I envy those who have the gift of gab. More so those who are able to convey their thoughts logically. Me, I struggle expressing myself orally. Specially when I get intimidate or when I'm shy. This was not me before. I was bibo. Witty. I was even an orator and extemporaneous speaker in my highschool. The "me" now really makes me sad. I prefer the bibo annd witty me. I believe people find you intelligent when you are able to speak well.

Being able to convey my ideas clearly does matter to me. I'll definitely grab a toastmaster's membership when my schedule gets lighter.

I'm inspired

been in a meeting with a classmate & friend. We discussed about a project. My first actually, so I kinda excited. She said she's not so confident about the other parts of the project. If ever, this will be her first time to do something about the said part. Kept on reassuring her that we can do it. Though, honestly, it's also my first time. I just feel we can do it because I've done the same in our company and though I do not have experience, I was able to accomplish what I had in mind. My membership in forums did help me a lot when I was starting. So I suggest starters do the same. Members of the forum where I joined have been very helpful.

my husband says he's sleepy already. So, bye-bye for now. Need to chitchat with him before he doze off.

Night!

I was hoping a could show to my husband the wierd thing I observed about Gmail but I forgot what my password is. I've tried to enter those I thought were the ones I used but I kept on getting error messages.

Anyway, unfortunate for me. As promised, I will try to make this post a little longer to make up. So... what do I tell you. Ah.. do you know that the Islands in Anilao Batangas have beautiful seashores? Yes, they have. And mind you, their shores are beaming with white sand. We had a great time touring the different Islands there. We stayed in Tingloy Island by the way where we were welcomed so well. People there are really very warm and hospitable. We were indeed overwhelmed by their kindness and hospitality. To reach the place, we took a bus going to Batangas (Pier) City. Fare I think was Php160 something. Really can't recall because we swing by Lipa first to fetch our cousins. Just tell the conductor you will go down in "Diversion". In the Diversion just look for the jeep going to Anilao pier. From the pier, we took a boat going to Tingloy. The jeep fare was Php22.00 while we paid Php27.00 each for the boat ride going to the Tingloy island. Boat trips are scheduled. We took that which will leave at 1:30 pm.

We were fortunate because we have company who know the place and the barangay officials of the place. We were also given discounted rates in the food, hired boat to tour the other islands, and the house were we slept.

What I liked very much about the place was the quiteness of the surrounding and the cool & fresh seabreeze. I would say the place is still not exploited. In fact, there were no other tourists until 9 am. We were able to enjoy the whole stretch of about 300 meters of shoreline and studied closely the enchanting mountenous rocks. According to our friend, who know the place, its because still very few know about the island. There were areas in the shoreline however covered by dead corals so its hard to walk without footwear. It's also spooky to go farther from the shore because such is already covered by yellowish seagrasses. I saw a seasnake traversing the grasses so i got scared.

Indeed if you are looking for a quite, unexploited beach I strongly recommend Tingloy Island in Anilao. Before I forgot, remember the Teleserye "marina"? Beautiful beach right? That's in tingloy.

been a while

It''s been awhile since I last posted. I have been too occupied with stuff at work, school & home. Do have a lot of things to tell, but seems uncomfortable as someone from behind might approach and find out about my secret home. Promise, I will write longer next time. Bye!

Stroll

Had a good stroll with my hubby today.... Can't think of anything else to write.... Let me try.

I wasn't able to attend my a.m. class. I felt so tired due to my monthly period. At about 8 am, I requested my husband to feed me, which he did obediently. I had to ask him because I was feeling too lame. I needed to take medicine, else I would suffer the whole day from pain.

Feeling sick, weak, and sleepy is normal to me when I have monthly period.

Good thing after my husband left for a meeting at about 12:45 pm, I was feeling well already. I rushed to the kitchen, heat water, and took a bath. My class in the afternoon is at 1 pm. It was already about 1:20 pm when I finished preparing so I hurried to get a taxi to the campus.

When I arrived one of my classmates was already finished reporting her topic. The other reporter seemed too unprepared but we all religiously listened to her blah...blahs.

By the way, we were reprimanded by our prof. According to him, he had told us before the xmas break that he will call reporters ramdomly, which I couldnt recall. He got mad because the poeple he called weren't prepared. Good thing, we were saved by a classmate who bravely said she can report already. She was able to finish immediately. Since no one else was brave enough to stand up to say he/she was also prepared, we were dismissed more than an hour earlier. Because of this, I was able to walk around the campus and observe the people on the campus grounds doing their own stuff. When I got tired reviewing my notes, I laid down on the grass. It's good to observe the sky in the late afternoon.

I'm sad. I've been reprimanded. I was told I act too slowly. Complacent when not being checked. Just kept quiet while being told about these things. But deep inside I was objecting.

No! I don't act too slowly. I act as fast as I can. It's just that I really haven't found yet the right mix of getting what he wants fast. Besides, a lot of outside factors are hindering me. Well, I don't want to pass on the blame. But honestly, it would have helped if my associates in the task concerned moved a little faster. Following-up. I might have focused my energies in reminding and following up.

Better luck to me next time. I hope this time, he says I doing a great job.

Worried!
