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?
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
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
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
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
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.
Here I am again…
There are times that I’m just overwhelmed at the circumstances at hand and there are times that I tend to shush myself despite all the things that are happening in my life. However, today’s no different at all for I just left my mouth shut inspite all the things I’ve heard from the people around me. I just keep my silence because I don’t like to be involved in their mess. I know you don’t understand me here but to tell the whole story would end up me blabbering for no reason. Well, I guess I would. Maybe in time I will but for now I need to doze off for I need to prepare myself for tomorrow’s asshattery here at work, . Nighteee everyone!
I Promise…
Here I am again with my fake promises. I know promises are made to be broken but I’d try my very best to update my sites. I know it’s very far from possibility but I’d try to keep you posted here. I promise…
The Good Updates
Recently I can feel a little bit sense of satisfaction at work and I can say that despite everything that happened with me here everything’s turning out just fine. With all the challenges I’ve surpassed here, there is nothing more memorable than this place because I had so far all my shocking truths discovered here in this land of opportunities. In a good sense, there are so many things that makes me realize so far especially relating to the importance of family. Well, I’m just happy and super blessed that I’m raised well by my loving parents and they really showed us a good example unlike what I’ve seen in this weird place. Whew then again it doesn’t shock me anymore nor am I culturally surprised at how OFWs like me behave and make decisions while being here abroad. Though it is really true that it’s not easy to work away from our comfort zones but it’s a one man challenge to overcome every single trial that’s come to trick his life in so many treacherous ways.
I Hope this Year’s gonna be AWESOME! :)
I don’t know what lies ahead but I’m hoping that this year’s gonna be awesome for everyone. There is not much on my list of goals this year but I’m keeping faith that I can achieve all of these, for sure in His right time where no one can say no. His will is after all the best of all. I’m sure there are so many challenges and trials along the way as much as blessings are bountiful. God know every person’s desires though and it’s what keeps me going on each and every day much more that I’m away from home now. Still, I believe that this year’s gonna be awesomely great!
