Karma

hello! how are u people? I haven't posted new silly blogs here because I don't have own connection now. But anyways, glad to post something new at least though I can't make it long this time.

I had a seminar in Manila for English Language Teaching. I asked my friend to pick me up at the airport. Then , I was supposed to stay in Pius Center but , I wanted to hang out with my friend so I didn't want to stay with my superiors. I had budget for hotel but I wanted to have night life there so I tried to cut the budget for hotel. My friend were walking and roaming around to look for a place which is cheap and no curfew because we planned to go out that night. But then, we were so tired all afternoon til it was already 8 pm and we wasted our time looking for cheap room.

The ending was, I stayed overnight in a room which was not ready and there was no water. I couldnt complain because it was my fault and hahaha I laughed at myself.

I told myself, this is my karma for being corrupt hehehehehe.... I needed to fetch water from the gate to the third floor so I could take a bath and use bathroom...I almost had accident  on the stairs.

I fetched 3 times hehehe... Oh well, as what I have said, I couldn't complain. I also couldn't stand when I took a bath because people outside would see me..... It was a funny experience and a lesson to learn. The plan to have fun on that night was cancelled because we were too tired of looking for a cheap place. 

I decided to stay with my superiors on the following day. I beg them to accept me in their room and told them about the "fetching of water" thing. They laughed at me. 

I had fun on the following nights though but hahaha I had more fun remembering my first night there!

Mineral Processing Plant

I am thinking of borrowing money to start this "small skill mining" business. My father calls it Mineral Processing Plant. This would cost $2000 to start but would make $600 a day when the operation starts. Since my father didn't know I am interested, they looked for another financer who could afford to start with this amount. I think it is not that much if u consider how much u are making. Since, he doesn't have money to start it , he suggested it to our neighbor who works as a captain of an international ship. If it works for them, I don't think they would want someone else to start the same business. Well, I hope I can try this one to at least make something a little bigger in this place I consider no progress.

internet cafe

Using internet in cafe is so annoying. Both Elementary and High school students are so noisy while playing internet games while girls are shouting about cute boys. I don't like using internet here but it costs for me to travel to the city just to use internet. I told them to minimize their voices but they don't seem to understand what silence means. They just ignore me without knowing that I will be their teacher soon. I am trying to remember their faces and when I see these faces in my class, I will make them write a 2 pages essay back to back what silence means. No one is trying to do some research but just playing and chatting. I am very embarrassed to be here but  what can I do? I need to use internet.

It is sad to know that their parents are working hard just to give them allowance but they are just wasting their money here. Once I start teaching in that school, I will have the rule about using internet. If I caught them playing or chatting weekdays, they will have to write a very long essay and if they fail to do so, then they can't enter my class. These students need some discipline and they have to value the efforts of their parents. I can feel that many students will hate me soon, but, well.... let's see! After all I am the teacher!
