Extract a wisdom tooth

I am feeling some pain because the anesthetic is wearing off… little by little. I took some medicine to kill the pain. Wooo… I haven’t been to dentist for a long time, so I was really nurvouse. But Dr. was really kind, so… the whole thing went really smooth, and I was fine.
Look how big it is… wooo… start to have a dull pain…..

Anyway, last weekend, I went back to my home town. It is really good to be home. My family is doing fine. We have spring seasonal festival called ‘Sekku 節句’ If it’s a boy, its called ‘Tango-no-Sekku’, if it’s a girl its called ‘Momo-no-sekku’.

Tango no Sekku (May 5)
May 5th is the Boys' Festival in Japan. It is the festival to hope all of the boys in each household would grow up healthy and strong. Warrior figures (often the dolls of boys in suits of armor) and/or Warrior's helmet and Warrior's Suit of Armor are set up in the house during this festival, iris leaves (Shobu) are placed under the eaves to fend off evil, and huge carp shaped streamers (Koinobori) are fastened to poles.

Momo-no-Sekku also called Hina Matsuri. This is on March 3. This "Festival of Dolls" (also called, "The Girl's Festival") is the day on which wishes are made for the future happiness of all girls. A set of dolls dressed in costumes, originally worn in the royal court in ancient times, are displayed with peach blossoms decorations. These dolls are sooooo beautiful. We have this doll festival everywhere in Japan.

We really have wonderful culture. ^^
Our family all gathered last weekend and had really good time. We eat and drink and talked. This day is celebrating young girl, but also this is the day for grand parents. They are just really happy to see all the family together. ^^ My cousin will moved to Okinawa next month (which is 3hours from here by plain) because of his job.. We will miss his family.
