harajo marathon

Every year in Minami Shimabara in late winter/early spring, they hold the Harajo Marathon. The name is a bit misleading, because it's not a proper marathon, but rather short courses of only 3, 5, or 10 kilometers. Entrants can choose which length they would like to run, and begin at different starting times depending on the distance they chose.

I didn't participate in the run, but went to cheer on my friends living in Shimabara who did run, and it was really fun. The reason it's so much fun is that the marathon also holds a costume contest, meaning a lot of runners run their distance in full costumes, and at the end they receive prizes.

The ALTs of the Shimabara peninsula created a group costume together of Mariokart characters. Each person picked a different Mario character to dress as and wore a cardboard cart around their body. It was super creative and fun!

Other than the ALT group, there were local people dressed as Sadako from The Ring, the Joker, a banana and a dinosaur, Where's Waldo, and my favorite, Doraemon.

Doraemon is a famous Japanese cartoon character. He's a blue cat robot from the future that uses random inventions to help his friends. One of his gadgets is the Dokodemo Door, "Anywhere Door," which can take someone anywhere once they step through it. He also loves eating dorayaki, a Japanese sweet sandwich filled with red bean paste.

These details are important because not only did this runner dress as Doraemon, but he carried a Dokodemo Door and dorayaki with him for the entire race. When he walked onto the stage to receive his prize, he set the door down and stepped through it onto the stage. It was amazing and hilarious. The runner really went above and beyond to commit to the bit, and I respect that.

That's all I have to say about the Harajo Marathon for now. It was really nice to see people make running fun and see the creative costumes my friends made. I would love to join in for next year's race if they'll have me!

Story has two strands in two locations.

I need a character to move from one to the other in a space of...five minutes.

Song List Part 2 - Bands

Hi hi! This is the part 2 of Taiwanese song list. For the title I’ll list four bands below, 2 of them are musical bands while the other 2 are more likely to idol groups. Without further ado, let’s get started (゜∀。)

1. 五月天 /  Wǔ Yuè Tiān / Mayday

Mayday debuted in 1999 with five members, 怪獸 Monster (leader, lead guitar), 阿信 Ashin (vocal), 石頭 Stone (rhythm guitar), 瑪莎 Masa (bass) and 冠佑 Guan You (drums).

乾杯 Cheers (2011)

任意門 Dokodemo Door (2016) 

終於結束的起點 Beginning of the End (2016)

頑固 Tough (2016)

I’ll never ever forget the graduation trip when I was in junior high school. On the bus back to school, we sang Mayday’s songs along the way.

2. 蘇打綠 /  Sūdǎ Lǜ / Sodagreen

Formed in 2001, Sodagreen now has 6 members, 吳青峰/青峰 (Wu Tsing-Fong/Greeny, vocal), 謝馨儀/馨儀 (Hsieh Shin-Yi/Claire, bass), 史俊威/小威 (Shih Jun-Wei/Wei, drums), 何景揚/阿福 (Ho Jing-Yang/A-Fu, leader, guitar), 劉家凱/家凱 (Liu Jia-Kai/Kay, guitar), 龔鈺祺/阿龔 (Kung Yu-Chi/Zephyr, piano, viola, keyboards).

(Debut) 我有我的YOUNG I have my YOUNG (2006) young means 樣yang4... “style” in Mandarin...

2月30號見 See you in February 30 (2006) ...i guess the grammar is wrong

Hope.

Have you ever thought how God can handle 7 billion people prayers? Does he has assistant? If yes, how many assistant does he have, and what nationalities are they?

I am really wondering how can Japanese create Doraemon with dokodemo door and making dumb person like me really want to travel to the future? If in the future I'll be a loser, at least I can adjust it now? I can be more open to people, or less judge people around me and more active at work. Like what my boss said. Huh.

If dokodemo door existed, maybe corona virus can be avoided last year, and you will not be like now today. You will not meet someone new, you will not lose your job, you'll be able to travel with your loved one, you getting married, or you still being a jerk.

There's always be something we can learn from today.

I woke up early, without checking my phone first.

I was looking at the wall and thinking something else.

I'm lonely.

Even it was a bad day, at least, we do hope tomorrow will be better than today.

I feel pretty when one time I went to church for easter. I wore a white dress and high heels. My first time going to church with my ex. I prayed to God that I wanted the guy right beside me. But God slapped me with "you are too good to him".
