  • SOCIAL FAILURES (Such as Myself): ONE TIP



    SOCIAL SUCCESSES
    I have many friends that have succeeded in life... they charmed their employers to the top and won the hearts of many adoring friends and future spouses. These attractive, intelligent, and witty socialites live the life that many dream of; it seems that in every possible way, they’ve won. [PREVIOUS]

    SOCIAL FAILURES
    In a case such as mine, the opposite holds true: do to my intense character flaws,  and offensive personality; I’ve experienced all kinds of harsh reality checks; if I am unable change for the better, in the near future, I will find life all the more difficult. One thing social failures (such as myself) must admit, is that our reality checks are usually deserved. There are penalties for showing our anger in public, not letting things go, and sadly enough sometimes very special relationships get lost.

    DO NOT DESPAIR...
    If you (like me) are a social failure, I have one tip: If there is a circumstance in which you cannot control your anger (and its starting to show) as soon as possible, excuse yourself for the day. It is far better to break an engagement and spend the day alone trying to get over your issues, than to interact with others with that negative energy swirling around you. And when you leave, do it politely, and wish them well; your friends deserve to understand it is not them you are angry at anyway, but your own personal issues still need to be dealt with. With that note, I would like to wish you all the very best of luck… The good news is that we don’t have to remain this way, so lets change for the better!

  • IS 'HONEST' ATTRACTIVE? HOPE SO!


    SIGHHHHH~
    This whole month, I have been getting SUPER insecure about my looks, and I've been buying lots of useless makeup (most of which I don't use); Man Alive, I thought I was over this stage! How come everyone around me has to be SO attractive... Okay I guess I have to remind myself, at least I am honest; that's attractive right? (Yeah right ).

  • TIME TO DISCOVER A CHURCH


    Sigh… I haven’t been able to go church, ever since I’ve been in here in my city (I’ve gone once during orientation, but it’s been like a month); so for the past 2 weeks, I’ve been extremely determined (Sigh: Last week I woke up too late, and this week I am not sure where to go; BUT that is NOT going to stop me today!) Just as J says, I’m like Christopher Columbus, who goes out and explores new adventure; With that note, I will take J’s words, and travel on several buses, until I reach a building with a cross on it; Come… it is time to discover what’s out there!

  • SICK TODAY


    I got sick today, (well technically yesterday). I noticed during teaching that I was super stressed out and really short tempered with my students, so when I told my head teacher, (he)/(she) took me to the doctors office to see what I might have; Mr. Doctor said that my sickness was allergy related, so he prescribed me some medicine to take every day. As soon as my teacher dropped me off, and I had a little dinner, I went straight to bed and slept for like 13 hours.(I was tired)

    Today, I am at my apartment, taking a day off; I have to say I am pretty happy about that. There is nothing more wonderful than lying in bed, after eating a bowl of warm gruel and lots of vitamins. For now... it feels really great to relax.

  • OMG, MY 6TH GRADE BOYS!!!!!!


    My sixth grade boys were BAD TODAY!
    OMG... I think they were taking revenge  from yesterday (I had punished them because they were all bad then too... BUT some took it really personally) Now they know I am scared, and I don't want to teach tomorrow... I'll come in for my other grades, I just say I'm sick when 6th grade rolls around.

  • ODE TO A HEAD TEACHER


    I don’t know why but for some reason, lesson planning for me takes a little less than 6 hours to prepare (My lessons aren’t creative, or even good… but it still takes that long). My head teacher tells me that lesson planning is not for the faint of heart… even though parents or head supervisors above (him/her) approach her with all these expectations.

    My head teacher has a lot of compassion for me, even though I don’t do half as much of the work as the rest of the teachers (a lot of them teach 6-9 subjects/4 hours of preparation for each subject); But (he/she) says that she understands my stress because I don’t have a text book yet, and I’m trying to get settled into the flow of work;

    Today, (he/she) treated me out to pizza. It was the best pizza I’ve ever had here. Thank you head teacher, I really appreciated tonight.

  • SHORT AGAIN


    I got a hair trim in DG, but was unhappy with how timid they were with the scissors, and decided to thin some layers out; but I surprised myself with how much I ended up cutting off; I chopped off a lot… its a completely different creation... and its short again.

    I am not sure if it is a good thing or bad thing, but I’m the type of person who has the habit of cutting my hair when I get distressed. I find that when I cut my hair, it is very relaxing… it was like cutting off all the bad.

    I told many people when they saw my hair that it was therapeutic (pro: it really is) and they should try giving it a shot sometime. I don’t know what it is about cutting hair, but its liberating (Oh and I am getting better at cutting… maybe I should become a stylist after my signed term is over).
