Trouble, I sense

A police officer came to my rented house last night trying to make some money while trying to sound threatening, what a F*&ing B%#** (pardon my French). Oh, he made my knees shook and almost peed in my pants...(joke intended here). What a turd, he didn't get anything in return, but an embarrassed expression on his face when he left. Yeah, i think i felt his irate frustration as he left the gate. Hahaha, don't you just love it when you use the law to slap the face of a law enforcement agent who's trying to be a leeching maggot?! Loving it. Muahaha.

New Things?

Perhaps a new motorbike is in store for me. What do you think about a Honda Airblade F1? I think Honda is the preferred make here in VN. The locals believe it's reliable and durable, so I will give it a try. Wait till next month to see pictures of my baby.

What else is new? Oh yes, a possible trip back to Nha Trang at the end of August after summer session ends at school. What's on the agenda, possible hitting it up in Phan Rang (Ninh Thuan), Tuy Hoa (Phu Yen), and Buon Ma Thuot (DakLak)? So i will be going for two weeks. If anyone is interested in going, just holla and we can arrange something.

Nha Trang, Again?

Private Teaching

I just love private teaching. One on one attention is so much better for me and for the student. The student doesn't need to compete with other students for the teacher's attention, while the teacher can devote more effort and time for the student's development.

It's crazy but 4 years ago i couldn't have imagined myself as a teacher. I dredded the thought of tolerating someone who couldn't understand anything; and not having the patience for it didn't really help either. But now, i just love what I do, it's such a rewarding experience and of course money isn't bad either...hihihi.

Anyways, enough prattles about my wonderful job, i'll move on to mention my plan for June. I'm gonna head out to Nha Trang on the 6th-8th of June to enjoy me some Beach Festival. It should be great since they have a lot of spectacular shows and events planned for the whole week. Oh, did i mention all you can eat seafood at a price so cheap that you're gonna say, "whoa, that's crazy!"

Okie, some eye candies when i return from my trip...until then adieu mes amis.

Rain, rain, and more rain

Yep, the rainy season has started and its effects are soaking in. No pun intended. I feel the combination of a scorching day and a wet night is putting a lot of stress on my immune system. I sense I might come down a terrible cold or something. However, this weather is not about to put a damper on my spirit. I am planning a mini trip to Nha Trang on the weekend of 06/06 to get some Festival Bien (Beach Festival) and to absorb some good sun and cool breezes.

Nha Trang and the good ole days...

Oldie

Troi oi, toi moi hai muoi tam tuoi roi. Toi thay tuoi cua toi rat la cao nhung toi van thay minh con giong nhu gai 18...hihihi.

Yep, i just turned 28 two days ago, but i am gonna celebrate tonight. Hopefully get drunk enough to forget the big 28. Now, who wants to see a drunken Annie? Will prolly post some pictures of me getting wild. Btw, wanna shoutout to my birthday twin, the I-am-not-a-virgin-anymore birthday boy, SaigonNezumi.

Hahaha, don't kill me!!!

MERRY XMAS from NAM

Merry Xmas everyone!

Hmm...Xmas this year feels a little strange, a little lonely and a little sad. Xmas is a time when family unite and celebrate, but i am so far away from home and family. I definitely gonna miss all of my presents...kekeke.

JK JK...i am not that selfish.

Season's Greetings!!!!

Back On

Yes, you will see me more often, now that i have internet in my apartment. It's so difficult to get internet when your landlord lives in Hai Phong.

Everything is normal, maybe a little hectic. I teach a lot both at SaigonTech and Cleverlearn but i really enjoy it. Seeing my students' smiling faces makes it all the worthwhile to wake up early and commute 30 minutes to school. Aww, teaching is such a great profession.

Anyway, a few lines here just to let you know i am still alive and breathing. I will be back soon to post pictures.

Have a good one, kitties!

I've gone MIA

Wow, has it been that long since i last updated? Man, my life is so hectic that i can't even tell you what day it is even if you ask me....hehehe. I am teaching 7 classes at SaigonTech along side Cleverlearn...i am dying of exhaustion.

Well, gotta get back to grading the homework..oy ya ya. Hope you all are doing well. I will post pictures very soon of my new classes at SaigonTech :-D.

SaigonTech

Party time!!!
