Samsung Galaxy Note

I was never really into Samsung Galaxy phone, but I'm now interested because of this new upcoming phone. I may switch my allegiance if iPhone 5 doesn't wow me.

I must be the busiest unemployed person

My September

Really, my current unemployed status is not to be laughed at. I feel so busy with with all the tutoring jobs I've been getting. I lost count of my students, yes, that's how you know you're busy, when you can't count how many students you have. I got into tutoring mainly to make side money while attending school, but now it has somewhat become a full time job. I don't take tutoring lightly, I work hard to help my students achieve success, but I still do wish for a full time teaching job.

Have you ever felt so beaten because submitting résumé after résumé has become monotonous? I vary my cover letters, wondering what the principals are looking for... but I can never seem to "hit the spot".

At least I'm tutoring in a field where I'm interested in pursuing. I love seeing my student's work! The art work above is done by my student when he was in grade 1. I love working with kids and helping them unleash creativity. I find that the more I work with them, I'm getter better at letting students "make mistakes" as they learn. Part of me wants to micro-manage everything, but I realized that that won't help the students in the near future. I love how this art work is so playful, colourful... and it says "how awesome it is to be a kid!"

MIA

I couldn't blog for a while, nor do anything for the last few days because of a terrible back pain (lower oblique).

Remember how I was working out like crazy? Well, my body seemed to have been shocked by my dedication - it decided to give me spasms. I was suffering from sudden muscle spasms that occurred every 3 seconds, believe me, it's deathly painful. Though I must say my abs got quite the workout from all the oblique spasms. I feel a lot better now, but I still can't breathe deep or laugh out loud without my muscles acting up.

Note to self: Give yourself good 5 minutes to stretch before and after a workout.

This is the nicest looking treadmill. It almost looks like a piece of furniture or sculpture. For the last 4 days I've been running and swimming. At first I was taking it in moderation, but now I can successfully run for 20 minutes at 4.6 miles/hour and swim afterwards easily without running out of breath.

Ariah Rose love...<3

My friend and I went to take pictures of her cousin's baby, Ariah Rose, and she's just too cute for words! I love all her funny expressions and smiley eyes! I especially love how the first photograph looks like something that came out of the magazine spread/advertisement! I love taking pictures of babies because they've got perfect skin and they're so candid!

Something lil more refreshing than the original white.

Cirque du Soleil

The other day our family, minus the brother, went to watch Cirque du Soleil perform. The show was pretty good, though I feel like there were too many comic relief fillers. But I have the highest regard for all the performers for putting on a really good show for everyone. As I grow older, I appreciate spending more time with my family and doing things together, which I would have dreaded if I were younger.

My sister is finally growing taller than me! Wow... I remember the day when she was born she fit into my arms.

My dad wanted to pose like the performer (above pic background), like a crane, but my sister was so embarrassed that my dad settled for this pose:

I can't believe it's September already! Enjoy your long weekend if you have Monday off!
