dancing?

2006.09.24 *Motel, Japan

2006.09.10 *My friends' wedding.


drinking sake. three times each.


i danced at the reception. my friends Nadine and Megumi played "Sakura, Sakura" on the shamisen, and i danced. i was so nervous my legs were shaking. i was happy to have the chance to wear the kimono. it's actually mine, my boyfriend's mother bought it for me. an amazing gift!
