W.O.R.K.

While browsing the web, I stumbled upon a very nice quotation by Confucius:

"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."

True enough. Well at least for me.

I think what this saying implies is that you need to be passionate in everything you do, especially with work. You need to choose a job that will make you happy at the end of the day. Of course, stress and pressure are always tied up with any work but it's up to you as a person on how will you make what you do interesting and fun. Time flies so fast when you are having fun. (Yea cliche I know, but it's very true.)

Doing the same thing everyday is tiring and boring. Like in my case as a teacher. I teach elementary, high school and college 5 days a week. Just imagine all the paper works that has to be accomplished everyday. Preparing lectures, exams, seatworks and exercises is tiring. But I always try my best to make my job interesting so that I won't get bored. 

It's not anybody's fault if you are having a hard time with your work because it was your decision to be in that profession. I think in order to survive in the world of employment you need to: 1) Love your job and the people around you. 2) It's always nice to make new friends at work because you will spend most of your time with them than others. It's also good to make friends with your students when you're outside the classroom. Knowing them better makes you understand what they feel, how their minds work, and their different personalities. 3) You have to know your limits. You have to be conscious if your acting normal or waaaay beyond the line. Just be sensitive enough to the feelings of the people around your workplace. 4) Learn to adjust with your surroundings. Other people won't change for you. You need to cope with the new work environment.

I love what I do. Though I don't receive my paycheck regularly, no money can replace the fun and fulfillment that I get in teaching.

Tap Tap Tap!

I have a new addiction! haha. I got this game for my iPhone last week and I'm sooo loving it. It's called Tap Tap Revenge! Imagine playing Dance Revolution or Guitar Hero on your iPhone. 

The game is so nice and the graphics are great! It has 4 different levels of difficulty: easy, medium, hard and extreme. The extreme level is insane! haha. You can also play by yourself or challenge a friend. So much fun! haha

The game is simple, just tap the colored ball that appears when it reaches the bottom of the screen. You also have to shake your phone left, right, up or down as the arrows fall.

New song tracks are also available for download.  But the best part of this game is...........  it's FREE! haha.

You just might don't wanna play this in public because there are some moves that is a bit awkward in front of other people. haha.

Yo What's Up What's Up?

It has been exactly a week since my last post. haha.

My world was instantly focused to Andrew, my new baby. lol. I've never been enthusiastic again since my first iPod. You can't go wrong with an iPhone, really. No dull moments because it has many functions and features. You can play, listen to music, take pictures, or surf the web while waiting for someone at Starbucks. haha.

I'm just scared of one thing. Very anxious to get my hand on my first telephone bill. haha. One thing I hate about this iPhone, well not the iPhone but the Telephone Company who brought it here in the Philippines. 

Here's the deal. They do not offer unlimited data plans! What?! That's the main purpose of owning an iPhone! To get connected 24/7! But the greedy people at Globe only give plan subscribers free hours and then start charging us with P0.50 in excess. Arrgghh. But it's fine. With the growing number of free wifi hotspots, I think I'll survive.

So to fix the data connection charges, we used an APN Disabler that set's the APN to "NULL". That means your phone cannot access EDGE and GPRS. You can get the instructions here.

There are a lot of jargons that you need to know before owning an iPhone. A lot of it's features could only be understood by people knowledgeable enough in Macs or PCs. Why?  You will be using iTunes in synching photos, contacts, songs, applications, etc. and iPhoto or Image Capture in transferring images to your computer. But once you get the hang of it, it's cool. Your iPhone will be your best friend. 

This is my first time to have a postpaid plan so I don't have any idea how my bill will look like.

Here's another photo of Andrew. lol

I love the NTC logo btw. It makes the phone look legal. haha
