Today was another whole day at oxfam..eduardo still keeps speaking to me in spanish coz he keeps forgetting that i can't speak spanish..haha..super funny guy. Anyways, after oxfam, alex came down and we went to borders to search for chinese and spanish language books. we're gonna self study first and then when we get back over the summer, he's gonna teach me spanish and i'm gonna teach him chinese..haha. My heart was so warmed today! When i stepped into oxfam in the morning..i found that alex had left me a teach-yourself-spanish book complete with audio cds and elisa left me a book on lisbon even though i only casually mentioned that i was going next sunday..feel so loved..hahaha..didn't think ppl will bother to rmb what i say. Yamara dragged rakel to the havana rakatan again last night where she made rakel stand up and dance with her..haha and then they continued the partying at a salsa club in charing cross without calling alex and i..hmph. haha. Today's a lovely day even though the weather was drizzly and down..and strangely i don't feel tired at all even after working the whole day. Think i'll stay up tonight and read up on portugal and spain and read a bit of my new spanish book.haha. Feel so inspired.I really love the latino culture and spanish culture. And alex says my accent is exotic.yay. haha..another reason why singaporeans shouldn't bother changing their accents when they speak to ppl from elsewhere..hate it when ppl do that.

Housing issue..thought it would be settled last night but both unfortunately and fortunately, we're gonna look for another place. Hope we can get the contract back though..bloody agent. After hearing all the stories from my friends, i feel so cheated. Stupid manor house place.
Hai...so next week its just house hunting, oxfam, reading up for my trip, learning spanish and korean and hanging out...why do i feel that i wil learn spanish better and faster than korean?...haha..i'm gonna be so dead for saying this.

Something i've been chewing over lately: Faithfulness
I still don't know what it means to me and thats worrying me..faithfulness to God has been esp difficult of late..so many temptations, too many sins, not enough faith..and i've nearly broken the 6th commandment..and i find myself these days reminding myself so often that i'm catholic when it should be already intrinsic in me what to do and what not to do. Crap. Everyone's given the same measure of faith..i just need to find where all of mine has gone..Why am i listening to The Fray's 'all at once' again??hai...so reminded of the conversation i had with jamin and sherlyn in oxford on contentment..when will we know we've had enough?when will be the point where we find contentment? Do we set the level of contentment, achieve it and then be contented? Or do we find contentment in continuous doses and in increasing levels? I think i already know the answer for me to be content.
