Real Excitement

I am really excited by now just thinking of my most awaited trip out of town from my place. I and my housemate will go with our colleagues to the beautiful city of Shanghai. I am so eager to see and walk around the huge city again and this time I would get the chance to really walk into it's heart. I mean, shopping, go to museums, sightseeing, and of course eat in our fave Italian restaurants and the most beloved Starbucks. I'd surely buy my
SB mug there. Whew! Sooo excited by now,,,ookay got to sleep now just finished packing my things. Gaiety painted on my angelic face,,,heheh Grins.

Difficult to Find My Shoe Size Here

This afternoon I asked my friend to go with me and buy a pair of working shoes. I couldn’t get the exact shoe size really but I just settled down to a little lower than my foot size. Well, it’s different in here and I can say that I am being gifted with such a big feet. What I have bought is so nice and I am contented with it. I just hope it could serve for several months. It’s really hard to look for my size here and it takes me so much time to look for a bigger size. I am happy though coz my friend made it cheaper than the ‘fixed price’ for she really haggled well with the store owner. Grins.

Real Excitement

Right now I am really excited to go to Shanghai and Hangzhou. I am looking at my closet and I am starting to pack my things for Wednesday night’s journey. I cannot wait to go and ride the sleeper bus again. I know it could be nasty but I like it for I know there is something beautiful which awaits my holiday. Whew! Grins.

GenClean Time

I woke up early this morning and started to do my usual general cleaning session. I always have my general cleaning on Mondays since it’s my first day off. As for today, I am all geared up to do the early exercise – sweeping the floor, mopping it, and doing the laundry. Undeniably, I am more energetic today thinking that I’d be in Shanghai in two days time. Woohoo! Smiles.

Despite All

There were so many things that had happened in my life so far but I only linger on those which brought me smiles and laughters. After all, the most important thing is that I have learned many things from those and for those which were bad I know how to avoid and somehow prevent it to happen again. I'm now entrusting all to Him for I am completely nothing without Him in my life. He is the ultimate source of my all now and undeniably He is great and awesome God. Praise be unto Him! For all the things that I had been through and for all the things which I have to undergo in the future, I know He is just there to walk with me along the way, all throughout,,,despite of everything - I am truly blessed. Smiles.

Leap!


Though I’m tired with the trip today but it cannot be compared to my happiness and satisfaction on the trip. I had such a great and momentous excursion in Wuyi City with my colleagues. I had all sweat when I climbed the steep mountains but it was all worth it when I reached on top of each mountain most especially the Furong Gorge; it made me leap so high and said, “Yes! I made it!” indeed, it was an achievement when I reached on top and when I went down of each mountain it seems like I am such a great climber a professional one. Grins.

The Stupidest Thing I've Ever Done in My Life

On my way to home from the trip, I did the most stupid thing in my life. After having my nap on the bus, I got my digicam from my bag and started looking at the pictures I’ve got. Then, I begun to change some pictures and edit the camera settings until I got to the reformat part of it and out of my stupidity [if I am going to name it that way], it just clicked OK and then poof! the camera turned into NO IMAGE page and that’s it! I lost all the data I have in it. I was so totally dumbfounded and felt stupid! Gosh! What have I done!!! Anyway, as I told Anelie about it, she sympathized with me and said just come to think about what happened to my long treasured gift I lost in the hot spring last night. Finally, I felt a little bit fine and said, “Well, some things are done out of stupidity but at least I’ve learned from it and for that, I know what to do next and or never do it again that way.” She just grinned at me and said, “That’s life and it must go on, the show must go on. After all, those are just pictures and you still have your memoirs from the place which nobody can erase nor get from your mind.” Until this time, I am still feeling fatuous but not that much since I have realized many things from the encounter. I hope you guys learn from me and the lesson? “Do not do things out of curiosity nor experiment but think before you act. The mind is put on top of our body so as to make us think first and not the other way around.” Got me? Concurr? Grins.

Quite Funny

This morning I had two classes with toddlers. I was so amazed with my little kids coz they really memorized the lines in the action story about winter that we studied last week. It's really amazing how kids are apt to memorize things easily. The most remarkable thing that happened was this little girl named Venus. She is just so lovely when she starts to speak with her hardly made pronunciation especially when the words got homophone. We would just laugh at her in the end when she would end up mumbling words to me when we play ball games in class. They just love ball games apart from the undying jumping fcs and Kill the Teacher. Though things are tough with them at times but on the most part they are so challenging to deal with and the most fulfilling part of my teaching experience here. They all start with zero vocabulary and now they can go and speak something about basic and simple things around them. They are my sweet accomplishment here. Proud to say that :)

A Little Time Yet Maximised

I only have so little time now since I need to sleep early today. However little my time is, I am still posting some updates about my life here. I try to maximise my time for every minute and second counts. And for the fact that I couldn't turn back the wasted time, I must use my time to the fullest and try to enjoy each moment.

Well, as a matter of factly, now the loose days are about to end now since tomorrow would be Friday and that means that weekends are going to follow. OMG! That would be the busiest days of my life here as I will have three classes in a row on Saturdays and four in a row on Sundays. My schedule is totally opposite to yours or to my friends either. I couldn't spend too much time with them now since they are working on my days off which is Mondays and Tuesdays. Well, there is time for everything they say. I would be having my long vacation soon. I am happy to know that this afternoon my headmaster. We are going to have a long vacation this May for about six days he said. Whew! Woooohhoooo! I am happy! Looking forward for the six days makes me more energetic and enthusiatic every time I go to work. :)

WoW

I am so surprised and fulfilled for what I did a few hours ago. I chatted with my precious and my other friend here in my place. We exchanged whereabouts and other updates as well as plans for this coming holiday. What is more exciting is that I have successfully submitted my task. Whew! I am more fulfilled ever than before. I said WOW I did it. Thanks to my precious for helping me edit my post here. I am always missing you here as you always know. Online chatting isn't just enough for me but I must be contented with it for now. As for my friend here, he is in Hefei and is my constant chatter especially when waters are rough. He is always here to uplift me each time I feel weary and troubled. Thanks Tax! See you soon. :)

Thank You Ate

Ever since we were still young, she is my defender and protector from my mother's whips everytime I did something naughty. Grins. Now that we are miles apart from each other she is still the wind beneath my wings. That is why I am what and where I am right now because of her mighty hands and brilliant plan. Yes, somehow she is the one who helps me shape my mind and my ambitions in life. Through her powerful and encouraging words and parables, I am able to realize things and make them real. She is also the reason why I am into blogging coz of her coaxing me everytime we chat. She is the culprit of all these, hehehe. Thanks so much Ate Belle, words are not enough to say how much I am thankful to you. You know that. God Bless us all always.

Morning Ritual

I wasn't able to cook this morning as I scheduled it yesterday since I was up and slept so late last night. Gosh! Instead, I woke up at around 10 o'clock. I slept I guess around two in the morning today. Well, anyway it doesn't matter for today is my day off, heheh. I am going to have the chance to really relax and do the weekend chores. Something is exciting here, I am going to cook adobo again this time only pork.

I Am Happy

Though I am sad and sick these past few days it doesn't hinder me to feel such a warm and gay feeling while chatting with my friends and family online. I can now connect to the Internet anytime I want. More so, I don't need to go to my neighbor to connect and chat with my precious but in a minute I can click it on my laptop. Laptop! Yes at last I have bought my dream and got connected in just a matter of three days here in my apartment. I am so happy now that I don't need to worry if I go home early in the morning or late at night from chatting with my family and friends.

A Little Breather

Here I am right now taking a little breather in my usual spot in the netshop near my place. I haven't gone home yet coz I am spending time with myself here updating my online accounts. Today has been well with my parents' observations and classes especially with my rowdiest students. I could never ever dare to forget the name of the naughtiest boy in my afternoon class - Ian. He almost waned my patience this afternoon but gladly I was able to control myself. I just called my monitor and she scolded them for a few minutes. Dah mirisi jud lagi! heheh, I said to myself. Well, there are challenges along the way in whatever situation you are in your life right now, I could say and always remind myself every time I wake up in the morning.

As there are trials and tests, there are also great things that happen along the way which could boost my confidence. Not to mention the students who liked me as I am in and out of the classroom, the parents who are never tired to give thanks every after observation even they have a hard time saying thank you in English, and most of all the colleagues and my superior who always believes in me and my capabilities.

These are just but few of the honey I tasted here and still I am looking for more while working hard to achieve all my goals for this year and in the long-term. Sooner or later in my life, I could gladly share my experiences to the next generation what I have gone through and how I got through with all these things with full enthusiasm and courage. Grins.

Mornings and Solitude

This morning I was so nervous and anxious of my parent observation with my early learners. I woke up so early and went to school before its gate opens. I waited and strolled around the quiet neighborhood in the village. I always tell myself to bring my digicam with me but then again I failed. Next time I would really take pictures of the beautiful place here. Everytime I spend some time with myself spending quiet moments alone in solitude and prayer makes me more at peace and happy within. These are the things I like in the mornings here in Rui An. Happy face.

Amazingly Great!

For the past two days not to mention last week's free sessions with my student Karen, I had her and her mom in the school to coach her for the English speech contest this morning here in Rui An. I am so happy to know that she passed the elimination round and now she's into the next step of her goal. As her coach and teacher, I am giving all my best and patience for her to succeed in her dreams. She is so inspired to become an English teacher and like me to teach kids like her in the near future.

The funny thing that happened last Thursday was after her session with me her mom asked me what do I like to drink. I replied that an orange juice would be good. Indeed, I got a bottle of orange juice with two big cartoons of coconut palm juice in cans. I was just caught in awe upon seeing the man carrying the two cartoons inside the teacher's room that day. I really thanked her mom in her own tongue and she was really happy to hear I can speak some Chinese.

Definitely there would be more sessions with Karen but I don't mind it because it has been my pleasure to share my knowledge to everybody since day one.

The Unique Sporting Goods Store

Gather round ye children, and listen to this! There’s a revolutionary new type of headband that will blow all other basketball headbands right out of the water. It’s called a forcefield handband, and it comes between your child and a head injury. The Forcefield Headbands are lightweight sports headbands that look and feel just like normal headbands, but there’s one key difference. They reduce impact to the head by as much as 80%. You can find it at a great price at this sporting goods store. I just bought one for my cousin yesterday. He plays soccer. You see, you can wear this in practically any sport you want. Hosy on over to uniquesportinggoods.com, where I originally found it. It’s a hell of a site, and I’ll probably buy one for myself tomorrow. I may pick up some lock laces while I’m there too.

He is Not Deserving

A conceited man is not deserving of a love long saved by a woman whose never been kissed and is totally naive in how is it to love her opposite sex. Simply because he hasn't got the right qualities for a good-natured woman like you. He is just simply a nutcase who is not worthy to be treasured even just as friends. So, listen to me,,,from now and onwards,,,stop thinking about him and erase him in your memories forever.

A dAy tO ChErIsH fOrEvEr

I met this girl when I processed my papers in Wenzhou City last year. She works in KFC as part-time service crew. I could still remember even now how she made her way to introduce herself. Twas bit funny and cute when she handed me a napkin and a pencil and introduced herself while asking could you be my friend?, I am May...and so the chat went on for a few minutes until I finished my food and need to go.

We met for the second time today and it was really memorable indeed to spend time together with the person whom I met and known through exchanging emails, calls, and text messages since the time we met in KFC. She is just the right person who made my day so bright and wonderful. After I met her in SPR Coffee near our school in Wenzhou at around half past eleven, she brought me to Wenzhou University City where she is studying at the moment.

The university is just so perfect and conducive for studying. So spacious and wide buildings decorated with intricate landscapes with different kinds of flowers and trees. We walked for hours looking around while taking some good pictures in various colleges within the city. I had really a memorable time with her. We nibbled some crisps and goodies in KFC in their Central Business Building there and went on to stroll around the huge campus. I went home after the clock ticked five since I had to catch the bus going to my place before the last trip at around seven in the evening.

Chicken Pork Adobo for the First Time

This morning I got up early and cooked my breakfast. I had marinated some pork and chicken for my adobo today. Excitedly, I started to heat oil and started cooking. This is the first time I cook for myself here in my place because usually I just buy food outside or eat out.

I am always contented with just bread and Skippy until recently I finally realized that I need to do something different. That, I would start cooking and learning some recipes for a palatable and mouth-watering meal from now on. I need to start learning how to cook since it's one of the most important things a woman must learn in her life.
