Tongue twisted
I got something other than my knickers got all twisted in a wad, and just because I attempted to recite these: Aka-pajama, ki-pajama, cha-pajama. Tonarino kyaku-wa yoku kaki kuu kyaku-da. Kanda kajicho kado no kajiya no Kanbei-san ga kachiguri katta ga katakute kamenai kamisan ga kanshaku okoshite kari-kari kandara kari-kari kameta. Kabilugan ng Buwan, Buwan ng Kabilugan Minimikaniko ni Monico ang makina ng Minica ni Monica. Pinaputi...
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. Aside from manning their booth, the OngakuSociety bigwigs also hosted a mini quiz show where they gave away OngakuSociety shirts. I was going to run up to the microphone and answer myself (even if I had to trample on some poor kid to do it nyahahaha!), but I had to maintain a more dignified...
7Thvrsday at the 2007 Nihongo Fiesta
I saw 7Thvrsday perform L’arc En Ciel and Do As Infinity hits during the 2007 Nihongo Fiesta. The performance was good but the sound system sucked. I really wanted to throttle the people in the control booth every time the microphone buzzed. The acoustics of the venue also contributed to the problem. Clam Shell II is definitely not conducive to acoustic music performances. Nevertheless, the band continued with their set as if...
Juujiro J-Culture Organziation, Inc. at the 2007 Nihongo Fiesta
Aside from the free mochi, the 34th Nihongo Speech Contest and the doll exhibits, the other cool thing about the 2007 Nihongo Fiesta was the fact that I had the chance to work my social skills to the max. One of the groups of which I had the honor to make an acquaintance was Juujiro J-Culture Organziation, Inc. which is a “non-profit, all-Filipino Youth Organization established last October 22, 2004, that undertakes special...
Hinamatsuri
Happy Hinamatsuri! Late? I know. I should have posted this last Saturday but I was a little busy romping about Clam Shell II in Intramuros for the 2007 Nihongo Fiesta (which you will find out about in my later posts). Excuses? I know. Good thing there was a doll display in one of the booths. Lucky? I know! Every year in Japan, the 3rd of March celebrates Hinamatsuri, a tradition also known as Girls’ Day or Doll Festival. On this...
