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!!

Have you seen the movie "House Bunny"?

I like to watch movies, so im gonna introduce my favorite movies!!! So...Have you seen the House Bunny?? The movie is kind of new movie. The first time that I watched this movie was in January, but I already wached it 5 times;p Because the movie is so funny!!!! You should watched it.

Im gonna tell you about this movie a little bit....
First of all, there is a girl who is model of the "Play Boy". She just became 27 years old, but the age is kind of old for the model. But, she is liked by the owner, so it doesnt matter. You know, almost movies have 2 character. The main character is good person. On the other hand, there is a bad person. Actually, the main character is a good person, but she is SOOOOOOOO STUPID!!!!!!lol
Thats why this movie is so funny^^
Second, her life change completely, and she has to find a job. She finds a job that is house mother.

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....><
That was so crazy...you know, our culture is not like that. But no one cared at that time, because they drunk.lol
Remember!!! I didnt do it like my friends...haha
I had great time with them!

Do you have some crazy stories??
If you have it, please share us!!!

*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!!
