japanese celebration

Japan has lots of kinds of celebrations. My favorite one is my b-day lol j/k. my favorite holiday is uminohi.("umi" means osean, "hi" means day)always the day comes, I feel summer and in my home town, miyake island has big festival before the uminohi so that everyone can get rest on the holiday. However, have you ever thought what the uminohi??? What do we celebrate the day for?? Once I thought it's a day to celebrate opning beach but I soon realized it's not because we have umibiraki which let people swim officially in summer.(It doesn't have particular day to celebrate though,)So,today, I'll tell you what actually the UMINOHI is!!!

According to mt dictionary, it says....
It's one of the national holidays on july 20th.
It's legislated in 1955 and has been eforced since 1969 to thank for a blesing from the ocean and hope seafaring nation,japan's prosperity!!

From this year, I'll think about what my dictionaly told me and show ocean my appreciation!

abandoning animals


Animals are not for your toys which make you fun and feel better only when you want to play with them. They also have life as we do. They sometimes tired, sad, happy, or excited. If you want to have an animal as your pet, you should know that you have to have it as your family. The day you have a pet for exsaample, cat, is the day that the cat becomes member of your family.

I feel there are too many people who don't have moral. Why they could even think about abandon their pets???? And actually do?? We should have contract with having pets just like when people marry.(not expecting to divorce of course!!!)For example ask person who buying pet that are you sure you are having him as your family? and make the person write up an agreement. Then, if the person who promised to have a pet broke the contract, they would have to pay a lot. A LOT.
I think because there are voluntvoluntary organization which save abandoned animals, people feel easy to leave their pets. I think it shouud requir to get money from people who come there and leave their pets. Or It is easy, if we see a pet as our family, abandoning pet is leaving your child alone!!! Many people could be arrested for their terrible crimes.

To stop increasing this problem, we should make effective rule as I described above.

marital problem


Increasing number of unmarried men and women are common problem in some countries. Basically, in my opinion, women's status has been grown up and that has made them continue their willing work longer while that also has made them don't want to get married and have a child. I believe it is great thing that women have been working and been regarded equally as men, but I believe beeing a mother, wife is more wonderful work in women's life.

My mother says being mom makes you grow up and stronger than ever. When she got a baby, my older brother, first time, she felt she could do anything for him, she even thought she could give her life insterd of saving him. She became to concern what was good to feed him, what was the best environment for him, etc. She placed him first thing to think about.(She have used to plce herself first.) Becouse of having a baby, she had a lot of thing that she had to abandon what she wanted to do. However she tells me proudly that that made her greatly grow up. She says live for someone, is absolutelly not easy, but that is wonderful. And I am proud of beeing her doughter.

I love my family, I always think I want myown family to be like my family in future. Maybe, I still don't understand how it is for real when the situation get real. But I strongly think that getting married have more benefit and happier life than beeing unmarried.
