A Career Path

  Thirteen years had passed, when I finished my teaching degree in a State College. I successfully passed my board exam and became a licensed teacher.  The journey of being a teacher is sometimes thrilling and sometimes it is stodgy. Sometimes I caught myself getting stuck of my place and feeling sufficed of just being an unexciting teacher in the four corners of the room. I usually feel this way when  I am giving out of ideas yet I do not want to run my class with a boring lesson .The children  are keeping on incumbently  answering their workbooks and test papers ,  as  the easiest way to put up with the students in a noiseless class. However, there are times I feel that I am productive. When school work and meeting are less demanding of my time, and  attending a webinar for teachers and studying online help me  to gain ideas worth for my class.  Last term, the best acclaimed I heard from one of my students was my subject was myste...

My Special Day

 Every year our age is adding and we cannot hold it back. Today is my birthday and I am 35 years old. I love the five attached with my birth age. Five is my lucky number and I am hoping to have a fortunate year. Few days ago, I was making a decision of what foods should I prepare for this occasion or what cake should I buy.  I usually don't celebrate my birthday because for me birthday preparation gives me anxiety and lots of decision making  which I am not fond of.

Hard Days

This is my first time to write a blog. I often write down my thoughts, fears, and dreams on my diary. Yeah... I think I  am a bit older to keep a diary now that I am a Mum. Well, I still do write on it as if  it is a friend who keeps my secrets aside from praying of course. Hard days... hard up. working and back pain .. lots of pain...  my body keeps aching.. yelling at me! Hey! I am tired, why don't you take some rest. I  can't. I need to work hard. I need to keep my job. I need to provide for my family needs. I am a Mum.. a mother.. who needs to sacrifice a lot...because I am a woman. A woman that should be strong to keep everything in order, balance, and lighten up the home of my family. I tried to complain that hard days are getting heavier but mothers like me answered the same thing  because , " You are a Mum"..." That's Mum!" This is Mum's life. It is overwhelming, bigger to its word, yet meaningful.
