How I’m Learning French Pt. 2
Update: Unfortunately, Babbel isn’t offering live classes anymore.
I’m taking French classes again! I started posting them again on TikTok, so I’m currently receiving questions on how I’m learning the language, what platform I’m using, and most importantly, the cost. Since I’m no longer using Lingoda, I decided to make a separate post for Babbel Live. If you’re interested in reading my experience with Lingoda Sprint, click here.

The commonplace section of my notebook is my favorite. I call it my ‘life notes’—a collection of quotes, insights, book excerpts, fun facts, new words I’ve learned—gathered for future reference. I have a digital version of this in my Notion where I can easily search for keywords, but I eventually stopped updating it. There’s just something extra satisfying when I see it on paper. Also, I can circle and underline words, I can add stickers, put my little comments on the side, and I just feel like I retain more from what I write rather than from what I type.

My Little NYC Stationery Haul
I was excited to go stationery store hopping in New York—especially whenever I see Raquel’s NYC posts and videos. Well, I was excited in general because it was our first time visiting the States. Being first-timers, there were a lot of things in our itinerary, but I’m glad I was able to squeeze in some time to go to stationery stores.
I managed to check out four shops, and I wasn’t really looking for anything in particular—I just went with whatever caught my interest. It might be dangerous to wander into these stores without some kind of a list, but my journaling friends tell me that I have the most restraint when it comes to stationery shopping, so I trusted myself that I won’t go overboard 😁

Missing My Tall Little Sister
I am currently relistening to Mark Manson’s ‘backwards law’ podcast episode, and I found myself involuntarily reaching for my copy of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck, which my sister gave as a bon voyage gift when we moved to Canada in 2018.
My sister filled this book with pictures of us, photos of our favorite movie/tv characters, inside jokes, and sweet messages. I haven’t finished this book yet, which means I haven’t read everything she had written down, and I love that there are still sweet notes to uncover after 6 years.

Home Chef No More
I miss hearing Kenneth say, “Wowwww..” everytime nagluluto ako. Medyo nakukulitan pa ko sa kanya dati kasi araw-araw nya kong tinatanong, “Anong pagkain natin?” Pero ngayon, wala nang nagtatanong ng ganun. Nami-miss ko yung dependency nya sakin pagdating sa food. Yung dating annoying, hinahanap-hanap ko na ngayon. Ugh life.
