All In A Day's Work

Eversince 3rd year college, I've been working as an Online English Instructor Associate in a Korean Call Center on weekdays, personal English tutor sa mga Koreans na nakatira sa Makati pag weekends at tumatanggap ng labada paminsan-minsan...

Nothing beats the feeling of a teacher, at dahil sa trabahong napili ko, I was able to follow my vow of finding something I love doing and getting somebody else to pay me for doing it. Besides, it has its fair share of perks, I get to learn another language (Korean) and the working hours is convenient para sa mga katulad kong nagrereview para sa board exam.


and it makes me laugh...


*first day of class



student : yeboseyo? (hello)

leux : good evening! I'm looking for Park Ji yong?

student : molayo (I don't understand)

leux : park ji yong it so yo up so yo? (is park ji yong there or not there?)

student : neh.(yes) Me park Ji yong. Park Ji yong it so yo. (park ji yong here)
