I Can Make It

I’m so happy to be back here again. I hope I can update this site more often than before despite my busy schedule here at school. I hope to share everything here. Alright, I think I need to sleep now. I will just post more tomorrow as I’ve got an early work tomorrow. Good night y’all guys…Miss you here… ^^

My hands are full at the moment and there are so much to think about before the school year ends in two weeks from now. I just hope that we can accomplish everything before we can’t even think about it. All I need is cooperation and everything will follow. I just hope. I think I won’t be able to update this site more often. Well, I’ll see with my time if I can still connect at my flat since it’s been my problem since last month. Urgh, sighs!

After a few hours of experimenting on this beautiful creation, I can say that it’s worth the late sleep I’m having tonight. It’s okay at least when I wake up tomorrow, I’m gonna be thinking excitedly of opening this bloggie o mine knowing of the recent changes I’m doing with it through some helpful plugins I’ve found here on WordPress. Thanks, I’m so happy and excited to write more…wait it’s gonna be tomorrow. Got to doze of for now…write soon. I’m lovin’ this site even more!

There has been a lot of adjustments here lately but I know I can make it successfully with an ACE. I’ve been confronted with a lot more challenges here every now and then but I’m facing with them boldness and steadfastness of spirit. Of course He is always here with me no matter the time and place. More so, the love and support that my parents, loved ones, and true friends have for me is insurmountable. These are the things which keep me alive in a land away from my comfort zones. Surely, I CAN and WILL make it with an ACE! This is the power of positive mental conditioning. Smiles .

The beauty of language difference is that people tend to really try hard to be understood. One instance was this afternoon when I was about to order my dinner. I was so hungry for we had training on effective games and activities in class and we cleaned the office and got all the clutter out of the building. After I was done with my work, I went directly to the front desk and asked one staff to order my food. I told her to get some aubergine with pork [not spicy please…] and a separate rice; she said she understood me but a few seconds she blurted out what’s aubergine? I described it to her thoroughly and easily yet she cannot figure the veggie out so I tried to get a marker and draw it for her. After I talked with her I felt hungrier than ever. Gosh! If only I know how to speak their mother tongue my life would’ve been perfect in here.

Parents are the best teachers. Do you concur to this idea? If not, on what grounds don’t you agree? Haven’t you learned many good things from your parents? This same idea was brought up to me when I had my teachers’ training several years ago for a special examinations instructor. I had this topic on our essay writing session. I indeed wrote a 250 word essay on this topic. I thought my ideas were only left on the paper but as I went looking for my life and success, I found out that what I wrote on that piece of paper were the same values I’ve learned from my loving parents which serves as my guide now that I am out of my comfort zones. More so as I’ve got to live on my own now, I found out that I’m living the way my parents raised me up as child. The values they taught me when I was a young girl helped me in my decision making and most especially how I should behave with other people now that I’m in a foreign land. Indeed, I can say that I’m so proud of my parents for molding my young mind as I was in my vulnerable and delicate years. Without them, I’d be like a sheep going nowhere without direction and aim in life.

Today is no different from my other weekends here. I got observed by a parent in my second class in the afternoon. I guess it didn’t go well with us since I only played little games with them and I don’t know if the parent enjoyed my class. Well, that smile on her face was enough to tell me everything was okay with her. I just love my second elementary studes class’ coz they are all brainy and receptive in the class. I could see real enthusiasm painted on their faces every time we see each other. In fact, on of my students was so early – Karen and she was the one who won in the English speaking contest here in our place. Pretty proud for her as well. Her mother really gave me a gift after that. Grins.

Well for my middle school studes this afternoon was really great having them. Five of them in my class and we only have one boy – Tom whom we often mistakenly call ‘her/she’ instead of ‘he/him’. Smiles. The class was pretty receptive and eager to chat this afternoon. There was never been a dull moment in the class. That made me took a sort of breather with them after a long but rewarding day with my elementary studes in the morning. Smiles.

While I was on the verge of my lesson planning this afternoon Tina my class monitor came into my room and handed in some papers to sign. I asked her what are those for and she replied that it has to do with the upcoming graduation of my students. Whew! That means, the spring term is about to end. Sad to know but I am partly happy as well for my agonies would end for my naughtiest class ever! Though surely I will miss my students most especially my favorite – HF1ABs. They are just so enthusiastic learners and all the time willing to cooperate in class. There weren’t any dull moments in that class which makes me say even now that I would definitely miss them. As I finished signing all the papers, I realized that CHANGE is constant. Though I already know this fact but experiencing it is more realistic. I always deal with change in my life but having such a wonderful class made me say that I hate change. No, not to that point but but but,,,it’s just that I’d miss them.

Today is the first day of my week here at school but luckily I haven’t got any class tonight. I still went early to school as always and prepared for my week’s lesson plans. I usually make LPs before the busiest days – Saturdays and Sundays. I need to otherwise; I’d be having disastrous classes at the end of the day. Grins. I’d better be prepared in every battle than catching myself empty handed. Chances are that I can be shoot to death easily like in a matter of seconds. Smiles.

I’ve come up with such wondrous ideas while I was bathing this morning. I read it in one of the suggested sites of my colleague and I applied it in my class with elementary school students. Indeed, it really worked out with them. We enjoyed a lot most especially when we run out of time while making the Olympic torches for we weren’t able to go to Wenzhou to witness the official torch pass by. We just created some games and fun stuffs to spice our classes with a taste of the Olympics thing. Today’s been all right for all of us in school and I hope it would be the same tomorrow.
