Life in Japan.

So some of you don’t know that I went to school in Japan from 1st to 5th grade during the summers for about a month and a half.  It was really fun.  I was able to attend a public school that my aunt and mom helped organize for me.  I took the regular classes everyone took.  I was understudied in Japanese literature but I excelled in math.

I also attended baseball practices one year.  It was rigorous.  I wasn’t that great but the experience was good.  We practiced way more than I did in USA.  It was every day after school for 2+ hours and we were only in middle school.  This is why Japan has been winning the Little League World Series the past few years although the lose quite often to USA too.  It’s not fair.  USA is automatically in the World Series because it’s International vs USA. >_<

Anyways, every year before I went on my way back to America, the 40+ students there would each write me a letter.  The teacher bundled those into a book.  Right now, I have two of those books.  I also have a poster from the baseball team.

I made so many memories there.

Yesterday, I read these books with my aunt.  She works at the library right next to the school that I attended so she knows a few of these people really well.  She said these people still ask about me.  That just made my heart spark.  I miss them.  I saw the names on the book and I could match it to the faces.

It was so special to me, that experience to go to Japan for a full 45 days.  I took the regular courses.  It was so fun.  They all liked me especially because I was from America.  I miss it so much.

I have no idea how to contact them.  There’s letters.  There’s Facebook.  There’s also this giant thing called a language barrier.

I asked people.  I don’t think I can fix this “problem.”

Your family is always there for you.

Your family is the group of people given to you at birth.  You don’t get to chose them but there’s this unconditional love.  If you think about it, it’s kinda weird.  They love you because they have to, in a sense.  I’m gonna put this in first-person perspective.

I don’t tell my family a lot of things.  I blog more things than I tell my parents.  But I tell my parents some stuff I don’t blog about.  I don’t tell them everything that they may want to know but they’re always there for me.  I don’t have to tell them how I feel.  They know how I feel.  They’re there for me.

When I need a ride somewhere, my dad’s always willing to take me.  I wonder how he feels when I don’t hang out with him, but with my friends instead.  When my parents get angry at me, they don’t apologize.  They know I get better.  My friends try to say sorry over and over.  They don’t know that I just need time.  Or maybe it’s just different with my parents.  They just know me, since they’ve been with me for my whole life.

Oops, I’m switching to second-person perspective.

They’re not like your friends.  Your friends might make you happy.  But when you’re hungry, they’re not the ones that feed you.  When you’re cold, they’re not the ones that give you a roof.  They know how you feel and they care for you.  They’re always there for you, whether you need them or not.

It’s unconditional love.

12/09/09. Piano; Swim; Independence Tournament.

Today, I wore my new purple sweater.  It looks way better with my darker sweats.  So I’m failing English once again.  I failed my PreCalculus test too.  I’m gonna end up with 5 A’s and 2 B’s.  I just hope I can maintain my grades.  I don’t think I can get an A in English so screw that.

I should start doing more of my homework at school.  I have a lot of free time so I should just do it.  But I get lazy and there’s too many people talking around me.  I’ll work on it.

Piano was fun.  My teacher and I worked on duets.  It was cool.  She gave me a Bach book and there’s songs that I can work on.  Then swimming came.  I didn’t wanna get in.  I got in and warmed up.  After that, we did some relays.  It was fun.  We kept making fun of Abhi.  Haha, he’s the joke of the team. (=

I went to the Independence Tournament next to the pool after swimming and I met up with Justin.  Bellarmine was destroying Cupertino even without Olugbode.  I think the final score was 61-38.  Cupertino has too many Asians.  The Independence team looked really good.  They were tall and they looked intimidating.

I need to plan my days better.  I need to find time for the computer and my homework equally.

Thanks for the follow, freshman. (=

You’re very welcome. I’m a very cute freshman, tho. HAHA.

Errr. o_o Okay that’s nice.  How did you find me?  Remember, don’t spam people’s Tumblrs! Facebook or AIM por favor.

@estraproductions

Thanks for the follow, freshman. (=

Wth, so I was off Tumblr for 24 hours and there's only 2 pages of blogs.

IT FEELS SO GOOD. <3

Full Tuition.

So I heard how people at Bellarmine get 90% to 100% Financial Aid, which is basically the amount paying for their tuition.  They also get free food, free transportation, and free books.

That’s a lot of money to be given to by the school that other people are working hard for.  It’s not really fair.  Some families are working harder than others but everyone’s getting the same opportunity to be educated at Bellarmine.  Think about it.  Imagine you had to pay $100 a day while someone next to you got everything equal for only $5.  That’s not really fair.

But while some are working hard to get their kids in school, some are just working hard to keep their house intact and food to the family.  I guess it’s fair.  It’s not really fair.  But America is a nation of chance and opportunity.  It gives the less fortunate families an opportunity to send their kids to a school like this and a future.

Give everyone a chance, but is it right?

12/08/09. School; Percussion; Relatives Over.

I guess I’ll start writing about my days in two or so paragraphs each.  Today was a dress up day but I didn’t have to dress up because I was in percussion and I was missing the liturgy.  But I dressed up.  I wore a black dress shirt and I wore a white sweater over it.  The black dress shirt was covered in lint when I decided to look at it.  After 1st period, I took it off and we headed off the Mayer Theater at SCU to soundcheck.

I felt pretty relaxed there.  I texted Audrey and played cards.  I was planning on doing homework but I got barely any of that done.  I ate my delicious lunch though.  I think this year, our percussion concert isn’t as good as the ones last year.  I don’t know why.  It just is.

I walked outside because it was cold and the doors were locked from outside.  So I had to ask Andy Lu to open the door, and he gladly did it without any jerk moves.  Thanks!

I got home and saw my grandma and my aunt.  My aunt got me a purple hoodie and I like it.  My grandma gave me $450+.  They kinda annoyed me though.  Everyone other than my sister and I are perfect Japanese people.  They understand everything.  I didn’t get something so I asked and they just continued on with their conversation.  It pissed me off so I went to do my homework.

I’m glad they came this week though.  They get to see two things that are extra curricular that I’m good at and I like: Swimming and Music.

Concert later.  Easy week continues.

The Same Old Phoenix Suns

Out-running and gunning with one of the highest offensive tempos in the league… 
Same old Suns.

2nd highest in the league PPG average… 
Same old Suns.

18 of their first 21 games with more than 100 points… 
Same old Suns.

Unable to thwart Phil Jackson’s tempo-slowing defense in two losses against L.A… 
Same old Suns.

Unable to defeat any team with playoff intensity, including the NBA Superpowers the Phoenix Suns wish they were (L.A., Orlando, Cleveland, excepting Boston)…

Same old Suns.
