Everything’s new to me. The weather is so cold and I have to wear lots of layers just to keep my body warm. My shower time varies because it’s not good to take showers early in the morning. I have to eat fast and I can rarely eat rice Hay, lots of adjustments but I’m learning to handle it. My house is an hour ride away from the center where I work. Well, the transportation would be easier if it’s not winter. I can’t imagine myself staying at the bus/train station for more than 15 minutes, it’s just so cold! Hay, I want to sleep all day but I can’t. I want to be online too for my loved ones, want to update them of what’s happening here in my new life. We just got a phone but I rarely use it, my colleague keeps on using it everytime where home, duh! Well, at least I got this connection, ahaha. Hay…do I want to go home? Mmm, maybe I just miss my life back at home. I can do whatever I want and anytime of the day. I miss hanging out with my friends and huggy. Hay, miss huggy so much. How I wish I’m still there with him, hay…3 weeks is not enough….but I know someday we’ll be together again

So, what else…for my work. It’s not that new to me cause I’ve been to this field of work for a couple of years and it’s my profession. All I do is play and discipline all the kids and it’s taking all my energy. When I got home, I just want to lie down on my bed and sleep and hoping to wake up so late the next day.

Well, I’m getting sleepy already..Maybe I can blog this weekend!

and so I miss the KIDS again….

I attended two events from the previous school where I used to be a Preschool Teacher for a year. First, I joined their 5th year anniversary. I took some photos of the event and I enjoyed watching all the kids playing and giggling with all the things that the teachers, staff and parents prepared for them. Well, I wish I was a part of it Anyways, so much for that. I was so happy to see my previous kids there, they’re all grown up! I grabbed the chance to take photos of them, hay…I miss them a lot.

more updates later…time for cleaning, ahihihi

Got a text from Ate Melds this afternoon telling that Ate Melda is advised by the Canadian Embassy to get a Medical Exam Wooh, so happy for her and finally one of us moved to another level. I’ll be waiting for Ate Melda’s updates regarding her medical exams. Hopefully, Ate Melds and I can also get updates from the Embassy next week. I just noticed that the Embassy releases its results every Friday, so we might also get our updates or results next Friday or maybe the next next Friday, ahaha, basta Friday! I’m getting excited with the happenings Hopefully we can travel all together, hay…..still waiting patiently

Well, as of the moment Makuki is strolling around Serendra with his officemates I know he’s having fun with them, waahh…Hopefully I can visit him this month or next month for our anniversary so so much much FUN!

Dog Updates. I think my little boy didn’t eat anything today Kiko always sleep during the day and night unless I let him play around the garden and there I can see him so active playing around. Well, maybe tomorrow morning I will let Kiko and Sushi run and play around the garden so they can exercise their bodies….

Cooked a Chicken Tomato Mix this lunch time and it was very yummy! I just loved my cooking, ahahahaa….I might cook “Tinolang Manok” for tomorrow’s lunch, waahh..I’m getting hungry na…I should stop this muna….

We are almost done with the research paper and all we have to do is to edit some errors and we can finally pass it to our Prof so we can have our grades. June is approaching and it’s time for me to enroll another set of classes for my Masters. I am hoping that the grad school will offer the practicum this first semester so I can finally have my comprehensive exam on the second semesters and soon I can finish the degree early next year, COOL!

Anyways, I’ve been wanting to buy a Nikon or Canon DSLR! I thought of getting two of it so I can give one to Makuki and the other one for me, but resources and finances are really tight. So, I might just get one and give it to Makuki ***wishing and wishing***

Need to pay all the bills so I can start saving for the Boracay trip, I’m getting excited with it. Anyways, that will be on September and I will be with my high school friends, ahihihi. Been contacting a lot of resorts to give us the great and affordable Boracay accommodations, ahihi

I’ll be out this afternoon with my mum to have some groceries and to bring the dogs to the salon. Sushi and Kiko needs the total make-over and they have matting all over their bodies, poor dogs Need to put the anti-flea collar after the grooming…

Still looking for online students and I hope I can get lots of students so I still earn while staying at home. I need more advices from my online friends so I can be an effective online teacher to my students…books please…articles please….

I am loving David Archuleta, ahihi…I keep on watching his videos at youtube!

I just finished the survey questionnaires for tomorrow. Hopefully, everything will turn out good. I want this research to be done so I can start on my online classes.

I might have an outing/getaway with my co-teachers this coming Wednesday, May 21…I still dunno the venue yet..

Good night! sleepy eyes…

Teaching is not an easy job. But I love doing it with the kids

When my senior high school adviser asked us to make a research on the course or profession that we like to take up in college, I thought of getting medicine for I wanted to be a dermatologist. But after researching, I changed my planned profession, from dermatologist to pediatrician! Why pediatrician? because I love to be with the kids, as simple as that. So, I took up an entrance exam at one of the colleges in our place but after the exam, I changed my mind again…I hate hospitals and if I’ll pursue my medicine courses..hospital will be my home. Just a few days of realizing those thoughts I found myself having interest to get an Education course for the preschoolers. I enrolled with that course and I am really happy about it. I spent my college years with a lot of insights, learning and experiences that shaped me to be a preschool teacher to the kids that I handled. With my teaching experiences with the kids, I gained a lot of realization and insights.

During the first few months of my teaching, I got lots of heartaches and headaches! My kids were really challenging me to the fullest. I am handling different kids with different personalities and I have to attend and deal all of them. They pushed me to the limits and I thought of giving up. Aside from the personalities that I dealt with, I also have lots of paper thingies at work that need to be passed on time. I am losing all my energy those times but I have to finish what I’ve started.

But as the tiring months passed by, I observed that my kids started to change. They no longer to be my headache and heartache of the day. They brought joy and laughter to me and I was looking forward to see them everyday. Kisses and hugs were spreading inside my kingdom. I ran and play with them during our Free Time. All of my students love to dance for we almost do it everyday in the class.

When the school ends, I was preparing myself for a great vacation so I can relax. But then, I just realized that I am starting to miss my kids so much! I want to hug them badly…ahahay…Soon, they will leave the Play World and they will be ready to face the challenges of the Big School. Hay, I hope they can still remember me because they left a smile mark on my heart! I miss them so much…

Now, I need to face reality. I will soon have my own family and I also have dreams that I want to fulfill. I will be missing a lot of things, people and experiences with my decisions. This will make me sad too. Hay, do you think it’s okay to leave the school for me to search for a brighter future? or to stay at school and enjoy being with the kids. Hay, I already have a decision but I am just sad that I will no longer be with my students when they enjoy another level in their Play World.

I love my kids so much….

Bored!

It’s been a long time since I worked on my paper works for school and work. I don’t have the appetite to finish it. I don’t care if my money was on hold because of my unfinished papers. All I want is to enjoy my vacation this Summer and to look for jobs online ’cause I might not be working with them anymore this year. It’s a sad decision because I’ll be missing a lot, the kids, my friends and my experiences but I have to make a decision because I want to clear everything and to focus on what I really want to achieve as of the moment - it is to work abroad and to have my family there.

Hay, am I doing the right thing???

I feel bored here and I might go to sleep….

It’s my first day as an online teacher and so I woke up a bit earlier than before. I changed my clothes, tied my hair, tried the new headset and the webcam…and I was all set for the first online teaching. I kept myself busy on the internet browsing for possible lessons and topics that I can deliver to my online student. Then, when it was 10:00am I called the student on Skype and she was also ready to have the session with me. So, our session was full of questions and answers so I can assess her English skills. She is good with the language but she just needs more exercises and practices so she can use the language confidently. We will have our sessions again next week and I will prepare more materials and exercises for her so she can master the language.

I am making myself busy looking for online jobs that are home-based because I am planning to stay at home for one school year. I won’t be teaching for 10 months because I will be concentrating on my Masters and I will be waiting for my application abroad. Because of this planned decision, I should have a job on my mind so I can still have money to spend for my bills and to save for my future. I hope being an Online Teacher so soon will help me a lot, ahihihi.

I tried to register at Ontue and Witheng and they have great opportunities fir people like me who likes to work at home. Maybe, you can try it too.

I just don’t know what to do with my career and life now. I don’t know what to choose! The SG offer is already here and I should sign on the confirmation letter so I can proceed with my SG training this June. All the benefits are good, plane fare, accommodation and Cola are all free while on training at SG. But, after that I will return to my country to officially work on the position assigned to me by the institution. I will be part of their team for two years and that is my bond for them. Now, I don’t know if I’ll grab this offer or not. I have a pending application abroad and I want it more than the SG, but it’s not yet clear tho…but I will be able to finish my MA while waiting for the pending application. Problem - what will happen to me while waiting? Am i going to work at the school again or look for an online job while finishing my MA. I will have my practicum on the first semester and I will be busy with it…If I will be working on the school again, I might have lots of absences and I don’t want that to happen Hay, it’s so hard to choose!
