Brief Break

It's a Friday! And it's the first of June. I went in late as usual but the training was done quickly and I do hope that it was time well-spent

So anyway, it is another ordinary day in an ordinary me's life. I am currently taking a break from all my paperwork because I simply like taking a break every now and then. It's not as if I am totally not doing my job. I am working a while ago, it's just my eyes are a bit tired from looking at all those lines in the Microsoft Excel Worksheet I've been working on. Now here's something that soothed my eye pain. Jaran!!!!

See? My eyes are feeling good now. Jo In Sung is such an eye candy. =)

So I would go back to work for now. I have found the reason to smile.

Hooray for Teachers!

The teachers' demo was great today. I would say that I am very proud of the teachers. They have improved a lot! It was just so nice to see that they have gained a lot of confidence and skill these past few years.

A lot of people are aware that teaching is not an easy job. You've got to have the skills, the knowledge, and the passion to do this. As I said before, this is not merely a job, it's a calling. you can't survive if you don't love it.

And I must admit that I have fallen in and out of love for teaching. There were so many instances that I considered changing my line of work. I got frustrated, unappreciated and unfulfilled at different points in my career. Seeing the teachers earlier ignited my passion for education. I am in love with learning and now I am equally in love with teaching.

50 Things I Hate

The trending topic in Twitter today is 50 things I hate. Since there are some followers I don't want to offend, I'd rather list them down here. When I say things, I mean "THINGS" literally, as in objects and some animals too.

My Day

I kinda feel like a snail these days.

All the goals I set for myself are not yet met but I just go on working. It still needs to be done even if I am all messed up.

My productivity is affected by the fact that I am addicted to Korean movies and drama. There are so many films to watch and I can't get enough of all those hot Korean actors, particularly Zo In-Seong. He fills up the screen, my dreams, and every minute of my waking moment. Darn! This is really a bad case of addiction. Hopefully, this will be over in a few weeks.

Funny thing happened today, I checked my ATM and my salary doubled. I almost jumped at the opportunity of having all those extra cash. But you see, I thought of the person who made the mistake of putting that amount and I can't bear to think that he or she would suffer just because I was greedy. I bet the bank would just take it back.

Why does making money have to be so hard?

No matter what other people say, money matters. We all need it to survive. I just wish I don't need too much of it. I am not really materialistic you know. Whatever I have, I share it with my family and friends. Sometimes it's just hard to find it. I work hard, make sacrifices just so I can enjoy it.

Anyway, I believe that God gives people enough for what they work for. Maybe I am not trying too hard.

I told myself that I am not ready to watch "A Frozen Flower." But I'm checking it out soon. I am feeling hot right now and I mean that literally. It is as if I have fever or something and heat is radiating from inside my body. Maybe it's just the weather or because I ate spicy food again.

So anyway, I'll get back to business.

Move!

I woke up a little later than I planned. And I'm still here, sipping my cup of coffee and working in front of the computer. I am not in the mood to facilitate the meeting today. But I don't have a choice. This is my job and I must do it.

I had a long, good night's sleep. But I woke up feeling sluggish. I still have a lot to do and my hormones are killing me. I can't be successful if I let laziness get into me. I must move, move, move!

Trying to be Good

First day of training went well.

Good thing I have enough energy to last the day. The weird thing is I was smiling for no reason, well a secret reason of course. I cannot tell everyone that I am actually smiling because I cannot forget Sang-Min's face in The Classic.

Maybe I have loose screws in the head. I can't get enough of Jo In Sung. My goodness! I want his pictures, his dramas, his movies, music videos and even commercial films. I have been a fan before and I know how's it like. These will all come to pass and before I am even aware of it I won't find him so interesting anymore.

So anyway, I have to concentrate on my job and take things seriously. I am challenged and I like challenges. I just hope it's not too hard that I would want to kill myself. Well, the Lord only gives burdens we can carry right?

I know compared to other people I have an easy life. All I ever have to deal with was the lack of money and the absence of a man. Sometimes I find unhappiness at work or with some people I love but I get over it in a short period of time. so I am choosing to be thankful. I don't want to be needy anymore. I will make the best of what I have now and if success comes, I would welcome it with open arms but if I fail, I would get the lesson I need to learn and try again.

Maybe it's true that I have been left behind by people my age. Most of them are married and are financially stable. I have to admit that it pains me and it makes me sad but I won't let these feelings stop me from trying again.

I am lazy, I lack determination, and I don't have passion. I can be arrogant and boastful sometimes. And I try to please everyone all the time. I am trying to change. I cannot continue insisting that this is me and people just have to accept that. I am not a perfect person but I sincerely want to be a good one.
