Tuesday! It was time for another Korean Lecture and Bible Studies!
I brought my notebook, pen, Nintendo DS (:P), a book, my Gameboy Advance with its wormlight and games, a Scrabble set, and a couple of pandesal (as we Filipinos might know, a type of bread. :))
I brought my Gameboy Advance because my best friend wanted to buy it. So, I pitched in a wormlight, and my a game. :)
I brought my Nintendo DS in case I got bored to death while waiting for my friend and for classes to start. Hey, it was handy. When I was commuting to Katipunan, I thought I was late for class, but then I wasn't. Funny, I thought Koreans made a big deal about time. Heh, okay. So that was just a guess. :P So, I played the DS while waiting for my class. My class came first before my friend did.
I brought my book because... Uh... Erm... To show off that I read a book? LOL! I don't know. Maybe just in case someone borrows my DS and I was left with nothing to do. Its title is, "The Wind in the Willows" by Kenneth Grahame.
The Scrabble set? Oh, I'm sure you know by now that I like Scrabble. :) You do, don't you? Well, my best friend and I are the one of school's varsity players when it comes to Scrabble. :P Hey, I'm telling the truth! We played a while after both of our lessons. :)

First, we had our Bible Lecture. Matthew 17:23-27 was the main topic.
The Temple Tax
24 After Jesus and his disciples arrived in Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax came to Peter and asked, "Doesn't your teacher pay the temple tax?"
25 "Yes, he does," he replied. When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. "What do you think, Simon?" he asked. "From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes—from their own sons or from others?"
26 "From others," Peter answered.
"Then the sons are exempt," Jesus said to him. 27 "But so that we may not offend them, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours."
(Thank you www.biblegateway.com for the chapter and verses! :))
So, we discussed that.
The gist is that we should spread the Word to people. That is why we live. That is the reason why we live. Pretty nice, eh?
I actually like the Bible lessons. They're so informative. Plus, you get to ask questions! :) Okay, so you can ask questions at any other Bible lecture. :P

Then came Korean Lecture. We reviewed pronouncing double vowels. :) I think I did pretty well. Then, we studied pronouncing double consonants, final consonants, and double final consonants. Oh, pronouncing them was a pain in the *a****! As in. my larynx kinda hurted after that.
Remember that post I wrote about my classmates teaching me some new Korean words? Well, this lesson, the teacher taught us about the new words I know. So, I got to teach my fellow classmates. Well, at least my partner in the dialog.
My classes ended. I went outside to see Joseph, my best friend, having his piano lessons. Well, being bored, I played the keyboard beside him. His Korean piano teacher went away to let him practice on his own and talked with our Korean Language instructor. So we both played. Play play play play play play. Then, Joseph's piano teacher came back and caught me playing the worship songs that were with the keyboard. She caught me playing "Lord I Lift Your Name on High." She went prowling around Joseph and I, and started 'chanting' the lyrics of the song. LOL. Okay, so her 'chanting' sounded just like the song I was playing. :P
After Joseph and I played the keys, we went to sit on one of the pews in the middle of the room. Okay. I guess I'll tell you about that place.
If you've come from Katipunan and has entered AGCOR Building, you climb up a couple of flights of stairs, make a few turns, then straight into a narrow, wooden corridor leading to the intestines of P.A.C.E. BTW, AGCOR Building is like a condominium, if I'm not mistaken. :) Once you enter the modest door of P.A.C.E., in front of you is a corridor leading the the worship place and on your left and your right are lecture rooms. Those are where you get taught Korean Lessons, Guitar Lessons, Korean Lectures, etc. etc. :P Now, if you go take a short walk through the corridor to your right, before you enter the worship room, you see the kitchen. As you enter the worship room you see a column of pews, and another lecture room to your right. You also see a stage, along with a podium up front. After the column of pews, you see a computer--a super cool Korean computer. And if you're standing in front of the stage, to your right, you see a couple of keyboards and a drum set. Near the keyboards is Lecture room #4.
:P I hope I described the place well enough.
So, after Joseph and I sat on a pew, we played Scrabble. His piano teacher didn't know the game so she asked a little while Joseph and I were playing. I gave her the How to Play booklet so she could understand the game more. :P
La dee dah. Joseph won. His piano teacher won (she asked us if we wanted avocado, and we refused. So, she got more. :P) I lost. TWICE. We played Scrabble once, but why twice?
After the game, as I went home, I put my father's gold and something Pierre Cardin watch in my bag. I was pretty sure I placed it in my bag. Then, I went home while practicing and talking to myself the things we learned for that day.
Fast forward. Hey, I'm home! I unpacked my bag, and guess what was missing. :) Oh, right. Yup. Dad's Pierre Cardin. Good thing my parents didn't get mad.
