Reflections

March 15, 2009. The last day of Spring Break. While we may not have gone anywhere in particular, I must say this week has been the most fun-filled vacation I've had. I relearned how to skate (no falls. Awesome), I learned how to set up music equipment and set tracks down (uh career imminent?), I learned to break dance (figured it out, no actual breaking involved!), and I realized how much I love the people around me.

Now don't get me wrong, I know the value of friendship. I have had conversations before pertaining to said value. Though they beat me, chastise me, hurt me, laugh at me (I still think it's with me by the way), I could not ask for more.

So many things have happened and for those that got to share it with me, thanks. I met new people, rekindled old friendships, and done things I never would have expected (platelets anyone?).

As for my quest on learning said languages, they have turned out well for the most part. I have started exercising again (more so now that I want to be better at breakdancing). I am reading my bible again. I have learned new songs and I plan on recording eventually (now to write some sick lyrics...suggestions anyone? Old McDonald? No? Copyright Infringement? Alright). Unfortunately, I haven't been learning Tagalog but I have been practicing with my parents so I guess that counts. I just need to get used to thinking Filipino rather than American. Musically I've gotten a little better; I still need practice with the piano. In the near future, I am probably going to hire a private coach just to expedite the process.

So yeah, this week has been amazing.
