A Sumptuous Dinner at G’s place :)

Posted on by

Today is definitely chilly and rainy but that didn’t stop us to go for dinner at G’s place. He called my housemate and confirmed that we are coming at seven in the evening. So, off we went there and we really had a very great dinner with him. We ate lots of tuna salad, pumpkin soup, and potato wedges which are so spicy. With over an hour at his place, we finished our ‘intelligent conversation’ at almost half past eight. We arrived home stuffed at almost nine coz my housemate had to go and get some money from the bank near our flat.

Indeed, our dinner was really good tonight. Many thanks G for inviting us in your place. :) Hope we could do this at our flat as well but I think you still need to cook for us our favorite pumpkin soup. :)

Brrrr!

I woke up with another chilly and rainy morning. Today is just another usual day of my life away from home. Sometimes I feel sad and at times happy thinking of how I am able to fulfill my dreams in life. Yet these are not the end of my journey as I have so many goals which for the moment I am trying my very best to pursue everything as much as I can. I am trying to carefully build my future being careful to follow His plan for my life. After all, I am just one of His wonderful instruments so does the rest of humanity. :) With sinfulness and humility I always come to Him and ask for more strength and forgiveness. :)

Indeed a Fulfilling Day

This morning I woke up so early as what my housemate told me coz usually I wake up around lunch time on days off but this is yet another day. I have to wake up early and finish my tasks early on so I can send something to Cebu. I will surely call them tonight and tell them some funny stories at school this week. :) I did my tasks fast this morning and I didn’t mind about breakfast or lunch not until my housemate called me and said it’s time to eat. I then remembered I haven’t eaten brunch! Oh goodness! It’s why I can feel my stomach is grumbling. Whew!

After we had lunch at around one in the afternoon, I readily prepared myself for I have to meet Kevin our technical staff to go with me to repair my digicam and then we have to go to the post office to send some things home. Indeed, we finished on time as scheduled. And oh I forgot to mention my colleague went with us coz his digicam malfunctioned as well. After the camera store, we went separate ways. He went home while Kevin and I went to the post office. After the post office, I just thought of pizza! Yes PIZZA! Then, I told Kevin we must go back to the downtown area and have some pizza. He said of course and we went there to have some pizza despite of the very cold and rainy weather. We finished eating ‘our pizza dinner’ according to him at around 6.15 and then I went home while he went back to school. I also gave a box of Hawaiian flavored pizza to Alice, my closest staff at school.

I went home stuffed and couldn’t get my way up to the seventh floor, hahah. Oh well, as long as I am full I of course can do whatever I want! So when I arrived home, I immediately turned on my laptop and posted this yet another productive day off here in Rui An. :)

I am so Happy and Excited

Wtih what has been happening at school now, I am deeply happy for being a part of the co-teaching team with our Pilot Converstion Class. We are so glad with the feedback that we had yesterday with the parents in a 15-minute-meeting. Our Superior DOS sent me a text message thanking me of being a part of the success of our pilot class. Now that I have to leave in a few weeks for a month vacation at home, I would surely miss the little monsters in that class. Actually, they played a greater part of my life’s story at work in EF. I’d surely miss them on weekends. Smiles. While I was typing this piece, I am partly very happy and sad and raring to go home for I really miss my family and friends at the homefront. On the other hand, I am so sure to miss my little kids when I’ll leave soon. Huhmmmmm…..

I CAN Make it! ;)

Just this morning when I woke up I felt a lot better for I had a very good sleep last night. At least I tried to sleep and forgot all my worries before I doze off to bed. I immediately turned on my laptop after I finished my housie chores. Then automatic programs were running and when all is done, a pop-up message from my messenger said I have six unread emails in my inbox. I checked it and I smiled from ear to ear. My brother sent me a good morning email and said it’s another email day for us. I am just simply happy to have an email buddy while I am away. This way I know what’s their situation and we can keep each other posted. Many thanks to advanced technology, :)

Hearing Wondrous Praises are more than a Relief

Last Saturday was such a great day for me though I can say twas a bit tough for I’ve got four classes in a row with only 30 minutes break time in between classes. After I finished my early learner class which I got only four boys and a girl with our superior DOS at the back who watched for a couple of minutes, he said, ‘Your class is excellent today’. I said to myself that they were so impressive today among other tough days with them weeks ago. That comment was so tweely said and I felt I am raised in heaven and even now I could still remember how he said those words of praise to me. I am so happy and proud of myself; my confidence in teaching is back now and I hope this would be the same until I leave. Having heard such a nice praise from a person who expects perfection is more than an accomplishment for me.

Looking Forward to

Whenever I am struck with my blues these days I’m always trying to divert and think of my upcoming homecoming in more or less than four weeks from now. Thinking of my coming home in the next few weeks is such a great expectation for me and my family. As soon as I called home my parents got so excited to that date. I know there are so many things to do when I get there but I also it’s gonna be fine. I have to polish things and get my goals realized which I have been dreaming all these years for me and my family. They are my inspirations in life and they are my reasons why I am here out of my comfort zones.

There Has Been

‘There has been several times that I have asked myself which road to follow and which way to cross. I have been into this before and I fairly well know it would be a difficult decision to make but as long as I know that what I am doing is right then, I strongly believe that the results would be just fine.’ – this is a random idea which popped up in my mind several minutes ago and I wrote it without anything in mind. It just happens that I’ve thought about this. Oh well, maybe this is the profit of watching several movies and TV shows a few months and days ago.. :)

Goodbyes Doesn’t Mean Forever

Posted on by

Sometimes reality bites and if it does it really hurts to the bones. I sometimes hate life because it brings me lots of pain and misery. For instance, last summer’s challenges pushed me almost to my limits but blessedly I was able to handle everything with God’s grace. Oh well, going back to life’s realities. Part of these is saying good byes to those people who made a unique difference in your life; so does mine.

Recently, I’ve said goodbyes and attended farewell parties with my school buddies. They are my colleagues actually who made a great impact in my life here away from home. I would surely miss them and all I can do now is just stick to hoping that we would see each other personally and spend time together. But the question is WHEN?

No matter when that is, I am sure that when it happens it would be in another place and time. Of course there is nothing permanent in this world except CHANGE. That is why I am learning to EMBRACE it now so I could cope whatever challenge comes my way.

The only secret to happiness is – FAITH, HOPE, and LOVE. Have these and you’d be happy all the time.

A Wonderful Dream

Posted on by

This morning I woke up very happy I had dreamed of a very great getaway with my teacher and classmates in the university was the main scene. We had an educational tour and we rode on a very big bus and I sat in the middle with all awe and excitement of the joyride. We saw many things usually cultural heritages of a country but I don’t know which country specifically was that but I saw many things – monuments, statues, old buildings and all. I wrote down things fast for we need to make some kind of reaction paper. Weird though I saw my cousin Tess on the bus too but we never talk that much and I saw my closest friend Ingrid on the bus and we spent together most of the time and we shared our notes and ideas before we got off. The tour was like a split-second experience; it was soooo fast like we were just winking and poof were done! Amazing! After I woke up, I felt really great and I want to sleep more to dream more but unfortunately I have to get up and move my butt to start my day right. I wake up on the right side of the bed indeed! Whew!
