| 29th December 2006 Michelle Montilla | Hi!Merry Christmas! - From: Mosquitoes at Masarap na Pagkain!! Hi, Precious! Just in case you're wondering, I am your cousin Ching's wife, Michelle... Your mom and dad forwarded your blog entries to our e-mail so I went on reading some of your adventures in Japan and by far, I can tell you're totally into teaching, like you're born to be one. How did you get into a program like that? Are there any prerequisites, like maybe a knowledge of the Nippon language? Is it an International Exchange Teaching program, the one that you joined? I'm so sorry for getting ahead of myself-- hopefully we can get to chat sometime soon... TC! |
| 26th December 2006 Karen | - From: Mosquitoes at Masarap na Pagkain!! Tell your Lola that I'm called Nana in Minnesota. From snow in Japan to mosquitoes sounds good from here. Have fun. |

| 6th December 2006 mil reyes | beautiful photos - excellent write up - From: Autumn leaves in Kyoto! good on you to keep up with your blogging, precious! apart from blogging, do you still keep a journal of what you do where with whom everyday? i hope you do. it's so easy to forget people, places and events once you return home. i drummed this into carmel's head before she left for italy. she's been there since nov 19 and will fly back only on jan 12. i'll forward this blog to carmel. btw, how did you get to teach in japan? what program enabled you to do it? if you have a chance, pls answer this query. thank you. love, tita mil |
| 4th December 2006 Karen Anderson | How lucky you are! - From: Autumn leaves in Kyoto! Thanksgiving in Japan? Did you ever dream of that? You're so lucky to be able to make the quick side trips to see the famous sites and experience even more of the culture. I love your comments and photos, May. Sounds like you're a natural teacher, too. Keep having fun! Karen |

| 14th September 2006 Pear in the Dunes | games with students - From: Screaming Children ALL DAY! Tita Mil, the games are from materials we received at orientation and of course training that we got before starting classes. A lot of them are Japanese games modified for learning English. I'll be here for a year and I live in my own apartment. Some days I will cook, but most of the time I go out to eat because I'm just too tired after school to cook, plus my kitchen is very small, only one burner. |
| 14th September 2006 mil reyes | what wonderful experiences!! - From: Screaming Children ALL DAY! Precious, I have to thank your Tita Isa for forwarding me your travelblog address. This is the 3rd entry I've read. I can picture you with all the screaming kids. I'm fascinated by the games you use with them - did you learn that when you did your university course? Up to when will you be there? I have stickers that your kids will love, esp coz they're Oz ones. Enjoy every bit of your stay. Btw, do you board? Or, do you have to cook? Keep well. I'll try to write whenever I can. |
| 4th September 2006 liz | wasssuuuppp???? - From: Sugoi Sensei!!! Sounds like you're a natural at this teaching thing. Doesn't appear that you have any trouble makers... at least not yet. You just remember that they have to "Respect your Authoritay!" Hope you enjoyed your enkai ... but not too much. May + hang-over + sports + kids= crabby. Keep having fun and I'll write (real mail) to you soon. toodles |

And how dare they make teachers sweep floors D< lol. |
