Animal Police



When I was in Japan, I watched TV that was about Animal Police. I remember that clearly, because we do not have this system, and also I was impressed.
I found the Animal Police in Miami. Actually it is called Animal Services Unit. (I think this is not real police. They said it is a TV program.) As you can see, they move for animals such as to prevent and punish animal cruelty cases, protect the public from rabies and problems associated with stray dogs and cats, and pick up stray and injured animals. People can have animals so easily, but some people don’t know how to treat them, and other people kill them or ill-treat them. I hate these people, so I am interested in these issues. They impound 2,769 animals in a month, but only 389 animals are adopted each month. According to this number, many animals do not have host. It means they will be killed unfortunately. This is all because of people. They are innocent.
About 27 million animals are handled by animal shelters in the United States each year. About 10 million are reclaimed or adopted. Others, 17 million dogs and cats to be killed and tossed into trash cans where they wait to be cremated or picked up for commercial uses. Some companies buy these dead bodies for pet foods… I hope it is not true.


Do love your pet!!!


Peace ><

To go to foreign countries!!!

How many countries have you been??? I have been to Australia when I was middle school. It was my first time to see the foreign country. I went to there with a group. My village had a program to visit there to have an experience. At first, I was so nervous of course. I didnt study English so much, and also I was not interested in English, so my English was more terrible than now. I had no idea how to communicate with my host family. Fortunately, my family have kids, so they helped me to enjoy in there. We played a lot with them, but the problem that they are all boys. They were so tough. After we played with them, we were exhausted. We spent with them for 10 days. The time was so fast, but it was great experience for me :D

I think, my English life was started from this time.


When I entered high school, I was wondering what course should i choose. They have a lot of course, such as P.E course, accelerated promotion course, welfare course, English course, and so on. I was interested in P.E. course and English course, but I didnt want to P.E. to much, so I decided to enter the English course. My choise was right, because the course has a study abroad program. So i could go to study abroad for a month in Seattle this time. I think I am lucky person , because I could go to foreign countries. This time also homestay. Again My host brotheres are all boys!!!! lol
This time was also pretty hard for me, but i could enjoy. These experience help me a lot to become adult. Also, i appreciate for my parents that let me go.

Now, Im in Mississippi!!!! How lucky am I!!!!!
BUT I regret one thing that I havent studied English so hard....


I should not waste of my time in U.S.


So, everyone DO NOT miss anything during in US.

2 years ago

My University has International Chat Lounge that is chat to people in foreign languages. There are 3 Hawaiian native speakers. Also there are many Hawaiian profeccer in the university, because the university's principle married with Hawaiian. I took one of the hawaiian teacher's class which is to plan a wedding. I know that is not suit foe me, but I liked this teacher. She was kind and funny, and also the class was interesting!!!


We had to plan own wedding, for example where would you like wedding? How much will spend for the bride? How many people do you want to invite? Where would you like to go for the honeymoon? etc.

According to my memories, I chose Hawaii for the wedding that is by the beach and there is a white small church. When you go to there before sunset, it will be more romantic!!!lol


For my honeymoon I chose Maldives that is located near the Indian Ocean.







I recommend you to go there for your honeymoon too if you like the ocean!!!!

My childhood

Until I went to junior high school, i didnt like girls so much. I think you guys think weird, but it was true for me. I hated girls' stuff such as play with dolls, or playing house. These things were not interesting for me. I was tomboy during elementary student. I had played with boys such as baseball, basketball, explore, and make a hiding place. We call that "Secret base".


When I was more younger than I explained, I used to play with my 3 years older brother. He loved insects, so used to catch them. Because of played with my brother, I could catch and touch them, but now I cant. Anyway, We caught a butterfly and dragonfly, and then we feed them to ants...we were just watching that ants pulled them into their holes...lol
Sometimes, we did smash ants' hole with a firework or a pesticide. We were very cruelly kids, but you know the kids sometimes cruelty naturally.
Lately, these kids are gone because of ages. I think that is sad, because people learn right things from what they had experienced.

My Olemiss Life

is going to end about 1 month and a half...It was pretty fast. What am i done during in the United States???

I came here last August, but I didnt do anything hardly. I realized finally!!! I have to speak more English, so I found kind of tutor for conversation! I think I cant speak English in the classes, because I dont know when i can speak and also words are not comes out ><


By the way, i could go to some places where are NY, Hawaii,Memphis, and Chicago!!! These places gave me wonderful memories, especially NY. Because I went to there with my best friends of Olemiss. That was unforgettable for me. I guess at that time, I spent about $1500 including flight's cost and hostel's.
So now, I dont have any money to spend some activities. That is why I cant go to Atlanta on April.


My least time, Im gonna spend to speak English!!

Do you wanna hear that???LOL

Im so bored today, anyway...lol
so i decided to write a blog!!! I told you my school's craziness, so this is a continuation.


My dorm was a five-story and i lived on the 5th floor. We have 10 rooms each floor and shared 4 people in each room. This floor was only for my club. we had about 30 people in our team. We have to live in the room randomly and we change our room once a year. When i was a first grade, I had 3 seniors in my room. That was horrible for all freshman.


I went into the room first time, ofcourse i didnt know about anything our rules, but my senior was looking at me strangely, and she said to me "You cant wear a jeans!!" for the first met...Dont you think is it scared?
I was like "Hun?" but i couldnt say anything... I lost my words at that time!!!


and there are lots of rules such as;
You cant wear a pants that has a zipper.
You have to put your shirt into the pants.
You cant wear a skirt. but actually no one liked skirt so no body cared...lol
You cant have a long hair.
You cant drink carbonated drinks.
You cant have a cell phone.
You have to hang up in 5 minutes.
You have to down when you speak to seniors.
You have to tell own senior where you will go when you go out from the floor and tell them to come back.
You cant drink and eat standing.
Juniors have to wake them up in the morning and the roll call.
If you get a F, you have to tell all team mates and you have to study during practice baseball, but we have to go the ground.
We have more small rules, I cant write down all things.
I think you thought its enough already.


I have a funny story about our rules. These rules became our custom when we were going to upgrade. We can go home during Winter Break for a month. When we went back home, we dont have to do that kinds of damn things, but we did it naturally. Especially, when we went out from the bathroom, we put our clothes into the pants.
And also we can drink standing, but when we got a drink in front of the fridge, we down. Then, we realized "!!! We got home!!"


These rules made us crazy too.


But now, these craziness are big funny stories for us!!!
when we got reunion, we laugh about that!!


Have you experienced like that??;p

My high School crazy rules!!

im going to introduce my CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY high schools rules. At first, almost high schools have to wear uniform. Our teachers check our uniform how we dress correctly every morning. Japanese girls like to wear a skirt shortly, and boys like to wear a pant how under the waist. Ofcourse students do not obey this rule after finish the check!lol

Second, teachers check our eyebrows(because we shaved our eyebrows), hair color, and hair stlye. We can not have a perm. If you have long hair, you have to tide your hair or cut above your shoulders.
DO you know about 50 years ago style in japan?? These rules like that time...
Its not cool!!!

You know, people become a couple, they accepted this, but we can not walk hand in hand, we can not in the same umbrella>< Its not interesting, huh?
what should we do if we dated....?lol
students sometimes were quited if we dont obey. Its not fare, isnt it??


i have more interesting rules in my dorm, so i will tell you next time!!!
TO BE CONTINUED!!!!

About 13 weeks!!!

About 13 weeks that i can stay in Olemiss. Time is fast!!! I often here that word, but people usually think about it when the important day will come soon, and then we notice that it comes soon. 'Oh, i have only 13 weeks!!!' like me.


Recently, i am thinking about my English skills. Im not talkative person and not sociable person. People have some weak points, and we know our weak points, but we cannot change it easily....
Last semester, there were lots of Japanese people, so i spent with my japanese friends. I had known that is not good for me. Ofcourse I had a good time with them, but sometimes i am alone and think about what was the purpose of my study abroad.


So i am trying to go out with some English Speakers. I should have done more fast like last semester. I regret about my behaviors.
What can I do that my least days??

Please do not be like me!!!lol

Do you have girls baseball team or club in your county?

As you know, I play baseball in my country. I have been playing baseball since 10 years old. When I went to elementary school and also junior high school, there were no girl's baseball team around me. Because of it, i had to play with boys, but actually it was good for me. Everyone treated same as boys. I think almost people take care of girls as well, because baseball is dengerous sports for girls. But people who was around me, for example, teammates, parents, coaches, they treated me as a player!!!

When I was 1st grade in junior high school, I got a trouble about physical things. At this age, boys grow up immidiately, so I couldnt follow their growing><>
When I became 3rd grade, we had to think about after graduate, but it was not clear in my future. I was wondering what shoud i do next. When I watched TV with my mother, I found my future. My mom and I decided to go there soon. It was my high school. The TV program was documentary about my high school. If I didnt watch this program, I must be lost my way. My high school found the first baseball club in Japan, in 1997. It past 6 years when i entered. So there are 5 official girls baseball club in Japan.


Do you know why is it difficult to make new girl's baseball club?


Because, no one knows girls can play baseball and also people do not know how many girls want to play. I was lucky because i could find my high school, but someone might be give up baseball life because of no girl's club. Now, we have 5 girl's baseball clubs in high school. One is south of Japan in Kagoshima which is my school, and others are in Tokyo area. It means girls have to move to there. This is also loose our chance to play baseball. In this April, a new team will found, If I pass the interview this school, Im gonna be a coach of them. It was my dream, so I could be reach my dream!!!! I talked about only high school, but actually we have about 20 girl's club which means no age limit.


In the end, i would like to introduce my club team!!

A Memorable Event in My Life

In my writing class, we wrote about our memorable event, so Im going tell u about it^^
Do u have any event when u grew up as a adult??
In Japan we have one when we became 20 years old. It is Japanese big event for everyone. From 20 years old, we can drink alcohole and smoke.
This ceremony hold on January, so people who are 20 years old come back their hometown. My hometown is small as you know, so my friends and I have been friends since 6 years old(kindergarten), my class had 20 people all the time until 15 years old. It had never changed my classmates!! So we know each other well:p
After graduated from junior high school, we had to go separate way for our future, but the event called us to reunion!! and we can drink and talk about our memories, so it became fun, ofcourse(´∀`)b Dont you think so???lol

Im gonna show you our traditional clothes which is KIMONO.




Kimono is so expensive, and we can wear this type of kimono before we get married. We call this type of kimono is "Furisode." A few people buy a furisode about $10,000, and this kimono is used only 1 time at this ceremony. But if you want to use after got married, you have to cut the sleeve.


My friends wore a suit, but they have traditional clothes too.


I will show you Junya' s clothes who was in IEP last semester!! I hope some students and Tracy remember him:p

What do you think our traditional clothes??


We drank together friends' house and we drunk. My friends drank crazily, so some of my friends got crazy, then they kissed....><

Remember!!! I didnt do it like my friends...haha
I had great time with them!

*About Myself*

First, I’m happy to hear that you enjoyed my journal, and thank u for ur kind comments!!!^^

I’m going to write about myself. Some people already knew me, but I want you to know about me!!lol

I was born in Oita, Japan as you know. My hometown is so small village. It is like Oxford, but I think my hometown is smaller than Oxford!!! If I want to buy some food, I have to go there by car. If u want to walk to the nearest place that u can get some place, it takes about 3hours. Can u imagine? Even my hometown is inconvenient, I love there and people. My prefecture is well-known as hot springs. People come to here to take a bath and it makes u relax and so on. Hot spring is a public bath, so u have to share the same bath with unknown people. Is it strange for u? I really recommend u to come to my hometown. I can show u my hometown!!! You are very welcome ;)

I grew up in my hometown until 15 years old, because I went to high school in Kagoshima to play baseball. Kagoshima is far from my town. It takes 5 or 6 hours by car.

So, I lived in dormitory for 3 years. I was taking English course, so I could go to study abroad to Seattle for a month. I was captain of girls’ baseball team. It was hard for me, but it was a good experience. I had a great time in high school. After graduated, I decided to go University in Osaka. Osaka is a second largest city in my country. There are lots of fun. U never feels bored in Osaka. And also Osaka people are so funny!! There is lots of funny “Oba-chan” who is middle-aged women.

In my university, I’m a senior and I have to job hunting actually…. But I’m in US!!!

My future is not clear yet, but im going to find my job in Osaka, because I met many friends in Osaka.

I love them, I miss them!! Of course I miss my family too!!

That is my histories!!!

If u come to Japan, I can help u^^ So please let me know when u come to Japan!!
