The Four Things that I Wanna Learn

Hey there, World!

Hours ago, me and my groupmates organized a seminar that is about Training and Development. Organizing a seminar was one of our requirements to finish the subject, "Seminar and Workshop." Since its for the completion of the subject, we planned and organized the whole event and I'm glad that everything went great and we could breathe a bit easily and focus more on the damn Feasibility Study (and other subjects too.) The resource speaker was Ms. Swanee Gumatay and she was great upfront, even though she admitted that she could barely answer our professor's question. While the seminar was on going, it made me remember the things that I want to learn in my lifetime (since our speaker's point for her presentation is about lifelong learning.)

Here are the four things that I wanna learn:

1. Learn to speak, read and write Japanese. I put this item first because I think it's something major for me to learn a whole new language. It feels like a great achievement for me if I learn to speak such a complicated language. Believe me, I tried learning from the internet and I'm only at the part of writing hiragana. Also, another reason is that I'll be able to use it if I go to Japan and watch anime.

2.Learn to play the piano. I played a Playstation 1 game named, "Legend of Mana." I went to an abandoned city, and I heard the musical score for that place. The more I hear it, the more that I fall in love with it. The piece is named "City of Flickering Destruction," and it's played on the piano. After hearing that beautiful tune, I wanted to learn to play the piano so that I can play that piece. The piano is my favorite instrument and I actually learned to read musical notes, just so I can read the music sheet of "City of Flickering Destruction." Though the actual playing of it isn't much mastered yet because our keyboard is old and can't be played anymore, and my left and right hands aren't trained to be played together yet. I actually look up to people who can play the piano, like Alodia Gosiengfiao. "City of Flickering Destruction" isn't the only thing I wanna play, in fact there are other songs and musical pieces that I wanna play (one of them is "Davy Jones Locker," a musical score from the movie, "Pirates of the Caribbean.") Ruth Anciano, my classmate and groupmate in organizing the seminar, taught me a bit while we were cleaning up the audio visual room.

3. Learn how to bike. When I was a kid, my parents didn't taught me how to bike. Not even my older brothers because they only taught me how to use a computer and play video games. I remembered what my professor in Logistics Management and International Management said that your life isn't complete if you don't know how to bike. That statement made me think, "Wow, am I really missing out on the joy of biking?" so then, I thought about it... and there I suddenly wanted to learn to bike. I wanna feel the wind on my face when I bike and use it to roam around our little subdivision. I asked my significant other to teach me, since he knows how to ride a bike... but he hasn't taught me yet because of the lack of bikes. But he said soon he will teach me.

4. Learn how to drive a car. I put this item last because I dunno if I'll be given the chance to learn how to drive and I don't have a car yet. I saw some of my batchmates from high school knows how to drive and practically have their own cars. They post pictures in Facebook about them driving and I thought, "Whoa, they have their own cars and they can drive." I guess I felt envious seeing them like that, but I won't let envy get a hold of me. If I get the chance to learn I will take it.

I hope that in the near future, I get to learn all these skills. I tend to have a declining motivation if I learn new things by myself. Probably because I am self-taught and I have this thought like, "I'll do this next time." I guess I'll have to keep reminding myself why I wanted to learn those things. And not just learning Japanese, piano, biking, and driving; I wanna learn more things too. If I learn new things, I'll be a better me.

I think this is the longest post I made so far. If you made it reading up to this part then I thank you for taking a part of your time to read this.

I hope you enjoyed reading, and I'll write again soon. :)
