I just saw this thread and didn't even know there was a thread about drawing (haven't seen it yet), so this is just a coincidence, but: I would like to take classes on how to paint. I'm not sure what material/paint type I am interested in yet (probably whatever seems to be the easiest to learn, as I harbor strong doubts of being capable!). I sometimes wonder if painting could be a healthy outlet for my more melancholy side, which could really use a healthy outlet at this point in life. It would also fit in well with my recent feelings of being tired of all-things-computer . In my current full time job, although it always feels satisfying to make progress on my reporting queries, yet, once my 8 hours is done I walk away from the computer secretly hoping I never see it again somehow!
It's funny you mention chess - I've played it casually all my life, but am absolutely horrible at it. However I have no interest in becoming better, although I do open the App on my phone once a year to play someone only to be reminded at how quickly I lose.
Fascinating that you want to learn Tagalog! Care to share more about what prompted this choice? I've known one person who spoke Tagalog but he was many years ago. I am currently in Mexico, in the far southern portion of Chihuahua state, with my wife's family as per our tradition. Glad to be able to speak Spanish, but need to improve my verb repertoire. These will probably be the only two languages I'll ever speak, as I owe it to my wife to be as capable as possible since she's the one who underwent the sacrifice of communication, culture & home to settle in my country
