…on Writing Improvement

I’m still hooked on listening some BBC’s podcasts now while writing entries for my sites. I have realized that I’ve got to improve my vocabulary for diction, choice of words, is an important factor in writing good essays. I’ve found writing a therapy for me most especially when I’m working abroad or even when I’m just at home relaxing, I still love to scribble some notes on my notepad. More so, writing as a hobby could be even more demanding for choosing the right words with one’s less vocabulary in memory could be at times frustrating. That’s why with the help of some helpful applications such as my dear WordWEb is of really great help. Alright, I’ve got to concentrate on my writing now as I’ve left some drafts on my other online diaries. Speak y’all soon guys. Cheers!

Now that I’ve got a Time with my Family

Spending quality time with my family is all I ever wanted when I was still working abroad. I always dreamed of coming back home and just be with them for a whole day chatting and exchanging laughter over a sumptuous dinner. Now that I’ve got the chance to be on vacation even for just a short time is more like months of staying abroad in a very tight schedule at work. So far in my work experiences abroad, this one is probably the most challenging for me as an OFW. I don’t know it must be that I don’t really feel like to be in the place like a circle cannot fit in the square. Sighs. However, as I get to try my best to just get it on every single day and think of my family and love one here in the Philippines, somehow it gives me enough energies to carry on every single day. I hope this short break won’t end because I don’t really feel like coming back there for another torture of challenges along my way. After all, I know that at the end of all these challenges there would be a lot more growth and realizations on my part. Thus, I would grow more on all aspects of my individuality as I embrace the complete womanhood.

Not Feeling Well, Ei?

I don’t know why I’m feeling like this but I can only sense my body’s not really great. Could this be due to the erratic climate here these days? Or is it just because I’m worrying too much of the future? Either ways, I know this is not a good thing for me thus I need something to do so to divert my attention and produce great results. I know myself that if I’d dwell more on this for a longer time, I’d still be the only person to suffer the consequences. I hope that I’d be feeling great tomorrow for I need to meet my Ktutee after processing my passport renewal. Sighs.

When it Rains, it Pours!

Right, remember I told you that I’m going to be super busy in the following weeks here during my vacation? Yes, it is indeed and I will be busy as my K student has just arrived here in Cebu just tonight. This means that tutorial arrangements are going to be followed and it’s gonna be everyday. I’m so happy to have such great communication with my previous K students. Thanks M for the recommendations. Imagine it’s been almost four years since I left that K school I worked with for a year. Really, establishing great raphor with people is of utmost importance. As what the old adage says that one should never burn bridges for one never knows when she’s gonna be coming back if she ever has to for once in her life. I don’t know if I made have put these words meaningfully. Smiles. Here, I can really attest that truly like rain blessings pour abundantly like rain showers on a lovely day.

Last Roundabout

Supposedly today is my free day here as I’m gonna be flying tonight for home sweet home. Grins. I’m so damned excited to see my family and boyfriend again! Oh dear, nothing can satisfy my longing for them but only a vacation even for just a very short time. As I woke up early this morning, I’ve got my luggage checked and rechecked again for a lot of times already when Ms. S’s phone rang and it was her cousin who apparently said to drop by in few minutes because he’s going to pick up the boys. Today is their schedule to move into their new flat not quite far from our place. After a while of talking I heard Ms. S said that we are coming with them and so off we went. Upon reaching to their place, we helped them move out and move in some of their things into their new flat just on the rooftop of the building. I just couldn’t imagine how beautiful it would be there at night most especially in December and January. Smiles. After helping them move in and chatting with his wife and kids we decided to keep on moving for I haven’t seen some great places around here. Then her cousin suggested us to be our driver and tour guide. We were so thankful and indeed he toured us to great places just to take some pictures here and there. Here is one of the cool pictures I’ve taken that day which I believe would summarize how excited I am right now. Smiles.

Busier than Bees

This week and next’s would be quite busy for all of us here at school as we are nearly coming to close and as to formally welcome our summer holidays we are hosting a play for parents to watch. We are coming on Saturday to do more rehearsals and make the decorations for the upcoming long awaited performance. Some students may not come on that day so we agreed to have some supporting characters ready for whatever is missing on that day. Oh it’s gonna be my first directorial job here as an English teacher. I’m so excited just thinking of the real play on Wednesday next week. For now all I can do is imagine and leave it all to them on the day of our greatest performance of all time.

Still Working on a Birth Day?

Working on a birthday is much more fun than staying at home with nothing to do. Perhaps this is the only day of my life as a working professional that I actually came to work. Not literrally though, grins. I hope I could do my tasks later and have some fun after ‘work’. Actually. Well, in a few more weeks from now our school year would finish and am so expectant by now to go home and have a relaxing break, hopefully. Well, what’s more important is to really enjoy each moment like what I’m doing right now. Listening to music while chatting and sending emails. Sounds multitasking, ei? Yes, I can! and I am! Speak soon guys. Got to concentrate for now. Smiles.

Spelling Like a Bee

Can you imagine yourself spelling like a bee? Why in the world is it called Spelling Bee by the way? Well, to play it smart, I think it’s because every contender is going to be buzzing with their wits and knowledge of words mixed with their quickness in thinking of the right order of letter to form the right spelling of each word in a specific limit of time. The quickest of course wins!

I hope our first round of this contest would all go well tomorrow morning. I just hope, as my higher levels and us would be going to Doha’s Bowling Center to have some great and quality moments. I know it’s not really a good timing to have a Spelling Bee after two hours of tiring ourselves out there in the alleys throwing balls to beat other teams, but we have to do the Spelling Bee Round 1 as soon as we arrive school. Grins.

Best of luck to all the challengers! You can and will do it, guys

Saturday’s Make-up Test

I always have to make sure to come to school on Saturdays for making up what I miss during work days. Oh by the way, you don’t know when’s my days off right? Living and working in the Middle East only have Thursdays and Fridays as days off. So that’s pretty much why I’m coming to school on Saturdays. Anyway this coming Saturday is our make-up test for both June’s 50/50 and the online testing. I hope the kids would come early so we could finish the day early as well and I can do the rest for my academic stuffs. Then, I’d still have some time for my other activities at my flat.

Looking Forward to be Qualified

When I get home very soon, I plan to get myself a certificate and I hope to get qualified with all its high standard requirements. If so then I’d be able to do my next ultimate goal and get myself up to the ladder of success. Oh it really reminds me of our discussion in class this morning. Smiles. I wrote on the board this: ‘Only people who earn a lot of money are successful.’ It really invited my students to discuss since I’m so blessed with these bright and interesting kids around me. I liked all their ideas and truly they enriched me with their different viewpoints about the measurement of success. We all have our varied ideas and differing opinions on the topic and it made us all appreciate the beauty of our differences as a multicultural classroom. I’d surely miss them since I won’t be with them next year. Well, going back to the excitement of being qualified. I hope to really get it since I’m planning to move to another country after my contract and that certificate would further back me up with my next goals.
