Let's continue with the last three days of our visit to Japan for our Summer Immersion Program sponsored by the Japan Foundation and the country of Japan as a whole.

Visiting Kitamoto High School on Day 8

Visiting Kitamoto High School was very enlightening for me. I learned that students had only one chance in pursuing their studies; so they had to give their very best in order to obtain a good high school education. Cooperative learning is highly emphasized, so they are very keen on partnering each student with someone whose grade or year level is higher. They call this the kouhai (lower year) and sempai (higher year).

In Japan, students are not publicly acknowledged in recognition programs unlike here in the Philippines where grades truly matter especially in scholarship programs at the university level. The students apply to the university of their choice, which they choose by its rank; unlike in our country where we try to determine which schools excel in the program or degree of our choice, then send our applications.

This post is all about day 5, 6 and 7 of our 10 Day Summer Immersion Program in Japan.

Riding the Shinkansen bound for Saitama on Day 5

For our fifth day in Japan, we had a very quick review session in the morning on what to do for our Tokyo field work and for our school visit. Then after lunch, we had to rush to the shinkansen or bullet train, that would take us to Saitama. We would spend the next four days at the Urawa Center. The shinkansen was indeed very fast, yet I felt that the ride was very smooth and even more stable than the train. We arrived at the Urawa Center early evening, and so we just ate dinner, and prepared for the activities the following day. Again, we were treated like royalty with such five-star accommodations.

Acne Treatment Using Effective ProActiv Solution

Wazzup Pilipinas!

As a child, it has been less of a problem of mine to experience the troubling effects of an acne or pimple dilemma. I could imagine the disgusts of my other classmates suffering from an acne bombardment in their faces. Such a true destroyer of confidence.

Maybe because I grew up from the province of Pangasinan where our food is less of the oily and fried stuff we see and eat here in Manila. Fresh vegetables, fruits, root crops and other food direct from nature were abundant and so we didn't have to buy from fastfood chains and suffer guilt from all those greasy food.

Some say fried food contributes to the acne or pimple problem.....and if your diet is not paired with enough exercise and a positive perception in life, it also wreaks a distressful disposition.In severe cases, you need the help of experienced dermatologists to deal with your acne issues. Make sure to contact only a reputable aesthetic clinic so that you can get the right treatment in the right manner. 

Let's start our every morning right, and end it still feeling glad we made it throughout a lengthy but fulfilled day!
