365 QOTD

What’s the next book you are going to read?

I haven’t decided which one to read next but, I was able to get a bunch digital copies of fiction and non-fiction books and those related to teaching and research. The next book needs to be something related to literacy and something that would help me further with my studies and my work at the moment.

Right now, I was able to get a copy of the 21 Lessons for the 21st Century by Yuval Harrari and I really find it interesting. Though it mostly talks about how the other factors we deemed important and necessary before, like money and automation, is slowly taking over and controlling our own lives, the opportunity to read about it in chunks makes it more relevant and alarming at the same time. At least, knowing about it gives us fair warning. It is always up to us, if we would just allow it to completely take over our lives and surroundings.

It’s 11am and I decided to go out of my home early today and just write this in a nearby coffee shop. My toe is still a bit sore. I had also forgotten to take almost 2 days-worth of the antibiotics and so I am trying to keep up with that starting today.

I tried to wear something different from my usual business suit today. Instead of the usual dark slacks and coat, white top, today, I am wearing a black, closed-neck, long-sleeved top and a vertical-striped square pants and black velvety flats with a mustard-colored tote bag where I just put everything and then another smaller tote bag for my obento. (I should have just taken a photo, right? But this is me trying to practice myself on how to use descriptive words and other words. LOL)

It will a 5-day workweek which I am not used to anymore. HAHA. I usually get a Sunday and a weekday off. Though there won’t be much to do at work for the entire week, we have a grand activity on Saturday, and then we start planning for parent-teacher/counselor conferences and other promotional events before the holidays. These kinds of promotional events aren’t my favorite but I had just learned to embrace it over time, as a learning opportunity again and again.

Let’s see what the week has to offer. For the meantime, the alarm had sounded. I should get going. Tuesday, please be kind to me.

    Kung may time lang talaga ako magbasa, ang isusunod ko ay ang "Hippie" ni Paulo Coelho.
    Nakita ko ba sa fb ang outfit mo na ito? Hehehe.

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...
