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

[REVIEW/FAN ACCOUNT] Xia Junsu Solo Concert

This is a review. A very laid back open personal review on the concert... maybe I should actually call it a fan-account... but I am going to be critical about it so... I shall call it a review. A review on Kim Junsu or Xia Junsu's solo concert. Yes. Anyways we arrived at around 2:30 at the venue and there were a lot of people already. Never underestimate Junsu fans. First thing first, we decided to get our fan goods. There was a total of 9 goods that you could buy but to be honest most of them look tacky and the only thing I wanted was a light stick and possibly a slogan because they looked classy. The line up to buy the goods was very long. So they tried to make it shorter by lining up everyone with 4 people per row. The weather was hot and it was a good thing those who were part of the Junsu's fan club started handing out small Junsu fans. I am so glad because although they were small, it helped quite a bit with the heat. Fan goods! The concert didn't start until...

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 ...

Seoul Grand Park Zoo

Last weekend I actually did something interesting... at least on Saturday. We went to Seoul Grand Park, especially to the Zoo. It is located in the southern part of Seoul and the park is really a Grand one. The zoo, as well, was really really big. It was really cheap to get into as well. Only 3000KRW! We couldn't go around the whole zoo because it was a Saturday meaning there were a lot of people! I could walk and be at the zoo all day but with that many people at the same time, I had my limits. Being in Seoul made me realize how much I did not like being squished in between people. my roommate took the picture! ^^ Statue in front of the Ape Jungle! It was the 6 of us going to the Zoo this time. So we made our priorities on which animals we wanted to see and went there first. The zoo was humungous and was smartly divided. All similar species were together, or the animals that live together in real life were bunched together. Each section was themed. It was really cool! We wen...
