Kat, You will be fine.

-

Just when I had set my brain to sleep early, it did feel sleepy very early, but it had awaken again after a few minutes, making my consciousness alive and active, just like that when you take a catnap. Oh boy.

Tomorrow will be sort of a big day. I will be taking Japanese Language Proficiency Test, N4. Sort of a judgment day for all those times I tried to learn the language in different ways:

Self-learning
Free conversation course offered in the city
TV Series/Movie Marathons
Attempts to converse with friends and co-workers

I even had set a schedule for myself to follow for a few months and then suddenly, I drifted away from it and I have consciously told myself to study, pick a material and then work on it. Until I am back to the momentum then it fades away again. It had been a constant battle of willingness and need to learn and keep myself occupied.

I had accumulated quite a good number of learning/test-taking practice materials over time and had I been more consistent with studying, I probably won’t feel this advance guilt should I not pass the exam.

I don’t know why I am like this. I always am optimistic when comes to learning outcomes for others but for my own, I seem to always feel of falling short of my own expectations. I can never feel contentment with my efforts for myself. Why do I have to be this unkind to myself?

I was browsing in the exam materials and I seem to have forgotten everything. All of it. The same old worrisome that I am is getting into my being and that confidence just melted away.

Then, I remember I have a God. Why do I keep forgetting?

This life had turned me into a self-centered freak, chronic worrier and just solitary. As my neighbor snores soundly, I bet, I snore loud myself, here I am writing my worries.

(Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.-Desiderata)

Dear Self, whatever the result of tomorrow’s exam, everything will be okay. There is always another time. Another chance. New learnings. You will be fine. You will do great because God will never ever forsake you, nor lead where you aren’t supposed to be. So, end this post. Get into bed. Turn off the lights. Pray. Sleep well. Tomorrow will be an awesome day to celebrate knowledge, faith, family, friends and life itself. Remember, you will be fine.

    you are totally fine cher kat!

    naka-relate ako dito. lagi akong positive na mai-improve din ang learning outcome ng mga bagets kapag magtyatyaga talaga akong magturo at paghahandaan ang bawat lesson. so, minsan consistent naman ang effort ko, tapus may mga araw na feeling ko balewala rin naman yung ginagawa ko. kaya lagi akong nagbabahagi ng mga hanash sa buhay at trabaho kila eldie at neri; yung mga sinasabi nila nakakatulong sa akin para makakuha ng iba pang pananaw sa pinagdadaanan ko (wow lol) o kaya minsan yung mga nababasa ko sa blog or napapanuod na docu ay nagbibigay sa akin ng ibang point of view, then mare-realize ko na lang na ang simple lang pala ng problema ko, kaya ko naman palang bigyan ng solusyon, basta magsikap at oo tama ka cher have faith kay God :)

    so anong pinaglalaban ko? bakit ang dami kong sinabi, hahaha! tc cher! :)

The Man Behind the Metaphors

The skies had been dark like a storm is coming. It had been raining the whole night long and when I woke up that day, I had fears that Sir Jonathan can’t come to school anymore due to the heavy downpour. I opted not to ask for I may just get the dreaded response. I prepared for school. Ate breakfast, brought my laptop since I thought I may just have to stop by a coffee shop after school and finish the item analysis I am doing. It was very difficult to get a ride. I wish I can afford to buy a car and save myself and my stuff from getting wet and so that I can bring more things to school for experiments and so that I can to all the places I wanna go to and I don’t have to worry about over-packing stuff and I have thought about all of these just because its raining heavily and I have no school bus anymore L When I arrived, the school seem deserted. No kids nor parents were at the gate. The guard told me that the principal decided to suspend the class lest the heavy rains cou...

11 Things I Will Miss

Malapit na malapit na! Magpapaalam na ko sa pagkabampira. Ang pinakaunang kong career ay nagsimula sa BPO hanggang sa napadpad na ko sa mga “captive sites” companies, at hindi ko ipagkakaila ang malaking pasasalamat ko sa   pagkakataong naibigay sakin sa loob nang mahigit anim na taon. Marami akong natutunan, maraming nais kalimutan at syempre mas marami yung nais kong manatili lalo na yung pagkakaibigan at mga aral sa buhay na nabuo habang ako'y nasa trabaho at nakikisalamuha. Dahil ako ay magbabagong-buhay, nag-isip ako ng mga bagay na talaga namang mamimiss ko pag umalis ako sa pagka nocturnal being. 1. Airconditioned Office - Ang init ngayon! Obvious naman, ang mga callcenters/corporate centers ay may aircons, may alam ba kayong hindi? Ipagbigay alam sa kinauukulan.  2. Ergonomic Chair - na most of the time ay ergonomic bed na din. Natuto akong matulog nang nakaupo.--those split-second moments of opportunity para makadaupang-palad si Sleep.  3....

Just a few days ago, I posted   This Is Plagiarism   together with other write ups. And I never thought I would have this kind of Reply from   Mr. Tripster   J   who called himself   The Epaloid Lover na Feeling Ako Yung Sinulatan Here’s the entire comment: Mr. Tripster 14 March 2013 08:39 This is epalness.... Hi! I'm fine. It's really great to hear from you. I'm not trapped in the future, I do not dwell in the past. I'm simply in your dreams. You have difficulty finding me because you sometimes look in the wrong places and in the wrong moments of the day. Therefore, I cannot manifest in your world. My present is a blur and yet it's blissful. But everything will be clear if we both make a decisive choice and a giant leap of faith in our lives. How soon? I really don't know. We don't ask silly questions. It's just that sometimes we need wisdom. I'd like to be there now. But I'm no master of my time. I'm n...
