THE MONTH WHEN WE APPEASE THE GODS

gion matsuri.

it was shuuhei who suggested the trip that we should go together before i leave for ny. yes. weird isn't it knowing how shuuhei is. i reckon it was the last gion trip that triggered his fancy. ichiriki was added to his 'favorite place' despite declaring no interest towards geisha to dad.

i finally got my own slr to the save my time begging for his. and yes. we were snap-happy for that few days. too snap-happy.
