striking out

Tonight is the opening of the bowling tourney at work. We're up against the red team (by the way, we're the jeresey-ed in blue.) Score is 4-2. And we're up, by around 50 points total. Hah! ;) I love my team. They are all so good, making up for all my misses. Hahaha!

It's real fun being with people at work during these kinds of gathering. Everything's relaxed. No pressures. No hierarchy. No bosses. Hehe! All but plain fun.

I really hope we make it to the finals. So I better practice my swings...

going french

I am learning French, finally! Although, this has been a longtime wish, I hadn't really decided on sitting down and actually studying the language until an officemate invited me to enroll in a French Class, since according to her, she's bored. I though it would be fun so I agreed. That weekend, I started searching the internet for free french class and voila! I had the things I needed. I thought of learning things by myself first before enrolling in a language school. Besides, that is already way too costly. I also thought that the schooling will be a lot more fruitful if I already know a few vocabulary and little on grammar.

I now know a bit of the basics. (When I said that, I meant that it's really BASIC as it waaaayyy too basic..hehe!). For any consolation, I now know a few greetings. I also know my numbers: un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq. six. sept. huit, neuf et dix.

French is not easy in the sense that you don't write the words down as you say it. Spelling is a challenge so as the pronunciation which is very nasal. (My toungue is getting stiff actually...) I hope I do well on this one. (Read how my numbers are to be said: uh(n), du, thrwah, kaht, sahnk, sees, seht, weet, nef, deez)

That's all for tonight, I guess.

Bonne Nuit! =)
