Uncertain STep

2 more days before my last day here in the office. Although the future looks a little uncertain BUT I feel so excited. I feel like finally, I can spread my wings & fly. high! I feel a CHANGE would do me good.

A chapter of my life is about to close. And of course another chapter will be written. I have ideas how to start it...but I don't know how it will end. I can't plan & execute everything accordingly. There will surely be a lot of 'humps'. so I'm trying to gather my strength from myself & from above.

I've been here for almost 3 years...along with that I was able to 'study' at the same time but I still feel like I had been a working/studying robot. Social life was not even in an option. SO it was happy but plain at the same time.

This BIG STEP I'm about to take looks promising & dreading at the same time. I don't know. I really don't know. I feel like I'm blind-folded. I know what direction to take [just straight ahead said my heart] but I'm not sure if I'd be able to..........

.....that's all for now...


....another journey...

..will you still be with me?...........

Learning Halted.

Since the new management took over the company I'm working with , every little thing around the office changed. Some find it a too strict but others find it necessary. I'm included in the latter.

Since then, there have been monthly grammar exams, protocol tests, monthly QA's & evaluations & a lot more. I find this really helpful. I get to be exposed to the different facets of English & teaching. As teachers we should never cease to learn right? That's why I'm so pissed when some of my colleagues keep complaining about it. There's this particular teacher who I think is planning to be in her present professional state for the rest of her life. She's in her early 30's. She bragged that she's ATENEAN which really shocked me coz she doesn't act as one. Parang 'palengkera' ba.

She says that she's done with that stage where she had to study for lessons & exams. Well, she has a point there...a little.very little. BUT wake up! We don't age for nothing. LEARNING should be a continuous process. aaaaaah!! they are really frustrating me. Good thing I'm not the TL or else she'll really get some harsh 'sermons' from me. Para siyang tumanda ng walang pinagkatandaan.

*sigh*

Confirm Resign

I have already filed a resignation. And I was a bit antsy when I did it. I feel like I owe the company a lot. So it was mentally, emotionally & psychologically laborious. The heavy feeling was even made intense when so suddenly, out of nowhere [I don't know if it's a coincidence or not] a certain 'compliment' from my student was plastered all over the office. People were like congratulating me as if I was promoted.



Why do I feel my worth from the company when I am so certain about leaving? I've been waiting for this for my almost 3 years tenure. Why?

It's really hard..but I feel good at the same time. That I am needed somewhere. That there is a space that will be vacated in case I leave. The feeling is surreal. I can't explain. I am not so sure if where I'm headed is as stable as this. Honestly I'm kind of dreading & looking forward to it at the same time. I really like this uncertainty. All these years I've made sure of everything before aiming for it. But this time the excitement is priceless. I'm going to step out of my shell. It's liberating.

Just the thought of the novelty of experience that lies ahead is really making me giddy. God help me!

Quote 001

..just want to share this quote I read from BOOKSALE Robinson's Novaliches branch..

"when a man speaks his mind....he's a MAN...

.but when a woman speaks her mind...

..she's a BITCH!"




unfair!

...but the hell I care!

call me bitch then.

The Birthday Treat

My boss treated us August birthday celebrators to a Korean Restaurant just around Ortigas.

All I understood from place's sign was 24 hours open!

So I call that resto as 24 hours resto.

haha it was all in kOrEaN!

anyway, the food was ..... urgh!!

Can't describe. heheh but I liked most of them.

we ate:(not so sure of the spelling)

1. topoki

2. chapche

3. samgyeopsal (my most favorite korean food)

5. kimbap

6.etc..

I may sound a bit ignorant but the 'water' seemed a bit contaminated of some kind of tea.

Well Mr. Lee said it was a water where they broiled a corn?

I'm not so sure.It looked dirty though..I wasn't sure if it was safe.

hehe.

I have a question..to those who are familiar with topoki out there!

Does it have some alcoholic ingredient??

Ah I got a little tipsy (I think) after eating it. When I got back to work after the treat..I was like really drunk.

you know.I have very low toleration for alcohol.

In my whole life .I think I've drunk just 3/4 of red horse bottle!

And in some inuman sessions with friends.. I am always the 'kitchen person'..hehe trying to avoid the 'tagay'.

and another thing...I onced tried tequila.With just one shot I felt dizze & dozed off.(no kidding)

ah anyway...

even before my birthday I've been receiving so much blessings that wishing for gifts is already an icing on the cake.

Thanks to all the people who have been a prt of my life.

..and that f course includes you my dear kaBLOG!
