day 35 ~ate out lunch ~

 

 

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

 

I went to eat out for lunch with my batch mate Yuki(form Japan), Saki(from Japan) and Lilian(from Vietnam ) today.

This is  a Korean food restaurant. It seems that Yuki and Saki have come here before.

Actually , I worked out at the gym of dormitory for the first time in a while before going out. So I need much proteins today for building my body!!

We ordered two plates of samgyeopsal ,but unfortunately they were out of samgyeopsal. We ordered other kinds of meat and some dishes .

I enjoyed having good protein.♪♪ I’m very satisfied with most foods !

However only this miso soup was too salty .. We all couldn’t have this enough. If we drink all of this , it ‘ll bring about something bad for our health….lol

After eating, we went to buy bus ticket for long vacation in the Philippines.

 

I could buy one way ticket without problem, but there wasn’t the ticket from Manila airport (Ninoy Aquino International Airport)to Baguio on the day I’ll be back . So I bought the bus ticket that it departs from other place where is a little far from airport.

The crew of ticket shop told me I need take a taxi to the place.

When I arrived in Manila on the first day of studying abroad, it was crowded with strange taxi drivers . They talked to tourists  random and persistently.  According to my mother, my elder brother(He also went to Manila for 2 weeks to study abroad.) also stuck his chin out in taxi. Above them , I don’t have a good impression about taking a taxi in Manila . I’m anxious about it..

 

However, there is such a proverb in Japan.

 

 

“ Let lovely girl(or boy) take a journey . “ 

(translated into Japanese to English straightly .)

 

I know I’m not special…lol  But I’m pretty sure having many experiences makes our personality improve.  Some danger would be good for me. ; )

day 34~boo・・k・・ ~

 

 

 

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

 

TODAY’S MEAL 

breakfast 

apple / potato / deep fried vegetables  / kimchi / watery cooked rice /

lunch 

spinach / fruits salada/ sushi / soup / kimchi /

dinner

kimchi / bean sprout  / egg and tomato / soup / meat /

 

 

 

 

Today I was at the lounge all day for self studies.

And more one thing, I had a matter of concern.

Actually,  nowadays I had been considering if I go to NAMM 2018 by myself .

Of course, the flight ticket would be so expensive  . Above them , If I go,  I’ll never be able to stay long there. So I thought that I should endure and save money for the time when I can book enough terms.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

However…….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wonder why I was frantically saving money.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wonder why I’ve been studying English here in the Philippines with the money.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I wonder why I chose this season to study abroad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ALL IS FOR MUSIC!!!  Mustn’t  forget.

NAMM SHOW is the biggest music event in the world. Last time I did regret that I couldn’t much understand what great musicians were talking to me. That’s why I’ve been studying English now. Which mean  I ought go!!  I ought book flight right now!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finally, I done it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ll become 24 years old soon.　 I have to invest in myself now or never for my career .

 

 

 

Bye

I can’t speak English smoother than day before yesterday……

The reason of I can’t is I was sleeping all day and I didn’t talked with someone at all yesterday….

day31~stmachache~

 

 

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

Terrible stomachache made me wake up.

3:30am

I tried to study at lounge , but it was killing me . I gave up and went back to bed again at 6:30.

I got up at 7:00, so I went to eat breakfast.

My batch mate was surprised cause usually I done my breakfast until we see .

 

And I talked to friends about my story of diarrhea .

friend「Are you okey? Can you eat? Because you have a diarrhea , right?」

Juna「Yes, exactly . I have a lot of appetite in spite of the diarrhea. 」

So I attended  first class, but then I feel danger.  And I told the help dest to be absent from classes today. I went back to my room…

 

 

When I woke up, outside was dark already.

 

 

roommate 「Are you okey? I thought something wrong . So we checked if you are breathing .  」

Oh… I was sleeping over 8hours in daytime.  I think my stomachache was got better because of too enough sleeping .

Definitely I need to attend all classes tomorrow cause I don’t wanna drop out .

good night.

day30~LIVE INFORMATION~

 

 

 

 

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

 

TODAY’S MEAL MENU

breakfast

bread / deep fried leaf / minced beef / soup / papaya / gelidium jelly

lunch

bibimbap / kimchi / seaweed soup / banana/

dinner

fried leaf / boiled vegetables / rice crackers / Gelidivum jelly/ kimchi /

 

 

 

in December 17th  I’m gonna have  a gig for the first time after studies abroad at Strawberry fields in Komazawa, Tokyo,Japan.

It’s about to be presented by a young singer songwriter Kahori!!

We met each other at a gig in Shinjuku when the band SORAMIMI was active.

She was playing guitar and singing at the time. Her guitar play knocked my socks off when the time of sound check .Cause maybe she was in junior high school then.  I thought why such a young girl can play the guitar correctly .  Above them she knows enough  old good music like blues, funk, and so on. This is only one of her charms.

She write her own songs and make backing track herself. That’s why she is so young but she can keep her music activities even through her ex.band stopped.

That day the acts are only Juna Serita and KAHORI. I  suppose we’ll perform 40 to 50 minutes each act.  When I normally have a gig as a solo,  almost a half of the set list is instrumental music without vocal. However now, I’ve been studying here in the Philippines . So , I think I ought perform as BASS&VOCALIST with English lyrics.   I say so ,but  I’m beside myself with uneasiness. I was thinking I wanna perform more cover songs than usual . Of course I also play my own songs . I’m trying to translate into Japanese to English my lyric … It is task work..

Although , I need to bite the bullet if I wanna go growbal.

Anyway, I’m looking forward to showing you my new performance in December 17th!! Cope with your schedule, please♪

 

Good night.

day 29 ~ speed ~

 

 

 

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

 

TODAY’S MEAL MENU

 

BREAKFAST

fresh salad / apple / stir fried rice / ramen / black coffee/

 

lunch

rice/ water melon / deep fried chicken / beansprout soup  / deep fried tofu / spinach /

 

dinner

rice / kimchi / soup / stir fried vegetables / fried leaf / like spring line  /

 

Today, my speaking 1 on 1 class teacher was absent from the class. So I attended another teacher’s class.

He looked like around the same age with me .

Teacher 「Do you know me!?」

Juan 「Ah…. Sorry I don’t know , it’s the first time I meet you ,right?」

Teacher 「Noooooo!! You’re Juna , right!? We ware talking at front of the gate last Friday!!」

Juan「Oh… Yeah ! I know you!! Did you have a hair cut ??」

Teacher「Nooooooooo!! same same!!!」

Oh… My brain always doesn’t work well… I fell sorry for him. I suck at remembering person’s name or face. It would be big problem..

His speaking was very fast. I think I am a English beginner , although he didn’t take care of me.lol

Teacher「How long have you studied English?」

Juan「I have been studying for almost 1 year,on and off .」

Teacher 「Oh  why can you communicate with me ? You often watch English movies?」

He knocked my socks off cause I never had  confidence of my English communication skills. Generally I ask what the person said again and again .  And it also  takes time to organize my sentence for speaking.

I’m also not sure why I can understand his speedy speaking. However compared with other teacher, I felt easy to understand.

Above them, he used some no popular vocabulary to us.  Most teacher normally chooses simple words like junior high school level.  probably we can understand easily but we don’t remember new vocabulary . I thought this young teacher is great !! I was anxious to have much more conversation with him . Time fries.

We can change our teacher, but In this school’s system, we can’t choose teacher myself.

It was just nice meeting  him. I hope talk to him again someday.

day28~Canto~

 

 

 

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

 

I feel that I enjoy this weekend too much.

 

Actually , I had another plan with my Taiwanese friend Pai this Friday . Above all I said it first.lol

But when I talked to her about my batch mate farewell party , she allowed to reschedule  our plan  .  I pretty appreciate for her kind. So today we went to eat out instead of Friday .

First , we went to SM mall for buying needs. The thing I want was only umbrella .

And then , we went to a restaurant called CANTO on foot.

 

Haru(Japanese), Juna(Japanese),   and… oh I forgot his name… I need to ask him later. He is from Korea. Very gentle and smart guy.  And Pai(Taiwanese ).

Japanese friend Haru recommended CANTO to us. It seems that she heard about this restaurant from her roommate. She always takes good care of her health that’s why her body is slim .  Above them , I thought  there would be great protein there  if she says nice!! And Haru looks like a Japanese male bass guitar player「Backy 」.

He was producer of SORAMIMI.　Big eye, slim body , how to make smile,,,Her all is similar to him.　lol

 

Anyway, that foods were awesome !

We enjoyed having big stake and fresh strawberry juice , nice beef stew,and so on.  It was  very delicious and I was over the moon. However Pai didn’t like this meat , so I feel sorry for her….

 

 

After that,  Pai said she wants to see my bass play. We went to the bar concoction.

The host band was also same with last time. I was really happy they remember me .  The vocalist called my name through the microphone on the stage, and I joined them.

Then I knew the bass guitar player is a multi player! I borrowed his instrument as a result  he played the guitar instead of bass without pick.

I was thinking I would be unable to play with him because we’re  same instrument, but we could ! I was in seventh heaven♪

 

I had a fun time today, too. Thanks everyone.

day27~The camp~

 

 

 

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

 

TODAY’S MEAL MENU

breakfast

banana /  watery cooked rice /

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.
