It is almost 6 months since I've stayed here in Cebu. That means my study program is almost done. Although I came back to Japan once to join a job fare, I realized l still really miss Japan. Only a month left, but I'll continue studying English and job hunting because that is my purpose of coming here.

On February 18th, my friend invited me to join a festival that was held in University of the Philippines. In that event I could experience Japanese traditional activity and food. It had Japanese Karaoke competition and stalls selling foods such as Rice ball and kara-age. Mainly, almost all people did cosplay and that area was crowded. I was proud of my country on that time, because the people were interested in our culture. However, that was a rare case for Japanese to join such festival in Cebu. They had a lot of questions for me about Haiku, Japanese lyric's meaning and traditional clothes. I felt like that was my special day!

On March 7th, we did acting workshop which entitled "beauty and the besh". Besh means an informal way of saying "best friend" in Bisaya. That was absolutely successful. My role was a danggit vendor and I had 6 lines in that play. Audience were laughing while watching our play because the main character was a boy who wore a dress, and our lines were so funny.

Our study program is almost at the end but my job hunting has just started, so I wouldn't have any free time when I come back to Japan. My professor said If you had regrets while looking for a job that means I couldn't get successful. I want to do my best this year in Japan.
