Different Behaviors between Men and Women

In Japan, we can see differences of behavior in our daily life as well as physical differences between men and women. Below are two examples which describe different behaviors between men and women.
First example is different way to solve a problem. When men have a problem, they consider it and try to find solutions. On the other hand, women don’t only think about a problem, but also express their feeling or thoughts to others. While men usually always expect to find solutions of a problem, women like to discuss it with someone who can hear and respond to them although they don’t always find solutions or answers from the discussion. Men don’t think it meaningful to just discuss a problem without fixing it.
Second example is different word choices. Whereas men tend to express only a main point directly in conversation, women are apt to bring in their feelings or emotion into conversation. Because of this characteristic, women need a while before they reach a main point which they primary want to convey. In addition to such different way to tell a main point, there are some words which are usually used only by men and those which are used only by women. For instance, many men in Japan often use a word “Ofukuro”, whose meaning is “Mother” in English. However, women usually never say “Ofukuro”, and if they use this word, they may be regarded as masculine.

30Days Straight/Gay

2005-12-12T02:23:00.000+09:00

This time, we watched "30Days" about a straight man and a gay man in Scott's class. The straight man named Ryan had to live with the gay man, Ed, for 30 days. Ryan is Christian and
he thought homosexuallty was sin and immoral because the Bible says so. First, he was anxious about living with Ed, and Ed also worried about recieving his new room mate. Since fundamentally their ways of thinking about homosexuallty were totally different, Ryan felt uncomfortable with his new life with Ed. However, he gradually understood Ed as he spent most times of a day with him and knew his parsonality. Then Ryan's stereotype and prejudice against homosexuallty were diminished by degrees.
I thought to meet Ed's family had big inflience on Ryan and gave him opportinity to know gay men or lesbians from different points of view. He must have realized that Ed was also an important member, son of his family as Ryan was, and his way to regard gay men and lesbians as immoral changed.
I've never had friends who are gay or met such people, so I'm not sure how I would react to them if I see gay men or lesbians for the first time. But I don't want to discriminate or have prejudice against them. It is natural that everone has different opinons and feelings toward one thing. Homosexuals just have different opinons toward loving a person.
Before I watched this, I guessed that Ed whould fell in love with Ryan...but it didn't happen. And one question came into my mind...There are many homosexual people in human world, then, how about in non-human animals world??? I really want to know the answer to this question...

★Super Size Me★

2005-11-21T03:06:00.000+09:00

In the movie "Super Size Me", a man named Morgan trys to eat only at McDonald's for 30 days. In this movie, I was able to find many surprising facts and diet problems to be thought and solved in the U.S. Surprisingly, more than 100,000,000 Americans (60%of all American adults) are fat or obese. Moreover, the second biggest cause of preventable death is obesity in the U.S. I was aslo so astonished at images of obese people in the movie that I couldn't help saying "Wow! I can't believe that!" In Japan, I can seldom see such obese people like in the movie. I've once seen such a person on a Keihan Train, and he was a conductor of the train. You may have chance to see him!
While I was watching this movie, I thought that many American people pay little attention to food they eat eveyday. Although they know fast food contains many fat, salt, and food additives which harm their body, they don't stop eating them because of their cheapness and convenience.
In American schools, students can choose their lunch by themsives freely, and most of them pick foods which contains much fat, sugar, salt, and thay are not well-balanced. The school only leave them. Students can eat what thay want to, and may be satisfied with them, however, is it really good for their body and mind?? NO! I think schools have a duty to teach their student how important to eat well-balanced meals and offer such nice foods. The U.S. need better education for diet, I think.
I also think it is not good idea that some American people sued fast food companies because of their fatness. Of cource, it is fact that many fast food companies offer foods not good for our health, however, such people don't forced to eat fast food but eat them by thier choice. For me, people who acuused fast food companies seems to try to shift the blame to the companies.
Thanks to Morgan, I was able to realize importance of well-balanced, hearty food to maintain healthy body and live actively everyday. His life span might shorten because of this hard challenge.....!! I want to care about my daily eating habit and improve bad points for my better life.

Connotation

2005-11-17T13:27:00.000+09:00

Japanese has some words which describe the meaning of "eat", and each of them has different proper situations to be used.
First, "Taberu" is neutral word whose meaning is "eat", which don't have both possitive meaning and negative meaning. We often use this word and it is the most usual way.
Next, "Itadaku" is possitive and polite word which are used mostly when we are in formal situation and should be decent. For example, when we are invited to dinner by our bosses at fashionable resaurant, we had better use this word "Itadaku", like "Gochisou wo itadaku"→”I eat a banquet” in English. Not only just being polite, this word also can express our feelings of gratitude to people who make us meals or who treat us to nice meals.
Last, a word which have negative meaning of "eat" in Japanese is "Kuu." This word is often used by men. If we hear a woman use this word, we feel that woman would be coarse. We shouldn't use this word when we have to behave politely, but we are able to use "Kuu" between familiar relationships. When we eat lunch with our friends, this word can be accepted.
While I was making this posting, I realized that there are many descriptions whose basic meaning is same but give different impression to us in Japanese ☆

♪My Cute Cousin♪

2005-11-16T23:56:00.000+09:00

I have a very cute three-year-old girl cousin named Honoka★ She is really cheerful, speaks a lot, now goes to preschool, and has two older sisters who is now 18(or 19) and 20! She is so active that she often falls down and hurts the top of her small nose and applys a Band-Aid on her nose :-) She likes to eat sweets and always tries to get as many sweets as she can even when she already has enough, in other words, she is greedy!...like me♪ Lately, she likes to play house or play at keeping a shop. Sometimes she rides her tricycle and behaves as if she was a mother who goes shopping to buy vegetables or fruits such as carrots or oranges. She also sometimes acts a salesgirl who tries to sell candys. It is very funny to see her playing like that, and such her plays reminds me of my young days like Honoka. I also loved to play house♪
Do you like young children like her??
（I wanted to show you her cute pictures on my blog, but somehow I couldn't! 　So, I'll show you them someday!）

★☆An Enjoyable Test☆★

2005-11-15T23:54:00.000+09:00

I want to give you one amusing test (or game?) which may tell you your real in-depth feelings which even you don't know. This kind of tests are called "Shinri Test" in Japanese, which means "the test which would show your real and unaffected feelings."

I don't know whether this kind of tests or games exist in other countries, but in Japan, they are very popular and many books about only such amusing tests have been published. When I was in junior high, my freinds and I were really absorbed in this kind of tests. I still like this and sometimes I do this kind of tests which are on magazines or on some Websites.

Q1, Suppose a transfer has come in your classes or your offices, and he/she has only one fault. What do you think is his/her fault??

A1, The fault came into your mind is your fault which you don't want to be known by your boyfriends/girlfriends or people with whom you are in love.

Were your answers really what you don't want to be found by people who you love? If you are interested in such tests and want to try other tests, I will give you more♪

What is intelligence???

2005-11-15T02:04:00.001+09:00

☆Intelligence Inventory☆

#3 Do you think intelligence is fixed at birth, or is it constantly changeing?

I think intelligence is constantly changing. Of course, we inherit some characteristics or talents from our ancestor, however, inheritence isn't the only existence which determine our intelligence. Progress of our intelligence has much to do with environment which we belong to, and how we make effort or work hard to improve our weak points or overcome difficulties. We can progress everyday by knowing different way of thinking or coping with problems through reading books, participating classes, watching movies...and other beneficial experience. However, I feel it depends on individuals wether he/she can learn and be influenced positively by each experience and grasp opportunity to improve themselves or not. In other words, how much he/she can learn is dependent on their ability to feel delicately, think deeply, and make efforts for their goals, which may be fixed at birth.

#4 If intelligence is more than one characteristic, what are the other factors?

First, I think ability to think and feel deeply is one form of intelligence. People who can see, think and ponder one thing from some different points of view can have a lot of feelings and information, and use such information for next progress for themselves. Ability to make use of knowledge or experience effectively which a person already have is also excellent intelligence, I think. If we can put useful experience to good account when we have to solve problems or overcom difficulties, we can do it very efficiently. Ability to behave and cope with troubles appropreately by judging the situation immediately is also included in intelligence.

#7 Why do some people of seemingly average intelligence achieve extraordinary success?

The best condition of such extraordinary can be given when a person meets people, environments, or moments which bring his/her inner intelligence fortunately, and this condition in essential and fundamental factor for such success. We are often evaluatedour level of intelligence gy examinations in school and if someone got good grades on the test, we tend to think he/she must be talented. However, there are many forms of intelligence which can't be described as scores, and I think people of not outstanding intelligence have potential inner intelligence which isn't evaluated by others. Once such people meet opportunity to belong to the best condition (mentioned above), their unknown talents appear, and if they make efforts eagerly in order to improve their intelligence, excellent success may be achieved.

☆My Birthday☆

2005-11-14T22:33:00.000+09:00

November 5th was my 19 th birthday♪　I went to my freiends', twin sisters' house on Nov 4, and in the evening, we went to KansaiGaidai Festival for a few hours, then went to near Hirakatashi Station , and there sisters bought me a nice birthday cake! After that, we went back their home and made gratin for dinner. It was very delicious! After eating dinner, my friends lighted 19 candles and I blew out them. Cake was also delicious and I was really glad that they celebrated my birthday although it was the day before my birthday, and I had a good time with them.
Next day (my birthday), I had a part time job in the evening, and I really regreted that I had to work even on my birthday....however, surprisingly, my co-workers gave me three pieces of cake! I didn't know they had such a surprise for me. How kind they are...(;_;)
I also had to work on Nov 6...but amazing thing happened again. Another my co-worker also brought a nice cake for me!! How kind she is (;o;)!
Thanks to their kindness and hearty presents, I was able to have a nice birthday and may put on weight....!!

2005-10-17T06:41:00.000+09:00

This movie is about strong love between a couple. The main characters in this movie are Henry Roth, who is an animal doctor working in an aquarium in Hawai, and Lucy Witmore who is a local in Hawaii. Henry had a habit to date with a lot of women who visited Hawaii for sightseeing and spent very short time with each women, this is called island fling. Lucy is so beautifl that once Henry sees her in a cafe he fell in love with her. Henry talked to her and they enjoyed talking and promised to eat breakfast at te same place next morning. However, Lucy totally seemd to be a different person. She didn't remember Henry. Why? Because she lost the short term memory bcause of the terrible car accident on October 13th. She did't remember what have been happend after the accident. Lucy's father and broher worked hard to make the exactly same day for Lucy. Every day was father's birthday. Every day was October 13th.

If I were Henry, I coudn't love Lucy as he did. Every day I'm stranger for her. Maybe I can't overcome such big big difficulty. If there were a man like Henry in the world, I really want to meet!

"30days-Minimum Wage"

2005-09-30T13:22:00.000+09:00

1, Beforoe I watched this program, I know little about poverty in U.S.. However, after watching "30 days", I was able to learn some parts of real lives of poor people in Amarica, and also surprised at seriousness of poverty. One of my surprise is existence of "Free Store" or "Free Clinic." I think such institutions are helpfull for the poor, but it's not enough for them to live confortable. If I were forced to live on the equivalent of minimum wage, maybe I could do for 2 weeks or so....but not forever! In addition, If I had kids and had to support myself and them, we couldn't survive. However, there are really such people in U.S and all over the world. I feel that we should know more about the poor and their suffering, and study what help or social system are needed for such kind of people.

2, If I put myself in a situstion of street child, I would really feel sad,lonely, hungry and unconfortable. Their lives are completely different from mine. I eat everyday, go to school everyday, have a home to go back. However, street children don't. Then I would want to cry,"Why I have to be alone? Where are my parents? Where is my place to live happily?" At the same time, however, I would notice how happy and confortable my present life is, and realize the importance of people or things support me.

Unique Japanese Way of Beckoning

2005-09-29T13:28:00.000+09:00

One of the unique gestures in Japan is a way of beckoning. In Japan, when people want to beckon, they flap the hand up and down at the wrist with the palm down with a waving motion.
This gesture is used by both men and women regardless of age. However, Japanese often use this gesture to our friends or people who are familiar with, not to their superiors or elders because it is considered impolite to beckon in this way to such people.

Although this gesture is very common in Japan, if you use this to Westerner, they may not realize that they are being beckoned. They may, rather, become unconfortable or get angry with you, and say or feel, "You are rude!!" This is because this gesture means that "Go away!!" in Western country.

My reaction to Hurricane Katrina

2005-09-21T15:24:00.000+09:00

At first, I was surprised at images of terrible damage in New Orleans, a number of fatalities, and the fact that there are still serious problems of poverty, race, and class in America. I think a lack of well understanding about poor people, and problems of race and class are parts of the reason why such a number of people died, are still suffering from big damage caused by Katrina. I hope that more people get to understand the reality of the poors' life in New Orleans from this disaster and tragic damage. I also want to know more about such kind of people and think what should we do for these people.

What is HAPPINESS???

2005-09-12T01:16:00.000+09:00

Q.１ What do friends mean to your happiness?

Friends are essential for me to live brightly. When I am depressed or have some serious problems, my gentle friends listen to my worries and give me warm and helpful advice. Thire existence and kindness is one of my important source to be positive and get over difficulties. Not only when I am sad, also when I feel happy or enjoy doing something, I can share my pleasure with my friends and laugh together. Friends' smiles increase my happy feeling☆☆☆ Moreover, my friends who work hard for thire goals or have a firm resolution and act possitively give me courage for trying something I've never experienced!
These good influence of friends on me satisfy my mind , and leads to my happiness♪

Q.２ What is your vision of a satisfying job?

In my opinion, a job that satisfies me includs a field which I want to do or I can put my specialty and knowledge to account. If I will be able to use my strong points in my job, I would be freshly and feel less stress while working. I think relationship between people who work together in a office is also important element for a satisfying job. The better the human relations are, the more I can take pleasure in my work and feel happy in working with such nice fellows♪♪ In addition, how much $money$ I can earn is important, too. Even if I can use my good points in the job with wonderful colleagues, if pay is too low, I wouldn't be satisfied with the job. I hope I will be able to do such a perfect job in the future.....☆☆☆

Q.３ What would it take to make you happy now?

Eating delicious foods, chatting with my friends, sleeping enough, getting a good grade, going shopping, seeing beatiful scenes, visiting places which I've never visited before.....all these things make me happy now. However, above all, having a pleasant time with my family is the best thing to satisfy my mind and make me happy now☆ Because now I live apart from my family, I sometims worry about their health. However, when I go back to my home and see their fine appearance and smiles, my worry disappears soon. Every time I come back home, my dog Minnie waggle its tail and welcome me from the bottom of her heart :-)! Her cuteness really increase my happy feeling♪　I'm looking foward to seeing them soon again♪♪♪

Trip to Okinawa

2005-09-12T01:02:00.000+09:00

I visited Ishigaki Island in Okinawa with my aunt and cousins for 5 days during this summer vacation♪♪The weather in this island was soooo hot and humid. There are clear blue sky, beautiful vivid blue and emerald green sea, many deep green mountains and trees, and cute red and pink hibiscus. The natural beauty of this island made me feel as if I was in a foreign country!! Not only Ishigaki Island, we also visited Panari Island and Taketomi Island.
In Panari Island, we swimed in the beautiful sea with snorkel. The seawater was so clear that we could see a lot of cute colorful fishes. Especially, we were very happy to be able to see natural Nemo, which I had seen only in the movie "Finding Nemo"♪
In Taketomi Island, there were beautiful white sandy roads and many one-story houses whose roofs are light orange and are enclosed with stone walls . This is a traditional way of building a house in this region. A holiday atmosphere and heartwarming scenes of this island made me feel time passed very slowly and really relax me. I love this island very much!
The night before last day, we went to see ☆stars☆ to the place where there was nobody, no house, and no light. Innumerable stars were out over the black sky.....that scene is unforgettable!
5 days passed very soon, however, we really enjoyed our visiting. This trip broadened my horizons and is precious memory. I want to visit these Islands again someday☆☆☆

♪Summer Vacation♪

What countries do you want to visit and why??
Besides visiting Okinawa, I want to do something special which will make this summer vacation be full of memories and unforgettable! How are you going to spend this looong time?? Do you have any good plan to enjoy this summer??

☆Fireworks☆

2005-07-18T21:28:00.000+09:00

I've just been to see the fireworks in Tenpozan in Osaka city with my aunt and 3-year-old girl cousin! I saw many women wore their cute YUKATA♪ There were many tipe of fireworks, for example, sparkling big gold one, star shaped one, fan shaped one and so on! They were so beautiful, however, I regret that I couldn't see them near the place where fireworks really shot up...but! there are still some fireworks display left in this summer vacatioin, such as fireworks near Yodogawa, PL fireworks!! Are you going to go to some summer festivals or fireworks displays in this summer vacation??

My Hometown Sasayama

2005-07-17T21:52:00.000+09:00

I'm now in Sasayama city in Hyogo prefecture, my hometown, since Friday evening! The air in my home town is really clean and totally different from the one in Osaka!! Not only clean, it has a little country smell! It is difficult to explain how it smells, but I think maybe this smell comes from the weeds, fields and so on. This freshness and confortable smell relax me very much!
Since I live in my grandmother's home in Osaka city for commuting to my university, I often wonder if my family and my dog are fine or not...because of this worry, I go back to Sasayama at least twice a month. So I'm now very happy to meet my family and dog, and they are totally fine!! However, my dog seems to suffer from summer heat...poor Minnie...!(+_+;)
By the way, are you (who live alone) going to go back to your home town whole this summer vacation?? How will you spend this vacation with your family??

★Summer Sale★

2005-07-16T13:06:00.000+09:00

I went shopping with my IES-B friend Lingfang to HEP last Saturday! There were too many people in the shop, and almost every people were young women. At first, we were fine and walked around the shop as talking cheerfully. However, as we kept walking for choosing good clothes, we were getting tired and couldn't walk fast. At last, we became expressionless and walked very slowly as if we were old women. Our legs were crying, "we can't move any more(;_;) !!" Although shopping made us get exhausted and deprived our youthfullness, we were able to get some nice clothes♪ Did you already go to a summer sale??

The Continuance of Blurb of My Experience

2005-07-06T01:01:00.000+09:00

I am happy that some people seems to be interested in blurb of my experience, so I will tell you the continuance♪♪ When I was totally at a loss what should I do to escape safely from the dangerous situation and the strange young man, a boy who wore the same school uniform as mine suddenly appeared. He said to the man, "What are you doing here?" The man answered, "I lost my way...and I am asking her （←me）if she can ride my car together because I am uncertain wether Ican get to the destination... " A boy replied, "You cannot do that! You had better ask another person!" The man said, "OK..." At last, he abandoned and left by his car. I felt relief and was really thankful for his help! I might not have went back home safely if he had not help me. He was very dependable. However, not only dependable, he was also very very gentle! He kindly saw me near my house as riding bike slowly... I had never met such a kind boy...!! Although he didn't become my boyfriend, I nearly fell in love with him at that time
(#^^#)...haha★ Is the continuance of this story close to what you expected??

Blurb of My Experience

2005-06-05T01:12:00.000+09:00

I was 17. One day I was riding a bike in the evening. Then a young man who was riding his car approached to me slowly and asked me the way to a certain building. I directed him and thought he understood. But the moment I began to leave, he said,
"I am uncertain if I can get to there...so can you get into my car with me??"
『He must be dangerous...!』 I refused, but he wouldn't accept my refusal.
『I have to run away ! But...what should I do if he will chase me by his car??』
Suddenly at that time, a boy who was a student in the same high school appeared in front of us and...

♪Mokomichi♪

2005-06-03T00:47:00.000+09:00

Last Sunday, I went to my school although that day was a holiday. This is because there was the Hayami Mokomichi's talk show! He is a Japanese actor who is becoming popular among young people. Do you know him?? or Have you ever seen him appering on TV??
The moment I saw him on the stage, I got really excited and surprised because he was very tall and his size of face was soooo small!! In addition, he looked very cool in spite of putting on simple clothes. I thought, "I have to take his picture! This time is the first and last chance☆" Though we were not allowed to take a picture, I kept trying stealthily. After all I could only take some cloudy pictures...(；_；) Some lucky students could get his autograph and be taken a photo with him★ I was unlucky student...I envy them(>△<；)! However, I had a very good time♪♪

★☆I love soccer☆★

2005-05-25T23:09:00.000+09:00

I really really like watching soccer games, especially I love to cheer Japan varsity on TV(＞▽＜)♪♪ Every time I cheer them, I concentrate my all atention on TV and shout! Like"GO GO!!!!!", "OH～～GOOD JOB!!!!!" and so on...(●＾～＾●). My favorite soccer player is Sinji Ono☆ I love him very much because he is fantastic and wise soccer player and his smile is soooooooo cute♪♪♪ His drooping eyes are so charming and look gentle. Sadly, he has already been married...in addition, he has a baby girl...☆ I really envy his wife♪
Although I am stuck on them(Japan varsity) so much , Ⅰ've never been to studiams to watch and cheer them, of course, I've never seen Ono(；_；) However, I wanna see him playing soccer and his cute smile someday!! Next year, the World Cup Socer will be held in Germany, so I hope to go...☆★ ....But I have to save a lot of money(＋_＋;)!! First of all, I need to find a part-time job! I wish my dream will come true☆☆☆

This title means "Hello!"or"Hi!" in Spanish♪　I learn Spanish at Kansaigaidai as a second foreign language, and I have difficulty with studying it...(；△；)!! It seems more complex to me compared with English, and there are some big differences between Spanish and English or Japanese. For example, there are male nouns and female nouns, and male nouns and female nouns have a different article(冠詞). Articles and adjectives also have the plural form.......these rules sometimes bother me, however, I wanna get used to study it graually, be able to speak Spanish as well as English, and travel to Spain with my friends someday (●＾▽＾●)♪

What languages can you speak or do you learn besides English and Japanese?? If you can speak more than 2 languages, are you confused dealing with them???

A small pepy water drop wandared the dark, narrow, and fumel road.

He found the bluny light over the darkness.

Suddenly, he was swallowed up by glanexy Wave.

"Where is here?" "Where is Mather?"

Tarolly stones and foobey avoyed and attaced him.

"Where is here?" "Where is Mother?"

All at once julious brilliant light jumped into his eyes.

Kanel calm salty water covered his body softly.

"Here is home." "She is Mather."

His mind was satisfied with happiness.

There are 3 people who can predict what will occur next, and He(Tom) and his partners can prevent past crimes from occuring by picking their(prognosticator's) brains. We couldn't see all of the story because we had to attend class, so I want to see the rest of the story soon!! If you know some movies which you want to recommend, please tell me☆☆
