July 2018 Articles
Thank you to Joey of Thoughts and Afterthoughts for subtly reminding me that I have a huge responsibility to update my blog. Although, to be honest, he was only reflecting on his own blogging schedule and I just felt quite guilty. That feeling when you haven’t blogged in 5ever and your scheduled drafts end up going…
Looking for an INTJ 8w7
If you have encountered a person exhibiting the aforementioned description, let me know. I must say however that those who understand Cognitive Approach to INTJ are more welcome. I find INTJ 8w7 interesting to a scary degree. I have always daydreamed having a conversation with this person and trying to keep up. It’s such a…
Something smells kimchi…
In ten years of working in the field of education, I devoted three to four of them in Korean companies. If there is one thing I learned about them aside from how they make kimchi, it’s their intense pride in their nation, their culture, their language, their skin. A high sense of superiority for one’s…
The silver-lining: the Gods of VIBAL’s CPD Program
For many, the Continuing Professional Development Act of 2016 was not a good news. Let’s be honest: who has the time to go to seminars amidst the noble yet chaotic responsibilities of teaching?

MAY 2018 Articles
Have you ever read your old articles and remembered how exactly you wrote them? Do they evoke happy or sad memories? Same time last year, I was in a different environment. As I am writing this in an office full of busy people, their work stations separated by low green dividers, I can’t help but…
Define ‘dream job.’
Short and sweet: I work for VIBAL Publishing or now known as VIBAL Group, the biggest publishing house in the Philippines. Before I decided to quit my last job, countless of times I had been asked what kind of work it was and I was not able to give a definite answer. It was not…
April 2018 Articles
Time flies so fast! Just a backstory, I started collating articles on April first and now here we are, on the last day! Is this intro something worth reading? No? I thought so! A Guide to Twitter Hashtags for Book Bloggers (WordPress) I have just been using #amreading (or #amwriting) every time I tweet about books….
