This morning was really fun and I had a great time with my toddlers. We had pretty great time playing games which made them learn new English words and expressions. I felt really good when a mother came to me and said her daughter’s speaking skills has improved when we started learning English. Her daughter could tell her some words and games we played in class. It’s a pat on my shoulder, whew! I feel great!
With the sun shining so brightly this morning it gave me the assurance that today will be alright. When I came to school and opened my email, I found out some great news! I am so glad that my prayers are now granted and I can move on with my other plan – to buy a new laptop! Hopefully I could buy it next month, I’m excited! whew!
This afternoon I chatted with my other two friends here and I really had fun time talking with them using voice chat. I am really happy to know they are doing great job while having fun in their respective workplaces now. We talked with a lot of things such as lovelife, family, and travel experiences. I spent a few coins but I enjoyed my time in the netcafe.
I am so happy to know that Jason, my cousin is now in Taiwan. He is going to work there for a three-year contract. My other two cousins are also working there near his workplace. Just so happy to know they are doing good in their respective lives.
This afternoon, I went online and chatted with some friends and I came to know that they are also very interested to follow after me here. They are now processing their papers to work here and I hope to see them all soon! Whew indeed! Now, I am far more excited than when I was about to go to Hong Kong last year. Speed up your applications my friends!
Two days ago we got an invite from our colleagues in a city nearby and we stayed over their apartment for two nights and two days. We spent the holidays with them and we really enjoyed each other’s company. On the first day, Anelie cooked “bihon” for the four of us and the other two guys liked it. Alex is a Ukrainian teacher who is really good at playing piano. Her interest in China and the people turned her piano career into an English Teacher which she really enjoys.

As usual, Frank is the first student who came here this morning and guess what,,,knocked and went in the teachers’ office just to give me a small pack of orange juice. Very sweet act from a small kid, This morning’s Grade 2 class so fantastic! We really enjoyed the class with their parents watching them do the activities and games. My students really enjoyed my class [as I feel it,] and the parents had fun watching their child making the best to answer the mixed questions coz we were reviewing all the units of the Trinity book. Today is our last day of the Winter Course and I am happy and sad. Happy because it’s the last day and I can finally rest after such a very long wait for the Chinese New Year holiday. Sad because my class with my G2 students has ended today. I will surely miss those kids especially Frank, the outstanding student in class and a very smart kid. He surely can sit and pass the Trinity Test. Well, my class ended with a pat on my shoulders. All the parents and kids went home with smiles on their faces as they say thanks to me. I was so fulfilled and happy with those sweet words. Lastly, Frank said goodbyes and thanked me very many, many. It’s the way he said it though,
This morning despite the crisp cold wind and the heavy rain, we went to the nearest and the most convenient supermarket near our place – RT Mart. We bought some things for our dinner tonight with our coteachers – Danielle and Francis. Anelie will cook our dinner and of course my role is always the housecleaner,,,hehehe I did it this morning already.
This morning class was quite fun with the kids. At first I was worried a bit because only one of them came early – Frank, the smartest kid in my class. Every time I have this kid in my class, everything would be just right and definitely exciting. Whew! He is just the right motivating factor to have in such a boring class. I am glad to have him in my class. This afternoon the monitor asked me of how he is behaving in my class as well as with my other kids. I told everything – perfomance in class, behavior, and some recommendations for the parents to do at home with their child. After a few minutes, the monitor came inside the office and told me the parents’ feedbacks of their child. It was positive and I was happy to know that Frank is so eager to come to school. He even woke up early one Wednesday morning just to come to school early when in fact it was our day off here. Chuckles A pat on my shoulder indeed.
This morning grade 2 class was really fun and a moment to cherish with my kids. Indeed I got their attention through the paper money that I used while playing games with them. I played jeopardy with them which they liked and they even wanted another few rounds after the break. Precisely because they wanted to get the big snickers bar which I promised before I started the class. Whew! Though I was quite freezing in the class this morning, somehow their energies and eagerness to learn lit up the coldness of the classroom.
