i’m just grateful to be alive at the same time as miyazaki, and to watch one of his films in the theaters 🥺

really wanted to screenshot all the frames from the film lol

and of course as always, i took notes!! bc forgetting is normal. need keepsakes. :)

thankfully this fic existed to ease my the pain…. and agony of having to wait a month for a new chapter…..

it’s the best day of the year! today is the birthday of the poetry of my life, my dear papa cesar. initially i wanted to go on a full day trip to osaka and kobe, but i decided to just go on a nice long walk to celebrate. i feel like i will feel my father’s day deeper and slower that way.

i visited the Daihikaku Senkōji Temple in Arashiyama. the bridge and the bamboo grove are always packed with tourists, but the area further into the river was so peaceful and quiet.

the hike was quite a breather, both in the sense that i was out or breath and it was tranquil. but it’s a pretty easy climb and did not make me feel scared, except for the snake i saw amid the stairs >.<

the temple was empty when i reached it, and it was absolutely beautiful. it felt like. we could write free notes in the notebook they provided, so i wrote a little letter for my papa cesar.

i will definitely go back again. it truly felt like spirited away (just like all the mountain trails here lol)
