W.A.Y.U.T. (what are you up to?)

Dear Friends,

Howdy? I decided to keep you posted what have I been doing so you will no longer wonder. It's no big deal though, but I just want you to take part in this busyness of life.My monthly activity report, in fact.

2009

COLD JANUARY - DRIED MAY: Amidst pressures and unbearable taunt of economic demands, I was still doing those endeavors I have been doing for many years.Yet hints to move on to another track were transparent enough. All I waited was a clear signal to go.For those remainig months in Saigon, and as I was busy helping the locals in many ways I was taken advantage of, I sensed that a new thing was coming its way. All i had to do was to be sensitive about it. And I was right. I love Vietnam so much and leaving the country was a sad thing to do, yet I had to. And I did it. Well, it will always be my second home.

RAINY JUNE: Vietnam is closing doors for me right now, so i decided to move on and find opportunity in Laos.It has been my desire as well to work among this people-group.While travelling for few weeks and did surveying; crossed the longest river in south-east asia called "MEKONG RIVER",I bumped into someone who I happened to know before.The conversation ended up accepting his invitation to work back in Phnom Penh.That is why I am here...for a new commitment.It also means that working in Laos is not the right time yet.

HUMID JULY: I finally decided to settle in Phnom Penh, Cambodia looking for possible opportunity to volunteer and work as an ESL teacher.

AUGUST AGAIN: I went to Singapore for the 2009 Ultimate Frisbee Open. My team goes there every year. And at the same time I met my professor for possible courses to bring to Cambodia for my Ph.D thing. I also went home to Mindanao because of emergency.A loss of loved-one(my brother).

STORMY SEPTEMBER: I started volunteering at Conversations with Foreigners, an international volunteering spot in the city.

WET OCTOBER: Volunteer,fund-raising, and learning the language again.I was also busy crossing Vietnam for important reasons while waited for our new school to operate.

WINDY NOVEMBER: I just finished a one-term-commitment at CWF, and very busy testing and interviewing new students.I like it.I love the certificate handed last Sunday, too.

JOLLY DECEMBER: Although it's not happening still, but I would love to inform you that a new, full-time job will start very soon. I will be working under an NGO called TCFL or "The Center For Learning." We focus on adult learners. Next week will be the strat of a busy day. So I need to get ready for this.YEY!
