We received a package from my mom in Japan yesterday.

Every year, she send us Omamori (amulet) and

Ohuda (wood amulet) from the Fushimi Inari Taisha (photo below) in Kyoto.

（ah! I found my dad in this pic (it took by mom).

He carried your gray bag, that’s him, right?)

These omamori were coverd and protected by the cutie pink cushions!!

(great idea mom!! ありがとう !! )

ash: noa look, we’ve got something funny here!

noa: wooo..!!

ash: what’s this for?

maman: i think, you can do something like this… to keep your neck warm..??

noa: stop it! cats don’t do that!!

maman: oh.. sorry…

maman: looks like you guys are triplets!

 

by the way, we went to see Gran Torino last weekend.

Clint Eastwood did a great job (as always)! A must see for sure.

It made me laugh out loud and cry so much. This is one of his best films!

after, we stopped by the Time Warner Center.

I usually shop at their down stairs, whole foods.

We had never been to the 3rd floor, so we went.

It’s a great view isn’t it?!

a little snack there at a cafe.

Oh, look at my necklaceses.. aren’t they beautiful!?

There were the gifts from my sister and my ” neko: cat ” friend!
