Journal mercedo's Journal: Autumnal Cherry Blossoms 2

In Japan's writing system, since we use ideogram, any pronouciation can be permissable, of course not always but sometimes when it is so closely related to the original image itself.

We write 'autumnal cherry blossoms' then we read 'cosmos' that's a flower in autumn, and we usually go to see cosmos in a cosmos garden nearest to our residence. Different from the cases of seeing cherry blossoms -we can appreciate almost all areas along the street -we usually have to go to see the cosmos garden. In today's case, we went to see it in Nokonoshima Island Park, where we paid $10 each. By the way, my current girlfriend refused to see me on Friday night for unknown reasons - apparently she was mad for something related to me. She's 33 years old, I cannot measure the feeling of young girls as ever as now as in the future. Instead I called my ex-wife and went to the park. It was probably for the first time in more than one year. My ex-wife and I have been on good terms with one another since we divorced 7 years ago and sometimes we go out together. But apparently it was not enthusiastic. We found fault with each other, she's 41 and I am 44, both are not young.

Any way our perfect holiday is over. Here's the picture http://midori.systemyz.com/images/k_clinic/nokonoshima02.jpg very similar to what we saw today's short trip in Nokonoshima. And I recall last time I saw cherry blossoms in Maizuru Park, I sent tens of photos to my friend but it never occurred to me that nobody in reading my journal was unable to see what I saw, so here's the link, http://www.climber-ph.com/tokusen/maizuru%20kouen3.jpg perfect link.

We usually see cherry blossoms in spring, and cosmos in autumn. Hydrangea in early summer and cyclamen in winter. I like most of all cyclamen first and foremost, now it was over to see cosmos, I now prepare to buy a pot of cyclamen that will last till the end of winter. My Happiness.

  • having read this when it was originally posted, I thought about it as I re-read your 'bio' (User Preferences).

    "This 'Journal of mercedo' is totally dedicated to one woman whom I met with in Trecca, Kyoto, Japan..."

    I wonder how your current beau reacts to such a statement.

    • Yeah, she is from Uganda, educated in Canada, used to work in New York before she came to Japan. So if she knew I am keeping a journal in Slashdot under the pseudonym 'mercedo' probably she might feel very angry because of my bio in the first place. (I mean in the case of Japanese girls, even if they were told that I kept journals here, they can't read what I wrote.)

      I didn't tell anyone around me that I'm keeping journals under the name 'mercedo', so the cases above you raised are categorically deniable. A
