Umorder ako ng tanghalian. Grabe ang cravings ko sa McDonalds lately. Pero yung Happy Meal ang inorder ko kasi Double Cheese burger ang kasama sa Mc Menu e hindi ko kayang kumain ng double patty. Tsaka okay na rin para maliit lang yung softdrinks. Dinagdagan ko na lang ng medium fries dahil maliit lang yung fries na kasama. Nasa loob ng box yung cheeseburger, fries at yung story book na Happy Meal. 😄 Cravings satisfied! Pero grabe, nakakalungkot kasi pati Mcdo ngayon mahal na. Huhu 🥺

Vacation in Methana

Hindi talaga kami mahilig mag-travel pero minsan, napipilit ko siyang mamasyal. Hindi kami masyadong nag-enjoy sa trip na ito kasi medyo tahimik iyong napuntahan naming lugar pero happy naman at nag-enjoy kami na kaming dalawa lang. Wala nga lang taga-picture. 😅

Ayoko na talagang magtrabaho sa Hospitality and Tourism Industry. Hindi naman ako nagsisisi kasi ito naman talaga gusto ko dati, to have my own restaurant business para hindi na magtrabaho sa iba yung nanay ko. Pero mukha namang hindi rin siya interesadong magkaroon ng sariling business at mas gusto niyang magtrabaho sa iba. Bakit ako magtitiis sa career na ayoko na? Ayoko na rin ng restaurant business. I realized sobrang matrabaho at walang work-life balance. Sawa na ako sa ganoon at iyon nga ang reason kaya gusto ko nang magkaroon ng sariling business. Para may control ako sa oras ko. Para na rin akong nagtrabaho sa iba kung restaurant business ang itatayo ko bukod sa malaki ang puhunan. Hindi ko naman kayang ipagkatiwala lang dahil promise, iba ang hands on sa sariling business. Akala kasi ng iba porket may puhunan, madali na. There is a reason kung bakit hiwalay na course ito sa Business Management. Anyway, desidido na talaga akong mag-change ng career. Sawa na akong kumbinsihin ang sarili ko na “passion" ko ang travelling at lokohin ang sarili na masaya ako tuwing nakakapunta sa ibang lugar. You can’t force happy memories. Kahit pa libutin mo buong mundo. Sana iba na trabaho ko next year.

How to not give up on language learning

Some time ago I received a message from someone who was highly demotivated and was thinking about giving up on language learning, although they were still attached to it ✉️

Out of my answer, I created this post with tips that helped me a lot while I was having a hard time with Japanese. I hope you'll find it helpful too 🥰

Reflection

Ask yourself if you really care about learning this language by writing down a list of pros and cons. Of course, you have to be extremely honest with yourself!

Bonus points if you have a planner you can take a look at to visualize the progress you made with time

Change your routine

It happened so many times that I was on the verge of giving up on a language, so during these moments of burnout, I usually take my current language-learning routine and change it!

I suggest taking some time away from textbooks to focus more on passive learning through native content

Change your mindset

Do not rely on comparison with other learners of the same target language, you should only compare to your past self

Wasted time does not exist, even when you are just relying on passive learning, as this practice helps you with slowing down the process of the forgetting curve

Seongnam Daegun’s journey to the throne

Did you also want to become the Crown Prince? No. Just the thought of becoming one gives me a headache. In that case, you did not fail to become the Crown Prince but chose not to. So why would you be ashamed? To force yourself to do something you do not want. That is shameful.
