Oh now, not again! Right now, I’m so bugged with the idea of coming back to the place where I never wanted to come and work. If not because of gaining more experiences as a teacher, I wouldn’t risk my life there. It’s my adventurous nature which enlightens my curiosity to risk everything that comes [...]

Today’s a great day though I’m quite confused with the schedule at first for I was assigned to be with another one when in fact I need to be with my own class, urgh! This is the downside of this organization here; we don’t know who’s who to listen and follow. Sometimes I ask myself [...]

Perhaps, I’ve shared with you that she’s been with her friend for couple of months now and the thing is that she’s been feeling so indebted with her friend’s family for taking very good care of her from food and yeah almost everything. She considers them as her second family; that is, abroad. Truly, thanks [...]

Been sulking, thinking, and always catch myself with a long vision of something with sometimes find myself not looking at something at all. Totally absent-minded at times.

The wind was kinda crisp inside the plane while we were making our way down the International Airport of Doha, Qatar last November 12, 2009. Ideas came rushing through my imagination while preparing for touchdown. I can feel the excitement of some passengers inside the plane while others were kinda adamant of facing the fact [...]

Tonight’s classes really went very well and it just occurred to me that patience is a virtue which I have been cultivating since I came here. After I reviewed with Dora who is my early learner student, her mom was talking to me in Chinese and I understood what she said but I can’t answer [...]

Last Tuesday this girl in my class fell into temper tantrums just because she’s didn’t know how to write numbers. She cried for more than 15 minutes and disrupted our class. I hated her for that night and tonight she was just amazingly great! Whew! I said to her grandmother that she’s doing great tonight. [...]
