After my tiresome day, my classes – speech training for those who are going to take part in the regional battle, I was invited by my student’s mom, who I personally know through the English corner, to eat lobster somewhere. T’was 8:50 pm then that time. I said it’s my pleasure. As we were walking towards the place, she also phoned another friend, an English teacher and at the same time, the owner of the school, a language center, too.

As we were near the lobster restaurant, the teacher was already there standing outside the restaurant. She looks familiar, I said. Only to find out, she’s the one I met last winter on the playground of her school, as I was playing snow with my senior high students. Her school is just beside ours. So we were glad to meet personally again, for we kept seeing each other ‘coz we’re just neighbors. We really had a groovy time while we were eating dumplings, luscious lobster and chestnuts. Such a wondrous moment! Thank you so much for that, I highly appreciate it. See you next time. ‘Til we meet again.

I was surprised upon receiving offline messages from a friend of mine, as I opened my computer, telling me that there were also police officers came to their school. I asked her for what. She answered all about security situations in her place.

China is going to host the 29th Olympic Games this year. Due to this, they are checking the security around. They indeed prepared a lot. I am just glad to know that we are so secured here. Police men are in truth doing their respective responsibilities. What a nice feeling! Thanks men! Keep up the good work.

Where do you usually shop? Are you a wise shopper? Do you bargain if you go shopping? Do you haggle? Why do ladies love shopping? They always want to go shopping. They are afraid to be left behind by the trend. They always want to be in. For them, as if it’s not a poise if you are not in with what is new and trendy. On the other hand, gentlemen basically dislike shopping. It’s so tiresome for them, especially going with a lady, for they take a very long time while they shop. For them, it’s a waste of time.

I went shopping this morning. I am just out of spring clothes. It’s not so cold anymore. Gone are the thick coats. It’s another season, so another set of clothing. I bought three shirts, and two trendy cross necklaces. I am kinda happy. I am excited to wear them. I just feel exhausted. It’s always my feeling whenever I go shopping.

Well, what about you, how often do you go shopping? What do you usually buy when you go shopping? Are you particular of the prices? What I can say is, be a wise shopper. Look at the quality first and foremost. They may look like awesome, but the quality is not. So be very careful. Enjoy shopping everyone.

Everyone has a work to be done and this entails responsibilities. Logically speaking, everyone has responsibilities. Do you agree? How do you perform your responsibilities? Are you a dependable person? Can you be trusted? How do you execute your job? Are you happy with it? Are you satisfied?

Success in our work depends on us, how we carry them out. Another factor is the workplace, the environment, both the external and the internal environment. Sometimes we can’t perform our duties very well because of these factors. We are not happy with the environment. Am I right? So, why stay if that’s the case? Isn’t it that the reason why we’re here in this world is to be happy?



My work environment, both external and internal, is pretty conducive for productivity and development. I kinda like it here. Our location is somehow perfect. We are almost near to everything, supermarket, restaurants, hotels, banks, bus stations, malls. In other words, we are in the downtown area. We are on the third and fourth floor of a building. One thing good is that we have an elevator. We have a big, clean and well ventilated office for teachers. All of us have our own computers in the office. Kinda great! My colleagues are also easy going, kind, helpful and supportive. I unquestionably like it here. I was just lucky I was assigned in this branch school, as I heard, the most beautiful among the 10 branches. Well organized!

Well, you, friends, do you also have good working environments? I wish you all have. Make your workplace your second home and you will feel great. You pretty love to do all your stuff. You can do your work better and be productive. Thanks for journeying with me. See you!
