day27~The camp~

Hey guys!! I’m a bass guitar player Juna Serita!!

TODAY’S MEAL MENU

breakfast

lunch

kimchi / green kimchi deep fried zucchini / deep fried chicken / soup /

I often hear the name “CAMP” from many students and teacher here in Beci.

According to the student who has gone there,the building has 3 floors. 1st floor is bar&restaurant . 2nd floor is dance club. 3rd floor is pub that has garden.

I and my batch mate went to the 3rd floor, pub HARDLN.

It was nice location but it was full of BECI students . That’s why many people call here “”2nd BECI”.

It seems that there is live performance every night. Beci’s teacher is also one of the singers here.

The band was simple. Acoustic guitar, cajon , vocal(teacher.lol)

We could enjoy drinking and listening to the good music.

There is no taxi driver who doesn’t know here.

Without question, the camp is the most famous places here in Baguio,the Philippines.

If you come here, try.

Some people might know, I didn’t have many friend because of my shy and negative character. lol

However now, I wonder why I have many friends here .

Today is Tuesday, most people have a livery conversation about weekend plan.

「Hey Juna , do you have any plan this weekend?」

「Do you go to a bar? If you will , let me go together !」

「I wanna try to go to a club! Could you come with me?」

「Shall we have a party for the student who graduated? 」

It knocks my socks off .

In Japan, there aren’t many people who invite me for hangout .

But here in Baguio, friend’s friend is also my friend.

People who talked me once s also friend from then.

I hope I could become more sociable person than before.

day24~group class~

Hey guys!! I am a bass guitar player Juna Serita!!

breakfast

bread / papaya / salad / stir fried rice / soup /

lunch

fresh salad / beansprout / rice / something fried deep / miso soup / front mix / kimchi /

dinner

rice / meat and potato / kimchi / spinach / sweet potato / vermicelli soup /

It’s the time to change group class.

Normally student choose 1 speaking group class, 1 listening group class. I also chose them previous classes.

Above them, I felt something uncomfortable in the listening class. Either The teacher and classmates was nice. I enjoyed the class every time. However there were a lot of new vocabulary or idiom there. I thought I should better learn speaking and vocabulary and idiom before listening class cause if I could hear about it, I never under stand the sounds mean. I’m sure it can’t make me improve easier .

Then I was considering what subject I should choose. There are speaking class, vocabulary class, grammar class, writing class except listing.

First, in the case of vocally, I always memorized vocabularies by myself,so in my opinion I don’t need some help as far. That’s why I don’t need to choose this subject.

Second , grammar. Actually I have attended night class it is kinda vocabulary. In the class, I can exactly understand the grammar . Although I don’t have many chance to speak English in the class every time. Just one class is good enough for grammar . The night class last more several days. So I wanna choose other subject .

I was thinking about writing, too. I write English everyday with too poor English .lol It would be possible that my english blog turn into awesome. I thought choosing writing class is one of the options . But I checked the detail about the class, it was written how to write business mail…. Oh I might not a business woman… I exchange some message with foreign musicians now and then but I don’t need to use too correct formal English. If I write like that, They will worry about me…lol And It also doesn’t have a chance to speak.

Finally , I ended up choose two speaking class. I’m pretty sure it would be the best way to improve my English skills earlier .

day23~pronunciation~

Hey guys!! I am a bass guitar player Juna Serita!!

Today, I couldn’t take pictures of meals because the battery died.

Oh , I uploaded new video on youtube for the first time in a while.

Larry Graham’s song, The jam.

I shoot the video when I was in Japan. I think it was September 13th . The reason I remember is that I shoot the video on the day of gig.

By the way, my Vietnamese roommate said to me that she is not good at listening to Japanese English pronunciation , but she can understand my English because according her my pronunciation is clear.

I was really surprised . In fact, I see that when I’m talking about something longer, some teacher frowns . It brought my opinion that my pronunciation is terrible.

At first , most teachers corrected my pronunciation every time. But these days some teacher turned into that they don’t correct so often. Then I thought they realized that I don’t have a sense of speaking correct pronunciation. I’m not sure, however maybe I’m getting better….. ? I hope so.

day21~jam with local musicians~

Hey guys!! I am a bass guitar player Juan Serita!!

I have always considered where I can play the bass guitar with local musicians.

So when I was in Japan ,I searched on the Internet, then I found some music clubs and sent messages to the owner .

And then I expect the best music bar is Concoction Baguio.

I invited Rocky because Rocky loves music. Rocky was afraid if the bar is dangerous place. She has heard that some student was stolen their wallet in other night club and she was worried about my few information. It is open 24 hours and there is the live performance everyday.

Anyway It’s been already 2 weeks I came here. I have never had a session with someone. I AM A BASS GUITAR PLAYER JUNA! I never want to forget it. And I am just interested in Filipino local musicians. Those are why I was looking for the good music bar here in Baguio, Philippines.

We went there by taxi . The time that we arrived there was 9:20 p.m. But it was crowded with people yet.

And we could see the live performance of local musicians. I didn’t know the songs played by them, I think it is old American hit songs…. maybe.

All musician was great. Especially I respect the bass guitar player. I was really pleased with his reggae music groove !! Above them they has too much repertoire and if audience request songs, they can play!.

When the vocalist asked if we have some songs that wanna listen to, I told him that I wanna play with them in a pound voice from our seats .

They asked me weather I can sing, I said to them I WANNA PLAY THE BASS GUITAR!

The band member and audience looked be very surprised and the bass guitar player lend me his instrument. Thankful.！

On the stage , the guitar player or vocalist asked me some question through the microphone , but I couldn’t understand what they meant because of my poor English skill. lol Maybe audience also was laughing me…I was really ashamed….I need to study English harder…lol

We played two songs!!

I exactly realised that Filipinos loves music and it reminded the great feeling that I had a live performance for the first time in my life…. I appreciate of the kindness of all people.

Rocky was very surprised . She said to me that she had expected playing the bass guitar is just hobby for me but it was wrong. She always asked me to play the bass guitar front of her.

So I’m so happy to show my performance to her.♪

After the performance, young two mens talked to us and drunk together. Maybe in Japan, it is called “nampa”..? lol

Although , they are our first local friends ! Thanks for the fun time!!

When we ware going back to our dorm, Rocky said

「I’m your big fun!!! Why didn’t you tell me anything!? I thought bass is just your hobby but you are professional … Ahhh I really don’t want to go back to Korea… I wanted to know the bar earlier…」

Rocky looked be pleased with the bar. I agree with her. Probably I ‘m gonna go to the bar concoction again !!

I had a best night .
