I'm an American expat in Brunei. I'm a serial expat who has lived also lived in China and Romania. I love this lifestyle and have no intention of moving back to the States any time soon. I'm a secular humanist who is really into reading, wildlife, synchronized swimming, swimming, international relations, travelling, eating, cooking, and spending too much time online. I studied a bit of Spanish at university level, but it has languished after a couple of years of neglect. I want to revive it and maintain it as my go-to additional language wherever I go. I would love to live somewhere in South or Central America one day, so hopefully my knowledge will have a practical application somewhere down the line. I work as a teacher of Secondary English to both EAL and native English speakers. If you have any advanced questions or need help with an essay and are a native Spanish speaker, feel free to say hi!

    Objetivos de fitness Mi objectivos de fitness son hacer ejercicio para 250 minutos para una semana. El ejercicio tiene que ser intensidad moderada or más. Ahora, ha hecho 125 minutos de ejercicio. Domingo: 40 minutos de excursionismo y 60 minutos de nadado rápido (creo...no fue lento). Lunes: 25 minutos de yoga, nivel intermedio - mas defícil que pensé! Totales hasta el momento: 125 minutos. 125 minutos mas. Creo que no es demasiado defícil, pero tengo que pensar sobre el mucho.

    Some people say that office work is perfect and it is one of the best places for career ladder.

    You should say "it's one of the best places to climb up the career ladder." You can't just say something is the best "for career ladder" because a ladder is useless if you're not going to use it. 

    They put their foot in it because usually it is not true.

    "Put your foot in it" is better for embarrassing - sometimes funny - mistakes. Like, "They really put their foot in it this time!". 

    You get up very early so as not to be late to the office. You can be a bit out of sorts or at loggerheads with your girlfriend; it doesn’t matter because your boss will hit the roof if you are not in the office on time. You always have to be as right as rain. Therefore, you put on casual clothes and leave your home. On the way to the office, somebody might get your goat and spoil your mood. After that, you come to the office like a bear with a sore head.
    You always do the same work and talk with the same people for a donkey’s years. Eternal daily routine. You try to pull your sock up in order to get a promotion and a higher salary. However, your pig-headed boss gives you a cold shoulder. It is not allowed for you to say something against him. You'd much rather hold your tongue.
    Your colleague can say: “Come on, dude! Call it a day! Let’s get the hell out of here!” Nevertheless, you understand that in that case you will get into hot water and can be given the sack.
    On the way home you walk into a supermarket and buy junk food for a song because your salary is almost over. Finally, home, sweet home! But you are a deadbeat and still hard up. Suddenly comes the understanding: you are completely cheesed off with this life.

    Your use of "deadbeat" is a bit off - deadbeat is usually used to describe a parent who doesn't adequately provide for their kids, like "My deadbeat Dad drank all our money away." 

    Grim story dude. I hope it's not autobiographical.

    First notebook entry: Introducing myself

    Hello everybody! My name is Alya, I'm from Uzbekistan but I live in Russia. I'm 17 years old. And I would like/love to learn English and Turkish because I like learning languages, meeting new people and cultures. If you wish to learn Russian or Uzbek, I will gladly help you. Thanks.

     

    I'd love to learn Russian, but maybe when my Romanian is better. ^_^

    What about books?

    I like to read books, but doesn't it seem to you that reading books takes away us from reality? We create nonexistent ideals for ourselves. What do you think?

     

    Remember that "ideals" and "ideas" are different words. Ideals = perfect things that we compare the real world to, like "Roberd Downy Jr is my ideal husband" or "Trotsky was an idealistic man". Idea = anything in the mind that comes from understanding something "That's a good idea!".
