Oct 14 - Marilyn Knows What's Up

 


There have been multiple instances where my mom rushed to check on me because she thought I was very upset. I was crying, but from hysterical laughter. No one cracks me up the way he does.

Oct 14 - Language Learning Essential / My Sexual Orientation

Aaaaand I'm back at not writing for a hot minute. :D

Eight weeks into my Intermediate 2 level of Dutch class by Erasmus Training Centre, I'm reminded of the different topics covered to date, spanning across Basic 1 - 3 and Intermediate 2 (yup, that's 5 classes in total so far). We've discussed, among others, the weather, travel, etiquettes, going out culture, health, entertainment, sports, journalism and media, and recently, politics. And for every single theme, Luis is there for me to consult, making it super easy for me to grasp the entire concept. You think I'm merely referring to the grammar part; I'm not. It never ceases to amaze me how knowledgeable he is about them all. I mean you ask me about the coalition's interests in Indonesia and I'll have you Wikipedia it on your phone. Or call my dad, one of the two. This guy's degrees are in Dietetics and Health Promotion! How the heck is he so goddamn fluent (and accurate) in matters revolving political intricacies??


My sapiosexual self can't be prouder for having responded to a random dude's message on OkCupid back in 2013. A dude so random I didn't even take a look at his photos prior to replying*. Easily the best decision I made that year -- and every year onwards!

*) Thank God he turned out to be hot AF.
