Happy 100th Entry!!!
Wow! I can’t believe this blog actually made it this far with its 100th entry. Looking back at why this blog was started was to post my general mails to those who wanted to know what was going on in my life in Japan. Now, it has moved from there to the sharing of my adventures in life with my thoughts, memorable pictures, and updates of various kinds. I hope I have not bored you guys out there. I always welcome suggestions and comments to make this blog a fun one to read.

Why Bunny Blogs? Well, I have chosen the nickname "bunny" not because I have some kinky or cute thoughts of any kind. It is just that I like rabbits. I love rabbits. This simply looking furry creature that is simply adorable. I love to look at it. I love bunny motifs. Anything bunny!
When I was growing up, my family owned a pet store (it will conclude its business by this week… how sad! All the memories…). Whenever we had bunnies for sale, I will always play with them: petting them in the cage, taking them out to cuddle and stroke, feeding them greens, etc. I was quite associated with the various batches of bunnies. Back then, my ballet teacher’s church used to share the same building as us. Her sister will often pass the shop and caught me fiddling with the bunnies. Not long after, I was given the nickname "rabbit girl" as they referred to me.
Another "reason" I can find to back up my liking towards this hairy furball is that I am born in "high" autumn, right in the smack of it. According to Chinese and Japanese legend and folklore, there are rabbits who live on the moon making the "medicine of life." Such image of the bunny at work can be "seen" at every full moon, especially during the full moon of Mid-Autumn! It might be so that I am personally attracted to bunnies.
However, as much as I love to look at these furballs, I can’t really touched them now as I can’t stand their stench when they are fully grown. I have also became allergic to them. Sigh! Nonetheless, my love and liking for rabbits is still practiced in other ways. I am so happy that Japanese culture do uphold the bunny figure. I must show you my collection of "bunnies."
I love bunnies… it’s image portrayed through the legends and stories and simply fascinating. You have got to love them.
