Another Quake

We had another quake last night. Twas magnitude 7.9 daw near the epicentre which is Guiuan, Eastern Samar. Here in Cebu City, twas intensity 5 kuno. Just like last February. But I really felt it this time so it made me dizzy. Tuo ko'g mapasok na kos ilawm sa yuta. But other than that, I'm okay. God bless us all!!

Another Visitor :)

I had my latest visitor to Cebu last Friday and Saturday. She's Ms Myra Ramos from Trinity University of Asia in Manila. She came to CDU to do some research on Filipino nurses... I showed her around the city. We even went to Mactan Shrine last Saturday morning... She's my 5th visitor to Cebu since I came home in 2010. Wow! God bless us all!!!

Bubble Tea

On 1 August 2012 I emailed him that I don't want to meet up with him anymore if ever I return to PP to visit or to work there again. Nauwaw mn gd ko that ako sya giaway2 abt that S'pore Kitchen thing nga la nadayon so I thought di n lng makigkita nya. He got angry with me. Why daw ako pa to gihandum ang mga panghitabo from many years past. Tinuod mn pd, coz I don't want to be hurt again. Ako n lng sya ingnan I wish him all the best. Baw n lng when pa ko kaadto PP ani. Really hope it will be in summer next year. Jia you, Doki! I emailed him recently abt planning to visit in summer next yr. Gimingaw n mn gd ko didto. It's been 2yrs na gd since I went home. Sabot na mi to meet for bubble tea or something. I said informal n lng mi coz I don't want to sit in a restaurant anymore. He called me a 'strange' girl. Haha, definitely an improvement from the 'crazy Filipina' that I was once called. :) I pray for the best. Good luck to us always!!!

Married

I do need to put this down. A few days ago Nev told me that he got married last June 18th to the Chinese playwright. Wahh, why did it have to be this date? This is significant to me coz 4yrs ago I met Nick at the CWF entrance. This was when Ate Jing and I went to look at his apartment... Anyway, I guess they're really destined for each other. They were engaged once but they broke up. It's only recently that he went to China to see her again. I wish them all the best!

Goodbye AK

So soon Steve's gonna be leaving Anchorage. He doesn't like it there. Reminds me of myself back in 2009. I went to Legazpi to work in Fr Jovic's microfinance business. I only lasted four months, I went home in May... Guess this is what he and I have in common --we're both on this journey. I dunno if we'd ever get to our destination. Who knows??? Good luck to us n lng. Always!

Crazy Busy Time

I had been busy the past 3wks. Wahh lng jd! I can enumerate them all here: 1) My friend in the US who took out a loan here in Philippines (Kahasol ba!) 2) My sisters in Manila --I bought Bantil's medicines and also sent them money 3) My friends who came here from Legazpi 4) Mama's NSO Birth Certificate 5) My own concerns I thought I wouldn't be able to weather all these. But luckily I was able to. Un nga lang, nawala pd ako laptop (my HP Mini got stolen in the house 2wks ago. God bless us!

Resolved

Before the start of our classes for 1st sem 2012-2013, I agonized whether I would continue with this PhD opp from Utrecht or not. Coz there's been a change in our educational system --now we are adopting the K to 12 curriculum. I thought it meant that I take Education units and get my license as teacher... Anyway I resolved everything yesterday, 6/18/12. I went to CNU and I was told that the DPE program is only 18 units in Education. Which means I can take it in the 2nd semester coz I'm alrdy late for 1st sem. I don't have to let go of the Utrecht thing. God bless my plans. I pray for a fruitful and more meaningful semester. Good luck to us all!!!

Goodbye

I've felt that he's distancing himself from me. Ever since he moved to a new city to work. We've only chatted only twice since. And it wasn't even long. Lisud daw iya life didto coz he doesn't have his car. Besides, he's exploring his new city. He goes to the park to meet creatures like bears, mooses, etc. Another thing is that he said he has a new friend -from Saudi Arabia but who's living there at present. Good luck n lng to him. If we're meant to be you will come back to me. Jia you! :)

June 2012

This new school year is gonna be critical. It will be the start of implementation of the K-12 curriculum. 2 more yrs in school for all the students. But the implication is that some of us teachers might lose their jobs if we don't get a teaching license. I've thought of getting mine. Good luck to my plans!!!

Summer 2012

I'm now spending my summer vacation. Earlier I was planning to visit Cambodia but I didn't push through. I didn't want to use the money that Dex and Janet lent me. Kapuyan n ko mangutang ron.

I thought of working on my PhD proposal. Padayonon ko na ning Utrecht. Si Henky mn gd pd sig pangulit.

God bless me in my plans!!!

VND

I bought Cherile's VND tonight, salin sa iya recent trip to VN. Talk r mi abt life there. It's nice to talk to someone who's been to the region... I miss Cambodia more...

Going?

He said he has alrdy something lined up and a decision to make. I surmised that he's leaving, he probably could be. He didn't reply to my question actually...

Good luck to us!!!

One of our alumna diay offered me her VND from a recent trip to SGN/HCM. Hmmm, it must mean that I should pass by there on my way to KH coz SR is so expensive if I fly CebPac direct. La n mn gd ko kaabot sa mga promos. :(

Good luck Doki, you'll get there in time, just hang on!!!

2/29/12

This day happens only once in every 4 yrs so today must be special. I sure hope so!

I've alrdy helped out my sister and her family as much as I could so the rest should be up to them. I do wish them all the best!

Now that that thing is behind me, I now have to think abt my future --will I stay here or go to KH again? The only question that comes to my mind is 'Why would I decide to teach kindergarten again there?' Lord help me, I don't have a clear answer yet.

We have 2 more weeks of classes then it will be vacation time. I'm thinking of getting my ticket for PP this week. God bless me in that decision.

Happy rare February 29th everyone!!! :)
