Excuse me~

I'm sorry if it would be a trite story to begin with why I didn't update my blog for a very long time.

First, I'm really busy because of the school vacation schedule. I have to work two hours early than my regular class and finish a little late because of my special class. Then I also have a weekend class to make.

Second is that, I try to make up for the lost time with Chloe.

Third, I've got some private classes, volunteer jobs and friends to meet once a month ( I have 4 group meetings <계모임 - gye mo-im >) So I usually have no extra time at all on my free days.

Christmas, New Year, Chinese New Year... I wonder why year-ends are always this busy!
My niece from Thailand came a week before christmas and stayed for the holidays. December and January are the most populated birthday celebrants including my in-laws, niece and nephews.

So these leave me to sleep late and wake up early the next day~

Am I now excused? hihihi~

To pay 25k for an old, really full of scratches phone (because of Chloe) is too much for me since sooner or later I also need to replace it. In the end, it turned out not to be a free phone(850,000 won / $690). Tommy bought this phone for me saying that I need a "much, much better phone" because of his daughter...hahaha! and because I've been always using free phones since I came here in Korea (which are NOT really FREE PHONES because of the additional services included in the phone bill for the first few months). So, I resulted picking thi...

The Woes of a Filipino English Teacher

by Thess Manangan (Busan, South Korea) ---------------------------------- This aticle was shared with us by Ate Thess last Saturday at the FEESK meeting. It was published as a featured article in KOTESOL's English Connection ten years ago. We were very thankful and fortunate to have her as a guest speaker this month. Thanks ate Thess~! --------------------------------- Are native speaking English teachers better qualified to teach English than non-native speaking English teachers? Since living in Korea for more than six years, I have asked myself this question countless times. Non-native speakers of English, especially non-white Asians, face a difficult task finding quality teaching positions. Being Filipino, I have faced many closed doors when looking for teaching posts. It is not easy because Koreans hold certain perceptions of what foreign English teachers should look and sound like. If you don’t fit their perception, then you are simply “not qualified” to teach English. I came ...
