Sugar n’ Spice

    Yup! I feel haggard almost everyday… I’m not complaining. it has been a part of my existence. With my line of work, haggardness is a very normal experience. I have to deal with almost a hundred kids everyday..Patience is very important, if you don’t have it then you should start looking for another job… Whenever I feel like quitting, I always look on the brighter side. I appreciate all the small things around me..even a simple hi and hello from a student can make me smile and be more positive.. I want to enjoy every moment of teaching, with all its complexities and hardships.. I realized that being positive in life can make a big difference. It can make you do ordinary things in an extraordinary way… Learn to embrace the pain that life may bring, remember that after the rain comes the rainbow…

    They say that life is all about choices.. The course of your life depends upon the choices you’ve made in the past. Once you’ve made your choice, there’s no turning back, you just have to live with the consequences.. Scary..right? What if we made the wrong choice? Are we going to suffer forever?
    Whenever I’m faced with a dilemma, I am always a sigurista..meaning, I always choose the safest option, the one that would require less changes in my life..I’m not a risk-taker either..I always stay within my comfort zones. Because of this, I see my life as a stagnant pool. I have less opportunities to explore my hidden potentials. I was often afraid of stepping out of my shell, scared that I might disappoint myself…     But all of these things changed when I decided to build a stronger relationship with God.. He opened my eyes to appreciate everything around me, that life is too precious to be wasted upon less important things.. He taught me how to set my priorities in life. Giving up things that would make me come out of my comfort zones. Giving up relationships that would hurt me and my loved ones… Before I surrendered everything, I tried to bargain with God.. In other words I was stubborn.. I ignored everything that He was telling me… but what can I do? God is God. Eventually, I obeyed, and I think it’s one of the most painful experiences in my life…  It’s hard and painful but ironically, I felt at peace with myself.. I know that God knows what I needed the most in my life.. God is faithful with His promises and He will never harm me. I guess it’s going to take a long process before  I get over my sadness, but I’m getting there…
