Life of a Kat

Revision ongoing. I look forward to posting the revised and improved one on the wall. I used to have a very sharp memory but having undergone major operation, my memory seem to have been selective and lapsing. So, to keep me reminded, I need to have things and musings posted somewhere I can easily read them daily. I look forward to the day that I can post on one of the walls of my soon-to-be new humble abode the improved version of this daily reminder. posted from Bloggeroid

I received this as a birthday gift a few years back from my bekifriends. My birthday is midyear and they seem to know that I love fancy notebooks and writing. I usually have a Starbucks planner every year, I really haven't thought of making the most out of this until I flipped on it today. On 2017, I will start scribbling on this one, I swear! For in 2017, I will start one great adventure of my life. This notebook wont contain my daily activities, but on it, I will write what ever it asks me to do so, like my favorite movies, songs I love to sing along with, how I feel, photos, scribbles and just anything the page asks me to. I will put dates on it and it will be a good one to lookback a few years after. I had accepted the fact that I would need to break my own declared tradition of Starbucks planner to make way for something different. As they have said, change has come. Hmmm.... I still need to look for a good handy daily planner. posted from Bloggeroid

I went on a date today. Sort of a speed date. LOL. We were supposed to meet at 4pm, but since the traffic was really bad on a Saturday afternoon, I arrived at the meeting place around 4:25pm. I texted him and he said to wait for 15 minutes. He arrived 5:30pm. Since its already late to go to our supposed to be destination, we decided to go somewhere nearer. I don't know where to start off with everything. With him holding his phone allthroughout our conversations or with me having to repeat everything I said because he wasn't listening. I told him that I am in some sort of "controlled food intake" since my blood pressure spiked up high last night. It was our first time to meet and I noticed that he was a bit of "touchy". We had to cross a busy street and so maybe as part of his being "gentleman", he had to put his arms on my shoulder. He tried complimenting me about my looks saying I dont look my age. I look younger, he said. I just smiled...

9:18 PM 1. Tapos na yung long weekend. Parang wala naman akong naaccomplish na remarkable in life. LOL. Extend pls. 2. I believe that God really granted my birthday wish on the day itself and it is in the process on unfolding to be in the next few weeks. 3. I am having so much doubt and fear inside me. Last night, I prayed to God to grant me that peace and to trust in Him always, I cried in prayer and I got a good sleep after. 4. Three modules to go and 3 exams, the semester will be over. Mukhang di ako makakagraduate ayon sa ideal timeline ko, pero kelangan kong tapusin tong sinimulan kong ito. Gapang kung gapang pero forward gapang pa rin. 5. Major decluttering ang magaganap. Literally and figuratively. 6. Ang sakit mahalin ng Pilipinas. 7. Sobrang thankful ako for having a supportive family. I can't wait for the day na ako naman yung magbibigay ng suportang kelangan nila. 8. I was supposed to go on a couple of dates, I chickened out on the day of the date. On bot...

My Dear Little Safe Space, I know I have been neglecting you for a little while now. I actually miss you. I have so many stories to share. Thoughts and stories seem to pop up randomly in my head and that I wanted to tell you about. But I seem to lack energy to pull out my phone and type away my few liners for later expansion. Right now, I am in the middle of excitement, fear and pressure. Much as I am claiming the rights to the fulfilment of my dreams and happiness, I still have inner fears and doubts about things unfolding right in front of me. That is very wrong, I know. If it were a different person feeling this way, and I am the listener, I probably would have advise that person to completely surrender everything to the Lord. To just let things flow, do what must be done and wait for things to happen as they are supposed to be, just because you believe that they are bound to happen. I should be following my own advice. Let His will be done. As for me, let me do what must be done. I...

Hi! What’s your name? /Mayneymizteyo/ Theo, not his real but he prefer to be called that, is my first zero-English student this year. He is an 8-yr old boy whose family moved from Russia to the Philippines midyear due to the career movement of his father.  He and Petr, his brother were our first summer class clients on June 2016. Until Japanese kids started coming in the middle of month until early August. His first few days were a real struggle, both for him and us, his teachers. Group classes work for him, however since he needs in depth lessons, an hour and a half is dedicated to one-on-one classes with him. Though I don’t handle him on everyday basis, just twice or once in a week, I make sure to keep track of his progress. How the other teacher handled him, how he behaved or if he threw some tantrums or if it was a good or bad day for all of us.  His enrolment to this big school was held off for a while because they were afraid that he might not be able adjust...
