Hello Monday! Dubai weather has been getting warmer these days, not just because it is Summer. It just is. LOL
A flatmate of mine noticed that the weather last summer was more intense compared to this year. I have not gone out of the flat for a number of days now. I do not have money to spend. It is hot, and the humidity at night is unbearable. The neighborhood in Al Khail Gate is very crowded. Although I love my room and the landlady is nice, I will be moving out of here. This is not the place I have wanted to rent out for a long time. Why? We only share one washroom. Some rooms house couples. The one next to mine sometimes has sex so hard, that the walls feel like they're gonna break. Their bed has completely broken down. Finally, some do not know how to clean after themselves - the kitchen is disgusting. So bye.
In 2004, I entered the University of the Philippines in Baguio. It was amazing. The city of Baguio is a great place for studying, living, and making friends. I did not finish my degree. I stayed for as long as I can and gained employment in between. It was in 2010, that I decided it is time to go home. I just did not feel that school was for me at that time. Did I have too much fun?
I took another attempt at school in 2013 (?) when I moved to the Open University of the same Institution. I thought I was ready, and my mind is set on finishing my degree. Unfortunately no. I was as distracted as I was when I was younger. At that time, I was focusing on work and got really bad at managing my time. I feel I tried my best.
Working for 12 years now made me realize that a diploma, whatever degree you may have taken up, opens more opportunities. Yes, I got employed as an undergrad in 2010, but leading up to what I am doing now, and where I am? I need to become more. I am in my mid-30s now, and I still feel I can be more. I can do more. I can still explore and discover more. So I will try again. What's there to lose? Time. Money. That's what! LOL
