although I doubt very much people really read my entries... I just wanted to tell everybody I was still alive.
I've moved back from being away for three years. Although I still detest being back in manila with the rat race that is the life of being in the corporate metropolis, it pays the bills.
I may give a more substantial update sometime soon but for now.. thats all I can really say. |

First day at the new job... damn I was bored out of my mind and yet I'm tired as a dog.
Yesterday was just long. For the past 4 years I have been a teacher, or atleast been working in the education field. A couple of months back I was told that I would not be returning to my old job because I was a local hire and the boss didnt believe in tenuring me. It was a blow on my pride, add to that not only did I lose my job but my wife did too.
And we just had a baby!!!! FUCK!
*sigh*
But I am over that already. Its just that its difficult trying to readjust to life in manila again. Its a pain. aside from adjusting to that, I took a job in the corporate world and after yesterday I really don't see myself enjoying it very much. I will have to trudge on though.
I don't have the option of deciding not to work. I have to work because I have more than myself to think about

Its been a long while since i last posted anything. For a great many reasons i havent posted some of it being not really much to update on.
This past week has been very long for me. it was very taxing physically and mentally that I needed the weekend to recuperate.
Last wednesday i had a big meeting with other people in my profession. Its the first time we really met together and it was a very good thing that we did. Problem was that I had to get up at 3:30 AM to start travelling at 4:00 to get to the meeting which was about 3 hours away. I get to the meeting and it lasted until about 12:00. We had breaks in between but it was long, technically not the place to resolve anything but we were able to share ideas.
After the meeting I had to come back, which meant another 3-4 hour ride back. Getting in I was realy groggy from the lack of sleep and decided to hit the sack. My beautiful siberian husky though had different ideas. And decided that he enjoyed having his master back that he was a bit hyper and wanted to play. We played his favorite game... TAG! but since i wasnt feeling to spry we only played for about 5 minutes
the next day, Thursday, i was up and early again because there was a campout. 100 odd kids were being shuttled to a camp site 6-7 hours away and i was one of the adults asked to chaperone. It comes with the job and it does allow me time to spend with the students on a different level. Lots of different things went wrong with the trip even though it was a good experience. As the day went on, lots of activities happened, luckily i just had to facilitate.
Then night came. I trust the kids but well sometimes kids will be kids. So to prevent them from doing hanky panky things adults were suppose to stay up and take turns on watch. Problem again, no other teachers wanted to deal with it. So, since nobody else wanted to do it I stayed up until 1:00 AM. Needless to say i was exhausted and couldve slept until 10 AM the next day. NOT
I got up at 6:15 and asked the other adults who would be facilitating the scheduled polar bear swim. "Huh? we're suppose to facilitate it?" was the response i got. So i got up and went over to the pool area and saw 15-20 kids doing dangerous things in the pool area! Being a lifeguard i immediately accessed and gave some semblance of order. So only a few kids got hurt which is a good thing.
After that, there was an activity i didnt really have to be around for so i actually decided to find a quiet spot and possibly meditate on concentrate my energies. didn't happen. A couple of the other adults and I decided to frisbee gold. Its an interesting little game and i enjoyed myself. We were then shortly approached and asked if we could do facilitate other activities and being on the ball as we were we did. I helped out with beach volleyball, which i havent done in quite a while. I did okay i think.
suffice it to say i needed a good rest this weekend. I got some. but definately need another weekend to take a breather.
My shoulder is wretched, my body is tired, and i'm suppose to be working
how are you lives going?

Its been awhile since my last post but life has gotten in the way of me writing things down to detail my life.
I've been overworking myself again, not like I've ever really stopped. But now that i'm to be a father i think i need to work overtime now to get enough money to provide for my family. its hard to think that i'm going to be a dad, not that i'm nervous or regretting it. Its just the thought of having to mold another human being into the person he/she will become that scares me.
its different when you are teaching, because once they go home they are no longer my responsibility. I worry i guess that i might turn into my parents and create a child who will resent all the things i think is good for them. sometimes i wonder if everything that we are is the opposite of what our parents wanted us to be, and that fate is cruel and will make us return to that kind of cycle.
I'm rambling for a bunch of different reasons. My interviews havent shown up and i dont have much to say about stuff.
work is alright. getting involved with a lot of facets of the office and thats good and bad. It means added work for me but i think i can handle it so why not. a request i made has been shot down and that sucks. my students are the ones that suffer and not me. I've started tutoring which is a big drain on my energies but i will persevere I hope..."
so there...
