Here's a short video with some highlights I've managed to capture on film this past month.
Scene 1: K-Pop star in the making
Scene 2: If only you could see what was going on behind the camera...
Scene 3: New school pet
Scene 4: Ruth interviews the awesome PE teacher while another kid goes BANANAS in the background. His faces are priceless.
Here's the transcription for Scene 3:
Student: What are you filming?
Me: The chicken.
Student: Huh?
Me: The chicken. See?
Me: Whose chicken is it?
Student: I don't know. It's been here for a week.
Me: Really???
Shortly thereafter, the school janitor offered to kill the chicken for me.
I politely declined.

Christmas Gaiety
It's Christmas (well, technically Christmas eve) at Gu Ting today!
Since we're not having a Christmas performance this year, Stacia and I threw Christmas parties with our two English classes! In her 6th grade homeroom class (English is usually taught by a different teacher, but not in this case), we had a gift exchange party! I traded a Spongebob candy-cane and Christmas tree ornament for a Spongebob plush toy. Spongebob's translated Chinese name, by the way, is "Sponge Baby."
I've received a ridiculous amount of AMAZING cards from students (most of whom I don't even teach!),
along with five slices of pizza (two seafood, three Hawaiian), 5 packs of Yilan specialty cookies, a crystal tree, delicious chocolates, a pencil case, and a very special pair of earrings...
The featured star of the Christmas video I made for my parents, a boy I accidentally renamed Milk, loves me. He not only confessed his love to me several times, but dropped down on his knees yelling "THERE'S STILL HOPE!" when I told him I wasn't married. He drew me an awesome Halloween picture, then preceded to throw it at me and run away screaming "MIIIIIIILK-UH!" Ahh, to be young again.
Milk's English is not that great but he is one of the funniest and most creative kids I have ever met. Usually he just speaks English-sounding gibberish at me, with the occasional "MILK-UH!" thrown in for good measure.
For Christmas, he presented me with a very delicately wrapped package in front of the whole class. Inside was not only a very beautiful pair of earrings but also the best Christmas card I have ever received.
I'm not sure where he learned the word "gaiety," which makes me like this even more. I think I'm going to get it framed.
