The year of 2014 is already ended,  But in the middle of the year there’s a lot of things happened in my life. As in totally turn my world upside down kind of thing. But.. I don’t let those things just blocked my way and just put me in the corner and be useless. For all the experiences I've been through there are some people making me feel better and stand and do something about it. My friends and family are there too support me. So every time I think of some happenings I try to forget it and think about something better and be happy about it.. And keep thinking I’m still such a lucky ass.

Life is really unfair they always say that, but its up to you if you want your world to become unfair.. for me every thing here happened for a reason.. so, if I did something bad, good and not-so-good  I just close my eyes and take a deep breath and think what must I do. Life is like that...for me J

Life Update: ”Where Did all begin?”

hello lovesss.

 I`m here again to share some of my thoughts about my work. this is the first time of my entry about my work. so, to start with let me give you a little background about my current job now. I`m working in a huge Japanese company JICC Japan Intertrade Callcenter Corporation.but I`m not working there as a call center. so my company has a lot of branches and one of this is NILS or Newtype International Language School this is where I`m working at. so, probably you have a idea now. I`m working as a ESL teacher or English as a Second Language and now this is my 6 months and 13 days here.

Thoughts about work:

It`s only fair to start with a quick introduction. My name is Afah and I`m an ESL teacher currently working in Cebu. I`ve been teaching here since 6 months now. This kind of work is interesting yet tiring. but if you start loving this work everything will just flow smoothly according to your plan. I know its a little bit difficult to teach English especially if your teaching people who has a hard in learning it.

So, that`s the introduction out of the way. Now you need a little history to bring you  to the present date. It`ll take a little while.

I didnt choose Cebu after a lot of planning. I just decided first to go to Baguio to have my review for my NLE but my parents wont allowed me to go there.the reasons is that its far after riding a plane I`ll have to ride another Bus and it will take many hours before I reach and they know my weakness that I`m not a land traveler like others and deeply thought about the circumstances and then my parents suggested Cebu and I said yes! so the argue about the place will I go done and I  follow my parents because I trust them with all my heart and I know that they know what best for me.

My teaching contract was something I considered when I joined. I was told to `sign thing, and this, and this and did as I was told. Jan 29,2013 I officially got the job as ESL teacher.

Thought about students:

The exciting part is here having my own class. I don't have any ideas who will be my students many questions comes in my mind like `are they good?, are they kind?,etc` I`m a little afraid also Haha. I don't know why. but maybe I`m afraid that what if there`s a circumstances that beyond my control and I cant handle it. Nah` my paranoid side is attacking me.

as I met my students all my paranoid side thinking is gone and my students they are all kind. handling a Japanese students is challenging. because some of them are funny and some of them are very serious. at first you don't know when to crack some jokes in the middle of lesson but as you mastered this skill everything will be interesting.

Japanese students are very serious in comes with studying their focus is really high and their attention life span is really long and they will listen carefully in every words come out from your mouth  that`s why teaching them was not a big mistake but a big challenge for me.

Teacher-Students:

Because of my job. I met a lot of friends my co- workers my students and people around me. I considered all my students as my friends. usually students stay to study for a many months and every day you talk and see each other. as the time goes by you shared a lot of things like experienced in life. I remember one of my students ask me `teacher are you a psychologist?` Hahaha I can`t forget this but of course I`m not a label claimer. sometimes in my class I act like a psychologist in asking questions. But I`m not will thanks to my college teacher sir. Jhundy my psychiatric nursing professor. I learned a lot from him.

Me and Co Teachers

What I can say about my workmates except from they are really intelligent and dedicated in teaching profession they are also the craziest people I`ve ever met in Cebu. I love this circle of people I considered them as my friends after all the things we`ve done together they will not put you down. love ya gurls!

Me and NILS

I never regretted that I become one of the ESL teacher in NILS I really love the people I love our jolly managers. you cant feel the barrier between the teachers and managers they are very kind and they are willing to teach you despite their busy schedule. 6 months passed already and sometimes I feel tired but if you see your students are learning from you all the tired days from work is worth it.

This are some of my precious memories here in work, that I will surely keep...

      NILS family we have a bunch intelligent ESL teachers to serve and teach you English to the fullest.
