Freaky Friday

admin — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 13:33:07 +0000

I don’t normally believe in ghosts but recently I’ve been experiencing moments where I really can feel their presence in our new house. I don’t know if it’s normal for a new house. Ever since I started working abroad I always transfer flats but our house is totally different from the buildings I’ve stayed. I’ve been feeling and hearing footsteps and the fast clicking of the keyboard of the computer as if someone’s typing a lot which usually happen around three o’clock at dawn. I’m not paranoid either but usually it’s annoying since I always wake up because of it. I always experience this most especially when I’m all alone at home and even my brother has been experiencing this even before I arrived. Sometimes I give in to my fears and I don’t normally get enough sleep. Recently, I’ve found a solution to this dilemma, and I can really attest that prayer is the most powerful weapon of all. Through prayer all worries and fears are gone instantly that’s why I always make it a point to pray before going to bed and after I wake up in the morning. My God is bigger than them of course.

Few Key Thoughts for the Day

admin — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 14:13:07 +0000

Being just at home enjoying silent moments with myself allows me to relax even more compared to my life in ME. There is total relaxation here at the comfort of our home. I can fully express myself without restrictions for I know my family understands me more than any other. It’s been a month since I arrived and I have been working again with that same Korean ESL school I’ve left almost five years ago and I can say I’m having a great time working with all the employees both new and old. It’s really self-assuring to know that everything’s gonna be alright despite all challenges coming our way for we know that we’re working as one team and one company geared for further developments. I may not express everything into words but here’s what’s clear to me now – I’ve finally found my niche and I’m happy with my decisions in life. These are just a few key thoughts to think about before dozing off to bed tonight which brings me smiles for tomorrow’s exciting challenges. Good night folks.

There’s No Place Like Home

So glad to be back here in Cebu for good. I’m so thankful and happy to have decided to come home and work here with my previous company. Though my earning is a little bit lower now still I have more enthusiasm than before when I was still in ME. There’s no place like home, I believe and that working environment plays a great role to an employee’s efficiency at work. I can only found these things in Fella – great friends and supportive colleagues who are always willing to help and give appreciation even in small actions. Well, indeed, actions speak louder than words do.

Still up and about

admin — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 19:37:37 +0000

Taking too much time sleeping in the afternoon today is the most wonderful thing that’s happened in my life. I didn’t care what to do for the most part but to stream news updates, surf the Internet on most of my interesting topics in mind, watching telenovelas on ABS-CBN while feeling so anxious for who’s gonna win the pre-qualifying match between Philippine’s Football Team Azkals vs. Sri Lanka. What a great day indeed! The rest of the time are spent on sleeping, hahah. Since I came here I never had the chance to sleep like this. That is, sleeping without thinking what to do next and what deadlines to meet and so on and so forth. Urgh! You heard it right, DEAD___SSSSS… This is explains why I’m still up and about until now it’s almost midnight here in my place. I hope I’d feel sleepy after sipping this glassful of lukewarm milk. Actually, I’m drinking like a baby while thinking of what to write. Speak soon y’all. Enjoy life!

Why Do Goodbyes Hurt?

admin — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 16:26:59 +0000

I’ve been teaching abroad for many years now but I guess this time it’s gonna be sadder than sad when I’d finally leave. I have been living and working with people who I considered as a third family. My second family is in China, where I also work for two years. I don’t know but even if I’d coax myself not to think of goodbyes still the thought of never seeing them again personally brings me more sadness. Now, even if I haven’t been feeling great since the past three weeks, I always try to feel I’m great so I can see all my kids and friends at school. I need to see them every day as much as I can for I know they are leaving sooner than I think. I wish I can stay here but I also have to consider my longer term goals for me and my family.

Been Having Tough Days Here

admin — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 20:40:36 +0000

I just couldn’t imagine myself sacrificing hard time for over 10 weeks until the end of this school year due to unruly and uninterested students. Sometimes I question myself for being incapable or is it just because of the nature and culture of the place where I’m at right now. I always pray every day that He will give me more strength to carry on for without His guidance and love I’d be totally nothing. I’m dead. I’m hopeless. But with him I can reach to the highest mountains even breaking them into pieces. I know my God is bigger than them but it’s just that sometimes with my human nature I do get angry and I scorn every single mistake I see in my kids. I just want them to realize how important proper training is and how good manners can turn into healthy habits which in turn can make them very good citizens in the future. I just hope so they’d realize that…

Tomorrow Itinerary

admin — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 16:06:23 +0000

I am planning to go to school and get my things done and ready for the term three kick in in the next few weeks. I’ve got to finish all my paperworks and get things done ASAP. I hope I can get it on due date since I’ve just mostly enjoyed every day here doing nothing or going somewhere with my friends. I just hope I can do it in due time. Hopeful smiley face. I need to focus on my work and go to school early tomorrow. I just hope….

Irritatingly Irritable

admin — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 15:56:59 +0000

I’m so irritated today just by the fact that I don’t know one thing doesn’t mean that I cannot do everything. Why not look at your fucking face on the mirror first before saying anything, right? I just hate people like ‘em. People who easily pick on other’s mistakes and weaknesses not looking on their own imperfectness in the first place. They aren’t worthy to be talked about either, I know but I’m just deeply annoyed tonight. I wanna gas them to death, urgh! Angry face.

A Nice Breather on a Mid-term Break

admin — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 16:55:53 +0000

It’s a nice evening last night when we had a long walk on a winding roads of Doha. I feel like I just needed a breather where I don’t need to think about anything at all. I had a nice and memorable walk for I know that it would be the first and last walk I’d ever have here. I only have more or less 18 weeks left here in this country and sooner or later I’m coming back home. Whew! Finally I can have a chance to be with my family and my beloved again. I think I won’t be going abroad again for I need to prepare my papers for my long term goals. This time I hope I won’t be alone in a foreign land again. Smiles.
