feigning sickness…

without comments

sometimes prove to be helpful. oh c’mon a little white lie wouldn’t hurt, right?

i just told the guys i’m going to be sick tomorrow, boss asked if i was okay and they were all laughing. they want me to go to the musandam arghhhhhhhh. have i known i’m still going there whether i like it or not, i would have said yes to the guiding part. gosh, i am going snorkeling! sounds like a really cool thing to do, but to tell you the truth it is not! i hate swimming around with the life ring attached to my hand. snorkeling is good only if you are doing it, not guiding. arghhhhhh again!

anyway, let’s see how it goes tomorrow. i am anticipating storm coming this part of town, mean mean mean me hahahaha. i hate waking up very early that’s why. i am never a morning person. and tomorrow i have to wake up earlier coz i have to make a wake-up call for my snorkeling partner, if i don’t do it his dad would kill me hahaha, nope i would be dead, with the number of snorkelers i’ll be guiding!

wish me luck! i’m gonna watch a movie tonight, i don’t care if i have to wake up very early!

when you’ve got nothing else to do…

with 2 comments

you do things in the spur of the moment. one of my good friend instructor told me i am very lazy! just today he told me to do the discover program, he will be there to observe. i told him i will think about. of course i want to do the dsd but right now i duwanna jump in the pool, not that i don’t like it, but the water is dirty, i have to wait until they change the water–well call me maarte but i used to stay in the pool for a long time and later i have white patches in my skin. i’d rather go and dive at the beach, and this time of year it’s just too hot. i told him i lacked motivation. he was surprised coz i used to be very active. i guess the bottol line is– i got LAZY. so while i am not on with it, i channeled my attention to something else. when frank told me he is conducting an efri class, i told him i will join him. i still need to do my care for children before i am eligible to join the instructor course, it’s like a suicide, i joined marky’s cfc class, and had almost 30mins break, then went on to join the efri class without reading my manual ( just got it 5mins before class started haha!), the whole program runs for 3 days, i asked my boss to excuse me from my work whilst attending the full course. it was fun, educational, and it’s on a different level. i dunno why i took it really, it’s just that i got bored and need to do something with my life. i never really think teaching is fun you know, it never occured to me really! but anyhow, i survived it! then last tuesday, they asked me to assist in the classroom. technically i can’t teach yet coz i don’t have my license yet but i am preparing myself for this job. it’s like another milestone for me. anyway, too much talking about myself. i just wished i finished my DM course soon so i know where to go from there.
