My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • This is the last weekend of the course I was taking for the past six weeks. Now, I will have to focus on readings related to my doctorate again, but I’m up for it. One of the good things about taking the online course is that by procrastinating on my tasks, I got a lot of other things done around the house. For some time now I’ve been wanting to rearrange a couple…

  • I’m so glad this week is nearly over! 😀

  • ON NOT FINDING THE PHONE AND CONTACTING POLICE Well, on April 25th I posted about my iPhone being stolen. It was a sad and frustrating day on the 24th. While I had hoped that eventually my phone would be returned to me, I waited a few days to no avail. Finally, I called and cancelled the SIM card to ensure I didn’t get charged for any random calls. People wanted me to go…

  • After my post yesterday, I thought perhaps I should seem more positive. So, this morning I am thinking of the good points of life and the day: *It’s Thursday, which means the weekend starts after just two more classes. 🙂 *I’m going to eat Korean food tomorrow as I catch up with a friend/colleague, which will be nice. *I love my bf, bff, family and lifestyle. *There are only 43 days left of…

  • …did you know that sometimes as I smile I am imagining smashing your face against a wall? Or, that every time I see a particular student I smile as I imagine pummeling his face into a bloody pulp for the torture he and his fellow classmates put me through? Or, that when I say ‘Hi, how’s it going?’ I really want to say ‘You’re a pathetic fool and I despise you?’. Or, that…

  • I’ll attempt to keep this all theoretical and as objective as possible, but it may be hard. One of the reasons that I started doing my dissertation on the topic of leadership development and training is because of working with so many leaders or people who want to leaders who don’t have the basics in leadership skills. Of course, there’s the argument of is a leader born or made? There’s also a discussion…

  • Time is flying by and I have gotten out of my habit of writing regularly – either here or anywhere. Here’s what’s been going on: *I’m taking an online course through tesol.org called “Training Trainers”, which has been pretty good so far, though keeping me extra busy. The good thing about taking these courses are the contact I make, plus it keeps my head fresh towards working on the PhD. *Speaking of PhD,…

  • _Steve Jobs_ by Walter Isaacson Like the man, I found the varied reactions of people to the book to be passionate. The few people to whom I mentioned that I was reading this book gave me responses such as “He was such an asshole that I couldn’t keep reading it,” or “He focused too much on doing drugs and this is suppose to be a role model,” or “He really wasn’t much of…

  • Well, my silent period for thinking turned into an extremely busy period of working. Thus, the thinking has been pushed aside and the space in my brain has been filled with stuff at work, an online course and my research activities. Amidst all of this, I’ve been pulled to a slight halt when yesterday afternoon someone walked into my closed office (though not locked) to steal my iPhone while I went to the…
