In a span of 3 days, 3 different people have told me how my English is so good and how I don't have an accent, which is usually the case with foreigners. That is to say, I sound just like them. So I'd pass for an American? Or a homegrown Asian for that matter? Well... One even told me I can speak it better than other Americans. I was actually expecting to hear this at least once during my whole stay here in DC. But all within a period of 3 days? That's just... funny. And it's not something amazing really. Many other Filipinos could speak just as good as me, even better. Heck, just go to Ateneo and you'll find A LOT of that.
I should be writing my paper now but it's just so tiring doing so, even just thinking about it. So I'm just blogging.
As some of my friends know, I am writing for a sports website about football. I just thought it will be good if I venture into another site. I found CaughtOffside and thought about joining that one, too. The editor said I write pretty well, but he's asking me if I could commit to submit an article every week since they don't have a regular Chelsea writer. It will be lovely to be the sole regular Chelsea writer for the site. It also means commitment not just to the site but to the club itself. God knows how much I love Chelsea. Now I'm thinking about it. Can I? For the 2 months or so that I have been part of Sportingo, I have submitted only 5 articles. Especially now that I am working and studying at the same time, I'm not quite sure if I could commit. I have my Fridays off alright, which means I could probably write on Thursday nights but it's difficult when laziness creeps in because I could be REALLY lazy. Now even writing about football/Chelsea, which was supposed to be just a hobby/pastime has become an issue for me.
And have I already mentioned how I don't wanna leave DC anymore? Oh yes, I have.
