RINA's Coming of Age Ceremony

Recently, Rina blogged about her participation of coming of age ceremony. (For those who have no idea what that ceremony is, here's a detail for you! Coming of age ceremony,specifically in Japan, are those people who reached 20 years of age. They are brought to a government building have seminars and all to have knowledge about the adulthood. Usually in Japan, they celebrate or commemorate this event by the second(week) Monday in January.) whew! I hope my explanation got into your mind XDDD LOL!

Anyways Rina had a very nervous day for that event, but everything became well as she met few of her grade-school friends.. (Wow! Reunion LOL) as stated on her blog post.. she said she came to the coming of age ceremony at Nara, Osaka which is her hometown.. well it's good to know she had a break for a while and came to this very precious stage/event for her transition from childhood to adulthood. :)
And to elaborate these info from Rina's blog post, She said that she discovered a lot of people from her friends had been listening or knew SCANDAL.. which made her happy and surprised. yey for SCANDAL :)

Rina also reminisced few memories from back then as she read a letter from a Little Mermaid envelope.. (cries*) aww.. I also discovered that Rina was like any other, she also is hoping for a shortcut (to future, I guess) throughout his childhood.. maybe she's also getting through a lot of trials and problems.. well.. that's LIFE for us..
I'm so happy for her, that despite those hardships, she now reached one of her dreams that A LOT of us had been dreaming of.. :'(
(Let's make RINA our role model)

Here are few PICTURES from the event!
