SNIPPETS OF MY LIFE

It is in the living that life gains more and more meaning. It is from the challenges, obstacles, disappointments and persistent efforts that life’s achievements gain their value. If you wish to enjoy success, don’t seek to shortcut the process. If you wish to be kind, compassionate and helpful to others, don’t enable them to shortcut the process. Living well is not the same as living easy and carefree. Being truly rich does not come from being irresponsible, nor does it enable you to avoid responsibility. You can have mountains of money and possessions and still be very poor. Life’s real richness is not about what you have, but rather about how much authentic goodness and fulfillment you express. You may indeed find superficial pleasure in many things. Yet what gives true joy and fulfillment to your spirit is what you have earned with integrity and responsibility. It gains you nothing to have everything if you have not put your effort and commitment into it. Step up, take...

It's difficult to live a balanced life! I feel like I always challenge myself intellectually without letting my mind to rest. My heart receives love but it's difficult to give time for the people I love. I pay very little attention to what's going on inside my heart and mind. In terms of work, I'm pushing myself to achieve my goals without enjoying the ride. I am longing to satisfy my social desires but it's also difficult to spend time for things I enjoy doing.  Starting today, I should take some time to really look at my life in different perspectives. I should follow my heart and I believe that success will not simply be financial but mental, physical, spiritual, and it breaks down walls. 

My evenings like most teachers, are pretty routine. I come home, change, eat dinner, check email, watch TV, read a few blogs, do whatever work I need to, veg-out/think, get ready for bed and go to sleep. My veg-out time is particularly key to an evening well spent. This consists of me turning my chair around, putting my feet up on the small table and just thinking. Most nights this is accompanied by music. Once in a while, it’s nice to have silence though. This is how I process my day and prepare myself for the next. Sometimes I even dream about the future. I can spend anywhere from 40 to 90 minutes lost in thought. While reviewing the day’s events, I’m able to see things I may not have noticed in the moment. I feel that certain kids can be over looked due to my larger class size. When I look back on the day, with individual kids in mind, it helps me remember their specific accomplishments. It can also remind me that I didn’t notice very much about a particular student and should rea...

It's weekend and its definitely the best time for us. Being blessed with this person who's been there for me for four years and still counting. Like any other lovers, its a usual occasion to have an "anniversary date" for we can show our true love for somebody and spending time with him/her can make someone feel so special as it is the best day ever. As for our relationship, i can't deny that we've been for 4 long years already. And its a deep feeling to say that we've reached in a long-term relationship because he's the only man who give me such wonderful love unlike my past bf's and he's the only one who surpassed the high-tempered me, given me much patience in times of conflicts. I'm not saying that i'm a nagger and strict, but there are times that we give time to heal our pains and we made sure we end up to have peace for ourselves. Away-bati, away-bati is always our common denominator. I can't provoke him sometimes  bec he...

Extra-curricular activities- check! I've now done everything except what I'm supposed to be doing. I've got a ton of reading to do for my class (but luckily I don't have class tomorrow because it's holiday), and I've got several small assignments to check and paper works to grade from each of my classes. Clearly this is going to be a horribly disorganized post, as I'm really just typing to avoid work. I don't really have anything to say, as I haven't even gotten into my routine, let alone started analyzing my kids in school and my teaching. I'm also making lists of things I can do besides work while I type, which isn't helping my organizational skills at all.  I was going to start the grading yesterday and check the statuses of my pupils whether they improve or not and planning to have a home visit of the two of my pupils who frequently making absences, but I really wasn't feeling well. I napped all afternoon instead. I'm still not ...

It is hard to sit here and think that this man just wants all of me everyday.  I can't get it through my head ... What does he like ? What does he love? Is he really attracted? Does he miss me like I miss him? Does he want to talk right now? Is he really working ? Did he meet a beautiful female? Is he going to fall in love? Am I his every waking desire? Am I his passion and his fire? All these questions that I ask myself everyday that I truly have no answer to. Do I trust, care , Love , and listen to this man absolutely everyday. Does ANYONE ever know if someone is really being 100%... I would say absolutely not. Anything is possible. I look back at pictures and see how his life has changed , I wonder what he thinks now when he sees my name .... Am I just another stepping stone along the way? When I look in his eyes its more than just a pupil it's a beautiful soul staring right back at me. His eyes hold his passion and I can see every bit of it. Whether it is anger, lust, l...
