Very busy week




This week very busy.
Saturday afternoon I baked some chocolate chip cookies and it was gone under a day. hehehe. I baked quite a bit. So I think I need to bake a little bit more.


Sunday was Church. Ouchi's place was what I expected a normal japanese family would have. Very small and nice. My homestay house is very big for Japanese people. Well Church was fun because it was nice and small everyone was inviting. After that we went to a small old area in Kurashiki. It was very nice. A wedding was taking place there. Very interesting to see. Than we returned home.


Monday was very slacking though. It was the last day of testing. Tuesday was very long and tiring. I had to be at school at 7:30 for a trio sax rehearsal. Of course I went by bicycle alone this time. Than at 8:00 was off to Kurashiki. We arrived at Kurashiki Minami Highschool. Where there was another highschool there as well in which I forgot their name. Sorry. There we rehearsed as sectionals first. Those clarinet players are really really really really did i say really good? It was an hour of constant pitch, tunning. Than it went to scales and everything. After than an hour of rehearsing the piece which is African Symphony. A really beautiful piece I love it. Than after 2 hours of rehearsing it was time for singing rehearsal of Over the rainbow. IN japanese of course. That was of course an hour. LUnch time was next. Than more clarinet pitch and tunning rehearsal for an hour. Finally the whole band together rehearsing. It was really good. I loved it. That went on for 3 hours. Finally returned back to Ibara and I returned back home at around 6:30. It has started to become darker each day. By the tuesday was really a holiday but we had rehearsal. It was a holiday because the day is half and half.
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday was the same. Went to school at 7:00 and returned home at about 6:00 to 6:30 ish. MOrning is Saxophone practice. Afternoon is Clarinet practice. than after 5 is more sax or piano or Clarinet. Classes are shorten for Festival preparation. I am playing piano and Clarinet. Helping out with the cafe and maybe doing a dance. I got my band uniform it is quite cute. Anyways today is my relax day. Tomorrow at 2:00 is my homestay sister's band performance. 2 hours of music. Going to be fun fun fun. But I find the middle school band a lot better than our highschool band. Yet our highschool band rarely practices together. Mostly self practicing and than once or twice a week we get together and rehearse. Sometimes very well sometimes not so well.
Well that's news from me...
IT'S Been a month already. I survived the first month. Next month is going to get harder....but hey that is my last name. hahaha

Jeju Island

Last weekend, my friend and I and her family went to Jeju island. Since my friend and I still have school we decided to only stay for 2 nights and 3 days. Her family was going to stay a couple more days than us. However, first we arrived in Jeju at around noon and met the tour guide. Since there was 6 of us all together one of us had to sit in the back. My friend's sister did it on the first day. Once we arrived, we wanted lunch and we ate some galbitang. Galbitang is basically rib soup? or beef soup? They stick a piece of meat in a soup and you add salt and pepper to your own desire. It's very bland without salt and pepper and without all the side dishes they provide you. Since my friend's parents are not good with the spicy foods. Galbitang was good but it took a lot of time to eat. On the way to our pension or resort house thing?, or the place we were going to stay over at, we stopped by the beach and took some pictures. The view was beautiful and the color of the ocea...

M! Countdown + JJ PROJECT!!!

So... today. I decided to not go to class at all because I needed to see JJ Project's debut stage in person. Yes. I went to see this performance in person. It was completely worth it! JJ Project had a pre-recording, so it was nice to have their debut stage with only their fans. The time that was indicated on their fan cafe was at 9:30 but my friend and I came at around 8:30am. We got our numbers after sending in our names to the fan manager and I was originally number 15 but when it was time to line up again at 11:00, I was pushed up to number 11! We were given blue JYP wrist bands and the fan managers wrote our numbers on it. They also handed out the fan chants, a temporary large JJ Project banner AND they handed out a stamp card. The stamp card is really motivating me to go and see them for every performance. I brought my own and good thing we were allowed to use them. (Since some fan clubs are more anal about it then others.)    We got inside around 11:30 but we ...
