I was asked by prof. Sato to become the MC for international student welcome party in May, and after knowing that, Seada told me that she'd take the pictures for me. Everything went well actually, but knowing that Seada was going to take my picture made me steal a look several time to the audience - not to address them but to look for her. And, as the picture shows, she took the photo exactly when I stared at her (well, a little bit embarrassed, because Liu (the other MC) looked very business-like, while I seemed not to take it seriously at all...:-) ). Seada also put this picture on her blog and commented: "still manage to steal a look..."About a month after the party prof. Sato happened to meet Pecolin (my homestay mother) and she said thanks to her that I was helping her to become the MC at the party (it a custom in Japan - and I think everywhere else - to say thanks not only to the people who help but also to the people who close to the one who help - such as his family - and most of the people here already considered me as a part of Pecolin family).
"He became MC in the party?", Pecolin said after accepting the gratitude. "Well, I should ask him to become MC in our party next time!"
And all I could do now is wishing that she forget about that MC stuff...
