sunny autumn days

♥

the slow day

walking under the rain on a cool summer morning,
eating miso soup, soba noodles and gyoza with green tea
reading silvia's lovely letter and playing with pixel
even with deadlines and work, what a perfect second day of a new year

♥

hope you had a wonderful start too!

sunday (II)

{ re-uploaded. originally posted on june 11, 2012 }

hi hello,
happy monday ♥

asleep on a sunbeam

sometimes i wish i lived in a small house with a big garden
and not a tiny window

the sweet scent of sun dried clothes,
the soft touch of grass beneath my feet
life's little pleasures.

noon

korma chicken with bulgur pilaf

coconut red lentil soup & cha siu bao

may, 2012.
a cold, rainy long weekend
perfect for movies & homemade food

just a minute in may

and just like that, almost half a year has gone by
may was a pretty busy month, filled with small moments worth treasuring
and at the end of the day, that's all that really matters

reading mashi and other stories, rabindranath tagore
watching silly little videos
listening to this lovely song
writing letters
wearing braids. i'm glad i'm letting my hair grow longer. for now that is..
taking short naps with pixel

hope you have a lovely day
