“A cherry blossom is the flower of the cherry trees known as sakura. In English, “sakura” refers to the Japanese flowering cherry, Prunus serrulata.
In Japan cherry blossoms symbolise clouds due to their nature of blooming en masse, besides being an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life, an aspect of Japanese cultural tradition that is often associated with Buddhistic influence, and which is embodied in the concept of mono no aware.
The association of the cherry blossom with mono no aware dates back to 18th-century scholar Motoori Norinaga. The transience of the blossoms, the extreme beauty and quick death, has often been associated with mortality; for this reason, cherry blossoms are richly symbolic, and have been utilized often in Japanese art, manga, anime, and film, as well as at musical performances for ambient effect.”

No more toast. No more skipping breakfast.

My current breakfast:
One glass of lukewarm mineral water with the juice and pulp of half a lemon.
Oats with organic rice milk, sunflower seeds, almonds, blueberries, strawberries, banana, pear, apple and apricot.

Now, I need to work on what I have for lunch. Must incorporate a good source of protein, zinc and iron into my diet.. Seafood, perhaps?

No more consumption of carbs late at night!! Must refrain from consuming any food after 8.

It’s been a long-time coming but it’s over now. I just finished watching the series finale. Many loose ends remain untied, however, I never expected the writers to answer all the questions – it wasn’t plausible. That aside, the finale was emotionally satisfying, bittersweet and memorable. Thanks, it was nice knowing you.
