Love Summer Hate Summer★2009/09/23 06:48
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.
And, what 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!
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!
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!
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 !(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.
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!
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 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.
They will be in their MOST BEAUTIFUL STATEright after molting !
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!
