...And now I curse you for being so sweet and so kind..... Ngr.
I will never forget that Monday afternoon at the office....
It was two weeks since I was adviced, quite tactlessly, not to apply for reclassification from lecturer to instructor, for the lame reason that my masters (applied mathematics) won't lead to Ph.D., plus an ever more silly reason that they can have fewer applicants to scrutinize.
Although I didn't show my frustration to anyone, deep inside me, I felt I was robbed. It was as if they didn't give me the slightest chance to prove myself to them or air my future plans to them. Although I had the choice to defy them (some colleagues really advised me to write that letter of application, ask help from some people, and so on), I just let it pass and just kept quiet. Nawalan na ako ng gana, kumbaga. But deep within me, I was distraught....I felt that it was unfair...REALLY unfair. I actually even contemplated packing my things and leave...
Well, days have passed, summer class days have gone, and the stigma of that crucial afternoon of my career slowly faded. By this time I have accepted such "tragedy" in my professional career. I was even happy to know that my friend has been elevated to Instructer 1 from being a lecturer like me. I also decided to give it a shot next semester, or even next academic year. For the mean trime, I will continue to give my best a lecturer of the department....
I will never forget that afternoon...but I want to remember it with the conviction that they can never let a good man down. I will try to do my very best to prove myself as a good teacher and student to them, no matter what happens. In His grace, I can make it....
Since the last time I tried (desperately, that is) to improve the layout of my blog, I have been taking aches and pains to study and manipulate my old template, even trying to decipher the source file of Adrian's blog (sorry Adrian, hehehe, peace :P) just to give my blog a refreshing look (read: para maganda sa mata). Well, I gave up, even giving up blogging for quite a while....
Well, until I read Adrian's blog again.
While we were chatting last Wednesday (12 May) he mentioned the new layout of his blog site, making some changes while chatting. Then I thought of going back to "manipulating" my blog spot again last night. Maybe I can do it this time, I thought....
And...lo and behold! The site has a new look, new features, and...new templates! I chose this template, made a few editing in my previous posts and...voila! My new blog! Cool look, isn't it? Bagay ba sa personality, Adrian? Hehehehe :P
Wow, I'm really, impressed with the changes in this blog site. Now, I'm inclined to post and make some changes in my blog....
Asteeg... ^_^
