Music to my ears
The interesting part of having classmates on which no one is a native English speaker, is the different languages being spoken at times in the class for semi-debate on the Chinese grammar and stuff like that. Whether the outspoken Europeans are speaking French, Russian, the painfully shy Japanese try to answer in Nihonggo and I would throw side comments to C in Tagalog who sits across the table in our own private joke time. In due time I can speak I love you in 5 or more languages. The guys are hilarious, it make my studying Chinese fun because we tend to laugh at our own mistakes (and at other mistakes as well, but in a good natured way of course).
The semester is about to end and I am going to miss some of them who are either moving to the earlier schedule due to their hectic lifestyle.

I am currently in love with Regina Spektor's music. We're of the same age and she's like Alanis less the angst and with a quirkier sense of humor. Her unique voice is so enchanting and her lyrics..wow, poetry and she plays the piano, too so plus plus points for being a true artist. I'm captivated. I wish she can visit Taiwan, too although I think there's just a 0.0001 percent probability that she will perform here. Please visit http://www.myspace.com/reginaspektor and tell me what you think. I personally like "Us." http://www.ifilm.com/video/2663660. She's going to perform tomorrow at Bronx, New York and how I just wish I can teleport myself to NYC!

I'm going to Taipei next week for four days of urban experience before the new semester starts and will stay at the other Filipina student's flat. Time flies too fast and I am now on my third month of constant tongue-twisting oral exercise (you know.. speaking Chinese.) I'm still trying to get used to the new lifestyle. But maybe, as long as I have a *Regina handy in my soon-to-come Ipod things will get better. ;)
