Envy
I enjoyed doing things with my students. Their non- condescending mind-set gave me a break from prejudice and unfair judgment from the cruel world. My students gave me a new sense of confidence in what I do. And I loved to hear their laughter – so unpretentious.
But there were also times that I become impatient of [...]
Take Everything to Heart
Both my parents died of heart related diseases. It was devastating. Knowing that it runs in the family, we, their children have to live a healthier life style.
Both my parents died about 10 years ago. During that time, we know nothing about heart ailment. We only take what the doctors told us and accept it. [...]
Enculturation
My students enjoyed a lot of out of the classroom activities that I introduced to them. I taught Social Studies and I know that this subject is boring if we will stick to the textbook. I hate Social Studies when I was a student. I fell asleep during the class because the teacher just discussed [...]
Kindness Online
Kindness is beyond sympathy. Sympathy is more than understanding other people’s need. Understanding is deeper than knowing what other people feel. And compassion is not just having empathy for other people’s sufferings.
Having to suffer from sickness or diseases are consequences that people need to deal with either with compassion or remorse. For a person who [...]
One Aspect of Travel
One of the things I hate about traveling is the packing aspect. I hate packing. I get stressed out when I am packing. I don’t have the talent in packing.

When my girlfriends and I travel, we usually rent a car to [...]

The classroom is the place to carry out instruction. When I was a student, most [...]
The Home away from Home this Summer
During summer, Hubby and I like going out-of-town on weekends. He is a scuba diver and he loves the sea… the sand… and the sunset. I am no scuba diver but I love the sun… the spa… and the shopping.
This summer, since it will be our first wedding anniversary, Hubby and I are planning to [...]
Dead Bugs and Bird’s Poop
It’s a nice day today. Finally, I can now open our bedroom windows to let the air in. The sun shines brightly today. I was planning to work in the garden but then the bugs are bugging me, literally. When it is springtime in Maine, bugs are my enemies. I hate them. I hate them [...]
The Wedding Planner is No Monster-in-Law
For a woman, her wedding is the most important part of her life. It is a woman’s dream to marry her Prince Charming. I was one of those women. I was one of those ladies waiting for her dream-come-true moment to say “I DO”. I was one of those damsels-in-distress hoping that Fairy Godmother will grant [...]
