Music And Cherry Blossoms Festival .... (Kathy)

Music, music... yeah definitely we can't live without it ^_^ ... i like almost all kinds of music , depends on my mood. I'm fond of love songs especially those theme songs of my fave movies ... yeah, i usually fall in love with the guy in the movie and to the song itself. ^_~ lol! hehe! But at times i feel like listenin' to some soothing songs too.. like of Enya, sounds of Kenny G. and Christopher Cross. For chillin' times i do listen to Cranberries, Dido , Switchfoot and to some RnB's... like Pharrell, Black Eyed Peas and luv to dance to the songs of Shakira and Beyonce. And speaking of ROCKs!!... it shud be Nirvana, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Creed, Green Day, Limp Bizkit, Guns N Roses also Nickelback and Simple Plan ^_^ How can i forget? i'm crazy listening to Indian Music now too.... be it Hindi, Tamil and Malayalam... yeahhh sometimes i dun have any idea what i'm listening to ^_^ hehe but i think it's not the lyrics or the meaning of the song... it's the heart and how we appreciate the song itself na.... coz i think i can relate more of the sounds... i love the sounds of tabla and other Indian instruments. Yup i love to listen to sounds of guitars too, ukulele and lots of others . Hubby actually play trumpet and my lil princess Rina started learning to play drums (japanese drums) she's attending lesson for that for a month now. So wherever i go i have music around me ^_~ ... and i think it's a part of our everyday life. No Music... No Life!!!


Cherry Blossoms!!! (Spring)


Cherry Blossoms (Sakura) season.... it's the time of year that you can see such beautiful flowers (pink and whites) all over Japan. People usually go to parks, shrines and temples with family and friends and hold a "flower viewing party" known as hanami (花見). Hanami festivals celebrate the beauty of sakura, and for many, it is a chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful view. Hanami custom in Japan dates back to many centuries ago...... ( click the pics. to enlarge)








... Do listen to this japanese song titled "Sakura" too ( by* Moriyama Naotaro) and enjoy the beautiful cherry blossoms video as well! ^_^
