Mahal kita. [mah-hahl' kee-tah']
I think one of the reasons I'm convinced that Andy and I will spend the rest of our lives together is he is committed to learning Filipino. It's an interesting experience because here's a guy who already speaks 3 languages (English, Farsi, and French, thank you very much.) and he's having such a hard time learning Filipino. But, as he would say, c'est bon!
We were at Starbucks today and I was trying to teach him the words
masaya and
malungkot. So far he can say stuff like
Magandang umaga, mahal. and
Mahal kita. and it's really cute. (He's such a darling, really.) And when I taught him the word
masaya he got this look of concentration on his face.
He was trying to string words together!
I gave him a few seconds before I said, "You don't know enough words, babe."
He laughed and said, "You're right. I don't know enough words. But you know what I was going to say, right?"
"Maybe."
"I'm happy because you love me."

Randoms things about me
I'm Kitten :)
I get a year older every 17th of August. I am a Leo, and I carry all traits associated with that zodiac.
Right now, I'm twenty years old and I'm loving it. They say we're only as young as we feel. I feel like I'm five.
I would never leave the house without my Zen and my E2. The latter connects me to the world; the former takes me away from it.
If I were to choose a word to describe my life, that word would be
crazy.
I am in love with the stars. I am in love with the rain.
I am a Rutgers University student, and I want to graduate with an English degree. An English-Psych double major would be nice. An English-TCert would be even better.
I want to be a teacher. I want to be writer. I want to be both.
I thrive on indie and emo. Mae, The Spill Canvas, Copeland and Daphne Loves Derby - these are the guys that I listen to. I listen to other bands here and there, but mostly those are the bands I follow. That being said, I'm a mainstream moron.
There's no feeling more lovely than being carried away. People don't usually think of me as somebody spontaneous, but I like being swept away as much as the next girl.
I fall in love easily, but it is really hard for me to fall out. Really hard.
I am very fragile.
I am tolerant of almost everything except one thing: intolerance.
I am an extensive reader. I thirst only for meaning, nothing else.
I love my friends <3
I am extremely spiritual but not religious.
Things I want to do in my life time
Get a job.- Save up enough money to go back home -
wherever that is if I ever had one before I'm 40.
- Write a book.
- Sing for a Disney movie.
- Buy a house on top of a hill.
- Go bunjee jumping.
Travel halfway around the world.- See Italy.
Find the one person who makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same time.Draw and paint.Learn how to play Sudoku.- Volunteer for American/Philippine Red Cross or UNHCR.
Quit smoking.
