I am taking things slowly this time. My family who knows me so well advises me to take things slowly but surely. They know that I can easily decide in a snap of my finger, that I tend to rush things as if there’s no tomorrow, that I am very impulsive when it comes to making big decisions in life, that I am a sentimental fool when it comes to love. So, I reckon I have to slow down and give my frenzied mind a break even for just this year, which totally explains why I am unemployed right now. Boo hoo! But I did not come home running halfway ’round the world because I cannot live on my own, I came home because I want to finish my Masters for professional growth and most importantly, to spend time with Pa and Ma. God knows they’re not getting any younger so I need to see them every day, need to know that when I wake up every morning they’re still there. I am also savoring the moments with my siblings. I know sooner or later we will be drifting apart. We will be treading new paths and these are the moments I want to cherish most. Sometimes though I wish I can easily detach to the people I hold close to my heart. I so love my family and they come first before anything else in this world. :)
Anyhoo, I’ll be working hopefully next year and I have to juggle work with studies but I am pretty sure I can still handle it. I will be having yet another roomful of tots. Oh dear, I’m a bit excited in dealing with my soon-to-be little clients. Hahay, pre-schoolers! Guess it’ll be another year of rattling the alphabets, counting 1-20’s , singing nursery rhymes, reading Dr. Seuss classics, hurdling the tots like stray kittens (haha!) and making crafts. I know my elbows will get smeared in finger painting and my uniform will get dirty from such little messy hands but it’s ok. I know that deep inside I want them to get crazy in school because I am such a crazy teacher. Hahaha!! Hmmm… I am looking forward for another year of chasing, hurdling, lots of hugging, singing, dancing, singing and piggy back riding with the little cheeky monkeys. And yes, time-out chairs for the naughty ones. Hahay… kids!!!!
On a lighter side:
Mara, one of my closest friends visited me yesterday. We had a fantabulous day tweaking the camera, sporting a nice blog template, trying out clothes and of course kwento kwento till sawa. I gave her a décor I bought from one of my trips in Chiang Mai and I’m so happy she loves it. It’s like a triangular lantern with elephants on 3 sides and you can put a bulb on the middle so that it’ll glow during night time.
