Sprechen Sie Englisch?

8/5/09


When I started this blog, I saw to it that I write articles that are long enough to be categorized as a worthy read.


As days, months passed by I ran out of ideas, I relied on my photos to take space on my blog, literally putting into use the cliche 'a picture paints a thousand words.'


I blame three things not only for the lack of creative juices but english posts as well. One, I am speaking two other languages that English has to take a back seat. I see to it that my kids speak tagalog and I practice German outside the house.


Second, I do not have the time to write lengthy posts as I allot myself about two hours of blogging only. Priority goes over to my City daily Photoblog, ViennaDaily.


Lastly, I haven't been reading books much. Honestly, even my bible's pages are getting (un-)crumpled for sitting in the bookshelf sometime now. My imagination has really dried up and my writing 'rusty'.


------

I guess I need to be like the little boy above. He would take the dictionary, browse it as if he can read. I need to read, take note of the words used, how they are used and get that into writing. I seriously need to make use of the two hours blogging and write about anything under the sun. This is my new resolve, let's see what happens ;-)


By the way, Sprechen Sie Spansich?


I use altavista's babelfish translation when I need to check on words I don't clearly understand. Months ago, I noticed this error and was disappointed to still see it there today.
