Subject Matter: The Teacher’s Alibis

Ruthi — Tue, 18 May 2010 14:54:09 +0000

Once a teacher… always a teacher. I believe in that.

Though I am not in the teaching profession right now and doing everything to avoid teaching… I can feel deep in my heart that one day I will be back in the classroom. And even if I had tons of alibis to [...]

Hindsight: Storm

Ruthi — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 18:04:17 +0000

My ear was literally glued on the radio’s speaker as I listen to the news. It was not a good day. You could tell when you see those buckets in every room in the house almost half filed with rain water dripping from my dilapidated ceiling caused by the leakage on my rusted [...]

Subject Matter: Sentiments

Ruthi — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 13:10:04 +0000

Having been out of work for almost a year now gives me the stress I have never experienced when I was still working. Strange but true. Work is one of the reasons why people are stressed out. But I have never realized that being at home and not working is more stressful [...]

Hindsight: No Kidding

Ruthi — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 15:36:22 +0000

I was watching the Today Show earlier and one of the feature news is about No Kidding – a unique International non-profit organization devoted to singles and people who are “child-free by choice”. In simpler term… this is the organization for people who don’t only have any kids but they have no kids [...]

Subject Matter: Vacation

Ruthi — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 15:27:04 +0000

WHEN I WAS A STUDENT… vacation time was my favorite subject aside from “recess”. Whose kid doesn’t like vacation and recess, anyway? It is the best idea that school had every come up with.

Vacation means… you don’t have to wake up early and hit the shower so you won’t be late [...]

Hindsight: A teacher called Mistake

Ruthi — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 15:25:34 +0000

Sometimes I doubt it if I have what it takes to be a smart woman. I have screwed up a lot in the past but I can’t call that as being stupid. Maybe I just made some bad decisions or harmless mistakes or radical judgment that made me somewhat irresponsible.

But as [...]

QUESTION: Am I a good teacher?

Ruthi — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 02:54:04 +0000

People are basically proud of their achievements. Who aren’t? Achievements give people a sense of pride and power.

But…

some people are also basically humble of their achievements. Why not? Achievements sometimes give people a sense of humility too.

Maybe…

achievements can make people either proud or humble.

If there [...]

Hindsight: The Lessons

Ruthi — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 01:26:12 +0000

The lessons of our life are the reasons we are living for.

Taking each day as an opportunity for learning is indeed a course that we should walk off if we want to leave a print on other people’s lives.

Not all are given a great opportunity to leave a legacy for the world to cherish.

Not all are [...]

Re-educating myself

Ruthi — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 16:17:12 +0000

My NOTE: This was written during the first few months of my adjustment period here in Maine. I am posting it here because I am currently downsizing my blog accounts and merging them for easy management. Hope you find this interesting.

I have been out of work for more than six months [...]

Today’s Subject Matter: Laziness

Ruthi — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 16:23:45 +0000

My Bad!

I have not written anything here for a long time. I have no alibi. I am plain lazy!

I am working only part-time and have more free time everyday and yet, I can’t convince myself to write anything. Having 8 blogs finally took a toll on me. I do write every [...]
