And so it begins. With a burgeoning amount of time on my hands and a recent spat of boredom/frustration I have decided that it is time to revisit my bucket list. Of all the things on there, I think it is time I took some serious time to try and learn a new languages – 2 in fact. Actually, they are languages I have had some experience with but am far from fluent with. With my new found sense of free time and an increased need to desperately do something I have decided that Spanish and Tagalog are the two languages I need to focus on.

Firstly, why Spanish? Well, I live in a city that is has a very large majority of Spanish speaking peoples. Why not learn the language? As for Tagalog, I think that when the time comes for me to visit the home of my parents I should be able to at least speak the common language, if not the dialect.

Yes, this is a method I am formulating in order to keep me occupied from certain things, but I am my best when I am learning and I am currently out of books to read. I think karma kicked my ass and I’m paying for things I’ve done in the past. But now, I must learn to better myself and learn once again to ignore the things that bother me. A little house cleaning if you will.

So to that, me gusto un vida facil. Walang problemas at walang drama.

What do you do when life’s got you down and work puts the screws to you? Why, take a few days off and grab a nice traditional Filipino breakfast to help you regroup. If the greasiness alone doesn’t pick you up, knowing that the cholesterol in your arteries rises a few points is bound to make you feel a bit better.

As many of you know, I’ve been a little down lately. I’m getting to the point where it’s better now, but I struggle with it every now and then. Sometimes, things don’t go as planned – or hell, even as expected – but in the end, we find a way to make it work. You put things behind you and realize that in the end, it was probably how it was meant to be.
