do without
One of the many things our bumpou (grammar) teacher, Mojica Sensei taught us this afternoon, was the use of the ~zu ni pattern. A verb in the ~nai form plus zu ni, followed by another verb simply means “do [second verb] without doing [first verb].

"japayuki" etymology
So Sensei and I were walking along Paseo de Roxas, talking about how we're going home.

Yep, after almost two years of thoroughly testing the waters, so to speak, I am moving out of my aunt's condo and into our old abode again. I actually haven't completely stepped out from my comfort zone; my family being just a jeep ride away. Still, I got to try it, and should I ( Read more... ) -
Having an Atarashii Pasokon and Other Things in Between
Yes, we have an atarashii pasokon (laptop) -- another addition to the familial gadgetry. Went home one Saturday night when daddy told me he'd pick it up from my godfather's house (who also happens to be his best friend). He got a nice, Toshiba laptop; its surface something of a metallic-navy blue that can glisten into black under certain lighting ( Read more... )
