This is a long overdue update on my Hungarian lessons. Update? What update? For weeks, I put Hungarian (and Japanese) on the back burner while I concentrated on French. I must admit that I am struggling a bit with the language because: 1) it is so different from the languages I know. The vocabulary and…
Typhoon Glenda (International name: Rammasun) is currently lashing at Metro Manila and we are under signal number 3. I cannot sleep because of the strong wind and rain so I tried to get some work done but the power’s on and off and I kept…
Earlier this month, I decided to intensify studying French and scale back on Japanese and Hungarian. I used to spend an equal amount of time and effort in all 3 languages. But the divide-and-conquer strategy wasn’t working too well for me, especially with my busy…
きょうは変な電話がもらった。でも、わたしの心は変わらない。もう終わりだから。ずっと前から。あの人とのストリーは全部終わった。 今は大切な人がいるから。遠くても、彼はいつも心の中にいる。彼のことはいつも考えている。。。この歌を彼のために歌いたい。。。 I, I was a game he would play He brought the clouds to my day Then like a ray of light You came my way one night Just one look and I knew You would make everything clear Make all the clouds disappear…

Guess who’s back in Manila? Ate Bel and family! We last saw each other over 5 years ago, then the Masaki family moves back to Japan so the children can experience a normal Japanese life. Now they are back in Manila for Masaki-san’s 2-year “call…
My sister and I initially thought we’d be moving into a new house in April. Nope. OK, May then. Not quite. June, it is. Again, no. We went to visit the condo on Sunday to check the progress. Wow, they removed the front door. What…
Today is also the birthday of one of the greatest Filipinos who ever lived, Dr. Jose Rizal. Like Rizal, this cute little boy (who looks a bit like a cute little girl) is also destined for his own greatness. May you travel more, learn more,…
Everybody lies. – House, MD So goes Gregory House’s immortal line. The show ended years ago, and if you can’t remember anything else about it, I am sure you can still remember that line. People have different reasons for lying. Some lies benefit the liar,…
Haunting melody. Unforgettable lyrics. John Legend’s song as sung by The Voice champ Josh Kaufman. I love, love, love this song. The song of real love. What would I do without your smart mouth Drawing me in, and you kicking me out Got my head…
