World Cup

I first had an interest in footabll in 1998, when France hosted and won the World Cup. I had asked Harry then why the Netherlands was Pay-Bas in French.

In the 2002 World Cup in Korea/Japan, I had a student nga nalate ug sud klase coz nitan-aw pa World Cup didto.

In 2006, I asked a postcard from Jamie. Germany mn ang host sa World Cup. Italy diay to nakadaug.

This time, the Dutch have a very big chance of winning it! Gipildi gud nila ang powerhouse Brazil team. Pakulba kaau ang semifinals with Uruguay, abi nako moapas na to. And tomorrow night, they'll face Spain. Basin maglisud sila coz robo kaau moduwa ang mga Espanol. Pero I'm always hopeful. Go Oranje!...

Place

I thought that if I'd go to a foreign place or a place where nobody knows me, I could just be lost in all of it and forget things. I was mistaken. Coz the place may be different but I would still be meeting people. Di ko rin maiwasan to share myself. Good luck, Doki!

Siem Reap 3

I am in Siem Reap for the 3rd time. I sent my CV to 2 univs this am. Tan-awon lng nato unsay gawas ato. God bless my plans!!

I Quit

Today is my last day at Camtech. Actually niadto ra ko aron magkuha sa ako allowance. Giundangan n nko oi. Gabii na kaau ko mouli kada gabii nya at the end of the month, transpo allowance ra diay ako makuha? $50 pa jud. Nya di gud na sayon ila ipabuhat, ipadali pa. Ngita n lng jud ko lain. God bless my plans!! :)

Decision Time

I like it here in Cambodia, Lord. But the jobs I found are not that good, I mean, I am not secured in my work and I am not teaching fulltime. I found an opportunity with a language school but gamay ra pud allowance. Right now I'm asking for a higher allowance coz lugi ko if gamay ra ila ihatag no?

I pray for the best. If wala jud nindut moabot, uli sa Pinas by Sept. pohon. God bless my plans!

Last Term

On the start of our last term in school, 3 English teachers decided to leave. What??

Actually, nice n bya ako nakit-an n work didtos kindergarten skul. But I want a better job Lord. Sana makahanap ako ng bago by September pohon....

I'm doing well mn sad sa English skul. So far, I'm developing an English program based on the New Headway books. Mahirap sa umpisa but makaya ra man diay. Good luck to me!

I just trust God. Di nya ko pababayaan. Happy weekend!

Volunteer

I only asked to volunteer at Camtech. Wow, they offered me a part-time post. Assistant to the Mgmt pa ang job description and I will sort of intern for 3mos. wherein they'll only provide me with transportation allowance. After 3months, they'll review daw my performance and I might be offered a full-time post. I pray for the best, bigay to lahat ng Diyos e. Happy weekend, everyone! :)

Yuka

She was the first to visit me here in PP since I came back. Last end Oct 09 ta to but namatay mn iya lolo so it was rescheduled to 1st wk of Dec. Grabe to na trip oi, hectic kaau. We went to Siem Reap and back in 24hrs! Then she made time to visit me in kindergarten skul and took pictures with me and the kids :) She said 'you're obviously much happier here than in SG'...Such a good friend!

Now she's back in Japan and working in a similar post as her work in SG daw. She just went to Laos but she said she's pretty sure she'll be in Cambodia in a few months. Thanks, Yuka; see u here soon. God bless!!

Full Circle

I had asked Madon this week for advice on my life. She gave me really good advice. "Magsumikap ka ng husto para mabayaran mo ang brother mo"...Kahit matanda na daw ako, I could save my pride and integrity daw if I could do it.

That's what I would do. Good luck to me!

Siem Reap 2

I am in Siem Reap again this weekend. My former student, Merky is in town with her friend Vance; this is their 1st stop in Cambodia. Travel n lng pud mi dungan to PP pohon. Then they would exit to Saigon and return to Manila pohon. Grabe nilang wara2 oi; SG pa gud cla 1st then KL then Phuket then Bangkok then Cambodia na...5 countries in 2wks!

I remember the time with Yuka here last December. It was a very hectic schedule: I picked her up from the airport at 7am then we travelled to Siem Reap at 10am. Sa amo kakapoy, 645pm p lng tulog na mi!!

I wish Yuka is okay. She was concerned she may not find a job in Japan. Kaya yan, Yuka, ajah! :)

Ate Jing

Ate Ica is really a very nice sister to have. Kakabalik lng nya from a holiday in Phils. She brought all my books in SG. Kabaguod tawn sya bitbit but diri ra sya nireklamo when nagkita na mi.

She also bought me blouses in Gaisano Mactan coz she took note of Mdm Shirley's comment that probinsyana daw ko manamit. Then she bought me a handbag also, and a T-shirt from Singapore. I pray to God to bless her more. As K-Mart said, she is admired for her simplicity and her sincerity. Mag-37 na si Ate Ica ig March 30 pohon. Kadali.

Mauwaw ko niya if magminyo ko ahead. We'll see.

Have a nice week everyone!! :)
