ups and downs

sometimes I forget all about the good things that are surrounding me. sometimes i'm like a tree that trembles with even a breeze. sometimes i lose my faith and hope in the one I've promised many times that i will never forget him. and then i feel ashamed of myself, my behavior, and what i'd said. i wonder how i can become so absent-minded and thankless sometimes. and today is one of those many days that i'm deeply embarrassed about nagging every single person during the past few days. so it's me again thinking about how i'm lucky to have such wonderful people in my life, i feel much better now ! ;)

like life...

It's cold out there.
I need to remember summer.
I'm looking out of the window, thinking about all the hard days i've been through, and waiting for the better, warmer, and shinier days.
sometimes it's just too cruel and unfaithful!
life...

Obligatory chance!

I have a very dear great elderly  professor who is the principal of the school where I teach in, too. He is knowledgable, well-educated, and the most honest and humble person that I've ever known. he's the one who went out of his way to help me with my whole thesis writing process. So he's so valuable to me and i really truly adore him. It has been a while since he started giving me his books (mostly educational ones) and asked me to write a summary about whatever I read (so he can share my understandings with others). Frankly speaking, I didn't like what he was asking me to do, at first. I reluctantly read the first book he had given to me and decided to make an excuse the next time I was going to meet him and not to take any more books. Because I thought that he was kind of forcing me to read the books which were far beyond my level of knowledge. But when i met him the next time, i couldn't  make any excuse so i took another book and the next time another one and another one and......then the time arrived that i wanted to borrow and read the books from the bottom of my heart.You know, I realized that there are many things I can know about and that I can grow my knowledge. There is a huge difference between a person who reads books even though he/she doesn't have to, and a person who avoids reading books for various reasons mainly because he/she is a lazybones or busy! there is a gigantic gap between the one who cares about knowing and the one who doesn't. And fortunately, I've come to comprehend this difference. So I consider myself as a lucky person ;) and I hope I maintain to this good habit of mine for good!

This is what I'm reading for now.

O' weekends....

after going through a really tough weekend (with my noisy students at school) finally i get some rest at my mom's home. she is a great cook and i really got a kick out of her delicious lasagna ;p i lounged around the whole weekend and  ate lots of goodies!
i really feel much happier after my graduation. also i got my dream job in an IB school which really makes me be on top of the world. sooooo every thing is going great for now.

yummmmmm

my most used accessories

i love wearing accessories; however the simplest and lightest the pieces are, the more i prefer to wear them.

here are some of favorite pieces i wear almost everyday. 

what kind of accessory do you wear most?

i'm in a quandary!

i've been offered a good position in a well-known international school.i am supposed to work 10 hours a day  and i may have to allocate the time i'm at home to this job. so i've been vacillated back and forth between accepting or refusing this tempting offer. the problem is that i haven't had a full time job before and i'm not used to working hard. i don't know what to do. if i accept this job, i have to stick to it for an entire year according to the contract. soooooooooooooo, that's one of the hardest decision i have to make by my own.

i'm so grateful to my dear God for helping me be the person that I AM right now.

i'm thrilled, i am:)
