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.

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.

ReAlLy HaPpY tO LeT mY HeArT oUt

This morning, I woke up a bit late than usual and I decided to do my laundry first before anything else. I am happy and a bit sad today. Happy because I can spend more time with myself and enjoy my additional holiday this Wednesday. Tomorrow I am going to meet my newly-found friend in Wenzhou. We agreed to go to her university - Wenzhou University in the afternoon. I am pretty excited about it.

Surely, I will bring my digicam with me and take plenty of pictures in there with her and her circle of friends. On the other side of the coin, I am sad because my friend and housemate is going home for her 10-day vacation in the Philippines. I send her downstairs this afternoon and finally bid goodbyes to each other. She will be back here next week.

Tonight would be the first night that I am alone here in my place. I know it's gonna be different but I am going to try and prove to myself that I can live alone and become more independent so to say. She said to me in her text this afternoon before she finally went aboard the plane, "You CAN do it!" :)

My Sis

My sister told me that everyday either she will fold her knees or used pillows in doing her computer work as she doesn't have the right chair for now. The rotating chair is so big that it will occupy most of the space in the living room, so that's why she doesn't have choice but to live with it. I'm just hoping she can buy a small chair or the right chair so that she can do her computer work without sacrificing. She said, her knees have lots of callous already for most of the time she will just fold her knees.

God is Great!

I couldn't imagine how God is working in my life right now. Everything has been well with me here and now that I have adjusted with everything I could say that the trials I had surpassed last year was worth engraving on a stone tablet, heheh. Eventhough I am constantly vulnerable with the challenges here but I know that my God is bigger than anything. I am rest assured that I can make it through all the odds which come my way. I just thank my family and friends who are ever supportive and loving to me all these years.

Plans for Next Year

I have got this certificate which enables me to work in another country. Next year I am planning to go to this country and work there for another few years. I have written this in my long-term goals and I feel like not really fulfilled if I cannot have this plan realized. I hope to really transfer to another country next year after my stay here. That's one of my motivation for now.

Hope it will be Soonest

I am hoping I will have my laptop soonest. That would be a very convenient thing to have. I will not be renting hours in the internet cafes. And I can surf the internet anytime.

A Morning Full of Energy

I woke up so early today and I decided to clean the apartment since I am all alone so I can do everything I want. I had general cleaning session with myself. I cleaned, mopped, washed and did the laundry, had changed all the beddings and the curtains in my room. I feel like so fresh right after I had my bath. This is the beauty of being left alone, whew! I like it!

I'm Overwhelmed

I'm really overwhelmed with all of the blessings I got. And I will share this to my family way back home. They are my first priority at this time. While I'm still single, I'll see to it that I can pay back the good things that they've share to me. This is the only way to let them know that they played a great role in my life. They mold me for who I am now. And I want to pay them back the love and care that they have given to me eversince. Love you my family.

Wow This is Great

Wow this is great! Thanks God for this wonderful Gift I have right now. It's my first time to experience it. You rock guys. Thanks so much for giving this chance of a lifetime. You really help me a lot. Hope God will shower you with more blessings so that you can share it to everybody.

Boring Lifeeee

My stay here is most of the times boring and I would just hang around the nearest netcafe not minding how time flies like soap bubbles. What am I doing in the netcafe? Of course, net surfing, reply and send some emails to immediate family and friends and other stuffs. Not to mention updating my blog accounts and chatting...heheh

I Am Learning

There are things that come to one's life which could definitely change the person neither for good nor bad. In my case, I met this person who is really unique, more unique than me indeed. I have leaned so many things from her and there is this one line that would always flash in my memory every time I think about her. That, I cannot please everybody that I come to brush elbows with in my journey to life.

Truly, she is right and I proved it in my experience here so far in school there are setbacks and challenges along my way. Complains are always present in every term but it doesn't knock me off because I simply cannot please everybody and there is always this personal chemistry factor which plays a great role in every relationship.

For me, I consider myself as a sponge willing to absorb not only the fortunes but as well as the mis's of it and turn it to goodness once again in every time it falls on me. I am learning for now and always will. In life, there is nothing constant but CHANGE. So EMBRACE it every time it comes to yours.
