The Story Of A Boatman (La Historia Del Barquero)

August 19th, 2010 4 Comments

This is my latest doodle titled “Boatman And A Girl Together With Other Parties“.  I have not been drawing for quite some time.  Drawing can be therapeutic.  Especially if you have a rough day at work (like mine today).  Each stroke scraps away a little bit of the trouble in your mind.  By the time [...]

Objects In The World Of Spanish, And The Distractions That Entail

June 7th, 2010 1 Comment

Learning a new language makes me feel like a kid once again.  It is long, hard, made of wood, and we use it to write, to sketch, and to paint, what is it?  And my study partner would answer, “Pencil!”, in Spanish.  And it would be my turn to ask, “What is it?”.  “A handkerchief”.  [...]

“When I Was 18″ – A Spanish Homework

May 19th, 2010 19 Comments

“When I Was 18″ - that was the topic of our Spanish homework.  In fact, our teacher Natalia left the age to be open.  It could well be when I was 16, when I was 24, when I was 30, when I was … OK, let’s stop here.  I mean, when I was 16, my life [...]

Ding! Leveled Up On Our Spanish Learning Journey

February 4th, 2010 11 Comments

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 5 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 15 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 [...]
