The Ant and The Dove

An ant lived next to a river. One day, the ant fell into the water. A dove saw the ant and she picked a leaf and dropped it into the river. The ant chimed onto the leaf and saved his life. An hour later, the ant saw a hunter who is the best hunter in that part of the country. The hunter tried to hunt the dove. However, the ant climed on the hunter's foot and bit him hard. The hunter shouted in pain, and the noise made the vove fly away.

This stoy's moral is " Help others and they will help you."

I like this story and feel that anybody don't live by oneself and I think nobady can live alone.

housework.

Housework = women's work? I hate that idea!

Anyway, In my family, my grandmother had done housework because my parents were worked out untill she was 88yers old. She've taken care of us. I love her so much!!
However, I din't like housework. Actually, I like cooking and take care somebody, but I hate clean up especially garbage. it's yucky and smelly...I hate... I hope that some robots help me in the future.

Dance with music player.

I'm interented to Sony Rolly !

It's so COOL!!

It is a music player, but it can dance and shine with music by itself. You can control by Bluetooth your cell-phone or computer. Also, you can customize it motion.First sale was Sep. 2007. Now is third version and three colors. It's White, Pink, and Black. Cost is not bad it's about $400. If you get first model, you can get from $200. Latest one is possible to dance 7 of them in same time.

Maybe, watch video is better than my explain. I found some video.

And in Japan, cell-phone is good,too.

It's nomal things which is you can pay(it's like a wallet), watch TV, with Camera and Video, Video phone, can talk 5people in same time(like a video chat), Internet, E-mail, with Game, etc... It's like a small computer. I love Japanese technology!

What will you do? If you were.

Most people aren't thankful for having a full body.
Why? What do you think?
Can you imagine yourself if you don't have a full body and what will you do?

There is a man whose name is "Hirotada Ototake". He was born with no arms and legs. When he was born, he had just his body and head. The cause is unknown. However, he has a good home enviroment, great parents, teachers, and friends. This made it possible to do a lot of things.
For exsample, here is one episode. when he was a junior high school student, he applied to join a basketball club. Of course he couldn't run fast, dribble, and shoot. At that time he had very small arms and legs (each about 10cm). He tried to dribble and he practiced a lot. Then he was able to dribble and he played game with his teammate. Unfortunately, I can't explain his whole story. Now, he is 32 years old and he wrote some books. He sais " I'm happy. Being handicap is inconvenient but not unhappy." in his book. He was broken many walls and he went to "Waseda University(which is a top flight University in Japan)". And now, he has a child and he works at an elementary school as a teacher. He has many abilities.
His books translated in English, Chinese, Koria, and maybe some other language.You can read his books if you want.

Pretty Friends

If I could have a pet which is I can choose from all of the world animals, I'd like to try "Sea otter". Why I say like that? No have reason. It's just they are soooo cute!!However, It's really hard to be pet and they're endangered animal.


Actually, my pet will be a cat or a ferret. They are very cute, quiet and unnecessary for them to take a walk everyday.

A cat is clever and they understand their owner's feeling. One of my pet witch is a cat and she gone, she was always found and came to me when I was sad. Of course she can't speak human's language, but she let my feeling better. I still think of her. She was very good friend.

And a ferret, I had 2 ferret when I was in Japan. They were very funny I had good time with them. they were clever when they tried a mischief.haha.
I think they(specially a cat) have atmosphere that's like a free way of life. And I like that.So, when I live by own, I'll have a cat.

Money of Dream

If I won $10 million in the lotery, the first, I'd like to invite my friends to Japan then show them everything. Next, I would travel around the world for three years. I really want to sightseeing at World Heritage Sites and sometime want to attend to tlavel on a luxury liner because I have no experience at all. Also I would spend the money for repair my tempal( I grew up at tempal), and for my family, and give some charities. If the money left, I would save some money. I know, winning the lottery is very hard. It's a dream.

Convenient and Extraordinary place

Night view of Aichi(Nagoya city)

If you want to LIVE in Japan, I will recommend Aichi prefectural*1. (If you tell me you want to VISIT, I’ll recommend other places.) Aichi is partly rural. There are many hot springs, beaches, mountains, some islands, and a big city. You can relax at the hot springs, play at the beach, go surfing, take a hike and go snowboarding. Aichi has Nagoya city (It’s the third largest city of Japan). This means you can enjoy country life and city life. Their weather is moist and warm. Not like Calgary. It doesn’t get -10 in winter. Normally, around 10 to -5. You don’t need to worry about dry skin and freezing weather. Location is good too. It’s between Tokyo and Osaka. If you want to experience more exciting things, you can go to Tokyo in 2 hours, and if you want to travel, you can go to Osaka and Kyoto in an hour. But, remember that if you don’t want to go, you can enjoy beautiful nature with each season and city life in Aichi. It’s a very convenient place! Oh, don’t worry about getting a job. It’s not as hard as other places. It's the site of the Toyota Morter Corporation. That means there are a lot of jobs. Enjoy your Aichi life! If you live there.

*1 Prefectural : Kind of a province, but a lot smaller. Bigger than a city, but smaller than province.
