seen..
I knew it was a bit too early but never thought that it would be like so.. so not even one to be seen from the entrance..

No leaves, no flowers? 
Too bad, but we enjoyed the park very much anyway even without the blossoms 

Playing around while waiting for my friend~

Walk..

walk..

walk..

Play with sand..

Play with the rock..

Play with a lil’ big brother..
Lil’ big brother was being so kind and cute




And my friend came 

Ami (nickname) and Kocchan (nickname)

And we had..
LUNCH  straight away!
Very very nice picnicking in Spring 
The breeziness, the warmness after winter,
it’s just.. nice



The babies will never sit still for long..

They eat and play 

Kocchan walked away holding her food 

After lunch, we went for a walk around the park..

Walk, play, walk..

Rest..

Climb..

Watching the ducks..
Little-big-boss will go saying out loud “da~, da~” when he is near the pond..

Making faces~ Uuuuu~ bler~

Climb, climb, climb again..

Hold hands 

With the little babies~

While we walk, at last we found some Sakura that blossomed
Obviously different types of Sakura blossomed on different time

Oh yes! Spring in Japan = Sakura season!

Everywhere you go, you’d see Sakura 

Whitish, pinkish trees all along the street, or just one in the middle of the greens symbolizing “I am the Angel” 

or a garden which is not so green but pink!
Just like the one we went  The Shinjuku-gyoen (新宿御苑)     

Roof of Sakura~ (Someiyoshino, 染井吉野)

ROOF of SAKURA~!!! (Someiyoshino, 染井吉野)
Imagine white pinkish tree in a garden! Doesn’t it makes you feel like a wonderland some may dream of? 

There are various types of Sakura. The very common one, the white pinkish sakura that you always see is called Someiyoshino (染井吉野). The roof of sakura in the 1st and 2nd pic is Someiyoshino and this type is always grown along at the side of a street or river shining all over  

While the above sakura is all PINK!, I think this is Yokohamahizakura (横浜緋桜).
Nice staying alone in the middle type .

Sakura grow straight from the trunk too!

Little-big-boss first time O-hanami, 初お花見 

Love 

Love love 

Waha 

“Mommy.. if you keep on like this, daddy is going to be very jealous..“

Yeah, somehow Yappi and I didn’t take any pics together on this event..

But they did~  

Little-big-boss and Big-big-boss~ 

He was happy after all  Slept half of the trip waking up fresh again to enjoy whatever that is happening. 

Whereas for us, we forgot to bring our baby carrier and we haven’t got a stroller yet..which ended up that we have to carry him barely the whole trip  *sore hand*
Anyway, this is when we decided to get a stroller at last, yay! 

We reached here early in the morning, when the place was still very quite tranquil and peaceful, breezy and calming

At noon..

This is the behind-the-scene of every beautiful sakura picture you see that your friend might have been uploaded on Facebook, etc these days. haha 

And by noon, we went home 

Ooh, I’ve got something to continue which is totally has nothing to do with the sakura’s story above!

I found something very funny and ridiculous that I wanted to write it down here.

The latest Japanese language trend!!

This trend started this year and it’s a HIT on the internet in Japan.

They are words indicating when you are angry. The angrier you are, the funnier it goes..

Angry L1 – Oko (came from the word “okoru (怒る)” which means angry
Angry L2 – Geki (very) Oko (angry)
Angry L3 – Geki (very) Oko (angry) Punpun (steam up) Maru
Angry L4 – Muka (frustrated) Chakka (set fire) Faiyaa (fire)
Angry L5 – Kamu Chakka (set fire) Inferunooooou (inferno)
Angry L6 – Geki (very) Oko (angry) Stikku (stick) Fainariariti (final reality) Punpun (steam up) Doriimu (dream)

And this is how you use them,

Example-
“Oko na no?” (Are you angry?)
              
“My bicycle got stolen, Geki Oko Punpun Maru ٩(๑•ૅہ•๑)！！”

and so on..

Cute?  

知ってた？最近の流行りの言葉っていうか、ネット上でけっこう話題に？

怒りを表す言葉！しかもその怒りの限度によってどんどん変な感じに表現される。。

「おこ」
「激おこ」
「激おこぷんぷん丸」
「ムカ着火ファイヤー」
「カム着火インフェルノ－ォォォオオウ」
「激おこスティックファイナリアリティぷんぷんドリーム」

みたいな感じで。。

夫から最初に聞かされたんだけど、やっぱりくるってる～！と思った 

しかもたまに使われてる。。 感染される～！！！！
