a close to chinese thingy...

yes, yes, i know... i know that it's been a very, very, very, very, very, and did i say very long time since i updated this blog. you don't know what i've been through and what i be going through in the near future of my not so professional life (i don't have my license yet, hahaha, i'm half cooked).

Anyway, today is friday, July 31... after disappointing ourselves with our salary and yes it's pay day but, we're not happy. our adjustments were not yet added... huhuhu... i'm into a great depression and dillema which i really need to go through! i need not elaborate coz i know you will not help me anyway. but i'm still happy that this week is not that heavy... hahaha... stress-free week! yes! that's why i'm sitting my ass down and typing...
anyway, i'm already lost in my own storytelling thing. regardless of how much i received for my salary, i'm so overwhelmed...

let's turn back time...

last week or so... we have out chinese faculty in the school where i'm teaching right now... i saw this chinese faculty checking for the rooms if the rooms were cleaned because we are having this cleanliness contest in school. suddenly, a lightling struck my head. i was curious of what if i'm a chinese, what would my name be like. so out of my curiousity, i ask my chinese counterpart (she's the chinese adviser of my advisory class) if how are they converting english names into chinese names. i'm not implying something to her but she's one intelligent chinese. she knew what i want. to convert my name to chinese.

fast forward...

so, came today. i am suffering from a severe swelling of my tonsils since monday, July 27, for the very first time of my life for whomever's sake. and it's my co-teacher's post birthday celebration so she went out and bought us snacks. she bought doughnut and as we know, this thing is sweet and therefore i'm avoiding it coz of my tonsilitis. so what i did is that i gave it to my chinese counterpart and what happened next shocked me. after offering her my doughnut, she gave me in return my chinese name. it's Li Si (pronounced as Li Shi, i don't know what's the real score but i know how it sounds). and my chinese name means culture, refinement and gentleness which i really and immediately agreed on! i'm very happy that i have now my chinese name and as i smile and laugh aternately, she's doing the same thing. she's also happy for me. i can tell...

i'm now a chinese... in my dreams! hahaha
