Patience is a Virtue, Indeed!

Up until now, I haven't got a hold of my dearest laptop. Sad. It's still with my friend and I'm pretty sure he's doing his best to fix it. This is just another challenge for me testing my will-power of waiting for the time to use my own laptop. I'm just so blessed to have kind friends who're always willing to lend me a helping hand. I'm crossing fingers now hoping my lappy would be well very soon. I just miss it very much! Sighs. Now I can only say that really patience is indeed a virtue to be kept and developed. Sad face.

Thanks to Joseph! ;)

Since two days ago, I had my lappy broken after I installed a free antivi I downloaded online. Urgh! I just couldn't stand without Internet connection so I asked my friend if one of her connections were a computer wizard. I'm so lucky that she has one and actually right now I have the chance to update this blog o'mine. Smiles. Thank goodness. Smiles. I hope he can fix it soon so I won't have to borrow my friend's lappy. I just miss my lappy so much that I cannot stand without it. Sighs. I hope it would be fixed very soon. Worried. I know he can and will fix it for he's a computer wiz. Rest assured. Smiles. :)

I Would Surely Miss Her

This morning I almost went mushy when my colleague and idol of all teachers bid happy goodbyes to us all at school for she's going to deliver her baby sometime next week as her doctor said. I was so sad to know she's finally leaving for I don't have any body to look up to and talk with on break times, urgh! :( I hope to see her next school year for she's just a great teacher and I'm so sure everybody would miss. I hope she'd be having a great time while waiting for her due date. I cannot wait to see her new baby soon. Surely would update with her on Facebook. Smiles. This I'm sure won't cut our communication. Oh thanks to advanced technology! Grins. :)

Quite Somehow

It's been a great relief for me to know that somehow there's been a calming down of storms these past few weeks. I've finally adopted with the environment and the place here as I'm currently away from my comfort zones. I'm quite enjoying my days here now with all the lovely kids whose very sweet to me. Somehow they're becoming closer to me each day and I know our friendship won't end here. That's for sure. I hope we can have an awesome summer ender! Truly looking forward to having a water fight with them on the last day of school this July 1st! ;) Smiles.

Here I Go Again with My Busy Mind's Ramblings

This week's challenges are so profuse that I almost gave up but here I am again recharging all my energies for the next week's round of dummy runs. The classes went normal though I once got myself in a very awkward situation after I shouted at the most notorious class. A few seconds after I shouted at them I realized that I really can do it and that gave them proof that I can be a monster inside the classroom. It's not always that I can be like their close friend, you know. That day on, they started to behave well during my class and I hope that they won't change for the worst instead for the better. Grins. I don't know if I was doing the right thing though but it somehow lessen the noise inside the classroom. The next time I'd study what makes them tickle so I'd have a great day all throughout the week. Perhaps I need more readings on classroom management and teaching strategies specific for their ages.

The Best Health Insurance Plan for You and Your Family

As promised, here I am again with my updates. Well, for the first time in my life away from home, I realized the importance of having the right medical benefits as a working professional abroad. It is much more difficult to be sick away from one’s family and comfort zones I can say since I had had chicken pox three weeks ago and man it was like more than a corporal punishment on me. I had such a hard time with all the boils growing on my body for almost two weeks before it went away. Luckily I have my friend who has many contacts at the nearby hospital here. She brought me to the nearest women’s hospital where her friends are working. One is a nurse at the hospital’s pharmacy and the other one is a resident doctor.

Indeed when we got there, we didn’t go through all the hassles of admission. We just directly went through her friend and he processed everything for us. It just then occurred to me that as a foreign worker, I must have registered myself beforehand at the nearest hospital through my employer where I can get the most affordable health insurance for me to avail all the basic medical benefits whenever I get sick.

Right now, I’m very well and I’m back to work since last week. Truly, being aware of the basic medical health insurance highly pays off for a foreign worker like me. As I got myself busy on those weeks I didn’t go to work, I surfed the Internet about chicken pox and it’s where I got well-informed. Also, I found some helpful websites about finding the best health insurance benefits and plans like the america-healthinsurance.com. There, you’ll find more important information about getting the best insurance plans for you and your family.

It's Been Aeons! OMG!

It's been aeons since I last posted here and I can really say that I really do miss this blog, OMG! How I wished I updated this one every day. There have been a lot of things that happened in the past year and months. One major change is that I completely changed my working environment. That is, I've moved from China to Qatar! Right now I'm enjoying my life here in Qatar still teaching though but with Arab kids this time. Well, our school is international which makes my career even more colorful. Smiles. I love my life here and I can that even if I’ve got more challenges more often, it’s worth the experience. Well, I strongly concur to the idea that experience really is the best teacher. Smiles. Won’t you agree with me too? And oh, by the way I’d be posting and updating more of this site from now on. I just hope. Crossing fingers now. This means, I promise. Smiles.
