I don’t usually like consecutive music posts on my blog but this has been my earworm for the past several days. Yes, it’s your fault, Prince Turo Rudi I’ve listened to this song countless of times before but I didn’t know what its title was. Anyway, I found a Japanese translation of the song. The…
As I said before, I do not usually listen to rap music. But hey, rap it in Hungarian and I will be your fan. I am liking this song the more I listen to it. I like it more now that I can understand bits…
Whew! It was a whirlwind in 2014! I didn’t realise how much has happened until I narrated my entire year to my surfing sister, Desiree. Last year was big, fast and fun. I feel that 2015 will even be bigger, faster and more awesome! To…
I am really trying to reduce the number of items on my Christmas wish list, and that means I won’t wish for the Harry Potter set with redesigned covers. But the below are the bare essentials of gift giving to me. So when you pay…
I was away for a 2-week vacation (too short!) and while I did try to study a bit every day, I let things slip. Most of the time, I just sleep without cracking open the Duolingo or Memrise apps on my phone. When I checked…
Today, I had my very first italki session with a French teacher. I was so nervous that I actually thought of rescheduling. Plus, I have a headache since after lunch so I wasn’t feeling too well. But I thought I had to suck it up…
It took me a fair amount of time but I think I found a workable study plan for Hungarian. As there are considerably less available materials, I needed all the help I could get. Compared to French, I am having a more difficult time with this…
WARNING: Before watching, make sure you are alone at home (and not at work, school or any public place). Also, you need tissues. LOTS of it. This project brings the concept of language exchange to a whole new level. Why just learn a language when…
Yeah, I don’t do selfies. I do shelfies and my bookshelf screams: language NERD! As if that needs any confirmation. I still have more books and stuff for languages like Spanish, German and Korean but I have them in a box in the laundry cage…
The Purefoods franchise in the PBA has retired the jersey of former UST standout Rey Evangelista! What an honor! He joins superstars Alvin Patrimonio and Jerry Codinera as the only Purefoods players whose jerseys were retired. That means Rey is ASTIIIIIIIG, eh? Rey was part…
My neighborhood has a pond outside the clubhouse but I never noticed these koi until recently. I did see frogs, not fish. Maybe I was merely looking, not observing, not realizing what is there in front of me, not appreciating. Note to self: stop and…
Language lovers, here is a fun challenge for all of you! Can you guess which language is spoken in each item? My best score was only 600 but I was surprised at how I can easily recognize Czech — I never studied a word of…
In language learning, it is important to find materials that interest you. When I was learning Japanese, I was so into Japanese rock and pop music. I still am! I used to translate Gackt and GLAY songs and frequented Music21 to sing their songs. It…
This is an old video of one of my most favourite polyglots, Benny Lewis — more popularly known as the Irish Polyglot. He visited the Philippines for a couple of months. He’s been to Manila, Puerto Galera and Cebu and in this video, he is…
Jesse Campbell and Anthony Evans from Team Xtina did “If I Ain’t Got You” for their Battleround pairing. This happened a few seasons ago on The Voice but it has not faded in my mind at all. For me, this has to be the most…
Life is a choice: if you can’t have all, have some at least.
If you can’t be good, don’t be bad. If you can’t be totally happy, don’t be completely sad. ENJOY LIFE!
