Raring to Go, Whew!

Up to now I am still awake and typing for too much excitement going on in my head for my trip to Beijing, China’s capital city this afternoon. I know I would really have fun there though I’d be traveling alone this time and yet I have to know those people I’m going with on this tour. I’d surely make many friends on my sole journey. Whew! I can imagine now setting my foot on China’s Great Wall and seeing the rest of the city’s highlights for five days stay in the capital city. I hope somebody on the tour speaks English so I couldn’t try hard on my spoken Chinese which is for survival purposes only. Grins. Well, let’s see what happens tonight until Wednesday. Oh, I have to ring home later for it’s the birthday of our youngest and only brother dear. Smiles. I miss them so much now that I am doing this passion to teach and explore outside my comfort zones. Whoaaahhh!

Discover the Mega Credit Card Deals

As I was busy surfing the Internet for the best tour packages for my upcoming holidays, I stumbled upon a great site for checking the best credit card deals. Not to mention that I need one for booking my package tour online though I already asked my friend to book for me since I haven’t got one until now. Well digging more on megacredit.com opened my mind on the issues of having credit cards, its advantages and disadvantages, and most interestingly how to repair poor credit.

I felt so lucky to have visited megacredit.com since it really helped me a lot most especially with their section on Credit Card Education Topics such as the one talking about how to maintain credit history. I’ve read their articles and those helped me a lot in choosing the best credit card. Those articles are so informative and succinct that even I haven’t got a credit card myself I know what and which credit card should I apply for in the future. Oh well, not to mention that megacredit.com also offers various services to help everyone who wants to get one and it’s really easy coz they offer everything online with easy access, fast, and secure transactions. Plus, their site’s interface is user-friendly thus it’s easy to navigate and apply for their best credit card deals.

UpDaTeS

Yesterday was my last day at work since I've got my days off on Wednesdays and Thursdays this term which makes me so happy and excited to have a movie marathon. Until now, I am still awake trying to watch as many movies as I can to amuse myself since I am alone today til October 3rd. My housemate was off yesterday for her early vacation in Singapore. I didn't bother to go with her since I have my own plans to travel alone and now I can't wait for Saturday. I am going to Beijing alone, oh not really alone coz I'm going with other people who are also on tour. I just hope somebody does speak English there if not much but a little would be great. Smiles.

Excited as a Lone Traveller

Huh! At last! I've got my tickets booked for a visit in two cities here in China - Beijing and Anhui. A five day trip to Beijing came first in my plan since I've got a total of 12 days vacation leave including the National Holidays here. I would come back and rest for two days at home and then go to Anhui Province to visit the magnificent Yellow Mountain in China - Huangshan. I am so happy upon receiving the receipts and itinerary, whew sounds ironic? My smile was from ear to ear and obviously I felt happier and more excited as the days are fleeting. I hope I could find a mate who speaks English during the trip so I wouldn't be so lonely. Oh well, this is what I am up to - adventure. Grins.

The Joy of Being Free

Right now I am obviously excited to book for my package tour to Anhui Province two weeks from now for my 12 days vacation leave. Whew! I couldn't sleep but think of the things I could do alone in a place where probably only me could speak English. I just hope by now that I could find a travelmate who does speak English. Grins. Oh well I'd be dozing off to bed now,,,til next post. Smiles.

The Most Important Thing Is

[just random thoughts from my idle mind]

FOR ME

There are only three important things
Faith
Hope and
Love

I can say this
'coz I've experienced putting faith in all things I do
while keeping hope that everything's gonna be fine
and of course

In all these things
LOVE is in the midst
T'is what I keep and try to hold on to no matter what others think
about yesterday, today, and the near future

All I know is that above all these, I have my GOD with me to guide me in everything I do.

Parting Time

I love meeting people but what I hate most is the time when each person goes and it's parting time. Bidding goodbyes is so hard for me most especially if I get so attached to that person and it hurts to see them go. However, that's the reality of life. Everything has it's end. What I mean by this is that, in this material world that we live in everything has it's own end. No matter how long the journey is there's always a dead end and that's a fact. Even cockroaches die. Smiles.

Oh well, I'm blabbering about this coz summer term has ended in our school which means other teachers are going to have their own lives somewhere and it's good bye time again, whew! We had celebrated several farewell parties already but tonight is so touching and memorable. I wanted this to last forever but I cannot coz I know letting go is the right choice and the immediate solution. I hope I can get on with this first week without them. They have made such a great difference in my life here and they've taught me many things. I would surely miss em all. Sighs sadly.

Parting Time

I love meeting people but what I hate most is the time when each person goes and it's parting time. Bidding goodbyes is so hard for me most especially if I get so attached to that person and that means I have to take time for myself getting over with the feeling of longing for that person's presence in my daily life. Just recently we bid goodbyes to two of our dear colleagues. One is going back home in England and one is going to work in the nearby city - Shenzhen. I'd really miss them for sure for they are so friendly and dear to me. We are good friends and I am sure to see them soon whenever I have more than enough money to visit them. Francis the Irish guy who is going to work in Shenzhen is my dear friend. Louise is dearest to me. She is so sweet, meek, and kind. Indeed a very loving friend. I'd surely miss her in fact, I cried when she gave me a letter with a sweet gift before she left. Crying.

I'll Miss You

I have been with many people and they help me carve myself into what I am now. One of the most remarkable person in my life is Louise. Though she never considered me special but she is to me the most wonderful foreign friend I have. Eventhough I only had a few months with her but she was just so influential most especially when she talked about life and living. There are so many things we commonly shared and now it's time for me to say good byes to her since she also need to follow her heart and dreams in life. I know the following days without her must be tough but I am getting ready to face it. Huh! This is the downside of it. Sad. However, as the song goes from Garry V's, 'Letting go is not just so hard to do.' Moreover, 'Letting go makes you understand.' Smiles.
