"AAH ALAN YOU ARE SO MEAN TO GIRLS T_T =( ='(

But you are a nice guy anyways. And an excellent dancer!

You always help us out and look out for us. And finally you're a great date ;)

I rabu you!" - Amelia

"kekeke~~ I remember seeing your wolf plushie with this gaping hole where its nose used to be. Ah, it's so funnie^^ But poor wolf plushie -.-; I don't think I could stand it if one of my penguins were missing a beak or a wing @_@"

"Alan! Ah you have no idea how much I really care about you. Forgive me when I'm too mean to you... I yell only because I want you to see the importance in things. But as Sensei says... I mother you too much... Forgive me, sometimes I forget that we're the same age." -Rei

"I'm changing my comment with you Alan. My last one was stupid and fake. Anyways, I really do love you Alan so don't forget that you have people to turn around to when you most need it...even if we do make fun of you. And that's only because we love you so :) I can tell you right now, your kendo has grown tremendously since the first time we've crossed shinai. Your improvements and others' progressions have been a great inspiration for me and I hope to strive for a change in my kendo as well...one day...! T_T!" -Justine

That's a lovely picture guys....No...it's not man purse, it was a sack, to place in items into. To get back to Alan, hey man you been motivational for me throughout my Kendo career. You have continueously moved foward as a person and as a kendoist. Your mentality of non-stop effort is greatly shown in your high level of keihon. I think you have huge potential of becoming a lot more than what you think you are capable of. I as person believe you as stronger man than I am. Until the time comes, lets take one step at a time and lets practice together, as kendo is done with partners. I think our dojo appreciate your company and your bright knowledge you have with Kendo. ----Woojin----
