I'm going to talk about school most of the time so please bear with me. I took my college schooling too lightly and now that I'm back to the classroom after more than two years, I intend to make this six-week course count.

Anyway, I can't describe into words what it feels like to be learning a new language. It's like integrating something foreign in my head and bit by bit, I am made to understand why they are different or similar to what I'm born with.

For instance, our teacher asks us how we learn a foreign language, like English for instance, and we look at each other and we don't know the answer. Because we didn't really learn English purposely, it has been there since birth and it is just as natural as breathing. The Germans don't generally speak English but as to why -- that's what I want to find out.

They also capitalize their nouns and most of their supposedly neutral nouns have a grammatic gender, like "Apfel" (apple) which is masculine and "Kartoffel" (potato) which is feminine. As to why, I am still wondering.

My teachers are super. :) Katja comes from Germany and Aida comes from Krygrystan. What's more interesting are my classmates -- most of them are applying for a fiance visa. And you know what that connotes.

I wanted to sign up for the library -- it's only Php200 for a one year membership but shyness got the best of me since I know that I still couldnt read what are in those books. Maybe I will, in A1.2.

That's all for now. I'm getting kinda sleepy.

Got this meme from Bebe. :P 

The instructions are: 

(Ehem, teh intro, I made up, Bebe's got none): 

*Let's pretend you're musically-inclined and all, had your own band and now you've just finished completing your 77th album, but OMG! you'd want to reinvent EVERY effing thing about this particular release, like the album name for instance and the freaking design of the cover and you might as well reinvent the band name too! Thank goodness some crazy person from LJ came up with the following instructions (to help you and your bandmates out before it's too late because your fans are getting wilder by teh minute and they might break in your studio and strangle you all if you don't get teh copies out in the market by dinnertime tomorrow!)

I hope the links work out right, just head over her LJ if they don't.  

1. The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
2. The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
3. The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4. Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together, and post it in your own.

Here's what I came up with when I "stumbledupon" this+this+this and the other is Bebe's:

What Famous Work of Art Are You?

Have a Blessed New Year everyone!

One reason why I wanted to get my hands on Bebe's notebook was because of what was written on the cover. 

It said: Love the moment.

This is what my 2007 is all about after all.

My old wallet, is, well old. So I bought this. 

I seem to get drawn to blue colored things. My camera was electric blue. And I use only blue pens. Some few days ago I bought a blue pair of eyeglasses. My eyes are drying out with my contact lenses, I have to make do with the glasses for a while. 

Blue is ♥.

I don't know what's with me today. 
I'm being giddy just because I found Papemelroti's website. 
I've always been a fan of Papemelroti.

Oh yes. I'm being shallow.
