It's the Hair!

This is Aliena, one of our students.  She's reading her reflection for our class as you can see in the picture below.  I caught this photo while wrapping up the class one Friday afternoon.  I noticed how long her hair is, and then I just suddenly had the urge to transform her hair into something like this:

Japanese hairdo for a Japanese woman

Hanami Sensei's hair is just shoulder-length, yet she can gather it in an updo bun, so I thought I'd get her help in doing the same to Alie's. 


Ta-da!

Here is how she looks after some "hairstyling" by Hanami Sensei:

Thanks to Hanami Sensei for the hairdo!  :-)

Visitor Session - December 9, 2010

Practicing one's speaking skills, especially in a foreign language, is important.  One's proficiency in a certain language is directly proportional to how much one uses the language in natural settings.  With this in mind, Hanami Sensei and I thought of coming up with the Visitor Session, a day in which our students get to interact with real Japanese nationals ---- no English on this day, please!

Hanami Sensei actually invited two of her friends from Japan, who came over to enjoy a short vacation in Cebu for the weekend.  Though they had a hard time speaking English, I must say that they did an awesome job interacting with Nihongojins from Pasig.  I was so proud!

Thanks for visiting our school!
