University orgs and schools perform at the 2007 Nihongo Fiesta
It was quite fun to watch the performances of the different universities, schools, and organizations during the 2007 Nihongo Fiesta. Most of them were amusing and some were interesting, but all were certainly entertaining. Here’s the line-up of last Saturday’s program: Adamson University Bunka (Matsuri) Koryukai: An Adamson Experience . Lyceum of the Philippines University Modern Parasol Dance Manila Science High School...
OngakuSociety at 2007 Nihongo Fiesta
OngakuSociety, the premiere contemporary Japanese music community for Filipino fans, was also present at the 2007 Nihongo Fiesta last Saturday.

Call me a glutton but I don’t think my love for the Japanese sweet (very similar to our own palitaw, a traditional Filipino rice delicacy that I adore) would actually send me to the fiery pits when my spirit leaves my earthly body. Weng-sensei looked at me...
