Joseph Allen

Just who are you, Joe Allen? 2x na that I've been on the YM with him. Would he come to Phils? He said before ari daw sya if moari pud Teresa. Good luck to us in the new year!

He called me up via YM on 4/4/09, we talked for 10mins. I miss him. He's Jewish man gud. God bless!

New Year 2009

Today I thought I would go back to PP. But then, this evening Jovic called me. I wasn't able to answer though kay lowbatt. But does this mean I am meant for Legaspi na? I hold on. God will show me.

Happy New Year, allemaal!

On the Agenda

Today I thought about my life and I came to the conclusion that marriage is definitely high on my agenda right now. Unya na ng eskwela. So, ngita sa ko new permanent job then pwede na ko magminyo. Good luck to me!

But I still miss Singapore. Maybe I should also make it a point to go there. And this time, stay. Asa na man ko ani oi? Mora jud ko'g buang.

Happy New Year, allemaal!

Luchie

She said, Ikaw gud kung asa ka malipay. Please bless her and her family Lord. She's become a really good friend. Find na sya funding for ISS. Goodluck!

EGA

I walked into EGA on 24 Nov 2008. The owner/director asked me to take a test, after which he interviewed me and then I was hired! The hitch was that I didn't answer him when he asked how much I expected for my salary. Tuo ko daku kaau.

Sugod ta ko 1 Dec, but when he gave me a figure and I decided it was small, I thought of looking for other options. When wala pa koy laing nakit-an, I accepted the post. I officially started on Monday 8 Dec 08.

It was my 1st time to teach English na paid. Libog ko at 1st coz debate man ang tawag sa amo klas. But since di man nila kaya, discussion n lng.

I learned a lot about Korea and its people from my adult students. I have come to distinguish the Koreans na sad from other peopel/races.

Overall I lasted for a month there, my last day was 9 Jan 09 before I left for Masbate. I still have to get my last week's pay there, ig uli na cguro pohon. I keep the faith. God bless us all!

Nepal

I would've gone to Nepal in 2005 had I joined the refresher course on Children, Youth and Development. I was preselected for it. But the stupid me went to Singapore instead and made my life miserable. Kaya nga sabi ko kay Leeyaj, I cannot turn my back on ISS, Leeyaj. He said 'U did na nga e'.

I suddenly miss my Nepalese friends, foremost of them Salony and Lava. How are you guys? Good luck to us all!

The Year that Was (2008)

I'd say I had quite a good year, to wit:

I came to Singapore in January but after one month, I took off to Phnom Penh. And there I accomplished at least four things:

1) I got active in GK (Gawad Kalinga). I have visited GK Rafaella many times.
2) I volunteered for one term at CWF
3) I taught kindergarten at Western
4) I attended the CLP of CFC-Cambodia

I am now back in Cebu. I will be starting a job that doesn't pay much but I just trust God. He has better plans for me! (Jeremiah 29:11 lng gud!)

Culture and Poverty

I found this book with the same title at NBS today. The more I read it, the more I am convinced that I should go and migrate to a richer country. I'm thinking of Canada. Tua na man gud sila Abegail and family didto. Sila Leikha pud and family. Sila Ate Cecil, Gigi, Dexter ug Rica Sierras pa. Pero tan-awon na lng ni. Ako lang ni iplot tanan. Everything will happen in God's time lagi. I keep the faith. Merry Christmas!

SIMPLE

True, life is really simple! We make decisions, choices on where our lives would lead. Talk man gud mi ni Benj, secretary namo sa HOA. Ask ra sya when daw ko magminyo aron kakita na daw ko sa ako liwat. Tan-awon n lng ni...
