(Pre-) Wakeup Call

今日は特に理由は無いけれど仕事の合間に自分の卒業した高校のあたりに
行ってみました。AKBみたいな女の子がいっぱい！
皆リボンを襟につけたりスカートを短くしたりショルダーバッグの変わりに
リュックを持ったりと、色々工夫したくなるのは私の時代と同じです。

Skylerは、今はカーラーでまつげをあげるくらいですが、
高校のときはお金がないにもかかわらず、ランコムのマスカラにはまっていました。

高校生は色々なものに”目覚める”時期・・ですよね。

I casually drove and pulled over when I neared to my senior high area
during my (long) coffee break today, without any specific reason.
Wow, that's full of AKBs, seriously!  http://www.akb48.co.jp/
I know from my own days moon ago that
these young cutie pies customize their school wears
(my school does not have uniforms) with
ribbons, shortened skirts, and replace their shoulder bags
with cooler backpacks.

I just use eyelash curler today without any mascara on,
but back on my own AKB days,
I was addicted with Lancome mascara, even
when I was almost broke.
Good old days.

They're now experiencing, what you call, the awakening in many ways :-)
Good old days, really ...
