My Short and Buzzing Vacay

I’m having my busy days meeting up with my long lost buddies these days but as the days are indeed fleeting, I wish every day won’t go. I wish it would just freeze and it means I won’t be leaving soonest. As much as I hate to go but I need to since I still have to comply the contract there. Well, somehow it leaves me an assurance of a short term hopefully the kids and the crazy activities won’t make my days there longer than I expected. Deep sigh! :( No matter how I uplift my mood to it my intuition says it won’t be. Well, it is just a matter of self motivation, right?

Being Idle

As I’m not an outdoor buddy, I love spending my vacay here just staying at home doing my online business and most of the times I end up doing absolutely nothing but cooking and watching some old movies at home. Since I don’t have any part time work now, all I do is hang around the house and do some chores. Sometimes I get so bored and tired of doing nothing and wish I was having a work to do in an office or school. Anyways, so far this is my most depressing vacation with my family because I cannot give them everything they need for I’m currently in a very tight budget unlike before when I was working with EF in China. Whew, well nothing is permanent but change and now I’m welcoming it still with arms wide open for I know this will lead us to great things in the future. ;)

…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.

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.

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! :D Speak soon guys. Got to concentrate for now. Smiles.

Today’s a Great Day!

This morning I didn’t wake up groggy and grumpy. It was so early in the morning that I was awaken by my daily morning routine, grins. Well, as I was all the while dreaming of flying and soaring high without wings in my dreams, I rushed myself without thinking that I had to use the stairs of the double-deck for I was sleeping on the upper deck. I almost broke my legs! Uh-oh. Then, I hurriedly went to the bathroom and there I released everything as much as I can for I know I’d be having lunch when I wake up again; this time, in the middle of the day, :D

…edited…

I’ve finally found this unpublished entry! ;) Aha! Today’s been pretty lazy for me. I decided not to go to school and just stay here computing grades. Instead, I’m watching documentary videos while writing my entries! Hahah! :D Oh dear!…well, what else is there to do with my boring and lazy day? Several chat messages are popping up now but it seems I’m so lazy to answer them. Practically, I’m just waiting for my brother to log online. Then, we can chat over on Skype. Huh! can’t wait for them. I just miss speaking with them online. Waiting mode. :D

Bright Start

I woke up a little late this morning for I slept too late as well. The first thing I did was open my YM and chat with my sister, haha. I found a pop message from my student in Korea requesting me to add her in my friends’ list. A few more minutes a chat window popped up and she asked how I am doing these days. It has been like years since we chatted and now I am so surprised with the update. She is now in Korea having her summer vacation.

I could clearly remember our shared times together and the days I came to have steep and long walks all the way up to her house in the village near my home. I was her teacher and friend before. I saw her all the way through her application in the university where I graduated five years ago. And now, she is going to graduate in less than a year with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business and Legal Management. I am so proud of her.

Indeed, she is one of my long term Korean friend and student. Our chat ended up with sweet goodbyes and smiles. I’m so happy to know her recent whereabouts and it makes my day so bright. Smiles.
