Blog: Jobless and Frustrated

Long blog post.

I haven't been updating my blog, and also my YouTube channel. I don't know why. Maybe I got frustrated ever since my previous boss, who actually promised me an increase in salary, a new program for my science classes, and also a new science laboratory for high school, did not rehire me.

Why?

I asked our Academic Coordinator why our Directress decided that the probationary teachers, including me, were not rehired by the school. She told me that the number of students for the schoolyear decreased, so that's why she decided that the senior teachers will be retained. So I was like, okay, it's fine.. BUT its already May and most of the schools are not accepting applicants anymore because they are starting their summer seminars, or they are preparing for the upcoming schoolyear.

I have no grudge against my previous employer, but she shouldn't have told me all her plans right? I didn't know that that would actually happen.

So I claimed all my stuff from the school, and learned that some of the probationary teachers were rehired. AND there are applicants inside her office. WTF. I can't think of any reason of not rehiring me. From the student evaluation, I got a grade of 4.83 out of 5. Our academic coordinator gave me an Excellent grade. SO WHY?? :((

I called my coteacher, who is the closest to me, and ask some stuff. Then I learned, there are "personal" reasons as to why I wasn't rehired. Anyway, let's just say that their family runs the school and her daughter is actually the Guidance Counselor of the school. I also learned before from a student that our GC didn't like me because i am "suplada"(snob), "may attitude", and "maarte". So if she is mature enough, why would she tell a STUDENT stuff about me? Good thing she didn't doctored my student evaluation, because she's the one who conducted that. LOL

Anyways, so I moved on, I immediately texted my friend and asked if their company is hiring ESL teachers. She said yes, so I applied. I also asked her if I need to prepare something, or what to expect. She said everything's easy and just update my resume. I went to their office in Makati, and I was given an exam.

I was super shocked. UPCAT exam ba ito?!

The exam was yes, HARD. So I didn't expect to pass anymore. She messaged me the other night, and told me that yes, I didn't pass :( Her exam was easier than mine because I applied for the Essay department, and her department is Summary.

Now, I'm sitting here in front of my computer, playing Baking Life and Nightclub City on Facebook and browsing at Jobstreet.com and JobsDB.com

I applied online almost everyday. Not one of them called.

FRUSTRATED.

I'm now on YouTube :) and an Update!

HELLO :))

Yes. I joined the makeup guru bandwagon on YouTube! But I will not be doing makeup tutorials as of now because I'm still practicing! I appreciated the girls on YouTube (specially the pinays!) who commented, gave me tips, and supported me :) And also to my subscribers, thank you so much. It means A LOT to me :) So yeah, if you want to see me, watch me, make fun of me, subscribe! NAH please don't hate :) And yes, I will still update my blog so don't worry I've got loads of products to review and they're all lined up!

Anyways, here's an update. You probably know that I am a teacher at an exclusive school here in our place. I'm under probationary, that means I'm not yet a regular. So yeah, this morning a call from the school woke me up, and I talked to our academic coordinator. She told me that a bunch of new teachers including my group, were not re-hired by the school.

I said that was okay and they should have told me a month ago.

Now I'm back to scratch. I don't know where to start again.

I talked to my mom and told her about it, and she said that it's too late to apply for schools because its already May.

Goshhhh. I think I might not teach for a year. I might apply for other jobs.

And good thing is, I can now concentrate on my YouTube channel. So that's it for now. Just an update and talk to you guys later :)

Review: Bath and Body Works Breathe Romance 24/7 Moisture Boost Body Lotion

...and I'm back! I am going to review my favorite body lotion as of now :P Since it is super hot here in the Philippines (yay for summer!), putting on lotion or too much gunk (read: sticky stuff) on my body is a no-no, until I rediscovered this:



This body lotion has been hibernating on my closet since December; My student gave this to me as a Christmas gift, and so while I was cleaning my stuff, I saw this one and tried it on my hand. I didn't find this sticky like any other lotion that I've tried and the smell is amazing. I love love love the smell! I don't know if BBW have a perfume or body splash in this line, if so, I'll definitely hunt for one on ebay.ph!

Pro/s:
  • very moisturizing
  • handy (good for travelling)
  • not too strong smell
  • has a pump!
  • the product is not tested on animals :)
Con/s:
  • can be bought in the US or abroad!
