I guess in life, if things are not hard earned, they are not as rewarding. Spiritually speaking. That applies to your recent promotion, you love life, those pineapple tarts that you have spent hours and hours of cooking to find that perfect balance, those regular practice sessions for climbing that one mountain, and etc. Not to over-dramatize, like I [...]

Learning Spanish In Singapore At Las Lilas, Recommended?
January 11th, 2010 No Comments
One reader wrote in and asked my opinion on learning Spanish as a language and learning Spanish at Las Lilas, the school where we learn Spanish. Since I do come across questions like these from time to time (like from my friends via Facebook and Messenger), perhaps it is a good idea to share my [...]

Pollo A La Crema De Maíz Con El Arroz Al Vapor – Now, How About That?!
October 14th, 2009 12 Comments
Thank you for not hating my doodles. Drawing can be very therapeutic at times. Truth been told, though we often complain in the Spanish class that we dislike homework or deberes, I reckon we all secretly love it. This week’s homework was to write a recipe or receta. In fact, I looked forward to writing it as [...]

¡Uff…! Our Spanish Exam Certificates From Las Lilas
September 15th, 2009 13 Comments
It felt like yesterday when we returned home with two certificates. A moderately hard earned albeit minor achievement in our routine life. Now that I am reading that entry I wrote back in January, have you noticed how much the certificate’s template has changed? From that entry, I notice that Cynthia and my scores don’t [...]

¿Qué Hiciste Ayer, Qué Ha Hecho Esta Semana?
August 21st, 2009 9 Comments
OK. Forget about plan A and B. I am running out of time. Plan C is to semi-cheat (it is semi because I have actually worked for this). When our teacher momentarily leaves the classroom tomorrow, I will quickly pull out my phone and hit this page. Ah ha! That will most likely help me [...]

The Art Of Conjugation (Be Back After Our Spanish Exam!)
August 21st, 2009 9 Comments
How time flies. Just about a year ago we have started learning a new language. That was before I have started my photography hobby. And it seems that I have been taking photos for ages. Getting things into rhythm does have its merits. Before I knew it, I have clocked in 80 hours of Spanish [...]

Snippet Of My Life Episode 20 – Extreme Idol, Extreme Sport, Extreme Spanish Verb
May 27th, 2009 2 Comments
Extreme Idol
So Adam Lambert didn’t win the title. On the next day, I briefly joined the countless of fans reading through hundreds of comments easily found in the Internet. It was as though we all need a global support group, to hear that common voice. Majority of the younger audience these days probably won’t appreciate [...]

Spanish Supercharged: Elementary 2 @ Las LiLas School
April 21st, 2009 8 Comments
The thought of giving up on my Spanish class has briefly come and gone. I would miss my classmates too much, my teachers too much, and if Cynthia wants to continue, I just have to press on. It is rather up to my linguistic limit knowing how little talent I have on that department. Today [...]

Our Spanish Teacher Turns to Music for Inspiration – En La Ciudad by Amparanoia
February 25th, 2009 10 Comments
This has got to be one of the most hilarious Spanish lessons Cynthia and I have attended. Not because of the bizarre Spanish reggae music piece that the whole class has to listen to not once, not twice, but … I can’t recall how many times. Rather because I felt so stupid not able to [...]

Spanish Reloaded: Elementary One!
February 10th, 2009 19 Comments
This morning I woke up with a clear vision on how my day was going to play out by the hour – like many other days of my life. I was composing my next blog entry at the back of my mind while showering, while ironing – like any other morning of the week. Little [...]
