:MY DaY MY WaY:

Saturday, December 30, 2006 I have just finished a ghost show with my brother on channel U. It has been a while since I am on such a long break. The weather has been extra gloomy, what with the incessant rains and biting winds that refuse to relent for the past 2 weeks. Nonetheless, it helps that the rainstorms brought down the temperature range and also provided for some welcome relief from the past months of blazing sun. All mothers will complain that clothes do not dry quickly enough for use during this period. I rather liked the rain, although it is too much of a chore to wake up, especially in the midst of hibernating conditions. The umbrella in my bag also proved to be more useful than usual, although crowds congregated too close for comfort in sheltered areas. Obviously, we needed to seek warmth amongst one another. ~ ~ The rains also refresh the being. Where it was suffocating within, being pattered by raindrops does alert you to the realities of life, that you cannot have the best of worlds. When they hit, you feel that tingling touch, and for me, it is liberating somehow, like a massage session. The noisy traffic becomes less audible, as nature takes command. People tend to be louder, but I tend to escape the masses in shelters and head out alone, protected from the elements by the trusty brolly. The mind takes a journey into past days, when coffee and bed were the norm, and I just had to laze about, while waiting for hot dinner. Nowadays, it has become distant, and indeed, life is sobering in this aspect. Dreams are made of the most fragile stuff, and memories are somewhat stronger, although equally as intangible. Reality manifests as a chain binding you to many loyalties, all at once. ~ ~ One should not compare, for one will never ever match another one else's achievements. Similarly, we assume different roles as we approach different stages, and necessarily incremental in position. We assume positions of graver importance, of economic and social necessity. It will be foolhardy to think about lazing around endlessly, passing by life as if it were a god-given. Nonetheless, framing certain aspects of life might prove more enlightening for the individual. A friend asked if I would take 30 thousand a month if the catch would be to slog like an animal for 10 plus years now. In the past, I would be hesistant. Now I will say no. I thought I will be more pragmatic, and people have always thought me so. Indeed, I am still realist, but I think I need to be a little bit more reckless, and try to have a good living, my way. I talk about bread and butter, and less about one another, even when I meet up friends. That should change. ~ ~ On a note, I have received my offer to do contract teaching, following which I will doing NIE studies. I will take up the offer, although the NIE route requires me to actualize my faith by holding me to my word. Another would-be teacher for the sacrifice, and I have heard horror stories about unruly parents, students and colleagues who destroy the soul of the unwilling, and waver the soul of the bold. I am offered english (the irony) and social studies (I am the antithesis of NE, people should know), so I wonder how the syllabus will be like. Some stuff of sociology are actually pretty deviant in the case of NE, so application will be interesting. Most probably, I will be doing duties at a secondary school so it will have to be wait and see. Life should be less regimented then, although I like my schedule presently, leaving on the dot. However, education has always been something I am open about, so teaching can be a serious mistress, while I make plans to leave my wife. I will miss the stable hours though. But a mistress is indeed traversing dangerous domain, and flirting with her for a few months is crucial to find out my aptitude towards her. ~ ~ weijie froze in time on 30.12.06
