Such a busy Summer...

Sat Jul 26, 2008, 10:25 AM
*phew* I'm exhausted. I think I've done much more in this month than in last school year.

First, I had to visit a Philippine School. Not so bad, really, since it was only every Saturday in July. The problem was: lessons started at 9 am. And it took me about 45 minutes to get there D: I always looked like a zombie when I arrived there >_<

My teachers were pretty impressed of my Tagalog (=Main language on the Philippines). I was thinking to myself: "Well, duh. I have philippine parents."
But then I noticed the other kids/teenagers didn't even understand a word. They were almost... Austrian. Just more tanned and with black hair. One day, there was a lesson about the "Philippine way of life" (Dunno how I should call it). It was about how four family generations can live in one house without ripping each other's heads off, how to have respect for the elders and everything else you could call "good manners" in general.
Most of them were like "LOLWTFBBQ". Wow. I thought: "Thank God, I'm not going to hang around with those guys anymore >_>", but nooo, my teachers agreed that my Tagalog was so good, that they want me as a teacher next year. Man, I pity those people who I'll have to teach something already. I suck at explaining. Epically. Especially when it comes to Grammar, and stuff. I mean, I'm good at languages, but explaining? ._.

We had to cancel one day of school because on that day, there was the "Barrio Fiesta". It's to celebrate the day the Philippines declared Independence (I think... or it was the day they got rid of the Spains, I forgot ._.)
There was tons of philippine food, grilled stuff, sweets, ice candies and much more. They also had a program with philippine dance numbers, songs and music. Some friends and I had to play the national hymn and some folk songs. And "Happy Birthday" because some highly ranked Filipina had her birthday (I think it was the ambassador o_o Curse me for being so unattentive.)

And today I had to go with my parents to a wedding where they had to film everything. My dad has this film-editing-hobby and he kinda... persuaded me to come with them and be the second back-up camera woman (<- That word looks kinda weird.)

... I hope I'll get my fifty euros soon.

Well, those were the events worth mentioning. I hope you guys have an awesome summer as well =D

Boah, na du hattest ja einiges zu tun! o.o Diese Phillippinische Schule, ist die in Wien? Ich finde das wirklich beeindruckend, dass du beide Sprachen so gut beherrschst! ^^~ Und hey, mach dir nichts aus den Typen, mit denen hast du wahrscheinlich eh nicht mehr lang zu tun, oder? Und außerdem. Stell dir vor, du musst solche Typen dann unterrichten: Da kannst du's ihnen dann zeigen!! >: D
