Valentine's day

The best thing about being a teacher: never being forgotten on special days. There will always be surplus of chocolate guaranteed. I ended up finishing this whole heart-shaped container full of Ferrero Rocher, my favourite chocolate, in one sitting. How can you not love chocolate?

I'm back! What a long hiatus!


Korean Drama: History of Salaryman


It's been so long since I posted something here! I don't think anybody ever checks my blog, so I'm not quite sure if I should even apologize?

I've been thinking, though, during my hiatus, what I want to do with this blog. I realize that I fail miserably with the popular trends, so I can't go for that route. Also, I don't have anything interesting to say, nor do I write hilariously to make anyone laugh. So, I decided to just post whatever that floats my fancy, and who knows, maybe I'll find my own niche.

So I didn't get that job. Yes, I wasn't 100% sure if I was ready for the move, but learning that you didn't get the offer for a job that you thought you were so qualified for makes you feel a little sad. I even contemplated a career change today. Maybe teaching is not my calling, but I can't brush off the idea- and with no doubt- I can't imagine doing anything else with my life. I love teaching. Please, I'd gladly take on any class, hundreds of tests and essays to mark, and deal with hormonal teenagers everyday. Just please give me a job. I cry out inside everyday

I've always loved learning, and would have pursued the academia and often wondered how my life would have been different today, however, after reading this article, I realized that my destitute life would be no different, except my B.Ed would be replaced with M.A..

On that note, feeling down can really get at you, and eat away your ambition, passion, and positivity! I'm really trying to stay positive, not let the other's good fortune lead me to jealousy, nor secretly become a schadenfreude. P.S. Avenue Q is a one funny play. At first I thought it was just a weird concept- puppets and people singing together- but it works at the end.

I hope this doesn't come out as being a rant, I try to keep the rant on the down low, however, there are days where you just gotta "say it out loud". I tried to keep this as light as possible, sans angry tone.
