yay... super lamig...soooo cold.anyway, i`m not yet going to school because i will be transfering families this week or maybe next week...hmm...last quarter of the school year lang aabutan ko this year.then next year, from march to june. 4 months...isang quarter lang din matatapos ko then one month ng 2nd quarter...pero gusto ko yung school year nila dito. kasi from march to early december.so it means, their vacation is almost three months...THREE MONTHS.shux.then, just like what nikko said, ang ganda ng sched kasi kasabay ng annual year ang school year.cute.yesterday, we went to the mass..the guys who were at the bible study meeting (refer to one of my posts) were also the choir members,,then after the mass, they asked me why i didn`t come to the choir meeting last saturday.WHAT? i didn`t know that i`m a member of the choir...then, they told me that they want me to sing with them.i told them that i can`t even understand what they`re saying.they said that if i want, i can sing in english.i said `no, it`s okay. i can sing in spanish.`ahehe...so, they invited me again to join them next saturday.the problem is this: my sister told me that i might be transfering families this week or maybe next week. if i will transfer this week, and my hostfamily lives far from this area, then i won`t be able to come to the meetings every saturday anymore...i really want to join them not because i want to sing but because they are very VERY friendly.one of them even told me that i laugh nicely.he said that in spanish. then he asked me to say it in english.risa means laugh.bien means good or nice.then i told him my translation.oh well... how do one laugh nicely? never mind.but... aww... i will miss those guys. they are really a happy bunch.hopefully, my next family is close to this area, too...btw, during mass in the philippines, there is a time wherein you say `peace be with you`,right?the spanish of that is `la paz a contigo`anyway, my hostmom is not around and won`t be around for four days.she went to a trip to the south of argentina. around the area of patagonia.btw, it might be that i will provide my own uniform.hopefully, it won`t cost that much.hopefully.hehehe...propphi told me that there`s also a euro bungy back there in the philippines.where can i find that?you know, spanish vocabulary is easy.you just have to read the dictionary and memorize everything.the hard part is the verb conjugation.you know, like the infinitive `to eat`will change to èating`and èaten`and àte` and `will eat`..yeah.that`s the hard part. spanish grammar.actually, spanish grammar is not that different from english grammar unlike the japanese grammar wherein everything changes...but still, it`s not that easy to conjugate verbs...i might accidentally say ì am eating`when in fact what i want to say is that ì have eaten`...you know... stuff...and then, there`s the irregular verbs.like in english, `fly`to `flew`...irregular verbs conjugate differently and they follow no rules in conjugation.you HAVE to memorize their conjugates then...i mean, I HAVE TO memorize them...gosh.this morning, before my hostmom left, we`ve had a visitor. then before she left, she brought me to the door and talked with me. i understood that she`s telling me that she lives in the house with the white fence around the corner. but then, she started talking about `pablo`...who the hell is pablo?then, i can`t understand anymore. i can recognize words but it doesn`t make sense...is she telling me that someone named pablo lives in her house too?or is she telling me something entirely different.i just nodded and nodded... shux.can`t understand that.and hell, she forgot that i`m not that familiar with spanish yet...and i was too shocked with that pablo stuff that i forgot to tell her to slow down...last night, my host sister belen wrote me a letter.it wasn`t long but it took me around 20 minutes to read it.why? it was in spanish.btw, they call spanish here as castellano.pronounced as `casteshano`btw, when we went to the expo a few days ago... i saw several llamas...you know, the animals.. llama... yeah.they were inside this big fence structure because they`re quite dangerous..i dunno why but the guards won`t let us too close to the fence.this moment, my host sisters are sleeping.people here sleep really late then after returning home from school or work, they will sleep.siesta mode.siesta is actually a spanish term. and it means `nap`...oh well... i`m excited to go to school...meet new people... learn physics and chemistry in spanish... meet cuties... stuff like that...till here.over and out.chao!
