Fall
Fall is almost over. Today is exactly 365 days after when I left Korea. I shall bury all the past from this day on.
First Day of Work, not.
Last night I had planned to sleep earlier than my regular sleeping time during my vacation, vacation without pay because I was jobless for 3 weeks. I wanted to sleep early because the next day would by my first day of work with Mrs. Son. I will be working with her for the next two months to teach her students from Korea. Before going to bed. I checked my computer to check the month of July for my scheduled appointments and things to accomplish the whole month. I realized that the next day is still June, June 30! Which is today. For the past 3 weeks I already had the mindset that I will start working on this day, June 30 which I thought is the first day of July.
New work, new place, new employer, new students and new teaching approach. My new job is tutorial. Which means, I am not in a classroom but in an ordinary room that could be possibly be a bedroom. I have lots of worries. Not with the pay but with environment. In the academy I was really preoccupied with lots of work. I deal with lots of people. If my schedule is full it means I have six to seven classes. In a class there are two to four students. And with six to seven classes a day I will be teaching students across the age, from elementary students to mothers who want to learn English to have boyfriends in the Philippines, just kidding. Tomorrow will be different. I might teach same students the whole day long. Eight hours my reader, eight hours. My greatest enemy would be my all time nemesis, boredom. Teaching the same faces all day long will be very very difficult for me. I want to stay positive but I can’t help but to worry. Better if there will be students like Grace (on the picture), it will be really better. Kekeke ^^ Fighting! (Koreans say fighting to boost their morale with a wrong choice of word in English, patawarin nyo ko mga kimchi hehehhee)
Grace with her flat expression.
“Saranghe”
Love, relationships, girlfriend, and commitment. These words are very confusing. They are all nouns, that’s what I am sure of. Two girls older than I am seem to have an interest with me. Their text messages flood my inbox. I am not annoyed with the things they do to me. In fact I am very flattered, makes me feel I am special. It’s just I am not interested with what I now they want. I can be a good friend to them as I always been to everyone. I reckon that they like me because they think that I am a very nice guy. Of course I know it’s not because of my looks, not that I have low self esteem. I just feel that they want to settle down and be seriously in love. I am not into it right now.
Ang Init!
It’s so hot nowadays the feeling is like you have a fever! I wish I can stand heat and humid just like Teacher Garry. I like his hair!
Chorva
Hala naging bading na yata ako! HAHAHA Secret mahirap magsalita dito at baka ma-yari pa ako ^^
Sick
I have flu right now and I hate it! I also lost my voice grrrrrr. Today is a holiday but I just stayed home, really a bad day for me. Anyway, pasta is nice to eat in the morning. My sister and mom made it.
Summer
Don’t you just love chilled and sweet orange on a hot day? I am starting to dislike my workplace. People just can’t stop stepping on other people to get what they want. Only God knows what to do with them. God sums up what He wants us to do here on earth, “Love your God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself,” this is what God’s commandments is all about.
Remember that….
Sometimes your past hunts you terribly that you can’t even see the good things the future offers you. You lose you gain. You gain you lose. Sometimes the only person you think that is kind to you is God.
