The day when meaning of Nadeshiko is changed.

I cry. When I see the picture even now that 24 hours passed from that event.

They really made it.

Sawa,32,the captain of the team, kept saying "We would not give up until the game was over" and she has never.

Before penalty shootout,they were smiling. They tried to be relaxed? or too overwhelmed? I'm not sure but it seemed they were savoring that precious moment.

Since yesterday,for me, the meaning of Nadeshiko has been changed.
It means "woman who is strong-willed though tiny and modest."
and..
"make her dream realized."

team Nadeshiko.

Someone call them Samurai sisters. But they are called "Nadeshiko Japan."

So,they are Japan's women soccer team.
When the representative team was called,this nickname was given. It came from Japanese term "Yamato Nadeshiko",personification of an idealized Japanese women.
Yamato is an ancient name for Japan and Nadeshiko is a Japanese name of dianthus.
It is a word for describing modest and neatness woman. It is kind of old word though.

The team has been great on this World Cup. It is like we are dreaming but it is true. It might be controversial but they watch the disaster video of 311(March 11) before the game then made sure that they fought for the people in Japan who suffer and struggle from those sircumstances.

Now,they are going to face the Queens on Sunday (Monday 3am on Japanese time.)

Don't even..

It was the dashboard showed the temperature of outside.

The rainy season was already over which was earlier than usual.Summer has come.

I was a good off-day morning. I went for walking to my favorite park.Then I watched MLB All Star game. (you know,your night is my morning.)

I thought I would run around or do some exercise. But that was a stupid idea because it was too hot out there. Since rainy season was over,it was really hot everyday and many people got sick from heat.

So,don't even think about it.

make a wish

It is July 7th, Tanabata or the star festival day in Japan today.
According to a legend,two lovers, who are separated by the Milky Way, are allowed to meet 7th day of July.

There's a custom that people write their wishes on small pieces of paper and hanging them on bamboo.

Did I make a wish? I did.

Welcome to the humid world.

In the middle of the rainy season,it is 92F and 30% humidity today.
It is like you are vegetable in the food steamer.

High humidity is not good for health because sweat doesn't evaporate which makes your body difficult to regulate body temperature. I always feel tired or heavy under this condition.

But,there's a quite good deal. Moisturizing! Everytime I wash my hands,I feel my skin is covered with cream.

Well,what do you think?
