no, i wasn’t busy or anything. i was just too lazy to blog.

so many things have happened but i can’t seem to put myself to blog about them, so let me try now..

after songkran allan and i had to literally drag ourselves out of bed. it was such a crappy feeling but we had to. and isn’t that such a terrible feeling? doing something out of obligation? so it’s been 5 days since we started working again and slowly, things are going back to normal.

i know it doesn’t sound nice of me to be saying how much i hate work. i know there are so many people who have families to feed but haven’t got jobs. i don’t want to sound such an ingrate.

i do love my job, or at least some parts of it. i am a teacher. i love being a teacher. i love spending time with the kids, laughing and playing with them. it’s the admin job i hate. i have to supervise teachers, hire teachers, keep tab of their lesson plans and objectives, check everything in the english department, and what have you. if it were only teaching, there would be no complaints from me, pramis.

anyhoo, allan and i watched…. prepare your eyes…. bituing walang ningning and bukas luluhod ang mga tala sa youtube. grabe, aliw. then we watched ang cute ng ina mo. while these are really entertaining, they are also time consuming. so we’ve stopped for now.

i might be up for a minor [please let it be minor] surgery tomorrow. so please pray for me. my thresh hold for pain is very, very low. this is really bothering me but i have to go through it.

i need all the prayers i can get.

salamat po!

lazy saturday

this is the first free saturday we’ve had in months!  we work from tuesday to sunday so we don’t have the luxury of enjoying saturdays save for a few times when it is a national holiday.

it’s songkran tomorrow.  for those of you who do not know what songkran is, try wiki. he he kidding.  songkran is the thai new year and everybody have loads and loads of fun, locals and foreigners alike.  it is that time of the year that people throw water to one another, all in good fun.  this goes on for 3 days.  a lot of water, a lot of booze and a great way to meet new friends.

allan and i woke up at 11am and just enjoyed the free time that we have today.  i spent most of my time watching videos from youtube and allan is with his electic guitar.  we have no plans of going out except later when we go to church.

i’m beginning to gain new friends in the blog world and it is really exciting.  i missed this.

thanks to new friends and thank you for dropping by my blog.  i miss my other blog friends but i dont know where they are now.  must have gotten tired of blogging.

so, my new beginning has begun.

hoorah!

here to stay

looks like i’m sticking to my guns and staying at wordpress.

i visited my old blog and attempted to drag all my posts from there to here. not cool, i did say that this is starting all over again.

still there were stuff in my old blog that will be good for remembering old times. if i could only find a way to store it somewhere but i guess the tiresome work is one more thing that’s holding me back. i also heard that blogdrive will be closing come December. i better start copying and pasting now.

but anyhoo, i am here for good.

“Tomorrow’s Jobs Cannot Be Done with Yesterday’s Skills”

The world is forever moving forward and things change and develop by the second. In order for us to catch on to the future, we must equip ourselves with skills that will match advanced technology in the years to come. What must we do to keep up with the times?

What jobs await for us in the future? It is a given that more people and more industries will rely heavily on computers, from employee identification, data processing, filing encoding and all that people used to do in the workplace. We can also expect things to be done in lesser time and in a quicker manner as people always seem to be in a hurry. There will also be an increase in the number of people operating on machines rather than hiring multiple people to do a certain job.

These future jobs can be a threat to manpower if we lack the proper skills and trainings to compete in an advanced setting. Improvement is the key word.

Continuous learning in your chosen field is always a good start. Not because you have landed on a secure post now means your stability is defined in the future. Remember that the only thing permanent in this life is change. Books, researches, case studies and information from the Internet are ways to help people who do not have the time to go to school or to enroll in special courses. These are effective and economical ways of learning.

Choosing a company that promotes continuous learning by sending its employees to seminars, trainings, social gatherings, and other educational functions is important in keeping you future goals intact. Being in a workplace that does not give chances for its people to grow and learn more is a waste of time.

In the end, it all goes down to you. How much are you willing to invest when it comes to securing your future? Are you content with being at the same desk doing the same things day after day or do you think and act knowing that the world is changing everyday and that new discoveries and new technology are just around the corner?

It lies in you, in what you can do and what you believe you can do to help and cope with the advent of technology.

to a new beginning

i was never one to easily change from one thing to another. i have had my blogdrive blog for years now and have always attempted to move to someplace else. and each time i tried, i failed.

but now, i am seriously doing this. i want a personal touch to my personal blog. thus, a new beginning.

i am at a point in my life where everything is just a few steps away from a million changes. and at this point in my life, i have come to accept that not all changes are bad. well, most are unpleasant but not all unpleasant things stay that way. sometimes, life has its way of using the bad stuff to make way for great ones.

career-wise, it’s pretty much the same. no, i will not let my frustrations in the office work their way to my new beginning. my other blog is filled with those. come to think of it, this may be the reason for my resentment towards that blog.

in line with new beginnings, we are only a few days away from moving in to our new house. it feels wonderful to have something to look forward to. allan and i are busy preparing and decorating our new place. and it’s in the city center, too. that means we are just minutes away to everything that is convenient.

as if i were not busy enough, here i am still looking for things to fill my time. one thing shows promise but i will not say anything lest i jinx it.

it’s funny how i write in a tone that speaks to someone or to some people who are already reading my blog. but maybe in time, there will be people here, and there will be exchange of wise banter, jokes and laughter.

hmm, a new beginning that will lead to new friendships.

just what i need.
