Now that we venture to a foreign country, it is logical for us to be well-verse in English – both in speaking and writing. In terms of writing, I can say its okay. But, in terms of speaking, it can use a lot of improvement. Though I feel I can communicate, I always stutter. Words keep rambling and it’s hard to relay the message I want to send. It only means I need to practice speaking fluently and confidently.
One of the suggestions I found in the net is through continuously familiarize the English. In addition to reading, it’s also a great idea to listen to audio books as well as recording my voice when speaking and reading aloud can help me assess myself. That means I need digital recorders for this matter. But, I still have to read some tips on finding the best recorder because there are hundreds of these in the market. Going through each is exhausting. Well, finding a recorder is just a little challenge as compared to becoming fluent in English without stuttering.
It’s been more than a month, yet I’m still not used to our situation here. Having a lot of people in one room isn’t my thing. I used to have the luxury of having my own space where I can privately retire at the end of the day. But, that is not the trend here because of the high estate cost. The rent of a small room can eat up our entire monthly salary. That’s why one room has at least five people occupying. In our room, it’s seven, which is a bit crowded. But, I’m trying to adapt to this kind of set-up and environment.
The whole thing needs to be perfect on your wedding day. It has to be a sunny day, the birds must be singing, your makeup has to be just so and your hair dare not be out of place. You have picked out the perfect wedding dress, now all you have to do is find the perfect wedding shoes. Should be easy enough, right?
For days, Elaine whines about the situation of her sister. I can feel she is deeply concern to her, which is expected from a kind person. I sense she doesn’t want the girl to go home, but she has little choice. I’m not sure how to comfort her. The only way I can think is to consider the situation positive by telling her it’s a blessing in disguise. Her sister now has the chance to learn new things that can open other opportunities in the job market. She now has the option to study cosmetology. Doing so will give her the background and skill of the beauty industry.
Finally, I already received the good news from the company I applied. They already sent my offer letter stating everything I need to know about the company and the job. I can now rest my head that soon I will be earning. The bad thing, my joining date will start on the 1st of November. It only means I have to renew my tourist visa for this month or else I will have to go back to my country.
Nearly all of us have so many fragrances these days that we tend to get bored and tired of them very easily. We want to get rid of them, but don’t know how we can do that, as we feel bad chucking it in the bin or just disposing of it. However, there are many ways in which one can utilize their old boring perfumes, instead of wasting them.
I’m feeling a little uneasy for the past two days now. Waiting for the good news is quite tough actually. My patience and faith is indeed being tested in this situation. As time goes by, I’m becoming uncomfortable thinking that they could have changed their mind in accepting my application. That’s why I looked for a diversion and that is through surfing the web and watching movies with hubby.
