I AM the Daijoubu. Just another WordPress.com weblog. February 25, 2009. Posted by mikawika under Uncategorized. Today is all about procrastination. Actually tho, I’ve been a tad productive this week. But I have many writing projects coming up and I’m a bit stalled. Thus, here I am trying to warm the creative embers. On Sunday, I bought the Japanese Manga “日本人の知らない日本語.”. 1 They give me something to talk about with my teachers. 8220;What is this kanji? 8221; “What does this mean? 2 I learn as I read.

Hafu-Life: April 2007
http://hafulife.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
An exploration of Japanese/American culture. Monday, April 23, 2007. Fermented Soybeans or Nattō なっとう (納豆). What’s up with all this Natto hatred among the ex-pats? Did you guys never have okra? BTW eating okra like natto is very good too… Everyone that doesn’t like it state it’s the texture… frankly, I never understand that comment… “So it’s slimy”… it’s good slimy especially on hot rice…. Anyway, I do have a point to this. I know a lot of Japanese people have problems with Natto too. Or give up being ve...

Hafu-Life: Love あい (愛)
http://hafulife.blogspot.com/2007/03/love.html
An exploration of Japanese/American culture. Wednesday, March 28, 2007. Love is overtly complicated in Japanese Culture. Japanese people tend to have an extremely hard time saying the words “I love you”. Unlike America where everyone perhaps overuse the word “Love”, in Japan the word hardly ever uttered. If a Japanese person says they love you, you better be grateful, they don’t say it often. This is especially true of Japanese parents. It’s pretty heavy and pretty unconditional. I think television is re...

Hafu-Life: Abandonment ほうき (放棄)
http://hafulife.blogspot.com/2007/04/abandonment.html
An exploration of Japanese/American culture. Friday, April 6, 2007. Japan hospital sets up drop-off hatch for unwanted babies. I was actually in a movie that showed this when I was little child called “母たることは地獄のごとく 炎の女”. (I’m one of the kids who yells “Mommy, Don’t Die! Frankly, I’m never going to understand how someone could abandon their own child…. When I was growing up, I knew three Japanese mothers who walked out on their kids, including my own. I'm not saying it's a peculiarly Japanese thing, b...

Hafu-Life: Mongolian Spot もうこはん (蒙古斑)
http://hafulife.blogspot.com/2007/04/mongolian-spot.html
An exploration of Japanese/American culture. Monday, April 2, 2007. Mongolian Spot もうこはん (蒙古斑). For some reason in Japan, Mongolian spots are important especially when hafu children are concerned. Mongolian Spot is a birthmark most East Asians get when they are born. It disappears by the time they are about 5. Often thought of as a mark of a Mongol, it’s supposedly a sign that the child is of Mongol decent. I recall my mother’s friend had a boy and he got a Mongolian Spot and how excited the grandf...

Media, Marketing and Culture. Mobile Only TV Channel. November 9, 2011 · 11:02 pm. I truly believe that we have become a developed society because we manage to harness our creativity in a constructive way, and that we are social beings, addicted to connections, just see the popularity of SNS over the world. So when I saw the latest Ad for the Motorola Photon at Japantrends. I was completely blown away. Here is an excerpt of their article, put you should really read the original one: Japantrends.
