I’m not talking about the typical Christmas tunes that are blasted everywhere even a month before Christmas arrives. I’m talking about songs to suit my Christmas mood. I’ve never celebrated Christmas, and I don’t intend to either. What’s up with Santa, log cakes, turkeys and Christmas presents? It’s all overly commercialised. Businessmen are laughing all the way to the bank as I write.
When I think of Christmas, I think of chilling weather and snow. The scene of a snowy peaceful town appears in my mind. That’s all I can relate Christmas to; Winter. I don’t care about the food, presents, some red old man or even the birth of a religious figure. However, there’s no winter here.
Some might think that it’s pathetic that I have to spend Christmas eve and the actual day alone at home facing the computer instead of partying outside, but with the right music to accompany me, it’s all good. In this event, sleepy.ab couldn’t be more suitable.
Just when I thought that I had lost them for good when my previous computer died out without me backing up any data, I realised that there was another copy of these images in my parents’ computer. My mum must have backed it up.

Back then, I have not began blogging, so I didn’t really have a space to upload and archive my pictures. However, since I have a blog now, I figured that I might as well do the archiving here, since this is related to Japan.
Anyway, it was quite a memorable trip, since it was the first time I went overseas with a friend instead of my family. Our whole trip spanned for 2 weeks in the middle of December, and we went downwards from Hokkaido towards Tokyo.
As episode 5 did not have much to offer, I decided to wait and lump both 5 and 6 together so that the number of pictures would seem less pathetic. I managed to get 7 screenshots for episode 4, but now it takes 2 episodes to get that number. Are the number of scenery scenes reducing as the series goes on? I hope not.
I just simply adore Persona -Trinity Soul- for its winter setting. As such, I have decided to compile some pictures of the winter scenery as of episode 4. If you happen to be looking for an episode summary, you are sadly in the wrong place. The screenshots would have contain no characters, and the purpose is to encourage more people to appreciate the beauty of the snow-covered city featured in the anime.
Have you ever watched an anime and unknowingly, some elements within it trigger some memories of your past?
This is a memory that I would like to have ^^
Recently, I came across 2 anime series that reminded me about portions of the past, one of my secondary school life, and the other of my trip to Japan in 2006. Care to guess?
