I believe superstitons, especially with money

In Japan, there are lots of superstitons about money

People say a Gold colored wallet can save money, but red one can’t:(  and also have lots receipt in wallet is bad.

In addition many peoples believe that having a snake’s in wallet is good.

This picture is of an  ornament called “Manekineko” 

This cat which is raising it’s right hand brings good luck of money.

I don’t know why but It’s very interesting to me.

If I could save lots money, I’ll do all these things lol

 I think we are creatures who imagine whose future. And I think we couldn’t live if we don’t have our past. So, I believe the future and the past are elements of humans.

 The past is variety of experience. Sometimes, I feel sadness remembering the past, and sometimes I feel happiness. It is different for each human when they meet happiness, sadness, and so on. They have a very deep mean. It is experience. You are taught by your past, for example your ability, your possibility, and your character. It is very important. I can live future, because I have lots of my experience.

 If I don’t know my past, I couldn’t live my future. I’m not a baby. The dreams I had when I was a child have changed.

 We have to choose our future.I want you to choose the best future for me. When you choose your future direction, you should remember experience.

I believe it is important to have a lot of experiences when you are young, for example, traveling to foreign countries, participating in some volunteer activities, trying new activities and so on. 

There are two reasons. FIrst, now I am a university student and have much time for myself. So, it is easy to try what I want to do. Second, to have some experiences is make me grow and also shows me my mistakes. I have made mamy mistakes. When I did, I was sad and felt regret but I learned many things from it and I also thought “I”ll never do it.” Failure when you are young helps you use the experience next time.

I ‘m going to participate in a volunteer activity this summer. I think this experience will help me grow.

I believe in religion. Now, there are many religions such as Christianity, Buddhism and Islam all over the world. Obirin university is Christianity.  I believe in it also.  When I was a child, I went to a Catholic Kindergarten. Every morning and before meals, I always prayed to God and said “amen”. I have believed in God would help me since I was a child. Fortunately Obirin has Chapel Hour. There we can hear good ideas related to the Bible. I think it is a good opportunity to think about God.
When I went to Paris, I experienced a Mass in “Notre-Dome”. Many French and people from other countries were there. It was a moving sight. Many people believe in God.

I will be 20 years old this year. Its considered to be adult in Japan. I have lived by now without big matter.

Sometimes, I think all of my life is fate. I was born in Tokyo, and now I am university student. I have a great family and relative. I have met many people by now. All of them gave me some influence. I think all of things is an accident, but it is fate. I have impressed apecific news, music, scenecy and of course people. Its because of I was born in this generation.

“Ichigoichie(????)” is compound word. That means everything as if it were a once in a lifetime chance. It is my favorite word and I always keep my side. I meet someone, and possibly I will never have meet again. I think all encounter is fate, So I want to feel precious.

I was born in Laos. Many Laotians are buddist. But for me, I think I believe in Buddism and Christianity.

Believing in two religions is not a problem for me, because I can learn the good points from each religion. I do believe in Buddism same as my parents. We always went to the temple to pray on new year day. We payed our respects and pray to Budda images at the temple, and we also have one at home. So, we can pray by ourself at home when we dont have time. But, I also believe in Christianity. The reason why i can say that i believe in Christianity is when I was a child I sometimes went to church on Sunday to pray, and also went to celebrate Christmas every year. Beside, everytime when I wish things to become true, I always pray and look up to the sky and say ” PLEASE” . Which means ” God please help me”, and it always comes true.
