Quotes:
Hi! I made this blog because it is the requirement for our Educ 111 class. So I told my teacher that my blog would be about my interest in Japanese.
To be honest, I think my interest is partially caused by my genes. My father likes Japanese. But he never taught me that. And I never share to him my interest and talk about it. I guess I'm just shy towards him. 
So let's get to the point. Why do I like Japanese? I actually do not know the exact answer. 
Now I just wait to discover someone in Cebu who likes Japanese very much. 
Japanese is famous for their ninja. I think that the Japanese move like a ninja. When you finally see where they are located, you chase after them and try to see them. But when you arrive, they just disappear. They're swift, detailed planners, and cautious. And their culture is something to be admired. It seems as if almost every person's mind is the same and that he/she strives for perfection.
Outside they look simple and innocent. But inside their mind something incredible is working on. I often hear from my classmates that Japanese are very weird. But I think their weirdness or exotic qualities is what Japanese charms foreigners.
Here are few things Japan is well known for:
Penis festival or Kanamara Matsuri (April 1)
Bento Box (Horror themed)
Lots of adult videos (They say Maria Ozawa is well known 
)
Walking in a precise manner 
The Japanese especially value tradition and following society's rules and norms. It's because they value group more than individual interest. Their culture is largely influenced by Shintoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism whose common philosophy is that it is man who is responsible for his/her life and that everything around you is a reflection of yourself.
That's so much responsibility, right? 
Even if I like Japanese, there are some aspects I don't really like too. I will explain it later.
3 things I like about Japanese(actually there are many more):
1) Consistent personality/behavior
This Japanese man I met claimed that he is 100% honest. 
He might just have been kidding around to mock me 
But he said he is really strong...
I think if the behavioror personality is consistent, he/she must have thought well about his life and know what he/she really wants and needs in his life! 
2) Language
Japanese tend to hide flaws and negative thoughts. Before they speak up their mind, they think of how to say it aside from what to say.
3) Considerate and have good manners
The guy (Yoshisan) I met above is very courteous (^_^) He did many nice things to me... one is he poured sprite onto my glass!!! I think there has never been any Filipino man who did that to me...
Now we still contact each other even though it's just seldom. But do you know what we just say to each other? It's just
"I love you." 
And this already takes care all of the other questions.
His Japanese friend say we could get married. 
But uugghhh 
I still want to spend time with other men and fill in my 20s with experiences with men 
3 things I don't like about Japanese (of course I generalize this according to the people I met online and offline):
1) Boring to talk with because they don't often joke (they take things seriously!!!)
2) They re naive because in Japan, many people there follow rules, they don't want to cause to inconvenience others.
3) Competitive and sensitive (easily get hurt)
And one of the biggest thing I don't like is:
The is the exclusivity of the Japanese. Because they don't show their true mind and even don't explain it confidently at any time, it can be hard for me to get along with them. They like things simple and clear and they love silence.
Actually, I just categorize this as I don't like because I don't know any other way how to like them or that I can't take the responsibility.
I stop writing now because I will do other things.
I will write another article.
