A little confused

I don't know why I keep failing on the job that I've been doing for almost 7 years. Little by little, I'm starting to realize that this is not really what I'm good at -at all.

I think I need to reevaluate my career options. I just don't think I can handle anymore stress that I've gone through before.

Embracing Change

Back in the mid 90s, traditional schools also require traditional methods of learning and reviewing outside school via tutors. Usually, teachers were hired as instructors who would either make the student stay in school after class or would go to the student's residence to study. Some parents have more confidence in tutorial centers who specializes on students' specific areas of improvement. The difficult part in these traditional methods are the need for physical appearance of parents, students and teachers at the same time at a specific time frame only. This makes learning unavailable at times of immediate need like next day examinations, long or difficult assignments and idle periods.

Thanks to fast, reliable technology and internet - online tutors have been springing to take advantage of the opportunity to learn 24/7.

No luck

As any customer would be - I am fuming mad with the cable service's installation contractor as they didn't show up as promised twice in a row. I should've known that there were no classes last Monday if we have TV since Saturday.

This country needs people who understands urgency better. The service has been paid for in advance and yet, they couldn't give it to us. Frustrating.

Disconnected

A few days ago, we had our cable and internet service disconnected. We're now using a postpaid internet service (I won't tell who or they get free advertising for their sucky service). We applied for a new provider last Thursday who promised to get us up by Saturday but never came. Bad omen don't you think?

Well, I must say that life without internet is bearable. But TV - I'm going nuts here at home. I flipped all the magazines I have, almost done sorting my deleted music library and sorted thousands of photos. I'm breaking the silence by pumping up the speakers with whatever is playing on the iPod. Being disconnected to the world - no news about the weather, no headlines - its just crazy. I feel like days are being taken away from me just by not knowing anything outside.

Hope the cable guy shows up tomorrow morning. I NEED MY TV BACK!

Weird

To date, I have read 5 books. It rarely happens because I don't find time. I loved the last novel I read to bits but I have never dreamed of it.

What's weird is that - after putting down The Alchemist, I immediately dreamt of it. Its so vivid that I still remember it when I got up in bed.

In fact, I don't quite understand some parts of the story right away so I have to reread. (Should I be ashamed? Haha) Or maybe I kept thinking what "all things are one" literally that it appeared in my dream.

"Should you follow your omens?", " Do you really speak to your heart?" I also thought this literally.

Maybe at some point this book moved me inside but didn't realize it upfront.

Urologist

Today, we visited Willa's pediatrician for a follow-up check up. I was nervous - as any mother would be, for her to be on another set of antibiotics. Although my daughter has never caused me any trouble on taking her medication, I'd prefer she's taking none.

Willa's test results showed some abnormality in the bladder so we were referred to a Urologist. The doctor was pleasant and gave us a lesson about urine retention and how the medical procedures are done. Trust me, you don't want to have an initial test with a doctor like him. Diagnosis is lengthy and painful.

The silence in the room broke after he told me and my husband that our precious little girl is okay. But what I loved about this doctor is that he's not complacent. He asked for series of tests if the infection does not occur in 3 months (the easiest ones - Ultrasound and Urinalysis).

I'm rarely fond of doctors because they either treat your illness without explaining what's happening to you or totally ignore you. If  any reader here is in Marikina, Cainta or  Taytay area and need someone like him, please contact me and I'll give you his details.

Weeping


I don't normally cry over the books that I'm reading but A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Housseini moved me and left me weeping on the last few chapters. I've also learned a lot about Afghanistan - a country I only knew because of Osama Bin Laden & Al Qaeda.

Finished the last two hundred pages in one sitting. Yes, its that good.
