Ah yes, that was definitely one of her best calendars! Ranbi, thanks for that bit of nostalgia.
I will never forget this calendar. It was the first and only calendar I’ve ever bought in my life and I remember how expensive it was then.
Akina’s calendar was always 500 or 1000 yen more expensive and we asked Kinokuniya to order it in. It was well worth every cent because the paper quality was so good.
I kept the calendar in my cupboard, stored away for good. Unfortunately, after I was left for Australia, I came back one day to find out that my mother had found a "better" use for the paper (her perception).
Ready for the shock? I nearly died when I came home in 2000 to open my closet to see that she has cut up the calendar and used it to line the cupboards.
I got really angry and then I had to laugh or I would have to take a knife and kill someone.
Cest la vie, I guess. The memories will always be with me … the beautiful calendar I mean …
Whoa… I can imagine the pain you must have felt, Jamez!
You should be commended for taking it as well as you did, though.
Thank you CJ, for your consolation. There are many other things that she did in my secondary school days like throw away all my magazines and such, so it wasn’t totally new. I still miss most of them. Ha! Ha!
