My Life so Far

These past few days and months has been so taxing on my part having whole day classes and loads of things to do at school. Oh well, I am so happy that it ended last week and that now we are back to normal schedules and loads. I know that there are so many challenges to come my way since I would be handling toddlers in early learner classes which is indeed a blessing to me. This would then support me for my next plan next year. I hope I could achieve all my dreams. So far I have been really blessed. Smiles.

Sick and Clogged

Today I am N-O-T really feeling very well physically for I got colds recently. Due to sudden changes of weather, I beleive I got this and that last week's abrupt schedule change took part of this malady. Sad face. Oh well, this has been my life here at work most especially during the winter season. I am so grateful even to my ever sensitive colleague and class monitors who offered some help, advice, and they even bought some medicines for me. I have a quite relaxed schedule this week and I am truly happy for it at least I can take a break this week. Tomorrow is Thursday and even then I am so excited for Saturdays because that's the last day of work at school though we are only entitled for a day off. Grins. Even then, I am still happy though sick and clogged [noseeee,,,heheh]. Smiles. Good day everyone!

After Depression

These past few weeks I wasn't really up to my confidence at work. I felt so down and I couldn't talk with anyone clearly so I withdrawed myself and take aback during breaks spending most of my time alone doing stuffs and planning on my laptop. I stopped talking for long with anyone in the office except when I have to clarify some things with them. To all their curiosity, one day, my colleague who was so concerned about me and I guess she is my real fried here, asked me how am I which opened up to a long personal conversation it lasted for an hour during our break time.

Well, I only opened up to her and nobody else in the office though one of my class monitors know something about my frustrations in one of my problem classes. I really trust her that I am so thankful to her for listening to my mind's ramblings that time. Her reassurance kept me going up to these days and her support makes me more confident each day as we traverse on this toxic schedule in summer. I hope I could spend more time with her but I couldn't since she would be going home as well as travel to the States after this term.

I could only have her memories with me as long as I live for I know that it would be far from possibility to go and visit her. Well, if I'd be more than successful than I could think by now and in the coming years then perhaps I could really make our dream come true. That is, to visit her and spend more time with her as we would enjoy ourselves in Disneyland Paris. Smiles.

Now, I could only create mental images for what I want in my life in the future. I don't know if it would come true but I know there is nothing impossible if one has determination and willingness to take risks in life. I could forever thank her for making me laugh, realize things, and make things more simple whenever I think life is complicate and miserable. Thank you so much and I hope I could meet you soon in your hometown and personally hand you one of our favorite American TV series - Prison Break of whatever season it may be. Smiles.

Truly, friends are easy to find but real friends are hard to find as it needs time to grow and mature. Tested with time and challenges along the way as gold and diamond are tested by fire. Smiles.

My First

This afternoon I went out with Kevin - our computer wiz at school to buy my dreamed IPod Classic. I was very excited to see my wish come true - to own my first IPod! Whew! My heart was beating fast as we climbed the stairs of the computer store. I hurriedly looked for the Apple sign and followed Kevin. He walked so fast and led me through the wide selection of gadgets from Apple. My eyes were bulging as I saw all the IPod series whew! I stared at my dreamed IPod classic and bought the 80GB one since unfortunately they don't have the 160GB one which I fancy the most. Nevertheless, I am truly contented with my 80GB IPod classic. I decided to buy the white one which I like best. I also bought one for my brother - an IPod shuffle; the silver one. I didn't tell him yet bout this. Grins. I will just surprise him one of these days. Truly this day is such a fulfilling day and I am so happy with what I've got. Smiles. Right after we bought my IPods, I decided to eat my drunch with Kevin and as my treat for him since he has been doing his best to give me more help when I needed something and that something means anything that I need here. There has been a lot of favors he has done for me so now is my time to give him a treat. Smiles. We decided to eat in a fancy beefsteak restaurant nearby the computer store - Houcaller which has the best beefsteak in the city. Indeed we had a great conversation while eating our grub in the restaurant and had more than enough fill. I was really full and fulfilled today. Smiles. And, while we were on the taxi going home,,,a thought flashed in my mind - a digicam and a mobile phone. Perhaps,,,the next things to buy? Grins.

Really Tired

Today I went home early directly right after my fun activity at five p.m. I just felt that I need to rest early and I need to take a breather. I went home and I decided to buy my personal stuffs for next week's consumption so off I went to the nearest supermarket and bought some goodies. I have to stock for myself so I won't worry what to eat next week whilst in the midst of my super hectic schedule. Sad. Frowning face. Right now I want to rest but I ain't sleepy yet so here I am tiring myself up with watching some films while chatting with some friends. Whoaaahhh! That's the meaning of tired. Grins.

The Show Must Go On

It has been days now this idea keeps running into my mind and after having a short talk with my colleagues yesterday I somehow felt fine. Now I can see a bit clearly and the issue of perfection isn't that solid in my mind. There are people who are 'perfectionist' in their own unique ways and some others would try so hard to keep up with their expectations which is the issue at hand. Apparently, somebody is coming to our team with that same kind of personality. Well, if he would be pushing into my limits and I couldn't go so far for the I could say by now that maybe I have to consider some things. Quitting isn't definitely the answer and I ain't a quitter. I have to go on no matter how many tries I've got like the Kung Fu Panda who defeated the selfish and black-hearted tiger. Well, I'm so inspired by that marvelous film after I watched it two days ago. Smiles. After all, Life Must Go On.

Great Day

After such a rewarding day yesterday, here I am now feeling like a bird flying high in the skies not minding what will happen today. I’m in an ecstatic moment that I feel like not doing anything but pamper and spoil myself to go online surfing the whole day - my addiction. I just love it more than anything to do at home. Yesterday was the last day of all my classes here. I am pretty much free now that I don't need to go to school early this Wednesday and prepare my lesson plans. Whew grins! Really I felt like thorns were taken from my body every time I finish my classes two days ago. Oh, well, as much as I was happy to end my naughty classes that the irony I felt within every time I end my favorite classes as well. They are just a great bunch of fast learners who loves everything that I do with them in class most especially the strategies I’ve adapted for them and the games and activities I played with them. Today I feel at most with myself and more upbeat that I woke up early this morning with a big smile on my face. Smiles. Now, I can do everything that I like best. Cooking, doing the laundry, general cleaning, and of course after all these,,,Internet surfing. Smiles.

My Happiness Reasons Are,,,

1. Having a nice apartment to live while I am far away from my comfort zones.
2. Having a super supportive DOS at my side at school.
3. Having cool and gay friends around me while I'm feeling sad and homesick.
4. Having something to eat and cook at home.
5. Having a work which gives me more things to learn and challenges to make me stronger than before.
6. Having supportive parents and significant other in my life who are always willing to wait and understand.
7. Most of all, having a never-failing God who is always there for me no matter what,,,
>S-M-I-L-E<

So Fulfilling Afternoon

As the spring term ends, I feel a sweet tinge in my being that says 'Happy Weekends!!!'. Indeed, I am truly happy and fulfilled today because I have had a great class and I bonded with my students for the last time in our class this term. I would surely miss them. Now, that I have had with them for like two terms already I want to have them given to another teacher this summer and not to me. I want to have another set of students so it would be beneficial for me and my students. Sometimes, I don't like to see them for I found their faces too usual and boring! Hahah! Oh well, those were the times for today has come to a close for us to move on and learn more. Smiles. I want to write more but this picture could tell you more. Smiles. Good night to me and good night to all...I got to hit the bed now,,,smiles.

Pre-birthday Gift

Today before I hit the bed, I chatted with my life. We had a great conversation sharing a lot of updates about anything and everything. This is the beauty of advanced technology, the chance for people who are separated by miles of distance to get to see and talk with each other. Thanks to advanced technology! It simply rocks! Smiles. I consider this chat as a birthday gift since we cannot celebrate my birthday together with my family for I am far from them now. Well, I only have to wait for not more than half a year more to go. Smiles. This, is my only motivation to keep on going here.

Unwell

Today is a bit disappointing with my classes on some parts but I need to think positively and focus. I need to really focus on what I am doing these days most especially that the summer term is fast approaching and I would be terribly busy at that time. Yes, indeed summer is the busiest days of our lives here at school. Well, I need to prepare myself for it and reserve more energy to fight against boredom, disappointment, and burnout. I hope I can make it through. Sad but trying not to be.

As the Summer Term Comes

As the summer term is fast approaching, I am dreading of a much more busy schedule and truly hectic days of work. Though it has its advantages so to say there are much more disadvantages rather than the good. First, there is not enough time to really plan and polish one's lessons which I could say that is not really good for in order to have a really great class to run the foundation of the plan must be very good. Second, there isn't enough break time in between classes which only means that for those who are fully-loaded it would be like hell everyday. Sad. Third, everybody is very busy on their own business and there isn't enough time to brainstorm for ideas, activities, and games for the class. Here, we do have a regular meeting every Fridays in the afternoon. However this should stop for the summer term instead would be just consultation type one-on-one discussion with anybody who is free. There are so many downsides of summer but I should stop looking at it for it would only worsen the idea of fun and enjoyment. There is nothing to do but just get it on and I'd try my very best to have fun and enjoy while the weather is hot and thus a perfect time to cool off in the swimming pool nearby. Smiles.

Shocked and Confused?!

I went to school after lunch today with my house mate and when we arrived there she immediately looked at the weekly schedule. She noticed that I have a scheduled Life Club tonight and I was caught in total awe and confusion overwhelmed me. Then and there I started asking do I really have a class tonight? Well nobody can answer my query except my DOS so I decided to ring him on his mobile though I'm aware that today is his day off. Well, I just asked for clarification on my schedule and he apologized and confirmed to me that I don't have any class tonight. Whew! I felt a nail was taken from my flesh at that time for in the first place I never thought of any preparation at all. I just came to school to prepare for my classes this week and that's it. So, I planned for the week's classes and went home early. Smiles.

MP4 or Shuffle? or Both?

Well, right now I am a bit shaky on my decision to buy an MP4 or an IPOD Shuffle. I am just tempted most especially at times when I got to travel and I have nothing to do with boringness inside the sleeper bus like when I went to Shanghai and Hangzhou several weeks ago. More so, when I go to school alone and I need to listen to some cool and relaxing music I don't have any player with me. I know this is not really a necessity but a luxury to my life here. Well, at times I just like to pamper myself too much. Would I or wouldn't I buy one? Mayn't or might? I guess I just need more days to really discern on this matter. Check my priorities first? That's the first thing to do for now. What do you think?

Windows of One's Soul

They say that the eyes are the windows of the soul. I concurr to this fact that really the eyes can tell what the person really means what he thiks and feels. Yes, we can verbally say what we want but deep inside we couldn't hide what we truly feel and they eyes could tell. If you are really observant to a person when she talks then you could see through her eyes when she is really telling you the right thing or not. Though science and technology are doing their good job through innovating different types of tests to know if a person is really telling the truth or not. In other cases like in our daily lives, we use just our intuition or as what other say our instinct. Yes and even others are much gifted in this area or they are just so sensitive and open. For an instance, between lover's talk or even best friend's telling each other's secrets. Sometimes we just rely completely on this side irregardless of the other facts to consider which I think is not justifiable. Well, whatever may it be it really depends on how a person reacts and how she sees things in her own perspective. Smiles.

Glad to Chat with You My Life

I am so happy today since I don't have class as I said so I went home so early. Hurriedly I turned on my laptop and chatted with my significant other. We went bubbling with each other for nearly three hours before he bids goodbye since he's got some things to do at home. I really missed my place and everything! Sighs. He just said that I have to enjoy where I am right now and I guess he is right. I have to make the most of my days here while I am still here. Next year is about to come and let it worry for itself. What is mos t important is NOW not yesterday nor tomorrow. As what the line of a song states, 'Tomorrow never comes.' Smiles. Do you concurr?

So Early at School

I am so early at school today. I need to since I have no work and I want to stay at home after six to chat with my significant other. Grins. Well, I am happy that I don't have any class tonight and I am just here in school to prepare my lesson plans this week. I am busier than a bee on weekends most especially on Sundays as I have four classes in a row. Frowns. Okay, got to get back to work now. I guess I am not that sleepy. Smiles. Got to write more later.

Got Busy with Chatting and HomeP Hopping Again!

There is nothing so feeling free except when it's my days off. Today is Monday my day off and its ironically spent apart from my friends. This a reason why I couldn't hang out with my newly found friends here since I am as busy as a bee while they are as free as a bird. Whew! My oh my! Gosh it's now almost two o'clock and I haven't started my general cleaning. I think I have to start now and gear up so I can finish before six this afternoon. Got to go! Write more later. Grins. To be edited. :D

So Busy with HomeP Hopping

Gosh! I got really hooked on browsing on my other friends' photos. And now it's almost one in the morning. I guess I need to gear up with this again before going to sleep since I feel like sleeping without thinking of pending tasks to finish tomorrow. I have to do this and sleep later maybe at around three. Whew! Powerfull. Grins.

I Had Fun with My Adult English Club

Whew! For the first time and again, I had fun with my adult English club. We played place your bets in 45 minutes. We knew the time wasn’t enough for us to cover up all the word pairs in the game. We stopped on the fifth pair for somebody knocked at the door and said it’s time to go home. So, we just went over and cracked some difficult and queer words before I set them home. Really, if they would stay that way as tonight, then, I and my colleagues won’t have any hard time in every clubbing activity. Well, should I say that I am lucky tonight? Grins.
