Looking back at my JLPT moments
I told myself that I will take the JLPT 1kyuu exam this year, no matter what. Although the original goal is to pass 1kyuu in 2010 (the year of my 30th birthday), I might as well have a go at it this year. I mean, there’s...
Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu!
いい年になりますように～ So, another year has come and gone…and here we are, in 2009. I realized while we were at that street party in Makati that I will be 29 years old this year. What an ugly number. But no matter, at least my 28th was...
Remembering Bento #1 – the lunchbox that started it all
This one here is my very first attempt at a bento, made on Dec. 26th last year. 🙂 As always, it was not for me, harhar. This was for my boyfriend — I had a smaller version. Obviously, he eats more so he needs a lot...
Bento #29: The weekly boyfriend bento goes girly girly!
I have a backlog of my bento posts since last May, and I don’t have plans on posting about my recent ones until I’ve uploaded the old ones. But today, I am breaking that rule, just because I was so happy with how today’s bento...
“Paraiso” on my mind
I found this on YouTube as I was looking for Manny Pacquiao’s vids, and that video of Aiba Masaki’s (or was it Ohno??) visit to the Philippines. Mang Johnny’s boys singing Smokey Mountain’s “Paraiso”!!
JLPT moments and my life as a teacher (so far)
I just learned this morning that I have to be a JLPT 4 proctor tomorrow. And here I was, thinking I could spend one quiet Sunday snoozing all day. OK, maybe not so quiet, because everyone will be watching Manny Pacquiao’s match tomorrow and will...
My students are addicted to nattou — NOT
Last Saturday, I brought some nattou (or “natto”, if you will — however, I am quite anal about romaji so there) for my morning Japanese class. Save for Takumi-san who is part Japanese, everyone has not heard of nattou before. I had 3 small containers...
I crush Sakuraba Yuichiro!
At some point in her life, a girl dreams of marrying a rockstar. I certainly went through that phase, though the man of my dreams wasn’t exactly the average rock or pop star. He is THE Paul McCartney. I know, naive. Anyway, I am watching...
Gackt in my dreams!!
I so didn’t want to wake up this morning. I was dreaming a very strange but beautiful dream. Gackt was in it. He visited me at my grandmother’s house (the one with the dental clinic). After that, he asked me if I was free and...
For my ‘daiji na oshiego’
Last Saturday was the last day for my PM Nihongo class. After the final exams, we had deelish pancit canton from Mushroom Burger c/o Nash-san. ２４日はナシュさんの誕生日でした。I also bought pizza for everyone. As a parting gift, I taught them one of my favorite songs from my...
