Meteor Shower


It's not the Taiwanese F4, but tonight (August 12 @ 11:30 ~ 3 am) a meteor shower is going to happen. Tonight is the peak of The Perseid meteor shower,also known as the "Tears of Saint Lawrence".

I am looking in the skies while typing this entry and hoping all of my wishes with every star that falls may come true (if the sky would clear up a little, Oh! Grrr... it's raining T.T!!!).

Say your wishes too tonight! ^^

"Wish I may, wish I might
get the wishes we're wishing tonight"

For Eden: It sounded like you really had a bad night. Cheer up!

For Wendy: You're always welcome~ Wendy! With or without meteor showers, let's wish for the best!

For Emma: Wow~ I stayed 'til 2 am and got tired of waiting for the skies to clear up. Say, did you say your wishes??? (wink -* wink -*)

For Jehan: Hihihih... it must have been a sight! Your story reminded me of what happened to me last 2000 meteor shower, the only thing was, I saw it alone sa tabi ng kalsada..hihihih ^^

For Cheryle: I missed it too! hihihi... we surely need a series of meteor showers or a dozen of genies (?) for our wishes. kk

Samsung's AMOLED

Yup. I have a new phone and this is because of Chloe. She knocked out my phone so hard on the bathroom floor that made the monitor useless for two whole days! I went to a near Anycall service center and actually planned to repair it but they said that I had to pay for around 25,000won for a part replacement, I just thought of buying a new one since there are a lot of free phones nowadays and I had used my phone for more than two years. 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 ...
