(Ummm... I had this draft post. Why haven't I posted it back in October?)
hehehe
It's 1am, the internet is stable, everybody's sleeping~
what a perfect time to read your blogs one by one & post as well~
The usual outing
The usual. Downtown for vietnamese food.

We always get the same dishes because they are delicious.
I swear I'm always looking forward to the next time we get there.
We also like everyone & everything & the atmosphere never disappoints.
My best friend always get croissants from this bakery.
I'm sorry but... this reminded me of Fukuoka aaah~
This store always creates really interesting displays.
(Adding some more from October I wanted to post about)
My nails. As always this kind of style~
I got Katamari Damacy for my ps2.
Two cute coords I wore. One for a party & one for walking~
And of course I had to post about the mexican restaurant that opened in my neighborhood & I got soooo happy. I got to speak to the chefs hihi. I have gotten more confident speaking spanish & I try not to freak out for not remembering some words. I wish I could practise speaking everyday because just listening & understanding is not that effective to my speaking skills. I say that as if my mum is not a spanish teacher but... hear me out, she's castellano & I'm latino, she still gets weirded out so we never speak together. So I do not feel bad anymore for getting bullied at school & stopping speaking spanish for good, coz some girls from my class bullied me for being a foreigner for speaking spanish with my mum, those few times they heard me when my mum would pick me up from school. A big issue coz back then kids would bully foreigners a lot. I internalized spanish & made it my own through telenovelas, music, art. Plus, spanish is a job to her, nothing more, while for me it's breathing. I fell from the sky when she told me she's got no connection or meaning behind her interest in the spanish language. It was so shallow that it broke my heart that a language, that means a lot in my life, for her it's just a language she teaches. Wait a min, that's why she was not interested in going to our country's latin america club events anymore... So any chance I get to communicate with latin americans I feel so at home! If only I could go to the events by myself but I'm too shy /-\
That's all~ Awww, it was nice revisiting through making this post.

So nice to come back to more posts from you :D I love your TV (monitor?) that is deco'ed!! so cute. I learned Spanish in college, enough to read some poems and understand people speaking, but was never brave enough to try to use it D: languages are so difficult to learn. It's great that you're trying it again!!
ReplyDeleteWahhhh I love your photos!!! You're sooo beautiful <3
ReplyDeleteI wish bullies weren't a thing. Nobody should bully anyone else especially over something as culture. Culture is meant to be celebrated and shared. I'm sorry that happened to you and your mom. Hopefully things will get better starting with this experience at the restaurant.
